Some of our third party friends
have been protesting vigorously
against the recent apportionment of
judges made by the chairman of the
county court to hold the coming
August election. They claim to be
the victims of unfair treatment.
Now let us examine the facts in the
case and see if their charge is true.
On the 4th day of April, 1881, an
Act was passed by the Legislature of
Tennessee, providing ''that judges
of elections shall be selected and
appointed from at least two differ
ent political parties most numerous
ly represented in the different wards
or districts" Esquire w. L. f.
Thompson, chairman of the county
court, In order to be correct, con-
suited the returns of the November
election of 1892, and made the APP
portionment accordingly. The
third party has been given judges
in districts Nos. IL, ~, IS, is, II,
Is and 10 These they were enti-
tied to. In addition, they have
also been given judges in districts
Nos. 8, o, IA, 10 and at the Grains
vile box in No. Is, none of which
they were entitled to according to
law. The truth about the matter

The Care Of Clothing.

Much Of the wear and tear which uses
up good clothing may be averted by con-
slant care. Gowns should be brushed be-
fore hanging up in closets. II IL best to
have this done as soon as possible after
taking them Off, thoroughly removing the
traces OF street dust and mud FROM fac
ings, seams and gathers. The neat woman
does not brush her gown in her own cham
ber but takes ii into the bathroom and
brushes It beside an open window, or.
better still. has it carried out Of doors for
the operation.
Disease germs may be carried home in
clothing, and, were this not the case, IL
is very untidy proceeding to put into
ones wardrobe an article OF dress which
has not been thoroughly cleansed.
When the French woman takes off her
bcinet she does not bundle IT at once into
bandbox, or throw it hastily on a shelf.
