GREENEVILLE
Dear Editor
me a li'tle space in your good paper.
as Cookeville is my old home. I en
joy writing to its readers.
Health is very good up here at pres
ent, but the weather is very cold.
I have made lots of money while In
Greene county, but have had consider
able bad luck. I have been in Lou
don county for three months building
pike roads, but live in Greeneville.
Dick Harmon is my engineer in Lou
don. Dick and myself have got them
all skinned building pikes. I have
been about all over East Tennessee,
but I would not give old Putnam coun
ty for all of them to live in. I heard
a traveling man say in Loudon that
Cookeville was the nicest little town
in the state, and I agreed with him on
that. If I had work to do of my kind
in Cookeville I wou!4 not think of liv
ing anywhere else but there.
Come on Ed Ferrell with your let
ters and tell me how you you are get-
Wade Dunavin have you found you
a cook yet? I haven't. If there are
any old maids back there you might
snip a carload. to Kansas for they are
in great demand and there are lots of
old bachelors here.
Jap of Cimarron, Kas., has it rained
any more out there?
Wonder if Lowell Mahan of Eads,
Colo., takes the Herald. If so let us
have t letter from him.
Wake up all you writers and write
to the best paper in the United States.
J. B. Allison.

BAXTER SEMINARY
Baxter Seminary opened for the
spring term last Thursday in the new
building. The enrollment was nearly
100 on the first day and it is thought
the attendance will reach 150. At the
opening exercises speeches were made
by several prominent citizens of Bax
ter and Dr. Ryan was congratulated
for his completion of the building.
The building is modern and meets
the needs of an up-to-date school. It
is two stories and basement, of pour
ed concrete, electric lighted and steam
heated throughout. The building will
be dedicated later on.
