LOOKING BACK: A weekly historical news feature

1903 September

+Ed Bandy has been doing blacksmith work at Waldensia. He is loud in his praise of the treatment received at the hands of those in charge of the company work there.

+The bark hauling is about over and tie and stave wagons have taken the place of the tan bark hauler.

+A.A. Millard was over from Crab Orchard last week. He has been considering the question of moving to the county seat. His many friends here would welcome him and his estimable wife with a glad hand.



1929 September

+Cumberland County High School has the largest attendance ever on record. More than 140 pupils and more expected. The increase has been largely due to the running of busses hauling the pupils from various points on six routes.

+The death trap of the Tennessee Central Railroad on the east side of town claimed three more victims as passenger train No. 1 westbound crashed into a Ford coupe killing Mrs. Laura Elmore, age 21 and her two children, 9 month-old baby girl and 3-year-old boy. This makes the second disaster and brings the dead to eight.

+The work of putting iron furnace slag on the road from town leading to Lantana is underway. No road in the county needs it worse nor does any deserve it more.



1993 September

+Speaking to the County Commission a solid waste consultant with the UT County Technical Advisory Service, warned, “Your landfill has approximately 18 more months and then it has got to close.”

He added the county is going to have to face raising fees soon. New requirements are very expensive but solid waste management is the key to the cost of a landfill.

+TAD, the Teens Against Drugs Center is expanding their hours to better serve the large number of students attending the facility. The age groups are divided. Students in eighth grade and up Monday and Wednesday and students in second through seventh on Tuesday and Thursday.

+“Oklahoma” ended its summer-long run at the Crossville Playhouse on September 5.
