LIMESTONE, TENN.

Ed. Herald and Tribune: In d re-
cent issue of the Morristown Republi-
a we notice a communication from
one B. F. Yeager, of this place, that is
as bare of truth as the North Pole is
of roses. He says the Republicans of
this county are for Mr.. Milburn for
Congress. Now the facts are that Mr..
Yeager does not know one thing about
the political status of this section. He
has had no chance to know, for he has
not been out Of his barnyard for months
only to 60 to the postofice to receive
his pension check every three months.
II a man happens to come to the town
who resembles a pension agent in
any way, he HES into the house and
has his poor tired wife to cover him
with porous plasters from head to foot.
His letter is like his war record, it will
not stand investigation. Now, as to
the following each candidate has in
this section, it a not be accurately
summed up. Mr.. Anderson has a
goodly number of substantial friends,
and is respected by all. Mr.. Brown
low has his personal friends, who are
not few; beyond a 1oubt he is much
the strongest man in the field. With
no ill will toward Mr.. Milburn, we
assert, without the fear of success.
full contradiction. that there are not
three men in this section who will
support him for the nomination. Now,
for ourselves, W. are for the Grand
Old Party" and we believe a step in
the right direction will be to nominate
and to elect Hon. W. P. Brownlow as
our representative. for the Fifty Fifth
Congress as part payment for service
rendered his party. TRUE BLUE,

TO WHOM HONOR is DUE.

We take off our hat to the honest
Democratic newspapers Of Tennessee.
They have demonstrated to an admir-.
ing world that they are controlled by
men of principle and integrity, men
who are not 80 blinded by political
prejudices that they can not discern
right from wrong, men who turn away
with unutterable loathing and scorn
from partisan advantage and success
tainted with moral turpitude and
crime. They seem determined to purify
their party within the party lines or sink
it into %"innocuous .desuetude." They
make use Of plain, terse, vigorous
English in demanding the retirement of
criminals from the party leadership
and that their places be filled by com
petent and reputable men.
Prominent among this class of hon.
orable and decent newspapers are the
Bristol Courier, Chattanooga Times
and Nashville Banner. Regardless of
consequences to the party, they have
never let up in their sweeping and SO
we're denunciations of the Guberna-
torial steal, the un%provoked attempt of
Frank Smith to STAY Judge Butler, the
murderous attack of Chief Justice
Snodgrass upon John r. Beasley, and
all the black and damning disgraces
and scandals that stick to the Turney
regime like the shirt Of Nessus. They
dwell upon these pregnant themes with
increasing disgust and exhaustless Sc.
verify.
The Bristol Courier talks the lead in
fiery indignation. We have followed
its cause with special interest and
pride. We.have carefully read it daily
issues for months, and there has not
appeared an article, paragraph, sen.
tence, line, word, syllable or punctua.
ton mark that by any possible inter-
probation could be construed into a
vindication or c~ondonement of the in
EQUITIES and crimes of the lawless and
bloody anarchists that are now domi.
mating Tennessee.
The only hope of purifying the Dem
ocratic party, of restraining the con.
scienceless ferocity of its vicious crimi
nails and of restoring a clean ana repu.
table leadership lies in the efforts of
these decent and worthy Democratic
newspapers to gain and maintain an
~unsullied party name.

OBITUARY.
MARY BARNES GRESHAM.

Mary Il. Barnes was born February
IL, ls47. She was united in marriage
with James NJ. Grisham on October 10,
1862. She was the mother of ten chill
dren, nine of whom are living. Joined
The Disciples'C Church during her youth,
and continued faithful TO this Chris.
tlan organization which has only con-
science and the Bible for a creed. She
was stricken with paralysis last June,
but partially recovered. On January
D there was a change for the worse.
January II, just as the sun was sink.
ing behind the hills, the spirit of Mary
Grisham took its way to a sunless land
where there is no need of q sun for the
glory of God is the light. On the fol.
lowing day a large number of relatives
and friends listened to a beautiful
tribute from Rev. E. G. Buck, of Abing
don, Virginia. Then the burial took
place at the family burying ground
on Buffalo Ridge, near the home where
Mrs. Grisham had lived.
This good woman believed that the
Creator had a work for her to do, and
u determination born of love and duty,
she brought gladness to many sad
hearts; and because of her many acts
OF charity, oftimes has some poor un.
fortunate invoked the blessings of God
to rest upon her. For those who were
happy she had asmile; for the afflicted
a sympathetic heart and a willing
band; for the orphan, a wonderful
motherly love; for the distressed a tear,
She gave to earth as a legacy, a life
worthy of emulation; she gave to
Heaven as an adornment, a soul for
eternity.
A friend has passed from the lives OF
many. To ONE she was the dearest
earthly friend. We bow our heads in
grief. We would not call her back.
We reason with ourselves about the
design of the Creator. We lift our
eyes Heavenward and say, Father, Thy
will be done. Then 60, friend, wife,
sister, daughter, mother, for we would
not have you suffer longer. Go, weary
soul, your mission is grandly accom-.
plished; you have lived for your fellow
creatures and your God; rise from
worldly sorrows to the rest which was
purchased by the Savior who both
lived and died for us all.

w. p. BrOwnlOW,

The News does not propose to keep
any one in doubt, very long, as to who
it is for. There are quite a number for
Congressional honors in the First Ten
nessee District, all of whom, so far as
we know, would wear the honors with
becoming dignity and credit. But
among them all we must make q first
choice, and the gentleman whose name
heads the list is Walter P. Brownlow,
of J%onesboro. There are others who
are just as well qualified, no doubt,
intellectually, morally and socially,
but in a knowledge of legislation, the
wants of the people and intricacies of
public life at Washington in the sew.
eral departments of the Capitol, Mr..
Brownlow has no equal in the First
District. His past services in the in.
terest of his party and people sntitle
him, we think, to at least one term in
Congress. He is genial, kind hearted,
capable, honest, energetic. And last,
but not least, he is a worthy member
of the fraternity known as journalists,
sometimes called editors. That being
the case, from a sympathetic fellow
feeling, so long as he is a candidate,
we can not, If we would, help from
giving him q cordial support. Another
thing in his favor, he is popular with
the people. How can the people turn
down a big hearted, %jovial, all round
good man like Walter Brownlowp who
loves his fellow man more than him
self, especially if that fellow man hap.
pens to be his friend. We are for
Brownlow and we believe he will win.
Come out, boys, show your colors,
and let's give friend Brownlow a lift;
mighty few of you, way down in your
hearts, but don't know he deserves it.
Bristol News.
We learn from the Herald and Trib.
n of Jonesboro, that Hon. W. P.
Brownlow is being pressed by his many
Republican friends of the First Con.
%gressional District as a candidate for
Congress. The Herald and Tribune
has a strong article espousing his can
didacy. Mr.. Brownlow is well known
throughout the State as an able man
and one of the best and most efficient
Republican workers, and we doubt not
the standard of East Tennessee Repub.
licanism would be nobly borne and
sustained in she coming campaign, and
should he become one of our Congress.
men, the honor and dignity of the
State will be carefully guarded by one
who has large experience and acknowl,
edged ability. Graphic.
Says the Erwin Magnet: Politics are
beginning to liven up a little in this
part of the Congressional District.
From the best information obtainable
Col. Brownlow is undoubtedly in the
lead in Unicoi County.

Three Novelties.

Among the fruit and flower novelties
which 1896 brings us, we notice that
the EN- terprising and reliable firm Of
James Wick q Sons, Rochester, N. Y,
are already calling attention to three,
which seem to have won great favor
where known. There are The Double
Sweet Pea, the only one in the world
true to name. Bride OF Niagara" the
Early Leader Tomato" the earliest Of
all the early tomato family and sure
to become Il great favorite, and the
already famous blackberry, the "Rath-
bun"
From the praise and compliments
given so abundantly to the bride of
Niagara this sweet pea must be more
than charming and from the encomi-
ums lavished on both the new tomato
and this new blackberry, it is pretty
certain no garden desiring to have the
first and best of everything, can be
without these three new corners.
By the way, readers, are any Of you
80 far behind the times as not 10 know
"Vick's Floral GuideY" If any of you
have never seen it, send 10 cents to
this firm at Rochester, N. Y, and get
a copy. You can deduct this from the
first order for seeds and the pleasure
and information their Guide will give
you will certainly induce you to keep
up the acquaintance.

In Remembrance of Uriah II. Souibb


o, for the touch of a vanished hand,
And the sound of a voice that is still.
Only a few months ago we could
grasp the thin, white hand, listen to
the loving voice, and look upon the
pale, suffering, yet sweet face of our
dear father. How long, o, how long,
seem those few sad months and how,
in our sadness, our hearts cry out to
God for that blessed peace and comfort
which He alone eau give. So bravely
he battled against the pale faced mes
senger for many weary months, and
how anxious did his friends and loved
ones grasp the f~aintest thread of hope
that he might be spared a few days
longer. For many days he seemed 50
near death that
"Our very hopes belied our fears,
Our fears, our hopes belied,
We thought him dying when he slept
And sleeping when he died."
He fingered with US until one Sab
bath morning in November, then death
came to his relief, and his eyes were
closed in that long sweet sleep, and
his loving voice was forever hushed.
Never again will hat weak, trembling
voice be heard around the family altar.
Dear Mother, sister and brother, how
sad and empty seems the home, and
how we miss the face Of our dear one;
yet we feel assured from the blessed
words of hope he left with US, that his
name is written on high and with the
songs of Zion on his lips, he is now re
joicing with the blood washed throng
in heaven. Ere long we, too, shall lay
down our arms and give back our spii-
its to Him who gave them, and if all is
well with us we shall then strike glad
hands with our dear father, in that
happy home, where partings come no
more.
I'VE saw not the angel, who met him there;
The gates of the city we could not see;
Yet over the river, the peaceful river,
My father stands waiting to welcome me.''
