' THE BEND OF THE
TENNESSEE RIVER
I will sing you a song, though it
Isn't very long;
Of the bend of the Little Ten
nessee River.
The river runs north, about
three one half miles, then
west about the same;
Forming the bend of the Ten
nessee River.
Dear old Franklin, the gem of
the mountain cities;
Just above the bend of the
Little Tennessee River.
It was there I was born, Janu
ary 4, 1866 morn;
In the bend of the Tennessee
River.
Kelghbors: Cunninghams,
Hursts, Cabes, McDowells,
Grlbbles and Halls;
In the bend of the Tennessee
River.
There father and mother, one
sister, five brothers;
In the bend of the Tennessee
River.
There was love, peace and joy,
in that little country home;
In the bend of the Tennessee
River.
There was prayer and praise, In
those glorious days;
In the bend of the Tennessee
River.
Charles, Frank and Ebenezer,
going with the gospel mes
sage;
From that home by the Ten
nessee River.
James best of us all, spent his
last days;
In the home in the bend of
the River.
Baby ? Samuel Burton, went
west from the home;
In the bend of the Tennessee
River. - - i?w
We are going one by one, more
than half of us are gone;
From that home in the bend of
the river.
"What a meeting that will be!
Over by the crystal sea;
From that home by the Ten
nessee River.

Injured In the fight.
Refuses Aid
Following the shooting, Wood
went to Hamp Owenby's Store,
where Clell Myers offered to
drive him to the hospital. On
the stand, Mr. Myers said his
offer was refused. He also tes
tified that Wood asked if he
had a gun. Mr. Myers said he
ordered Wood out when he
made advances to his wife, who
has been ill since having a
baby. He said Wood threaten
ed to "come back tomorrow
and see how tough you are." -
Denies Being Drunk
Taking the witness stand,
Wood said he had been drink
ing, but denied he was drunk.
He described Mrs. Passmore as
"who I thought was the best
friend I had in the country".
He said he "went all to
pieces" after being shot and re
members nothing.
Wood blamed shots of drugs
he received at the hospital for
his "addled" condition.
Highway Patrolman H. T.
Ferguson said he arrested Wood
at the Andrews hospital about
10 that night and that he was
"under the influence of some
thing". The officer acknowledg
ed that the shots the injured
man received might have af
fected him, but that he smelled
the odor of whiskey on his
breath.
No. 2
Macon County as offering a
good future for young people,
and they feel It Is time to put
some emphasis on the positive
side.
Besides, they feel, nobody
really knows what opportunities
are here, and this is one way
to find out what some of them
are.
The rules of the contest are
simple:
1. It is open to all students
attending Macon County's three
high schools.
2. All entries must be in or
postmarked not later than mid
night, May 1. They should be
delivered or mailed to Robert
C. (Bob) Carpenter, Franklin,
the Jaycee representative.
3. All essays must be written
in ink, on one side of the
paper only; and the following
information must be written at
the top of the first page: The
contestant's name, age, and
school, and the name and ad
dress of his parents. (This
information will be clipped off
the page before the entry goes
to the judges, and the entry
given a number. Thus the
judges wjll not know the iden
tity of any contestant.i
4. There is no limit on length
of essays. A contestant may
write as much or as little as he
thinks necessary and desirable.
It is suggested, though, that,
generally speaking, a short pa
per ? of not more than 750 or
1,000, words ? tells its story
better than a very long one.
In selecting the winners, the
judges will be asked to consid
er chiefly the research, the
] thought, and the originality put
I into the essays, with such
j things as writing and spelling ;

Coincidence
| Vs Esteses
Coincident seems to be the
role rather than the excep
tion in the Lloyd Estes fam
ily.
To start with, Mr. and Mrs.
Estes, whose address is Frank
lin, Route 5, have the sane
birth (Jay ? January 31. (Mr.
Estes thinks he's luckier than
most husbands; his own birth
day reminds him of his
wife's.)
Next, their mothers ? Mrs.
Elisabeth Estes and Mrs. Elis
abeth Sholtz, hare the same
riven names.
Finally, the initials of Mr.
Estes, whose fnll name is
Lloyd Edward Estes, spell out
his wife's second given name
of Lee.
What the next coincidence
will be the Estes don't know,
but whatever it is, they'll
hardly be surprised, in view of
the record to date.
