THE Pearl Button Factory at this place
is steadily growing and in the course of
a couple of years it will be one of the
most important industries of the city. At
present about II persons are employed,
not one of whom had any knowledge
of the business before beginning work
IN the factory at this place. There
are but few pearl button factories in this
country. The foreman of the factory. who
lis also one of the proprietors, Mr.. Sheam-
ack, learned his trade IN Europe and he
has had to instruct every operator in
the factory. The material from which
the buttons are made is mother-of-pearl,
annd strange as it may seem, is brought
here from England. The whole product
of the factory is sold in New York

The State Executive Committee

II the State Democratic Executive
Committee intends to pursue the
clam policy of last year, the quicker
the members resign and give us a
new deal the better. The rank and
file of the party are in no humor for
foolishness, and it matters not what
one or a dozen committees say, the
fight is on aud true Democracy will
be- heard from.-Obion Democrat.
Certainly it does. The clam policy
was clearly marked out and defined
at the late meeting OF the committee.
Mcdowell and his Governor decided
on that policy some time ago, and
what do you suppose Farmer Tom,
the Judge, statesman and Baptist
and several old granny statesmen
were there for, but TO attend to the
business of the Oiler and the Cover
nor? Not one has any thought or
dream of resigning until Democracy
takes such action rs will convince
them that new deal must be had.

TAKE WARNING,
A Tax of Six Gents on Tobacco Twisted
BY Hand.

Every few days an account OF how
some loose tobacco dealer got him
self into trouble by selling tobacco
without paying the tax gets into
print. The Louisville Commercial a
few days ago among other matter on
the subject, printed the following:
"Mr. Hawkins, a revenue agent,
also discovered that A. J. Peeler, OF
Sharon Grove, Todd county. has
been selling twisted leaf tobacco
without paying the special tax. He
has sold 1890 pounds, and as there is
a tax of six cents on the pound
Peeler owes the government 1858
Peeler consulted a lawyer and was
told there was no tax. As
he had no intention of defrauding
the government Revenue Agent
Eastman will collect $500 taxes due
as a lesson to Others"
Continuing on this, the Western
Tobacco Journal has the following,
which all such dealers should cut out
and paste in their hats:
1.-THE Revised Statutes, as amend
ed, impose a tax of six cents per
pound on all tobacco twisted by hand
or reduced from leaf into a condition
to be consumed, or in any manner
other than the ordinary drying and
curing, prepared for sale and con.
sumption, even if prepared without
the use of any machine or instru.
ment, and without being pressed or
sWeetened.
"The law does not require that
there shall be any radical change in
the natural leaf, or any extended
mode of preparation or any process
of reduction which cannot be per.
formed by. hand and without the aid
of any machine or instrument.
Therefore, all tobacco twisted by
hand, or prepared by any process,
however simple, for consumption or
use, must be prescribed by law for
manufacture d tobacco, and the tax of
six cents per pound paid thereon.
"The law imposes 'on all refuse
scraps, clippings, cuttings and sweep
ings of tobacco, tax of six cents per
pound.' Therefore, all scraps,
waste, clippings, etc., put up for
general sale and thrown upon the
market for indiscriminate purchasers
for use of consumption, will be re-
garded as manufactured tobacco
within the meaning and intent of
the law, and will be required to be
packed as therein described, and the
tax of six cents per pound paid
thereon. And any person purchas-
ing scraps, waste, clippings, stems,
sweepings or broken and fragmentary
tobacco, and manipulating the same
by any process of cutting, pressing,
grinding, crushing, rubbing, screen
ing or any other process, or putting
up the same for use or consumption,
will be held to be manufacturer OF
tobacco, and any person who pur
chases raw or leaf tobacco and in any
way changes its condition and puts
it up for use or consumption, will be
held liable as a tobacco manufacture

for the erection of lasting, beautiful
and appropriate monument to our
dear, dead Confederate soldiers and
to the principles to maintain which
they devotedly gave their courage,
their fortitude and their precious
lives. A monument should be
raised worthy of this section aud of
yourselves, and using the words of
an address already issued to you
from Forbes EivOuac: at should
not only be an enduring testimony
of our love, affection and grateful re-
membrane of their unselfish devo-
ton and glorious death, but one that
will be an object lesson to our chill.

the true causes that led to that fear

prompted our people to peril their
fortunes and sacrifice their lives"

thrown open free of tolls and ferri
ages, and with reduced railroad
fares. Come one and all, a hearty

to look up persons who may have n
shadow of ia claim for a pension. Their
cases are promptly taken up and
put in the mill, worked anil dressed
up with all the necessary evidence to
make them go through, and when
the pension is secured these agents
work on the credulity of the pension
ers until they get away with the
greater part Of the money.
OF course there are very few white
people in this section who were in
the Federal army, or are entitll d

these enterprising pension agents is
among the negroes.

The Industrious agents who swarm
around GAINESVILLE soon worked up
her case and secured the pension, the
back pay amounting so, $50. The check
was sent to Louisville to be forwarded
to her from there, which put it out
of the reach of the GAINESVILLE agents,
and something had to be done. The
scheme resorted to was to have her
moved to this place and provided for
in such way as they would be able to
handle the old woman's money for
her. A number of the old negroes
white family found out what was up,
and promptly wrote to Lawyer Hugh
Gholson to take the matter in hand
and have guardian appointed.
Gholson found that the money would
have to be transferred to a bank in
this place, showing that she had
effects in this county, before guar
dian could be appointed. The VAN
pires were at loss to know how to
get their clutches on the money, and
all agreed that Gholson should be
appointed her agent and attorney to
order the money here. " This ewas
done, and jury was appointed to
pass on the old negro's sanity. She
was audged insane or an idiot,and Mr..
Gholson was qualified under a bond
for $4,000, as guardian. But before
this could be done her good friends
induced the old woman to give them
checks for $3.50 of the money, leaving
her $1,000 in bank.

Uncle Sans Golfers. He has only
himself and wife in family, and yet
he is reported at half starvation before
the end of each month. There are
many larger families that live well
on half that sum, and yet Alex. can
hardly survive. 1t is said that the
vampires swarm around him, giving
friendly aid in spending this money
to their best advantage. Johnson is
not an idiot, but he is blind and that
makes him helpless, and he also de-
serves to have a guardian to receive
