At The Churches.

Rev. Kaull, preached at the M. E.
Church. The text, 1st John iii.l3,
"Marvel not, my brethren if the
world hate YOU" This subject
brought out what the Christian
must do to commend the religion of
the Lord Jesus Christ to an unbe-
lieving world. It must transform

less. It would have been welt fUai
every church member to have heard
the sermon. 1t was thoroughly
practical.
The Epworth League met for an
evening service at the M. E, Church.
The exercises were by The young
people. A number of young gentle
men and ladies spoke or recited
passages of scripture. The subject
was faith in Christ, and the prOmis-
es to them who accept him rs their
Saviour.
Rev. Bassett preached on the
subject of the conversion of the
eunuch as given in the eighth chap
ter of Acts. This shows two impor-
tant matters: first, the interest that
the Christian has in the conversion
of sinners, and second, the great de-
sire Of the eunuch to accept Christ
as his Saviour. and when convinced
his anxiety to obey the commands
of the gospel which he was study
ing when Philip joined him in his
chsriot ride. No sinner when con-
WINGED of the truth and benefits of
the gospel, should remain out of the
church day, but should embrace
the first opportunity to acknowl-
edge the Saviour, as there is danger
In delay.

Resolution OF Endorsement.

A. B. McTeer Post No. 80, G. A.
r. Department Of Tennessee, met
in their rooms ut EIlejoy, Tenn,
Jan. 18th, 1890, and unanimously
adopted the following resolutions:
Resolved, That we heartily en-
dorse the appeal of our co'nrade,
General Alvin P. Hovey, President
of the Service Pension Association
of the United States, demanding of
Congress the passage Of a service
pension law for all surviving Union
soldiers of the late war. Our coun-
try is in an era Of unparalleled pros
perity; the National Treasury is
overflowing; we are at peace with
ourselves and the whole world
our form of government is made
secure in the affections of the PEG.
pie, and the Union has been cemen-
ted by the blood of our comrades.
All this is due to the patriotism Of
the Boys in Blue. After the lapse
of so many years since peace was
declared between the states, the
remaining defenders Of the Union
are broken in health, many ruined
in fortune, and more are invalids
from wounds, disease and exposure
A service pension is due them, and
not as pittance to paupers. Such
a pension was given to the sur.
vivers of the Revolutionary war
the war of 1912 and the Mexican
war, and by all that is right and
just nothing less should be given
those who preserved our gloriou:
Union: therefore
Resolved, That We join our com
rade, General Alvin P. Hovey, In

Mr.. NEFF:-I see in your last
issue that you recommend the AL
liancec Ompany to build a steam
mill at Maryville instead of pur-
chasing my water power. Now as
far as myself is concerned l am OPP
posed to the steam power on &C.
count of its being more expensive
than water power. In the first
place it costs about a thousand dol
lars to get a tOiler and then it takes
about three dollars day to furnish
coal; say 500 days $500. Then it
takes a man to put the coal in for
a year which is $500 more which is
$500; and secondly it is not as safe
as regards fire and explosion.
About every 18th or 18th boiler ex-
plodes and bursts the whole thing
and more, kills from two to five

To The Public,

AS a matter of justice to myself
l wish to inform the public that I
have had no intention of Sinking
any pecuniary liability that may
have been contracted by me. That
while have been unfortunate in
my business as agent of the Singer
Sewing Machine Co., / have not
attempted in any respect to dis
honestly rid myself of any liability.
That the said Company has been
secured all the while by my bonds
men, and my bondsmen are also
fully secured against loss for any
amount they have been held liable
to the Company for. 1 hope the
people of Blount county with whom
l have been raised will not accept
reports put in circulation to iniure
my character, as true until the
facts as to my intentions and Dur.
poses are fully known.
Respectfully,
j. B. MCCLURE.

men. You say you want the mill

want to furnish my own county
with -four. You speak of hauling
the wheat and -four. I am for fur
nishing my own county five or six
pounds of flour to the bushcl more
than the steam power can possibly
do, give my neighbors 40 pounds to
the bushel, and they will come Is
miles to the mill; 1 would insure
we would not have one bushel to
haul for grinding, we would furnish
our neighbor 600 pounds of -four
more than the steam power which
would be helping our own county
people, and we could almost sell
all our -four at home If We would
give that much lower. Maryville
would come out five miles to get
-four lower. It would not need any
capital to run the mill if we had
some surplus -four we could haul
some to Maryville when we want
ed salt or plaster or store goods. I
would advise to have q store to sell
cheap and get the custom. I am
for Blount county; I was born in it
So years ago and tried to help the
county 60 years and want to still
aid the county by giving the people
six hundred pounds of -four to
every hundred bushels of wheat,
which would help the farmers very
much and the lawyers and doctors
and all professional men in proper
ton to the same ratio cheaper.
Our water power is sufficient to
run a roller mill, cabinet mill and
some other machinery.

years fortunes have been made
often times with the stroke of the
pen. Most of those who have sud-
denly become rich have gained 1t
by large operations in bonds and
stocks, in smashing railroads and
then buying them at nominal
price, in making "corners" in mer-
chandise Of various kinds. The
common opinion that our richest
men have acquired their fortunes
in manufacturing under a protec-
tive tariff and thus taking money
unjustly from the purchasers of
their products, does not correspond
with facts. Our wealthiest men
are not manufacturers. Our ma

ufscturing states. Astors, Goulds.
Huntingdons, Vanderbilts, are not

The wealth of our entire country
has increased so rapidly in the last
thirty years that it excites the Won
der of the world. And if all parts
of the country have felt the inspira-
ton of our protective policy, why
not hold on to it, modifying but
not destroying it?
But we did not go. to New York
to study the machinery of trade;
we went to see two Musical Halls
and hear them resound with bass
viols, violincellos, violins, Comets,
kettle-drums, pianos, and what is
grander than all, with we'll cult
waited human voices. And we
heard them all: voices by the hun.
dreds, orchestras of one hundred
performers. On the great stages in
Opera halls were hundreds in the
most gorgeous costumes magma.

The great Metropolitan Opera
House on Broadway, New York
where we went so many nights, is
not Theater, though built in the
same general style. A Theater is
the place for acting, an Opera
house is for singing; and yet each
can be used for either purpose.
The Opera house We visited had
five tiers, three of which contained
private boxes or stalls holding six
or eight persons. About 1900 car
be seated in this one hall. 1t il

burn down. An alarm of fire in
the building need not create a pan

Captain Hale,

siderable talk In circulation to, the
effect that the people of Blount
county will not favor the re election
Of any Of the present incumbenss.
Who it is that is 20 much dissatis-
lied We are not able to learn. II
may be only those who would like
to fill their places or the defeated
Office seekers of the past. Not that
they have any charges of incompe-
tency, immortality or dishonesty TO-
bring against them. No, nothing
Of that sort. 1t is because there is
no use In keeping one set of fellows
In for life. In effect they say kick
them out, that our sons, brothers
and uncles may have chance
That will do If the Offices were cre-
ated only to give employment to
some of the political workers in
power; but as the motive creating
them has a greater significance,
and as our county offices are filed \
with men of experience and f..
every way well qualified, without i
a faint of immortality or dishonesty
against them, we ask the question,
would 1t not be bad policy to ex-
change them for something that
has not been tried in the harness.
Is it not right and proper that cred.
1t should be given to a man or men.
