EDITORS DEMOCRAT:
1t has been sometime since your
many readers has heard anything
from this part of the county. 1 cam
not say that we arc any more rious
than other portions of the county, but
/ can say that we have had Sunday
school at Eagleton's School-house for
over fifty years. Joseph Armbrister
is the Superintendent of our school at
this time, and he is good one. The
Rev. Scion McCroskey is the pastor
at that place. He is very able min
lister, and is much beloved by his
church and the people. He breaches
Christ as revealed in the Bible, and
does not run down other denomina-
tons.
Prof. John G. Hitch is teaching
school at the above named school
house. This is his first school and he
is doing splendid.
Mt. Lebanon has a good Sunday
school-W. O. Raulston, Superintend'
ent; and he cannot be beat. The Rev
P. b. McCarrell is pastor. He is con
sidered the ablcst minister in the
Mount Harmony Association. l heard
him make one of his best efforts last
Sunday.
There is some improvements in THU
quarter. Mr.. James r. Clark .ha'
built him a new residence. Mr.. Eli
Brown has built him a neat residence
Mr.. Archibald Hitch has built himself
splendid barn. Mr.. s. Fl. Georg'
has also built good barn. DIR. Ed
George has remodeled his mill; it i
one of the best in the country.
There seems to be several candidate
OF aspirants, but it is the wish o
many voters that Gen. II. N. Hoo
would consent to become cand1dat
for Congress. NoLo'

EDITORS DEMOCRAT: 81
We 'are always glad to get the DEM
ocRAT. Think it is one of the best
country newspapers in East Tonnes
see; that it has got to be a fixture in
our county.
Everything seems very dull about
our town. Not much business going
on, except among the farmers, who
are getting ready to plant corn. The
wheat is looking fine. We think the
indications are that our town is going
to improve some in the way of bust
ness. The Touring mill property has
been sold, and we understand that the
purchaser will at once go to work to
fit up an extensive steam tannery and
dry goods house near the mill.
1t is currently reported that Messrs.
George Bull, Jr., & Co., of Maryville,
will soon open stock Of goods here,
Mr.. John G. Cox, of II. II. Cox a
Son, will start East in few days to
get large stock of spring and sum-
mer goods, they having decided ia
continue the business. So you see
that with two new stores, with the
three already here, we may expect a
lively competition, which, of course
will be that much better for the
buyer. .1
The steamers, J. H. johnson and
Harry Helm, have been making
weekly trips for some time. Suppose
they will continue in the trade as long
as the water will allow them to run
There is very little talk of the cleo
ton in this part of the county JUS
now, but suppose when the nomina
tons are made the friends of the re-
spective candidates will go TO work
for their interests. NJ.

right to do, but for lack of time or.
brains or something else committed
its editorial management to a black
man."-[X, in Iaryyille Index.
The Republican party claims to be
the only true friend Of the colored
race; where have we, in this section
at least, colored men employed by
Republicans to publish their newspa-
pers, or even to "set" the type? Do
they not (the aforesaid Republicans
even employ white Democrats in
preference to colored men? Notwith-
standing the PROFESSIONS of the Re-
publicans, PRACTICALLY the Democrats
exhibit less race prejudice and hostil-
ity. A bad showing for your party,
friend Y! I'VE presume X is Re-
publican, as he uses the term "dirty
niger" so glibly.] Esd

AS the color of the President of
Maryville College and the "blacks"
employed on the DEMOCRAT is well
known to this community, 1t is well
to ask, 'if color must decide the ques-
ton, how white, how dark any one
must be" to be a "black nigger?" BY
this rule, even after colored students
cease to be known at Maryville Col
lege, a man of "dusky hue" will still
be President of. that institution, and
for whom we have a "fellow-feeling,"
on account of "color" alone.
