TOMORROW is the last day of the
great Centennial. For six months
it has been running with varying
attractions from day to day, and
from not a single one of the two
million visitors has there been
heard anything but praise Of the
Centennial and admiration of the
pluck of the people that could pre-
pare such a show in times like the
present. 1t is an education in it.
self to see the wonderfully varied
exhibits in the many large build
ings and especially an education to
Tennesseans to see the products Of
their own State so grouped and ar
ranged that a child can understand
their wonderful variety and rich
ness. The many thousands of peo-
pie who have been putting off until
the last and then fail to visit the
great Centennial will feel regret
for the rest of their life. 1t is an
opportunity Of a lifetime for all
who have not been.

The following endorsement of a
former citizen of our town and one
whom our people were delighted to
honor in the past as they will be in
thefuture, is clipped from the Mar
tin Mail: "West Tennesseans in
order that they might present an
unbroken front in the Democratic
State convention next year should
decide upon some good West Ten
nessean and stick to him until the
last. West Tennessee has a num-
ber of good and true men that could
fill the gubernatorial chair with
credit to themselves and honor to
the State. Weakly County can
present the name of one who stands
high in his party as a man and as
a Democrat, and whose administra-
tion would be pure and above re-
proach Old Weakley has several
such men, but we have in mind the
Hon. Joseph E. Jones, of Dresden.
He is a born orator, a good man,
and would make a splendid gov
ernor Governor Jones would
sound well. We have had a gov
ernor in days gone by the name OF
Jones Lean Jimmie and we dare
say his namesake will do even bet
ter than he. West Tennesseans we
present to you Mr.. Jones. What
think ye OF him?"

SOMETIMES people pray for that
which may not be best for them.
For instance, just after the great
overflow last spring, everybody in
the lower Mississippi Valley were
praying for a late fan, mild wealth
er, and absence of frost, in order
thatcrops could fullymature. Now
the people in that fever-stricken
country are praying that their for
mer prayers will not be granted,
and that severe cold weather and
frosts that will kill all vegetation
will come early and often.

PoLITICAL morality has been un-
dermined by a policy Of legislation
for one class at the expense of an
other, by granting favors to some
at the expense Of others. The en-
tire course of legislation has been
for the exaltation of the boss, the
combines and monopoly. Is itnot
time that the people of this country
had some attention? Is it not time
that legislation should proceed on
principle and not on expediency?
Bear this in mind, the burdened
classes are no longer submissive.

When Money Was Plentiful.

The conductor was in reminiscent
mood. Speaking of hard times, " he said,
"the present financial stringency contrasts
strongly with the great abundance of
money circulated in this city during the
Centennial year. At that time was on
the Girard Avenue line and 1 never saw
money so plentiful. Why, people would
get on my car, hand me scrip note,
which were then in use, and walk up front
without ever asking for their change.
They didn't want any. 1t was o common
thing for us conductors to be handed a
dollar note and told to keep tho change ]
know two conductors on this line who
bought houses with the money saved that
year.
"But let me tell you of q strange
thing that happened on one of my trips.
An old gentleman, escorting several Ia
| dies, boarded my car and got seats uE
front. A few minutes later the car was
| iammed so that couldn't move and had
to collect fares as the people came out.
"Well, when we arrived at tho bridge
the old gentleman and his party got out

American Tires in England.

American single-tube tires are do
ing no better In Europe in 1897 than
European single-tubers have done in
previous years. In England, the rid
ers will more than ever insist upon
double-tube tire 8, judging by the fol.
lowing from The Cyclist, the great
English cycling authority:
1.-The single-tube tires fitted to
American machines imported this
season are now beginning to fail; in
deed. lot of them have already done
so. Novices should take the utmost
care in buying any of the second hand
American machines at present so ex-
tensively advertised for sale, to OBJ
serve that the tires, if of the single
tube description, are in thoroughly
good order. The importance of this
was brought home to us by hearing
of friend who had been victimized
by what he considered was bargain
in second hand Yankee mount. The
tires were absolutely porous and
done for, failing to hold air for more
than a few hours when ridden. Even
if as good as new when bought, twill
| not be long before the single-tu bers
go hopelessly wrong, at least such is
our experience"
In line with the above statements,
a dealer in Ell Paso, Texas, gives his
method of handling single-tube tires
after eight years experience in
seven different states, find he only
sure way to repair leaky single-tube
tires is to cut them open, punch lace
holes, put inside plenty of soapstone
shake it out then draw In u Morgan
& Wright inner tube, lace up, cement
to rim and pump up" Practically
making them into double-tube tires

How to Start q Bank.

To begin alb ovo. A bank generally
comes into existence from the special neeGs
of some community OF coterle of business
men. Any one may be banker. There
are no restrictions except in the eamount of
capital required for national bank This
must be 5000 at least and in larger
cities 5000, 900. Suppose that five gentle
men have subscribed $780, 900 to the capital
stock of new bank, the necessary pay
ments have been made, and promising
site has been selected with reference to the
convenience Of the particular trade which
in the promoters opinion will desire to
use the new institution. The prosperous
business concerns in this community are
receiving day money and checks and per-
haps notes for the goods they have sold.
If they believe in the good Judgment and
honesty of the men at the head of the new
bank, they may be persuaded to deposit
each day in it such funds as they receive,
or part of them, for safe and convenient
keeping, to be drawn out by checks as they
may need Thus the first function of bank
ing has begun.-C. d. Lanier in Scrib-
ner's,

Fallaeies Concerning Prayer.

The question which some still think 1t
worth while TO ask, "Why does a loving
God, who knows our needs, require us II
PETITION for their supply" both reveals
the fundamental misconception and brings
into contrast the fundamental truth in re-
gard to the whole subject. DR.. Edward
Caird has noted, as strange survival of
the pagan mode of thought among Chris
tians, that some of them still conceive OF
prayer as an attempt TO get God to do
mans will rather than as an aspiration ia
get Gods will done by man. Jesus has
expressly cautioned us not to think that
either he prays or we pray for the purpose
of informing God about our needs or in
ducing him to supply them. What end,
then, is served by petitionary prayer fol
the things God knows we need and that he
wills to bestow? Surely no thinker is un
aware that verbal expression has much tt
do with both clearness of thought and tn,
concentration of attention and will. 1t /,
reason enough for engaging in pctitionary
prayer that the confession in words of oul
wants to God enables and pledges US in 1
clearer consciousness TO work out NOR,
reverently and patiently the divine condi
tions of their supply.
Thus it is that through prayer the in
dividual will strives toward unity will
the universal will. To impute to the lead
ers of religious thought today the crude
primitive fancy of bending the divine will
into line with the human is unworthy @
any who process to keep abreast of tn
worlds advancing intelligence. The tru
function of prayer is to lift the will {
man into line with the will Of God. Thi
it does by its effect in clarifying mora
insight, deepening reyerent convictions c
responsibility and dedicating self nor
thoroughly to divine ends, which can b
accomplished in the world no sooner c
more fully than Inen devote themselves
their fulfllment. Rev. james NJ. Whito
