Judge HOuk's Loyalty
SEvIERvILLE, October s, l

SEvIERvILLE, October 6, 1882.
Mr.. EDITOR: Houk's friends, the bread
and butter brigade, are remarkably loud
mouthed in declaring what Houk has done
for the party, but fail to enumerate any of
his great acts of patriotism. Let us exam
Inc the records and see what great service
he has rendered his party. The first great
patriotic act he accomplished was to get
himself pension, the first payment of
which was So, 100 and $500 per month
since. The next great act of patriotism was
to get his son John 80, 900 Office. TIE
third great patriotic act was to get Dick
Austin, his private secretary, an office worth
s2,0OO. The fourth great act Of patriotism
was to secure Fl. L. Gibson, his law part
ner, S., 900 Office The fifth great act of
patriotism was to secure his law
student ". III. Fitzgerald a 1000 Office.
The sixth great act of patriotism was to get
Joe. Leak, his nephew, a 81, 900. So you
see his patriotism was all lavished on him
self and relatives It was once known by
the name of nepotism, but now it is called
by another name
Old Sewer will not help to send man to
Congress who put himself first, like the
Scotchman's prayer-''O Lord, bless me
and my wife, my son John and his wife, us
four and 0 mora Amen"

JoSEsBoRo, Tenn, Oct. 4,


JoSEsBoRo, Tenn, Oct. 4, 1882.
Mr.. EDITOR The secondary of our fair
dawned upon US most beautifully, and by
the time it was light, the rattle of wagons
and other vehicles could be heard on our
streets, moving in the direction of the fair
grounds. At noon to-day the books were
closed and no entries allowed after that
time It is much the best exhibition we
have ever had, and the attendance Is larger
than any previous year on the second DAY.
We notice about fifty head of cattle on ex-
bihition. MIR. Isaac King, of Sullivan
County. has herd of twenty five short
horn Durhams Noticeable among this
herd is a milk COW that gives eight gallons
of milk day. A steer three years old last
spring that weighs sixteen hundred pounds.
Mr. j. Y. Fulkerson has three thorough
bred Jerseys from his dairy farm near
Knoxville, Knox County Tenn. He has re-
fused two hundred and fifty dollars for the COW
and one hundred for the calf at her side.
The bull is the finest animal of the kind |
ever saw, but looks rather small when COM
pared with some of the mammoth Durhams
on exhibition. There are several fine mich
COWS on exhibition that deserve special men
ton, but do not wish to make inVidious
distinctions.
There are eighty-three entries of horses
this year, and some of them are very supe
rior Those who have been attending our
fairs from year to year say they see a great
improvement in our stock of all kinds.
The number of entries of hogs is not
large, but there is enough to show that the
swine stih fourishes in this section. 1t may
be that they are in til, woods this year
taking the splendid oak mas that abounds
in our forests.
The display of vegetables and farm pro
ducts is the best ever seen in East Tennes-
see, both as to quality and quantity. As l
stated in my last letter, four of our farmers
alone have nearly one thousand articles on
exhibition.
l cannot more than mention the fact that
the ladies' departments are all full, and do
them great credit.
The number of tents scattered over the
grounds for the purpose of gathering up the
loose nickles, In one way and another, give
the grounds the appearance of a military
camp, and the negroes and small boys have
invested largely.
Good order has prevailed generally inside
the enclosure, but as usual on such occasions,
there is always drunken crowd gathered
on the outside. A man by the name of
Hugh Jones was severely injured with an
axe in difficulty to day, outside the en-
closure.
The hotels and private houses are all full
and l have no doubt but many have been
kept away by fear that they could not get
accommodations.
The music for the occasion has been
furnished by the colored band of Jonesboro.
who have been practicing some time for
the purpose. Truly, &C., FELIX.

LIMESTONE, October 5th.
Mr. EDITOR: Quite an interesting cpl
sode occurred in the new NJ. E. Church at
Ielford's on last Saturday, September Both.
1t consisted in the presentation of a watch
to Rev. J. W. Mann. 1t was beautiful
double-case silver watch, inscribed on one
side, Presented by the Ministers and Mem
bers of the Greeneville District" and on the
other. Rev. J. W. Mann" 1t was bought
in your city, of Hope L Bros, costing fully
$50. The presentation speech was made IN
a very happy manner by the Rev. J. n.
Baker, and responded to in touching re-
marks by the recipient. This watch
was presented as token of the
love and esteem that the warm
hearted, intelligent people of this district
have for their retiring presiding elder.
Brother Mann is a model presiding elder,
and model man in every respect, and has
accomplished grand work in the cause of
the Master, and has place in the affections
Of this people that time can never eradicate.
May the presence of God continue with him
in his new field of labor Yes
Bright and pleasant be his pathway,
Through this darksome world of ours;
May his life be crowed with blossoms
May mis- path be strewn with flowers,
And when all his dreams are over,
Like some weary, wandering dove,
May he fold his wings forever,
In the better land above
PETE HADLEY.
