The Maryville times. (Maryville, Tenn.) 1884-1944, 1893-08-16

reader OF the TIMES, called last
week and had us move the date of
the expiration of his subscription up
one year.
A. X. Harper paid us one dollar
and fifty cents on back subscription
last week. II all who are behind
would come up and do likewise we
would be a few hundred dollars bet
ter off. Who will be the next?
Last week Miss Francis Magill,
one of Maryville's most estimable
young ladies, and Mr.. Joseph E.
Johnson, were united in marriage.
We wish the young couple long life
and much happiness.
Cal Stevens, one of the little men
of our county, but with great big
heart, gave us a silver dollar to ap-
ply on his subscription Monday.
He is one of a large number who
have said they are well pleased with
the paper in its present shape.
A pleasant way to spend next
Friday ssevening after 1880 o'clock
will be to attend the Epworth
League entertainment at the M. e.
Church. A good program will be
presented. Special preparation for
some good singing by some members
of the Junior League.
Mr.. Rufus Pate, Of Clover Hill,
had business in town last Wednes-
day and while here he decided to
mix a little pleasure with the bust
ness so he called at this Office and
had chat with us and before he left
he added to our pleasure by paying
for the TINES for another year.
Our correspondents will please be
careful about mentioning men as
candidates for any Of the county
offices. If they wish to be announ-
ced they can come around and by
paying the usual price have their
name and what they wish to say in
prominent place. We are not
willing to announce anyone who is
unwilling to pay.
J. P. Duncan, one of Blount
County's most prosperous farmers,
says that the farmers have plenty to
eat, but no money and not much
prospect of getting any as they can
get nothing for what they have
raised. When asked what the town
people who had raised nothing
should do, he advised us all to 60
out in the country and visit our old
friends. Old friends might get tired
of their guests before the present
Democratic Administration goes out.
Many men think that newspaper
men are persistent dunners. By
the way of comparison let us sup
pose that farmer raises 1000 bush
els of wheat year, and sells this to
1000 persons in all parts of the
country, great portion of them
saying: 81 will hand you this in a
short time" The farmer does not
want to be small, and says all right.
Soon the 1000 bushels are gone, but
he>has nothing to show for it, and
he then realizes that he has fooled
away his whole crop and its value to
him is due in thousand little drib-
lets consequently he is seriously en-
barrassed in his business, because
his debtors, each owing him one dol.
lar treat it as q small matter, and
think it would not help much. Con-
tinue this kind of business year in
and year out as the publisher does,
how long would he stand it? A
moments thought is enough to con-
vince anyone that a publisher has
cause for persistent dunning. Ma
tional Tribune.
Mr.. N. L. Hastings, proprietor Of
the Maryville Wagon Factory, has
always proved himself one of the
very best friends of the TIMES by
words of encouragement land words
of praise when he thought praise
due. Nor does he stop with mere
words but he has always shown that
he was as ready to help in a substan-
tial way when he had an opportuni-
ty. Last week we placed two dol
