BUENA VISTA, COLO.
Dear Wirt: I have been thinking
since I left Cookeville that I would
write you an account of my trip so
far, that it might be of some interest
to my friends and the many readers of
the Herald in general.
I left the greatest town on the map,
Cookeville, Tenn., on the afternoon of
Nov. 4 to visit my wife and two small
' children, who have spent fourteen
months at this place, for the benotflt
of Mrs. Dow's health. I was accompa
" nied by my two little daughters, Eliza
; beth and Rose, and in order that they
might see as much of the world as poa(
. Bible, I came the northern route, via
; Chicago. -1 did not leave home, how
ever, until after the election of Tom
C. Rye for governor Of the good old
Volunteer State, and Cordell Hull for
ccngressman from the Fourth district,
George N. Welch for railroad commis
sioner, and last but not least, Elmer L.
: Wirt vfor representative of my own
dear county of Putnam. . I have been
worried since I heard of the defeat of
my old frlemdt Proctor Pile, for senat
or, but since he had to be defeated by
: a republican, I know of no one of that
party whom I would rather have the
, place than my old friend, John Gore,
i The trip from Nashville to .Chicago

4clty at 10 a. m., Nov. 5, and as. we had
j a day In that city we began taking in
i'tre sights. Afetr visiting a few of the
big stores we proceeded to take in the
- great Lincoln Park. In this place we
saw most of the places of interest, in-
.ciuamg me too, museum', notnousee,
aviary, etc., and also climbed to the
bridge,, where we could get a good
view of Lake Michigan. We took the
' sleeper that night' over the Chicago,
, Milwaukee & St. Paul and did not
change until we arrived at the beauti
ful city of Denver. We passed the
Am 1 1 1 .1
grtnti agricultural stales oi Iowa ana
Nobraska. I think this country, for
fanning, is certainly the garden spot
of the world. It Is fertile and level as
the Dixie baseball park as far as the
eye can reach. Omaha is a beautiful
city, but as we only had an hour there,
we could not see it as we would have
liked. It is worth while, right here,
to note that the great state of Nebras
ka took great pleasure in the recent
election in endorsing her honored son,
W. J. Bryan, by giving the state a
large democratic majority.
We left Omaha at 4:15 p. m. and
next morning at 7:30 we arrived in
- Denver, whore we changed cars to the
Denver r Rio Grande for Buena Vista,
our destination. We had a daylight
trip for this 240 miles, over which is
some of the most magnificent scenery
the human eye ever beheld, among
which is Castle Rock, Pallor's Lake, a
small lake on the div'de between Den
ver and Colorado Springs, at an ele
vation or 7,200 feet. Next is Pike's
Peak and Coloradoo Springs, then Pu-
i eblo, Canon City, where the state pris
on is located, ana tne ureat Royal
Gorge of the Arkansas river, which is
nine miles long. The gorge is about
. thirty feet -wide, with bluffs on either
side over 2,000 feet high. At one place
it Is even narrower, where there is not
'room for the river and railroad both,
.and In the construction of the road
, they put steel girders across from
bluff to bluff and suspended a" steel
bridge lengthwise of the river for 200
feet, over which eo run trains. At 5
o'clock Saturday afternoon we reached
the beautiful little city of Buena Vista,
where we found onr wife and two ba
bies, accompanied by her brother and
sister, John H. and Miss Rose Owen,
at the station to meet us.
It is useless for me to say that it
was a happy meeting, after a separa
tion of fourteen months. I found my
wife much Improved, and on account
of this good climate, I hope for her
complete recovery. " The altitude Is
8,000 feet The town has a population
of 1,200. and like most of our Tennes
see towns, has one principal business
street, about a mile in length. It is
situated between Free Gold Hill, on
the north and Mt. Princeton, one of
the highest peaks of tse Rockies, on
the southwest. The base of the latter
is about fiflve miles from the town and The purpose of the Daughters of the
and the top is about fifteen miles. The Con'ederacy 'a to leave a tangible re
atmosphere is so clear it looks as if I minder of a bit of interesting, history
could go to the highest point and back in the Civil war, and any survivor of
before breakfast, but the1 people here the battle in either of the armies who
tell me that I could not possibly make
the trip on horseback in a day, so I
gue-s I will not attempt the ascension
of it while I am here.
The people here are very courteous
and sociable, and very loyal to their
city. I have met quite a number of
the professional and business men,
and especially the courthouse gang,
where I have hung out more than any
other place except at thehome of John
Owen, who holds the nosition of coun.
ty treasurer of Chaffee oounty. Among
the county officers whom I have met

They also have two large hotels, the
Boys Hotel and the Princeton," of
which Ernest Wilbur, better known an

which rank in membership in the or-

ATTACK UPON FORT SANDERS
The 29th day of the present month
will mark the fifty-first anniversary of
the attack made upon Fort Sanders by
the Confederate forces under Gen.
Longstreet. Th elocal organization
of the Daughters of the Confederacy
have arranged to have a marker erect
ed on the battlefield, and it will be un
veiled with appropriate cere,monles
on the 28th of the present month, the
29th coming this year on Sunday.
Not many of the survivors of tnat
sanguinary engagement are living In on account of sickness In Bro. Craw
this immediate vicinity, ro in this part ford's family. At this place we have
of the state. In fact there is probably
bet a remnant left of them anywhere,
who participated in the engagement
on either side. We are unable to re-
call gut a single man in Knoxville who
was there, and that is Captain Frank
A. Moses, at present, and for many
years past, ithe secretary of the Con-
fderate pension commission in Ten-
ne see. ..
Among the Tennessee regiments en-
gaged on the Confederate Bide were
the following, composing Gen. Bush-1
rod Johnson's brigade: The 63d, the
17th., the 23d, the 26th and the 44th I
Tennessee Infantry.
Gen. Lawton, of Geirgla, command-1
ed a 'division and led in the assault
upon Fort Sanders. There were regi-
ments present from Georgia, Alabama, J
Missis-ippi, and otnrs or th southern
states. No one of the Tennessee reg-1
Iments of the Union army were In the
battle, though eome of them were on
other parts of the lino of the besieged
army tinder Gen. Burnside.
The loss susained by the attacking
forces was large, that of the defend
ing force was very small, they fight
ing behind strong earth works.
One of the regiments on the Confed-
erate side was the 13th Mississippi,
originally commanded by Col. Barks-1
dale, a form r member of congress,
who wp- killed in the battle of Gettys
burg. In the assault made upon Fort
Sanders, the regiment was command
ed by Col. Alfred G. O'Brien, who as
cended the parapets at the fort and
was . captured. He was a brother of
the late Mrs. W. G. Brownlow, and an
I uncle of Col. John Bell Brownlow of
thlscity.
may see this may feel an interest in
being present when the marker is to
take its plac- on the grounds that
marked one of the interesting events
of a war which is a part of the coun
try's history, the rancor of which has
been forgotten. And those of us yet
living who lived in those eventful days
of the sixties of the last century, con-
gratulate ourse'ves that while we were
once called enemies we are now firm
friends, all of us standing by and do-
ing honor to the flag of our fathers of
the Revolutionary period, the founders
of a glorious renubllc. KnoxviUe Sen-

COOKEVILLE PRESBYTERY
A resolution was adopted by this
Presbytery at its last sitting to put
two
missionary evengelists in Its
bounds.
Rev. L. B. Crawford and I
were elected to this Important task.
My first meeting was at Banner
Springs, Fentress county. ''' I joined
Bro. Crawford at Pleasant Grove In
Jackson county. This meeting was
during the rainy week, and begun on
Sunday, Oct. 11. From here we jour
neyed to Webbtown, Macon county.
Here we held a week, and had to close
a good prospect for a C. P. church.
I returned home In Fentress county
for a week's rest, having been in the
work continually since July 10, but
entered right Into a meeting at home
for ten days and nights. After close
of same organized a Cumberland Pres.
byterian church at this place with 9
members. These are sure a live wire,
and win build right along. Any of I
thse 9 members will lead a prayer. We
have a weekly prayer meeting with a
good attendance. '
My itemized report from Oct. 1 to I
Nov. 15, 1914, is as follows:
Sermons 18; profess ions 18; prayer
In homes 24; miles traveled 255;
prayer meetings conducted 6; received
members 9; baptized 4; cash received
$20.40. '
in tne resolution referred to a re
quest was made of the churches of
Cookeville Presbytery to contribute to
Bro. Crawford and myself, but so far
we have not heard from any one of
them. Brethren, a little cas' , or corn
if it can be gotten to the railroad, I
will pay freight to Wilder. You can
deliver Rev. L. B. Crawford's corn at
Cookeville.
I leave in the morning for Shade-
land, Fentress county.

THE UNITED CHARITIES
By reason of the fact that the fac
tories of our town have either been
closed down entirely or are operating
only part of the time, and this at a
time when people should have em
ployment for full time in order to get
ready for winter, it is feared by the
United Charities that a number of peo
ple in our town and vicinity will eith
er have to be helped or else suffer. In
view of this situation the United Char
ities organization, at a regular called
session, decided to add some more
names to the soliciting and disbursing
committee, so that the committee as
it is now. composed is as follows:
Mrs. Clarence Wilson, Mrs. B. G.
Adcock, Mrs. Rutledge Smith, Mrs.
Martin Dowell, Mrs. Frank Richmond,
Mrs. Alfred Gibbs, Mrs. H. C. Martin.
All can see the wisdom in the elec-
tion of these good ladles to serve on
this committee. They represent the
different sections of the town, and
each of the several churches as well
But that which qualifies them for this
work above everything else is that
they are acquainted with the charac
ter of the work that la needed to be
done.
It is proposed that blank appllca-
It tons for help be provided, stating the
character of the need, whether cloth-
Ing, food, fuel, medicine, or whatever
It may be, and that these applicatUns
may be O. Kd by any member of this
committee, or any other member of
the organization, composed of the com
mittee, th eofficers and resident min
isters. But where any member Is not
satisfied concerning the needs of any
applicant, they may refer It to the or-
ganizatlon, or to the city marshal for
a fuller investigation. The wisdom of
the scheme 1b apparent, because who
would be more likely to know where
help should be rendered than this com
mittee and pastors of our churhes.
jn order to lighten the burdens of
this committee, which will be heavy.
enough at the best, the pastors ave al
ready agreed to aid them In any way
thev can, and the churches are ur
gently requested to also cooperate by
public contributions to the work at
stated times. .
All the citizens and business men of
the town are urged to cooperate in
this good work, and you would confer
la favor on the ladies of this commit
tee If you would hand them your con
tribution without waiting for them to
call on you.
Cut this out and paste jt up to re
mind yourself of your duty in this no-
bl Christian work.

J - We find It a convenience to sell
ui our dusiijbsb men duj up tus smau

, This facility for disposing of such articles Is a great convenience to us.
j If the local storekeepers did not buy our produce It would be difficult for ns
I to find a market. In fact, there would be no market for small quantities
I except at ruinous prices. ,
- Therefore we are favored, to a very considerable extent, by the fact
! that our local storekeeper stands ready to buy from us. This places ns under
certain obligations. The local storekeepers are entitled to some considera
tion from us In return.'
HOW MANY OF US APPRECIATE AND ACKNOWLEDGE THIS FACT?
How many of us think of this when we have some cash to spend T How
: many of us consider that the local storekeeper Is entitled to our trade and
I that we are morally bound to consider him as the proper repository for onr
orders and the recipient of our trade T
It Is regrettable that many of ns must plead guilty to an entire forgetful
, ness of any feeling of obligation. Therefore, we send onr orders, with the
icash, to the mail order houses, to whom we owe nothing,
j We are enticed by cleverly written advertisements and neatly worded
descriptions of goods and merchsndise so that we deceive ourselves Into be
lieving them to be true. We forget the local storekeeper and his favors; we
forget that he Is a benefit to the community and to every Individual In the
community; we forget that he Is affording us an opportunity to dispose of
1 our produce that he hae hie money Invested In stock of merchandise that
i he has selected because he believed we would need such articles and would:
wish te buy them at home.
Every dollar we send away from home to the mail order houses brings
U closer to the limitations of our local opportunities. Every dollar diverted
! from local trade adds to the restrictions of our trade facilities at home so
jthat we are not only permitting, but we are Inviting, our local merchants to
I close np shop and go out of business; or to move to some community where
: taeir efforts will be more appreciated.
By our tack of appreciation we are urging our local storekeepers to re
(strict their effort to carrying only the lines of merchandise that are the most
profitable for them and to cut out all goods that we caif buy In the city. We
are actually Inviting disaster.
LET US AWAKEN TO A REALIZATION OF THE CONDITION'S WHICH
j CONFRONT US. LET US PLACE SOME LIMITATIONS ON OUR DISRE
GARD FOR EXISTING CONDITIONS AND LOOK INTO THE FUTURE.
! We can see what the consequences must be If we fall to do our share
I toward supporting the establishments of our business men in town, for the
handwriting is written plainly on the wall. '
Shall we read the writing and profit by the message or shall we continue
ito dance merrily and foolbhly on until the time shall come when we must
jpay? And how shall we pay?
There will be only one way to pay and that will be with much more than
I the profit we shall have derived from our dealings with the mall order houses,
i WE WILL PAY DEARLY UNLESS WE AWAKEN TO A FULL SENSE OF
JOUR RESPONSIBILITIES, AND AT ONCE. ,
We wish to dance, but let us change the tune or the fiddler. .
DIXIE-HIGH 12 CARTHAGE O
The fastest football game of the
season was witnessed on Dixie field
Saturda, Nov. 14, when the fast Dixie
High eleven met the heavy Carthago
team for a final, decisive struggle.
The first quarter of the game was
tho hardest played of any game ever
witnessed on the local field. Dixie
High kicked off and Carthage tried in
vain to push them down the field. But
soon Dixie took the ball and wHh a
long end run, a forward pass, and a
line buck, rushed Carthage for a
touchdown, Cooper carrying the ball.
No goa. Score at end of first quar
ter, D'xie-High 6 Carthage 0.
The second quarter was also fast
and Intensely exritlng, for the Carth
age eleven was making a desperate ef
fort to force Dixie-High back, but of
no avail. Again Dixie-High received
the ball, and again rushed Carthage
off their .feet for another touchdown.
Lansden crossing Carthage's goal line.
No goal. The second quarter ended
with the score standing 12 0 in Dixie
High's favor.
The third and fourth quarters were
ones of stubborn defense and offense,
but d'd not add to the score of eitner
team, and the game ended with Dixie
High th3 winners. Scoro 12 0.
The entire Dixie-High team played
a starr gume, and ended ..he eoason in

MONTEREY R. 2
Dear Editor: I wonder if a few
lines from this place would be per
missible in your next issue.
We are having some real winter
days now. Last Thursday afternoon
the snow began falling and attained a
depth of about two Inches to Just a
little while, and it has been cold since.
Times are dull here at present, but
little progress, being made in many
professions of life; but whale thla.le
true a coascljng thought presents It
self to all in America who study and
realize present conditions ' of . the
world: And this thought Is that peace
stili reigns over our country, of which
wo Ime a right to bo proufi. Neor
has there been a better ' means of
teaching the ppopl to appreciate tho
blessings of peace and the terribloness
of war, than the horriblo buttles tfiat
are being fought on the continent, of
Europe. All persons pursuing a pro
fession in America that tends to the
training of minds should Impress upon
them the value of peace. As Prof.
Sh-ville of the Univorjlty of Chicago
Las said, "Tbo i-al roasonc (of war)
Ho deep dow at the very roots f our
culture." . My sincere wishes are that ,
every being of the human raco might
turn their attention to a development
of love and sympathy for each other.
Too many homes are possessed with
'te demons of gossip, tucked In some
dark corn r ' bout the hearthstono and
supported by the tongues of the un
thoughtful until they are strong. Then
they go about planting envy and strife,
which is" their only mission. But with
all the corruptness of all the, world,
God Is still permitting the glorious
sun to rise In the eastern horizon and
send Its golden rays to lrlv away the
drnso fog that hovers about the moth
er earth, darkening our pathway from
time to time. Then as it paasses to
the distant west, tinting the azure as
It scales the summit of the stone-cap
ped mountains. It leaves a shadowy al
ienee, in which we may rest our tired
bodies from the tolls of th day and
our care-worn minds from the un
thoughtful in all quarters of the world.
Mr. Walter Copeland and Miss Pau
line France, of near Union Point de
cided that without each could share
the other's sorrows and Joys life was :
not worth while, so they embarked on
the wide sea of matrimony Thursday
afternoon. Hope their lives may be
long and happy.
Three cheers for the democrats.
Taey have fought a good fight, they
have kept the faith, now crown of de
mocracy Is the result of their strag
gles and is a new addition to our list
of thing to be thankful for. Thi com.
