MAY DAY.

There seems to be a great demand for
a few warm days to remove the gloom
and replace the smiles on some of tho
old farmers faces, which has been
brought on by the recent cold snap.
Road working has been the order of the
day for a short session last week, and
our genial overseer, Robt. Booth, seems
to be the right nan in the right place.
j. ID. Haynes, one of our accomplished
young men, took in the closing exer-
cises at Milligan College last week.
Rev. NJ. NJ. Wilcox, Of Carter County,
preached an interesting sermon at New
Victory last Sunday to a large and at
tentive audience. Miss Mary HAYNES,
who has been staying at johnson City
for some time, spent last week with
home folks. We are glad to report that
Uncle Cass May, who has been confined
to his room for some time, by injuries
received from a fall; is able to be out
again. James Patton, of Washington
College, was the guest of j. j. Brown
last Monday. Mrs. Dora Fraidy, who
has been spending a few months with
with her father, j. II. Moore, near here,
returned TO her home last week at
Asheville, N. G. Miss Saflie Ball, one
of Chucky Valleys fairest daughters,

THE ENEMY.

Whilst President Cleveland is en-
ploying his time and opportunities in
making fortunes for Wall Street and
misery and restitution for the homes
of the nation, Hoke Smith, his efficient
auxiliary in running the Government
according to the Confederate plan, is
making a relentless war on the Federal
veterans. He charges them with the
foulest and blacklist of crimes, and vir-
tually says they are c~onfederated into
a compact mass for a wholesale foray
upon the national treasury. Did he
not have a wholesome dread of q gem
eral uprising, he would not now be
trying TO accomplish his dishonorable
aim by the slow processes of suspension
and curtailment, but by one fell blow
he would totally extinguish the gener-
GUS system of governmental bounty
provided by Republican legislation.
When Cleveland rugged this Georgia
Hotspur in the high feather of cabinet
authority, notice was served on the
country that the South intended to
have it's revenge for Appamattox. The
lordly Secretary regards with supreme
detestation every reminder of the Con-
federate defeat, and to whom more
capable could be intrusted the cougen-
ial task of organizing and directing a
criminal enterprise of misrepresenta-
ton and subversion that would bring
odium and perjury upon the thousands
whose valor maintained the stainless
glory Of the flag and rescued the I'm
ion from the bloody clutch of lawless
violence. Hoke Smith, with his thor
ough education in the school of Sec
tional prejudice and hate, with his con-
ceptions of patriotic duty vitiated by
an undying veneration for the memor.
les of the lost cause" is a fit man ia
deed to sit in judgment upon the claims
of a soldier and a soldiers dependents,
who laid his all upon the altar of his
country's s%ervicel He looks upon the
pension applicant as trickster, a loafer,
"a dead beat and a bum" to whom
perjury clings like the shirt of Nessus.
He prejudges his case and the first
function of the evidence presented is
to remove the suspicion of fraud, and
then there may or may not follow an
inquiry into the merits of the appli-
cation.
The administration has done nothing
that will more surely bring disgrace
and defeat upon it than in giving Hoke
Smith unrestricted liberty in making
systematic onslaughts upon the pen
sion roster. 1t has arrayed against
itself not only the soldiery, but the
loyal sentimen of the country, whose
encouragement and support rendered
the armies of the Union invincible.

We are expecting to learn of the es-
adjustment of a great emergency
bureau at Indianapolis, with John G.
New in full charge.
The small boy always welcomes
spring, but it doesn't require much
time for him to tire of handling the
lawn mower and the hose.
That storm in Washington the other
day is phenomenal in that it is the first
thing ever known to have shut off talk
in the United States Senate. l.
1t keeps the average Democrat mighty
busy to change his mind often enough
to meet the frequent revisions of the
pending scheme of tariff reform. .
The main purpose of the Wilson bill
in its latest shape seems to be to prove
that General Hancock was right when
he said the tariff was a local issue.
The tariff discussion in the Senate is
a mere waste of time SO long as the
Democrats refuse to state what sort of
a bill they propose finally to vote for.
The Democrats are so much discour.
aged about the future of their party
that they have even quit talking about
Stevenson as a candidate for the Presi-
dency. ,~t,sr .DHu D.,
1t is q significant fact that the Demo.
cratic Senators who are managing the
compromise on the tariff question all
belong to the anti Cleveland wing Of
the party. e
A year ago the Democratic party had
the support of a large majority of the
influential newspapers of the country.
There has been a wonderful change in
this respect.

"A house divided against itself can
not stand, nor can a political party
long survive petty jealousies that array
its recognized leaders against each
other. The Republican party in East
Tennessee, especially in the First Con-
gressional District, is now confronted
with a condition of things that ought
to cause alarm to every true Republi-
a Independent Republican candi-
dates, against the regular nominees,
seems to be epidemic in several counties.
This is no accident, but the result of
political seed sowing for several months
past, by gentlemen who had determined
to bring about just such a result, in the
event q certain gentlemen was nomi-
mated for an important Office. The ele-
ments responsible for existing condi-
tons defeated the nomination, but their
seed sowing is sprouting independent
candidates that they did not contem-
plate-with more to follow.

OF his dulcet r%efrains and sibilant in

emptiness of Democratic encourage

WIN,

We r having some dry and cool
weather, had frost last Friday morning,
but think that it did not do much dam
age. Wheat is short in stra W, but it
seems to be filling pretty well in the
head. Corn is looking pretty well;
most of the oats is short. Jas. Slagle
seems to be a proud man, because he
has a big girl at his house, first one to
grace his married life. Dug Splitter is
another proud man, because he has a
new Democrat boy at his house. Still
people are born into the world; no diff
ference how the times are the world
still moves and the people with it, and
become excited over the affairs of life,
when there is no need of it, but they
must move with the tide; in their mag
nation try 10 climb mountains before
they get to them. The political affairs
are becoming agitated to some extent,
and will be more so till election day
rolls around, then it will be seen who
is the best man for the various offices
of the county and districts ON down to
school directors; it is a little Office yet it
is a very important office; only straight
forward, honest, sober, upright men
should be elected who are interested in
education. H. S. Broyies, of Milligan
College, passed through our section
selling medicine; ne seems to be giving
satisfaction, he lodged one night with
H.. NJ. Sherfey. Mrs. Maggie Hilbert,
of Leesburg, was buried several weeks
ago at Germantown, leaving a SORROW
ing husband and two small children;
they have our %sympathies. Improve
ments are still going on; some turned
their attention to fine stock. DR.. J.. D.
Campbell last week bought several head
of fine Kentucky cattle, and John d.
Barkley bought one; they are scattered
about in different sections of the coun.
try. Thefuneral of Burton Knight was
preached Sunday in Oakland Church
by Rev. Copp; singing in the evening by
Prof. JOS. McCracken. Sunday schools
are held in all the churches in this sec
ton; SO people are not idle, all trying
to do the best they can and allow others
to do the same. Jas. Armentrout was
passing around last Friday making ar

principle object. Will Swingle, of
Johnson City, was in our midst last
week looking after the interest of his
farm. Miss Lura Brown, one of Tel
ford fascinating young ladies, spent a
few days with Miss Matte and also took
in the decoration at Union. Your
writer spent Sunday with friends at
Washington College. S. O. Berry made
a flying trip to Erwin a few days since,
returning Thursday. We think that
the Fourth District has It's share of
candidates who are trying for the few
offices which are to be filled in the dis.
trict. The new school near here has
been completed at last with the excep-
ton of seats, which will be added in the
nearfuture, and it also has had one coat
of paint which improved its appearance
to some extent. SAILOR,

AFTER the White House covenant

One OF the saddest events which occur
ring at Peouaming for years was the death
of Miss Mary Westberg last Monday. Miss
Westberg was born In Sweden about 90
years ago and came to Pequaming some
three or four years ago. She was very
progressing and bright Riil, and . great
favorite 10 the families 10 which she
lived. Her last place of service was In
the family Of Mr.. Hebard, A few weeks
ago she was stricken with typhoid
fever from which disease she
finally died, although she received the
best Of medical skill and attendance pro-
durable. Her parents reside in Sweden,
and the only relative In this country, we
understand, Is an uncle residing In the
copper district. A brother and sister
arrived the day following her death, and
were entirely ignorant Of the misfortune
that had befallen the girl until they ar
rived here, upon learning which their
grief can be better imagined than des-
cribed. In the absence OF Rev. +. o.
Jones the funeral services were conduct
ed by Mai. W. K. Haviland who paid an
eloquent tribute to the deceased girl, aud
the floral offerings from sympathizing
friends were both profuse and beautiful.

A QUEER VERDICT.

Ono Instance Whom tho Lawyers Good
Reputation Wont Against Him.
once had case, said member Of
the bar, against man in the country,
which was as clear as daylight in my
favor, but, by the cunning of his law
yers, he had continued to avoid COM
ing to trial for about two years. At
last the case was called, late in the
term and late in hot day, the court
and jury tired and impatient. I stated
the facts, produced the evidence,
which was all on my side; the judge
asked the counsel whether they
wished to argue the case, stating
that he hardly thought it neces-
sary in so plain a matter. The
lawyers agreed to submit it without
argument; the jury went out and i'm
mediately returned with a verdict for
the defendant AS soon as the court
adjourned, l sought the foreman OF
the jury, and asked him how, in the
name of common sense, they came to
render such verdict. "Why, you
see," said he, "we didn't think much
of the lawyer against you, and II
wasn't strange he didn't have nothing
to say; but, squire, the fact is we
thought you was about one of the
smartest lawyers in the country, and
if you couldn't find nothing to say or
your side, it must be 3 pretty hard
case, so we had to go against you'll"
