Hon. Robert Blain, of Kentucky.

Hon. Robert BIain, of Kentucky,
The Stanford [Ky) Interior journal, a
Democratic paper, says;
Hon. Robert Blain, the Republican elected
to the senate in this district, was born of
Scotch parents. at Blain's \ Roads, East
Tennessee, on the 10th day of May, 1918,
and is consequently 63 years of age. He
graduated when about 81, at the East Ten
nessee University, and moved to Stanford
in 1910. In 1912 and '43, he was principal
of the Seminary here, and during the time
read law. He was subsequently admitted to
the bar, and in 1916 was elected county
attorney. In 1919 he ran as the Wing NOM
inee for the legislature, and was again victo-
rious. On the same ticket, in 1853, he was
elected to represent this district in the State
senate, and served four years In 1866 he de
feated Bobbitt for the county attorneyship,
since which time he has not held any office.
An old line Wing before the war, he became
| q conservative after the war, and advocated
a third party voting mainly with the Demo
Gratis till 1872, when he supported Grant,
| and since has swallowed both Hayes and
| Garfield. He is a man that no mortal can
| say aught against, and is one Of those few
| persons that will do you favor, even at his
own expense. This has rendered him very
popular, and gained him much so-called
Democratic support. As honest as the days
are long, he will not go with his party if he
is convinced that he is wrong, but will act
entirely from conscientious convictions. He
says that he is going to support Beck, since
no Republican can be elected, and that he
viii not go into any collision with his o.
the Democratic party looking to his defeat
While deeply regretting that we are to b
represented by Republican, we are glad
since fate was against rs, that so honest ant
| true man as Robert Blain has been chosen

MARYvIhhE, August l0

MARYvnLE, August 10.
Mr. EDITOR 1t is with sadness that
send this communication. sW. D. McGin-
lev the Oldest member of the Maryville
bar and one of our oldest and best citizens,
departed this life at about y o'clock, Mon
day, August 9Th, 1881, at his residence in
this place. He was about sixty years of
age, and has been practicing law near thirty
years. He was strictly and scrupulously an
honest man, and had the confidence of ALL
He has been man of vigorous health, be-
ing large and strong physically. Last
winter lie was attacked with disease in the
mouth called necrosis by the medical pre-
fession. 1t was very painful and gave him
great trouble, taking his teeth, which were
large, fine and sound. The disease con-
tinued to prey upon him, next taking the
bones from his jaws. So he continued to
suffer until the last, but during this ex-
cruciating pain he was patient and calm, re-
tanning his mental powers with great calm
ness. He will be greatly missed from our
community and county. He leaves a
widow, with some five children, to mourn
his loss. = number of these children are
quite young, and the death of Mr.. McGin-
ley will place a great and trying burden
upon Mrs. Mckinley. The deceased was a
conscientious Christian and a consistent
member of the Baptist Church. Although
his death was not unexpected, it has cast q
gloom over the community. W.

The people of the South possess higher
degree Of patriotism than they are generally
accredited with. l noticed this by the
manner III which the news of the attempted
ASSASSINATION was received. The villain
Guiteau was universally denounced. In

There are at least two dozen of them en-
gagged in business, all worth from 500, 900
to 5000 They are patronized by white
men. At the BIaryville College L saw ne
groes studying with white men in the
same class. There is disposition
upon the part of the negroes, who can
afford the expenses of an education, to go
into the professions, rather than acquire the
industrial arts. In Nashville, however, they
have entered all branches of commerce and
mechanics and comprise the bulk of the brick
layers, stonemasons and carpenters of the
city. The white men of the South are
gradually learning to work, | must say.
Many of my people are engaged IN farming
and cotton growing, and many of them own
their own places. An ambition to become
landed proprietor Is general among the ne
groes. In the matter OF dealing with them
either as farmers, mechanics, or tradesmen,
I noticed less prejudice upon the part of the
white men than is shown here i'll st. Louis.

Without Home By Edward P. Roe.
(New York: Dodd & Mead; Portland: Loring,
Short & Harmony A powerful and fairly
well-written story, with benevolent purpose
The distresses which beset the family of the
heroins are all caused by the fathers slavery
to morphia, and the author has taken pains to
verify the dark picture which he draws, by
reference to medical testimony from experts.
Incidentally, too, an earnest plea is made for
the health and comfort of women employed in
retail stores; and in several ways Mr.. Roe
takes the opportunity to speak word for those
who need such help. The interest of the story
will find for it many readers, and its plain
speaking and humane intent cannot fail to be
beneficial.
