Ting infancy, and llsped IN chlldnoods prayers.
1t should be instilled into every youthful mind,
and sounded in the ears of every school-boy and
schoolgirl in this broad land. 1t should be in
scrbed on our door posts and lintes, preached
from the pulpit and from the BENCH and sounded
eternally in the ears Of young and old
NoToRlErY is one of the cheapest commodities
this present age has to offer. Next to being dis
tnguished for virtues, and conspicuous for eecen-
trictes, observation prompts one to regard being
notorious for vices as one plane higher up than
being regarded as a nonentity. This scale is,
however, decidedly secular and not at all to be
recommended.
To forward an unpopular cause, be ii ever SO
moral, wins for man the denomination, notorious,
quite as though the cause were in the interest of
immortality.
When the woman question first put in an ap-
pearance, courageous men were not in the arena OF
action, and the few women who dared espouse it
were looked upon and alluded to in manner that
could not do other than brand them notorious.
Where their character was unimpeachable they
were clearly considered insane. But just as other
unpopular questions of the day, in -the-eauee Of.
humanity have lived to establish themselves and
be recognized in the light of truth, so the woman
question has been advancing, moving steadily on
to the goal so long foretod.
Not many years ago it was, that the pulpit, it
wished to make itself conspicuous, had only to up
hold the advancement of woman.
Now, with woman herself in the pulpit, COM
petng for intellectual honors in the colleges and
exhibiting capabilty in many of the fields of labor
hitherto closed to her, the pulpit, whose occupant
lifts his voice against her, becomes the cynosure of
all eyes, more of whom disapprove than otherwise.
The target of old in whose bulls eye was writ
ten, "Enfranchsement of Woman" advance
ment of the World" is no longer in its accus-
toned place. The arrows that still fly toward it,
are lost in space The bulps-eye is no more but
the archer, left behind in the great onward march
of progress knows it not, and the shafts from his
quiver of conventionaity are gathered in at that
bourne from which they never return. His dis
tinction as an archer is lost and he wonders at it,
In the meantime another target has been erected.
In the bull's-eye is written;
"Servtude,"
Organism"
"Unequal Pay for Equal Work"
''Taxation Without Representation,
And while the archer of old is wondering why he
is NO longer conspicuous for his skill, new archers
have sprung up and the new target is full of ar
rows and the fame of the archer is spreading
abroad. The mantle of notoriety has dropped on
the archer who continues to aim his weapons at
space, and the world moves on.

MANY and various are the occupations that
woman is making for herself, and where there are
so many carpng and critical as to what she should
and=what she should ~ gn.- here is a new, venture
to which none, but dressmakers can object. In
one of the Eastern cities a woman of experience
and taste advertses that she has opened rooms for
those who wish TO make their own dresses. She
instructs them how to drape, cut and make their
own material into pretty, stylish garments, at
prices that are within the reach of all This re-
calls to mind the experience of friend, who
bought serviceable piece of goods for two dollars,
and was forced to pay twelve for the making of it
into a dress, when, if she could have had little
instruction, such the above, she would not have
had to pay six times what the material cost for the
making.

THERE is no deeper concern to the State than
the matter of education and the proper training of
the youth. Legislation in its efforts to protect
society confines its diligence too exclusively to
watching for and Furnishing crime. The legisla-
lures willing to appropriate millions of dollars
to erect large and imposing prisons, and as soon as
the edifce is completed there are plenty whose
business it is to 60 about catching the criminals to
fill it. This done, the State is entitled to good
night sleep, with clear conscience. The gen.
eral impression seems to be that the business of
governments is the looking up, Handwriting and
strangling of crime; but few are the efforts made
to prevent crime, by informing the mind and ele-
waiting the moral sense Of the people. The great
est need of the age is more thorough system of
industrial moral training

New Supreme Clerk.

1t isn't often that the supreme court
springs q sensation, but it broke the
rule last Friday.
Thomas G. Latimore, of Chattanoo-
ga, was elected clerk of the court to
succeed Capt. E. G. Reeves. The bar
expected Capt. Reeves to be reelected
and Capt. Reeves himself was conf
dent Of reelection. Capt. Reeves
term of Office had expired by limita-
ton.
Capt. Reeves has made an excellent
officer and has won the confidence and
esteem of all the large army of lawyers
TO practice at the bar. He was capable
and had hundreds OF friends in all parts
Of East Tennessee. He will probably
resume the practice of the law at his
old home, johnson City, where he has
large landed interests.
Mr.. Latimore, his successor, is a tai
ented young lawyer of Chattanooga
and has good practice in lower Eas
Tennessee. He was born on farm
in Monroe county, how many years
age we are afraid to say.
The office will be turned over to hin
Just as soon as Captain Reeves can ar
range his affairs.-Journal.

The East Tennessee road is doing an
enormous business, the largest in its
history. The business can be seen to
be great when it is known that for en-
gineers alone the company pays $22,
600 a month. The engines are very
large, and the pay OF one engineer
represents a big tonnage pulled by his
engine.
The E, T., V. &. G. r. R. is making
an effort to purchase the Tellico rail-
road. Upon this important deal hinges
the erection OF our new depot. If the
East Tennessee folks succeed in get =
ting this road, a new depot will be
built, and q perfect beauty it will be.
This is straight tip from a reliable
source, and you can place this in your
hat for future reference Athens

The East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia Railroad will, in the next few
days, receive from the Mcqueen loco
motive works, twenty-five brand new
engines to add to their already large
amount Of motive power. Seven of
the engines are to be the standard
class for passenger service, with feet
s inch driving wheels, and lSx24
cylinders. Two OF them are to be
switch engines, and the other thir-
teen will be Of the consolidated type.
With this number of engines added to
the present number, the East Tennes
see, Virginia and Georgia will be in a
fair shape to handle the immense
amount of business that will rush in
upon them at the commencement of
cold weather.

THE INCURABLE CURED.
A Remarkable Statement from a Well
Known Citizen Of South
Carolina.

Cancer is hereditary in my family,

from this dreadful disease In each
instance the cancer was located
in identically the same position
that mine fisrt made its appearance
Just below the left eye and extending
down the left cheek bone and nose. /

but the case continued to grow worse
under their treatment, and no hope OF
cure could be given by them they
said 81 had better have my affairs
for this life and the next arranged, for
the cancer was liable to strike vital
organ at any moment, and at once
bleed me to death About this time,
1886, l met with Mr.. Shirley, living
near Due West, whose cancer was be-
ing rapidly cured by using Swift's Spe-
cifc Is. S. s. then gave up the doc
tors and all medicines / had heretofore
been using, and commenced taking S.
S. S., and after taking the third bottle,
/ discovered that the scab had fallen
off, and that those sharp, darting pains,
SO Characteristic OF the cancer, had
ceased, and the discharge was very
profuse. In few days il began to heal
rapidly and soon dried up. BY the
time / had exhausted the fifth bottle
there was nothing left but the scar,
where the cancer had been, and was
well man. The cure effected in my
case is considered by my pejghbors 8
most remarkable one, and clearly de-
monstrates the fact that S. s. S. DOES
! CURE CANCER. Swift's Specific is
a boon to suffering humanity, and all
! ask is, that those afflicted with can
Ger give it a trial, and, like myself, be
convinced Of its virtues.

The WHY and Wherefore.

Everything goes in politics, and it is
often the office-holder. The selection
of new clerk by the Supreme Court
has caused something of sensation
and no little comment among the le-
gal profession of East Tennessee.
The selection of Charles Latimore,
OF Chattanooga, to succeed E. G.
Reeves reveals the fact that there has
been some wire-working with barb
ed.edge consistency.
1t will be remembered that some
time since Hon. r. L. Taylor was q
candidate for Governor. In that race
E. G.. Reeves was opposed to Bob's
election for reasons he thought we're
were good.
The Taylor attorneys in East Ten
nessee thought the opposition of
Reeves ought not to be forgotten.
They selected ]. B. Shipley, of Jones'
boro, as the man suitable to succeed
Mr.. Reeves as clerk. For months
every effort possible has been made to
bring Reeves into disfavor with the
court and secure his ousting.
Judge Turney, who was n friend of
Reeves, asked the latter to apply for
reelection, and insisted upon it, Mr..
Reeves, while not over-anxious to CON
tinuo holding the place, was willing to
hold on if so desired
In the meantime Judges Snodgrass,
Fowlkes, Sutton and Caldwell had de-
cided upon Latimore, and upon the
expiration of Reeves time were solid,
and Chief Justice Turney was in u
helpless minority. The Judges say
they have nothing against Reeves but
prefer another clerk.
The result seems to have been a
well-laid scheme of Judge Snodgrass
to look little out for his own locality
and be in shape for future contingent
cies.-Journal.

gave earnest endorsement He begged
all old soldiers to use their influence
with Congressmen and Senators and
State Legislators to further the inter

hand-shaking followed between the
old soldiers, 1000 of whom were in and
about the tent. Adjournment was then

ga, where permanent organization will

of Chattanooga, assisted by citizens Of
Rome. 1t is estimated that 15, 900 will
be present, and ample provision has
been made for all. Chattanooga has
received the greatest possible praise
for the admirable manner in which
the tremendous crowd now in the city
has been handled and cared for.

GOLDEN EAGLE SHOT.
A Mammoth Bird Killed In the
PInkbedB.

While Mr.. Thomas Chase was out
hunting with his dogs the other day in
the Pinkbeds, a golden eagle and his
mate few over him. He fired the con-
tents of his shot gun at them, and one
fell to the fround with its wing broken.
The dogs rushed furiouslv upon it, but
were driven back by the infuriated bird,
and several of them were seriously in
jured. Mr.. Chase then gave it the con-
tents of the second barrel and killed it
outright. He then skinned it and sold it
to Mr.. n. W. Fain, the taxidermist, who
lives at 73 Academy street. The latter will
stuff it and send it on to Mr.. Scott who
lives at Tarpon, Florida. This is the
third bird of this species which has ever
been shot in this vicinity. Two of these
belong to Mr.. Fam, and one to Mr..
Cairns, the proprietor of the wooden
mills at Weaverville. This eagle measured
three feet, four inches, from the beak to
the tip Of its tail, as it Law on the floor oi
THE CITIZEN office, and seven feet and
one inch from tip to tip ofits wings
Each Of its claws was four inches and a
quarter in length. Very few birds
measure more than seven feet and hall
and the next largest bird, killed uear
here, measured only siI feet and two
inches.

Poor House Marriage.

Man is never too poor to marry. At
least that is what D. c. Freeman and
Susan Higgins thought, for they
came directly from the poor house to the
clerks Office, where Squire Israel married
them. and then returned to it. Brief and
short was their wedding journey. But
they ciasped hands when they were mar,
ried and did not release their hold all the
way down Main street. Perhaps that
grip is still unbroken, tor fear that with.
out it the ceremony might become null
and void. The squire's fee was paid by
contributions from the bystanders. After
the ceremony the squire was ungallant
enough to sail away without exacting
toll from the bride.

THE DOLLS RECEPTION.
Dolls Old, Dolls Young, Dole Ugly
and Dolls Pretty.

The dolls reception that was held in
the old postofficc was quite success.
Everybody was there, even Old Mother
Goose attended the feast and brought
with her a bran pie. 1t took just one
nickle to make grab into that pie and
draw out whatever you were lucky
enough to catch hold OF. You were sure
to get something, even ifit was only
handful of bran. The old woman that
lived in the shoe wheeled her babies
around the room. They were swarming
in and over the shoe, and it only took a
small sum to secure one of them. The
booths were very prettily decorated and
testooned with flags and wreathed in
holly and spruce. Oysters were served
in all styles, and the seductive aroma oil
the coffee filled the room. At one end of
the room was large Christmas tree,
and near at hand was booth filed with
elaborate specimens of embroidery and
art work. The exhibition of dolls was
very amusing. The arrangement of the
competitors for prizes in picturesque
groups added to the effect. The gro
tesque, the beautiful and the antique
stood side by side, inviting inspection.
There was "Old Nanny" who was
born in 1897. She won the prize for the
oldest doll, and was originally made by
Mrs. K. NJ. Furman's grandmother.
"Susana," aged 80 years, seven months,
owned by Mrs. +. X. Olive, and Mary
Munzon," aged 40, pushed her pretty
hard. But she was the veteran and won
a mouchoir case, made of Japanese
handkerchiefs. The bisque doll of Miss
Francis Troy won the prize for beauty,
and Miss Bonnie Jean Johnston sent in
doll which had no competitors in the
line of ugliness and won that prize in a
canter.
