PURCHASES GOOD FARM
C. E. Harrison Buys 13s-Acre Farm
from w. E. Read, Two Miles
Southeast of Town

Last week G. E. Harrison pur-
chased of w. E. Read his farm lying
two miles southeast OF town on the
road to Grassy Cove. In the deal was
also included 1o3 acres lying near
Dorton, four miles east of town.
The purchase price of the two prop
critics was $1,000, which is regarded
as a rare bargain.
The farm on which Mr.. Read and
family lived consists of rs acres of
cleared land, 5-room cottage, good
we'll barn and other buildings. A
lew years ago Mr.. Read lined several
acres and it now seeded to clover ana
grIss. The are quite a number ot
IN it trees CT the farm and they ha>e
5ecn hand. with care by Mr.. Reed
tee past few years. The property
..es we'll and beng so close to Town
is susceptible of being made into a
very valuable farm within few
years, with proper handling.
The Io3-acre tract near Dorton is
undeveloped, but lies we'll and Is
near the Memphis-to-Bristol High
way, which makes it desirable pro-
perty.
Mr.. Reed and family have been
here for about three years. They
tare quiet and Industrious people,
moral aand we'll behaved. They left
yesterday for Independence, Missouri
where they plan to make their future
home. In religion they are MEM
bers of the Reformed Mormon
church and not believers in that
most Objectionable feature of Nor
monism, polygamy. Their friends
here will wish for them happy home
in the west and regret to see them
go away.
Mr.. Harrison has rented the farm
TO T. D. Davis and others, who will
cultivate it this year.

CUTTING SCRAPE
Bunk Goss Cut Severely in Left Side
BY Alb. Norris Sunday
Morning.

Sunday about 10 o'clock Alb. Norris
severely cut Bunk Goss in the left
side. The cutting took place near
Adams Ford some eight or nine miles
north of Crossvil1e. Norris is sup
posed to have been drinking but Goss
was not, according to reports.
The cutting came about in this
way, as the information comes to
the Chronicle: Alb. Norris, who
seemed to be drinking, was insisting
that he ride a horse belonging to a
boy Norris is said to have drawn
his knife and scared the boy. Bunk
Coss interceded as a peace-maker
and urged Norris not to hurt or scare
the bow and to let the horse alone.
Norris then turned his attention o
Coss and cut him to the hollow IN the
left side between the seventh ana
eighth ribs. The cut is about two
inches long and since it went to the
hollow may prove fatal.
DR.. V. L. Lewis was called shortly
after noon and went othe scene ana
dressed the wound of Goss. Goss
vas cut only once and while the cut
is serious the chances for his recov-
erv are regarded as favorable.
Up to the time of going to press
the Chronicle had not learned OF
Norris being arrested or any attempt
being made in that way.

No Bids Made on the $4,000 School
Bonds of the City Last
Friday.

In commpliance with the published
notice Recorder ]. D. McClaarney Of
tered for sale, at public outcry, Friday
the proposed $4,000 of bonds to be
issued by CrossvilIe for building a
public school building. No bids were
made and the bonds failed to sell.
There seems to be two defects in
the method of sale and manner of
redemption that probably had much
to do with the fact hat no one offer
ed to purchase he bonds, in spite of
the fact that the city has compara-
lively no indebtedness and that the
bonds were to bear six percent in
terest.
The first defect was in the manner
of sale. No provision was made in
the publication for receiving sealed
bids, which may have prevented per-
sons from a distance from bidding
as their presence was necessary to
make an open bid and no bond pur-
chaser would go to the expense of
sending a man here for so small an
amount Of bonds.
Again, in the redeeming of the
bods it was not stated that the bonds
could be redeemed by he city any
time after ten years ON ANY IN
TEREST DATE. 1t simply said the
bonds ccould be redeemed in part or
all any time after ten years. The
four little words ION any interest
date" may not seem very important
to most persons, but they are regard
ed of great Importance to bond
buyers.
Wha further action will be taken
looking to the sale of the bonds will
be determined at the next regular
meeting of the city board, the first
Friday night in May.

STOLEN CAR MRkEs TROUBLE CITY BONDS FAILED TO SELL
Claude Hale and Robert Meadows,
Jailed in Default of $1,000
Bond, Escape. :.

Claude Hale and Robert Meadows
were arrested last week by Marshal
Lilies for bringing stolen property in
to the state. The property alleged
to have been stolen was Stude
baker automobile.
The facts as we get them are about
as follows:
Hale and Meadows arrived here
April 2 driving a new Studebaker.
Hale claimed to have gotten the car
from a man by the name of Church
at Norfolk, Va. He contracted it to
J. B. France for $3.50. France gave
him his check but Hale could not
get the cash on the check and the
trade was not completed. Hale later
traded the car to c. E. Keyes for an
Overland and $500 in cash, Keyes to
hold the money until he could inves-
tigate the title. After investigation,
Mr.. Keyes decided he had better not
trade for the car.
Marshall Lilies got suspicious of
Hale's ownership of the car and tel
egraphed to the Secretary OF State of
Virginia to know who held the IL
esnse number on the Gar claimed by
Hale. He was advised that the H.
cense was issued to H. c. Smith. Mr..
Lilies then telegraphed Mr.. Smith to
know if his car had been stolen. Mr..
Smith replied that it had. The Mar
shall then arrested Hale and Mea-
dows and advised Smith to come to
Crossville. Mr.Smith replied that
he was sending H. P. Cox who was
driving the car at the time it was
stolen. In the mean time the case
was continued until Mondsy of this
week and in default Of bond Of $r,ooo
each Hale and Meadows were turned
over to Sheriff Walker.
Mr.. Cox arrived last week and thru
attorney Geo. P. Burnett instsituted
detinue proceedings to get possession
Of his car. The case was heard before
Esq. o. B. Rector last Saturday and
from the evidence submitted, Mr..
Smith was th owner of the car.
The criminal case against Hale and
Meadows was called for trial Monday
afternoon but both the defendants
had taken French leave, although
they were supposed to be securely
locked up in Jail and at this time they
have not been heard from.
Judge S. N. Smith represented the
defendants and Geo. P. Burnett rep
resented Mr.. Cox and the State.

GROCERY STORE SOLD

chase the f. H. Washburn grocery
meat and restaurant business near

alton was not made public.
A little over years ago Mr.. Wash
burn purchased a half interest in the

ness being conducted by F. A. Losh-
bough & Son. In a short time Mr.
Washburn became sole owner OF the
business and has enjoyed nice bus
mess and was not lookig for buyer,
but having a chance to sell decided

NO MORE MEASURING
All Apples. Potatoes, Etc. Must be
Sold by Weight and not by
Measure.

The last Legislature passed law
requiring that all dry products such
as apples, potatoes, onions, etc. shall
be sold by weight and not by meas
ure.
1t has been the custom for years
in practically all Wholesale markets
that potatoes, especially, be quoted
at the 100 pound rate This act of the
legislature will further that idea and
it is very probable that the time IS
near at hand when apples, onions and
all dry fruits and vegetables will be
sold by the Ioo-pounds instead OF by
measure. s

FLOUR MILL PROBABLE
Local Parties Seriously Considering
Erecting Building for Mill
Near the Depot.

Local parties are seriously con-
sidering putting in a -four mill within
short time. The matter is in such
a crude and unformulated condition
that the promoters do not wish to
have heir names mentioned. 1t is
known, however, that they have $Io,-
600 or more in sight and there is
every probability that the mill will
be put in within the next few months
They have a lot fronting on the
west side of the railroad at the de-
pot that has a frontage of over 200
feet on the railroad and extends west
to the street, distance of 200 feet or
more. The location is an ideal one
as it will be possible to unload grain
ito bins lower than the railroad track
and at the same time load -four for
shipment without having to elevate
it, as the mill floor will be on level
with the cars. We expect to have
something more definite to state
within a short time.
1t has been suggested that it would
be an excellent plan to embrace IN
the mill sntArnris.. an electric light
ing plant of substantial character,
one that will furnish ample power for
ay and all enterprises thaht may want
to come to our town, as well as all
any and all enterprises that may want
owners of our town light plant, we
feel confident, would be open to
considering a feasible plan for such
an arrangement. 1t could be effect
ed by takig over the wires OF the
present plantsand anysother parts OF
the pYant that conditions may justify.
