ty had several conferences in town on
Monday, and it is reported have decided
to make a special effort to elect a Sher-
iii and member of the Legislature.
James S. Pritchett seems to have the
bulge on the rae for Sheriff, and it is
thought John HI. Bowman will be their
candidate for Representative.
An unusual scene was witnessed last
Thursday evening between z and s
O'Clock by those of our people who
CHANGED to be out of doors. A magni-
ficent display of aurora boreais or
Northern lights was hung out in the
northwest, and lasted several minutes.
While such exhibitions are not I'M
common further north, they are some
what rare in this latitude.

and hanging baskets, ever brought to

flowers is something pretty to keep
them in and surely any n may find
in her stock something to please the
eye. Be sure to call and see them.
Judge S. L. Chestnut, of Rogersville,
is spoken of as a probable Democratic
candidate for Chancellor in the 18th
Division. If the Republicans over their
fail to adjust their troubles, and thus
make it possible to elect a Democrat,
Mr.. Chestnut will make as clever a
Chancellor as it is possible for an East
Tennessee Democrat to make. We
hope however that matters will be so
arranged that no Democrat can get that
position this time.
The Jonesboro Cotton Mills suspend
ed work some days ago because prices
for their products, since January, /,
have been too low to meet actual ex-
penses. The mills can not be run to
any profit with existing prices for cot
ton yarns, until additional machinery
is put in, part of which is on hand.
An addition of fifty or sixty feet to the
building, with the required machinery
to enable the mill to run to advantage.
Is one of the proposed Improvements
during the suspension, and we hope
everything can be adjusted fora early
resumption of work.
F. E. Britton's drug store is under

The outside of the building will be
given a coat OF paint, be penciled and
made as attractive as possible. Mr..
Britton is one of our enterprising bust
ness men, and keeps a full line of drugs,
paints, toilet articles, fancy goods,
cigars and in fact everything found in
a first class establishment. Call and
see him, but look out for paint.
