J. J. WILKES BUYS GARAGE
REPAIR DEPARTMENT
Harrison Motor Company Sells That
Part of Its Business; Took
Charge Yeterday

Monday a deal was closed between
the Hafison Motor Company and J.
]. Wilkes whereby Mr.. Wilkes pur-
chased the tools and repair equipmen,
OF the company and will have full
charge of that department of the busi-
ness. The Harrison Motor Company
retains its stock of repairs and other
equipment along with its sales agen-
cies and the Harrison brothers will
continue to direct that part of the
business.
Mr.. Wilkes will conduct his repair
shop in the same building with the
HARRISON Motor Company and there
will be very close and friendly associ
alton existing between them.
1t will be remembered that a few
weeks ago the Ohio Garage burned.
1t was the property of Mr.. Wilkes
and as he lost all his tools and sup
plies along with the building he had
regarded it better business move to
buy the tools of the Harrison Motor
company and conduct his repair busi-
ness in connection with them than to
go to the expense of rebuilding. Mr..
Wilkes has had several years expert
ence in the automobile repair business
and is a capable man in his Inc.
WILL BUILD RESIDENCE
Mr.. Wilkes has just purchased the
corner lot opposite the residence of
N V. Speck and will build seven
room residence on it between now
and spring. The residence will face
Stanley street The residence is to
be two story and will cost around
81 400 to $4,000. 1t will Be very de-
sireable acquisition to that section of
town.

CROP REPORT SHOWS
WHEAT IN STATE GOOD
Acreage Sown Ten Percent Greater
Than Last Year in State
Whole Country Less.

Following is the crop report for De-
cember: The acreage sown to wheat
in Tennessee this fall shows a nice in
crease over that of last year, accord
ing to G. L. Morris, Agricultural
Statistician, Bureau of Markets and
Crop Estimates, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.
The weather has been exceptionally
good for seeding, and farmers made
fair use of the time, though, on account
of low prices and poor yields, Tennes-
see, as a wheat state, has woefully
declined in the past twenty years. The
acreage in 1900 being 1881 900 acres,
while the acreage sown last yeai
was only 100000 acres.
Possibly there has never been
season when acreages between coun-
ties have varied so much as they
have this time. Some counties made
good increases, while the adjoining
county might show a decrease from

OLD TIME SPELLING.

Arrangements are being perfected
for giving an entertainment in the
High School building Monday night
in the interest of the Parent Teachers
Association.
The entertainment will consist OF
special music, few readings, to be
followed by an old time spelling match
in which the Blue Back speller will
be used. All grownups in town are
especially urged to be present and as
many of the young people as possible.
There will be no admission fee.
The purpose of the entertainment
is to give stimulus to the plans and
purposes of the Parent Teachers As
sociation in the way Of securing more
members aud to promote a larger and
more energetic interest in the aims
and objects before the association.

organized sewing circle or something
but generally there is nothing at all
to do. Any sort of lively organiza-
ton will appeal to girl between the
ages of ten and twenty, for then is
when she longs for social contact.
This is one reason that the home DEM
onstration clubs that have been organ
lied in rural districts have been appre-
|ciated by the girls"
The home demonstration clubs take
into account the social side of the
girls nature. Every girl in the coun-
try has more or less leisure time or
should have and if this leisure time
can be diverted to such work as is
given by the home demonstration
clubs, the girl is certainly to be bene-
fitted.
The country girl should certainly be
encouraged to join an organization of
this sort if the oportunity is given to

This is the situatin confronting count
less girls living on the farms in Tenn
essee, who have been visited by Miss
Margaret Ambrose, assistant home
demonstration director, Division of ex-
tension, in her work among the club
girls. Home demonstration clubs
make their greatest appeal to our girls
by taking into account the social side
of the girls nature" explained Miss
Ambrose. In many instances the or
ganization of home demonstration
club for girls in a neighborhood has
been the means of general improve
ment in the community spirit. -
Sometimes in the country I find

which the girls take part. Sometimes

ON THE TENNESSEE.

The boys of the battleship Tennes-
see continue to get out one OF the
soundest, best and best printed little
periodicals anywhere. In the current
number, lying upon this desk, there
is this:
"The steam that blows the whistle
doesn't run any machinery.
But haven't you noticed that among
..r,eo5 Rlsol The big bio owers, IRE
tie loud-mouthers, the band-lcaders in
the procession, the Old Man know-It-
All Of every enterprisc--they who talk
the bulliest, don't run any machinery.
They never get down to tinker on
broken axle; they never come out
in overals and oil the running gear
they never hammer, nor nail, nor
drive srews, and yet Solomon in ali
his wisdom never knew half as much
as they.
Don't be just a whistle blower; get
an oil can, monkey-wrench and
screwdriver and go to work. You
might help polish up the brasses, clean
the lamps and gather UP the rubbish
if you can't handle any of the big
tools, Don't just toot the whistle.
The Lord gave men the vigor Of steam
power for something better than pit
fle and noise. You know what The
Book says about it.
whatsoever thy hand findeth to
do. do it with thy might; for there is
no work, nor device, nor knowledge,
nor wisdom, in the grave, whittier
thou goest."
In another part of the great volume
there is something about sounding
brass and tinkling cynlbal" which
might, as we'll as not, mean the
steam which blows the whistle. w.
