TWENTY YEARS AS AN EDITOR,

On October Ist, 1895. the present
editor and owner of THE COLUMBIAN
completed twenty years of service in
the editorial chair. In commemoration
OF that event this double sized edition
is printed.
On October Ist, 1875, Capt. C. B.
Brockway and Geo. E. Elwell pur-
chased The COLUMBIAN plant fiom
Henry l.. Dieffenbach, and conducted
the paper until October Ist. 1850,
when Mr.. Brockway sold his half inter
est to ]. X. Bittenbender. The firm
of Elwell and Bittenbender continued
in business until February goth, 1903,
when Mr.. Elwell bought the interest
Of Mr.. Blttenbender, and became sole
proprietor.
Prior to October 1881. the Office
was in the building now occupied by
The Sentinel, but at that time it was
removed 10 its present building on
Main Street, erected for its purposes.
The building is three story brick,
IS by or feet, and the printing office
occupies the first floor and basement.
The establishment has kept up with
the procession, and new type and ma
chinery have been added until there
is scarcely anything left that was in
the office twenty years ago. Modern
facilities have been adopted, including
numbering, perforating and book
binding machines, and a complete
stereotyping outfit, and the plant com.
pares favorably with any country

patronage that has always been given

The services OF w. L. Eyerly ESQ.,,
have been engaged, and he will de.
vote his time to the gathering of news,
thus making a marked improvement
IN the local department of the paper.
The life of an editor has its pleas.
ant and its unpleasant incidents. Dur
ing our long service we have discover
ed that there are hundreds of people
who know more about running pa
per than an editor knows. We have
found that the man who is most easily
offended at what he sees in newspa.
per about himself, is the man who
does not think it worth his while to
express his thanks for something nice
that may be said of him and he who
hnds the most fault with the paper
and loudly declares that there is
nothing In it, is the man who borrows
his neighbours copy with unswerving
regularity. Those who are most dis
appointed at the omission of an item
IN which their names would appear
are the ones who never give the edi.
tor any information about themselves
or anybody else, and then blame him
because he did not find it out himself
and write it up. On the other hand,
we have found good and true friends
who have stood by us for many years.
and who have rendered much assist.
ance in our endeavors to give the
public a good, reliable, clean news.

said, the difficult underground trolley

$45,0 mile, will, it is expected, be
completed before the easy and compare

is finished, regular and accommodation

DEATH OF JUSTICE JACKSON.

Justice Howell E. Jackson, of the
United States Supreme Court, died yes
terday evening at his home, near Nash
vile, Tenn, in the sixty-third year of
his age.
Howell Edmunds jackson was born
in Paris, Tenn, April s, 1882, of parents
who were Virginians. Justice Jackson
was a classical scholar, graduating
from the West Tennessee College in
1S4S. He studied law two years at the
University of Virginia and in Jackson
under his kirsmen, Judges A. w. o.
Totten and Milton Brown, and also
graduated from the Lebanon Law
School in 1856, in which year he located
in Jackson and engaged in the practice
of his profession. In 1880 he was elect
ed to the State House of Representa-
tives on the State credit platform. AT
ter a long struggle as compromise
candidate, he was elected to the United
States Senate as a democrat in 1881,
and served till April IL, 1886; next he
was appointed United States Circuit
Judge for the Western district of Ten.
nessee by President Cleveland. Presi-
dent Harrison appointed Judge Jack
son to the seat on the Supreme Bench
vacated by the death of Mr.. Justice
Lamar. During the first income tax
trial Justice Jackson was too ill to at
tend the hearings. In the hope of hav-
ing the decision reversed or established
in its entirety with his vote, the case
was reopened and he heard all the argu-
ments. II was not his vote, however,
but that of Judge Shiras which affirmed
the original decision and extended it
out so as to invelidate the whole of the
law. Judge Jackson was always
staunch democrat, though in 1881 he
left the Senate to return to Tennessee
to canvass the State in the interest OF
State debt question. being the leader of
the wing of the democratic party known
at that time as the ''sky blues" who
were opposed to repudiating the State
bonds. The bonds were repudiated,
but it was against the convictions OF
some of the best men in the State, par
ticularly of the old school, who deemed
it blot on the reputation of Tennessee.
Justice Jackson was married twice and
had six children-three by each mar
riage.
The general drift of opinion seems to
be that President Cleveland will honor
one of his present cabinet officers with
the position made vacant by the death
of the late justice, and Secretaries o.
ney and Smith, and Postmaster General
Wilson are mentioned for the place.
