Col. w. ID. HAYNES.

We are glad to see that our fellow
county-man, Col. w. D. Haynes, OF
Blountville, is prominently mentioned
as being of the right mould and fitness
to occupy seat upon the Supreme
Bench of Tennessee. Mr.. Haynes
legal ability is of the highest order,
and should he be rendered the honor
able position his thorough knowledge
OF written and unwritten law will
soon demonstrate the fact that he is
the right man in the right place. In
addition to his eminent qualifications
Mr. Haynes has the unanimous and
hearty support OF the bar of this coun.
t.,
We would mildly suggest that Sui
livan county deserves this honor
Other counties have been the recipi-
ents for long term OF years, and now
though their sons possess high quail
fications, they should be willing for a
time to retire, Let Sullivan, the only
Democratic county in upper East
Tennessee, come to the front. She
deserves recognition.
Mr.. Haynes and Mr.. Kirkpatrick
have wisely agreed not to be antago'
nists before the nomination conven
tion.--RyistoJ Courier.

That the workingmen have cause TO

impossible If celery is freely used as an
article of diei. Unfortunately, he says
cooked celery, for it is the article in its
raw state to which we are accuston -.
Cut the celery, he says, into inch dice.
Boil In water until soft. No water
must be poured away unless drank by
the invalid. Then take new milk,
very slightly thicken it with water
and flavor it with nutmeg; warm with
the celery In sauce pan; serve with
diamonds ofntoasted bread aroud the

simple remedy, and, If effective, will
