AMONG OUR EXCHANGES.

Rep. Banner: The little strength
that Hon. ". E. F. Milburn has in this
county is fast going to the camps of
Gel. Jno. Brabson and w. p. Brown
low, Mr.. Milburn might have held his
papers in check and Jared better. This
is a family fight with no Democrat in
the w%oodpile, and the campaign he is
conducting hurts rather than does him
good. Lower your gun and fix the trig-
ger, it goes off half cooked.
Republican Banner; That Brown
low ~stripe'not only appears to be grow
ing wider. and of a moro brilliant tint,
but it is an actual fact. Col. Brownlow
has been gaining from the start and
the finish will find him Congressman
from the First Congressional District.
Rogersville Herald: 1t car no longer
be charged against %Brownlow, that he
is not a speaker. His recent trip to
Granger county and to our Hancock
county, proves to the people who heard
him, that while he is not one Of the
regular spell binders" yet he can get
up before IN audience and make a
speech with as much force and empha-
sis as any man in E. Tenn, he not only
makes a good smooth talk all the way
through, but he makes the speech that
takes with the people, the lawyers, the
doctors, the farmers and in fact the
whole people. His speech is strictly Il
business speech, telling the people what
they should know and what they are
most interested in and want to know.
He takes up the workings of our Gov
eminent and all the departments con-
nected Herewith and shows to the peo-
pie at once a familiarity with the same.
That but few men have or have even
had t1e opportunity to have, he tells
you in plain words how to get business
through at the seat of Government, and
he tells it in such a plain and sensible
manner that all a see the point at q
glance, anditis proper to mention right
here, that his thorough knowledge of
the business workings of our Govern
ment has been too often pro ven by his
effective work for the people of the First
Congressional District to doubt his
statements on the rostrum. He has
been the greatest friend the soldier Of
this district has ever had, and to him
they feel greatful, and a very large
number of them are preparing to aid
him in the coming contest. they feel he
is the man most worthy oftheir support,
why, because he has by his untiring
work and energy, brought to the doors
and homes of many federal soldiers
and soldiers widows, and orphan chill
dren, bread and meat and the comforts
of life, and that too without charge to
any n
Bristol News: Judge J. P. Smith is
a candidate for reelection as chancel-
Tor. He isamong the ablest chancellors
in the State, and his nomination and
election are %foregone conclusions. He
may be said to be in the prime of intel
lectual and vigorous manhood. He is
the embodiment of all that is desirable
in INT who is called upon to wear the
ermine.

waters returned to Rogersville yester-
day. Speaking of the coming Con-
gressional contest as among the Re-
publicans, he says that it looks as
though Brownlow has the bulge on the
boys in Hawkins county. Hawkins is
simply following the rest of the counties
in that respect.
