DON'T SqUirIn.
John T. Byrum,

Rev. John T. Byrum,
DEAR SIR:-A knowledge of nv
name would be Of no advantage to
you. 1t would add nothing to the
strength Of my article, neither would
it detract from it. There is no rule
of newspaper ethics requiring such
communications to be published over
the authors real name. If | were
attacking You as man or Chris
tian the case might be different. |
do not find fault with you but with
your arguments. If.you can meet
the points I raised, do so. If you
cannot, be honest and admit it.
Don't go around, Gguratively speak
ing, with a chip on your shoulder
giving people the impression that
you are spelling for a theological
controversy and then, when an op-
portunlty for little discussion pre-
sents itself, abandon the field because
you do not know the name of your
opponent do not wish a single
soul to be lost If you can demon
strate that universal salvation is in
accordance with Gods great plan,
shall joyfuIly embrace the Doctrine,
for whatever God wills is just and
right.
/ did not even assert that Judas
would be damned. / merely called
lyour attention to three facts, viz,
| that your assertion that Judas was
one of the elect was not proven;
| that your claim that he was saved by
repentance was weak and puerile,
and that your statement that Peter
cursed his Master was contrary to
the ScripturaI account.
Have you any answer?
If so, meet the points at issue
isquarely. Don't squirm.
Yours for truth,
ORTHODOX,
Jasper, Tenn, Sept. 12, 1886.

No Governor.

For the past four years Tennessee
has practically been without a gov
ernor. Judge Turney was incapaci-
tated by age and physical infrmaties
from attending to the business of the
Office at the time he was first elected,
and his condition was worse at the
time he was counted IN the last term,
when Clay Evans was elected to
that office. 1t was an evil day for
Democracy when this deed was done.

ETY.. Mr.. Wetmore writes the fol-
lowing concerning its history and
merits: 81 have the Foster apple
which is a native seeding, and the
native tree still stands a monument
to be seen in an old field near my
home where, about the year 1880 a
cabin was built and the tree planted.
The facts were obtained from old
residents, and from the county rec
Ords showing when the entry was
made of the lands. James Lee is
said to have purchased some fine ap-
Piles from fiat boat that foated
down the Hlwassee river, his wife
saving and planting some of the
seeds. When the trees were q year
old this family moved to the farm
where the Foster now stands, taking
the little trees with them. These
were transplanted, one of which
proved especially valuable and de-
rives the name it generally bears
from James Lee. The Foster ap-
pie is known about here and adjoin-
ing counties. Many scions have
been taken from the original tree
and also numerous trees grown from
| the seed Of the fruit. None of the
/ seedlings, however, possess the quail
ties of the original tree. This old
tree has never failed to bear large
crops every year since | have known
it, as many as forty bushels being
picked from it some years. The fruit
is medium in size, though, on young
trees it is above medium; red, suba
cid, crisp, tender and juicy, with
tough skin. Quality very good, un
usually productive. Fruit has been
kept until the middle of May, but is
good to use from November. IL
growth it is fair, though not so rapic
as some kinds, but the roots are very
strong. 1t seems to produce more
root than top, which is great poin
IN its favor. Apples were genera
