Rev. J. NJ. Frost, D. D., Cores
ponding Secretary OF the Sunday
School Board, Nashville, Tenn,
writes of the book: "rhe book came
to hand yesterday morning and last
night I read it nearly through at a
sitting. I think it o great
thing to preserve the lives of such
men, and the reading of this book
ought to be an inspiration"
Rev. J. L. Underwood writes:
"Busy and hardworkel as I am, l
will take time to writs my great
qualification over your book. You
Lave certainly done a coed work and
done it well. If the Life of Brother
Muse does not do great good it GER
tainly win not be your fault. l wish
everybody would read the book and
heed its great lessons"
Mr.. A. S. Jones, of Turin, Ga.
having read the book, writes: 81 am
glad that you wrote the Life of Uncle
Tommy Muse, and l am glad I
bought it. I have been happily dis
appointed. 1t is one of the most in
teresting and instructive books I
ever read. I laughed and cried as l
read it, but the tears were tears of
ioy to find so much of Christ in a
man. I wish every preacher and
Christian could read 1t, and I believe
yOu will do great good if you push
the sale Of that book. It brings
Uncle Tommy to life again and sets
him to preaching by example more
eloquently than by prscept. Every
home should have Uncle Tommy to
live in it, and do not hesitate to ge.
the people to see 1t that way"

Screening the silver Knight.

Editor Silver Knight and National
Watchman, Washington, D. G.
This ia to inform you that l desire
you to stop my paper. | despise the
gang of traitors that have sold out
the Peoples party, OF which l believe
Senator Stewart stands at the head
of the lat. Every honest reformer
in the world admires and honors the
noble Thos. E. Watson for the
course he has taken in standing by
his party anl at MS post where they
placed him under the 0ost trying
and Illuminating circumstance ever
Witnessed in any campaign. IfSaur
perfidy has placed the Democratic
COW in position, doubtless you will
get teat. If it has failed Stewart
d. Co, are weaned calves. The Peo-
PIES party of the South are not will
ing to sacraf SO every principle of
honor and self respect for the sake
of silver, as much as we want free
silver, we want free elections worse.
We need free ballot and a fair
count in the South more than we
need free silver. We can't hope to
get it only through enactment of a
Federal law, and that we can't get
through the Democratic party. So
stop the Knight.
Hoping all honest men will follow,
bid you adisu.

Tom Watson.

In the conflict just ended, there
was one man who, though leading a
hopeless cause, so far as that con.
fiict WIS concerned, has enshrlned
himself, in the hearts of his country
men, as one of the bravest and truest
men this country ever produced. 1t
was he, who stood unfinohingly by
his principles and his party; who
barred HIS breast to the storm of hate
and abuse, and, although Tom Wat
son went down, he held up until the
last the cause which was entrusted
to his care. He fought for the life
of his party and its principles, and
in this be was successful. Never in
the history of political parties was
there ever such onslaught upon re-
form party and such an effort to OBJ.

but we knew We placed its banner in

splendid galaxy of statesmen, which
the South has furnished to the world,
none excel the splsndor of Tom Wat

now think that Tom Watson and his
cause IS forever defeated, we know

From Stewart County.

Editor Peoples Party Paper:
Please allow me a small space in
your valuable. paper 10 answer the
charges of the Democrats. They
charge the Populists with the Repub-
loan victory, while no one is to blame
bat the Democratic party. Sewall
was their stumbling block. The Pop
ulists told them all the time that no
Watson meant no Bryan, but they
only laughed at them, and they see
now when it is too late, but they
should blame their leaders and no one
else. If they had been honest and
made some concession they could
have won, but when the Populists
saw that they were after name and
nothing else they followed no further.
If the Democrats had been patriotic
and met the Populists half way they
would now have been rejoicing over
victory, while as it is they are
mourning over defeat and thinking
what fools they were. 1 think
they see that the Populists are not SO
insignificant after all. I suppose the
leaders will go home now and go to
blowing, and next time they are
offered two million votes they will
accept. Democrats, I am sorry for
you because I don't believe you knew
any better but experience is a dear
lesson not soon forgotten, SO bear up
bravely, try to profit by your bitter
lesson and don't consider yourself so
strong next time and if any one wants
to help you let them do it.

Moody's Great Bible.
T. JEFF JOHNSON

Dwight L, Moody, the famous
evangelist, has made contract with
The Ladies' Homs Journal, by which
he will conduct in that magazine q
series of popular Bible atndies in the
form of a great National Bible Class
1t will be made into a regular and
permanent department of the Jour.
nal, and is to be known as "Mr
Moody's Bible Class" The evsnge-
list will personally lead his unique
"Bible Glass" each month in she ex-
position of some of the vital Bible
truths, and will naturally appeal to a
large circle Of readers.
Rosa Bonheur leads the life of a
recluse in her chateau in the depths
of the Forest of Fontsineblsau, near
Paris. She secludes herself from ell,
and it was with the greatest difficulty
that the editors of The Ladies' Home
Journal succeeded In getting a pro-
position before her that she should
write her autobiography for that
magazine. After nearly years ef-
fort they were successful, and once
started on her work the great painter
found so much interest In 1t that she
made over a dozen special studies
and pictures Of animals TO accom-
pany the text. The Autobiography
cal article, with the valuable unpub-
lished drawings, will appear in the
Christmas Journal, together with
portraits of Rosa Bonhenr as she
works in her studio and home.

President Mckinley.

The election yesterday though
holly contested in most of the States
of the Union passed off quietly and,
as was to be expected, resulted in q
victory for Mckinley and the gold
standard.
Populists throughout the Uni,n
naturally sympathized with Bry n
because they believe him to be an
honest, sincere man with strong lean
ing towards the reforms demanded
for years by the Peoples party. But
tbs Democratic bosses and wire
pullers were never known to do a
righteous thing without marring 1t
with greater wrong, and to keep up
the party's well earned character for
insincerity, after nominating Bryan,
whose record was q guarantee of
good faith, so far as he was concerned,
the convention forthwith proceeded
to handicap HIN by the nomination of
Sewall, an Eastern banker, railroad
king, monopolist and proteotionist,
whose whole life had been spent in
the service of plutocracy and whose
every act and interest gave the lie to
the statement that his sympathies
we're VITA the laboring masses.
Populists could and would have
overlooked the GOODNESS and studied
slights which Mr.. Bryan himself
heaped upon item and voted for him
and man like him on the other end
Of the ticket, but to stultify them
selves and sacrifice their party and
principles by voting for Sewsll never,
never, neverl
To add to the disgust of every true
retormer in the lsnd, the Democratic
managers with Jim Jones at the head
instead Of striving to secure harmony
in the ranks Of the opponents Of the
gold standard did everything possible
TO foment strife and discord. Tricked,
duped and deliberately insulted by
the leaders of the party that had
stolen their platform, and denounced
by the Democratic press from one
end of the country to the other, it is
not surprising that many Populists
stung to the quick by such ungener-
Gus treatment, should have forgotten
for the time being the cause for
which they had fought SO long and
valliantly, and in spirit of resent.
ment, voted for Mckinley.
The Messenger regrets that suoh a
feeling should have pervaded the
hearts and minds Of any Of its friends,
out it cannot deny the provocation
was grest. Insolent over their sue,
CESS in stealing the Populist platform,
the Democratic leaders and press lost
no opportunity to humiliate and de.
grade the men, who had dedicate
their lives and sacrificed their tins
and money to arouse the pubic con.
science against the enoroachments of
plutocrsoy. Goaded to desperation
by the taunts of their old enemy and
being thoroughly convinced there
was no sincerity in the men who
backed the Bryan movement, the
Populists have, it seems, in despera-
ton struck back st their prosecutors,
and FREQ silver-or- bust Democracy is
indeed "busted" this morning.-The
Okolons, (Miss.) Messenger, Nov. 4.

1t was when Washington's army was
passing the most terrible winter ever
known in the colonies. The snow was
drifted everywhere. The cold was bit
ing, and not dry log to be found for
miles. The soldiers were half naked
and almost tentless. But there was not
amurmur IN the ranks.
One day late in December was especi-
ally severe. The snow filled tho air and
half buried the camp. Toward evening
q strange outfit drove inside the lines.
It was an ox-tsam dragging four heavy
sleds, loaded high and covered with
countless blankets.
"From the women in the town." said
the driver a. he came to q halt.
The men came running from the huts
and tents and the blankets were torn of
with . shout. On the sleds were
baskets and baskets filed to the brim
with rich brown doughnuts. and pinned
to every basket was sprig OF holly, and
q pleasant Christmas greeting.
