TWO Misses Boyd, OF G~reeneville,
were visiting Mrs. Byrd the first of the
week.
If you are not sure of getting your
moneys worth, we suggest that you go
see the Happy Home man, he will treat
you right.
A. G. Britton has a nice line of hats
and invites all who want bargains to
call on him. Look for the Happy
Home sign.
The candidate has one consolation.
A little tobacco, a hearty handshake
and lively interest in the voters family
go just as far as they used to.
R. F. Wells, of Hartman, made us a
short but pleasant call Monday. He
speaks very encouragingly Of the oil
prospects of that part of the State, and
is extensively engaged in the lumber
trade.
S. H. l.. Cooper, II. H.. kirkpatrick,
A. N. Hacker and Misses Annie BrowL-
low and Stella Pritchett went up to
Bristol Saturday evening to hear Old
Homestead. Apart of the crowd came
back that night but some of them did
not return until Monday.
Next Saturday is the municipal cleo.
ton, if you do not want to lose your
vote you had better vote for the old
board. Under their administration
the town has been put in excellent con
dition, and w can boast of the incest
little town in this part of the State.
Miss Ella NJ, Russell, of Jonesboro,
Tenn, is the only Hospital trained
nurse in East Tennessee. Having a
thorough knowledge of her work, she
is ready at any time to 60 when called
upon. All who need her call at j. c..
Cousins, Jonesboro, Tenn. Terms not
unreasonable.
w. B. Seaton, one of our old and
staunch Republican friends, was in
town Monday, and informed us that he
is a candidate for the office of District
Assessor for the Fifteenth Civil District.
Mr.. Seaton has had considerable ex.
perience in the business, and would
make an efficient officer.
Candidates for the tax assessorship in
the various precincts are blooming out
ahead of the Easter flowers. We hardly
think it expedient for these aspiring
gentlemen to express any decided con-
victions on the Venezuelan matter. Be
sure to fight shy of the war question.
It's loaded.
The recent copious rainfall was badly
needed to replenish the ci~sterns, wells
and springs. In many sections the
lack of water had become serious.
When droughts come, and they are be-
coming more frequent and prolonged
every year, the people are reminded of
their ruinous folly in destroying the
forests.
Messrs. G. A. Snow & Co., of Wash,
ington, D. T., lawyers and agents for
procuring patents, will send free to
any address pamphlets with informa-
ton about home and foreign patents.
These contain also information about
caveats, copyrights, trade marks, in
fringement, design patents, abstracts
of decisions, etc., as we'll as the cost of
patents in United States and foreign
countries.
The funeral sermon of Mr.. and Mrs.
d. B. Barley will be preached in
Philadelphia Baptist Church on Sun
day morning, February 8, at II o'clock,
friends of the family are invited to be
present. The sermon will be preached
by Rev. w. c. Maupin. The deaths
occurred November 30 last. within
thirteen hours of each other. 1t had
long been their desire that they might
die at the same time, and their wish
was singnlarly granted. They were
among our oldest and best known citi-
zens, and their death was mourned by
a number of relations and friends.
