Our farmers are very busy now,

filled with herds Of cattle, and they are
fat and free from murrain or milk
sick. If you want good, healthy, fat
beevcs, come to the mountain. MI
things seem to point to IL better future
in the 10Th. The darkness is giving
way to light. We have Il good school,
and the people are all at peace with one
another They are much interested
about the coming election, but this does
not deter them from labor. They may
be in the backwoods, but they have no
sickness, have plenty to cat, are honest
in their dealings with one another, and
are happy despite the ways of the
world. They feel that it does not re
quire wealth to make them happy.
And the mountains are beautiful now.
The woods present to view all shades OF
colors, and we think that autumn is Il
beautiful season, although the leaflets
are dying. Yours, 3 3 3

people Of Winchester and Franklin
county to be on the alert. You will
see strangers sent by the Radical party
into our midst Treat them politely,
mean as they may be. They come t'
talk with the negroes. Let them do it.
The South would be better off if she did
not have single negro on her soil. The
negro is unreliable. Every negro may
vote for Garfield, yet Tennessee will
vote for freedom and Hancock, On
this point there is no division among
