: Squire Yardley, a colored Republi-
can candidate for Governor of Tennes-
see, has made his first speech in the can
vass. He is said to be one of the purest

principles -Holstoe Methodist.

papers say that Rev. M. NJ. Callen, for
merly of the Holston Conference M. E.

heard that" said Foote. 'tNo didn't"
his interrogation replied" 81 was one of

Now that Nancy is candidate, we
presume Gen. 10. Mabry, of Knoxville,
will declare himself in a few days and
take the stump against the first named

of 'itinerant gubernatorial showmen

insure it to draw good crowds.

out of employment. There is plenty of
work that ought to be done, but there is
no money to pay help.-IlateHigencer. So
the cry is everywhere; and yet a large

VIM. RAIDER, an estimable lady living in
