by the bellies and beauX. There
seems to be a rush, especially
among the young men, to stop
down, or rather up, and have the
dreadful u,alady healed or alleviat-

for the troubling of the waters, but

There are unusual reasons this
year for convention in this dis

reduced the democratic majority to
dangerously narrow margin, but in
terferes seriously, If not disastrous

mittees. The following pream BILE
and resolution adopted by the
state executive committee, demand
prompt attention and mUst be met
with prompt action all over the
state but TO this district, by reason
of its reduced democratic majority,
it is peculiarly significant:
WHEREAS, BY Act of the last Legis-
lature of Tennessee, the State vas re-
districted and laid of into Chancery
Divisions and judicial Circuits, and by
reason of this change there is no one at
this time, in the divisions and circuits
as thus changed, authorized and en-
powered TO call conventions where ne
cesssry, for the purpose OF nominating
candidates for judges, chancellors and
attorneys general; therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That this committee suggest
and recommend that the various cOun-
ty Chairmen of the Democratic Com
mittees OF the counties composing the
judicial circuits and ehancery divisions
as now constituted, be committee,
who shall meet upon the call Of the
members Of The State Executive Com
