HON. j. O.. PRITCHAPD.

Col. Geo. E. Grisham, editor and pro-
prietor Of the Union Flag, published in
Jonesboro from 1865 to 1878, the year
in which he died with the cholera, then
epidemic here, was noted for May
splendid traits of character, and espec-
iallv for the interest he took in orphan
children. 1t was during these years
that his big heart provided a home and
employment in the printing office, for
the gentleman named above, then a
Jonesboro orphan boy, known as Jeter
Pritchard. The death of Col. Grisham
deprived Jeter Of a good home, and he
set out to fight the battles of life,
though a mere boy, with nothing but
energy, pluck and determination, to
make life a success. He went from
Jonesboro to North Carolina, and for
years was almost lost sight of by those
who knew him here, but during these
years he was laying the foundation,
and building character for greater use
fulness in his chosen profession, and
today stands at the head of the list
among the leading lawyers of North
Carolina.
His superior abilities on the stump,
has placed him also at the head of the
Republican column in that State, and
for years he has been one of the recog-
nized Republican leaders of North Car
olina.
Mr.. PIitchard was one of the prime
movers in the fusion between Republi
cans and Populists, by which that
State has been redeemed from Democ-
racy, and as the fusion Legislature will
elect two United States Senators, it is
believed that the orphan boy, Hon. j.
G. Pritchard will be one of them. North
Carolina has given Tennessee her An.
drew johnson and other statesmen.
May not Tennessee return the compli-
ment in this instance. We hope so,
and believe his election will be hailed
with delight on both sides of the noun
tains,

that while on a visit to Gov. Turney
two days ago the following conversation
toook place:
Sheriff Hyde-"I don't know what
you think about it, Governor, but SO
far as Hamilton County is concerned, !
hope you don't think there was any
%concealment of returns or any effort to
prevent the fullest publicity of the cleo.

Governor Turney: mo, sir, ] never
thought of such a thing. Secretary
Morgan came to consult me on the con-
struction of the law, regarding the cleo.
tion returns, and my construction was
the same as his. But l told him l did
not want him to consult me as to his
action, but to get his own lawyer. II
will probably not be believed, but /
have seen the returns and have
never put a pencil to paper to make es.

long to commence doing wrong now.

NOTES R 0 THE HILL.

The correspondent from the Hill ate so
so much turkey Thanksgiving that he was
unable to get a letter ready for the paper
last weekly We all enjoyed the two days
given as holidays Thanksgiving very much
1--WE can hardly realize that there is only
one more week of school before Christmas.
Next week is examination week. How often
they do seem to come. &c. We are sorry to say
that the literary Societies will not be able to
give their usual Christmas entertainment.
This Is caused by school beginning so late
that the members did not have time to pre-
pare an entertainment and keep up the
work In their classes. This entertainment
Will be given sometime during next term....
The visitors on the Hill since our last letter
have been Mrs. Bacon, Miss Ida Reeves and
Mr.. Slagle. II you want to get your name

is being established In all the grades. 1t is
the plan now to let no one pass TO a higher

Piney Mountain School.

Having been a close observer Of
school work for the last twenty years
in Washington County, and always de-
string to commend that which was
worthy, / an cnot refrain from speak
ing specially of the above school. This
school opened about the 18th Of Sep
tember, in charge Of R. B. Martin, Of
Jonesboro, and his methods are such as
to attract universal commentator. Mr..
Martin has been teaching in this coun.
ty during the last thirty or thirty five
years and is consequently one of the
oldest and best teachers now at work.
He has had a line unbroken of success.
1t is true he has had some opposition, but
his ways and methods were so far SUI
perior to those opposing that be always
came off victorious. The school has SO
far advanced without q single difficult
ty. Prof. Martin is n of the best
discplinariaus in the county. He goes
on the rule that a school well governed
s already taught. His oversight on the
play ground is remarkable, he being
able to watch over both boys and girls
with a quiet %gentleness, thus making
friends, tho accomplishing the strict
est discipline. We wish some of the
younger teachers of the county could
avail themselves Of his experience and
follow his examples, especially in gov
eminent Of pupils on the play ground.
Success to you Mr.. Martin, and may
many of the schools of Washington
County yet be governed and taught on
your plan. The school is always ready
to receive visitors and directors are es.
pecially invited. Enrolment fifty.

THE returning board at Nashville
met Monday at 2 PM, to canvass the
votes cast November 6. Having had
over a month in secret to figure on the
result, the board will at last be forced
to announce the result in accordance
with the face of the returns-a result
too well known to the people to permit
anything else to be done, even If such
was contemplated at any time. Public
sentiment is a powerful factor in fore
ing reluctant officials to do their duty
sometimes, and the sentiment is too
strong in favor of the seating of Hon.
FL. Clay Evans as Governor, to which
office he was duly elected, for any man
or set of men to be sustained in trying
to bring about any other result. In
creating this sentiment, leading Demo-
cratic papers throughout the State de-
serve special credit for the bold stand
they have taken in favor of Mr.. Evans.

COL UMBIAN INSTITUTE.

Thanksgiving was a gala day al
Columbian Institute. Early in the day
neatly dressed children began to pour
in until nearly one hundred happy pu.
pills of all ages from five TO twenty one
were gathered in the beautiful school
building which adorns the crest OF
Gravel Hill. Visitors came by twos,
by tens and by scores, until large
concourse had assembled far than
the rooms could accommodate. One of
the appreciated accompaniment was
the heavy baskets which were continu.
ally slowed away in the music roo
for future service. At 10 the opening
exercises were participated in by all
present, after which the pupils of Co.
lumbar Institute RECALLED the audience
with many songs, singing as the pupils
of this school can sing after their care.

dresses were made during the day by
Messrs. 7. E.. Garst, A. C. Bowers,

tites gathered about it. After dinner
the beat of the drum called the boys
together on the beautiful ground. They
quickly formed in line, lance in hand,
each decorated with sash and Ameri-
cas- red, white and blue, pinned on
the breast. For n hour they went
through the manual of arms with an
ease and proficiency which drew tears
and EXPLANATIONS Of delight from old
veterans; they marched and counter
marched, by twos by fours by sections
and platoons, and performed the most
intricate evolutions in perfect order.
At the close Of the drill the girls were
formed into line and ten minutes de-
voted to ca~listhenics. much to the
amusement of many present who had
never witnessed the exercises. We
claim the best school in Washington
County. The discipline is one of the
notable features. Earnestness and en-
thusiasm marks every step of the work.
We attribute our success to the effici-
ency of u teachers, A. NJ. Metettal
and Martin II. Mettetal. They uttri-
butte their success to the cooperation of
the patrons who visit their school Of

CONTRASTING the elections of Cover

Here in Tennessee the returning board
has pursued a course indicating a pur.
pose to contest the election of Mr..
Evans. Kolb, of Alabama, is not only
trying to contest the election of Gov.
Oates, but has actually taken the oath
of office, and appealed to his friends
not to pay taxes to the regular State
