go home with him to dinner and of
course they took the opportunity to eat
enough to do for several days. They
ate all the meat in the house. Next
morning about o'clock some of our
citizens saw A. X. with gun over
his shoulder going at lively gait
towards the woods. Some wanted to
know what was up and Andy replied
, that it was a "groand hog case" l
, have got to sc, some meat. He must
be pretty good shot for he came
back with fifteen squirrels.
lfall men were as honest as Cal.
Stephens this world would be great
deal better than it is. He owed this
5 Office sum of money, which was not
: due for several months yet and for
, which we held no note. Tuesday he
: came in and settled up III full and for
( the paper to Jan I, 1897. In addition
to this Cal has taken the paper
e five years and for three years sent
copy to his brother, all Of winch he
paid promtly. The TINES with many
other friends wish many more years
of prosperity may be added to his life,
, for san honest man is the noblest
work of God"
4 The papers have had much to say
a i'll the past ten days concerning a
), rich find of gold on the Ross property
S IN the Coker Creek region. The re-
II vlval of interest in gold mining
throughout the world gives new inter
est to the fact that in East Tennessee
1t are some as profitable gold bearing
u lands rs can be found on the CONT
J ne At, lands that would equal if not
J. surpass anything in the West if prop
= erly handled with necessary machin-
L cry, etc. This land is in tire noun
i famous part OF the adjoining county
&c of Monroe, III what is known as the
n Cocker Creek gold district
= In nearly all of the neighboring
: counties the Republican Executive
Committees have met and set the
y date Of their primaries or conventions.
J. We suggest that it is about time FOX
i Blounts Com. to meet. We also
:, !, suggest that the primary, or whatever
- method is taken to choose candidates,
ID be held as early as possible as Toe
of much time given before the
h. candidates are chosen always stirs W
u, animostles which do not have time
lie to die out before the regular election
* and also increases the probability o
ID an independent candidate. Let IL
have the fight over and then all vot,

at the relief of organization known a
to the National Guard of East Tenne.
nd see. 1t may be of interest to know
is this organization came into existanc
he as the result of general field orde
be by Gen. Burnside IN 1868. Thi
ay order invited and authorized the loya
thy citizens of East Tennessee to organic
ng for military purposes. These valiou
We companies were equipped and rer
dered military service, but neve
les having been mustered into the Unit
,le ed States services have never receive
q any pay. The four companies in thi
is county were commanded by Eliza
or Walker, Newton Mcconnell, Hami
vo ton Upton and VIM. Bingham
IS. Many of our citizens can testify t
is the effective work done by thes
it companies and we hope Judge Gil
* sons bill will be passed as it woul
lat only be justice to the men, who con
ats posed these companies. =
