Great Bend Man Gets a Patent.

Robert B. Pfster, of this city,
has been granted a patent on an
improved brick making machine
that promises to make some good
money for its inventor.
To look at. it is a rather COM
plicated piece of mechanism to
one not acquainted with the bust
ness, but it is said by experts to
be the best thing of its kind ever
put out,
Here's hoping that the inventor
will be a millionaire from the
proceeds of his invention.

A FATAL HUNTING ACCIDENT,
William E. NOStfand Of EIlinWOOd Ac,
Cideltally Shot Sunday Afternoon.

A party of Elhnwood men. con-
Sisting of William E. Nostrand,
r. HerOld, G. Eishold and Mr..
Wurm went to the Cheyenne bot
toms north of Ellinwood Sunday
on a duck hunt, and after getting
several ducks were preparing to
start for home, when in some
manner the gun which Mr..
Nostrand had. a repeating shot
gun, was accidentally discharged,
the entire load going through his
hand and striking him in the head
near the right eye.
The rest of the party hastily
gathered their things together and
brought the injured man to Ellin-
wood where he died about ten
minutes after getting him to the
physicians office. Mr.. Nostrand
leaves a wife and one child, and
had sufficient property and life
insurance to leave them we'll pro-
vided for. He was a man about
forty-fve or six years of age and
been a farmer in that neighbor-
hood for number of years hay
ing leased his farm recently and
moved into town to live.

The State Fair.

The management of the state fair to
be held at Nashville in October have
requested farmers in all parts of the
state to save the best samples of their
wheat and other grains, threshed and
in the sheaf, for exhibition in their To-
cal fairs and in the state fair. The pol
icy of the state fair management is to
encourage county fairs, and thus locally
interest. and encourage farmers and
other producers in laudable emulation
which will be of benefit to them and
their communities and to the state at
large. The greater the local interest in
the wholesome and neighborly competi-
ton in producing the best results and
in securing recognition for noteworthy
accomplishments, the greater will be
the interest and the pride in a greater
exhibition of products at the state fair
which will represent the industries and
practical energies and enterprises of the
whole state.
The state fair will afford the opportu-
nifty for the exhibition and display of
the best productions and attainments
from all the sections and counties, and
thus in a generous rivalry, foster by
the best endeavors county and state
pride in the advancement OF the mate
rial interests of great commonwealth.

In RrOWnlOM'S District.


The Dead Sea fruit gathered by
Brownlow in putting the lid on Dear
Artie' should have taught him that
danger turks in efforts to suppress the
Legitimate opinions of newspapers; but
the ex-boss seems blind to the lesson.
News comes from Greenevile that the
Sun Of that town has been enioined
from espousing the cause of ALI Taylor,
Brownlow's opponent for congress, be-
fore the rank and file of republicans.
Now, whenever the Sun rises to re.
mark that it is dark and gloomy day
its readers will Immediately Jump to
the conclusion that Brownlow has been
hit "snb rosa, beneath the fifth rib,
and all according to Hoyle or the law.
The Hon. ALT can afford to grin and
look pleasant either way the injunotton
goes; for, if against him the Greenevil-
ians will say to themselves, "Gee Will
likens, if only the court would turn the
Sun loose wouldn't it score old Brown
low?" If for him, the Sun can very
decently give it out that Brownlow
isn't the man he used to be; but that
'Iittle ALI" is a most worthy successor
to his congressional shoes, though Of
course not big enough to fill the ex.
boss breeches, as Hon. H. Clay Evans
seems bent upon securing this portion
of the spoils from the expiring boss.
Meantime while the republicans of
this republican stronghold are trying
to offer up Boss Brownlow as a sacrifice,
and contending among themselves for
his wardrobe, democracy up there is
getting itself into splendid shape. II
is putting on a fighting front, and if il
will but select its standard bearer with
wisdom-say some young, energetic
and capable leader like Cy Lyle, who
on former occasion cut the republican
majority in two-there is just chance
that the Brownlow district may return
a democratic congressman.
This would be a victory indeed. l
would virtually put republicanism on
of business in Tennessee, so far as i
hopes to become anything except dis
pensary of federal pie, and it looks lik
Lyle might turn the trick, for whel
Evans gets his breeches and Taylo
gets through tearing at his shoes tn
erstwhile boss, if renominated by tn
republicans, will be over heavily hand
icapped to run successfully against
thoroughbred democratic entry like G.
Lyle. -Commercial-Appeal.

There has been a lot of explaining
among the democrats as to how James
Allen came to give the vote of Greene
county to Patterson. No two stories
agree, and we doubt if any of them is
the whole truth until the narrator goes
back to the time when, John Isaac Cox
traded off Hugh Gouchenour, then a
candidate for congress. Gouchenour
now happens to be the democratic boss
of Greene county, and he loves John
Isaac with all the devotion of his fell
low sufferer, Cy Lyle. -Morristown
