INDIAN LIFE DISCUSSED.
Condition Of the Navajo Tribe in
Arizona and New Mexico.

An address on some Of the conditions OF
the Navajo Indians of New Mexico and
Arizona was made by Mr.. w. r. Johnston.
a missionary to that tribe, in the chapel Of
the Church Of the Covenant yesterday af-
ternoon. The occasion was the regular
meeting Of the Senior Christian Endeavor
Society Of the church, and Mr.. Johnston's
account Of the life and surroundings Of
these Indians was listened to with much
interest. He was accompanied to the
meeting by two members Of the tribe, one
of whom spoke a few words in the Navajo
language.
While the reservation in the two terri
tories mentioned was large enough, ex-
planned Mr.. Johnston, yet owing to its
baroness and the drought which had pre-
portion of the Indians were obliged to live
on the public lands adjoining their reser-
walton. It was impossible for these to sub
sist by agriculture, owing to the lack OF
water, and their main means of livelihood
is sheep raising. They are, however, miser-
ably poor and their misfortunes are in
creased by the impositions Of the white
men, who drive them from their localities
where they find food for their sheep. The
traders also sell them bad food for high
prices, he said, and in other ways they
suffer because Of their ignorance.
Schools are run by the government, Mr..
Johnston said. but the accommodations
are not In proportion to the number OF
school age. However, he said, the Indian
office Is doing the best 1t can for these
people. He also spoke Of the work which
is being done by the various missionary
agencies.

Stricken Blind.

A sad occurrence took place in our
county one night last week, near Lime
stone, when Oscar M. Brabson was
suddenly stricken with blindness. He
went to bed blessed with normal sight,
and awoke in the morning to darkness.
For a time he thought that the night
had not passed, but finally recognized
the fact that the night was the night of
his own vision, instead of the absence
of the light of the sun from the earth.
We have not been able to ascertain the
cause of Mr.. Brabson's sudden blind
ness, but learn that he has been in
wretched health for some time, Mr..
Brabson is brother of the Hon. John
Nj. Brabson, of Greeneville, and is one
of our most prominent citizens and
successful farmers. Some years ago
he represented Washington county in
the legislature. He is q good man of
good heart and large sympathies and
has host of friends, facts which will
enable him to bear his affection with
the greater fortitude and equanimity.
The COMET extends to him its most
earnest wishest wishes for his speedy
recovery.

one of the most complete inventions
we have ever seen, and is sure to have
a large sale, Mr.. Swisher, the inventor,
is here for the purpose of disposing of
state or part'state rights, and says he
can prove conelusiyely that some shrewd
man can make "a barrel of money" in
this state. Mr.. Swisher can be found

Death of Major Dickinson

AT midnight of Wednesday, 10Th in
slant, Major A. r. Dickinson died in
Atlanta, Ga, aged 81 years. Deceased
was the father of Capt. W. A. Dickin-
son and Mrs. M. L. Martin of this city,
and Mrs. L. A. Russell, of Atlanta, at
whose home he died. He was a native
of Lee county, Va, but had resided for
years in Morristown, where in years
past he was prominent in business cir
cles and where he held various posi-
tions of trust and honor. In his
younger days he was schoolmate OF
Mrs. W. G. Brownlow of Knoxville.
| The remains were taken to Morristown
Friday afternoon and were tenderly
consigned to the tongueless silence Of
the dreamless earth beside the grave Of
his wife, who had preceded him severa
years to the mysterious realm Of the
great beyond. The funeral services
were conducted at the grave by Rev. W
II. Smith, lifelong friend of the fam
lily. Major Dickinson was man o
purest character and undoubted worth
and through all the changing years o.
his life he possessed the confidence anC
esteem of every one who knew him.

on last Tuesday morning, in the woods
