The FIRST session OF the Republican

committee, dropped the gavel at 1920,

When your stomach begins to trouble you, it
needs help. The help it needs is to digest
your food, and until it gets it, you won't have
any peace, Stomach trouble is very dis
tressing very obstinate, very dangerous, Many
of the most dangerous diseases begin with
simple indigestion, The reason is that indi-
gestion (not digestion, not nourishment) weak
ems the system and allows disease germs to at
tack it, The antidote is Shaker Digestive
Cordial, strengthening, nourishing, curative.
1t cures indigestion and renews strength and
health. 1t does this by strengthening the
stomach, by helping it to digest your food. 1t
nourishes you Shaker Digestive Cordial is

Court Of Chancery Appeals.

The court OF chancery appeals was
created by act of the legislature OF
1896, to try such chancery cases as
should be assigned to it by the su-
preme court from its docket The OBJ
ject of its creation being to enable the
supreme court to dispose of the busi-
ness rapidly accumulating on its
docket, which it was found that court
was utterly unable to do without assis-
tance, although working harder than
any other supreme court in the United
States.
The findings of this court ON the
facts are final and conclusive, and sp-
peals lie to the supreme court only on
questions of law.
The necessity and advantage of the
court have been demonstrated to the
complete satisfaction of the bar and
the people by tae work of the present
members OF the court, by clearing the
supreme court dockets, and it has be
come an established part OF our judi
cial system.
The court consists Of three men,
bers--one of whom must live in each
grand division of the state, though all
are elected by the entire vote of the
state. The present members of the
court are r M Barton, Jr, for East
Tennessee, S. F. Wilson for Middle
Tennessee, and NJ. M. Neil for West
Tennessee, who were appointed by the
governor on the first of July, 1895,
and are still serving. The work OF
these judges has met with the almost
unanimous approval of the bar with
out regard to politics, they having ac,
complished an immense amount oil
work, and having given general salts
faction. They are candidates for cleo
tion at the hands of the people at th :
general election to be held in August
The tickets should read: "For Judges
of the Court Of ChancerY Appeals

tern Division, M. M. Neil"
These gentlemen are the democrat
ic nominees, and have held the posi-.
tion only one year, and having done
their duty thoroughly they are entitled
to the endorsement which an election
will give them. Remember the elec

MAUD MULLER.

Maud Muller, on a summers day,
Mounted her wheel and rode away.
Beneath her blue cap glowed wealth
OF large red freckles and first-rate health
Singing, she rode and her merry glee
Frightened the sparrow from his tree.
But when she was several miles from town,
Upon the hill-slOpe, coasting down,
The sweet song died, and a vague unrest
And sort of terror filed her breast
A fear that she hardly dared to own,
For what if her heel should strike stone!
The Judge scorched swiftly down the road.
Just then she heard his tire exploded
He carried his wheel into the shade
OF the apple trees, to await the maid,
And asked her II she would kindly loan
Her pump to him, as he d lost his own.
She left her wheel with sprightly Jump,
And in less than jiny produced her pump.
And she blushed as she gave it, looking down
At her feet once hid by a trailing gown.
Then said the Judge as he pumped away,
" 'Tis very fine weather we're having today"
He spoke Of the grass and flowers and trees
OF twenty-mile runs and centuries;
And Maud forgot that no trailing gown
Was over her bloomerS hanging down,
But the tire was fixed, alaek-a-dayl
The Judge remounted and rode away.
Maud Muller looked and sighed, "Ah, me!
That the Judges bride might bel
My father should have a brand new wheel
OF the costliest make and the finest steel
And I'd give one to ma OF the same design
So that she'd cease to borrow mine"
The Judge looked back, as he climbed the hill
And saw Maud Muller standing still.
"a prettler face and form more fair
I've seldom gazed at, declare!
Would she were mine, and today
Could make her put those bloomers away"
But he thought of his sisters, proud and cold,
If he should one of these afternoons
Come home with bride in pantaloonsl
He married q wife of richest dover,
Who had never succumbed to the bloomers
power
Yet oft while watching the smoke wreaths cur
He thought of that freckled bloomer girl;
OF the way she stood there, pgeOn-toed,
While he was pumping beside the road.
She married man who clerked in a store,
And many children played round her door.
And then her boomers brought her joyl
She cut them down for her Oldest boy.
But still of the Judge she often thought
wrought,
Or wondered II wearing them was sin,
And then confessed: 1T might have BEEN"
Alas for the Judgel Alas for the maid!
Dreams we're their only stock in trade.
For all wise words of tongue or pen
The wisest are these: Leave pants for men
All, we'll For us all hope still remains
For the blOomer girl and the man of brains,
And, in the hereafter bloOmers may
