my letter will be short. News is not
much in this part of the vineyard. l
believe that winter has come at last
and found us union people with plenty
of fuel to make fires and plenty to
eat, and we don't have to do anything
but make fires and cook and eat and
have good time and that is hard to
beat, dom you think so2 We have
plenty to eat and don't have to work
only our jaws and we have plenty to
work them on, don't you forget
Mr.. Harris has moved union store
and | don't think they will have room
for their goods there. They must have
a full stock as they have got the Walk
er store house full and are not through
moving yet, and it don t look like the
union is dead to me the way that store
is building up. Let me tell you one
thing, the union is not dead and | dc

There are good many of the Whit
we'll boys at Altoona enjoying some Of
that good union work and getting pay
every two weeks, and that is some
thing that the non-union men are no
getting here. All the non-union mel
get here is hole Of water or a mud
hole to work in. They don't know
what a good thing the union is unless
they would come to it and stay will
it while. The union means less worl
and more pay and that is something
all men should work for, and it mean
better times for the coming genera
tion. / believe in my children havin.

haven't got much sense myself but
think l have more than some of thos
men at Whitwell or they would shu
those mines down and let the 7. G. l

are ruined anyway with the men VIII
are working here.

False Charge.
Whifwell Tenn Dee

Whitwell, Tenn, Dec 2, 1905.
Whereas there have been many Ii
belous and slanderous reports gone out
from our town through the press and
otherwise; and, whereas one lobe Cox,
a member of Local Union No. 2S7, has
been charged through the press with
having offered a motion, "That every
union man xii 'scab'", and whereas
it is charged so per cent. of our mem
bers voted for same motion. Be it re-
solved that we deem it necessary that
we go to press with our grievance, and
denounce as malicious and false these
hbelous and slanderous reports that
evidently are originated by designing
and Inscriptions parties or men.
Be it resolved that we publish to the
world our denial of Mr. Cox having
put any such motion for passage, or
any of our members entertaining such
formulative action in our body.
Be it further resolved that Local I'm
ion No. 2S7 has never entertained any
other purpose or sentiment than a
strict, moral and lawful parliamentary
procedure.
Be it resolved that our meetings are
held open to the public and every body
is invited to attend, and our meetings
are largely attended by those who are
not members
Our proceedings are an open book to
the public and we court and demand q
strict observance by all to our honora-
BILE course.
Be it resolved by this organization
that it is self-evident to any fairmind-
ed men that the purpose Of these sland-
erous reports were originated and are
being continually spread abroad over
our country for no other purpose than
to poison the minds of our fellow citi-
zens against the u. NJ. w. of A. to the
end that the principles of the cause of
the workingman may become extinct,
and that sordid wrath and ill-gotten
capital may become absolute.
Be it further resolved that the true
principles of our organization and craft
is a strict maintenance of law and or
der, that the peace and dignity of the
state may be conserved.
Be it further resolved that our past
conduct and records stand subject tC
examination and we would extend tC
all who love the cause of justice and
humanity a hearty cooperation in oul
struggle for the upbuilding of the
cause of labor in this, our glorious
Southland.

noble paper | am a union man, was
converted in '99 and joined the II. M.
W. of A., and | can say that the boys
are as solid as they ever were looking
to fly home any time with angels
wings, waiting for an honest settle
ment. Come on, union woman, we
love to read your pieces. We have lots
of good union women at Tracy. The
scabs here are going just like the fell
low IS mules did Once there was
man shipping a car load of mules and
he had tags on the mules, stating
where they were to go to and he had
non-union man in the car with the
mules, and when the train checked at
a station the mules had eaten the tags
up, and he hollered out, Captain
what are we going to do? These mules
have eaten up where they are going
to. +" That is the way the fscabs are
here. Ask Frank Lockhart how he
likes Altamont. Dykes Hollow has

Some one made raid on Mark Dykes

one of his fine chickens and when Mark
saw the foot prints he said it had been
the largest foot in the world. Nick.

nothing had happened like what would
happen as soon as the soldiers left.
Now they are gone and nothing has
happened yet. The union people throw
off ON us people who are at work, but
if we say anything about them they
get mad. In your paper of Nov. 23rd
White Sheep said she wouldn't be in
our shoes for our socks. Now that is
one threat against us at work, and
again she said the I. c. l. & Co.

Mr.. Editor: AS there are several
writing from this lively little town, L
feel like it is intruding on your space
for me to expect room in your valua-
BILE columns, but when fellow gets in
the habit of writing, like other habits,
it is not easily given up. News in this
neck of the woods is rather scarce.
Thanksgiving day was observed here
All business was suspended and APP
propriate sertices were held in the diff
ferent churches. Services here held in
the First Baptist Church at night.
While some observed the day as should
be others celebrated by the use of too
much tanglefoot and patent medicine
but the time has never been when all
the people were all thankful for all the
blessings bestowed upon them by Di-
vine Providence. j. H. Mosgrove,
formerly of Whitwell, but now of Pc
tros was painfully, but not dangerous
ly, hurt by falling slate on the 9th
inst. He is doing well and will be out
in short time. He is being treated
by DR.. J. r. Colt. Dock is hustler
when it comes to waiting on the sick.
The genial and accommodating time
keeper for the Big Brushy Coal Com
pany, w. H. Gibson, has been very
much worried about his beard turn
ing gray of late, but DR.. Colt assures
him that his beard will now resume
its normal color because q new time
keeper has arrived at his house. Sue

The Ladies' Aid Society of
the Baptist Church, gave a pie
and cake festival at the Y. M. G. A..
Hall on last Monday night, which was
well attended, and was thoroughly en-
ioyed by ALL They realized the neat

y good Good health, good people,
good Christians can't be beat There
are some communities where the spir-
itual condition of the people seems to
be drifting at very low ebb, which
could be wonderfully improved by an
awakening to proper lines of duty.
When / read about so much contention
and shooting at Whitwell do think it
is shame and a scandal to the com
munity. Dear friends, Just stop one
moment and think what you are doing.
Christ says unless you forgive your en-
emies He will not forgive you l have
friends at Whitwell, some are union
and some are non-union and it makes
me feel sad to think of so much dissen-
ton among the people, OF course
dom know who is in the wrong, but |
do think if they would just think a.
bout the shortness of life, they surely
would think about something else be-
sides fussing and quarreling. Let us
all follow peace with God and man.
see our friend, Charlie Quarles,

hope he will be elected. He is an hon

can vouch for his soberness and his
christianity. He is strict in his deal

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it local disease, and prescrib-
ed local remedies, and by constantly
failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease, and therefore requires consti-
tutional treatment. Halls Catarrh

tional cure on the market. 1t is taken
