Der and adopted q Constitution. John
Sewer was made President Of that
Convention. This same body met in
GrecneVLlle in 1855 and ratified the
Constitution. Langdon Carter became
speaker of the Senate and William Cage
Speaker Of the House, and John Sewer
was made Governor OF Frankland.
The name was given IN honor of Ben
jamin Franklin, the patriot statesman.
The history of F~rankland Is US inter
csting as a fairy tale Of the olden time.
We love to dwell upon it, are proud of
1t, and glory in the illustriOus deeds
that adorn so spleudidly the historic
name of FARMLAND, whose capital,
nestled away among the hills, MAS
JohesbOro', the quaint, old town OF Il
century's growth.
Rev. Samuel Doak, the pioneer Of
learning In the west, had already es-
tablisicd a school near the present site
Washington College. In 1888 Monitor
Academy was organized, and named in
honor of Alexander Monitor, Govern
or of North Carolina. Washington
College grew out OF this institution.
The first Legislature that met in the
State Of Tennessee chartered it. In
Washington county was established
the first classical school west of the
Alleganies. The name and fame of
Doak have given an additional lustcr
TO the history of the times in
which he lived. Ever since his day
the schOolmaster has been abroad in
the land.
The Centennial calls up many remi-
niscences Of the past. The memory of
the J~acksons, SEWERS, Tiptons, Carriers
Doaks, McLins and other illustrious
names rise up before us. We can hard
ly realize the fact that one hundred
years ago the foundation Of a great
state was laid at Jonesboro', and that
these great men were the builders.
DR.. Luke p. Blackburn, the new
Governor Of Kentucky has beeu pref
ty well ventilated by the press On bis
war record and they have proved it
up on him SO strong that he can not
deny it. The main part of his record
is, that during the war he was Il reb-
ell, but was too cowardlY to go into
the fight, but run away and went TO
Canada and there tried to invent
some plan by which he could intro
duce yellow fever and small pox in to
the northern cities and Federal
army. And now the Democracy re-
ward him with the Office Of Governor
OF Kentucky.
