The act of Congress giving Tennessee
an additional member of Congress ne
cessitates a redistrictina Of the State. /
bill has been introduced iRto the LegisIa-

for our Legislators to deal fairly with the
important subject and not manipulate the
boundaries into political engines of OPP
preston. Throw the counties together
in as compact and Convenient a manner
as possible and let political trickary 90 to
