King and Pettibone at Hamilton

Tuesday, at y o'clock, a number
Jf the voters OF Carter county gather
ed together in a grove near Hampton
Pettibone opened the discussion. 1t
was very evident, that the Major was
not in good mood for speaking. He
had recently sprained his ankle, the
,rowd was scattered, the wind blew
hcrcely, the voters didn't seem to
5ympathize with him, all these things
tended to dcpress the Major. The
associations which must have come
to his mind while he stood there in
that groye;of another grove in which
he spoke, on July 10th, may have con
tributed, also, to lower his mental
thermometer
King fully sustained himself. He
met with numerous friends at Hamp
ton. The Taylor Republicans gayt
him hearty welcome.
When Pettibone finished his second
speech he and his paid followers lief
the ground. Some OF the Republican,
who hesitsted in their choice between
the two men become indignant al
this trick, and expressed themselye,
for King.

OF Pettibone and his gang. A young
man, who is acknowledged to be the
headlight Of the Republican party Of
this district, who had nothing to car

be defeated in this shameful manner
in order that this big Major from
Michigan can draw his prinre)y sua-

He Wants All The Smells.

Pettibone speaks in amournful tone
concerning lis life here in Tenn. He
says he came here perfect stranger,
and that he has not relative in the
State.
Why the people Of Tennessee don't
object to Pettibone simply because he
was born and reared in Michigan.
They think none the less of him be,
cause he has no relative in the State
The people of this district object tc
Pettibone because he wants all the
spoils. He has been sucking govern
ment pap for over fifteen years ans
still holds on with logged stubborn
ness. We have men, native to GU
State, of first class ability and it is bu

The court Of Washington co, refused
to contribute anything toward propar-
ing an exhibit for the New Orleans
Exposition, The vote stood 13 for
and II against. This ought to be a
matter OF serious regret to every citi-
zen in the county. Washingtoncoun-
ty has long claimed to be enterpris-
ing, and alive to her interests, IN fact
we sometimes boast that in deeds Of
this kind, Washington is ahead ofany
county in this end Of the State, Yet,
when sullivan was called upon to con
tribute to this purpose she was quick
to respond with $3.50, and Greene with
no less readiness answered with the
same amount, and when the live and
enterprising Washington was calledup
on, she gave, you would think, $500 or
$500 "No,' she she said, eve wont
give cent"
Well, if the court Of Washington
county does not realize the impor-
lance Of an exhibit at the Exposition
the people Of Washington county do
and we believe will contribute liberal
ly to this enterprise. The only way
now to raise the money necessary tc
prepare an exhibit is by subscription

In Memory of Nathaniel L. Taylor.

He was born August %, 1917, aged
81 years. He was the son of Thomas
and Elizabeth Taylor. He was mar
ried to Malinda Henley in 1874. His
illness lasted but few days, suffering
intensely from the time he was taken
sick until death. When first taken
sick he was impressed with the
thought that he would never recover,
and said he was submissive to the will
of his God, for in him he put his trust.
He bore his suffering with fortitude,
even to the last, recognizing his friends
and children, giving directions in re-
gard to his burial, and to engrave on
his tomb "Here lies an honest man.
He lived life, in most respects, that
is worthy of note and imitation, hon
est in all his dealings, truthful, sober
and charitable to the poor Though
not a member Of any church, but a
believer in God, and prided in keep.
