The North did not like him because he favored slavery, the South reyiled him for his defense of the National government. As his enemies increased the thunder of his editorial eloquence increased in volume. When from every other house in Knoxville the Union flag had disappeared 1t still tloated over his. Finally his paper was suppressed, he was driven from his home, cap tured and imprisoned, but in the whales belly of a Confederate prison he proved as uncomfortable an occu- pant as Jonah, and was spewed forth and set within the Union lines. Com ing North, he addressed large audi ences and awakened great enthusiasm in favor of the enlistment of troops. His family was expelled from Knox vile, and together they travelled through the northern part of the coun- NueTt ut spUht III all cities Many people of the North who had previously been unfriendly now realized that they had been mistaken in their estimate of the mans charac- ter. A similar state of mind possessed the Tennessee folk, for when peace had been declared and reconstruction had followed the turbulence of the war, Brownlow was twice elected Governor of the State. In his first message he advocated the removal of the negro population to a separate territory and declared it bad policy to give them the ballot In 1867 his combativeness found play in a conflict with the mayor of Nashville over the manner in which judges of election should be appointed, and the United States troops were or dered to Nashville to sustain the Gov ernor. In 1869 he was elected to the United States Senate and served six years, at the end of which period he was succeeded by ex-President Andrew Johnson. After the close of his term he returned to Knoxville and until his death continued the publication of the 'Whig

A neglected cold is frequently the cause of death.
 It is more often, however, the cause of some chronic disease. There is not an organ in the body but what is liable to become seriously deranged by a neglected cold. Diseas- es of the kidneys, bladder and digestive organs are all frequently the result Of a neglected cold.
 Hundreds of dollars are spent on doctors and medicines trying to cure these diseases, but until the true cause of them is discovered there will be no use in using medicine.
 Dyspepsia medicine, diarrhoea medl- cine and constipation medicine is ot no good whatever when catarrh is the cause. The catarrh must be treated. The cause being removed, the derange- ments will disappear.
 Peruna cures catarrh of the digestive organs, the urinary organs or any of the internal organs.
 II you do not derive prompt and sat isfactory results from the use of Peruna write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case, and he will be pleased to send you his valuable ad- vice gratis.

1uence in shaping the trend of public affairs, who dared combat popular opinion and whose principles and theo ries ultimately triumphed. They were not seekers after the bauble of popu- larity. To enthrone right and justice was their aim. Of such as these was William Gannaway Brownlow, one of the most fearless men who ever spoke from a pulpit or turned the stream of press. A plant sprung up on Virginia soil, he was transplanted to the Cum berland Mountains, where he f1ourished and blossomed and decayed. Through out the land he was known as "the fighting parson," yet more peaceable man never lived. Eventually the peO- pie of his State came to respect his sin cerity. the nobility of his character and the power of his intellect and manifest ed their esteem by electing him to high office.
 Brownlow was born in Wythe Coun- ty, Virginia. in August, 1895, and was left an orphan at II. He became car penter, and besides earning a living earned enough to obtain for himself a fair English education. At the age of 21 he entered the Methodist ministry, and for ten years labored as an itin- erant preacher in the Southern noun talns. He was preaching in John c. Calhoun's district. in South Carolina in the campaign of 1928, and achieved great notoriety for his opposition to Calhoun. He opposed nullitication, and this made him unpopular-somethin most young men of 23 do not care to be. His efforts In behalf of Method ism continued until 1888, when he be- came the editor of the Knoxville Whig His trenchant editorials, his hot de- bates and his absolute fearlessness won for him a national reputation. It was not long before he was known as the '+fghting parson," an appellation whose propriety he denied
 In 1S43 he opposed Andrew Johnson for Congress, but failed of election. He was a staunch advocate of slavery, and his denunciations of the abolition fists smacked of the style which Henry Watterson now employs when writing of his political foes. But his loyalty to the Union was unbounded, and he had no sympathy for those who urged the separation of the States. As the war approached, his editorials became

SEEN IN A GREAT CITY.
Pathetic Incident of the Cold Streets
 Deadly Struggle.

A Deadly Struggle.
 Through the bleak street the cold wind whistled. In front of the bril- liantly lighted shop one slender figure stood motionless with outstretched arm. Inside was hustle, confusion and warmth, but the rays from the electric lights, which shone through the win dows only accentuated the piercing cold without.
 Hours passed the frosty air became more biting and crowds of gay shop pers passed without glance at the ap- pealing hand stretched out to them.
 It was growing late. the streets were deserted, when, suddenly. without warning, a man rushed. bareheaded, from the shop. look of grim deter imitation upon his face. Without an in- stant's hesitation he grasped the figure, still standing there, in firm embrace, and silently. unseen in the streets of the big city, began a struggle which could have but one ending.
 Back and forth the two rocked In each others arms, back and forth, without a word, but step by step, the outsider. stiff and cold, was being drawn toward the open door. A moment more and the two were within, and the conqueror, loosing his hold, stepped back. left the slender figure swaying from side to side and drew long, fierce breath.
 "Darn them Indian figures" said the cigar-shop man. according to the New York Times. they might be made of lead from the heft of 'em."
