How Fashions Cling.

Some fashions die hard, as ex-Presi-
dentess Rose Elizabeth Cleveland has
doubtless learned by this time. Her
recent Royal Tyrian purple, Adriatic,
Hellenic letter to the Chicago pub
Usher has made very little change
thus far in the style Of dressing beef
and pork. We notice that the creme
de la creme OF Chicago dressed beef
still comes in most blush-provoking
state Of decolleteness, especially as to
the shoulders and adjacent localities,
while the en- bouffantness of the tour
nure is Just as bustleous as ever.
Hams, shoulders, etc, Of pork are not
quite SO freely exposed as before the
Executives sister discovered the afin-
ity between Lake Michigan and the
Adriatic, and the "sides" are careful
to hide their exuberant charms be-
hind gunny cloth yelling and canvas,
though perhaps the weather has as
much to do with that style Of dressing
as has Rose Elizabeth.

Nom Partisan Officers.

Judge Frank T. Reid, the Repub-
lican leader in the contest for Govern
or two years ago, in letter to the
Americdn says;
1t has always been my opinion that a
political party has no rightful author
ity to name candidates for non-politi-
cal offices, and seek to compel the
support Of its followers to its action ;
and, therefore, if n Republican Con-
vention had nominated u straight
ticket, in my opinion, its followers
would have been under the high OBJ
legation, as good citizens and honest
men, to support those candidates,
whether on the Democratic or the Re
publican ticket, or on neither, who, in
their judgement, We're best qualified
to protect and serve the public inter-
ests. If a Republican can find no bet
ter ground ON Whicl to support me
than that Of party fellowship, he had
better not support me at all. |
would certainly consider myself dis
honered to ask it on thai ground.
FRANK T. REID.
Republicans will see from this, that
under the authority of their leader
of two years ago, they are under no
obligations to vote for the FRAUDULENT
nominees for Circuit Judge and AT,
torney General, that are trying to be
forced upon them in this district
Mr.. Reid is a candidate for Attorney
General in the Nashville district, and
ought to be Republican authority OF

ATLANTA, Ga, July 16.-George
Brown, murderer serving a life SEN
tence in the Dade county coal mines,
was this morning restored to freedom
by Gov. Mcdaniel At the March
term of 1878 of Cobb Superior Court,
Brown was convicted of murder. He
was sentenced to be hanged, fate
which he avoided by the reception OF
a commutation to life imprisonment
from Gov. Colquitt. When the revolt
broke out in stockade mine No. 3. sew
eral days ago Brown was the only one
of the 100 who refused to take part.
He was severely maltreated, but he
never flinched in his opposition until
the final surrender was made. This
was reported to Gov. Mcdaniel, who
Immediately decided to reward I3roNu
by giving him his liberty.

During the trial Of a case in the af
ternoon in which the defendant plead
guilty and asked the leniency of the
court, Judge Jackson made few re
marks that were worse than any boml
shell that could have been thrown il
the ranks of the law violators present
The Judge said as the defendant ha(
submitted, the court would make hi
punishment as light as possible, bu
hereafter the law must and shall b,
enforced to the letter, and that tn,
people must learn to obey the law
more. The Judge thought it a grea
shame that such a crowd of men ant
women should be required to attenC
these courts, for it not only spoke no
well for such beautiful section a
this, but was interfering with legaliz
ed business mems rights.

Base EBaII Literature.
One Of the finest bits of base ball lit
erature that has come to bat this sea-
son is furnished by Miss Fannie
Stearns, the accomplished daughter of
Postmaster Stearns, of Adrian, Mich.
1t came to the plate at class social Of
the Adrian high school in response to
the toast, "The High School Nine
and it made u hit for all the bases and
the entire gate receipts. 1t is as fol-
lows:
among all the sports of our coun-
try there me none in which is center
ed more interest than our national
game OF base ball no well regulated
college or high school is complete
without Il base ball club; and among
all the organizations it is difficult to
find one which has a nine superior to
ours. Indeed, the only reason why
the Adrian High School Base Ball
Club is not member of the National
League is because much Of their time
is occupied in games with boot-blacks.
On account OF their far-famed battery,
the government is seriously consider
ing the adyisability OF adding them to
the military force Of the United States
The nine are better posted than any
similar organization in the country,
and they know so much about the
game that they have, very frequently,
to correct the umpire, although, Of
course, they always do so in courte-
Gus and gentlemanly manner Cur
nine young athletics have by hard
work won glory and renown for them
selves and the educational institution
with which they were connected, and
they merit the thanks Of not only the
high school, but the public at large
who support the schools, and who can
look with pardonable pride upon our
high school nine. Then here's to the
high school base ball nine. May yom
pitchers never become full Of beer
nor your catcher never wear a mull,
In your pursuit OF life may you never
get first on errors, be compelled tC
slide for second, or try to steal third
At Thanksgiving it is safe to make
fowl fly and easy enough to see thai
you know it. In wrong doing it i,
best to be a good short stop II
study may you always haye the bes
score and always be nine. In busi
ness | trust you will make a gooC
pickup and sale hit to right Il
In society may you ever be regarded
! as a good CATCH In politics I be
speak for you a safe rum andin low
-ah, blush not, ye brawny yielders o
the bat--in love, when years shall
strengthen mature judgment if yol
see your daisy in the right field thel
catcher at once and ask some minis
ter for an assist But remember, il
the mean time, when you go to Sc
her, and her father at 10 o'clock want
. to call the game on account Of dark
+ ness, don't dispute the umpire Or wal
e to go out on strikes but proceed t
f make home run before you ar
? 'Gelded' out on a double play"
The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1886-07-22

When Buffalo heard that the Presi-
dent had pardoned Porter Lee the
general expression was; "1 am glad
on account of his wife and children !;
she has been q brave, devoted wife
and true woman, and the people well
come her relief" A good wife is a
power and blessing to even the vilest
man.
"Never leave what you undertake
until you reach your arms around it
and clinch your hands on the other
side" says recently published book
for young men, which has been sent
us by friend for the Judges" bene-
fit. That's all hunkidory; but what
if "she" screams?-Ex.
oh, she won't scream. Don't worry
about her. She may be troubled foI
breath, but she will not scream, by a
large majority.

To THE COMET" :"
Anticipating and expecting that
candidates who seek Office by fraud,
treachery, and political theft, will also
resort to forgery to deceive the pub
lie, it will soon be time to look for let
ters and circulars with the names of
Judge Hacker and John Fain signed
to them, endorsing the result of the
counterfeit Jonesboro convention, and
exhorting all republicans to vote for
Brown and Campbell.
As Republican who is known to
be friend to Judge Hacker and John
Fain, and in favor of honesty and de-
cency in politics, am authorized to
to say that Judge Hacker and John
Fain will silently submit to the shame
ful wrong putupon them but they will
not soil their stainless reputation and
character by publicly endorsing any
thing so mean, dirty and treacherous
as the late Jonesboro convention, non
ask or expect their honest friends to
vote for its candidates.
Then let the voters of this Judicial
circuit look out for such forged lies
and not be deceived by them. All
honest papers please copy.
Respectfully
T. j. BERRY.
