A Mule Did il.

An old gentleman, James DeLozier
of Nails Creek, was in town getting
his mules shod at Grey's shop, when
one of them rared and struck him a
glancing lick on the top and left side
of his head, making an ugly looking
wound three inches long. The
scalp was cut to the scull and the
bone ruhled a little. DR.. Blankin-
ship was called and the wound sewed
up. Mr.. DeLozier is 81 years of age
and a prosperous farmer in the upper
end of the county. A neighbor of his
Mr.. John Headrick, was in town and
kindly assisted him home.

Another Affidavit Gone,

LOUISVILLE Tenn, April 9, 1898,
To the Maryville TIMEs:-In the
Knoxville Republican Leader Of last
week find the following remarkable
statement sworn 70 by Nathan Cokel
and John R. Kennedy:
was present at the polling place
at Louisville, Blount county, TenneS
see, on the tenth day of March,
eighteen hundred and ninety four,
at the Congressional primary election
and at twelve O'Clock m, on that
day one James Barnes, junior, who
was a Gibson worker, showed me
some whiskey and said that he had
bought six or eight Houk votes for
Gibson and that he had the whiskey
and the money to buy as many more
with, and that Isham Young, colored,
was paid one dollar for his vote for
Gibson. Young heretofore had been
known and recognized as Houk
man. Affiant further deposes tina,
the said Barnes told hip that w. c,
Chumlea, Gibson's cler> and master
at Maryville, had either paid William
Young one dollar or had stood good
for one dollar in Andy Harper:
store at Maryvllle to keep the sale
Young from coming to the election
at Louisville.

leive that his failure to receive the
whlskey promised by Austin and
Houk caused him to lose his vote as
Is currently reported. These are
each and all creations of imagination
of the said Nathan Coker and Iohn
R. Kennedy. Now, while | am
neither deacon nor a clerk Of the
Baptist Church, yet | am a Republ-
can and believe that the efforts made
to disrupt the party by false afidayits
and other testimony cannot be too
strongly condemed, especially when
1t all comes as a"wail from the,tombs'
of defunct (would be) political bosses.
| am led to believe that all the other
affidavits published in the Leader
were manufactured to order as was
the fore going and only hope the Re-
publican voters III the Second con-
gressional District may be fully en-
lightened thereon by the public press
before the November election. With
malice towards none and with charity
for my traducers, | am for Henry r.
Gibson until the ides of November
declares him eur legal representative
in the National Congress.

An Aged Bird.

Uncle Hyrum Gay, our popular
knight of the lazor, and his wife own
an English ring-dove which passed its
fifteen years of life in this world last
Sunday. 1t has loug been a special
attraction in the barber shop where it
is kept most Of the time and 1t is a
great pet. This bird is dove or
drab color with a white ring around
its neck and is as lively as any of its
tribe would be that had not his years
of experience. Many things are told
as to Its knowing ways. 1t is a
pretty pet.

Another Entertainment.

Benz. c. Chaplin, the young and
talented elocutionist, gave his third
entertainment to a Maryvllle audience
last Thursday night. 1t was, as the
former one, good from beginning to
end. His presentation of the trial
scene in "The Merchant of Venice"
was his best from the fact that he
represented all the characters in this
scene without a break. The revival
meeting in progress at the M. +.
Church kept large number away,
who, other wise would have gone, bu
there was a fair sized audience anC
but very few empty seats. The
Bainonian society was the recipien
of a part of the proceeds having
secured the entertainment.

A Prominent Blount County Boy

DR.. Ben Gates formerly, of this
place, attended the session of the
State Medical Association at Nash
vile last week and read a paper
entitled: "Some experiments on the
primae viae, with report on the new
method in enterrorrhaphy." OF that
paper the evening Scimitar has the
following to say:
"This paper was very instructive,
inasmuch as it explained the manner
manner of using and manner of con-
struction of button to used in lieu
of the Murphy button, which was
made by DR.. Cate. DIR. Cate so cited
fifteen or more experiments, explain.
ing each as he went along, and the
manner IN which he used his button.
His paper was listened to with
marked attention by the physician:
and their appreciation of the young
doctors experiments in the interes
of the profession was shown by The
applause which greeted him when hi
had finished.
The time usually exhausted in dis
cussion was taken up in inspecting
the new button.

A Big Order for Tobacco.

Messrs. R. Il Stcdman representing

N. c., and Ed Lockett of w. B.
locket & Co., Knoxville, were in
town this week and closed trade
with A. K. Harper for 90 boxes OF
the celebrated R. Reynolds tobac
co. We suppose this is the largest
retail order for tobacco for immediate
shipment ever given in this section.
Mr.. Harper is one of the most sue
cessful merchants in East Tennessee,
and after a thorough trail of different
brands, says he considers R. ].
Reynolds the best tobaccos on the

Acknowledges Weakness.

The Knoxville Learder, Houk's
paper, asks all who voted for Houk
to discontinue taking any paper,
which supports Gibson thus showing
that it sees the weakness of its cause
and is afraid to have the people read
both sides of the question. But we
assure Mr.. Houk that the men of
Blount, who are for him are broader
minded than he is and are anxious to
read both sides and see the truth.
None of them yet have obeyed the
commands of their would-be master.
Mr.. Houk don't own everybody as
he does the committee.

The ball game with the Reds last
Saturday resulted in acomplet victory
for the "McCormicks," the score

not only puts the score wrong, bnt
tries to explain the defeat Of the Reds

play. The McCormicks could have
used the same lame excuse when
they were beaten two weeks before
as Bartlett pitcher and Walker
(Ist basel could not play. This is
the first match game the regular nine
has played this serson. Next Satur.
day the McCormicks will play the

Another Aft davlt Denied,

see that a great deal has been
added to the affidavit made by me
and which appeared in the Knoxville
Leader of April 5,IS94. | did not
swear that all of the men who held
the election were Gibson men as one
of the judges was for Houk. l did
not say positively that A. J. Best
voted for John P. Buchanan, but to
the best of my knowledge thought
he did. | did not swear to Saying a
word to J. R. Giffin, nor did swear
word as to the alledged conversion
with Mr.. John Hutton. Nor did
| swear that "DeviP Sam Henry
told my son that the Gibson men had
money in his district and spent it.
| did swear that | had challenged
Mr.. Best. And l did swear that
"the Judges made a ruling that a
man could vote for who he pleased in
the primary. and then if the nominee
did not suit him it was not binding on
him vote for the nominee in the
general election" These last two
statements are all | made oath tc
and all the rest has been added with
out my knowledge.
ID. A. HUEFSTETLER.
Mr.. Hufstetler was not IN very
good humor over the fact that hi
oath had been SO perverted and hO
said that he came very near saying h,
would never go to another election
but he says that when he does g
now he will go and vote for tn
nominee, This makes Carpenter
Camp Ground, which Houk said le'

for Gibson. John has not mad
