Great Day for the Heavy HItters.

Two games were scheduled between
Norfolk and Portsmouth yesterday, the
morning battle being fought out on the
latter's grounds and resulting in clear
victory for the Changers. due entirely to
their ability to hit Stockdale appar-
emily when they wanted to and the OPP
posite faculty i'm the Gulls, so far as
Brandt was concerned.
For the first six innings the Norfolk
men BANKED with monotonouS regu-
lartty. but in the seventh found Billy
for three hits. which, coupled with
Sheckerd's wild throw, let in three runs.
In the ninth hit. two-bagger and a
wild pitch resulted in another tally,
which made four and all.
The Changers began their run getting

intermittently until the eighth, when
there was sudden halt. Twice Reiman

and once the latter scored on one of

lied along with Hargrove and Katz in
the seventh. when the avalanche came.
With two men on bases Stockdale let
katz walk on purpose, filing the bases.
Then Burke stepped to the bat and sent

4 PLEA FOR PIE.

II is said to the victors belong the
spoils, and it is probably true. But
then there are times when the victor
gets left. In the matter of what is
known as legal advertising in this
county some singular facts are present,
ed. 1t has been customary to divide
this class of patronage-some of it go.
ing to the Democratic paper aud some
of it to Republican papers-by Repub.
lican office holders. This is all right,
perhaps; and is no doubt entirely salts
factary to the opposition paper. Just
now, however, we are reminded of the.
onesidedness of some things by the
appearance in the Democratic paper
published in this good old Republican
county of seven columns of back tax
sales, the fee for printing which will be
no inconsiderable sum. Now, Mr.. Cox,
don't you think you might have been
as liberal with your patronage as Re.
publican officers have been with them?
Could you not have spared a small slice
of the pie for Others who are just as
hungry as the Comet, aud do you not
think the people of the county would
have been as fully informed of the
threatened sale Of their property if you
had done so? Mr.. Pritchett, IL Sher-
iii, has been just about as persistent in
bestowing the patronage of his office
upon the Comet, and while we do not
like to complain, yet we would remind
the people that there may be a change
someday, and we can not be charged
with unreasonableness in saying that
we expect when the change comes we
shall have the advantage of the official
patronage.

Decoration Day,

Last Saturday, May 80, was memorial
day, and services were held at Union,
about five miles southeast of Jonesboro
The day was fine, and a splendid crowd
was present, both in numbers and con.
duct. A large number went from this
place, including the G. A. X. Post, head
ed by the cornet band, which, by the
way, wore their new uniforms for the
first time, and made a fine appearance.
The music they furnished was excellent,
and added much to the pleasure of the
occasion.
Addresses were delivered by DR.. J.. w.
C. Willoughby, Judge Hacker and Others
whose names we did not learn. The
graves of the dead in Union cemetery
were appropriately decorated, and due
respect shown the memory OF the COM
rades who sleep under the sod.

was commented on by all, and it is GER
tainly greatly to the credit Of our peo-

1T WON'T WORK,

A few, a very few Republicans-not
a bakers dozen-and princi.
pally confined to Washington County,
are trying to persuade the Democrats
to hold a convention and nominate q
candidate against Mr.. Brownlow. The
inducement to perpetrate such an alb
surdity is the pledge of their indi-
vidual and enthusiastic support. This
is not u very fascinating temptation
when the fact is brought to mind that
these dlsaffected malignants have not
had for some time an a%ppreciative ear
for the sweet concords of party har-
mony nor supported the party nomi-
nees, simply because they were not al
lowed to control entirely the party
machinery.
The trouble with this new movement
is that the Democrats know the IN
certainty, Righteousness and unpopu-
larity of these recalcitrants; that the
friendship they are rendering is the
result of chagrin and pique caused by
their enforced retirement from the
councils of the Republican party and
that any alignment with them for any
purpose will make the certainty of de-
feat doubly sure.
Nor does the difficulty in the way of
effecting such q deal stop here. The
ablest and most available Democrats
happen to be the most sensible men in
their party. They are aware of the
fact that Mr.. Brownlow is on safe and
solid ground; that his gains from the
outside will more than treble his losses
from the inside and that it is just as
impossible to defeat him in November
as it is to pluck Saturn from his rings
or to overturn one of the Alleghanies.
No Democrat has such an incumbersnce
of time and money on his hands as to
seriously attempt it. If a Democrat
does run, he will enter the canvass
with no expectation or possibility OF
success, and will be lost in such an
avalanche of ballots that he will moi
be found in the next decade.

WE'LL GIVE THEM BRAINS.

The Republicans are determined that
the Democrats shall have no ground to
complain of the m%ediocrity of their
representation in the next Legislature.
In East Tennessee they are nominating
their ablest and most experienced men
for legislative positions and this is the
case as far as, heard from in the other
two divisions of the State. East Ten
nessee will have two Republican ex-
Congressman in the Senate-Butler and
Houk-and one in the House-Petti-
bone. Each one of these gentlemen
would "hold down" the G%overnorship
with eminent credit and success. and
we have no doubt that every Republic
can in the next General Assembly
would make a far more creditable
record in the G~ubernatorial chair than
some Governors whom the Democratic
party has furnished.

currence of f%avoring circumstances,
may be elected and there may be a
majority of Democrats in the Legisla-
ture, but they will not have their own
way about everything by any a

OBITUARY

After n protracted illness of about three
years, which he bore with heroic forti-
tude and calmness, our dear brother,
VIM. y. Beals, passed unto rest, April 4,
1896, surrounded by his %sorrowing wife
and children. Bro. Beals was horn in
Washington County, Tenn, October .,
1921, and on the same farm he lived and
died. He professed faith in Christ and
united with the Indian Creek Baptist
Church, February IL, 1877, and in lSiS,
was elected as one Of the Trustees of the
church, which position he held during
his life and in the year 1869 he was cleo
ted or chosen rs Deacon of said church
which office he filled with honor to him
self and with satisfaction TO the church,
and vas a standard bearer of King I'm
manuel in his church for forty years,
one month and twenty one days. He
was an inspiration to his pastor and is
worthy Of emulation by every church
member. While Bro. Beals, only a man,
and had the wiles of the devel to ncoun
ter, yet he always made his Christian
character prominent in making amends
for the wrong done. His daily walks
gave evidence of his conservation to the
cause of the Master he had espoused,
and was always ready to give of his
means to the Masters cause, as the Lord
had prospered him. In the death Of
Bro. Beals the church has lost one Of its
standard bearers. But there is no death,
the Il only goes down to rise upon a
brighter shore; where through all eter-
nifty he will dwell with God forever
more. The refined grain has only been
garnered, and he is today basking in the
sunshine of Gods lovely presence. Then
why mourn because he has shaken off
the shackles OF sin and sorrow and is to-
day enjoying the unspeakable bliss Of
heaven. Respectfully submitted.

miles from Little Rock, on the Little

duced last year 500, 1924 bushels of corn,
1s,141 bales of cotton, $500 bushels of
wheat, and made 399 ,627 pounds of
butter. Land ranges in price from 50
to 50 for woodland, while creek and
river bottom lands sell at from $40 to
$50 per acre, according to improve
ments. The county is we'll provided
with good schools and churches, and

A SUGGESTION TO DEMOCRACY.

The Democratic party is agreed only
upon two things-that the tariff ques.
ton ought to be eliminated from the
national contest and that finance is the
issue of supreme magnitude and i'm.
p%ortance. But beyond this the party is
a house hopelessly divided against it.
self. One wing wants everything SUI
bordinated to the fetch of free silver
and the other to the fetch of goldbug-
gerry. Their views are so widely diver
gent and their aims so irreconciliably
a~ntagonistic that propriety and a de-
cent self respect would suggest that
they separate divide the stolen property
and maintain distinct organizations.
Or better still, as the free silverites con
stitute three fourths of the party, they
should hold the ground, the traditions
and the plumber, and the goldbugs
slough off and resolve themselves into
a n%onentity. This would be a sure and
expeditions way of disposing of Cleve-
land and his Wall Street gang.
