OUR PRESIDENTIAL ELECTOR

As has already been announced the
Hon. F. S. Singletary is the regularly
constituted Elector on the Grant ticket
from this Congressional District. Mr..
Singletary is a young lawyer of ackrowl-
edged ability, a fluent speaker, and well
posted on the political issues of the day.
We sympathize with the Elector on the
opposite side, and advise him to give MIR.
Singlctary a wide berth, otherwise he
may count on a most complete skinning
whenever he comes in contact with the
Republican stand~ard-bearcr.
We trust our Republican friends will
give Mr.. SiBgletary all the encourage
ment in their power as he has undertaken
an arduous and expensive canvass with
out the hope of fee or reward. The po-
81 ton of Presidential Elector is at best
an unenviable one. 1t simply means haro
work and plenty of it for a number of
months, and for such service tie party is
rs a general thing but too slow in making
the deserved and we'll earned acknowl>
edgements. Let us therefore see that Mr..
Singletary has a warm, hearty and enthr-
siastic support in his labors for the COM
mon good.

EDIToRs HERALD AND TRIB UNE:
How often have 1 remarked, and now
repeat the assertion, that there are few
questions in which the farmers of East
Tennessee are more directly interested
than in the Eastern Division Fair. To
them this is a most vital question.
l am sorry they cannot, many OF them,
at least, view the matter as l do. If
they would take hold of it vigorously,
warmly, and stoutly in a few years they
would realize the valuable effects of such
a course. They would be stimulated to
holder and more enlarged exertions and
strive harder and more persistently to
improve their mode Of farming and to
have the better races Of anlmtls. Now
we expect to have an unprecedented fine
Fair this Fall,-commencing on Monday
the 18th day of October and continuing
six days. To make it thus everybody
must do his duty-must come to the Fair
and bring something to exhibit. Many
will say ''there is no use in our taking
anythlng-we have nothing fine. and
therefore can't get premiums" Now that
is all wrong, wrong in every possible as
pect of the case, and should not be felt or
said. Suppose every Que thus talked of
and felt, what sort of a fair would we
have? 1t would ruin it. Every farmer
and every farmers wife and daughter in
East Tennessee should feel under special
obligations to have something on exbibi-
bition. 1t will have an excellent effect.
1t will stimulate others; it will increase
the articles to be exhibited and intensity
the interest of the occasion.
Some complain that It costs Thorn too
much to attend the Fair. That depends
upon how you intend to spend your time.
You nag make it very expensive, or you
may get along spending but little. There
are hundreds who could "club together"
and come in wagons. The Fair Grounds
are large and here they could camp.
Plenty of good water convenient and the
stock perfectly safe. Let this plan be
adopted by those who desire it and they
will find it a cheap one.

Pa,ron,s Life Of Greeley.

This is one of the most notable books
of the times, and decidedly one of the best
written and remarkably interesting OF
American biographies. We do not pre-
pose to review it from a political stands
point, for it is not des gned as a mere
campaign book, but a work of standard
value, from the pen of a writer of cstab-
lished reputation, whose biographies OF a
eminent Americans, are well known and
highly valued. Mr.. PATRONS writings
are all attractive on account OF the care he
exercises in collecting incidents, and the
ingenuity with which he weaves them into
the story of a life, to relieve the tedium OF
dry facts and monotinous narration.
Such a work cannot be reviewed in the
compass Of an ordinary book notice, and 1t
is therefore best to simply inform the
yeader. that it was commenced several
wears ago, before MIR. GREELEY was
thought of as a presidential Candidate ana
faitbfnlly written az one volume IN the
series of PARToN biographies, simply for
its general interest and intimate connection
with the history of the country. for near
half century, Commencing with his birth
and following him through all the vicissi-
tuscs Of early years of trial and adversely,

can majority, and there is no good reason
why we cannot send a man to the State
Senate who is in full sympathy with the
Union clement in this section. Let US go
to work at once and elect him by such a
majority as will forever discourage the
Democracy from attempting to again get
control of the District.

throughout. The ticket holder loses
nothing whatever by giving So 20 for a

EDITORS HERALD AND
DEAR Observation-Disclosures ing there
is a great int erest manifested Throughout
our country in the cause of Education.
there are yet a great many people who re-
main blind to their interest in this re-
spect.
We see a great many young men with
gold rings on their fingers, and dressed IN
the costliest attire, who are totally litter
ate. They cannot converse intelligently
upon any subject. They have no infor-
nation, and what is worse thcy are not
trying to inform themselves.
Would it not be better, by far, if they
would spend their money in developing
and ornamenting their minds, which are
to live forever. than to lavish it upon
their bodies which must soon wither and
die. as the grass beneath our feet?
Many parents allow their children to
spend their time in idleness and folly,
instead of sending them to school. If
YOU talk to them upon the subject they
will saw they are unable to send them,"
or ..the children don't want to 60. and 1t
is useless to compel them to 60, for they
won't learn anything"
This argument is a mere excuse. The
fault IS not in the children but in their
parents. If they would compel them to
90 for a while, they would cultivate a
taste for study, and become convinced
that the school room is not as dreary as
they imagined.
But they will not do this. They allow
them to grow up not to be men, blu
ounces. In this, ignorance is a crime
and the parents are the ones to whom the
guilt may be imputed.
Gentlemen, what can be done to con
vince them of their error, and move them
to the discharge of their duty? Please
answer my query. ,n,n

not .nsensible of the honor your Conven-

While I would have been much graft

cause, / nevertheless recognize the right
of my fellow-citizens to demand OF me
apy reasonable personal sacrifice for the
good of our country.
1t is always best to be candid, and as l
do not wish to deceive those you represent
| will here say that those who nominated
me must have known that during the late
civil war / was an unfiching friend of the
government of the United States,and that

1t must also have been known to your
Convention that, as / was sincerely and

and now am, equally opposed to the new

While I have never been a partisan.
I am free to confess that all my sympa-

and perpetuate the union of these States
by preserving the Constitution, which is
the bond of union. And above all, do /
sympathize with those who desire to for

Believing that 1 can honestly maintain
your principles before my countrymen, l.

responsibilities you have laid upon me.

story is said to be properly authenticated
it will Go to tell, just once:
st seems that the Sage attended the
Minnesota State Fair, and was presented
with a very ripe prize tomato. weighing
three pounds, which he wrapped in his red
silk handkerchief, and placed it in his
coat tail pocket. He then walked around
for awhile, sitting on various benches, and
then riding in a lumber wagon up town.
When he got to the hotel the crowd called
upon him for a speech. He went on the
porch and felt for bis handkerchief to
wipe his brow. When he inserted his
had in his pocket a thought seemed to
strike him. He grew red in the face ;
he looked mad ; he turned away and went
to his room to think up some suitable
language in which to express his feel
ings."

LONELINESS on the Increase!

LovclincSS On the IMcfcaSc.-A
marked increase of female loveliness is
the eye-delighting result of the immense
popularity which HAGAN's MAGNOLIA
BALM has obtained among the ladies of
America. Compilations radiant with
snowy purity and tinged with the roseate
hue of health are commonly met with
whenever it is used. For the sallow and
unwholsome appearance of the face and
neck, which utterly counterbalanees the
effect of any personal attraction the owner
may possess, it..substitutes that clear. pearl
like csmplexion which is such a transen-
dant charm in woman and, renders the
toughest skin as soft as Genoa velvet. No
one is more astonished than the person
useing it at the marvellous transformation
which it affects in these particulars.
