day. l might assign twenty just such
reasons, but it is unnecessary. The
Wrought Iron Wagon is no longer
an experiment, it is success. Every
farmer and common laboIer in the
country knows the value of iron, and
the tendency of all the valuable inn
provements of the age, is toward
Iron and Steel.
Enquirer" says the people un-
derstand wooden wagons and they will
meet their demands. Yes, because
they have never had anything better,
and when they want to do heavy
hauling they have their wagons
heavily ironed. Now, what is the
Improvement in the iron wagon !?
Why, simply we have the iron hub,
wrought iron spokes, wrought iron
felloes, holsters and hounds. We
have tried iron axles, iron tire, iron
hub bands, iron boxing and all man.
ner of iron bracing, and know they
are good. Then why not adopt the
iron felloe, hub, DC. We know they
are much stronger and more durable
than wood, the mechanism is better
and then there is no contraction of
one and expansion of the other, let
ting the whole construction fall to
| pieces.
Now, | have to say to the people OF
GAINESVILLE and Montgomery county,
if you listen to such subterfuge and
clap-trap as ST inquirer" has produced
you will lose the best enterprise ever
offered to any people, one that will
NOT only add to and build up the in
dustry of the town and surrounding
country, and bring immense trade,
bat actually pay handsome profit
on every dollar of the investment.
Not long ago the city of GAINESVILLE
donated over $50, 600 to a good en-
terprise, but will not bring half SO
much prosperity as the wrought iron
wagon works, which only asks fol-
the loan of that much at 6 per cent.
interest and premium of 30 pei
cent. on the money. And better still,
the people in the adjoining counties
are willing to lend liberal helping
hand when Montgomery does her
part. Will our people do it, let us
lose no time. Let those who read
this consider how much they would
be willing to give, rather than this
enterprise should fail, and lend just
that much on the terms proposed,
and it will be a success, and don't
wait either for me to call on you, but
send me a postal card or give your
name to some one soliciting subscrip
tions. No money will be called for
until enough is subscribed.
Respectfully,

and We can't use it-Friend Martin, We
do not wish to use it,; it is not In our
line; we have seen many patents that We
would not use, if VIC could. As TO the
wagons being taken to smith s shop.
in a secluded part of the city and
worked upon in the night, we will be
honest in this, as in our whole article,
by saying We may have been misin-
formed, and will state nothing untrue,
if We know it. Our information was
derived from one whom we thought re-
liable, but will take the word of Mr..
Whitfield aud Mr.. Boilin. The for
mer we know well and will take his
word for what he did TO the wagon, or
anything else he may say he did, and
no reason to think otherwise of Mr..
Boilin though being one ofthe Alder
men elect, does not make his word any
better than blacksmith Boilin S. We
hope this explanation will be satisfac-
tory, for if we stated anything not cor
rect, it was because we were wrongly
informed. As to the new wheels sent
for, We adopt the excuse of Mr.. Ball,
believing him to be gentleman. Such
things may happen to any one, but,
were we to send out thing as a test
would first be very sure i. was all right
-as the case in point, we do not think
the test very remarkable-nor is it
strange that the iron wagon carried
the forty kegs OF nails over the
/ streets travelled. 1t is hard to tell
how much wagon will bear when
carefully driven on q road firm and
level enough to throw upon each wheel
its due proportion ofthe weight As to
| the testimony Of the seven teamsters,
we have it from as good a citizen as
is in Montgomery county, and if We
have wronged you here, we plead the
same excuse as that given-that the
wrong was not intentional. AS to the
certificates published, we have moth
in to say, believing the gentlemen to
/ be what is claimed for them, and hope
the wagon is all that is claimed for it
A few words about the factory and We
are done. What does Mr.. Ingram
claim for it? That it is a monopoly
and as such, will it benefit the eommu
nifty? We think not. We have al.
ways been taught that competition is
the life of trade But what have our
farmers been contending against for
the last two or three years? Is it not
against mOnopolies? Yet, friend Ing
ram wants to create a monopoly. We
\ thought we were through. but not
quite. Friend Ingram says he knows
nothing of the several iron wheels we
have mentioned, but supposes they
have gone the way of our balance
wheels We know not 10 what bal
lance wheel he alludes, but we say
with Mr. Boilin, roll on with your

We clip the subjoined extract from
the Waverly Journal, of 9th inst, in
reference to the death of the son of
one of our former esteemed fellow
countymen:
Garter T. son of our venerable and

S. Allen, died this morning at half
past eight clock, of congestion of the
lungs. He was born on the 18th Of
March. 1899, in Montgomery county.
near GAINESVILLE, Tenn. His illness
was brief aud painful, and in his death
the community loses a kind hearted,
sociable, accommodating citizen, and
faithful friend. The aged and grief
bowed father has the entire sympathy
of our people in his sad bereavement,
the death of his only child. May he
rest in peace by his mother side. long
since in her quiet grave, and final y

sometimes kindle the soul, when the

guing that the result of the election is

THE muddle in Arkansas originated
in this way: A regularly constituted
/ Convention met there last summer
and framed a new constitution, under
which Garland was elected Governor
the constitution having been ratified by
1000 majority. Smith however claims
that the new constitution is bogus, and
that he isGovernor under the superced.
ed organic law. Under this plea he
demands of the firm of Grant &
Williams a sufficient federal force to
remove Garland and place himself in
the Gubernatorial chair. If this i'm
pudent demand is granted, it will be-
come manifest that the people-none
too soon-have taken steps to remove
the usurper from the position he dis.
graces.
In Louisiana, the hope Of the Radi-
Gals, for multiplying the will of the ma
jority, lies in the returning Board
which is expected to count out the Con-
sentative Congressman elect, and put
Radicals in their places. But this
trick will not win, because the Demo
cratic majority in the next Congress
will have control of any bogus contest
founded upon such palpable frauds.
This is the true condition of the polit-
ical troubles in those two States. In
the first, Grant, Williams e. Mosby
may give trouble by armed interven-
ton. But in Louisiana. there is no
such danger because kellogg is the
bayonet Governor already, and the
election trouble is to be settled By
the incoming Congress.

leaders in that body charge it to
Grants foolish desire for third term.
Both are right, they are mutually Grim

as it may it promises to be beautiful
opening for a wider breach, and that
between the Executive and those prom
inent Radicals who are anxious to fill
the position which, he is resolved

is inflated with that sort Of vanity

of his balance rheel, since they have

OF course Enquirer" is no cold
fogy" no one has accused him, but
then he is not in favor of taking hold
of anything new until other people
fully develop it, and reap all the
profits. He wouldn't have an iron
wagon on the evidence of all the
mechanics in the country would
rather listen to the evidence of sersn
teamasters and wait till neighbor Jones
tried one twenty years. doubt if
the writer is vet satisfied with the
reaper invention. But "why not
make wooden wagons? ?" the gentle
man enquiries. Oh yes, / remember
now a proposition to change NV
tactics and get up a factory for wood
en- wagons. Now | will give some
objections. First, the iron wagon is
the best. stronger, more durable,
and less subject to repairs. For
wooden wagons, it requires too much
capital to come in competition with
large Eastern factories that are food
ing the country with low priced shod-
dy wagons. Paint will make an in
ferior wagon look as well as good
one.
The iron wagon will have no COM
petition.
$4,000 will start a factory that
will turn out five iron wagons per day
and wouldn't make more than two
wooden ones, and would have to wait
one or two years for timber to season,
or commence on worthless steamed
timber, while the iron wagon may be
started at once.
A wooden wagon factory would
have to establish reputation before
it would find ready demand to turn
its capital. The iron. will find de-
mand at once, because the farmers
are tired of the continual drain of
money on repairs, setting tire etc,
and enough will be willing to try the
iron wagon, on their own judgment
and knowledge of iron and its dura-
bility, to furnish ready cash demand,
if we were TO make ten wagons per

be the absence of capital in that great

Radical policy of concentrating all the

a few who are to rule the millions with

such legislation, by Congress, as will
force contraction and resuption of

is the organ, needs the closest watch

of its features. tits emphatically Radi-

South and West, in the way of pecu-
mary relief, will gain but little from a
revolution which promises SO much at
this time. New York is the money
centre of the United States, and its
leading Democrats would rather live
under Radical rule than endorse any
policy, no matter how conducive to the
general welfare, which may weaken
the controlling influence of capital in
centralizing power and wealth at that
point. The Democratic party, if it
