Indignantly and s~pitefully from the

Would they accept them the last twinge
of disappointment would vanish like a
shadow hurled into the burning face of

would bring a gladness and elevation
of spirit that the delicious inspiration

EIGHTH DISTRICT.

Robert Martin is improving the ap.
p%aarance of his farm very much by en-
closing it with a new fence. Squire
Martin. of johnson City, is erecting a
barn on his farm at Embrevi Vile juno.
ton. Rev. j.. P. Little preached quite
an instructive sermon ut Bells last
Sunday. He will preach at Chestnut
Grove the fourth Sunday of this month,
at 1890 o'clock. Through the solicita-
tons of Col. Ebert Reeves, of johnson
City, the Southern Railway Company
have agreed to the construction of a
sidetrack on their line of road at a point
in the Eighth District half way be-
tween Jonesboro and johnson City.
The enterprising farmers living lear
this point will furnish the ties and
grade the roadbed. The great amount
of valuable timber near this point led
Col. Reeves to push the matter and he
deserves much commendation, as this
shipping point will be of great benefit
to the people of the Eighth, Ninth and
Tenth Districts. The old adage that "a
drowning a will catch at a straw"
has been we'll exemplifed in the secret
actions OF Sheriff Pritchett. Mr.. Pritch'
EFT knows that unless he can gain a
large number of votes between now
and August, that he will be defeated.
He also realizes that defeat to him this
time, means a free pass up Salt River
never to return. Before the snap cleo
ton, that elected John w. Boreing
magistrate of the Eighth District Mr..
Pritchett consoled himself with the
idea that he had in his possession the
political silver key sixteen to one,
that would unlock the sentiments and
the hearts of the voters of this district.
In order to prove to the rest of the
voters of Washington County that thi:
was a fact. Mr.. Pritchett informs the
leading Democrats Of the district to gel
to work and examine the political
lock" and see that all the screws have
been frightened, the springs creased
and that he would accomplish the res
by ordering a snap election" anG
turning the sixteen to one silver key
The democratic servants having re
ceived these orders accordingly went tt
work upon this terrible rusty, screwless
old lock, to prepare it for the "16 to

and quite a number of sympathizinl
Democrats made the application. They
all worked manfully, replacing al
missing screws and springs with fret
coined 16 to l silver screws and springs
During this time John w. Boreing, wa
tickling the loving hearts of the voter
with a key of pure gold, that he order

Pritchett's ''16 to / silver key" give
it a devil of a twist, and telephones t
Pritchett that it won't fit; Jasper PEG

Dig down to the cause of your sick
ness if you want to get well and stay
well. Most likely it's indigestion. The
irritating poisons of fermenting, putrid
food, left in the stomach by indigestion,
cause headache, neuralgia, nervous.
ness, dizziness, stomachache, nausea,
irritability, and all the other well known
symptoms of indigestion. They also
cause many pains and disorders which
are often laid to other causes and hence
are not easily cured. But as soon as the
poIsons are removed, all these symp-
toms and disorders disappear, because
there is nothing left to cause them.
Nothing succeeds in this like Shaker
Digestive Cordial, because it prevents
the undigested food from fermentingi in
the stomach and helps the stomach to
digest its food. Sold by druggists price
10 cents to 81 a bottle.

THE free silver craze" as it is run
and managed by the free silver luna
tics of the Democratic party, is a most
venal and vicious assault upon the
honesty, integrity and credit of the
Government. How any such a crusade
against the interests and property of
all classes can receive the endorsement
and support of any intelligent man, be
he Democrat or Republican, is more
than passing strange. Between the
two extreme views on the currency
question there is a safe, happy, golden
mean, and as is the case invariably in
all things touching the public veal,
the Republicans have and hold it.

THE Sweetwater Courier says: Elk.
Congressman Enloe, of Tennessee, who
is an authority on the Democracy of
his State, says of the outlook: ITEM
nessee is in good shape. We will elect
our Democratic State ticket by an old
time majority. The people are as mad
as hornets over the '94 slump, and are
going to expatiate that slip by eating
up the Republicans in November.

of cannibalism, the ratio of brains in

The housekeeping Of Minister Willis.


Inc Home-COmtng of Minister Willis.
Minister Willis is booked for a home
coming in April. and 1t Is rumored that he
may not return to his POST The question is
not important in itself. Fortunately for the
people Of the United States and the people
of Hawaii, the bonds that knit them tn
gether are now 50 strong that not even the
presence Of an American minister In COM
mission at Honolulu distinguished for his
known hostility to the government to which
he Is accredited can disturb the amity that
exists between them The-situation Is thor
ouehly understood In both countries. The
people of this country have long since dis
claimed any responsibility for Mr.. Willis,
and the people Of Hawaii. manifesting a re-
ciprocaI spirit Of fairness and frankness,
have long since charged Mr.. Willis I'D to
the only source from which he could have
emanated- And SO it Is that Mr.. Willis may
come or go at his leisure and pleasure with
out causing the slightest commotion.
But 1t may be noted in passing how COM
plste has been the collapse of the two men

0snts in his efforts to turn the hands back

A public meeting has been called by the
District Commissioners to effect such an
organization of citizens as may be deemed
necessary to make hospitable success Of
the forthcoming annual encampment of the
Union Veteran Legion. The meeting will
be held this evening at Willard Hall and
there ought to be a big attendance. Last
October the Commissioners and a number
of other prominent Washingtonians invited
the Legion to camp here this fall The in
vitation was accepted and the veterans are
coming; veterans who saw hard service at
the front and who are entitled to all manner
of consideration. Washington has played
the host acceptably on may occasions
but it has invariably done rs best when
some of tn, boys in blue were it's guests;
it will doubtless excel itself when comes
the opportunity..to entertain the Legion.
From the purely selfish standpoint there is
local advantage in the presence of such a
multitude as will attend the encampment
The combined Influences of sentiment and
business should result in rousing meet
ing at Willard Hall tonight.

on the dial plate In Hawaii. It Is entirely
proper to speak of both men in the past
tense. Both had served the country well
in Congress-. Mr.. Blount for twenty years
from Georgia. and Mr.. Willis for half that
time from Kentucky. Their careers were
by no means thought to be finished. Mr..
Blount was expecting to reappear as Sena-
tor, or as governor Of his native state, while
Mr.. Willis was a prospective candidate for
his old place in the House. Both, however,
while out Of Office yielded to inducement to
undertake work utterly unworthy Of them,
and both paid crushing penalty for their
weakness. Mr.. Blount returned home to
sink into obscurity, aid Mr.. Willis will re-
turn to find No welcome outside of the small
circle which he represents. His official acts
have been repudiated by his countrymen,
and there is no reason to believe that he
will ever again hold commission from their
hands.
1t is suggested that If Mr.. Willis does not
care to return to duty, the American le-
cation at Honolulu. except for the presence
of a consul general, may be closed for the
remainder Of Mr.. Cleveland's term in the
White House. No difficulty would result
from that. The value of an American min
lister in any country depends entirely upon
lis representative character. Mr.. Willis
las no value whatever at Honolulu. If
anything, he is standing affront to peo-
pie for whom the people of this country
feel a warm attachment. Why, then should
he stay there? Or, leaving on a visit home,
return there? The people of Hawaii will
understand that the closing Of the doors of
tie legation now will be followed by their
reopening year hence by a minister who
really represents the United States.

A Use for Analo.tan Island.

Wherever the District Commissioners
and Congress may finally decide to To-
cate the contagious hospital there will
srise more or less of opposition; more,
If the chosen spot Is In thickly-
settled neighborhood; less, II the site
is remote and in a part of the District
where the residents are not pugnacious or
self-assertive. That Washington must have
a completely-equipped contagious hospital
is admitted even by those persons whose
property appears to be threatened, and the
only amendment for which they clamor is
one moving what they regard as a menace
into another neighborhood. The idea that
a contagious hospital would be dissemina-
tor of disease is, strangely enough, held
by many sensible people, but the number
of these is as nothing when compared with
the well-informed multitude that simply
regards such an institution as undesirable
and does not want it near because it's
presence is likely for awhile to have a
depressing effect upon real-estate values.
Suggestions Of sites have been many but
the ore most likely to be satisfactory to
the majority is Analostan Island.
To this place, though, the. Health Officer
makes objection. In its present condition
and with its present surroundings the is
land is. says that official, unfit for hospital
purposes, but there is no indication in the
adverse opinion that the conditions and
surroundings are not amenable to treat
ment. South and east of tine island there
is a stretch of marsh land the drainage
and reclamation of which could be easily
and inexpensively accomplished; which
Being done, the island would doubtless be
as healthy as any other site on that level.
Then, too, it would be possible to make
provision on the island for another unde-
sirable but essential feature of latter-day
city life: the area of the island is suffl-
cient to accommodate both the hospital and
reduction-plant where the citys garbage
might be profitably disposed of without
offense either to the sensitive noses across
the Potomac or the hospital inmates at
the other end Of the island. A reduction
plant is not necessarily odorous, but it Is
alleged to be as undesirable a neighbor as
contagious hospital Is, in the popular es-
timetion, held to De. The two undesirable
institutions can easily be accommodated
on Analostan Island and If the things
which the health officer regards as OBJ
stacles are removed there is no reason
why the hospital, and perhaps a garbage
reduction plant, should not he so located
