AT O'BRIEN'S.
RrCE's "EvANGELINE."

Columns have been written about Rice's
ngeline"-dear, sweet "Evangel-
ine," the girl of dreams, of poetry and
music.
The "Evangeline" company now on
tour is larger than any road organization
Mr.. Rice has yet produced. The chorus
is drilled to perfection, and there are
enough pretty girls in the piece to STAN
pede a monastery. The Amazonian
March is a wonderful spectacle. and
world. More people have been pleased
with "Evangeline' than any other pro-
duction on the stage.
The New York cast, the New York
scenery, the pretty girls from New York,
with their tantalizing lace draperies,
their French heels, their Partisan silks,
their gazelle eyes, and their heart-break-
ing mischief will be seen at the perform
ance to be given on Tuesday evening
The New York Herald says "Mr. For
bulky, but babyish old maiden, was there.
1t is altogether an exceptionally fine
company"
The Advertiser said: "The whole per-
Torrance was so bright, so tuneful and
so attractive that the writer felt like
climbing over the orchestra railing to
congratulate Manager Rice then and
there"
The Press said: 'Evangeline' is now
at it's best. 1t is musical, merry en-
tertainment, plentiful in pretty girls,
good dancers, and amusing comedians,
and is as diverting a performance as may
be found in town."
The new production of sweet Evan
geline" with whole stage full of beau
ties. shapely forms, and cherry ripe lips,
and singers will help charm the audi
ence which the Lone Fisherman and his
fish are to capture on Tuesday evening
at the O'Brien opera house.
The prices for this engagement will be
made to conform to the times, notwith-
standing the great expense in transport
ing this large organization, and are to be
$780, 75c soc and Csc.

Let Justice BE Done.

EDITOR HERALD AND TRIBUNE-Uni.
col County is pressing her claim for
representation in the Legislature, and
on what we conceive to be just and
equitable grounds. In fact the recog.
milton of this claim is positively de-
manded by every consideration of
fairness and justice. We have no d.
cided preference as to the candidates
for Floater, but We are impressed with
the fact that Unicoi should be honored
aud rewarded for her answering
loyalty to the Republican party and
that the time has now arrived for this
expression of the party. Unicoi has
no member of the Legislature of hel
own. and certainly she ought to be
compensated for this disadvantage by
giving her the Pictorial nominee. Lei
us act fairly andsjustly towards the
staunch and noble Republicans of oul
young sister county. j F. Toney will
make a splendid Representative.
FAIR PLAY

GEORGIA AND PROTECTION.

The single State of Georgia now has
more manufactures than the whole
South had in 1850. Agriculture no
longer monopolizes the attention Of
her people, but in imitation of the
prosperous communities of the North
they are reaching out for additional
means of thrift and progress. Diversity
of industries has passed beyond the ex-
perimental stage in Georgia. The
masterful genius of Protection called
forth her money, vitality and brains
and made her the Pennsylvania of the
South. The Wilson law struck her, as
it did the rest of the country, with the
force of a tornado, and the misery and
devastation it wrought are forceful
object lessons teaching her people the
direction in which their interests lie.
Could the superstitions and prejudices
of her people be wiped out like chalk
marks from the blackboard and the
thinking and progressive men of the
State dominate its sentiment Georgia
would be found in the Republican
column next November. Such also,
would he the case in Tennessee and
Alabama, whose future depends en-
tirely upon the development and utili-
cation of their natural wealth. 1t is
only the curse of wilful ignorance and
partisan bitterness that keep these
States hampered and enthralled by the
heresies of free trade. Protection is
the living, vital issue before the peo-
pie. 1t will not down, because it has
in it the elements of justice, fairness
and common sense, and will bring
comfort and wealth to all the people of
all sections.
Herald and tribune. [volume] (Jonesborough, Tenn.) 1869-current, 1896-05-06
What We Believe.

We believe Unicoi County is entitled
to the honor Of furnishing the candi-
date for Floater this year. Our county
has been established for twenty years,
during which time we have never had
a representative in the Legislature, ex-
cept in 1880, sixteen years ago, Col.
John X. Miller, while a citizen of the
county was elected to the State Senate.
No county in the State has been more
loyal to the Republican party than
Unicoi, and no county has been less
recognized for its loyalty. We have
not the population to entitle us toa
a County representative, hence our
only chance and hope for recognition
is, that the candidate for Foater be
selected from our county, at least once
in every fifteen or twenty years. We
have worthy men in our county who
could fill the place with honor aud
credit. We appeal to the voters of this
Pictorial District to come to our assist
ance this year in helping to nominate
and elect a man from loyal Unicoi 10
that honorable position.
We believe that j. F. Toney ia the
man whom Unicoi County would like
to see honored with this position. Mr..
Toney is not IN orator or public speaker,
but he is a man possessed with untiring
energy and perseverance, and we could
rely on his looking we'll to our interest
on all matters of Importance. He has
served our county one term as Circuit
Court Clerk and is now serving his Sec
ond term as County Court Clerk, hav.
ing been elected to Office by the largest
majority any one ever received in the
county, and has always proved himself
a worthy official. While at present,
Mr.. Toney has nothing to do with the
management of The Magnet, yet he is
the founder and present owner of the
paper which has heretofore done very
valuable service for the Republican
party, and it is hoped that the Republi-
cans Of this Pictorial District, in JUS
tice to our claim and our people will
recognize the fact that Unicoi's time
has come and act accordingly by
uniting upon Mr.. Toney as their CT dice
for the next Floter. II they will only
apply the grand principles OF reel
procity it will be seen that in all fair
ness to all other aspirants Mr.. Toney
should have the preference. Erwin
Magnet.

LETTER EROM OLD SOLDIER.

WHITEsBURG, TENN, April 81, 1896.
EDITOR HERALD AND TRIBUNE-Some
time before the primary election l
wrote a short article for the Herald
and Tribune in the interest Of Hon.
W. P. Brownlow, over the signature of
an old soldier, asking the old veterans
to give him their support. l spoke of
the free service he had rendered in an
increase pension claim and the interest
he took in it. / also named that Walt
~Brownlow, was with the Eighth Ten
nesssee cavalry and that when he
came and wanted to volunteer he
could not on account of his age. being
only fourteen years old. He was just
a little fellow, a mere kid. He did stay
with Is some time and was a pet with
all the boys. Well, some of the curious
who are always ready to think and
speak evil of those who they Just hap
pen not to like, say that the writer of
that article should have stated whether
1t was the Eighth Tennessee Regiment,
or the Eighth Federal Regiment. They
know very we'll; but l will state, for
the satisfaction of the more credulous,
that it was the Eighth Regiment of
Tennessee volunteer cavalry, United
States army. He was only a small
boy, a mere kid. He stayed round
Col. s. X. Patton's headquarters, and
done orderly duty through the Regi.
ment So o dear comrades, l hope
that this explanation will be satisfac.

were 80 anxious to know. Walter P.

NOT A PATH OF PRIMROSES.

Precedent and the force Of circum.
stances will compel the Democratic
State Convention to endorse the ad-
ministration of Peter Turney. This
will necessarily include the theft Of
the G%overnorship, the misdoings Of the
P%enitentiary ring and the infamies Of
the bride taking officials. This en-
dorsement, If the usual order of things
is observed, will be the chief plank In
the platform, and the nominee for
Governor must support and defend this
endorsement. Can Bob become the
apologist and champion of such a
graceless and infamous crew. II the
convention ignores Peter Turney and
his administration, it will be an open
aud explicit confession that both are
indefensible, and that it would be ia
tai folly to allow this last chapter in
the history Of the Democratic party in
Tennessee to be exhibited before the
people. That convention will be gov
erned as little as possible by precedent
and the usual order of things; 1t will
put Peter and his gang as far into the
background as it is possible to get
them; it will do its level best to change
the changeless fact that whatever
goes over the DEVILS back must come
back under his belly" But the honest
and intelligent people of the State, in
dignant over the black and hideou'
chapter of lawlessness and crime which
covers the last twoyears Of its history
can not be placated by such evasionI
and subterfuges. Peter Tarney is OF
trial, no matter who may he his substi
tute, and hence Bob's re entrance int
politics will not be a path of primroses
