1t is a humane and Christian practice
in many towns and cities for benevo-
lett committees to visit the families OF
the poor, to ascertain if any are un-
able to provide themselves with the
comforts and luxuries of a good
Thanksgiving dinner. Many a worthy
family in that way has been made hap
by by being furnished with the need
ful supplies. This reminder comes too
late for yesterdays Thanksgiving, but
is equally applicable to Christmas
There are no virtues more highly COM
mendable than charitable remem-
brance of the poor. Nor should these
charities be limited to the providing OF
food, but extended to clothing the
needy. In a land blest with album
dance like this, it is a sin against high
heaven to withhold from those who
have been brought to a condition OF
poverty and want, by misfortunes over
which they could not control. Not
all can be givers, but there are many
who can afford to be.

The Southern States were seldom
more jubilant than over the result of
the recent elections in the Northern
States. They are rejoiced to have
their old friends and allies come to
their rescue again friends who stood
by them in the days of chattle slavery
who were in sympathy with them dur
ing the war of the rebellion; who in
National convention demanded the re-
call of Northern soldiers from Southern
soil; who, after our Northern armies
overthrow the rebellion, favored every
advantage to the South in the work of
reconstruction, and opposed every
scheme for the elevation of the colored
man. Prior to the incoming of the
Republican power in Congress in 1871,
Northern Democratic members were a
unit with the Southern Bourbons.
These facts are historical, and give the
reason for Southern rejoicings over
recent Democratic triumphs in the
Northern states.

Herbert M. Thiers, who was convict
ed of forgery in this city about yea1
ago, and sentenced to Waupun prison
for seven years, has had his sentence
mitigated by Governor Rusk, who has
directed him to be taken to the North
ern Insane Hospital at Oshkosh
The prison physicians certified their
opinion if Thiers were retained in
prison, in his present condition of
health, he could not survive, and that
his recovery was matter of consider
able doubt under any circumstances.
DIR. A. Farr, Of this city, conceded in
this opinion. There were differences
of opinion here as to the prOpriety of
asking the Governor to pardon Theirs.
These differences may be classified as
follows: A numerousIy signed petit
ton was forwarded to the Govern or,
praying for the pardon of Theirs; a
remonstrance against such pardon,
largely signed, was also sent. Other
influential citizens, who signed neither
the petition nor remonstrance, adj
dressed letters to the Governor, recon-.
mending the sending of the prisoner
to an insane asylum for treatment,
still holding him liable to be remanded
to prison, should he recover his
health. Governor Rusk has not grant
ed the pardon of Theirs, but orders
him taken to the Insane Asylum, as
an act of humanity.

the evening was an additiOal tax on
the vitality of the farmer, ad it is no
wonder when oyer-Weariel with his
work that, after time, thtdiscussion
OF these questions would lr in inter-
est, and cease to be sufficie[ly attract
i've to draw the member together.
The value of these meetinS was al
ways admitted by the memhrs and by
the public who read published reports
of the discussions.
The Bristol and Paris Farlers, Club
has taken a rev lease of life and has
also adopted new methods f action.
The meetings are now heldil the day
time, though the sessions ar, freauent-
ly extended into the evening. That
the farmer has a social natue and re-
quirements is taken into account. and
the social furnishing of the Institution
is one of the prominent and ENJOYABLE
features. The Club is somewhat ex-
elusive, and in this feature is he oppo-
site of the old way. The membership
is limited to about dozen families.
and no one has a right t, attend but
members and invited gusts. Meet
ings are held once monthat homes of
members in rotation; the members
(heads of the family at whose house
the meeting is held, FURNISHES the en-
tertainment, it being optional to pro-
vide dinner and meet in The. forenoon.
or provide tea and meet III the after
noon and spend the evening This ar
rangement secures good sciable en-
Joyable time once a month in every
month of the year. This feature,
alone, if there were no oher object,
should give it sufficient ritality for
continued existence.
The farmer is more isoAted in his
condition than the people otany other
profession or occupation; AID any in
stitution that calls more fully into
play his social nature ought to be ap-
preciated and sustained.
The old way had no place for the
farmers wife. In the lew way she
stands on an equal footing with the
male members; ard in fac in this, as
in all other institutions inwhich her
rights are equal, woman is he life and
charm.
Almost incessant toll is sne of the
conditions of farmers success in his
business; but rest and dange of
thought will enable a farmelto accom-
plish more work. The monhly meet
ings CT the Club afford bob rest and
change, and from this stanpolmt are
both necessary and profitable. Man,
however, is not mere moley- getting
animal; he has a social nahre which
must be nourished and exerised, or it
will be dWarfed and dried 10, and the
man become one-sided and Unbalanced
Briefly stated, the objects Of the
Club are wise, social enjoyment by

Farmers in this part of the country
have seldom, if ever, had less cause for
complaint of unfavorable weather in
which to finish their customary fall
work. We are informed no necessary
farm labor is now in the arrear, except
in some instances the husking of corn.
Crops of almost every kind the past
season have been fair. The consum-
ers of farm products in the city have
mach. to say about high prices and ex-
pensive living, which may be taken as
evidence that farmers are obtaining
good prices for their marketable pro-
ducts.

pear Democratic legislation, let them
take the responsibility. Since the pres
ent era of good times began we have
strenuously insisted on the "let alone
policy" in the financial matters of
government, deeming it extremely haz-
ardous to interfere with the existing
order of things. This policy we stir
maintain, but careful revision of the
tariff is so eminently proper, and SO lit
tie calculated to disturb any of the in
dustrial interests of this country, that
no revulsion in trade viii be likely to
follow. The same may be said of
revenue taxes.

grow from month to month, and carry
upward with it the very nation, leav-
ing behind all littleness, until it shall
be thing unknown.

Is human nature to be taken into
account in the management of chill
dren? The old plan considered the
child as bad, very bad; all his nature
must be remOdeled. The school-mas-
ter was expected to hold in check all
waywardness. "Sit STILL" was the
watchward. For years the teacher
waged war with the child's nature, and
in but few cases was the master. Is it
not a better way to let human nature
have chance in the school room? 1t
is not wickedness that prompts the
child to be restless, to draw pictures,
or TO watch the bees that buzz on the
windows.

THE decision in the 1908 case will pos
sibly be rendered next Saturday.

The sudden death OF Judge John A
Mckinney at Rogersville, Sunday after
noon, was painful shock to his friends
here and throughout the State. he was
in Memphis week or ten days ago and
appeared to be in the enjoyment of per-
feet health. He was the son of the late
John A. Mckinney, cousin of Judge r.
}. Mckinney, brother of Mrs. j. B.
Heiskelland uncle of Mrs. @. w. Heiskell.
The only Office be ever held was that of
Circuit Judge of the First Circuit, and he
served with great dignity and ability. He
was educated at an Eastern college-per-
haps Harvard-and was a man of fine
literary and legal attainmerTs. Added to
this, he had a splendid presence and
eourtly manners, and would attract atten-
ton in any crowd. Judge Mckinney
was about flfty-seven years old and was
never married. lie enjoyed anextensive
acquaintance and had many friends who
will sincerely regret his death. Without
being politician, he took an active inter-
est in politics, and was familiar figure in
most of the State Democratic Conventions
that have been held in Tennessee for the
last twenty-five years, and he was on
terms of friendship with most of the lead
ing men of the State. His handsome ap-
pearance, neatness of dress and precision
of manners gained for him in early life
among his friends the title of prince
John" which was often pleasantly re
called. He was very public spirited
man, and took an active part in every
thing that seemed likely to promote the
welfare of his town, and his efforts were
not limited to his county or to East Tennes-
see. He attended the Atlanta Exposition
and did much to call attention to the re-
sources Of his section of the State. Judge
Mckinney was a useful man and a model
of correct department, being temperate
and correct in all his habits and dealings
in life, He was fine specimen of man
hood intellectually and physically, and
worthy representative ola fine old fam
lily. In the prime Of life and the midst of
apparent health he was suddenly stricken
with heart disease, and died as his father
and a brother did before him.
