The drouth and hot winds Of 1894
again emphasize the necessity of es-
tablishing irrigation plants in the
Dakotas, with ample capital behind
them. When this is done, and not
before, these States will reach the
full measure Of their real fertility
and agricultural Importance. Very
large sections of both States are real
ly arid under ordinary conditions,
and the artesian we'll must do for
them what it has done for the desert
of Sahara and other locations having
a deficient rainfall.

Hot water for cows is the maxim
Of the French dairy farmers in the
department OF Finisterre. They
claim to have proved by experiments
that when COWS drink hot water
they produce One.third more milk
than when they are refreshed with
cold water only. Caution must. of
course, be observed in adopting the
new system. Avaricious dairymcn
must beware Of scalding the throat.

ONE Of the common sights in Lon
don is the street sweeper, who is al
ways OfficiOus when he sees a gentle
man accompanied by a lady passing
along. One OF the ilk, however, was
rebuffed during a heavy shower. The
man calmly remarked: There is no
necessity for your services, sir; the
lady is my wife" And the sweeper,
seeing the force of the remark, tipped
his hat and went searching for pen
MES at another crossing.

THE director of the Economists
Europeen states that the total gold
production Of the world from the
discovery of America in 1892 to the
year 1892. inclusive. amounts to
81, 600 million dollars. 1t would form
a cube Of about 2S.4 feet on each

And take me to his home.

All for Gibson,

AT the republican meeting at Nash
vile Judge Gibson was a prominent
figure and there was but very few
men who were counted among the
leaders of the party, but what ex-
pressed themselves for him and de-
nounced the action of Houks commit
tee. He was called upon to make
two speeches which he responded to
in his elegant and captivating man
ner, keeping all that vast audience
in one continual roar Of applause from
start to finish. There was not a man
from the Second Congressional dis
trict, but what felt prond that at last
that they had as their nominee for
congress, one whe could represent
them and speak for them wherever
and wherever called upon. For a
number OF years our mouth has been
closed and all people knew of us was
that we had a dummy who could pull

A Pleasat Meeting.

The meetings of the republican
editors and the state league of repub-

able. The following are the officers
of the editorial association: Presi-
dents association w. S. Upton,
Cleveland Herald; First Vice Presi-
dent Jas. F. Rule Knoxville Journal,
Second Luke T. Walker, Nashville
Republican; Third Col. T. H. Baer,
Rhea County Republican; Secretary
E. W, Watson Chattanooga press;
Treasurer J. +. Baker Cumberland
Chronicle The editors decided to ad-
vocate the plan of two conventions,
the Judicial first and then the Cub
material to follow after the August
election.
The following were elected officers
of the state league: J. w. Brown Pres
ident; H. N. Willis, Luke T Walker
and D. A. Mum, Vice-presidents;
w. H. Connette Secretary; L. J..

Hon. H. B. bindsay, the republi-
can candidate for Chancellor is
alright and has declared that he con
siders Henry R. Gibson the republi-
can nominee for congress and he will
not support John Honk any more.
At Chattanooga he made personal
request Of the committee on delegates
to place Mr.. Gibson at the head of the
delegates at large from this state to
the National Republican League
convention which meets at Denver
next year. He was unequivocal in
his statements as to his position on
congressional matters to the editor
of this paper and we are perfectly
satisfied that he means to stand by
the people and their nominee.
While he has stated his position he
cannot come out in his paper and
fight the congressional battle until
after August as he has one of his own
on hands until that time.

A Deserved Promotion.
r. M. MAGILL & Co.

Geo. L. Chandler, of this county,
commenced working. for the DAVIS
Sewing Machine Co. about a year
ago at $50 per month, but by hard
and faithful work he gained the con
fdence and asteem of his Employers
and his salary has been raised and
he has been sent to another state.
This shows what upright and hon
est efforts will do for a young man
who is faithful to the task that is be-
fore him. May George continue
to prosper is the wish of the TINES
and may he always remember that
he who is faithful over a few things
shall be made Lord over many things.

Still a Candidate.

Hon Andrew Gamble desires us to
state that he is still candidate for
representative and has not Withdrawn
from the race as is reported.
Mr.. Gamble served the county
faithfully in the last legislature max
ing an efficient working member and
was among the acknowledged lead
ers of the lower house. Where ever
there was any chance at all he work
ed and voted for measures that would
help the people of his own county and
of the rest of the state. He worked
for the repeal of several Of the pres
ent Unjust laws on our statute books
among which was the burdensome
fee system. He took we'll at Nash
vile and reflected credit on the
county that sent him. he has
had the experience of one term and
with that before him he will make
better representative than he did
before. 1t is mistake to change
the men for this Office every year as
they only fairly get into. the harness
and pulling smoothly, when they
have to stop and a new man take
hold who has to learn every thing
from the beginning. We are sure tht
county will make no mistake in send
ing Mr.. Gamble and we feel safe il
saying that our interests will be look
ed after in an intelligent and faithful
manner.

One Affidavit Knoc ked Out

To The PEoPLE.-I see from John
c. Houk's paper, that Albert George,
made an affidavit in trying to help
John Houk steal the nomination for
congress by having honest votes Of
his (George's) friends and neighbors
thrown out. He states that l was an
ardent Houk man until short time
before the election. This is not true.
l never told any man that | was for
Houk. At the beginning of the race
between Houk and Gibson, l had not
decided which l would vote for, but
in short while / did decide to be a
Gibson man, and came out for him
and want to work for him, as l
usually do for the man that 4 prefer.
And dozen or more of the best men
in Maryville know this to be so and
will say SO any time.
| never had any talk with him
afterward nor said to him that l would
not vote for Judge Gibson because l
was for prohibition. As to Gibson

HOuk'S Paper.

Houk has published paper the
Republican Leader by name and
in that he gives some afidavite.
Next week we will give those from
Maryville and show the people of the
town just what they had to swear
against their own people and on
what no count testimony the vote of
Maryville was thrown out. John
Houk's paper published by the
Knoxville Tribune, democratic, and
that hot bed of democrats is the
Houk headquarters. April 5th we
were in Knoxville and Dick Austin,
Houk's man Friday, was seen in and
out of this democratic hole all day.
John Houk is depending upon the
democratic vote and what few re-
publicans who will follow him to elect
him in place Of the regular nominee.
But there are not many republicans
who will follow this bolter and assis-
tant democrat.

On False Testimony.

In another place will be found
statements from two persons that
destroy the force Of two ofthe affdavits
upon which John Houk and his COM
mittee threw out the vote of Mary
vile in the primary. False evidence
is what Houk used to do away with
Gibson's honest majority in Maryville
and we have no doubt that in every
other case it is the same way, but
with all his throwing out" he will
not get to be our next congressman.
