Who is E. Dudley Dun cant

E. Dudley Duncan is a young man
from Boston. He came to Johnson
City on the first wave of the boom.
When he came he settled. He saw a
future rising up before him and a past
sinking behind him. He did not
choose to go backward, nor to stand
still, 90 he pressed forward. He did
not do this in the sense that a specula,
tor goes forward-at the expense OF
Others He bought lumber and he
measured lumber, and while he was in
the woods he wore apair of big rubber
boots-not that his feet were 80 very
large, but simply because the boots
were. He was given to eating, and he
generally had his three square meals
a day, with an occasional dish of oys
tiers at night. His pipe "a handsome
meerschaum) was ever present with
him, and in his leisure moments he
wore pair corduroy pants-brown
corduroy, with the ordinary buckle be
hind, and bagged in the knees, that il
in modest manner, so to speak.
A great many people didn't like Mr.
Duncan when he rolled into johnson
City and settled. He had ways tina
seemed to be his own. He kept mea
uring lumber, smoking his pipe, loaf

Southern Grit Versus Hard Times.

Southern Grit Versus Hard Times.
Baltimore Sum-.
Less complaint of the hard times has
been heard from the South during the
last eight or ten months than from
any other part OF the country, but this
is not because the people OF that sec.
ton have not felt the financial strin.
gency, but because they have learned
to suffer and be strong, and silent, too.
They are not given to making an out
cry every time they come to rough
place in the road of life. For a people
who prior to 1860 enjoyed an excep-
tionally easy and luxurious existence,
the manner In which they bore the
poverty and privations that followed
the war was amazing in its calm
strength and quiet endurance, and
was fully as heroic as their bearing
during that conflict. The bravery and
patience with which they have since
struggled TO redeem their fortuns have
been no less admirable, and their pro.
gress toward prosperity has been noted
with heartfelt interest by their friends
in other sections.
This progress would have been much
more rapid but for the checks it has
received from time to time from the
sensational and speculative scheme:
of unprincipled adventures, who
Rave endeavored to loot various local.
, ties by bunco business devices, JUS
, as was done by the political carpe
, baggers after the war. The boom towns
, and boom methods which these "busi
ness" schemers established and en-
couraged were injurious not only be
cause of the financial losses they oc
casioned, but because of the lowered
business vitality that followed then
. and the temporary encouragement
consequent upon disappointed hopes
They are not the sort OF people, how
A ever, to sit down and cry over spilled
: milk, and after every check they hav'
j, bravely renewed the fight. They hav'
& suffered in common with the rest o
: the country during the last few
months, but they have confronted tn
situation with their usual Spartan
spirit, and the improvement which
will soon set in will be felt there pro
: badly as early as in any other part o
: the country. But to tell them, as d.
some of their pretended friends, tina
"to starve awhile is good for the healtl
sometimes" is piece OF sublime AS
4 surance. A famous New York divin
u who had fat salary and Jared sumI
l. tuously every day, was once reporte
q as saying that working people coul
). live fairly we'll on bread and water
y In the same spirit the Southern pee
u u pie are now told that to stsrve awhil
u is good for the health sometimes. A
y if the robber should say to the man b
u had plundered. "Never mind, m
= good fellow, you'll feel all the bette
Il for not eating tor few days." TIL
u South has too much grit to be Away
, complaining about its troubles, but

men became more tolerant OF him.
They actually forgot that he Was from
Boston, and he seemed more like one
of the home folks, which gave him an
ambition for law anu it, kindred evils.
He studied law and stuck out shin
gle. He is now n lawyer.
In addition to all this he has shown
himself to be man OF literary turn
from the word Boston. He has written
some choice illusions for the Yoatb'e
Computation and for other papers of a
literary character. The poets did not
escape his notice. He knows them
and can quote them with astonishing
ease and grace. For this reason he is
handy at banquets and in social cir
cles, when the heart naturally turns
toward the beautiful and the gay, and
something must be said be before each
zip at the wine glass. Such q charac-
ter is E. Dudley Duncan. He was in

and quite popular with all who know
him. He is a Republican, aud thai
leads to the fact that he is prominent
among the candidates to represent
Washington county in the next legis
lature. The fact that he wants to rep
resent Washington county adds TO hi
prominence. The papers published il
that county have never taken thu
trouble to explain who E. Dudley
Duncan is. The public must know hin
to understand him, and knowing hin
must exercise faith in him, because b,
