DON'T YOU FORGET IT!
Lebanon Herald.

Lebanon Herald.
If the prohibition question shall
be an issue in the next canvass in
this State, as now seems probable,
you will see some of the liveliest
dOging on the part of the statesmen
that ever caused the gods to weep.
THAT WOULD BE SENSIBLE.
Murfreesboro News,
The Ohio platform is becoming so
popular as Democratic doctrine that
we expect to hear of the withdraw
al of Mr.. Morrison's tariff bill and
the adoption of the platform by
Congress in its stead.
TAKE YOUR CHOICE.
Chattanooga Democrat.
Here is the question Do free
trade Democrats prefer the election
of a Republican President on tariff
platform to the election of a Demo-
cratic President ON a tariff plat
form? These are the alternatives
and "yOu pays your moneys and
takes your choice"

Lebanon Register.
The fact that Mr.. Cherry, an
avowed and rank Republican, is
the principle owner and controls
the utterances of the World, the
avowed Democratic organ, has
ceased to be matter of astOnish-
ment to our city brethren. They
realize the fact that a Republican
has the boldness, brass and cussed-

numbered among the "things" of
the past.

remarked the other day
that such poetry" would drive
spring back beyond Christmas.
THE WORD WITH THF BARK ON 1T.
Morristown Gazette.
The Morristown Gazette, because
its owner and proprietor could not
secure the position of superintend-
ent or warden of the penitentiary
from the present Governor, is about
to rush frantically into the hands of
the Republican party-Worid.
With the recollection of about
forty years of hard service in the
Democratic party of East Tennessee
where it requires pluck as well as
to be DemOcrat-we do
not hesitate to say to the penitenti-
Try hireling,
"Lord Agnes thou has lied %
JUST SO, EXACTLY.
Somerville Reporter and Falcon.
Every manufacturing establish
nent in a town increases the value
If property in that place.. Such a
Village Increases the value Of lands
adjacent to it. Compare any manu-
acturing and agricultural country of /
he north with an exclusively agri-
ultural one of the south, and note
he enormous difference in values. A
