VOLUME IX.
COOKEVILLE, TENNESSEE, THUESDAY, JUNE 15, 1911.
NUMBER 24.
x Mt. View Lodge. No. 1791. 0. 0. F.
met at the usual hour June 10th. 1911
with J. M. Haynes, N. G., presiding
and some twenty brothers in attendance.
Quite a lot of routine business was dis
posed of.
cro. u. btaiey is stiu improving
slowly; Bro. R. F. Pippin is some bet
ter; Bro. J. H. Hodge is sorely distres
sed on account of the very low condi
tion of his sick daughter; Bro. B. .V.
High was reported very sick; Bro. S
D. Davis has recently had arelapse and
is suffering a great deal with rheuma
tism. ",- ' ' ' '
The committee reported favorably on
a petition for initiatory, after ballot he
was declared elected. Two applicants
for "tKe 3rd degree were elected. One
petition for membership by ancient odd-
fellow was filed and referred to com
mittee. The 3rd degree was conferred
upon two brothers. ' ,
There will be work in the initiatory
at the next meeting which falls on Fri
day, the 16th inst.
At the rate the dues are being paid
now, it looks like all the brothers will
be entitled to the new pass word which
will be given out on July 1st. It is
earnestly hoped that such will be the
case. Such was never the case before.
R. E. Bilbrey Drowned
R. E. Bilbrey of Algood was drowned
while bathing in the Caney Fork River
near Buffalo Valley last Saturday after
noon. A party had gone to the river
for a few days outing, including Mr.
Bilbrey and family, H. A. Draper and
wife, and others from Algood. In swim
ming the river it is supposed Bilbrey
was seized with cramps. Mr. Draper
went to his assistance, but failed to
reach him before he sank. : The body
was recovered Sunday forenoon and tak
en to Algood for burial.
Mr. Bilbrey was one of Putnam
County's best citizens, and about 30
years of age.
" Teachers' Institute
As has been heretofore announced,
the Putnam county, teachers' institute
will be held in Cookeville, beginning
June 26 and continue two weeks. The
daily program will be published next
week and will be followed strictly.
There will be seven and one-half, days
of institute work, and two and one-half
days devoted to examinations. Part of
the instruction will be in the form of
lectures, and part actual class work. I
suggest that teachers who obtain cer
tificates are expected to atttend this in
stitute. -Examinations will be given in
every branch of the Public School
course, both primary and secondary,
and also in the reading courses.
Several distinguished educators,
among whom is Ex-Supt.:R. L. Jones,
will address the teachers during the
session. .. y
The institute for Colored teachers will
be in Cookeville at the same period as
the institute for white teachers, and
will be conducted by B. F.. Hill, assisted
by others. ". . . . ' ,
As far as is practical, I suggest that
all country schools begin July 17; how
ever local conditions may govern the
commencement of these schools.
Let us worlc together for a successful
institute. Respectfully, .
J. M. Hatfield, Co. Supt.
A Splendid Record
Trustee O. N. Draper has made a
splendid record in collecting taxes his
first year in office, there being onlya
little over $300 state and county taxes
unpaid, including the penalty and inter
est. And this has been done in spite
of the scarcity of money so many com
plain, of. . - :, ' "
