OF Interest TO Church PeopIe.

Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly is running
a series of very interestingly well as ~instruc-
tive articles just now entitled Religious De-
nominations Of America" written by some
prominent member Of each denomination.
In the December number there was an arti-
Gle on the Baptists by Gen. Morgan, which
was very readable and instructive, especially
to the Baptists. In the January number is a
write up Of the Prcsbyterians by Rev. D. j..
Mcmillan, D. D. DR.. Mcmillan, it will be re-
membered was here last October, during the
meeting of Synod, and made an address on
Missions one evening. The good Doctor is
a relative Of Hon, Benton McMillin, but says
Benton has departed from the old Scotch way
of spelling Mcmillan and spells it McMillin.
The Doctors article on the Prcsbyterians
is one Of great historic interest to all Pres
byterians and one that members of that par
ticular church will enjoy reading.

WORK OF OFFICER RADFORD.
Arrests Samuel Strickland, Charged
with Forgery.


For the past few months several old PEN
sioners of this county have been very great
~ annoyed by having their names signed to
orders on various merchants by unknown
parties. A clue as to the guilty ones was
placed in the hands of Deputy Sheriff Tom.
Radford, who, after working on the case sew
eral days, arrested Samuel Strickland, of the
Fourth District. Strickland was scouting at
the time, and a great deal of caution and
nerve was required to take him, as he was
armed with a rifle, and besides is known as a
fearless fellow. However, Tom caught him
of his guard, and before he knew what was
up, had him in the bag. Strickland agreed to
come to town with the officer, and they both
mounted the same horse, Strickland riding
before. When about four miles from town he
seemed to nave changed his notion about
coming, and with a sudden lunge he threw
both himself and Radford from the horse and
under his feet; and then a tussle for mastery
took place. Both being powerful men, they
rolled and tumbled, but finally Radford got
his pistol out of his pocket and dealt the
prisoner a stunning blow over the left eye
which completely laid him out for the time.
Taking advantage Of this short recess, he
bound him hand and foot, and thus succeed
ed in bringing him in.
William Lowrence, also of the Fourth Dis
trict, was so much interested in the welfare
Of the prisoner that he followed him and the
officer to town, and into Dossers' store,
where Strickland had been taken for the pur-
pose of identification. Strickland was at
once identified as the man who had passed
two separate orders on the store, with the
nam Of John Murray signed thereto, both of
which turned out to be forged. Lowrence
turned to go out but was Immediately recog-
nized by Abe Byrd as an accomplish Of Strick-
land, having on the same day that the order
was presented at Dossers' store, cashed a
balance order for him by selling him a knife.
He too was arrested. At trial on Tuesday
before Sam. S. Kirkpatrick, J. p, both priso-
ners waived preliminary hearing, and were
bound to court under 81 900 bond.
M. Jackson, of Johnson City, was present
at the trial and recognized Strickland as the
party who had, a few days before passed an
order on him with the name Of Joseph Laws
signed thereto. This also was a forgery.
They waived examination on this charge also,
and on both charges were committed to Jail.
Various articles were found on the persons
OF the prisoners that will establish their guilt
beyond a doubt.
Mr.. Radford. who worked up the case and
succeeded in bagging the men, is a deputy Of
Sheriff Pritchett, and it can be truthfully said
OF him that there is no better officer in the
county. He deserves muc credit for this
piece Of work.

Farmers for Postal Banks.

Much has been heard about the demand Of
organized labor for the establishment Of a
postal savings bank system. Organized farm
ers are no less emphatic in asking the gov
eminent to provide safe repositories for per-
sons of small means. Farmers are not so
well organized as the workingmen Of the
cities and do not come together in conven-
lions and associations so frequently, but
when they do postal savings banks is gen.
orally n Of the subjects discussed.
AT the meeting of the Michigan State Asso-
citation of Farmers Clubs at Lansing recently
a strong demand was made for the establish
ment Of the postal savings bank system, to
which all the delegates present gave their ap-
proval. On the day previous the state grange
had taken similar action.
A demand in which the ~workingmen and
farmers unite in making is one to which Con-
gress should give heed.-Chicaso Record.

JOCKEY.

Though we the residents of 1.-THE Hub" Of
East Tennessee arc not in Washington
County, yet we are SO near the border line
that your loyal paper is most favorably
known among our people, and failing to
recognize among your interesting cores
pondents any from this lively little village,
around which the entire country seems to
swing, we, a charming lass of sixteen sweet
summer and a bachelor whose pate reflects
in the light, have sharpened our faber to-
gether with our wits to give a few happen
ings hereabouts.
The breeze from the west seems fragrant
with the odor of orange blossoms, which
f~oretells that one Of Greeneville's gallant
knights will, before the bells peal forth the
dawn of a merry Christmas, lead one of
Jockeys most charming young ladies to
Hyman's altar where two happy hearts will
be made as one. An undercurrent breeze
from the east comes frequently perfumed
with orange blossoms and everything bids
fair that one of Millbrook's most estimable
young ladies will soon launch her baruue
upon the sea of matrimony and sail for a
western port. John Ruston of the commu-
nifty concluded to take time by the forelock
and on last Sunday took unto himself "a
better half" to share his life. G.. W. Phillips,
Esq, who captivated one of Cooke County's
most popular schoolmarms, is expected
home with his bride this week. Miss Mary
Justice, who has been sojourning for som
time on Camp Greek, was married recently
to Mr.. Hampton. This happy couple will be
rendered a reception on Christmas day at
the home Of her parents. 1t is gently whis-
pered that a professional, whose shingle
used to swing in the breeze waited across the
county line of Greene and Washington, who
has overreached his allotted time of "three
score and ten" has a matrimonial bee buzz
zing in his hat, and at present, is en- route
from a southern town, to press his claim
for the heart and hand Of one of our most nc
complished lady friends. We noticed a few
days ago our young friend who "wields the
birch over the young idea' in one Of our
rural districts, whose mind has been alb
sorbed in mystery over the perplexing sub
ject Of matrimony, hunting along the creek
for the keys, hoping to solve the mystery.
Miss Harrington. of Greeneville, is in the

How to Prevent Pneumonia.

At this time of the year a cold is very
easily contracted, and If left to run its
course without the aid of some reliable
cough medicine is liable to result in
that dread disease, pneumonia. We

cough or cold than Chamberlain g
Cough Remedy. We have used it quite
extensively and it has always given
entire satisfaction. -Olagah, Ind. Ter.

have used it for colds and the grip,
we have never yet learned of a single

reason to fear an attack of pneumonia,
