NEW CONDITIONS FOR OUR
COUNTY HI6H SCHOOL
Careful Discipline, Watchful Care and
General and Cloe Supervision
to Be Maintained.
The County Board of Education will
i
make a very determined effort th
year to place Cumberland County
High School on a higher and more
efrVrtive hatic nf urrrr anH rnnrlnr
than In the past, to the end that the
attendance may be increased, that the
parents over the county may be en
couraged to send their boys and girls
to the school they are helping to main
tain instead of spending more money
in helping to maintain another and
more distant school.
lhat the bchool Board will have
the hearty and persistant cooperation
of the high school faculty in this effort
there is no reason for a shadow of a
doubt. Ihe high school taculty have
felt this lack of discipline and cn
couragmeijt in the past just as fully
as'does he Board of Education now.
This is the strongest assurance that
itheir cooperation will be both earnest
and persistant.
Sinre the Pnmmprrial lintel nroner
ty has been purchased for a dormi
tory it is very plain that a closer
watch can be kept on, the conduct and
movements of the students than in the
past, for he teachers will live in the
dormitory also and thus be not only
better situated for observing the daily
conduct of the students but can lend
a more hedpful hand to the proper
direction of the daily routine of both
conduct and study on the part f the
pupils.
It is , the purpose of the School
Board to install something of a mild
military discipline in that all students
Will be required to have regular
Study hours, be in their rooms by a
certain time at night, lights out at a
certain time and all must' arise at a
cerain time and strict punctuality to
rnjeals and classes- will be required.

its utmost to .arrange for every

last, minute rush of students will be

Board much more difficult while mak

Every young person who plans to
enter school this fall is urged to in

County Board and the available, re
sources of the county for serving
them before deciding to ge elsewhere.
Every citizen of the county owes it
to our high school that it shall have
his most earnest and hearty support
in every way possible. It is hoped
our people will fully appreciate this
and act acordingly.
The School Board fully realizes

BIG LAND SUIT DECISION
-TOUCHING 2,300 ACRES
Land Lays Five Miles South of Cross
ville and Represents a very
. Large Sum.
Within a few days the State Su
preme Court has handed down a de
cision touching a large body of land
that we feel will be of interest to
many Chronicle readers. The suit has
Kfif-n in the rnnrte fnr several vpars.
The outcome and conditions surround
ing the land suit are, briefly stated,
as follows :
The cause of Walling et al. vs.
I.antana Pnal Comnanv ft al. which
was brought into the Chancery Court
at ('rrimville some time aco was de
cided in the Supreme Court at Nash
ville last Saturday, opinion by Judge
McKinney. giving most of the land to
the defendants.

individuals to recover about 2300
acres of land in the easterly half 01
mwn r.rant ifaA. some five miles
south of Crossville, around the Geo.
riauTsnn nIH nlare.
There were manv lesral nuestions in
volved causing much interest among
lawyers and the parties interestea.
In the fhanrerv Court the Bill of Wal
ing was dismissed as to all the lands
he claimed except a strip containing
and what is called
Entry 445 of 125 acres. The Supreme
court affirmed the Chancery Court
2,1 mnHifiprt its decree so as to dis
miss the bill also as to said strip leav
ing as the recovery 01 waning me
so called 125 acres, which is really less
than 120 acres.
The defendants had been in posses

the parts claimed by them for many
years, and the said Ziegler et al.

every way probable that Capt. Peck
has no superior. His first hand in
formation relative to this section, the
iurpnsing fertility ot the sou, its
moodiness that permits the use of the
cry latest labor-saving machinery,
l,n unli-nriiH climate, the cheaoncss of
the land, all tend to make Capt. Peck
a warm friend and a hearty boster for
Cumberland county. Just how much
benefit his coming to the county wil-ul

absolute monarch on earth who has
not some subjects who long to blow
him up. His people adore him. They
have no taxes to pay. On the con

State Fire Authorities in
Near Future.
Dtiring the spring fire season of
1922 there were 36,330 acres of Forest
Land and I 1 17 acres of nnen UnA
burned over in the nrnt.-rteit
Tennessee. The proctected area com
prises: 1 the F.ast Tennessee Moun
tains along the North Carolina Boun
dary; 2The Cumberland Plateau and;
3 The Highland Rim in Lewis. Hick
man and Wavne counties : an area r,(
over 5,000,000 acres. On this area 100
fires were reported with an estimated
destruction of timber, vouuir erowth.
cord wood, loirs and improvements
amounting to $36,643.00.
Messrs. J. T. Ashburn, R. R. Dunbar
John C. Jones and A. B. Wyatt, Dis-
. J . I . 1 r , . 1 ,
inn jrairuiiuen, 01 vumneriana county
reported 30 fires which burned over
845 acres of virgin timber, 4,252 acres
of cut-over land and 240 acres of open
land before they were extinguished.
27 of these fires were of unknown
origin and three incendiary. They
destroyed and injured timber, young
growth and urazinK: to the extent of
$3,076.00.
The annual loss in Tennessee due
to forest fires has been estiated to be
at least $500,000 in past years. Forest
fires destroy timber, game, birds, fish
and streams; they injure grazing and
the hog range so that at present they
do not comnare with the ranee nf
years .ago. By keeping fires out o,f
ine wouus everyone in a community
benefits either directly or indirectly.
So, lets all be careful' with file in
Cumberland county, so that we have
better and more timber, better and '
longer grazing, a better hog range'
better soil and more game, birds ana
