As failed to show up last week /
will try to give you few dots from
this quiet, peaceable and progressive
town Of Petros although news is scarce.
We have been having real fine fall
weather although today it seems like
the weather clerk was on tear
hope when Sunday passes he VIII
straighten up and give us some more
bright and cheerful days before we
plunge into the storms and SHOWS OF
winter Ii makes the cold chills pos
som trot up and down our spinal col
umn to think of passing though anoth-
er Morgan County winter, for 1t seems
that Morgan never does anything by
halves although the cyclones may come
and the blizzards rage, the lofty peaks
of old Brushy Mountain, with her rock
ribbed sides, protects the town of Pc
tros from their rage.
We are very sorry to learn that the
people of Whitwell are in such de-
plorable condition and hope the pres
ence Of troops among them will have
tendency to restore quiet and good or
der on both sides and that no more such
lawlessness win exist there 1t is clear
that some one has committed great
wrong, a wrong which all law-abiding
citizens condemn and the guilty par
ties should be made to suffer the penal
ty Of the law if appfehended and their
guilt proven, whether they be union or
nonunion. One side is as amenable
to the law as the other and all good
citizens should lend their aid to run
| down all such criminals and let the law
| be INDICATED. | have been a union
man since 1893 and, while am not as
well posted ON the rules and regulations
| governing the organization as some
! others, / know that the great fund.-
mental principles of the order stand
| for the enforcement of law and order
and all true union men stand or should
stand on that principle The people of
| Whitwell have been law-abiding peo-
| pie since the mines have been in opera
| ton there up to short time ago.
They were an upright, honorable peo-
pie and we believe the great majority
of them are today, and we sincerely
hope that when the dark cloud that
now hangs over the little town is past
that the white dove of peace will
dwell there and that law and friend
ship may prevail Having known the
victim Of the terrible tragedy l deeply
sympathise with the bereaved wife and
children in their sad affection and pray
that He who has promised to be {
husband to the widow and father tC
the fatherless, will fold the arms Of
love and protection around them.
The many friends of Mrs. Johr
Carlyon will be glad to learn that hel
health has greatly improved since com
ing here Hope she will continue t.
