''rro all Ministers OF the Gospel in
Tennessee, we find in the Central

Tennessee
To all ministers who favor the
calling of a convention of ministers,

take into consideration the best
ways and means for n united effort
against the liquor traffic in the State
of Tennessee.
1t is our desire Go inauguate the
ministers movement in our State us
it is being done in Kentucky and
Missouri. With the success which
has attended this movement in it,,
very infancy, we are led to believe
that it will he one of the most pow
erful aud successful combinations
which has ever attacked the whisky
triffic. 1t is said that the press and
the pulpit are the grand ruling
powers of the. world. Then, breth-
rem of the ministry, let the power
that worketh with us" be focused
in the fight OF God and humanity.
We request every minister in the
State, who favors the movement, to
send us their names at once, and we
will report the progress in our
columns until the work is consum-
mated.
All papers, both religious and
secular, that are friendly to the

( cOnsumptVe's Fight for Lite
Rome Journal.

\. H. Barnes, OF Reno, Nevada,
lights off consumption by wearing
Il silver tube, which passes between
the ribs into the lungs. In 1919
Mr.. Barnes, then living in Syca-
more, DeKalb county, Illinois, was
declared an incurable cOnsumptive.
The hung was tapped and he rccOv-
cred. In 1863 he was again taken
down by the disease, when he once
more reSorted to the tube, and has
worn it constantly ever since. There
is daily discharge of matter. Mr..
Barnes is man OF very regular and
temperate habits, does not use to-
bacco III any form, EOr stirnulants
of any kind, hardly ever uses any
medicine, except sometimes little
iron for the blood ; is always feeling
we'll when the hole in his side is
open, sometimes feeling heaviness
there, but has got used to that.
This case is worthy of special atten-
ton of medical men. 1t seems to
give Al man new lease Of life, even
when apparently as good us dead.
When Mr.. Barnes conceived the
idea OF tapping his lung, all the
physicians but one secuted 1t rs a
thing that would prove fatal. How
ever, he persuaded DR.. Woodman
to perform the operation. In 1863
Mr.. Barnes was in Honey Lake
valley, and was on the brink of the
grave. Now, again, the resident
physicians were opposed to the idea
of an incisiOn, and after repeated
appeals for an operation, which was
refused, Mr.. Barnes borrowed IA
lance and cut his side himself. He
then inserted a catheter, and draw
ing OFF nearly a quart of matter, inn
mediate relief was found. The
cough and eXpectOratiOn stopped
almost instantly and Mr.. Barnes
was soon upon his feet again. Thus
has he prolonged life over thirty
wears.

We heard "A gentleman say the

make so much noise about men who
"bolt," for he voted for about the

for an office. 1t is said that Bate
was a warm supporter OF Brecken-
ridge as against Douglas for prCsi-
dent, just before the war. How this
is, we do not know, but suppose he
can tell all about il if he will. Will
he or his friends deny his early bolt

Bill 9rD'S PHILOSOPHY.

IT don't pay to get mad about any
thing, much less about politics. Get
ting mad cheats a man out of his
time. He can lose a day or two
days or even u week, thinking about
it and fretting over it, and that in
terferes with his business and de-
ranges his digestion, and makes his
family unhappy. He had better
go dead for a while and come to life
again Getting mad is the poorest
way toget even with Il enemy ever
tried. 1t don't pay worth a cent and
always makes a man lose his own
self respect. Now a man may get
mad with himself fer being fool
and it will do him no harm. In fact =,
il may do good. for it's sign of re-
pentance. ! knew a young man to
go TO church fuir and the girls
honeyfugled six dollars out of him
and he went home and undressed
whipped himself with the other,
and rs he cut himself round the legs
he would say: You go to another
church fair! You let them girls
fool you out of your money again ?
\ on pay ten cents TOR every 1901 let
ter they stick ut you! You give
half dollar for Il little dab of ice
creaIn--I'll learn you some sense, l
WILL" and as he talked to himself,
he kept the switch going lively,
and he would dance up and down
just like he was another fellow.
Now that is good idea. When II
man makes d fool of himself and
goes Il ripping around let him tie
himself up aud give himself good
whipping, and then take fresh
start in the morning II Il man
gets into fight with another man
ne might ;tccidently get whipped
and then everybody would hear OF
it, but if he whips himself all by
himself it will do more good, and
nUbudy would ever know anything
about il.
