BILE talk and effective action for the

Rogersville Herald: County Super
intendent, Prof. w. F. Dykes, was in
town yesterday, enroute ~ the State
Institute at the Junction. Prof. Dykes
was assigned the honorable position on
the program of delivering the address
of welcome, which we have no doubt
but that he did in his usual eloquent
and manly style, much to the edifca-
ton and satisfaction of his hearers,
among whom will be some of the fore
most educators in the State, as the
Institute embraces 10 counties. and the
flower of East Tennessee. Prof. j. w.
Lucas, of McMinn Academy, will rep
resent the Herald at the Institute, and
report the proceedings in full for our
next issue.
Granger County correspondent in the
Claiborne Progress: Prominent among
the visitors were those ready and
anxious to serve their country, both at
home and at Washington. Those who
could not attend were represented by
friends. Hon. w. E. F. Milburn and
John NJ. Brabson, of Greeneville and
Col. Tom. Reeves, of Jonesboro, were
present in person. Mr.. Reeves repres-
ented the interests of the Hon. w. P.
BrownlOw. Others may have had
work done for them. We observed
that each one met encouragement and
could, the more readily account for the
disappointment that must befall all
but the lucky one, even for the nomi-
nation. We do not pretend to fore
cast the result that is 80 distant, but
we can humbly interpret the tendency
of public favor in this county and the
surrounding localities. In all sections
of the county we have visited we find
earnest and enthusiastic friends of Mr..
Milburn. His record as a soldier and
the folders friend, his straight for.
ward, plain course in office and out of
Office and above all the thorough be-
lief and confidence reposed in his ability
and promptness to serve his people,
have gained for him a strong hold in
the hearts of the masses. He is a Re
publican when not a candidate. Mr..
Brownlow's friends are also quite nu-
merous and gave his popular represen
%tative, Col. Reevesa hearty welcome.
Mr.. Brabson left on Monday evening.
His record as a successful fnancier es-
pecially in connection with the banking
business. will serve him well. Messrs.
Milburn and Reeves left together on
Tuesday evening.
