Don't he try now:" asked Baker

Don't he try now:" asked Baker.
 He does It 'thout tryin'," said Han cock. That's the best way. after all. When Wes started out he didn't know enough to keep from pesterin'. He pes tered his woman inter marvin him In the first place. She'd have been willin' enough to marry him anyway. but he didn't know enough to know that. an the consekens was she allus could tell how she give him the mitten three times afore she took him. Well, Wes didn't care for that He told her that If she'd only take him he'd jest put in the rest of his days tryin' to please aer an he started in ten minutes after the preacher said no man was to try to put 'em asunder.
 T remember soon after they settled down she said one time that the barn ought to be painted an Wes went to town 'thout sayin' anythin' to her about 1t an brought Jud Harper an five gal Ions O yaller paint back with him an while she was over to her mothers they painted that barn roof an all as yaller as punkin. You'd have thought that would have pleased her, but It didn't. She said she didn't mean 1t ought to be painted right away, an there was things needed paintin' a sight more than the barn, an if he'd painted it anythin' why hadn't he painted 1t red an what was the use ) payin' Jud Harper 8, when he could have done the job jest as well him self an saved the money, an she'd sooner have took the SS he'd spent for shrubs in the front yard for oilcloth for the kitchen floor or seed potatoes, an where was the sense in paintin' the roof:'
 That's jest the way with 'em, b gosh," said the storekeeper.
 "Wes turned in an got her the oil cloth" resumed Hancock. He done il for a surprise, an she lowed she was surprised-at his dunn foolishness. There wasn't nothin' wrong with the oilcloth 'ceptin' the pattern. She'd set her heart on somethln' different, O course, an anyway she hadn't no more use for oilcloth in the kitchen than a toad has for tail. She thought he'd De actin heap more sensible to put what money he had In the bank an git ilong with things around the house the way they was until they felt more lble"

First Newspaper in Tennessee.

Book for September. a magazine pub
lished in New York, gives the title and
date of the first newspaper published in
the several states, in which this state
ment appears: "rhe Knoxville Gazette
appeared in Tennessee id 1793."
November 5, 1891, is signalized in
the Annals of Tennessee as the day on
which the Knoxville Gazette, the first
newspaper, was issued within the
borders of the state two years earlier
than the date given by the writer in
the Scrap Book. The unsettled con-
dition of the country, growing out OF
Indian forays, forcen Mr.. George
Roustone to establish his press tenn
porarily at Rogersville, in Hawkins
county, where the paper was issued as
the Knoxville Gazette until February,
1899, when Gen Bloant fixed the seat
of government of the territory of the
United States south Of the Ohio River
at Knoxville, and shortly afteaward the
Knoxville Gazette was removed to iii

Malcolm R. Patterson.

Not in many years las Tennessee had
a stronger man than M. R. Patterson as
q candidate for governor 1t never had
q bolder or more courageous one. Pub
lie men are judged by their abilities,
their integrity, their capacity to serve
the public, their devotion to high and
honorable duty, By these tests Mr..
Patterson measures to the full stature
of man. His character for honesty
and integrity will stand the test. His
ability nobody disputes. His boldness
and frankness and qualities Of leader
ship have been demonstrated. His de-
mocracy nobody who knows him ques-
tiOns. He is an intense democrat, and
was never anything else. He never
voted anything but democratic ticket.
For president he has voted for Cleve-
land three times, Bryan twice and Par
ker once. No man of his age could have
voted for more. He has not been mere
ly passive but an active democrat. He
has never been q chronic office seeker.
When very young man he was defeat
ed as a democratic candidate for the
legislature. He was elected attorney
general Of Shelby county, and the bril-
liant record he made in that office is
open to all. He courts investigation
of it. He has been three times elected
to congress. He won the nomination
for governor by bis own efforts and
without money. He assailed no mans
personal character and all he did was
done in the broad light of day before
the whole public. All he did we do not
approve, but he was strangely bold and
frank and there was never a moment he
would have yielded or stifed his opin-
ions for the office he sought or for any
other Office. He won men to him who
are often critical in view and who think

Public ownership of the railways in
wolves not only revolution, but pre-
posterous revolution. It means CEN
tralization, federalism, ofiicialism, car
ried to lengths undreamed of by Fred
erick, by Napoleon and by Hamilton.
II would work change as sweeping as
the abolition of property in land, or
the election of the president for life
Was Mr.. Bryan bound to open up such
discussion with the situation full of
living issues to meet and dispose of ?
Can he think that the support of the
faction of socialists, who strike out so
heedlessly and make so much noise, is
essential to our success in 1908? Is
not the field as it is sufficient to our
hand without going to the wood for
timber, quitting the ready plow to take
to the waiting axe handle? Have we
not, the last ten years, made breaks
enough? ? Or, must we go on forever
mistaking icebergs for whales :?
The Courier.J Journal wishes to speak
with proper courtesy, kindness and re-
spect; but also with becoming sincerity
and earnestness because we accept
Mr.. Bryan's leadership unreservedly,
have considered no alternative, shall
labor increasingly for his election and
truly want him elected.
That he never can be elected, and
ought not to be nominated, on a plat
form Of public ownership is our fixed
belief. 1t is remedy for no existing
evil. 1t is at war with the philosophy
taught by Jefferson, by Jackson, and
by Mr.. Bryan himself. The suggestion
is enough to make the sage of Monti-
cello turn over in his grave, Old Hick-
ory to sit up in his coffin, angels to
weep and demons to laugh; consum-

life in Tennessee in many years.
He has been cruelty slandered, per-

misrepresented, and as result many
voters who know little or nothing of
him except by hearsay have wrong
and unjust opinion of him. They will
concede this, as many have done, when
they come to know kim. The democ-
racy never had more worthy candi-
