of the farmers in Tennessee do this.
Merchants, mechanics, laborers in
factories, and all classes of usiness
men in towns and cities work twelve
months in the year, and any farmer
who does likewise and brings any
reasonable degree Of judgment
to bear in the management of
his affairs, can live well and have
money to spare every year. There
are hundreds of farmers into whose
homes a newspaper never enters.
They say they are too poor to sub.
scribe for a paper; yet they spend
many dimes and dollars every year
in whisky saloons. This class always

may join. Farmers organizations
are good, and we commend them, but

work for twelve months in the yeal

the ledger.

Hon. John R. Meals Death.

CHATTANOOGA, March 29.-Col.
John r. Neal, ex-COngreSsman from
this district in the Fiftieth Congress,
died today at his home in Rhea
Springs, Rhea county, of consump-
ton of the bowels. Col. Neal had
been in bad health for year and has
been confined to his bed for six
weeks. The news of his death was
received here with expressions of pro-
found sorrow. The funeral will prob
ably not take place before Thursday.
John Randolph Neal was born in
Anderson county, Tennessee, Nov.
26, 1899. When quite young he re-
moved with his parents to McMinn
county, where he resided until the
war closed, when he returned to
Roane county, teaching school there
for two years, when he returned tC
Rhea Springs where has resided since
He was a graduate of Emory and
Henry College in Virginia in 1858
and read law with his brother Judge
Neal. He was in the Confederate
army as a private soldier and was
shortly after elected captain in the
company in which he enlisted, ant
in 1862 he was elected Lieutenan
Colonel of sixteenth Confederate Cav
airy. Afterwards he commanded thu
First Confederate Legion, composed
of his own and the Twelfth Cavalry
In 1874 he was elected Representa-
tive in the lower house of the Stat,
Legislature from Rhea. Meigs, Cum
berland and James counties. In 1877
he was elected State Senator from tn
Chattanooga District, and was elected
Speaker of the same. In 1880 he wa
District Elector for Hancock ant
English, and in 1886 he was nomi
mated and elected as member O
Congress from the Third Compression
al District. Col. Neal became one O
the strongest men in the district
though in his first campaign he wa
almost defeated because of the luke
warmness of his supporters. Hi
next canvass was brilliant one, ant
his record in Congress is unimpeach
able, both for integrity and ability.

fairs is largely due to old fogyism in
the County Court no one who gives
the question serious thought can fail
to see. If the same public spirit
which characterizes our municipal
government could be brought to oper-
ate in the County Court, there would
be such waking up and forging ahead
of Warren county as would astOnish
not only our own people, but the
whole State as well.
The prejudice existing in the minds
Of great many country people
against the town is radically wrong.
1t operates much more largely to
the disadvantage Of the country peo-
pie than to those of tie town. BY
reason Of this silly prejudice country
people deny themselves many bene-
fits and public improvements simply
because the town may be benefited
to some extent. In the matter of
bridges through the Countrywide the
town will receive large benefits, yet
the country people will receive a vast
deal more, and at the same time the
town will pay by far the greatest pro-
portion OF the tax. The people of
McMinnville will submit cheerfully
to their portion of the tax necessary
for public Improvements in any part
Of the county. Now let the country
people manifest this same spirit, and
see to it that their magistrates govern
themselves accordingly, and we will
soon have one of the grandest cOun-
ties in Tennessee.
Seek for the most prosperous farm
ers in this State, those whose lands
have the greatest value and who are
getting the best returns for their labor
and products. They are to be found
only in those counties having good
roads and good bridges.
Most Of the Northern people who
have settled in Warren county come
from counties where they have good
roads and bridges, and they appre-
ciate them. We venture the asser-
ton that not half a dozen Northern
men can be found in the county who
will oppose bridge tax.
"A tax Of 10 cents on the hundred
dollars, for five or six years, will
build all the bridges Warren county
needs. The bridges will increase
property values in the county ten
fold their cost. Certainly every
man in the county who has
any desire for his own or his
neighbours prosperity ought to be
willing to pay this small tax and
work heartily for the measure.
If the members of the County Court
want to build enduring monuments
to their good sense, judgement and
enterprise, let them vote this tax
Monday. The people of the county
will heartily sustain them in it. Only
get the work started, and they vii
never want to turn back. One goot
bridge will show the people the ser
vice and benefits to be derived from
them, and they will be more thar
willing to continue the work unit
we have them at every place needed
in the county.

FARMERS ORGANIZATIONS.

This organization and another known

ally the Times gets up some very
striking and unique features in journ-

sue of last Wednesday. \ vote was
taken in Chattanooga Wednesday on
a proposition to bond the city for IA
large sum for the purpose of building
streets and sewers, which, by the
way, are very much needed in Chat
tanooga. ON the four outside pages
of the Times of that morning were
printed in large red letters such mot
toes as make this ChattanOoga's red

and sewers" These notices filled up
the pages, and the usual matter OF
the paper was printed over them in
black. 1t is a fine advertising scheme,
as it instantly catches the eye OF
every reader.

either shutting down altogether,
