The Hon. Christopher Columbus Col
Inns, the crimson crested cuckoo from
the colluctant county of Carter, illumi-
mated the center of the universe with
his presence for the period of half
dozen imbibitions during one OF the
recent days. Christopher was at one
time a member of the legislature, and
on still day the echoes of his stento-
rian voice, as he lifted it on high in be-
half of the common people, can yet be
heard in the hall of the house. He is
now reaping the reward, eight pesos
per diem, Of his efforts as campaign
orator in the still-house section Of East
Tennessee in 1896. 1t was in that cam
paign that he declared for o dollar that
could "stand fat-footed anywhere on
earth and say, 81 know that my redeem
or liveth." He raised the enthusiasm
Of his republican audience to the high
est pitch by declaring that the triumph
of the republican ticket meant more
money and more liquor-a grocery on
every hill and a still-house in every
hollow. 1t is not generally known, but
Collins is a Malungeon. His name in
dicates this fact. There never was O
Malungeon who WAS not named Collins,
or Mullins, or Rollins. Collins is o
Malnngeon with a small strain of pan
