CAREERS MILL.

The late rains have raised the waters
III our creeks SO that saw and grist mill
owners can run on full time for the
first time in several months. Wheat and
oats never looked better in this section
ut this season of the year. Chas. Slower
and h. N. Miller are putting in a fine
lot of logs preparatory to build an ad-
dition to their residences. Henry Hoss
returned from Nashville one day last
week. He has been on q collecting
tour for the st. Louis Range Co.; he
will rest up until spring opens out. c..
r. Jones went up to johnson City on Il
business trip one day last week. The
CARRIER Bros. have advertised their stock
of goods for sale at auction on the Goth.
Embleeville had a considerable blaze
last Friday. One of their store houses,
two offices and a dwelling were burned
to the ground; the fire originated from
a defective flue in one of the offices.
Rev. j. IL. Moore commenced a series
of meetings at Bacon's school house,
but on account of the non arrival of
expected assistance closed out on Mon
day night of last week. 1t is regretted
that such was the case, as the sinners
in this locality are badly in need of q
little shaking up. 7. A. Radford, q
prominent Democrat and good citizen
of this place, is assisting Judge Key in
holding Federal Court at Knoxville
he is a member of the Grand Jury. Rev.
Mr.. Hutchinson, of Indiana, is holding
a series of meetings at FairView church.
There is talk of a regular train being
put on the Embreeville road in the near
future; as it is we have only two trains
a week-Wednesday and Saturday. Our
people are beginning to express them
selves as to their choice for candidates
for the various offices to be filled in the
coming summer and iall elections. 1t
is unanimously conceded that Mr..
Brownlow will get the solid vote of this
district; there is no question about this.
He is the most deserving of all that are
seeking the nomination and our people
are determined to use all honorable eff
forts to secure his nomination, which
Will mean an election by an overwhelm-
ing majority. After careful inquiry
we find our citizens almost q unit in
favor of the nomination of Judge Hack
er, and why should they not be? Judge
Hacker has been tiled in the balances
and not found wanting in a single par
ticular. He is honorably, upright, con-
scientious and capable in every respect.
While he is firm in the administration
of the law he is kind hearted and SYM
pathetic towards those that are so un-
fortunate as to fall within the clutches
of the law. and in the enforcement of
the law does it in a II that makes
the culprit feel that he has a friend and
brother and one that has a tender feel
ing towards him. For these and many
other reasons, of which we shall have
something to say in the future, we advo-
cate the claims of Judge Hacker. The
present incumbents of our county offices
are giving general satisfaction and our
people are almost unanimously in favor
of giving them another term. AS our
present efficient Sheriff is debarred by
law for another term it stands the Re-
publicans in hand to select a popular
and capable man to make the race for
this, the highest Office in the county. OF
course we have our choice among those
that are spoken of, but as we are not
bullNlCubl1 DoDtCu dD w III ShOltO VI
our citizens we refrain from expressing
an opinion. Let them %nounc their
names in the Herald and Tribune so
that our citizens may know who they
are, and they will 500 express them
selves as to their choice between them.
1t is their duty to announce themselves.
Any one who dances should always be
willing to pay the fiddler. 1t is with
pleasure that we hear your townsman,
R. NJ. May, spoken of as a candidate
for the Legislature. Mr.. May is we'll and
favorably known here, as he was raised
in this section; and if he should decide
to make the race he may rest assured
that the loyal old Fourth will come up
as n man and give him five votes in
the convention. PHELIM.
