During the prevalence of the late
dry SPELL" our farmers have been
rushing their work and are about done
hauling in their wheat, getting up
their hay and laying by corn. The
quality of the wheat was never better
and all was gotten up in fine condi-
ton. Our oats crop was never been
better, and our corn generally has been
we'll worked and with a continuance of
genial showers will yield abundantly.
Potatoes and all garden sass can
not be excelled. So if money is scarce
and the Democratic party in the sad
die the prospects for plenty to eat is all
that can be desired. Assignments
seem to be the order of the day in our
section. But recently the CARRIER Bros.
went under, then our young friend
Calvin Hoss, and now comes old man
Braswell who says he has assigned
his potato patch over to the bugs.
With the advent of better times our
merchants will be able to pay up in
full and run business in their own
names again. The closing down of
the Embreville furnace was the great
est drawback our people here ever ex-
%perienced, many of them depended
upon it for the necessaries of life and
have nc crops of any kind out and are
in sorely Strengthened circumstance.
1t is earnestly hoped they will get out
of their present tangle and resume
business at an early date. Charlie
Patton and family are spending the
present week with j. M. CARRIERS fami-
family. d. B. Flemming went'down
to Lenoir City one day last week
where he has secured employment.
j. M. CARRIER has his new house about
completed. F. T. Watts and Grant
spent a couple of days at Austin's
Springs the latter part of last week.
Preparations are being made to build
a new school house near Kyker's, in
the lower end of this district. Will
Lovegrove, D. d. hardwood and others
have been ON the sick list the past
few days, but are now reported better.
A. b. Rowe killed a huge rattlesnake
q few days. ago and on dissecting it
found a full grown gray squirrel in
its stomach. A. B. says its a fine thing
for him it didn't run across his mule
colt or it would have been a ''goner"
sure. j. j., Brown is about to sell his
fine property near here to Capt. Shade
Harris, of Johnson City. We hope
Jake will reinvest in our midst again
and that Capt. Harris will also locate
here. The more good citizens we have
the better it is for the community.
Our Democratic friends are still
hungering and -thirsting after our
petty postfice and other local offices,
and will not be comforted because
Grover and his subordinates are some
what tardy about turning the small
rascals out and the larger ones in. Be
patient boys, keep your choler down
during the sweating season, all may be
well with you yet. Our Baptist friends
at Cherokee have not, as yet, secured a
pastor. We understand a strong effort
is to be made to induce Rev. j. IL.
Moore to accept the passionate and if
sc he will be elected at their next
regular meeting. Rev. Pope, of Greene
County, spoken Of by some Of the
brethren, but quite a number are some
what averse to being placed under the
administration of a Pope. Of course
this is said in a spirit of POPULARITY.
We have made diligent inquiry among
the many Republicans here and Hon.
w. P. Brownlow seems to be almost
the luminous choice as the candidate to
succeed Hon. A. A. Taylor in Congress.
Mr.. Brownlow is certainly deserving
of the recognition of his party in
the First District and should secure
the nomination without a contest and
the way he could do up his Democratic
opponent would be a sin to the Holy
Moses. Give US Brownlow by all
means, and in the language of mortal
Houk: HE would carry everything
from the river to the ends of the
earth" OF Mr.. Brownlows CLAIMS and
qualifications we shall have something
to say in the future Our people here
generally want Judge Hacker for
Judge and C.. G. Collins Attorney
General, Judge Smith for Chancellor
and the present incumbents those that
can serve for comfy officers.
