LOOKING BACK: A weekly historical news feature

By Dorothy Brush / dcb1@frontier.net

August 1903

+Letter to the Editor — Thirteen to fourteen years ago the Cooley brothers, then editors of your paper, denounced the use of Crossville streets for stock breeding. What reform has been made? Let the nightly bedlam of cow bells and bellowing and the unctuous grunts of omnipresent hogs answer. Is Crossville going to be a stock yard for another fifteen years? Signed, Transient

+Editor’s reply — The above meets with the approval of many of our citizens. Owing to the necessity of allowing freedom to cattle that feed on the range it is impractical to shut them out but the hogs that roam the streets at will and scatter fleas in super abundance could be dispensed with at little cost to anyone and greatly to the comfort of many.

+Creston — Joe Cox had a good horse killed by a train last week.

August 1929

+Daddy’s Creek — Some of the neighbors gathered at the Stansbury home last week and covered and worked on Mr, Stansbury’s new barn.

+Sheriff B.C. Farmer arrested six boys in a box car in Crossville. The marshal from Monterey came and took three of them back with him. They were wanted on a charge of having robbed a jewelry store there.

+L.A. Ford was up from Grassy Cove. He reports crops in that beautiful little valley are looking unusually well even though the bean bugs are bad.

August 1993

+The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency announced the discovery of what may be the first truly documented golden eagle nest in Tennessee and possibly in the southeast. A wildlife officer and a ranger with the U.S. Corps of Engineers discovered the nest on a steep bluff overlooking a lake in middle Tennessee. In 1902, 1936 and 1940 there were undocumented reports but this one in Jackson County has been observed for the past two or three years. The nesting site was found in the fall and they returned the next spring and found two young golden eagles there.

+Steve Norris, area meteorologist, was recently recognized for his outstanding service and contributions to the citizens of Cumberland County during the Blizzard of ’93. He was presented a certificate of honor by the county.
