Funeral services were conducted here last Sunday afternoon for Corporal Hubert L. Moore, formerly of co. H, 7th Infantry, who made the Great Sacrifice oversees, and it was fitting that a great concourse of his friends and fellow-citizens should pay their last tribute to another hearo of the Great War.

The Franklin Graded School Board met on Thursday, June 8th, and opened bids for the construction of the school building, for which a bond issue of $50,000 was voted by the citizens of the school district a few months ago. Only two bids were submitted to the board, one by Mr. Zeb Conley of Franklin and the other by Geo. A. Clayton & Co., building contractors of Atlanta, Ga. The bid of the Clayton Company for the building, not including the heating or plumbing, was $43,422. Mr. Conley’s bid was only $78 higher, his figures being $43,500. The contract was therefore awarded to the Atlanta concern.

A quiet marriage took place at the home of Mr. and Mrs. D.S. Russell Wednesday morning, June 14th, at 9 o’clock. Mr. C.S. Johnson and Miss Maud Russell were the contracting parties, Rev. L.B. Smith officiating.
The Andrews Tanning Extract Co. resumed operations a day or so ago. This industry gives employment to a large number of men in their extensive plant at Andrews, and the starting up of this plant will open up the market for thousands of cords of acid wood, thereby giving employment to all the men that want work. In addition to the resumption of this valuable industry, we are advised that the Cherokee Operating Co., The Southern Iron Mining Co., and Heaton and Russell have all resumed shipments of iron ore, after a shutdown for more than 18 months.
