AMONG OUR EXCHANGES.

~
Greenville Republican The black
berry crop, under this administration,
is a total failure.
Gr~eeneville Democrat: A. B. Cum
mings, of Jonesboro, stopped off at this
place on his return home from Whites
burg, where he attended the Masonic
celebration Saturday, and spent Mon
day and Tuesday with his daughter,
Mrs. Henry Lannon's, who went up to
Jonesboro with him on Tuesday even
ing, to spend a week or two with home
folks.
Knoxville Republican Last year a
bushel of wheat would purchase 20
pounds of sugar. This year a bushel
of wheat will purchase 0 pounds. Last
year the Republicans were in power /;
this year the Democrats.
Newport Weekly {: We are having a
sample of the good times promised last
fall by a change of administration.
Chattanooga Press: The decision of
the supreme court at Jackson regard
ing the closing of saloons with restau-
rants and cigar stands attached, on
Sunday, had q marked effect in Chatta-
nooga yesterday. The saloons were
closed as they have not been for a
long time. This is as it should be.
There is no excuse for saloon keepers
violating the Sunday laws any more
than there is for them violating other
laws. Those laws are for the public
good.
Athens Athenian: 1t is given out by
the census that there are over 5000, 900
bachelors in the United States, that is,
men who have never married. Prob
ably there are also 5000, 900 married
men who wish they were bachelors.
Rogersville Review: DR.. Ii. A.
Dykes, former Hawkins County boy,
has been elected secretary of the State
Board of Health of Kansas. We are

Rogersville Herald: Hon. John T.
Essary, of Morristown, was appointed
q. s. Internal Revenue Collector a
little owe a week ago, and at the end
of the first -four. days there had been
116 applications for Deputy Collector.
ships and more than 500 applications
for storekeepers and guagers, with
five more counties to hear from-all
supposed to be solid.
Rog~ersville Star: If the reports of
legislative committees, and the char
ges of the daily press of Tennessee are
reliable and worthy of credit, Nash
vile is the center where more scound.
rels have abode during the past four
years, than ever made their homes in
one city, since Sodom went down for
its vic kedness.

Congressional.

ED. H. AND TT see you refer to
probable candidates for Congress in the
First District, giving a list of names,
and intimating that there may be still
others back in the woods"
The fact is, the Republicans of the
First District could furnish a number
of really good ''sticks of Congressional
timber" but one you name in the list
w. +. BrownlOw, stands in the front
line and it occurs to me that there are
several reasons why he will be the pop
ular choice in the nominating conven-
ton. Let me refer to some of them {.
First. He has a good, large head,
filled with sensible brains. Second.
He is q reliable and thorough Republi.
can. Third. He seems to know every
body in the district, and every body ap-
pears to know and respect him, because
OF his courteous and obliging manners.
Fourth. He has so employed his fine
abilities during his long residence in
washington as an employee of the SEN
ate as to convince every one who has
called on him for favors that he knows
how to approach any of the Depart
ments and accomplish as much, even
now, as the most experienced member
OF Congress. Fifth. His large acquain.
lance with Department officials and old
members of the House, as well as the
Senate, will make his action, as a new
member, like that of an old D of
large experience. Sixth. If elected he
would come as near being in his seat at
every session of the House, and know
ing as accurately what was going on,
and taking as nearly all opportunities
to serve the best interests of his con.
stituents as any member from any of
the districts lying between eastern
Maine and western Oregon. Seventh.
In many respects, in serving the inter.
ests of the people of his district, he has
acted so much like a wide awake and
shrewd member of Congress, that he
ought to be made one sure enough.
OLD REPUBLICAN.

THRESHING WHEAT.

=, A gentleman who has bought wheat
in this place for many years, says If
farmers would house their wheat and
let 1t go through a sweat before thresh-
ing, they would find it greatly to their
advantage; for such wheat is preferred
by all millers and does not become
musty and sour like wheat threshed
before going through the sweat.
In view of the fact that farmers may
have to hold their wheat for a better
price, it is important to them to house
and garner it in such a way as to keep
1t from getting musty. This can be
done by packing the wheat in the dry
for six weeks before threshing the grain
out, and those who pursue this course
will not regret it if they have to hold
their wheat for better prices.

UNTO WV.

The farmers here say they will feed
their wheat to their horses before tax
ing &c a bushel for 1t. Hurah for w.
P. Brownlow for Congress. Robert
Hilbert has been ON the sick list the
past week. H. 7. Shipley went to
johnson City Saturday. Quite a mum.
Der of our friends went to Cedar Hill
Saturday night. II was a good joke on
him, Sam Estes getting on the wrong
side. Miss Minnie Reed has give out
the notion of going to California.
One dime reward for a Nickle lost
near Ceder Hill last Saturday. We
think Will Jones had better learn to
spell before he tries to Reed. About
a year ago there was a little girl
here by the name of Leila Reed, but
she is now out of sight, so tall. j. F.
Hilbert and daughter, Miss Lizzie were
visiting in johnson City the past week.
We would like to know what has be-
come of Shoat, he must have seen his
shadow and went back.

OUR OLDEST INHABITANTS.
JOHN II. NAFF.


Complying with our request, Mr..
Naff has kindly furnished this brief
sketch for publication ::
In the list of long established resi-
dents of Jonesboro, John H. Naf comes
up for his share of public notice with
those who have preceded him in pass
ing their three score years and ten"
Having come to this place in the spring
OF 1920, dates a citizenship of over
sixty four years. His nativity was at
the old homestead of his parents, who
located from Virginia neal a century
past, twelve miles west of Jonesboro
and three miles west of Limestone de-
pot and village. The youngest of the
five brothers is the only survivor, three
of whom attained approximate ages of
seventy two, seventy five and eighty
n years the other brother died of
malarial infection, near Bastrop, La,
before the war, having passed the me-
ridian of life. The subject of this
notice states that but very little in the
way of achievement, romance or acct
dent has attended him that would en-.
tighten or interest those who are al
ready his acquaintance, who know
him best. His age-born January 3,
lSl6-seventy seven years and six
months to this very day and date, July
3, 1898. Mr.. Naff was at one time
Trustee of Washington County, in
which position he gave general salts
faction to the people of the county.

BOONS CREEK.

The farmers have about all their
wheat in the barn. We are having Il
splendid season. Crops of all kinds ule
looking very promising. Let us quit
grumbling about hard times, use a lit
tie more industry, be a little more
ecOnomizing, and prosperity will be
the result. Berry picking has been in
order the past week. Prof. Garst
loves to pick berries so well that he
left the harvest field to gather berries.
DR.. Clash has added another boarder
to his happy group, another fine boy.
j. w. Hilbert opened the finest gum
of honey l ever saw. Bees certainly
have plenty furnished by nature from
which to gather their store. Rev. w.
A. Adcox preached a very able dis.
course at Boons Greek last Sunday.
Prof. Young, county surveyor, has
been in this section the past week set
Ting some disputed lines. Sol Hylton
has recently erected a fine barn. The
writer while visiting at Mr.. E. Prices
the past week, was kindly presented
some fine plums and cherries. Mr..
Price is one of our best citizens and
his accomplished lady, with her dis
erection with regard to home manage
ment, and her cheerful disposition, al
ways makes home happy. Grandma
Hodges, of this section is visiting at
her daughters, Mrs. Landon Whites
neal Austins Spring. Mrs. Hodges is
quite an old lady, but glad to state en-
joying splendid health. The brilliant
sun light of her noble countuaince
that has been characteristic of her
through life is still bright as in days
of yore, so let us cultivate the habit
of looking oil the bright side. "Dr.
johnson said that such is worth a
thousand pounds a year" There has
been much talk about enlarging the
Columbia Institute and as the talk
has ceased, perhaps the work will be-
gin. John Coffman, and Miss
Lizzie Kefauver, were married last
Sunday, DR.. ]. L. Clark officiating,
we tender our congratulations and
good wishes to the happy couple. \

The regular monthly meeting of the
Jonesboro G. A. R. Post was largely
attended last Saturday. There was
four new members admitted, making
eighty three members in good standing.
At the close of business, the writer,
asked the members to think over the
list of pensioners of. their acquain-
lance, and state If there was a
fraudulent pensioner in the countywithin
the knowledge of any member present.
A unanimous response came that there
was not a case of fraud in this county
to the knowledge of any of them. We
advise every Post in the land to make
similar inquiry. If there are frauds
on the pension roll the G.. A. r. boys
will help detect them. If there are
lone let us silence our enemies, by
boldly declaring the fact in our respec-
tive localities.

ABOUT a week or ten days ago the
people of Jonesboro were greatly
shocked to hear that our former towns
man John L. Davis had subjected him
self to very questionable business
transactions, as setforth in a bill filed
in the Knoxville chancery court by
Maj. R. R. ~Swepson, his late business
partner. Mr.. Davis in his answer to
the bill filed last week, not only vindi-
Gates his character against the charges
of his partner, but ~sustains his nswer
with exhibits in the shape of letters,
ETC., from MI. Swepson, that turns the
tables, and at once puts the complain
ant on the defensive. The people of
this place will be slow to believe that
John L. Davis has turned out to be the
kind of a man Mr.. Swepson represents
him to be.

Gov, Turney, with the Comptroller
and Treasurer went to N. Y. to nego-
tiate a sale of State bonds for the new
p~enitentiary. They failed to place
the bonds, but charged up their ex-
penses to the tax payers for the trip
all the same, amounting to over $3.50.
Twenty five cents for postage, or five
dollars for kilograms would have been
ample to obtain the information they
got. Yet not a Democratic paper in
the State has called attention to this
unnecessary expense.

prtrick had to decline the honor, and
thereupon DR.. Tom Broyles, south of
the river, we are informed was substl-
tuted. We again protest that the lead
ing Democrats of Jonesboro have not
been accorded the consideration in
this pension Board matter that their
standing and party service ought to
command. If, therefore, they continue
to kick and smash states until one of
J%onesboro's physicians is put on the
Board, all fair minded men will ap.
prove their action.

THE Democratic Governor of the
great State of Lincoln and Douglass
last week pardoned three anarchists
sent to prison for life seven years ago
for completely in the Haymarket MUIR
ders. He not only pardoned these
criminals, but rebuked the police,

hope never to see his like again.

TENNESSEE Democracy is response.
BILE for the legislation that is driving
