THE Athens Post has discovered a
new and profitable industry for East
Tennessee-that of cotton raising.
The Post says it has been tried and
found quite successful in Polk and
McMinn counties, the planters real
izing from SIS to 800 per acre from
their cotton crops. If Polk and Nc
MINI counties can produce cotton
profitably, there is no reason why
Warren and adjoining counties should
not do likewise.

A BILL is now before the Legisla-
ture to build four prisons in different
parts of the State and to utilize the
convicts in working the public roads.
If the any practical plan of. work.
ing the convicts on the roads can be
devised, a multiplicity of prisons will
certainly oe advantageous, and for
sanitary reasons smaller prisons
would also be preferable. We hope
the present Legislature will find some
solution to the problem.

THE executive Committee of the
Tennessee Press Association have
sent a communication to the General
Assembly stating that the existing
law on legal advertising is the most
satisfactory that can probably be Sc
cured, and asking that body not to
make any changes in the law. This
action of the Committee was in res
ponse to complaints from nearly
every paper in the state over the bill
which passed the House proposing to
place the fee for nonresident notices
at the uniform price of $500, which
would be manifestly unjust. Our
solons have plenty to do without
throwing away any time trying to
beat the printers. The fees atpresent
are reasonable enough, and the law
should be allowed to stand unchang-
cd.

The skating carnival, at Reaney's

tised, and was well attended. A goodly
number were masked and the costumes
were we'll chosen. 1t was rather diff
cult task for the judges to decide which
were the best sustained characters, as
there were several who did equally well.
The prizes were awarded as follows:
Best sustained lady character, Lennie
Williamson, as little school girl; sec
ond. Mrs. Gates, washer woman; third,
Miss Oberholtzer, blind organ-grlnder.
Best sustained gentleman character,
Wardie Hill, as little dude; second,
Murray Kirkwood, miner; third, Joe
AIIphin, clown. Will FAIR as an Indian
and VIM. Newton as dude, were espec-
tally good. The event wound up by an
exhibition in bicycle riding by F. T.

BOARD OF TRADE.-Pursuant to the
published call, the citizens met in Stew
arts hall, (Reaney's hall being engaged
for the purpose of taking steps toward
organizing board of trade. Mr.. E. II.
Letterman was elected chairman, and
W. V. Windus secretary. On motion it
was decided to organize, and that the
organization be known as the Pullman
Board Of Trade, and that each one who
joins the organization be required to
pay an initiation fee of one dollar to
create fund for advertising purposes.
NJ. S. Phillips, W. V. Windus, Vim.
Newton and Thomas NELL, were appoint
ed by the chair as a committee on con-
stitution and by laws, and D. G. Munroe,
NJ. s. Phillips and J. T. Lobaugh were
appointed committee to solicit members.
The meeting then adjourned to meet
within ten days, on the call of the COM
mittees. 1t appears that quite a num-
Der of our citizens do not understand the
purposes Of this organization Briefly
stated they are these: to induce manu-
featuring enterprises to locate here; to
get new business enterprises in Pullman;
to interest capitalists in our town; to
secure our share of the emigration to
Washington territory this spring and
to do all that will benefit Pullman and
vicinity. If properly managed, much
benefit will result from it and every one
interested in the welfare of our town and
county, should become member and
thus do their part toward good cause.

The obit of the town mule occurred
on Sunday night. While he could not
boast of his ancestry, and of necessity
left no progeny, yet he is missed by
those who were accustomed to see his

who mortgaged him when they had
nothing else to mortgage. An autopsey
showed that he died OF broken heart,
caused by carrying too many chattel
mortgages.

for living and business purposes, he
would like to locate here and open first

Obituary..
drug store

This community was shocked last
Monday afternoon by the announcement
of the sudden death of d. II. Reed. Last
Saturday he was on the streets, and
although not feeling well there was no
indication of serious illness. Sunday,
and Sunday night, he was very sick and
Monday the doctors pronounced him in
a dangerous condition and in the mid
die of the afternoon he was dead. The
cause of his death seemed to be heart
trouble. Funeral services were held at
his late residence, on Wednesday at
2 o'clock p. m. and the remains inferred
in the Pullman cemetery. Mr. Reed
was about 81 years of age, native of
Wisconsin, and came to the coast about
years ago. He was employed by the
Champion Machine Co. until the spring
of 1887, when he entered the employ OF
Mitchell, Lewis & Co., OF Portland, as
travelling salesman, which position he
held until March, 1888, at which time he
associated himself with Mr.. Prentis IN
der the firm name of Reed & Prentis,
and engaged in the agricultural nipple
ment business at this place. He was an
upright, honorable man and was highly
esteemed, both in social and business
circles. By his death Pullman loses one
of her most worthy citizens, and Mrs
Reed kind and loving husband. In hel
sad hour she has the deepest sympathy
of community, who, with her, fee
their great loss.

Monday night, at Lew Johnson's Black

anteed 800. The troupe would not
take the chances themselves, and rather
than not have them play here, Mr..
Reaney obligated himself for the above
amount, relying on the people to help
him out. If we want good shows we
must patronize those that come. The

was a great surprise to his relatives and

Sunday evening from Mrs. Haaick, she
expressed confidence in his speedy recov-
cry. The remains were inferred at Van
couver. AS soon as Mrs Haaick can
settle her affairs she and her little child
will make their home at her parents.
She has the sympathy of this community
in her affection.

ton that Senator Butler has introduced
in the Senate a bill to authorize the
county commissioners of Whitman coun-
ty, W. T., to issue bonds and to build
a court house and jail, and to sell and
acquire real estate for that purpose
The commissioners are authorized by the
bill to borrow such sums of money, not
exceeding 100000, as they shall deem
necessary, at rate of interest not ex-
ceeding 6 per cent, and to issue bonds
of the county for the amount. Interest
on the bonds is to be paid semi-annually
The bill, which is doubtless the out
growth of recent grand jury reports, viii
be published as soon as copy comes to
hand.
