TO COME BACK TO MAIN STREET

A distinguished former resident is to come back to Main Street within the new few days in the person of Senator Newell Sanders, for years a leading citizen of Chattanooga, Tenn.

The senator will be accompanied by his wife who was Miss Corine Dodds, and 50 years ago they graduated from Indiana University. They return for their class reunion but especially to see the old home folks as both were born here-Mrs. Sanders, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. F. Dodds, and the senator was raised west of town. After graduation he was in business for a time on the west side of the square, but about 1874 he went to Chattanooga and engaged in the plow-making business, an enterprise that grew until it is now one of the leading industries of the south, and Mr. Sanders has long been one of the wealthy and influential men of that section. He has a beautiful home and is connected with all civic and welfare matters for the good of his adopted city.

Mr. Sanders was a Republican when he lived in Indiana and. different from many who go south, he did not change his politics, and for many years he has been a leading Republican of Tennessee. He has served as party chairman of the state and has been a delegate to many national conventions. A few years ago there was a vacancy in the office of the United States senator, and he was appointed to the position by a Republican governor. When up for re-election, the state went Democratic, and he was defeated with the Republican ticket. For years he has been the controlling factor in Republican policies of the state.

Senator Sanders, besides his business, has three heart interests-the Baptist church, the Republican party and prohibition, and he devotes his time and money to the success of each. He is a leader of the dry movement in Tennessee and is said to be the largest contributor to the Baptist church in the state.

Senator Sanders will be here Thursday to give an address before the University Law School and will be the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Miller, Mrs. Clarence Miller being a sister of Mrs. Sanders. Mrs. Sanders is also a sister of William J. Dodds and Morton Dodds and a sister-in-law of Mrs. S.C. Dodds.

The senator comes for the Law School exercises to remains over night but with Mrs. Sanders returns for commencement week.

Mrs. Frank Lampkins, Mrs. W. J. Dodds, Mrs. S. C. Dodds and Mrs. D. C. Miller, left this afternoon for Chattanooga, Tenn., to attend the funeral of Mrs. Newell Sanders, age 77, a former Bloomington resident and member of one of the pioneer families of this city. Death occurred this morning.

Mrs. Sanders was the daughter of C. F. Dodds, the second mayor of Bloomington who held that office consecutively for 20 or 25 years. Her husband, while they resided in this city, owned and operated a book store on the west side of the square. After they moved to Tennessee, Mr. Sanders was very successful in his business ventures and is now said to be worth four or five million dollars. He was at one time U. S. Republican senator from Tennessee. The town of Sanders in this county was laid out by him.

The deceased is survived by three daughters, Mrs. Anderson, Mrs. Walter White and Mrs. Pansy Allison, all of Chattanooga; another daughter and two sons, Rundell and Sherman, died some time ago. The late Samuel Dodds, prominent banker of Bloomington, and W. J. Dodds were brothers; another brother, Andrew J. Dodds, lives in the Tennessee city. Morton C. Dodds, a brother, Mrs. Lampkins and Mrs. Miller, sisters, are residents of this city.
