Plight Of Russian City Recalls

AsTRAkHAN. Russia, April S.--Once

ton, the situation of this city reminds
the visitor of the condition of New
Orleans after the civil war. 1t is trying
to regain its former prosperity. but the
process is slow. Even In its position
Astrakhan resembles New Orleans in
some ways. The city is pitched on an
island on point where the Volga River

The commerce OF Astrakhan was once
comparable with that of st. Louis. Mem

furs, in fish. in caviar and busy

Volga. There was once food for every
mouth and clothes for every back, work
aplenty for every man.

The immediate result Of these eighteen
days OF carnage was the destruction or

blocks of stores filed with drygoods and
Persian and Turkestan carpets, silks
and other fineries.
The ultimate result is indicated by
the bare fire-burned walls to-day stand
ing gaunt and cherries, with no work
on the river and no food in the homes
for these workmen. The people have lit

WHO WAS TO BLAME?

A young girl came home in anger
one day and told her parents that a
young man on the street had spoken
to her in a disrespectful way. Her
+motherwas as much angefed as the
girl when she heard the story, and
both thought the father should take
up the matter.
But the father said, Daughter,
you are not an immoral girl, but
let me tell you a few things that
will help you to look differently at
the matter. You are young and at
tractive, and your dress is such that
it displays ali your charms of face
and figure. Your arms are bare al
most to the shoulder, your waist is
cut so low that a good portion Of
your shoulders and chest are ex-
posed to view; your skirt is narrow
and the slit in the front, with your
bright, short petticoat and your
gauze stockings display your limbs
almost to the knee; your dress is
cut that every line of your figure is
seen in bold relief. You went out on
the street with your companions
and saw this man aud knew that he
was stranger, but you laughed and
tossed your head as you passed him,
and perhaps made light remarks
that he overheard.
He is stranger here and did not
know that you are moral girl, for
he could not think so by your ap-
pearance. l am sorry that it occur
ed, but, daughter, you are as much
% blame as he. ."-Selected.

Mr.. Dillon was a former resident
of Morgan county; he had been at
Knoxville only year, going from
Va, where he vas in the mini &
business; before this he had been a
farmer for the most part. He has
surviving him his widow who was a
Miss Howard Of this county, four
daughters, Mrs. e. L Brown, Knox
vile, Mrs. T. l.. Gamble, Detroit,
Mich, Mrs. Howard Cooley, Petros,
Mrs. O. G. Welch. Oakdale, two
sons, Arthur and Howard Dillon,
Applachia, Va.
Mr.. Dillon was an excellent man
in many ways, a consecrated mem
ber of the Presbyterian church, a
member of the Masonic fraternity,
a man Of high ideals; his untimely
death is quite shock to his family
and wide circle of friends.
The funeral sermon was deliver
ed in a brief but forceful address at
1920 P. M. Tuesday at the local
Presbyterian church by Rev McCor-
mick of Knoxville. One of the larg
est audiences even had in Wartburg
witnessed the obsequies and the
pentup emotions Of the devoted
family and the friends wities ed the
deep appreciations of the many vir-
tues of the deceased.
Blessed are they who die in the
Lord for their works do follow them"
Beyond this vale of tears
There is life above,
Unmeasured by the flight Of years,
And all that life is love-
Knowing of him as we do we are
:ure he would like to have said of
him as Edgar Guest has it.
But would like to have my story told |
BY smiling friends with whom I've
shared the way i
Who, thinking of me, nod their heads |
and say
lis heart was warm when other hearts |
were cold"

The key note of this Convention

| The key note of this Convention
is the improvement of the rura
schools, 1t is an admitted fact, thai
the rural schools must have more
attention than they nave had in the
past. The business men, the school
men, and the officials of the state
and nation recognize the Importance
of these schools, and the importance
of the education of the boys and
girls of our rural districts bear to
the social, religious and economic
! affairs of the state and nation.
The people of Knoxville have
shown the greatest care and courtesy
toward these visiting school men
and ladies. They have furnished
rooms at the Colonial Hotel free to
all the superintendents and mem
bers of the school boards. DR.. H.
A. Morgan gave an informal recep.
tion to these educators at his home
on the University farm, Monday af-
ternoon, and the Street Car COM
pany furnished transportation free.
This way very delightful trip and
reception. The Rotary Club of the
city gave luncheon to the superin-
tendents of the quarters of the Com
mercial Club and this was very
delightful occasion. Representative
speakers from the three grand divi-
sions of the state were called upon
to respond to a toast. Supt Brown
ing represented West Tennessee,
Supt. Hunter, Middle Tennessee,
and Supt. Peters. East Tennessee.
State Supt. J. B. Brown, for the
state. Tuesday night at Tennessee
Hotel another reception will be CIV
en- the superintendents, and We'd
nesday night, the business men will
give the superintendents a dinner at
the Commercial Club, and at this
dinner, DIR, Tegret, U. S. Commits
sioner of education will address the
superintendents. If these luncheons
and dinners do not kill me, / Iexpect
to be at home next Sunday, but in
case die from over eating, | have
instructed my friends to take my
body to Morgan County for burial.
@ Very truly, 80 az

The Superintendents' Meeting.

The meeting of the County Super
tintendents OF the State at Knoxville
this week is one of the greatest
gatherings of this body of educators
which has ever been held in the
state. Together with the 81 super
intendents at this meeting are sew
eral board members from different
parts of the state, State Superin-
tendent Brown has prepared very
fine program and this program has
been taken up with enthusiasm.
This body of school men from over
the state are aware to the interest
of the schools to a greater extent
than ever before. To call them men
is not all together correct, for Cooke
county has lady superintendent,
also Dyer County, and these two
wide awake ladies are here with the
greatest enthusiasm for the better
ment of the schools of the state.

RATHER UNFORTUNATE
MISTAKE.
Tusculum College. Gard From
MIR. Justus.

One of our brightest young wo'
men and successful teachers in the
county schools. Miss Edna Human
went to Tusculum college, after hav
ing sent ten days before her credits
as graduate with honors from Cen
tral High school, and was after the
expense of the trip, denied admis-
sion with the statement that they
did not recognize the work of the
High school. 1t seems from the
statement of Miss Human that the
Dean had no classes of the Fresh
man year of the College into which
she could take work so that new
class wonld have to be had for her.
entering at this time of the year
this seems the real reason instead
of the suggestion of the standing of
the school.
AS to the standing of the Central
High may we suggest that it had
formal accredited relations in the
State Department of Education
which means that the University of
Tennessee and the standard colleges
accept the work as coming from a
first class high school; Miss Marie
Heidel of the same graduating class
was admitted without question into
the Berea college, Berea, KY; she
was admitted without condition to
the Freshman year of the college;
Berea College is a standard college,
one of the seven in Kentucky, and
has an attendance of 5000 pupils,
5000 acres of land, over So, ,O00I
in buildings. in fact one of the
greatest schools of the South.
May we say that if the Tusculum
college had any doubts as to the
matter why did they not call up the
State Dept, and save the young Ia
dy the cost and the Disappointment
of the trip. Tusculum will not, for !
a moment, claim to be in the same |
class of colleges as Berea. In the
next place they had the credits sign
ed by Mr.. Justus in ample time to
have written Miss Human of the
question they raised and to have no.

so that she would not have made !

ing me. took the cleaver in hand
to chop off the fish's head and just

the door and at the same time ans
wered, "Chop off his head"
Outside stood an agent, mouth

his head he apparently was scared

In Sweet Memory

Of our dearly beloved mother, Louisa
Schubert. who died March 8. 1918.
When the March winds are blowing,
And we are sitting all alone,
In our hearts there comes a longing
If mother only could come home.
Oftimes our hearts do wander
To the grave not far away, -
Where we laid our dearest mother
Seven years ago to-day.
For all Of us she did her best:
May God grant her eternal rest.
Sadly missed by Her Children.
