1t is not considered good form in

thy OF complaint and objugation
Fortunately fer those engaged in gov
eminent work, the public offices are
clean, well ventilated, and as C. oil as
they can be made. But in spite of the
daphonous dresses of the female en-
ployees and the fact that the men dis
card all garments not insisted upon by
civil and social laws, they perspire like
iron puddlers.
The President has learned for the
first time what Washington could do
in the way of hot weather and no
doubt contrasted last Sunday in the
city with the previous Sunday which
he spent at Woodmont on the upper
Potomac.
I see that some of the truly good re-
publican papers are greatly hurt be-
cause the President went to Wood
mont and spent the Sabbath, like a
bad boy, fishing 1t will no doubt de-
light themeto learn that the President
did nothing of the sort, but passed the
day like gentleman and christian

THE Americans historical discovery
that all East Tennessee Republicans
are descended from the Tories of the
Revolution has got the Taylor family
in the sheol of fix. The Union calls
attention to the fact that Alf Taylor
has always been consistent Republi-

jealous Democrat Their common
ancestor fought at the battle OF Kings
Mountain, and according to the Amer

behind. it's worse than Chinese puz-

did battle.

The creditors of deceased person
in New York recently endeavored to
compel the executor to account for in
surance funds derived from the Com
mercial Travellers Association and the
L. 0. M. A., in payment OF the liabili-

insurance funds were not assets for
the payment of claims, for these asso-
Citations were not designed to benefit
the estate while the party was living
or his creditors when he was dead,
but the family are legal heirs OF the

PROTEST.

III the Bolivar Bulletins utterances
in favor OF railroad commission
holding that the action OF the last two
conventions is binding ON the one 20
be held next year--are intended as tie
uttered views OF it, probable candidate
for governOr-the distinguished ciii-
zen OF Bolivar, Albert T. McNeal-We
are glad OF the candor and fair sailing
which this would indicate. This coun.
try needs candidates who have vie ws
and are not afraid to give them to the
pubIic.-Union-
Now why in the name of common
sense should the expressions of the
Bolivar Bulletin be taken as the opin-
ions of Albert McNeal? Can't coun-
try editor advance an idea without
being accused OF rejecting the views
of local politician
The CHRONICLE has been annoyed
with that sort of thing and most I'M
Justly. There are, OF course, some
weekly papers that are the organs OF
men with political aspirations, we
know of such, but the average country
editor is as independent of such infiu-
ence as the big tycoons of the city
press.
The Bolivar Bulletin is edited by
Hon. Jesse Norment who was Sena-
tor in the Legislature of SO. He is a
lawyer OF recognized ability and, prob
ably, rs old man as Capt. McNeaL
: lie has lately been employed by the
proprietors OF the paper. Messrs.
Weatherly Brothers, as political edit
or. He is capable writer and don't
have to borrow his opinions
Mr.. Norment having been a member
OF the Legislature that created the
railroad commission, probably regards
it as holy thing, bulwark of Amer
lean liberty or something of the sort,
and he wants it perpetuated notwith-
standing the fact that it was declared
unconstitutional by the courts, reject
ed by the people at the ballot box and
repealed by subsequent Legislature.
This is a heresy that holds with some
other people in Tennessee besides Mr..
Norment, but we don't know that it
has necessarily injected all of his
neighbors.
1t is not necessary for us to say that
the CHRONICLE does not reflect Capt.
McNeal's views any more than the
Bulletin does; we don't know what
his views are. We are simply pro-
testing against this thing of accusing
a country paper of being the mouth
piece of some political potentate who
resides in the vicinity of where it is
published.

IT don't take any extraordinary as
tuteness to see that the Nashville
American is laying its plans to cap
ture the Supreme Judges to be elected
next year and secure bench tractable,
to the machine. Such scheme should
not be submitted to by the people; the
bar of the State will certainly rebel
against it. There are lawyers who are
politicians, and even demagogues so
far as politics goes, but the Judiciary
is something sacred to them and they
draw the line when it comes to apply
ing such arts to the election of Judges.

Death of Mrs. Trotter.

To the Chronicle:
For the first time in my life / try
to write few lines for public print
/ wish to make known the death of a
dear friend, Mrs. G. B. Trotter who
departed this life at the residence OF
Mr. J. X. Trotter after a long spell OF
illness. She leaves her husband, six
children and many warm friends to
mourn her loss. She was a true COM
panion, a devoted mother, kind
neighbor and devout Christian. She
joined the M. E Church South when
she was twelve years old and had been
a CONSTANT member since that time.
She was Al years and five months old
when she died. She was a good
worker in the church and always
ready to help those who could not
help themselves. She told this writer
that her father and two sisters, who
had been dead for some time, were
waiting to wait her home to God.
To-day she is a bright shining angel
in Heaven. May we all live as she
did and meet death as brave soldiers
of the cross. The deceased had many
warm friends in Montgomery county.
She left three brothers who were de-
voted to her. May we all meet her at
the thrown of God
ONE WHO LOVES HER MEMORY.

The appointment is good. Mr.. Man
son, who is a merchant, is a thoroughly
reliable business man and highly re-
spected by all who know him. We
have radically differed with him on
some questions that have been made

recognize in him a man of high per-
sonal merit If a man of his stamp

none of the agricultural lands about the

Where whole townships were vacant

increases. BY far the largest portion Of

the portion of the land district lying

the same will be true for the time TO
come. In order to meet the require

twelve new townships are now to be
surveyed along Horsehead creek, and
at the present rate Of settlement il will
be but a short time until every desirable

claimed.
