PUBLIC AUCTION
404 ACRES
Saturday, August 28th,
at 10:00 A.AA.
Known as the Kitchen Branch Farm owned by
Mr. and Mrs. Arthur F. Myers of Tusculum.
LOCATED: 10 miles southeast of Greeneville and l mile east
of the Asheville Highway on Sherwood Forest Road in the
18th district of Greene County, Tennessee.
IMPROVEMENTS: A modern 3-bedroom dwelling and one frame
dwelling house. Barns consist of 2 tobacco barns built within the last 10
years and a new cattle barn now being completed. This large barn is of
very modern design. Also other utility farm buildings.
LAND: 150 acres of the land is in new grass and other crops, and can all
be farmed with modern machinery. This land is of the very best soil in
this entire area.
WATER: The farm land is watered by springs and two clear, unpolluted
creeks flowing out of rich mountain ; also spring-fed farm ponds "stocked
with fish" offer an abundance of clear water for livestock, irrigation, or
recreation.
TOBACCO ALLOTMENT: 4111 pounds. The buyers get half the tobacco
crop this year.
The land is under good fence, most being recently built.
MOUNTAIN LAND: The remaining land consists of approximately 250
acres in rich mountain, and adjoins the farm land on the east and is
bounded by the Cherokee National Forest. This land is wooded with every
species native to our area and contains excellent timber. The Haysville
Furnace Road goes through the east gap of this tract and continues to the
Upper Paint Creek Road leading to Viking Mountain.
The land includes most of the headwaters of Devil's Kitchen Branch
which is fed by numerous mountain springs on this property and also
includes some of the last wilderness area not owned by the federal
government in Greene County.
You will have the opportunity to buy a small tract of this land or the whole
farm.
We believe you will agree the potential of this land is very great, but the
most important feature is: the cattle and tobacco will pay for the
property with the terms we are offering.
TERMS: on real estate. One Fifth Down. Balance 1-2-3-4-5 years at 6 Pet.

MEMORY SELECTION: "Live
as free men, yet without using
your freedom as a pretext for
evil; but live as servants of
(k)d" (I Peter 2:16)
LESSON TEXT: Isaiah 5:20-23;
Amos 6:1-8; Romans 13:10-14.
As we will see from our
Biblical passages today, Isaiah
was greatly concerned about
the moral fiber of the leaders of
his beloved Judah. His voice
was constantly raised in protest
and warning, in an effort to turn
Judah from the path of national
destruction she seemed so bent
on following. The consequences
suffered by the Northern
Kingdom, Isaiah declared, was
a direct result of similar
weaknesses Judah now
evidenced corruption in high
places, injustices against the
poor, and a selfish disregard of
responsibility towards the
people in general.... all evils
fostered by intemperance and
worship of creature comforts, to
the exclusion of God's com
mands. Today, as a modern nation,
we tend to pride ourselves on
being more circumspect and
enlightened than the nations 61
Biblical times. ..yet the
"cocktail hour" is almost a
national institution among
people in all walks of life!
It is hard to see how anybody
who regards himself as a true
Qiristian can reconcile the
consumption of alcoholic
beverages with the Christian
concept. It is equally hard to
understand how he who in
dulges can regard himself as an
enlightened and dedicated
individual with the interest of
society at heart! For cold, hard
statistics prove that drinking
drivers account for more than
half ot he 50,000 annual traffic
deaths on the nation's high
ways! Yet these same people,
who, through indulgence, turn
their automobiles into lethal
weapons, would consider
themselves to be public spirited
if they evidenced concern over
the health hazards of smoking
and air pollution!
Another cold, hard statistic is
the effect of alcoholism on the
nation's economy. Absenteeism
caused by drinking, on the job
and off, costs the nation's in
dustrial complex four billion
dollars annually! To say
nothing of safety hazards on-the-job!
When one takes into account
the fact that alcoholism ranks
second as a cause of suicide in
the United States, the im
plications of these statistics are,
indeed, staggering! Translated
into human misery, one can
only conclude that drinking is
never merely a personal con
cern. There is a moral hazard in
volved in intemperance. One
has only to read a newspaper
today to be appalled by report
after report of robberies,
beatings, and even killings; how
much of this is directly
traceable to the consumption of
beverage alcohol can never be
adequately estimated. One
thing is certain, however, and
that is that alcoholic beverages
too often deaden the conscience
and warp moral judgments. The
only way to avoid such dangers
is to resolve not to indulge at
all. ...and then seek God'r help
in honoring that commitment!
