GROVE.

Mrs. VIM. Mathes, of Iowa, is visit
ing her old home and many friends at
Christie. Wayne Smithpeter and Arch
Scalf landed at Cherry Grove the 3rd;
they drove through In a two horse
buggy from Milton, Iowa, in twenty
four days. Last Thursday seemed to
be a day Of change in this section: VIM.
Cox moved to his farm near Morning
Star, E. L. Brown moved into the place
vacated by Cox and Mr.. Horne. of Sui
livan County, moved into the place
vacated by Brown. While we regret
to loose as good a citizen as Mr.. Cox,
we wish him, as we do the rest, success
in his new home. Mr.. Bayless, wife,
son and daughter, of near johnson City,
were recently visiting in this section,
the guests of Isaac Dunn. Misses Dora
and Flora Martin have returned to
Jonesboro to attend the graded school.
We called the other day at the widow
Humphreys and found her and her
son in law applying the finishing touch
to her new kitchen, which she has
mostly built herself; though the widow
welded her brush very artistically, it
was hard for a passer by to tell whether
she was painting the lattice work or
herself. Alex. Tadlock, of the Palmetto
Lightning Rod Company, returned
home from the South the past week.
Sorghum boilings are in order and
furnishes lots of amusement for the
young folks. Wheat sowing will be in
full blast this week If the weather ia
favorable. A fine crop of buckwheat
has been harvested in this section. E..
E. Shipley's school at this place is in a
hourishing condition: between forty
and fifty have been enrolled and quite
a number to enter yet. Prof. j. G.
Hartman, of this place, opened school
at Victory the 1st inst. Huts Basket
has recently moved from Greene County
to his farm on the headwaters of Black
ley Creek. Jack frost has made his ap-
pearance to remind US that winter is
not far distance. R. F. Register is re-
ported very low with fever. Bad colds
are raging among the young people in
this section. Locust Mount is progress
ing; with all her past attachments she
nov has a sheriff in the person of Jas.
Murdoch, and a scribe in the person OF
Uncle Fuller; we are proud to see the
smiling face Of Uncle Fuller in the
Herald and Tribune and hope he will
come often. Eliza Collision. of Swaney,
Greene County, was visiting in this
section Saturday and Sunday, the guest
Of your scribe. F. X. Tadlock and
lady, of Hascue, Greene County, was
in this section lately visiting his father,
s. K. Tadlock. E. d. Duncan, u can.

MAYDAY.

Sorghum making is the topic of the
day, and the early approach of jack
frost has been regarded as an enemy to
the bare footed school boy. Miss Flor
ence Moore gave a birthday dinner on
last Saturday; the invitations being
limited and bad weather prevailing,
therefore only few of the chosen bark
ened to the call. Louis hardwood, one
of the Oldest men in the county, is Wis
iting B. F. Swingle for the past few
days, and seems to be enjoying excel
lent health for a man of his age. E.
Booth, who has been confined to his
room for some weeks with fever and
rheumatism, is slowly convalescing,
and we trust that he may soon be able
to be out again. j. j. Brown has been
at work dressing and repairing a mill
for Isaac Broyles near Broylesville, for
q few days past. Jas. Swingle, who
opened a law Office in Greeneville some
time since, was up visiting home folks
a short time last week. We think that
the editors of the various Knoxville
papers would do the people of this sec.
ton an injustice to send their papers to
a number of them as our little berg
was so we'll represented on the 9th, as
we a hear more about the great
metropolis than could be given in
print for weeks to come. Miss Eva
Howard, q charming young lady, who
has been visiting at CAREERS Mill for
some few days, returned to her home
at Cherry Grove Saturday, accompanied
by the heart of n Of our young men.
Don't worry, John, she will return
when the grapes ripen again. On the
9th Messrs. Duncan and Bowman, the
aspirants for Representative, met at
Bethesda and measured arms for the
space of three hours. Although Bill
being very tall and his avoirdupoise
ranging near 200 and his tariff speech
which was as long as the-well l don't
know what-and still little Ed, done
him up in 30 short a time that ''Big
Bill" went home to return no more.
j. s. Rowe came home from Unicoi,
n day last week, where he has been
working for the lumber company, and
owing to its suspension for some time
he came home to enjoy the ~''lasses''
boiling, which are the pastimes fol-
our young folks. Quite a crowd of our
people contemplate taking in the great
show of Barnum and Bailey, at Bristol
the 10th, in order to see the great ele.
plant. Rev. Harold was elected as
preacher for the Cherokee Baptist
Church last Sunday, to fill the place OF
j. q. Moore, whose time has just ex-
pired. SAILOR.

LIMESTONE

Jack frost has made his appearance,
and we are having a little cold weather.
S. A. Byrd and wife left last Monday
for Texas, where they expect to remain
several weeks. the Feather man.
from Fall Branch is in Limestone and
also the father men," of Mohawk.
Mr.. Thomas and family, of Iowa, are
visiting the family of Mr.. Williams, at
this place. Misses Lynn Remine and
Vergie Cloyd, and Charlie Brown, of
Chucky Valley, are visiting the parents
OF Miss Lynn Remine, at this place.
l.. E. Fisher is very low at this writing
with consumption. Joe Huff, of Mo-
hawk, who has been in Limestone for
the past week, returned to his home
Saturday. Will Haun, the livery man,
has been in Mohawk for the last few
days visiting home folks. A. T. Payne
and wife are visiting Mr.. Payne's sister
at Matuta. 1t seems as though our
town is somewhat improving as N. A.

HON. II. CLAY EVANS.

Mr.. Evans, Republican nominee for
Governor, addressed the people of this
county in Jonesboro last monday. The
weather was fine for sowing wheat and
possibly this accounts for ths small at
tendance compared with expectations,
for the speaking had been more thor
oughly advertised by hand bills, pos
ters and otherwise than any previous
appointment during the campaign.
However those present were amply re-
paid for the sacrifice they made in
coming, as the speech was interesting,
entertaining and profitable to all who
believe in the doctrines of the Repub.
lican party.
We omit giving details of the speech
which covered about the same ground
as the speech made in Knoxville and
sent to our readers some three weeks
ago in q supplement. Suffice 1t to say
the speech was a splendid presentation
of facts and figures demonstrating the
necessity of returning the Republican
party to power in the State and Nation.
Mr.. Evans has just returned from
a canvass in West Tennessee, and is
full of hope and encouragement over
the fattering prospects in that part of
the State where Democracy has reigned
supreme for a generation or more. The
efforts being put forth by the Demo-
cratic party to counterfeit the effect of
the canvass Mr.. Evans is making justi-
ies the conclusion that the Democratic
politicians of Tennessee are alarmed at
the prospects of q Republican victory.
The appeals made to the faithful to
come to the rescue of Democracy seems
to have little effect in many localities
where the Populists have the numerical
strength to maintain an organization.
A large majority of the Peoples party
were formerly Democrats and are max
ing q nght In several counties in Mid
die and West Tennessee, where their
efforts promise success in the election
of members to the Legislature. 1t is
possible for the Republicans and Popu-
lists to control the next Legislature,
and with Mr.. Evans as Governor, we
shall be able to restore the constitute
onal rights of the people to 60 to the
ballot box and cast a free mans vote
and have it honestly counted. This
done Democracy will retire from bust
ness in Tennessee until they repent of
the political rascality by which they
have maintained supremacy since 1888,
when Sam Hawkins was elected Cover.

CEDAR HILL.

The people of our community are
about done taking fodder and are now
busily engaged sowing oats and max.
ing molasses. A very sad occurrence
happened in the Fifth District last Sun
day night, Mr.. Slonaker had q fine lot
of clover seed burned; how it happened
no one knows. 1t was stacked a con
siderable distance from the barn, or it
might have been burned. The Jim
town Sunday School had a disagreable
day for their pic mic. Gingo will please
read the nineteenth lesson in Buffers
Third Reader, read the whole lesson,
but dwell particularly ON the last stan.
"a. Cash Hill will ring the bell to suit
her OWN taste; of course it Is too much
to ring a fifty cent bell twice; therefor
Jimtown is e%xcusable. The prayer
meeting at Cash Hill is in q prosperous
condition; this is generally the case
when such men as the Messrs. Charles
Scott, Keen Bacon and others have
charge. The proprietors Of the Armen-
trout mill, have procured an engine to
run the mill while the water is low
they are doing good work and every
body is invited to ~patronize them. The
blind coachman has concluded to sus-
pend business during the winter sea-
son; his resignation is expected soon.
The people of Cash Hill were glad to
see the face of Jim Butler at Sunday
school not since; Jim is an apt scholar
and his appearance is charming to
all. JOLLY ROVER,

SOME Of our Democratic exchanges
are claiming that when the good ef-
fects of our new tariff bill are fully rea-
liked labor will be better employed,
and the lower price Of manufactured
goods will enable all classes to buy
more goods of all kinds, and this will
increase the output of mills and fac
tories and give labor more work"
Yes, but don't you know that the mills
and factories that will increase their
output are foreign affairs, and the
work will be done by foreign mechan-
icsp No matter how low in price
things may become, if our people have
no work they have no money to buy
with. The new tariff law will i'm
prove the condition Of foreigners, but
will %impoverish American workman,
which was the evident design of the
men who drew it up.

Education.

The subject of education is n question
that should be studied by every thought
full mar and woman. 1t is upon this
great question that the prosperity of
the rising generation is hinged. This
is a question that should demand the
attention of every parent. 1t should
be the earnest desire of every parent
to educate their children 80 that they
may become useful men and women.
The training of the mind Is the only
thing that a person can be in posses
sion of but what they can be robbed or
deprived of. Nothing but the power
of God can take away this precious
jewel. A great many parents are too
careless about sending their children
to school. A child should be put in
school as 500 as it is old enough.
Some claim that they are not able to
send their children to school; they say
that they are too poor to furnish them
clothing and books. Now l know that
there are a great many poor people in
Washington County, but there is but
few SO poor but what they can provide
for their children to go to school.
Washington County ranks among the
foremost counties in our State as re-
CARDS good schools. There is an insti.
tuition of learning almost on every hill,
and there is no reason why the child.
rem of this county can not be educated.
An education is the best thing that pa
rents can bestow upon their children.
They may give them money and land
and heap upon them riches which will
prove to be a curse to them. AS a gen.
eral thing self made men are the best
men that we have. Now I don't claim
that it is wrong for parents to provide
for the comfort of their children.
First see that they are educated, then
if you have anything to give them per-
haps 1t will prove a blessing to them.
AS a general thing money in the hands
of illiterate persons is not apt to be
handled in a successful manner God
creates nan and gives him dominion
over all things. The brute creation
have a natural instinct that they need
no training. 1t is true that they can
be taught a great many things, but
while that is true it takes an educated
person to educate a brute. True there
never has been a person who taught
anything more than they know them
selves. AS God has given man domin-
ION over the brute creation it is, there
fore, his duty to educate himself 80
that he may know how to treat them.
The brute creation is imposed upon a
great deal by the ignorance of men. A
great many claim that to read and
write is all that is necessary for children
to know if they are not going to pur-
sue some professional course in life.

THE SOS AGAIN.

A week or more after the Herald and

consolidation of the Sos Railroad
properties under the name of the Ohio
River and Charleston Railway Com
pany, some of wide awake ex-

in giving newspapers credit for energy
in gathering news items in the original
package and hope to be accorded az
much by our brethren who edit their
papers with scissors and paste. As
further evidence you can always rely
upon what appears in this paper, we
are permitted to give the following
official notice on the subject Of the
consolidation:

The indifference among Republicans
in this district grows out of the fact
that there has been no systematic work
done to develop political enthusiasm
as in former years. Many of those
who could have done effective work in
this line, disqualified themselves by
their ours in the August election and
do not occupy an attitude calculated
to generate enthusiasm for party nomi-
nees.
