early convention. But a prominent Re-
publican writing from Washington City
suggests the early convention finds sup
port in the Bible, where the wisest mar
who ever lived says, "h,ose that seek
me early shall find me-" The spell
binders def atiI & society, started last
summer, to show the people that Brown
low was mot in it," is getting to be
right much of a "chestnut'-hence the
people want to take a rest" by nomi-
mating MIR. Brownlow early, so he can
return to Washington and go to work
for them, instead of fooling away time
to keep the debating society from ''in-
ocuous desuetude."

The Trustee had a deputy at johnson
City to receive taxes, OF that district
would also have been we'll represented
in Jonesboro. The old soldiers and Re-
publicans in tewn were so enthusiastic
for Brownlow, that if they had been
called together in mass meeting to ex.
press their preference for Congress, the
vote would have been SO near unani-
nous, that his opponents would have
been forced to concede this county to
Mr.. Brownlow.
