The felling of one of tbe most magnlllcent poplar trees ever cut In 

 this section Is reported from White county. The tree was cut on the- 

 land of the Cumberland Lumber Company, near .Sparta. The tree was 

 seven and one-half feet at the stump, ninety feet lo the first limb and 

 live feet In diameter nt the llrst limb. It was located In nn almost 

 Inaccessible gorge, one and one-half miles from the company's mill. 

 It Is estimated that the tree will net 22.000 feet of lumber of the 

 value of about $1,000. .\ Cincinnati company contracted for the lumber 

 Irom the tree, much of which will consist of bo:iids four feet wide. 



The plant of the Standard Furniture Company has closed down for the 

 annual stock taking and renovating of tlie plant. This company Is 

 "ivned by the same men as the Davidson, Green & Ilicks Company, one 

 of the largest hardwood lumber concerns of Nasbvllle. W. V. Davidson 

 l"ing president of both companies. Members of the company report a 

 splendid business (he past year, the company having shown sulistantlnl 

 ;:rowth. 



The spoke factory of N. C. Blanchard at Ilarrlman. Tenn.. was 

 ilestro.ved by Are. causing n loss of JIO.OOO. which Is partly covered by 

 insurance. The plant employed about forty men. and usually carried a 

 stock of finished and raw material amounting (o about $100,000, but a 

 large part of stock on hand was saved. 



Reports from Johnson City, Tenn., say that fire on liiilTalo and Chero- 

 kee mountains has wrought much damage to hardwood timbers. The 

 tire Is supposed to have been of Incendiary origin. Rains later extin- 

 guished the fire. Heavy losses have bei-n reported In other sections of 

 east Tcnnes.sec by forest fires. The dry weather of the summer has been 

 favorable for great devastation. 



General business In Nashville holds up well. Bank clearings for June 

 amounted to J24,671,5-15, compared with .«24.5C4,307 In .Tune, 1913. Con- 

 sidering general business conditions of the country, this would indicate 

 a fine showing for Nashville.
