E. O. Smithdeal of the eral funds for that part of the high . way across a corner of Jackson .county. Here in Swain we have strong as . ruranca that fwe will receive both State and Federal aid for the con struction of our part of the highway. . v The State of Tennessee proposes to aid Sevier county to the extent of 140,000 if the county will build from Sevlrville to the top of the Smoky Mountains.. It is also expected that the Federal Government . will give. ""erne financial aid to Sevies county; -Chairman Patterson of the Swain Highway Commission, says Swain county is ready to build to the top of the Mountain whenever we have as surance that Sevier county will join us on the other side with a good tour. ist road. Swain is much interested in this road and Chairman Patterson has done touch work towards getting the sections interested to come togeth er so something tangible can be work ed out, Mr. Patterson has recently received the following letter from Mr. Coble of the N. C. State High way Commission: Asheville, N. C, Nov. 9, 1917. Mr. A. S. Patterson Bryson City, N. C. Dear Mr. Patterson: " I am enclosing letter from Mr. Mur. ray, Secretary of Tennessee Highway Commission, witja reference to the meeting on the first Monday in Jan uary at Sevierville. Mr. Murray seems to think that we had better have a delegation from the counties this road will pass, and I think my- sea mat tne loea is a good one as the people of Sevier county, I under stand, will need some encouragement from the outside and outside influ ence brought to bear on them to get them to furnish funds for this road. Khe work in Haywood county on this highway is going along nicely and we have every promise of the feoad being built through to -Soco Gap. I am taking up the matter of appropriation for the road through Soco with the . Federal Government and am assured by Congressmen and Repsesentatives that we will receive their support in this project I am sorry to say that I fear, that we cant expect anything from Jackson county; they do not seem to have aay special interest m this matter. I Clyde circuit goes to Micaville in the Marion district JAMES O. ALLEN DEAD. Many people and friends will be shocked to learn of the sudden death of James O.

He leaves mother . and two . brothers end two sisters. The funeral iwill either he Thurs day or Frklay, depending on the ar rival of a married sister and the two brothers from Texas.

Hardin secretary to Congressman Weaver, re- tunned Saturday from a 15-days' bear hunt in the Smoky Mountains. They were not as successful as usual, get ting only two cubs weighing about 60 pounds each and one old one weighing about 250 pounds. They found the mast very poor this year. The early frost caught the chestnuts before ma turing and they are still in the burs on the trees. The bears were poor and reemed to rely on berries mainly for food. Thy found some snow on the north side of the range. . While there they completed a new cabin 21x30 with steel bunks to replace the on recently burned by incendiaries. There are 80 to 40 members ofthe Appals-J chian Rod and Gun Club who have' hunting privileges there so the ex- I Jesse Daniel Boone. When your daily tasks are ended And November suns have set, And when honieward you have wended, Seeking rest, and to forget Countless little old vexations Which the days have brought to you, Isn't home and relaxations Just the things to help you through? Home and loved ones here await you And will welcome your return, And combine to reinstate you; Here threre's none to frown nor spurn ; No one seeks to vex or fret you, Nor to cross you in the least; But its here they tease and pet you, And its here -they spread a feast. Books and papers here surround you, And the home fire's burning bright; While no outward things confound you; For you've shut them out of 'sight. Here you find an earthly haven Where you read and laugh and rest; And the images here, ungraven, Seem of all the world, the best. Let the world be harsh and cruel, Let its tasks be hard and long; If you'll give me home and fuel, And my evenings, and a song, I can stand the daytime worries, Though they come both thick and fast J I can weather storms and flurries If at evening they are past. But if there should be no changes, And no refuge for the night, And my mind has not some ranges And some chances for a flight, I should soon be so distracted That a mad house would be sought; But all this is counteracted In the home, when overwrought. For the homeless, I am praying; For their nights I have concern, For the heavy toll they're paying Is a monstrous big return To the froda of toil and treasure, Who are claiming night and day ... All .their strength, in fullest measure, ' ' And for poorest kind 6f pay. Home is next thing here to Heaven, For by Heaven it is blest, And like Sabbath day in seven, .It is sanctified and best. Leave your daily cares and troubles At the threshold of them both As the sun rays quit the dials At the twilight's magic growth.

DEVELOPING A CHROMIUM MINE A development in Jackson county, of which not much has been said, is the discovery of what may prove to be valuable mines of chromic iron, which when reduced can be used as a valuable constituent of steel the very thing needed in the war industry. The firm now undertaking the devel opment is S. H. Hamilton & Co. H. J. Sloan of the SloaOsPJntt Hardware of Waynesville to Bfteregted and he has been in Philadelphia a good deal of the time lately, presumably in the in terest of this undertaking. Monday, there was shipped from the Sioan Plott Hardware store a rope weighing 250 pounds besides shovels and other mining tools to Sylva, which is the nearest railroad station to the mine, being four miles from Webster. Al ready a car of the mineral has been, shipped, presumably to some smelter.
