Pr1nters' Devils,

Miss Piney W. Forsythe, who is a
practical printer herself, has the following
happy and appropriate notice of so-callod
printers devils
great many persons are in the habit
of looking upon, and speaking Of, printers
devils in q manner that reflects no credit
upon themselves. Those eame printers, in
nine cases ont of ten, are three times as
we'll posted on the issues of the day as
the persons who speak of them. There is
no class of boys for whom We have a more
profound respect than we'll behaved prin-
ters' devils. They know something, and
are practical, which is more than you can
say of oil classes of boys. In that respect
we place the boys who work in printing
office head and shoulders above most other
boys. Young woman, before you again
elevate, get some one who knows some
thing of history to tell you the men of
some character that were once printers
devils.

THE ENTERPRISE.
sWEETWATER, THURSDAY, SEPT, /, 1870.
County Convention,

In accordance with the wish of a large
number of the Conservatives and Demo
Gratis of Monroe county Convention will
be held at Madisonville on Monday the
5th day of September. The business re-
quiring attention will be as follows:
|. To organize County Executive
Committee.
2. To nominate a candidate for the
Lower House of the State Legislature
8. 10 appoint delegates to the Con-
gresSional District Convention.
4. To appoint delegates to the State
Convention which is to meet at Nashville
on the 18th of September for the purpose
of nominating candidate for Governor
of the State of Tennessee.
5. To appoint delegates to a Senatorial
Convention, if one should be held, to nom-
mate a candidate for the State Senate,
The several districts in the county are
requested to send delegates to the County
Convention-one for every twenty-five
voters in each district. 1t is very impor-
tant that this should be attended to in
time, as all delegates will be required to
have the proper credentials.
Every young man and every old man
in the country, opposed to Radcalism,
should take a deep interest in the thor
ough organization of our forces, for we all
know how necessary it is to have unity of
action in opposition to any great evil.
Let those who feel such an interest not
fail to see that their districts are properly
represented on the 5th proximo.

Congressional Convention,

After consultation with Col. Blizzard
and Col. D. NJ. Nelson, candidates for
Congress, as a member of the State Exc
cutive Conservative Democrat Committee
of Tennessee, it becomes my duty to call
a convention to nominate candidate for
Congress in this, the I'd district. There
fore, 1 recommend that the people of the
several counties of the district, on the lst
Monday of September next, appoint good
and true men as delegates to said conven-
tion, and to meet in Knoxville on the fol-
lowing Saturday, the 10th day of the
month, and select a suitable candidate
to represent the people in the next Unit
ed States Congress.

The Issue Illustrated.

Two old friends met few days ago,
and we're about taking friendly glass in
memory Of better days, when the follow
ing conversation took place
"Well, Dick, hear you are a Demo-
crat; can it be true :"
"Well, Tom, am afraid | will have to
plead guilty to the charge" ri
81 never would have believed it. You
and l were old Wings and have fought
the Democrats for thirty years, and now
for you to knock under and join them
looks curious enough"
eyes, Tom, it does look little curious
but it is only curious in looks. I can't
see where / and the Democrats disagree
in anything, and why should we be ene-
mics when it will take US all to save the
eountry9 The truth is, Tom, I've cast
the whole matter up in my mind and have
come to the conclusion that man must
now be one Of three things; Radical, ii
Democrat, or a D-d Fool.-Sayannah
Republican.

A Wise Old Darky,

The Courier-Journal says: A wise old
darky in the Southern part of Kentucky
came to his old master the day before the
late election, and said he: "Mars John
wants to vote de Democratic ticket. The
fac is, think de niggers ought to split
up anyhow. If we goes an votes Demo-
crat, the Radicals say we is ungrateful,
and then the League fines us five dollars
an warns us. If we votes Radical, de
Kuklux'll git us shore. I wants to divide
like, so as 10 make it de intrust of boff
parties to treat US kind and friendly"
That darky is statesman and a philoso-
pher. His head is emphatically 'Elevel."

How to Fall Asieeu.

] turn my eyeballs as far to the right,
or to the left, or upward, or downward, as
possible without pain, and then commence
rolling them slowly, with that divergence
from direct line of vision, around their
sockets, and continue this until I falt
asleep-which occurs generally within
three minutes always within FIVE at most.
It not merely diverts thought into d new
channel, but actually suspends it. Since
| became aware Of this | have endeAvored
innumerable times, while rolling my eyes,
to think upon a particular subject, and
even upon that which kept me awake, but
l could not. As long as they were moving
around my mind was blank. If any one
doubts this let him try it for himself.

Butler.

We clip the following from the Union
and American.
Noticing the arrest of Roderick Random
Butler on the charge of forgery, preferred
by the pension bureau, and that he is to
appear before Judge Trigg for examina-
tion, the Cincinnati Chronicle (Radical)
says:
'Ten chances to one he will persuade
the whole community thereabouts that he
is victim of the prosecutions of his rivals
and enemies, and be let off without the
trouble of trial"
The Chronicle entertains pretty high
estimate of Roderick's shrewdness. Well
Roderick is sharp, or he would have been
caught before now.

Mississippi,

Mississippi is one Of the worst govern
ed States in the Union. 1t is intensely
niger, intensely Alcorn and, of course,
Intensely radical. 1t is reported that the
white Lieutenant-Governor and the black
Secretary of State of Mississippi are black
mailing all the county officers recently
appointed by Governor Alcorn. They
are sending out circulars demanding from
each appointee five dellars to keep up the
Republican party. The old adage that
"those who dance must pay the fiddler"
is being verified in the case of Radical
clerks and office-holders in the State as
we'll as National Government.
