MORNING STAR.

The people of this section are enjoy.
ing most excellent health at this writ.
ing, there being no indisposition worthy
oil note. A goodly number of our farm
ers are taking time by the forelock in
turning their soil preparatory for spring
crops. The present prospects for a
good wheat crop, coupled with an un-
usually large acreage sown and the
great advance of prices, are indeed
features pregnant with encouragement
and prosperity to the farmer. In fact
all business enterprises seem to be
taking on new life and vigor since the
grand victory on the side of honest
government, protection to home indus.
tres and the American laborer. There
has been some transfers of real estate
in this vicinity recently. G. w. Bow
ser purchased the farm of Franklin
Fnlkerson, near Bethany Church, and
Mr.. Fulkerson purchased the prop
erty Of Elijah Shipley, Jr., near this
point, and has taken possession. Jesse
Archer and family are now occupying
the residence vacated by Mr.. Fulker-
son. The elegant mansion in course of
erection for r. NJ. X. Deakins, is near
ing completion, although several more
days may be necessary to give it the
proper finishing touch, and when COM
pleted, will be the finest residence in
these diggins. Mr.. and Mrs. s. T.
Douglass are now the happy occupants
of their new and handsome cottage
residence recently erected on their
land near the home Of Jas. M. Bacon.
N. Il. Keefauver is building a new
dwelling on the east end of his fathers
farm, near Berea, and anticipates a
permanent location there III the near
future. Joe Sifford has erected a
dwelling on his land lately purchased
of Rev. G. b. Cox, near Keebler's Y
Roads, and has moved thereto. A. d.
Hale has built a new addition to his
residence and otherwise added to its
Improvement. Mrs. Ella White and
daughter, Mablo, of Three Springs,
Hamblen County, have returned to
their home after a brief visit to Mrs.
Whites parents, Mr.. and Mrs. L. s.
Douglass, near here. Their many
friends here regret that their visit was
so brief, aud hope they will soon come
again. A Miss Blubecker, of Romeo,
Greene County, is visiting her aunt,
Mrs. Jas. NJ. Bacon, near Keebler's X
Roads. From the way certain widow
ers are casting a ''sheep's eyer around,
we think we can report some weddings
soon. NEsroR.

Mrs. Byrd, wife of Abram Byrd, died
at her home in this place last Tuesday
evening. She had been a great sufferer
for more than a year from a sore foot
which she had amputated but a few
months ago. She was well on the road
to recovery from this terrible affliction
when she was taken with a severe
cold which superinduced pneumonia
from which she died. Mrs. Byrd's
maiden name was Copp. She left four
children, the Oldest of them being only
about nine years old. Her remains
were taken to near her old home in the
First District on Horse Creek for inter
ment. Mr.. Byrd and these little chill
dren have the sympathy of all their
friends in this place. Mr.. Byrd's
mother has taken charge of his children
who are scarcely old enough to rea.
lie the loss of their mother.

There is more catarrh in this section
OF the country than all other diseases
put together. and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For a great many years doctors pro.
nounced it a local disease, and pre-.
scribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment pronounced it incurable. Science
has proven catarrh to be a constitu-
tional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Ca.
tarrh Cure, manufactured by f. j..
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only
constitutional cure on the market. 1t
is taken internally in doses from 10
drops to q %teaspoonful. 1t acts directly
on the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system. They offer one hundred
dollars for any case it fails to cure.

JOHNSON FLYING COLUMN.
Wheelmen Organize to Participate In
Political ParadeS.

Quite a number of wheelmen met at
the Courthouse last evening to perfect
an organization to be known as the
johnson Flying Column
David Falconer called the meeting to
order, and stated its Object, which was
primarily, he said, to aid III the re-elec-
ton of Grove L. Johnson to Congress.
The following resolution was unani-
mously adopted by the meeting:
Whereas, We fully approve and in
dorse the course in Congress of our
Representative, Hon. Grove L. john
son, we pledge him our hearty support,
and will aid during this campaign to
secure his reelection. For that purpose
the johnson Flying Column has been
organized. The undersigned, indorsing
what is hereinbefore set forth, enroll
ourselves as members of said column.
The roll started out with the following
signatures, which it is thought will be
quadrupled within the next few days:
Frank F. Atkinson, S. Luke Howe, J..
A. Payen, A. E. Miller, George w. Ham
lin, George F. Shepherd, Z. j. Walker,

f. M. Woodson, c. N. Stein, J. 5. Fra
zee and M. S. Lavenson.
A. j. Bruner who was elected Char
man Of the meeting, suggested the cleo
ton Of a President of the organization
The suggestion was adopted, and
Frank F. Atkinson was chosen without
opposition.
President Atkinson said there were
two reasons why Congressman Johnson
should be reelected. One was because
he was Sacramentan, and the other
because he favored good roads, which
is what every wheelman is looking for.
H. G. Nixon was elected Secretary,
and M. S. Lavenson Treasurer.
The officers of the club were consti-
tuted a Committee on Uniforms, with
the understanding that each member
should at once attend to providing Linn
self with one.
No further business coming before the
meeting, it adjourned to the call of the
Chair.

there is in Nina Gleason's foil to her as

ling Of the role of the Shrewd, schem-

tempts to undermine the wife in the af-

disposes of merit very equally between
