some days, is able to be out again.
Joseph Good is all smiles-its a boy

OF all the leading papers in the State,
none have won for itself such an envi-
able standing during the discussion of
the gubernatorial steal as the Nashville
Banner. 1t is Il Democratic paper, but
its Democracy is of such a type as will
not allow it to support the acts of its
party right or wrong. No paper in the
State has devoted SO much space to the
subject nor produced such unanswer-
able arguments against the wrong be-
ing done the State.

SPEAKER PILLOW, of the State Senate,
is under fifty years of age and therefore
liable to pay poll tax. He may have
paid it, but if he did, he did not exhibit
his receipt when he voted at the No
vember election, for Peter Turney, or it
is SO reported, If this be true, what

should vote, as a member of the Gen
eral Assembly, in favor of throwing out
the votes of East Tennessee Republicans
who had paid their poll taxes, but were
not required to exhibit their receipts on
election day? There are doubtless
other members of the Legislature in
the same attitude. How will they fin
ally vote? Just as Vertrees may die

DOUGLASS.

In your last weeks paper | noticed
that d. F. Depew, Esq , of the Twelfth
District, is a candidate for the Office of
Tax Assessor. Esq. Depew is a hustler
and a stauuch Republican. We hope
he will be elected for we know that his
qualifications are such as would give
entire satisfaction to the tax paying
people of this county. The County
Court can not make a better selection.
He was a candidate for assessor before
the convention of 1892, but in order to
preserve peace and harmony in the Re
publican ranks he withdrew from the
race and pledged himself to support
the nominee. He worked m%anfully
and used every possible effort for the
election of Major Bradshaw. In view
of this fact l think it would be nothing
more than right for the court to elect
Esq. Depew. He is a poor man and
needs some help just now. He is a
farmer and a close observer of things
about the farm, and should he be elect.
ed there will be no need of an equal.
izing board, as his work shall need no
o~verhauling. He has twice been hon.
ored by being appointed as deputy by
Maj. Bradshaw. He has worked up
several districts and has given entire
satisfaction as you will find by refer.
fering to his books and by comforting
with the Honorable Clerk of the County
Court. He is well know by the mem
bers of the court, he having served a
term of six years in said court. The
health of this community is very good
at present. Rev. Bundy will begin a
series of meetings ii this place on third
Sunday. Farmers are taking advantage
of the few fair days and are fast get
ting ready for spring crops. DR.. j. C.
Douglas, who has been in Nashville for
some time, will return in a few day.
He is taking u post graduate course at
the University of Tennessee. Prof. r.

paper, published in Indianapolis, Ind,
has for some months been engaged in
getting up Soldiers Colonies with a
view of buying large bodies of land in
some of the States and removing to the
same, in great numbers. Much enthu.

soldiers, and many are joining, with a
fair prospect of improving their condi-

HALES SCHOOL HO USE.

There is nothing mere interesting to
me than reading the letters from diff
ferent parts of our loving old county.
Yes, l can say old county for we should
be proud that we live in the first
county that was organized in rennes-
see. Some of the farmers III our neigh.
borhood claim that their wheat crop is
going to be a failure this season. The
cause seems to be that the wheat has
never %sprouted ON account of being
sowed late and that the grain is already
rotten, therefore can be no chance for
a crop. The wheat generally is quite
small for this time of year, but seems
to be thick enough on the ground and
has good roots. Some of the old farm
ers prophecy that there will be a good
crop this year. If we should have a
good crop we would be glad if Mr..
Cleveland would send them high prices
around that he promised. If l mistake
not wheat vas to be 81 25 per bushel,
but we would be better pleased with 81
per bushel than forty cents. Miss Carrie
Rogan, one of the most accomplished
ladies' of our circle, is confined to her
room with rheumatism. May she have
a speedy recovery is the wish of her
many friends. The poke supper at
Hale's Sunday night was a grand sue
cess. There wrere enough people pres
ent 10 comfortably fill the house and a
more quiet, peaceable and pleasant
time could not be wished for by any
one. The exercises opened in a devo-
tional manner by Mr.. Cox. The next
on the program was a speech by q
very small boy whose name we have
forgotten, but the way he handled his
words is a credit to any place. There
were some three or four pieces rendered
and some nice songs, after which came
the test who would get to eat with the
prettiest girl and l suppose my readers
would like to know who that was, as /
took special notice l believe l can tell
you; it was Little Boy" James
Hankle was the lucky man to draw the
dollar that was placed in one of the
pokes to induce the boys to buy. The
proceeds. amounted to So 05 which will
be used to finish painting the house.
One of the candidates for Tax Asses
sor took ar active part in the work, it
is rumored that he tried to tax the boys
for eating by themselves. Some of the
boys complained of the girls squeezing
their arms too tight going home, but we
think those boys were by their lone
selves. Sam Francis is getting Keener
every week. 1t is thought that he is
working 10 be Deputy tax Assessor.
There will be a public spelling match at
this place next Thursday night. Every
one that will conduct themselves prop
erly are cordially invited.

Democratic Opinions of the Steal.

When Old Pete makes his will, who
do you say he'll leave the governorship
to?-Bristol Courier.
The principles of Democracy are not
at fault-but the principles of the SO
called Democratic leaders.-Lebanon
News.
The investigation farce is proceeding
in a 7 to D way, and the people are kick
ing, but that makes no difference with
the upstart partisan majority of the
General ACKNOWLEDGEMENT County
Sentinel.
From the reports in the daily papers
of the work of the g%ubernatorial sub
committees we conclude that Gov. Tur-
ney will remain Governor, that is if the
Legislature confirms the work of the
committees. The opinion is expressed
by many Democrats that the investiga.
ton will result in hurt to the party
Fayetteville Observer.
How the matter will end, it is now
impossible to say. Public opinion is
so bitterly against a Job" that it is
reasonable to suppose that the Legisla.
ture will not attempt one even should
the committee make a partisan report.
The party must come out of this affair
with clean hands or henceforth, for a
time at least, Tennessee will be Repub-
lican.-Springfeld Herald.
Ever since the late election the Hon.
Peter Turney has been laboring under
the hallucination that he was defeated
by d.. Clay Evans by fraudulent means.
The truth is that Mr.. Turney was de
feated by DEMOCRATS who did not want
him for Governor and hence did not
go to the polls on the 9th of November
and vote for him. If he has any doubt
about the truth Of this statement, we
refer him to the stay at home Demo.
Gratis, and to thousands of others who
voted for him.-Marshall Gazette.
The Nashville American has run out
of excuses for advocating the counting
out of Evans, and now denounces as
TRAITORS all those Democrats of the
State who favor honest elections. The
American may continue to hoodwink
members of the Legislature and get
them to vote to give the Office to which
Mr.. Evans was elected to Mr.. Turney,
but it will never be able to convince
the voters of the State that such action
on the part of legislators is right. A
majority of the best Democrats in Ten
nessee believe Mr.. Evans was elected
Governor last year, and all attempts to
keep him from occupying the Office
hurts the Democratic party.-Manches-
ter Times.
