Ye say that tits not womans place
To fight this crafty woe;
But they have dared the same to face,
In dens Of vice and woe.
Ye well may tremble In your tracks
And croak of womall's spear
II God has given them the trust
Why need they stop or fear?
mol onward 20. ye brave true hearts,
Make glad the homes SO drear;
There Is one that ever helps the right
He brings the harvest near.
There 8 many homes in this fair land
That once were bright and gay;
But now, with sorrow brooding Ger,
In grief and gloom must stay
And many hearts once that were light
And joyous as the morn,
Now heavy, dark and full Of sin
There loving turns to scorn.
oa could you see the wrstshed homes
This drink of he'll has nade,
You'd wonder not at woman's hate.
On her the curse is laid.
'ris hers TO drain the bitter dregs
or woe from misery's cup
To see q fathers wicked threats,
Like demons eyes fare up
To hear brothers curses flung
From lips that Sin hath stain'd,
And cen o husbands blows to feel
Atmind and body aimed.
IT'S hers to see her little ones
All hungry. cold and bare.
And he that should their guardian be,
With curses rend the air.
They cry for bread-he calls for rum
Oh mother, dost thou see?
They heart must with this anguish break.
Unless God helpeth thee.

County Court Clerk.

Capt. Lon BLIZZARD is announced today
as a candidate for reelection TO the Of
fec of County Court Clerk. Atpres-
cnt we are not aware that he has any
pronounced opposition. Capt. BLIZZARD
has filed the place for four years to the
satisfaction of every one who has had
business TO transact with him. lie is
attentive and prompt in tho discharge OF
his duties, and can always be found at
his post during Office hours. Tho SER
vices of such an officer are Invaluable,
and the people Of McMinn could not do
better than to retain Capt. BLIZZARD in his
present position.

Circuit Court Clerk.

In calling attention to the announce
ment of John f. Slower as candidate
for reelection to the Office Of Circuit
Court Clerk, we have but a word TO say.
An attentive, prompt and accurate Clerk
is boon to any county, as upon him de-
ponds in large degree the facility with
which the business of the Court is con.
Quoted and the public time and expense
economical. Mr.. Slower has the repu-
tation of being ono Of the rcadiest and
best Circuit Clerks in the State, and has
a large hold upon the confidence and
esteem of the people Of his county. We
don't know who is to be the opposing
candidate. or whether there will bc one,
but we shall have very little doubt OF
Mr.. Slover's reelection by q handsome
majority in any event.

Wilson County,

The Lebanon Herald, commenting on
tho late tragedy in that town and the
escape of the murderer without a dc.
cent effort TO arrest him, says:
"The Insecurity OF iifo and limb, as il
exists in Wilson county, is an outrage
on law and decency--and it is high time
that all concerned should be taught in
the forciblest manner that the price OF
a human life is not to be estimated in
money, and that lis sudden and violent
taking.off deserves and will receive a
punishment greater than that which fol-
lows the robbing of smoke-house or
the theft Of an ovcrcoat."
We have been impressed all along
with the belief that Wilson was one
of the best and most law. abiding coun-
ties in the State, and that Lebanon, the
capital, was justly noted for its insttu.
tons Of learning, and for the virtue, re.
finement and morality of lis people.
But according to the Herald lawiessness
is frequently in the ascendant and crimes
Of the highest grade are committed
with impunity.
