the election of republican governor of
the state of Tennessee. In all things
essential to party pre- eminence he has
seltishly betrayed his trust.
Therefore, be it resolved, by this
convention, That we will no longer lend
our assistance to such man. We de-
mand the election of member of q
congressional committee from each of
the counties which have not yet acted,
and call upon them to name date and
fix place for holding q convention to
nominate candidate for congress. By
reason of his autocratic methods and
unholy coalition with John Isaac Cox,
we consider W. P. Brownlow as no
longer a member of the republican
party, and as such we will no longer
support him.
We endorse in unqualified approval
the candidacy of Hon. II. Clay Evans.
We recognize in him the just and pure
and upright man. We believe him to
be the overwhelming choice of the
whole people and we pledge him our
united support.
Be it resolved by this convention,
That we recognize the fact that intern
perance is one of the greatest evils in
our land, and that we favor the enact.
ment and enforcement of all laws re-
stricting and prohibiting the sale of
Intoxicating liquors in the state of Ten
nessee, and especially are we in favor
of the extension of the provisions of
the law known as the Adams law to
every town and city in the state.

A number of Modern Woodmen and
friends gathered at Odd Fellows Hall
last Friday night and listened to an ad-
dress on woodcraft by State Deputy W.
S. Johnston of Nashville, who was fol-
lowed by Hon. Thos. Fl. Duffy of Du-
buque, Ia, national lecturer for the
Modern Woodmen of America.
State Deputy Johnston referred at
length to the unsurpassed benefits of
the order and the wonderful progress
it is making in Tennessee. While the
order has been doing business in this
state less than six months, camp has
been organized in practically every city
of Importance east of the Tennessee
river, and the membership is growing
with surprising rapidity.
Mr.. Duffy explained and condemned
the insurance contracts of the various
old line companies, aud made PLAIN the
wisdom of fraternal insurance, referring
particularly to the easily acquired ben
efits Of the Modern Woodmen. His
excoriation of the leading old line com
panies for their past Encouragement,
extravaganza aud dishonesty was rev.
citation to many of those present and
heartily enjoyed.
The Modern Woodmen is a purely
fraternal insurance concern, provides
the cheapest protection, it's business is
economically managed. and it's mem
bers flock to the assistance of au un,
fortunate fellow member. From the
insignificant number of twenty-one 6
few years ago, the Modern Woodmer
of America have grown to member
ship of over 1000.
Both gentlemen made good impress
sions and their visit will infuse addi
tional life into the local camp.

NOTES.

Brownlow and his gang have been
fought to stand-still
No tickets were required as an open
sesame to the proceedings in the calf
lot.
Someone made the uncharitable re-
mark that there were more asses than
calves in the Brownlow pasture.
There can be no'doubt in the mind of
an unprejudiced observer as to whom
the republicans want for governor.
There is already some talk of erecting
q monument on the calf lot to comment
crate the proceedings of today's con-
vention GU.
Judging by the request of the Brown
low men that the sheriff appoint list
of special deputies, it would seem that
they we're by no means certain that the
Evans men would quietly submit to q
hold-up.

In New Quarters.

W. P. Crouch, the merchant tailor,
has moved his business from the square
to the newly renovated building on
Main street, formerly occupied by the
City National Bank. His years of ex-
perience qualify him for catering to the
trade, and the advantage of his present
location will enable him to better dis
play his spring line of elegant piece
goods, which all are cordially invited
to call and inspect. Mr.. Crouch has
always held an up-to.d date position in
merchant. tailoring line and as a result
his business has grown from year to
year. He invites yon to call at his new
quarters and see what he has to offer.

Remedies have long been known and
celebrated for the many remarkable
cures they have accomplished in other
sections of the country, and are among
the medicines holding the high.water
mark in point of popularity and sales.
They are being introduced in this Sec
ton, however, for the first time. Their
rheumatism aud catarrh remedy is said
to be the only infallible cure for these
dread diseases, and so confident are the
manufacturers of its efficiency that the
offer is boldly made to refund the price
if after only few doses have been TAX
en- the sufferer does not find some sign
of relief. They have wonderful heal
ing oil, vegetable 'King of Pain, 1"
that is sold upon equally as strong
guarantee. Among the various family
remedies to be introduced are unfailing
specifics for all forms of kidney, blad-
der and stomach disorders, blood poi
son and diseases of the skin, catarrh
and its numerous resulting compIica-
tons, rheumatism and all forms of fe-
male troubles, each and every one rec
commended not as cure all, but for the
diseases mentioned only.
Due announcement of the exact date
of arrival of the show and big free per-
formances will be made later, and we
advise our readers to attend, whether
they decide to try the remedies or not,
as the entertainments will doubtless be
worth while.

viii Remain in johnson City.

1t is gratifying to know that the re-
port of the early departure of Mr.. and
Mrs. H. H. Kirkpatrick for Florida, to
take up their residence there, is untrue.
They will not go to the "land of flow
ers" but will remain in johnson City,
where Mr.. kirkpatrick will retain his
position as the genial superintendent
of the Johnson City Traction Company.

BROWNLOW D0WNED AGAIN.
Evans Men Again Defeat THE Big B9ss' y
Organization.

Evans Men Again Defeat The Big BGss' "
Organization.
At the senatorial and floterial conven-
ton held in johnson City today Thurs
day. the followers of H. Clay Evans
again demonstrated their strength over
all opposition. Under the call issued
by the senatorial committee, the court
house In Johnson City was designated
as the place for holding the convention.
When the hour arrived, Brownlow's
men repaired to an adjoining calf lot,
and in the presence of perhaps dozen
or more spectators proceeded to hold
convention. r. E. Donnelly and o. B.
Lovette we're elected chairman and Sec
rotary respectively. After drafting
resolutions endorsing Brownlow, the
following candidates were nominated:
SENATOR. A. Wilson.
Floater-J. B. Bewley.
Joint representative for Garter and
Johnson counties-J. n. Edens.
In the meantime, after the Brownlow
men had repaired to the calf lot, the
Evans men met in the courthouse and
A. B. Bowman was elected temporary
chairman and A. N. Bolton secretary.
On motion, the chair appointed a
committee to wait upon the BrownlOw
men and invite them to participate in
the convention, assuring them of q
square deal and every consideration to
which, under existing conditions, they
might be entitled. This invitation was
peremptorily refused. 1t then being
apparent that the Brownlow crowd was
resolved to form separate convention,
the Evans men proceeded to business,
and in dignitied, orderly way carried
through the work Of the convention.
Committees on candidates and reso-
Iutions we're appointed and made their
reports. The Allen and Robinson del
egations from Carter and Greene coun-
ties were declared regular and were
given seats. The temporary organiZa-
ton was then made permanent.
! The following names were placed in
nomination for state senate W. H.
Nelson of Carter, f. P Robinson o.
Greene, aud W. T. Garter of Washing
ton. After six ballots w. r. Allen o
Garter was nominated. r. NJ May o.
Washington county was unanimously
chosen as the candidate for hoater
Col. G. P. Toncray got the nomination
for joint representative from johnson
and Carter counties.
The following resolutions were sub
mitted to the convention by s. r. Sell

To Rid Animals of Lice.

A bulletin recently issued by the Ok.
lahoma experiment station gives the
following formula for making kerosene
emulsion to rid farm animals of lice.
Hard soap, one half pound; kerosene
(cheap grade) two gallons; water, one
gallon. Cut the soap in shavings and
boil in water until the soap Is dis.
solved. Remove the soap solution from
the fire and add kerosene, and churn
or spray back until n thorough emul.
sion Is made. To set emulsion add
seven gallons of water, and use this
for spraying or dipping. This emul.
sion may be applied to any of the farm
animals by means of a sponge, brush
or spray pump, without any Injury
whatever, and when thoroughly ap.
piled it will rid the stock of lice This
emulsion may also be used to free poul.
try from lice. Place the emulsion in a
vessel of convenient size and dip the
fowls, being sure to get all portions
of the body wet, and hold them In the
dip one minute. After treating the
fowls the emulsion may be used TO
spray the roosts and coops, and in this
way rid them of mites and lice

MIX Cows.

The Hollanders evidently breed and
feed for milk first of all. That they
succeed is proved by the large milk
yields of their cows. That large milk
flow, seemingly regardless of butter-fat
percentage, pays them is proved by
their prosperity. The dairyman here
thinks it necessary to pay small prices
for dairy cows that annually yield
from 5000 to 1000 pounds Of milk.
What the financial result to him is, the
wretched records show only too plain
ly He is the worst-paid farmer in the
land. What could he not do If, instead
of breeding, buying, feeding and milk
ing cheap cows, he were to breed, feed
and milk COWS of the II 800 to 1860
pound class? The Frieslanders and
other Hollanders, with their gigantic
cows, make money on milk produced
on soil that costs from $500 to $4,000

OSTRICHES $500 A PAIR.
Nevertheless, Raising Them Is Not Get
RichQuick Scheme

The ostrich business in the United
States is fairly prosperous, especially in
the Salt River Valley, Arizona, where
1900 Of the 22O0 ostriches in the coun-
try are owned.
This is n new line of animal industry
for Americans and there is much to be
learned. We have not thus far produced
such fancy birds as have some of the
more experienced breeders in South
Africa. but the size seems to be increas-
ing and the health of the birds is all
that could be desired.
So far serious ostrich diseases have
not troubled the American raiser; even
the so-caled barring of the feathers has
not been observed. OstriChes need n
hot, dry climate, such as is found in
the southwest. The rainy portion of the
south is far less desirable, although this
is sometimes mentioned as suitable for
ostrich raising.
Alfalfa pasture is also essential; an
acre Of alfalfa will carry four ostriches
and. which is of far more import, nee,
will keep them in good health. Our
American 0striches are now worth $500
pair at four years of age. No one
should imagine that ostrich farming is
get rich quick scheme, for the birds
are not ready for mating until they be
come four years old.-Country Life i'll
