To Fred Hayes In pursuance of an
order heretofore made and entered by

ment suit wherein the Norfolk & West

you are hereby notified that upon the
affidavit of Isaac Harr, attorney for the

are a nonresident of the State of Ten
nessee and that you are Justly indebted
to the Norfolk & Western Official
Guide, alias Walter II. Henderson, in
the sum of 1886 90 by open account,
which is justly due and unpaid, writ
of attachment was, on the 3lst day of
March, 1906, issued in this cause against
you by G. 7. Lee, Justice of the peace
OF Washington county, which writ came
to the hands OF J. M. Byrd, deputy
sheriff of said county, aud was by him,

ecuted by garnisheeing the amount of
1886 90 in the hands of the Tennes

The Speakership.
AS triumphant 1 pass on my way.
PARKER JONES.

There are numerous aspirants from
different sections of the state for the
offices of Speaker OF the Senate and
Lower House of the next General As
sembly, and it is suspected respecting
one or more of thess an effort will be
made to select presiding officers not
frindly to the Governor elect or favor
able to the reforms which he advocat-
ed and for which he stands.
Members of both houses should be
slow TO commit themselves to the can
didacy of aspirants. Mr.. Patterson ad
vocated certain muched needed re-
forms in his campaign for the nomina-
ton. These reforms were, in the
main, embodied in the platform Of the
party. In the subsequent campaign
before the people they were discussed
and emphasized by Mr.. Patterson and
other speakers friendly to his cause
They were also freely discussed by the
press of the state, SO there can be nc
doubt as to their approval by the PEG
pie. The election of Mr.. Patterson by
so large majority, Notwithstanding
open opposition on the part of some Of
Mr.. Patterson's enemies in the demo
cratic party and the lukewarm supper
of others, indicated very clearly VIVA
the people want. AS matter of fact
it was Mr.. Patterson's bold and deter
mined campaign in favor of these re
forms within the democratic party tina
caused democrats to rally to his stand
ard and give him the nomination ant
the people to elect him Governor. H
should not, therefore, be hampered il
the endeavor to have these reforms in
augurated. Speakers for both house
should be selected not only becaus
they favor these reforms, but becaus
they are known to be friendly to MI
Patterson and in sympathy with hi
administration. ~
\ We say this without reference to tn
candidacy of any particular person c
persons for the speakership of eithe
house, and only because we feel tbs
Mr.. Patterson is entitled to have me
elected who will heartily co-operat
with him in promoting such legislatio
as his pledges to the people and a sue
cessfnl administration of the state a
fairs under his leadership demand

This secret I've known for years
The body politics an ass
That loves to be led by the ears
I've taught it that black is white,
That three and three make seven,
That the glaringest wrong is right
When weighed in hescales Of heaven !
I've taught it night and morn
Obedience to will and word;
For I'm to the manner born,
A demagogue booted and spurred.
My bodies passport to power,
Whose magic none dare TO oppose;
My fingers I'll snap every hour
In the face of the law and my foes.
when signs perceive of unrest,
And the mob raise a howl and a vail
And the welkin resounds with protest,
A barrel heave to the whale.

And whisper to Uncle Joe,

Soft jobs to the loafers who shout;
A crest" to the ne'er- do.wells,
To sports, fish-pond for trout.
