HAYwooo's CANDIDATE.

Brownsville Trbunel
Our readers will gladly learn that a
worthy son Of Haywood County win
make the race Tor encouragement Of
this, the thirteenth judicial district, com
testing for the seat Of Hon. w. w. Wade
Hon. A. M. (Mad) Mari, whose formal
announcement will be found elsewhere,
was born in Haywood County. Among
us he grew to promising manhood, win
ming his way by the noblest and most
onerous efforts. His splendid education
was earned by the honest sweat of his
face. Reared on the farm, schooled TO
hard work, he dug from Harwood's soil
the earnings that gave opportunity TO his
ambition and enabled him to finish the
trainings which has gained him such
splendid place as an advocate at the bar.
Everyone knows Mad Mari to be a clean
man, a polished, courteous gentleman.
His associates were always the very best
and he grew to vigorous manhood here
among the best influences of Brownsville,
popular with everyone and admired for
his fine character, splendid mind, III
domitable grit and sterling worth. He
commenced the study Of law in the office
Of Judge B. J. Lea, an eminent jurist.
He entered Lebanon Law School in
1889 and graduated therefrom in 1890
with high honors. Returning home he
Immediately commenced the practice of
his profession. He continued his prac-
tice here until 1895.
Mr., Mari removed to Paris, associating
himself with Hon. A. B. Lamb, under
the firm name Of Lamb & Mari, and ex-
tending his practice to all the courts in
| " est Tennessee.
The prominence which his ability and
tireless energy have won for him has in
no way elevated him above his old
friends, To us he is plain MAD" Mari,
ever genial, clever and with warm hand
clasp for plowboy and judge alike. While
he has never before been a candidate for
Office he has taken active part in politics
for the greater part ofhis life. He is and
has always been an earnest, hard work
ing Democrat, quick to answer every cal
for his services, ardent and answering
in the discharge of every party duty
His native home, near Tibbs, was, in
that trying period of negro domination, &
Republican stronghold, and few men per
formed such courageous, effective and
victorious service in wrestling this coun
, try from Republication as he.
Mr.. Mari will be supported almos
unanimously by the Brownsville bar
Haywood County Democrats will endorse
his candidacy. His adopted home coun
ty, Henry, is solid for him, and we havt
every assurance that he will easily carry
this county. Mr.. Mari also has the cal
in Benton County, and his following
throughout the district is very strong.
We join his many old chums and legiol
, of friends throughout Haywood County il
, commencing him to the people of tn
thirteenth judicial district as man emf

WHEN MARRIAGE
PROPOSALS SURPRISE

Many man when he comes to pro-
pose is taken aback on finding out
that the girl has had no idea till that
moment of what he has supposed he
had made quite evident to her for
months. 1t seems SO extraordinary to
him that She has not fathomed his
meaning When he himself knew it SO
Wen.
But if a man is wise he will prepare
the way before he comes to the actual
proposal with various declarations of
his intentions, which will serve two
purposes.
How can he make his meaning plain?
BY showing by his manner and conduct
that all his interest and his liking cen
ter round the one particular girl he
has selected, and to do this he must let
her see that her society is delightful to
him, that her opinion is valuable that
he wants to win her liking.
If he begins to visit her house con-
stantly and shows that his visits are
meant for her, if ne tries to meet her in
society and devotes himself to her
there. she should gather his meaning
in some measure from these signs.
He may offer her little attentions of
a marked nature-give her flowers and
books and such small gifts as are al
lowable-and he may also say things
now and then which cannot fail to
make her understand that she is dear
to him.
If she seems dispieased or Indifferent,
he can drop his attentions. but if she
shows him that they please her he viii.

not the landlady In an i'll starred
hour, in order to be quite up to date,

that fan so its cool waves would
strike her instead of Jorgens- AS reg
ularly as she did so, even thus regu-
larly Mrs. PinSins sent the waiter to
circulate the breeze back upon Jor-

The fan war ebbed and surged- It

the attitude Of the young lady board
