Rob, | know to your friends
You will often tell,
OF the game of croquet
You played most" well.
or a tramp you took
Along Rock WALL
Over the mountains to the waterfall,
Ofcoming back, quite another way.
And crossing the bridge,
The red plums to see
And getting just q few to eat. Tee hee.
There is much pleasure to be found
on the croquet ground. On the noun
tain trips and visiting the Silver Mist
Falls, which are about four miles from
the camp, most Of the road is veIy good,
though part is rough; on the way you
pass over Fannie Falls, so called it is
said because a young lady of that name
fell from near the top into the water
below; she was rescued but not serious-
ly injured. No season passes without
this trip; a company of eleven couples
has been there already, they came back
delighted, and why noty They pass
through the beautiful to the sublime.
Some who have been here with us are
to be back again. We welcome them
and others also who are suffering from
the intense heat of these summer days.
They will find it quite different from
the open country.
The sun m at half past eight,
And kindly leaves at four,
Meath gentle shade by clearest stream,
Who could wish for more?
The mountain breeze is shifted Oh,
BY that, which is to follow,
And spreads pure air abundant
throughout the winding hollow.
The wearied mother here finds rest
And drinks the crystal water:
Along with her quite thoughtful,
She brings her charming daughter.
The father too, that's overworked,
Comes resting from his labor,
And on returning recommends
1t to his carewoIn neighbor.
They come to simply pass the time,
And some TO make a show,
Or some to spend the day,
With his best girl, you know.
And as they drink, one and all,
Fiom that quaint little fountain,
The get health s restoration,
Put up in the mountain.

In localities that have the enterprise
and public spirit to have good roads
the farmer utilities the time it is too
wet to work on the farm by hauling
his grain to market, doing his milling
and making his trading trips to town.
This is an immense saving. In local.
ties cursed by bad roads, as Washing
ton County for instance, he can only
attend to such business when the
ground is dry and firm and he ought
not to spend a single hour out of his
fields. This in the course of a year is
a serious loss. The value of the time
lost in this way would in a few years
cover the county with first class
highways.

MCKINLEY AND EVANS.

Reed and Evans are a cadence, Har-
rison and Evans "a concord of sweet
sounds" and Mckinley and Evans a
a symphony rioting in the highest
ecstacies of the gamut. Reed and Har.
rison are both good men, deeply versed
in political science thoroughly equip
ped for all emergencies, and bright as
the sparkle of old wine. They are both
ahead of the times and their states
manship in advance of that of the
golden era of the Triumvirate, because
of the greater expansion of the country
and the more varied interests and the
more complex problems of government
consequent therefrom.
1t may be urged that Reed lives too
far from the centre of population and
in u State with too weak a showing in
the electoral college. These obstacles
were'always in the way of that man,
who was too great to be President, the
majestic Blaine.
Harrison has had one term and two
nominations. Though his Administra-
ton had been brilliant and successful,
to the surprise of the country and the
dismay of his party he was swept
aside like a man of straw by the storm
of free trade lunacy in '92. Albeit he
returned, none the worse for his sudden
departure and rough voyage, when
good sense and sound judgment re.
turned to the people.
McKinly has always carried ''the
rabbit foot" in politics. A financier of
the Hamiltonian school, a far sighted
politician free from guile and greed, a
statesman by instinct, precept, and
education, full of resources always
turned to honest and unselfsh account,
he has made the impress upon the cur
rent thought of the country as one of
its best and most brilliant and useful
citizens. The father of the most equi.
table and beneficent revenue law we
ever had, he is n of the leading ex-
ponents of the dearest tradition and
dominant tenetof the Republican party
Protection. The objection of prece-
dent and locality a not be urged
against him. Still, we are not saying
that McKinly is our first choice, I'VE
are only telling a few facts, for be 1t
remembered that the Republican party
is immensely rich in Presidential
timber.
But as to Evans for the second place.
1t appears that the party at large are
conspiring to rob the Tennessee Repub-
licans Of the honor and pleasure of re-
electing him Governor of the State

WILLIS

WILLIS ARMENTRouT.
Twas on the day. before the Sabbath,
When all was serene and still,
A glistening angel came to earth
To perform his Masters will.
And methinks his hand must have trembled,
When he loosed the golden chord,
That has bound us in life to Willis;
And bore him up to the Lord.
But we know the dear Lord hath sent him,
Sad though his mission may be-;
And we know little Willis is safe,
In that home so bright and free.
He was only a little rosebud,
That had just been planted here;
For us to love n fondly cherish
From the winter cold and drear.
Into the costly home of the King
And into the howell door,
The angel of death must some time come.
To pluck from the hearthstone's store.
Although the dear little one has gone,
And our hearts are very sore;
Yet the Savior knoweth our sorrow,
And balm on our hearts will pour.
And our Master-as a gardener
Takes within the tender plants,
Took little Willis to His mansion;
But in tender love He grants
That many bright faced, sunny fiowrets
He has planted in This home,
Shall be left To those so saddened,
Till the Master says, ~ come"
And TO the loved ones left in sorrow,
Our tenderest words we give;
Feeling that this sorrow c%hastened,
Will but help them to live.
And may it ever be given them,
To look to the Land on High,
Where sadness and sorrow are banished,
And never is heard a sigh.
/ can almost see the bright faces
or the shining S%eraphim,
When threw open the Golden Door
To let the little one in. n. w. b.

WE have enlisted in the war, not for
better roads, but for good roads. We
could have better ones and then have
none worthy of the name. We shall
hammer away until something is &C.
complished in the line of public i'm
|provement and convenience. The first
thing to do is to buy a rock crusher,
and if members of the County Court
will cast aside a needless fear of their
personal future the appropriation will
not be delayed. So stiffen up your
spinal columns, gentlemen, the issue is
upon you. You can NJ longer hedge
nor dodge. The financial condition of
the county, better now than it ever has
been, warrants an outlay upon the
public highways that will be a good
start towards putting them in good
shape in a short length of time. The
best men of the county favor the ex.
penditure. We know this for a fact,
and from the general encouragement
we are receiving in u plea for good
roads we are we'll satisfied that a large
majority of taxpayers favor it too.
Good roads should be the aspiration
and demand of every citizen.

same fever.
We had n darling little babe with
golden curls and sweet eyes that always
looked laughing and joyous, who never
failed to be kind to all. He was fair
and ethereal, more of heaven than
earth, but what vas far more beautiful
than face and form, was his an,iable
character. Like a sunbeam he lived
with us Frightening and cheering all
who came within his influence; he
twined himself around our hearts and
was the idol of the household; but God
saw we loved him too well-in loving
our darling babe perhaps we were not
as mindful of our Creator as we should
have been, and so He took our precious
one to himself, our pet angel Tommie
Lee. Still he is not lost to US; although
our home is very dark and lonely with.
out him, vet he is only one moro treas
ure in heaven. He has only brought
us nearer to him, and the link that
bound u hearts is not severed, but
only made stronger, for we know that
he is in divine presence.
He loved papa and mama dearly and
seemed anxious to stay with us-but
he lisped during his illness "IIl die"
I'll die" His little heart was never
more delighted than when we started
to the chapel for divine service and
often during his illness he begged SO
hard to go once more. He called ma
30 sweetly the morning that he died,
that it seems l can hear his little voice
calling me now; but that was for the
last time, yes, for the last time, for he
was even then treading the dark valley
Of death alone, alone-Ah, Jesus
Warden by his side
To safely bear him over the tide.
He was rapidly but consciously pass
ing away from earth to that home that
is always bright and beautiful. He
was a patient little sufferer here, never
fretting during his illness of six weeks
but endured all pain bravely, sweet
angel that he was. Our darling now
rests in the arms of his Savior, He
needed him to serve Him in His temple
above.
"Ill know thee there by that sweet face,
Round which a tender halo plays,
Still touched with that expressive grace
That made thee lovely all thy days
By that sweet smile that DER it shed
A beauty like the light of even,
Whose soft expression never fled
Even when It's soul had flown to heaven.
I'll know thee by the starry crown
That g%litters in Try golden hair
oh, by these blessed signs alone
I'll know thee there, I'll know thee there,p

Act of June %, 1884. provided that
all standard gold and silver should be
paid for iE coin under the direction of
the secretary of the treasury. Section
three provided that all gold coins
miuted prior to July 81, 1884, should
be receivable in all payments at the

The act of June %, 1884, regulated

coinage of gold at Charlotte. N. C.
The same laws governing the United
States mint was extended to the
branches.
This brings US up to the law of 1887.
That law was a result of a reconstruc-
ton of all the coinage laws of the
United States that had been passed
since the first congress convened, and
repealed all laws inconsistent with the
act of 1887. We will discuss that law
in our next issue.

A Home Needed.

1t occurs to us that the railroad loE-
by ought to provide some sort OF
home for statesmen who serve it faitl ;
fully and are turned out to grass by the
people. Missouri is dotted with the
political graves of men who served the
railroad lobby in the place of the peo-
pie. A very bad feature is that the
lobby. after debauching a public off,
cial, refuses to give him shelter when
he fees from the wrath Of the people.
This is ungrateful, to say the least.
When public official ignores his con-
stituents and serves the corporations,
the latter should remember him with
gratitude in the days OF his adversely.
But no one ever heard of gratitude
on the part of a corporation lobby.
An official is used until the people re-
pudiate him and then he is dropped
like a lemon with all the juice squeezed
out OF it. The lobby neither knows
nor cares anything about the future Of
officials who serve it. Naturally u
'hrewd lobbyist despises the men who
'erve him, and when their mission has
'een performed he don't care II they
tarve to death. th.-Jeferson City zriE-

obedience to a religious doctrine. is
contrary to the spirit Of our Govern
ment and repugnant to our ideas OF
justice and equality. The State has
just as much right to command its citi-
zens to join particular church as to
religiously observe particular day as
holy. To admit the States right to do
either. Is to admit its right OF control
oyer individual conscience.
California has already admitted tho
entering wedge of obnoxious laws BY
the passage in the last legislature OF
the BARRIERS Sunday closing law. which
compels every barber to close his shop
at noon on Sunday. Such a law is so
clearly unconstitutional, in that it is
the grossest kind of class legislation,
that all the lawyers in the State arc
wondering how the governor could
have signed it after duped legislature
had passed the bill. II BARRIERS must
close at noon on Sunday. why not ey-
erybodyp Why should they be parti-
cularly favored. or otherwisep Let US
stop stages and trains and buggy rid
ing and fishing and picnics, in fact
everything but going to church and
Sunday school, and arrest every mar.
woman and child who does not attend
church at least once on Sunday with
out valid excuse.
: That is the logical conclusion of the
movement. And then, to complete the
scheme, there should be an annual tax
to support the church. Either that,
or keep Church and State apart, as the
builders and defenders of our Consti-
tuition decided we should, and let each
person worship God as seemeth best.

Religious Intolerance.

The dispatches announce that the
governor of Tennessee has pardoned
the eight men who were serving sem
tences in the jail of Rhea County for
violating the Sunday law of that State.
The pardon was granted on recommen-
dation of the judge in whose court the
men were convicted, and who had pre-
viously remitted the fines, leaving on
ly the costs of the trial charged against
the prisoners, which could not be re-
mitted. II is also reported that q num-
Der of other citizens of Rhea County
have been arrested for violating the
Sunday law. in that they attend to
their usual duties on the FIRST day OF
the week, after having rested on the
seventh day. as they believe the Lord
commanded them.
This Rhea County affair seems to be
literally persecution, as in many other
parts of Tennessee as we'll as in that
county, ordinary avocations are fol-
lowed by the people who profess no
religion, without the law being en-
forced against them. At any rate, the
