EDITORIAL COMMENTS.

The destruction Of the warship
Maine in Havana harbor last
week, in which 253 people were
killed, is a matter of serious con-
sideration on the part of the
United States at this time. The
cause Of the explosion is shrOuded
in mystery, and many opinions
have been advanced as to the
real cause. Captain Sigsbee, the
commander Of the ship, is of the
opinion thata floating torpedo did
the work, but has advised a sus-
pension of Judgment until the
matter is thoroughly investigated.
If an investigation discIoses
trea3hery on the part Of the Span
ish government in the destruction
of the Maine, war is imincnt. The
Maine was very fine war vessel,
costing the United States $1,000

Dear Editors; Will you please
allow me space in your much APP
appreciated paper to say few
words to my Tennessee friends in
regard to Kansas!
1t is a prairie country. The
people are very sociable, kind and
enterprising. There are good
schools all over the country, and
of course the people are educated.
The farmers are blowing, and it
looks just like spring to gee every
body mt work. Coyotes abound
in this country; they arc as large
as good sized dog. The dogs
here are afraid of them.
We live three miles from the
railroad and eleven miles from the

been from home four months,
and are we'll pleased. We take

come it each week.

WORK ON THE TENNESSEE.
Representative Sims Making a
Vigorous Fight for I'm.
pr0Vements.

Representative Sims is making
a vigorous fight to secure a liberal
appropriation for the improvement
of the Tennessee river from Pa.
ducah to Riverton. This is con.
sidered the most important portion
of the Tennessee river in Tenn
essee, and the appropriation of a
reasonable sum would make it
navigable from Riyerton to its
mouth all the year round. Mr..
Sims has become quite popular
among the members of congress,
republicans as we'll as democrats.
That he is u man of ability is
recognized by all factions. For
this reason he has been able to
make considerable Roadway, and
his efforts to secure an appropri-
alton for the Improvement of the
Tennessee river between the
points mentioned.
Mr.. Sims has pointed out, and
rightfully, too, that this is the
most important portion of the
Tennessee river, by reason of the
fact that below RivertoD the river
IS navigable the year round, but
that above Riverton to Paducah it
is navigable only portion Of the
year, by reason of snags and the
accumulation of gravel and bowl

Potato planting and gardening is
all the go this week. Irish pota-

busy with their chickens now.
The demand is sufficient now to
have buyers out looking for chick
ems. Friars are 25c piece; few
ready for the market. The chick
EN- trade here is II big item. The
leading merchants Of Rutherford,
Yorkville and Dyer exchange
their goods for poultry. Wheat
crops are looking fine now. Some
wheat raisers still have their old
crops. One farmer near by has
1000 bushels yet. lnspite of all
the low prices, most farmers con
tinue TO plant a little cotton.
Health here is reasonably good.

Hon. d. w. Broyles, who is now
before the people as a candidate
for Circuit Judge Of the Ninth
Judicial Circuit of Tennessee, is
well and favorably known to all
our readers.
He is a man of ability, is 43
years OF age, and was born and
reared in Hardin county, Tenn, at
Savannah, the county from which
Judge Patterson was elected.
His constant practice at the bar
of our town for the past ten years
has extended his acquaintance
among all our people and won for
him many warm friends in our
county, who are now his hearty
supporters for an Office which
they consider him eminently quail
fled to fill.
Mr.. Broyles is an able lawyer,
and his services on the bench as
special judge has proven satisfac-
tory, alike to litigants and the
country, and has given him eXper-
fence which fully equips him for
the responsible position. More
over, as special judge, he has
gained for himself a position in
| the front ranks Of Tennessee
judges.
His integrity as a man, and his
high moral character, inspire in
the people that respect universally
accorded an upright citizen and
conscientious lawyer.
Personally he is agreeable and
pleasant, and as a judge he may
be approached by the humblest
citizen, with the assurance OF

JUDGE ID. w. BROYLES.
Candidate for Circuit Judge of
tho Ninth Judicial Circuit.


the Ninth Judicial Circuit.
1t will be seen that Hon d. w.
Broyles has announced, through
the present issue of the Citizen,
that he is candidate for Circuit
Judge of this, the Ninth Judicial
Circuit, to fill out the unexpired
term made vacant by the resigna.
ton Of Judge Il. ID. Patterson.
Judge Patterson would have held
four years from September |, 1898,
had he filled ont the term to which
he had been elected but, owing to
his failing health, he thought it
best TO resign and vacate the high
Office to which he had been elect.
ed. No Judge of this circuit has
ever been held in higher esteem
by the people than Judge Patter-
son, and it was a source of general
regret for him to have to resign
his Office at the time he did, when
he had not served out half of his
term, Judge Broyles is from
Hardin county, the same county
that Judge Patterson was from,
and it might be truthfully said
that Hardin county is entitled to
claim the preference of furnishing
the successor of Judge Patterson
to fill out the unexpired term,
which it had until Judge Patter-
sons resignation last fall.
Judge Broyles held several
terms of the circuit court here by
special appointment by the gov
ernor, and many of our people had
an opportunity to know him then.
His rulings then were able and
impartial, and the officers and
people attending his court were
treated with kindness, and the
claims Of litigants were given the
fullest consideration. j IL d & c
Broyles was born and reared in
Hardin county, Tenn. and is now
43 years of age and in the prime
of the most vigorous manhood.
He was admitted to the bar as a
lawyer in 1876, and has been en-
gagged actively in the practice OF
his profession ever since that
date, his,home and law Office being
in Savannah, and he has the rep
utation in his country of being one
of the ablest lawyers in that part
of the state. lie is energetic and
Il hard worker, and was highly
complimented by the bar at this
place by resolutions entered on
the minutes of the court the first
term he held here, for the dispatch
of business, and for his Judicial
bearing, fairness and impartiality
in holding the court.
Everything considered, Judge
Broyle5' candidacy is entitled tC
favorable consideration by the
people.-Pulasli Citizen.
