EMBREVTLLE.

Perhaps a few notes from this pro-
gressive little mountain town would be
of interest to the many readers of the
Herald and Tribune, which under its
present management has become quite
a newsy weekly. We bespeak for this
paper ever greater achievements in
the future, and hope by the strenuous
efforts OF the editor in chief that it will
surpass any weekly paper in this part
OF the State.
Our town has been rather quiet since
the first OF the year, but With the open
ing OF spring a new life will spring up
and set it to whirling again in the busy
world.
The work of repairing the furnace is
being pushed rapidly to completion,
and its managers hope to have it in
blast on or before April 10. The stock
house is full of ore, but more room is
being made in which to store quite a
quantity of ore, and when they are
ready to make iron the stock of ore will
be sufficient to run several weeks ii
anything should happen at the mines
to prevent the work from going on.
Every pound of iron made last year
has been sold and most of it delivered.
If nothing happens they want TO run
twelve months without stopping, and
the outlook for ore at present seems in
inexhustible.
The Embreville Iron Company have
purchased q saw mil! and located it ON
Clark 3 creek where they have an i'm.
mense body of timber, which they pro
pose to work into building material.
The outlook for work here this summer
IS very ~flattering and several hundred
hands will be employed.
The extreme cold weather last winter
caused some suffering here from cold
and hunger, but that was the case all
over the country.
This is a very healthy place-only a
few cases of leyer have been vet re
ported.
v e noticed that the Jo~nesboro cor
respondent of the Bristol Courier re
ported three babies in one week. Our
DR.. Bolton has a record that beats that
about three in n day.
We understand hat A. T. Dosser
will move his family to this place.
which will be quite an addition to our
village.
Miss Fannie Long, who has been EN-
ployed as typewriter by the Iron Com
pany, has gone to her home at jackson,
Ohio, for a few weeks visit.
Rev. j. w. Bruce preached here last
Sabbath morning.
Miss Nealie O'Brien, who has charge
of a music class here, went over to En-.
win last Friday to spend a few days
with home folks. Miss Nealie is quite
beautiful and accomplished, but they
say a Young Presbyterian preacher has
a first mortgage on her, so no one else
need apply.
The proposition to build a church al
this place is being agitated and they
hope to have the co operation of al
who are interested in the work. There
is no reason why Embreville should
not be adorned with at least one
church. More anon. ANONYMOUS.

NASHVILLE, March 10, 1893.
The most momentous action of the
Legislature since their reassembling
"a the removal of Ralph Davis from
the Speakers chair, which was done
by a practically unanimous vote. Mr..
Trousdale of Sumner was chosen in his
stead.
Among the new bills introduced was
n by Mr.. West to amend the charter
OF johnson City. A bill OF importance
to Sewer County was passed authoriz
ing the issue of $40, 900 in bonds for the
purpose of building a new courthouse.
When the anti crinoline bill came up
considerable amusement was created
when it was asked whether whether
the bill should be referred to the Mill
tary, Internal Improvement, Public
Road or Retrenchment and Reform
Committee. 1t was finally referred to
the last named. The bill provides for
a fine of five to twenty dollars for
the sale of crinoline within the State.
In the Heuse a number of petitions
regarding alcoholic stimulants, school
books and retail liquor dealers were in
troduced, also six asking that the age
of consent be raised to eighteen years.

Now for the first time since Fort
Sumter was fred upon has the Demo-
cratic party come into entire control of
the Government. All are thoroughly ia
miliar with the promises the successful
party has made as to what they would
do for the relief of a suffering(p) PEG,
pie if they, the Democratic party, were
given control of affairs. Now let us of
a different political faith be charitable
and willing and ready to overlook
faults that may come through lack of
experience, and be satisfied if they do
as well as the Republican party has
since 1t saved the Government and
made the Nation a beacon light to all
the world. The record of the Republic
can party is told in the following glow
ing words uttered by one of the most
eloquent tongues in any land
with the temporary abdication of
power which has resulted from the
election of 1892, the first chapter of the
history of the Republican party is clos
ed. Every page is illumined with the
story of heroic deeds, beneficent meas
ures and mighty men. 1t opens with
the life and career of that immortal &c.

magnetic personality, that brilliant
statesman, that unequalled party lead.

its appliances, great studios and power
houses will occupy nine acres of
ground and the mounting, setting and
surroundings of the production will
cost, in round numbers, about 81, $780,

Steele MacKaye and it is being COM
pieted by The Columbian Celebration
Company. This company is composed
of gentlemen not often heard of in
connection with anything If this kind,
but gentlemen whose m are a
power in every branch of business

P, E. ~Studebaker, Gen. L. A. G. Nc
Clurg. G. L. Hutchinson and others
of ability and power. Those who have
seen the working of the $50, 900 model
tell tales so strange that one can
scarcely believe in the realization of
ideas so entirely beyond the ordinary.

We wish to suggest to the New Hope

they handle Wild Rose, for while it is
a beautiful and lovely flower it often
grows where there are thorns to pierce
your tender flesh, so handle with care.
We learn that Locust Mount will in
the future assume the name of Bache-

MUCH has been said by the papers of
the State on the age of consent ques-
ton, and columns of good advice been
given to u Legislature, yet it seems
as though but little effect has been pro
duced. Why any one should hesitate
to take a bold and advanced stand on
the question we do not understand, and
how II law makers can hesitate to fix
the age at as advanced a period as pos
sible puzzles us. AS the statutes have,
and do still provide, that a mere child
of ten years can lawfully consent to her
Owl ruin is most horrible, it is damna-
BILE, and argues a low state of moral
health among those who have our mo-
raj health in charge. On this subject
the Tennessee Methodist most fttingly
speaks as follows
Most heartily do we condemn the
outrageous statute of Tennessee which
places the age at which a girl may con-
sent to her own ruin at 10 years The
proposed amendment to the law which
places the age at 10 years is likewise a
disgrace to the State, and it would O v
er the Legislature with infamy if it
were to pass it. AS the Banner con-
tends, such a law is merely a shield
for the seducer, and makes the State of
Tennessee, which should be a protect
or of innocence and virtue, the pro-
tector of the libertine."
1t is a matter of profound amaze
ment how 30 shameless and audacious
piece of legislation can be proposed
to a grave legislative body. We do
not believe the Legislature of Tonnes
see VII, for a moment, think of such
an outrageous and d~isgraceful act as
to adopt the proposed amendment. 1t
would make every virtuous and honor
able Tennesseean hang his head in
shame. 1t would be an insult and dis
honor put upon Tennessee womanhood.
1t would be a defense and security pro.
vided for the lust of libidinous scoun-
drels who ought to be confined in the
penitentiary for their dastardly crimes,
by the State instead of protected in
these crimes, as this law proposes to do.
