and the demand is not active at the
price. Democratic visitors come high,
but we suppose the people can stand it
four years.
Knoxville Republican Hon R. R.
Butler, of johnson County, has been
in attendance on this term of the
Federal Court, looking after his con-
stituents' interests. Judge Butler is a
most commanding figure in Tennes-
see politics, and is spoken of in con-
nection with the State Senatorship in
his district. He has many warm
friends and is a man of influence and
power, he is a Republican always.
Rogersville Review One question
the County Superintendent should
have in his examination of the school
teachers: Do you take and pay for
your county paperp And if it is
answered in the negative it should be
good reason for giving that teacher a
very low grade certificate. No teacher
can afford not to take his county paper.
s. Fl. L. Cooper, of Jonesboro, spent
a few days il our country fishing last
week.-Erwin Magnet.
What's the matter with the balance
of Mr.. Coopers fishing crowd hat they
failed to get in the Magnet?
Chattanooga Press: While it is true
that both Houses of Congress had Re
publican majorities when the Sher-
man law was passed, it is also true
that the doubts about its repeal are
due to the fact that both Houses are
now Democratic. Any well informed
person knows that the majority of the
Republicans in both Houses favor
repeal.
Morristown Gazette NJ. C. Moser,
Manager of the Unaka and Nolachucky
engineering corps, was in the city for
a day or two last week. The corps
was within four miles of Embreville
when he left, and he expects to COM
plete the survey to Erwin by Satur-
day next. He says they have met
few obstacles in locating the road,
and hat the route is practical, with
easy grades and natural advantages.
Rogersville Star: We have authority
from the town officials for the state
ment that the vagrant laws are going
to be vigorously enforced in the cor
pOration limits, and that all persons
found loafing on the street, and en-
gagged in the business of doing moth
ing for a living will be given constant
employment on the rock pile until they
can find lucrative employment. The
citizens of the town who make a living
ny working six day out of the week,
ought, at least, have their hen roosts
protected.
Tennessee T%omahawk Silver dollars
are only worth fifty cents, now, they
say but you can getfull credit for them
at this Office. Bring them along.
Greenville Republican: Candidates
for congress are often and not inaptly
compared to horses. Some are called
dark horses, others are some times
selected for their running and some
times for their drawing qualities. On
such as fly the track and ponies it is
not safe to bet much money. These
remarks are calculated for this latitude.
Knoxville Record The single gold
standard business has about as effectu.
ally retired gold from circulation as
did the war of the rebellion.
Bristol Courier Hon. John NJ.
Brabson and DR.. w. F. Fowler, of
Greeneville, were shaking hands with
Bristol friends yesterday. The DR.. was
introducing Mr.. Brabson as ''your next
congressman" which shows that he
has a large size bee buzzing in his
bonnet. Mr.. Brabson is a clever gen.
tleman, considering his party affilia-
tions, and will make it rather warm
for Walt. Brownlow, VIM. Gillen-
waters, etaal.
Athens Post The fellow who was
going to pay his subscription as soon
as he threshed, came in the other day
to tell us that lightning destroyed his
entire crop, and as soon as he could
sell his hogs this fall he would pay
past dues and a year in advance, but
unfortunately we learn that cholera
makes Its appearance every year in
that neighborhood and its dead sure
to get every shoat that poor devil has.
Bristol Courier A Courier represen-
tative spent a few hours Sunday in the
pleasant company of Frank l.. Form
shell, Business Manager of the Herald
and Tribune. Mr.. Fornshell was for
merly connected with the Cincinnati
Commercial Gazette. He handles type
with uncommon rapidity and knows the
newspaper business thoroughly from
the position of editor down to the least
man. We wish him mighty well and
hope that he will live many more
years.
