MOUNT REDOUBT AWAKES
 ALASKA'S VOLCANIC CHAIN

"The waking into activity Of Mt Rcduubt in Alaska reminds the peo- pie of the United States that in the Alaska Peninsula and the Aleutian Islands, which sweep from it almos, to Asia, there is one of the most eX- teusiye and most active volcanic re gions on the face of the earth" says a bulletin of the National Geograph- ic Society in Washington, D. c.
 "Redoubt is not remote from the settled portions of Alaska, 1t con- tiuues, but rises close to the west ern shore of Cook Inlet, at the head of which is Anchorage, an important port on the Alaska railroad recently constructed by the federal govern meut. This mountain and a com paniou peak, Iliau na, are conspic- uous landmarks for ships which steam up Cook Inlet They are al most perfect cones, and with their snow-coyered caps gre like Fujiyama RcdOubt forms, ls far as is now known. the landwarj end Of the long chain of volcanoes which stretch to the southwestward along the Aleu- tian Islands for Lore than 1.2O0 miles and which have been spouting fire at intervals for hundreds of thousands of years.
 Although RedOubt, passive for nearly 20 years, is showing only clouds of steam, those who have ob- served the volcanoes of the Alaskan chain are not reassured. for these volcanoes have a d.sCOnCerting way of blowing their heads off' with lit tie warning. Katmai, 200 miles to the south, which is one of the chain that had been long dormant, eXplod- ed suddenly in 1912, constituting one Of the dozen greatest eruptions of historic times. A scientific eX- petition sent to the crater by the National Geographic Society found that two cubic miles of material had been blown from this previously passive mountain. It was while mak. .ng study of Katmai that that unique natural phenomenon, The Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes. was found Augustine Mountain, in Cook Inlet. less than 100 miles from Redoubt, blew it's top off suddenly in 1883, leaving only a jagged stump in place of it's perfect cone The whole Alaskan volcanic chain is a unit of volcanic action, and it is always problemat.cal where the next outburst will occur.
 "Telltale fossils and types of rock show that the mountains of the AL aska peninsula and the Aleutian Isl- ands are older than either the Hima- layas or the Alps, systems which are practically withou. volcanoes. It does not follow, however, that vol canic activity accompanies age, for the Appalachians, among the oldest of the earth, have no vol canoes"

Mrs. ]. W. purviancs Dead

Mrs. Rachel Clara, wife of J.
W. Purviance, founder and for
many years editor of the McNairy
County Independent, died Friday,
January 20, 1922, at her home on
Pharr avenue, The end came
peacefully, though for several
weeks she had suffered from a
complication of diseases.
Mrs. Purviance was very dom
este in habits and taste, rarely
leaving her home where she radi-
ated happiness and good cheer.
Throughout the period of indis-
position she displayed the same
cheerful disposition, often COM
menting on the kindness of her
friends and neighbors and ex-
pressing the wish that they
might never be afflicted as size
was.
Mrs. Pur Vance was born in
North Carolina in 1853, being 6S
years old. In early childhood,
she came with her parents to the
spot where Selmer now is. The
home was situated on College
Hill. After the death of her
parents, she, with her two sis
tiers and a brother, was taken
back to North Carolina and rear
ed. She was afterward brougt t
to Purdy by her uncle and guar
dian, James Pharr. Here she
met J. w. Purviance and they
were married in January forty
nine years ago.
She was a member of the Pres
byterian church.
Interment was in Oakhill Gem
'etery Saturday, after funeral SER
vices at the residence conducted
by Rev. R. A. Cody, assisted by
local pastors.
To her husband, who will miss
her presencean tender solici tude
and to her sister, Mrs. M. L.
StaH1back. Mrs. Moselle Eamil-
ton and Mrs. Louise Ander son,
neices, the Independent extends
its sympathy.

The Tennessee Farm Bureau is
arranging state pool to pur-
chase fertilizers for the farmers.
1T is proposed that the farmers
of each county pool their orders
and then the counties.of the state
come together in a State pool.
If thisplan can be carried out and
the fertilizer for the entire state,
or good portion or it, can be
purchased in one lot it will mean
several dollars per ton saving to
the farmer. The county pools
during the past year or two has
saved the farmers three to four
dollars per ton. With as large a
purchase as State pool, it should
be more of a saving. While this
county has no Farm Bureau or
ganization, it is provided that a
county with a county agent can
enter the pool. McNairy uses
normally faom 20 to 80 tons of
fertilizer per year. We should
take advantage of this offer to
purchase fertilizer at the lowest
possible rate.
