Our Bob, ex-Gov. Taylor is affection
ately called, continues attracting a
good deal of attention, and people prick
up their ears when they hear of what
he is going to do, and they wonder and
wonder and wonder when they wonder
what he is going to do.
The dust Of Knoxville he has shaken
from his feet, and no sooner was the
announcement of his departure made
than the bottom fell out OF the city and
the streets began caving in. Sunny
hearted Gov. Bob says he met his only
and first trouble in Knoxville. He en-
ioyed immunity from trouble, hereto
fore, because his genial nature never
troubles trouble until trouble troubles
him. He is going to marry beautiful
Virginia lady and has compromised the
geographical question by moving to the
line al Bristol, where Mrs. Taylor's end

Dominion while Gov. Bobs citizenship
remains in his native State, ready tC

bosom emits a roar.
Matrimony is not the only form o.
dissipation in which Gov. Bob is going
to indulge. He is going to make dem
ocratic speeches, mix" in politics, edi
a southern magazine and daily news
paper. Tho dailynewspaper he will sool
find irksome. Pegasus or Dan Patel

cries of daily journalism, the sense o
being tethered, the procrustean exacti

sibility of soaring and seeking tn
empyrean, the diurnal man-with-the
hoeishness of it all, will soon pail OF
this child of freedom, whose prou,
soul is intolerant OF restraint.
The politicians will watch Gov. Bol
closely. He is an object of interest t
all of them and an object of fear t
many of them. Commercial Appeal

Upon the latter measure the governor
is particularly strong. In fact, he
stands Aatfooted upon the state plat
form and pillories his antagonist
for his yacilating course regarding this
wise and beneficial measure.
The governor points out, as The
American did recently, that the people
have nothing to gain by turning the
state over to the republicans. The lat
ter promise nothing that the democrats
have not already done and are doing.
They merely want to get turn at the
pie counter, and their previous record

ernor Robert L. Taylor, of Tennessee.

try mansion, was tastefully decorat ed
for the occasion. The officiating min
ter was the Rev. DIR. David Sullins, of
Cleveland, Tenn, a noted southern ed
ucator and the founder of Sullins Col
lege, this city. Following the ceremony
dinner was served to the guests.
This is the third marriage of the ex-
governor, and gives promise of being
most happy one His bride, who is
distantly related to him, comes of one
of the best families of Southwest Vir-
ginia. Her father is lawyer liability,
and owns a valuable estate in Smyth
county.
At the conclusion of their bridal trip
the couple will reside in Bristol, the
ex- governor having recently sold his
palatial residence in Knoxville in order,
as he expressed it, to get back to the
mountains and the beautiful valley
where he was born.
