who Forged the Papers?

Evidence multiplies that D. w. Boyer
secured his pardon by means of forged
papers. Gov. Turney being still absent
at his home, suffering with rheumatism,
it is impossible to learn who presented
the papers to the governor, though it is
understood that visitor at the peniten-
tiary brought them up. That Boyer
had a confederate somewhere is beyond
all question, as he could have bad no
opportunity himself to have used type
writer, and the letters and body of the
petition were typewrittcn.

There is but one purpose sought in the
holding Of the Centennial Exposition, and
that is the advertising of the resources
Of the whole of Tennessee to the world.
The occasion of the end of the first 100
years Of the existence Of Tennessee as
State should awaken patriotic feelings
in the breast Of every Tennessean. 1t is
desired that the display of resources Of
Tennessee at the exposition shall be as
complete as possible. This part Of the
work devolves upon the counties of the
State. and at the January terms of the
county courts n number of counties made
appropriations TO defray the expenses of
collecting exhibits. Space will be granted
free in any of the buildings or on the
grounds for the erection Of special struct-
ures for county headquarters. The invi-
tatiOn will be held open until April to
those counties that have not yet taken up
the matter. After that time it viii be
too late to arrange for adequate displays,
ard every Tennessean is urged to think
upon the matter seriously before it is too
late. Tennessee was not represented at
any Of the great fairs Of recent years
ard we are falling behind our sister
States in material progress. The advant-
ages to be derived by being well repre-
scented at Tennessee's own exposition are
incalcuIable.
