JUST after the surrender at Apo
mattox the late Senator Harris Of
Tennessee, who then had price set
on his head by his old friend Parson
Brownlow, addressed regiment of
Confederates who were anxious to
"stand by" him. He told them that
he was going to Mexico for reasons
of his own, and that, while he would
be glad to have their company, he
thought they ought to stand by Ten
nessee, as they could do best by 60
ing home and going to work. They
went home, and those of them who
are stillliving are still working. As
result, the state, ruined by the
struggle Of great armies, is again
taking its old place Of leadership in
She Union. No man ever gave dis
banded soldiers better advice, and
only American soldiers could hav
taken it so well.

The Missing Word,

The Weekly Constitution, published at At
lanta, Ca, has announced its fourth missing
word contest.
Ten per cent of the money received from
subscribers who enter the missing word con-
test during the months of June, July and Au-
gust will be paid to the person or persons
naming correctly the missing word in the fol-
lowing sentence:
"WE HAVE NOT' ENOUGH
AND ARE PUT 70 VERY AWKWARD
SHIFTS FOR WANT OF SOME"
There is not much doubt In the mind of
the editor Of this paper as to the word ex-
pressing that Of which he has not been able
to secure enough, and he realizes the very
awkward shifts he is put to for want of the
same, but the point is to find the very word
the author OF the sentence used in writing It.
By special arrangement of the Weekly Con-
sttution, that great paper and ours can be
obtained for one year at almost the price of
one paper. Not only that; but under our ar
rangement with the Weekly Costtution every
person who takes advantage OF this clubbing
proposition, subscribing for both papers,
will be entitled to guess a, tn e missing
word. All clubbing subscriptions should be
seat to this paper with each subscribers
guess at the missing word plainly written.
The guess and the name and address Of each
subscriber will be forwarded by us to The
Constitutions.
The Constitutions first "missing word
contest" closed on the Ist of January and
but one person Mr.. M. L. Britain, a hard
working school teacher, guessed the missing
word, receiving therefore, check for ST. ,o33, 20.
Its second contest closed on the Ist Of March,
its third contest closed on May Ist, and the
Weekly Constitution Of Monday, September
9th will contain the announcement Of the
awards in which the cash is to be distributed
among the successful guessers in this new
contest
The readers Of our paper who subscribe
Jointly to it and to the Weekly Constitution
have free access into the fourth contest Just
opened; and it may be that some Of them will
| get the money to be distributed on the Ist of
September.

"When | first ran for congress
the district covered five times as
much territory as it does now, and
there was pretty rough lot of
voters in the northern part, where
they were inst roapinga a rich har-
vest of pine. My opponent was
sending some mighty fine speakers
through that section of the country,
and among them his son from
college, who was schoIarly-looking
and wore spectacles. l conceived
the idea that some rough-and-tum-
BILE follow who could tell stories,
drink whiskey and affiliate with
The woodsmen might do my cause
lots of good among them.
II found my man in big, noisy
pettifogging lawyer who was glad
to make little money and notori-
ETY. on such an expedition. l heard
from him occasionally as going
about like roaring lion and laud-
ing nay alleged qualities in q way
that would have left me without the
vote of corporal's guard in chris
tianized portions of the district.
Flushed by success and more in
tense exhilarants, my champion de-
cided on a grand climax, a crown
ing triumph to his campaign. He
challenged the college youth to a
joint debate to be had before a
mass meeting of the red-sash bri-
gade. Such a def was net to be ig-
nored and the event came off. My
advocate thundered, abused and
did everything but talk sense. The
boy toak the other tack, treated
the audience as he would a cultured
! lot Of gentlemen and appealed to
an intelligence that was delighted
at the recognition. Ny lawyer was
knocked clear out Of the box and
when he made the mistake Of try
ing to regain the support of the
crowd by whipping the young man,
he was knocked clear off the plat
form by def gymnasium swing.
My defeat that fall was the first l
ever suffered, but | deserved it,"
