TO LOSE GOOD CITIZEN
RETURN TO FORMER HOME
J. L. Cline to Return to jefferson
County for the Present, May
Return Here Later.

J. l.. Cline, who movtd to this coun-
ty from Jefferson county, East Ten
nessee some two years ago, plans to
return to his old home. He is not
yet decided if he will permanently To-
cate there or return here.
Mr.. Cline came to this county about
two years ago and bought what is
known as the Lowndes farm, about
a mile north of Howard Springs. He
has been farming here since and is
we'll pleased with the country and the
crops he has grown.
He owned farm in Jefferson coun-
ty that he sold during war times, when
land was high, for $4,000. The pur-
chaser paid him $1,000 cash but was
unable to complete the payments and
a short time ago he decided the farm
back to Mr. Cline. Recently Mr.. Cline
sold the farm for $1,000, just half what
he contracted it for a few years ago.
He has sold half interest in his
Lowndes farm recently and has de-
cided to move back to East Tennessee
for the winter. He is undecided at
this time whether he will buy in East
Tennessee or return here in the spring
and take up farming on his place
again.
He is an Industrious man, a good
citizen and is much respected by those
who have learned to know him since
coming here. 1t is with much regret
that the people of the Howard Springs
neighborhood see him and family
move away and his departure is dis
tinct loss to the county.

had been living in Greensboro tor
several years working for the South

timber interests there.
Mrs. Jarrett was formerly Miss NO.
ra Southard, the daughter OF Mr.. and
Mrs. D. F. Southard, here. They had
heard of the serious illness OF the de-
ceased and left on the afternoon train
for Greensboro. They had hardly ex-
pected he would survive until they
arrived. The telegram announcing
the death reached here shortly after
the train had gone and their son, J.
B. Southland, caught them by phone at
lockwood and impaired the sad news
to them. They went on to Green's
boro and will accompany the remains

A CORRECTION.

Inour issue of the Chronicle for last
week we made the statement that the
steel is on the ground for the Daddys
Creek bridge at Antioch. We have
since learned that we got wrong
understanding of the matter in our
talk with Mr. Bilbrey, who is doing
the concrete butment work.
The steel for the bridge has not
yet been purchased we are reliably
informed Mr.. Bilbrey expects to com
plete the concrete work on the piers
this week. Then will follow the work
on the approaches. The bridge will
not be erected before the low water
period of next year To attempt it
during high water would almost sure
ly result in much needless trouble and
expense.

HOW MANY AUTOS
AND TRUCKS NOW
IN OUR COUNTY
There Have Been 24l Autos and II
Trucks Paid License in County
This Year.

Few things mark the life and prog
ress of any community more fully than
the number of automobiles and trucks
in county. A glance at the books of
County Clerk W. D. Hedgecoth shows
that 24I autos and II trucks paid the
privilege tax the past year. The to-
tai amount collected by Clerk Hedge
Goth is $2,S72.s6
The gasoline consumed is a further
evidence of the life and activity of
the community. The Standard Oil
Company established its filling and dis
tributing station here some three or
four months ago and has ben supply
ing practically all the gasoline and
oil used in Crossville and vicinity by
our home people since. While we have
not the figures for the entire time
the Standard has been operating here,
their local manager, S. w. Swicegood,
has kindly given us the figures of his
sales for the month of November. The
gasoline has amounted to Io,6o5 gal
Ions. The fuel and lighting oil has
amounted to S, 800 gallons; a total
of I6,6o5 gallons of both for November
Doubtless considerably more gasoline
was consumed during some of the sum
mer months than in November. AS it
is, the consumption of both gasoline
and oil for November was slightly
over S45 gallons q day.

The editor of the Chronicle IS m
receipt of letter from A. ]. Forbes,
who will be remembered by many of

molasses and -quartered shoes.
Very few of these articles named can
now be found in the general stores
of this section. Several of the articles
named could not be found in the coun-

Later Mr.. Forbes retired from the
goods business and became the owner
and editor Of the Tennessee Times,

L'E11fa11t Terrible
BY ROBERT L. RIPLEY

Youth is certainly being served
these days.
The astounding array Of young
athlets that are bursting into bloom
in all parts of the country indicates
great things for athletes in a few
years. II the youthful Weissmuller,
Houser. Jones. Collett, Wainwright,
Riggin, Richards and others are able
to accomplish record achievements
at the present time, what will they
be able to do with a little more
strength and experience that a few
years are sure to bring?
Johnny Weissmuller, the Chicago
boy. is only IL years old. yet he is
already the greatest swimmer that
ever touched the water. He has al
ready made 1S or 80 worlds records
at various distances and styles, and
this is his first season out. Before
he is 20 this young wonder should
hold every existing swimming record
up to 10 miles. Swimmers, as rule.
improve up to the age of 80, so the
possibilities of this modest youth are
unlimited.
Last year Bud Houser, a 1T-year-
old high school boy from southern
California, defeated Pat Mcdonald
for the national shot-putting cham
pionship with an astonishing heave
Of about As feet. Wait till he grows
up.
Young Vincent Richards. who has
been performing miracles on the ten
mis- court for several years, is not
20 years old yet. About week ago
he defeated r. Lindley Murray and
Bill Tilden on successive days for
the indoor championship. Richards
has defeated Tilden. the worlds
champ, on one or two previous occa-
siops. He should improve with age
and strength
Recently Miss Glenna Collett. an
1S-year- old girl. has created a sensa-
ton on the links. She was but II
when she defeated Miss Cecil Leitch.
the famous English lady. and this
month she won the north and south
championship from q large field of
the best women golfers in the coun~
try Miss Edith Cummings who was
runner-up. is about the same age.
Bobby Jones requires no comment.
He has been a boy wonder for years
and is still around 20.
There is an abundance OF youthful
material in the water. There is the
famous little Miss, Eileen Riggin, who
went over to Antwerp and won the
fancy diving championship of the
world at the age of IA. and Miss
Helen Wainwright. who finished but
one point behind, and who is but a
few months older. Miss Wainwright
has developed as a swimmer. and 1t
is predicted that she will soon out
distance the champion. Miss Ethelda
Bleibtrey.
There are many others in different
branches of sport. Young Francis
Hussey, 17-year- Brooklyn
schoolboy, ran the 100 indoors in 10.1:
Ralph Hill of Princeton is IS. and
put the shot AZ feet; Joe Moore, the
worlds amateur champion skater, is
not yet 30 years DID, Rzeszewski. the
Swear old Polish chess wonder, and
a flock of kid ball players too numer-
Gus to mention.
