Carter County His Home.

Having heard on the streets a rumor
that Judge Smith intended to move
back to Eiizabethton in the near fu.
ture, a Herald and Tribune reporter
questioned him on the subject, when
the Judge stated substantially as fol-
lows: well that all depends on Cir
cumstances, / have never regarded
Jonesboro as a permanent home. I
moved here as was we'll understood at
the time to obtain the advantages of
your most excellent Graded School,
and am still patronizing it. Up to the
time that sold my home at Elizabeth
ton, l went there to vote, and have al
ways regarded myself a citizen of Car
ter County, and it is true that I am
now negotiating for the purchase of a
home of which you speak. However,
l am here for the winter az I have laid
in my supplies for the season. By ref
erence to u Supreme Court reports
you will see I have kept myself credi
ted to Carter County"
The Judge says that while he has
felt an interest, and taken an active
part in all movements looking to the
prosperity of the town, he has scrupu'
lousy avoided the waters of "Mill
Spring." and that, as we all know, il
the final test of full citizenship.

KEBBLER'S CROSS ROADS.

The health of our community is very
good at present with the exception of
Mrs. A. Keys, who has been quite sick
for the past few da%ys-Jonas Saylor is
visiting home folks at this writing.
John Chinowth is preparing to build a
new house. Mrs. Elizabeth Hammett
gave home folks a pleasant call on last
Sunday. A number of our Young peo-
pie are attending the meeting at Mar
wins Chapel. The school at Chestnut
Grove is in a flourishing condition. If
you have any hogs to kill and want
them shot call on Ebert Morrell and
Robert Hartman. Wright Saylor is
lamenting over the loss of a very valu-
able bunch of keys which he fears he
has lost in a vineyard. Grandpa Bacon,
we are glad to say is convalescing. A
very quiet wedding took place near
Haretown one dav last week, the con-
tracing parties were w. NJ. Ledford
and Miss Rosa Sellars. F. E. hilbert
and John Morrell are the boss stave
makers of the Valley. Robert Crouch
had the misfortune to get hurt very
badly the other day by a wagon which
came near running over him. j. Sifford
passed through the Valley with his
cattle one day last week. The boys of
our neighborhood are wis hing for a
snow so they a sleigh ride aud rabbit
hunt-we think from the appearance
today they will get their wish. A Ger.
tain young man was heard going thro'
the valley the other night singing,
when l get home how sweet twill be-.
We wonder what he was going 8 fast
for. The PEOPLE.

CHERRY GROVE.

W. E. and S. L. Fergerson have re-
Gently purchased a pair OF the finest
Poland China pigs that we have seen
Tor some time, we are always proud to
see our people take an interest in the
Improvement of stock, it costs as much
to raise an inferior hog as a good one
and no profit in any except the good.
there is room in this country for i'm.
provement in stock. not only on hogs
but cattle have gone down in grade
wonderful in the last few years. Who
OF our farmers will take a step toward
Improving our cattle? AS for sheen it
doesn't matter whether we mention
them or not for free trade will kill the
wool business, and then there is such a
large per cent of our people in this
country that presist in raising dogs in
stead OF sheep, and this over production
OF half starved dogs, committing de.
probation among the sheep, discourages
those who would take an interest in
that line 4; hence there is not more than
one half the number of sheep raised in
this country that other wise would be.
II we had a clause added to our State
constitution that would put a tax of
from $3.50 to So to the head on every
dog in the State. Mrs. Odell who has
been spending a while with her parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. j. E. Hale, of this place,
returned to her home at Pulaski CITY,
Va, the past week, her health had
greatly improved. s. T. Martin re-
turned from the East Tuesday, where he
had been with q lot of cattle and hogs:
he reports trade only moderately fair.
Ben Workman, who has been in Geor-
gia, Florida and South Carolina for the
past two years, connected with the Pal
metto Lightning Rod Co., is now spend
ing a while with home folks and friends
in this section. VIM. Tadlock has
made his return home from Georgia
where he has been for some mon tbs on
business. c. E. Wilhide, who has been
Tor some time connected with a Lumber
Co., n has been making headquarters
at Bryson City, N. c., is in to spend the
holidays with his better half. James
4. Hale, Esq, gave us q pleasant call
Sunday: Mr.. Brabson, one of our
school directors, was visiting Mr.. Ship
ley's school at Cherry Grove last Fri
day, did not see Mr.. B. to learn how he
was pleased with the school but we
know that the patrons are all we'll pleas
ed. We wish the Herald and Tribune
and its many readers a merry Xmas
and a happy and prosperous New Year.

WATERLOO SEMINARY.

For the benefit of some of the rea l.
ers of the Herald and Tribune I will
say that this institution of learning is
situated two miles southwest of John.
o City, on the headwaters of Brush
Creek, and crowns n of the lofty hills
OF the Appalachian Mountain System.
Overlooking the surrounding country,
presenting a view, the beauties of which
are beyond description, with the Buffa-
10 Mountains lying to the south, form
ing a background to the scene, and the
beautiful valley of East Tennessee
stretching westward to the visible peaks
of tho Cumberland it forms a panorama
that dazzles the eye of the most casual
observer. We have one of the best
houses for school work on this side of
the county. l.. G. Leach had a good
horse to die on the 18th from the effects
of getting fast under the manger of the
stall in which it was feeding. The peo-
pie of this community were shocked
on last Friday morning by the true re-
port that the barn of David Dulaney OF
Sinking Creek, including six head OF
valuable horses, four milk cows, wagon
harness and agricultural implements
had been burned to ashes by the hand
of an incendiary. This is the third
barn that has been burned in this sec
ton in the last two months. The fol.
lowing is the report of the school at
this place, for the second month, end.

What Temesseans Say About the
P OISE.

Mrs E. A. Biggs, Trenton, used Elec-
tropoise for acute rheumatism, and
says: | am now we'll and am always
thanking God for the E~leciropoise.
M. j. Dalton, Nashville: II consid-
er the Electropoise IN invaluable"
T. ]. Atkins, Memphis: 1.-THE Elec-
tropoise is the family physician at my
house."
Prof. A. M. Burney, Gallatin: Speak
ing from experience, l have no hesitan-
cy in saying that the Electropoise pos
sesses great curative powers..
j. Jack Wilson, Memphis: ''Unless
l could replace it no amount of money
would tempt me to sell my Electropoise.
A. B. Robertson, Beech Grove; II
have used the Electropoise for over
two years, and would not take $500 for
it If l could not get another"
Travis Winham, Nashville: II con-
slider it the greatest medical discovery
of the age"
Hon. T. Fl. Baker, Huntington: For
paralysis and that class of diseases 1
can say from experience without hest.
tation that the effects of the Electro
poise border on the miraculous"
Mrs. Ed H. Smith, Somerville: 81
believe that the time will O come
when the Electropoise will be consider
ed an indispensable article in the fam
lily"
w, E. Burton, Henrietta: ut is an
unpleasant duty to parade ones COM
plant before the public, but l think it
is a duty | owe to suffering humanity
to tell them the good the e~lectropoise
has accomplished for me, and if l could
not get another n all the money in
Tennessee would not buy mine,
Prof. R. w, Jennings, Nashville: 81
have found after two years use that
the Electropoise is simple effacacious
and convenient"
Maj. G. G. Conner, Chattanooga: 81
have taken no medicine this year, con-
suited no physician, used the Electro
poise and am in better health than 1
have been in give yearo."
Rev. G. A. Lotion, D. D., Nashville:
Judge East told me that after having
exhaustive speaking that he found the
Electropoise of great value in equali-
zing the circulation and restoring the
nervous equilibrium, and | found the
same effect under like circumstances. "

Organized Charities.

Once more the Herald and Tribune
suggests the duty of some systematic
method of looking after and providing
for the wants of those in distress, il
any in this community.
All over the country, in city, town
and village, the people whose he arts 70
out in sympathy for their more unfor.
tunate fellow creatures, are organizing
and adopting plans and measures to
provide for objects of charity in theil
midst. Will not the Mayor and Town
Bsard inaugurate the movement here.
A woman and five children withou,
anything to eat or work to do ought to
rouse people.

Knoxville's leading Democrats, it will
be seen there is no politics in the W.

We publish this week a report of the
condition Of the Jonesboro Banking
and Trust Co., and take pride in the
healthful showing made by this one Of
Jonesboro's business concerns. The
management of this bank is surely in
good hands, and its past record should
strongly recommend it to the confidence
of the public.
Before their discharge last Saturday
the Grand Jury furnished the following
information. The jury was composed
of ten Republicans and three Demo-
Gratis; six Baptists, n Presbyterian,
one Cumberland Presbyterian, one M.
E. South, one Dunkard and two Luth-
rem. Only n of the thirteen uses IL
quor, the Others being total abstainers.
This is a good record for Washington
County, and we hope may neve be
lowered.
The Circuit Court on petition of P.
Witt and R. P. Cloyd oyerruled the
action of the County Court in abolish
ing school district No. 81 located in the
Second Civil District, and declared
said school district and its Board of
School Commissioners to be still in ex-
istence, Notwithstanding the order of
the County Court abolishing said dis
trict. The Trustee was made defend-
ant in the proceeding and has prayed
an appeal to the Supreme Court.
Robert Canter brought to this office
a few days ago, a sampled OF his tobacco
crop for the past year. He got the seed
of us last spring and has as fine quality
of leaf al we eve saw. The varieties
are White Burley and Blue Ornico. 1t
is simply sun cured, but shows what
may be done in our country if sufficient
pains are taken in the cultivation and
handling of this usually profitable CROP.
1t should not be long until sufficient
tobacco is raised in this country to JUS
tify the opening of a warehouse in
Jonesboro.

VINELAND.

Three days ago l went with Papa to
the Austin Springs Mills-yes there are
two of them and each one might be call
ed two paills-G. F. Cannon has a
planer,s tongue and groove and four
circular saws that saw through plank
like CREASED lightning. But the best
part Of his mill is q steel mill to grind
corn, cob and shuck all togather into
course meal for stock. We have been
having corn on the cob ground on it
for two months past. 1t grinds fast,
Mr.. Cannon says ten to fifteen bush
els an hour. l think there aught to be
forty or fifty of them in our county
they only cost $50, and I guess they
make the corr worth double as much
for stock. The other mill is w. c..
Hale's -four and meal mill and circular
q W mill. II you remember, late last
winter there was q big flood in the
Watauga. Well it run away with a
great many Jaw logs from the big lum
Der company at Carter's Depot, and
many Of them lodged on some islands
Just above Devanit's Ford 500 have
been drawn up the banks and hauled
out to Mr. Hale's mill, and 200 more
are to be hauled making 700 in all and
the sawyer told me that they would
make fully 200 feet of plank each that
would be about 100000 feet. If you
like such news maybe I'll write some
more. ! am but II years old but l can
