Well Known Man Gone.

Last Thursday Uncle David God.
dard, aged II years, passed away.
Three years ago the grip took hold Of
him, and as it served most old people,
it undermined his health, injured his
mind, and he hasn't seen a we'll day
since. Formerly he was a man of
very strong mind, and stood firm for
what he thought was right. He was
elected chairman of the county court
soon after the war, and instituted a
great reform in the conduct of county
matters. Everything had been con,
Quoted in loose and unbusiness like
way until David Goddard became
chairman, and with a determination
to do things right, let the conse
quences be what they might, he took
hold of the county's affairs with an
iron hand and instituted business
like system, requiring county Off
GERS to give bond according to law,
where they never had been required
before, brought order out of chaos,
and thus no doubt saved the county
many losses. This vigorous policy
made him unpopular with a great
many, and he was severely criticised,
but now the wisdom of the move is
apparent to everyone, for if matters
had not been Strengthened out by
some one they would have gone from
bad to worse. Such men are an
honor to any county, and relatives
have the sympathy of many friends.

How II Works,

The prohibition of saloons in Harri-.
man and of the traffic in intoxicating
liquors in every shape and form has
proved so highly satisfactory and sue
cessful that the example must ere
long be followed by other towns and
cities. The enforcement Of the
charter provisions and ordinances has
been perfect from the commencement
and to. day there is not drop of in
toxicant to be had in this city for love
or money. The benefits of sober
city are realized on every hand, and
there is perhaps not one citizen here
who would consent to a change. =

The Novel Supper.

The "chance supper" at the NJ. f.
Church, South, Teusday night Of last
week was most enjoyable affair and
netted a neat sum for the church.
The young ladies prepared their sup
pers and put them up in neat baskets,
and the gentlemen had to buy them,
and Of course when lady would in
nocently say to gentleman that is
my basket they are selling, he was
bound to buy that basket. In addi-
ton to this the ladies were disguised,
and the gentlemen had to buy their
company home. Some of the boy,
paid pretty dear for two or three
girls before they got the right one.

He may decline the honor on sac
count of lack of MEANS" as his mod
esty is well known, but that makes
no difference, we must do honor to
the candidate from this section and
stand by him, for 1t would be "selllng
out and acting traitor" according to
the theory of "raw head and bloody
bones" If we voted for the Lord him
self if there was an East Tennessean
running against him and the latter
was Houk or a Houk supporter. So
on these grounds we make our pre-
diction.

announcement came in too late last

District of this county, and is a
staunch republican, having never
voted outside Of his party. He is a
poor man and unable to work, and
has a family. He has never been
off the track. as reported, and will
not be till the race is over. We are
satisfied Mr.. Tedford is fully qualified
for the position and will make good

When John Houk sends Mike
Fogarty, McCarty or some other right
hand man of his to this county and
says that he is willing and wants us to
do it we are ready to instruct for
Major Cofman as Governor. We
don't know what to do or say until
some Knox county ''feller" comes
and tells us, but "Barkis is willin"
when it knows what is wanted.

is the will of his "royal nibs," John,

Cleanest In the County.

Clark's Grave Yard is now in bet
ter shape and cleaner than any "city
of the Dead" in the county. Those
who have friends burrried there seem
to have taken agreat deal of pride in
the looks of the yard and with their
teams worked until it is entirely
clean and great deal of it is set in
blue grass. There are other Grave
Yards in the county which need
cleaning, and among the number are
those in Maryville. 1t shows respect
and love of the dead when their last
resting place is kept neat and clean.
