Civil District.

1t appears to me that never before
in the history of the Democracy of
Lawrence County was unity and thor
Ough organization so eminently essen
tial as at the present time, and before
the coming November election Not
only should the crushing defeat of the
party met with in the recent election
stimulate us to activity, but the princi-
piles represented by the men who are
recognized as the standard bearers of
the two great political parties in Ten.
nessee. The principles represented by
the greatest little man in Tennessee,
Hon. M R Patterson, are principally
the same as those of his predecessors,
and which have given to Tennesseans as
good if not better administration than
any other State in the Union. Many
of you have heard Evans great opening
speech in Lawrenceburg, September 10,
and therefore / need not comment on it.
It's now a question as to whether you
are going to vote for imam" and true
Democratic principles and government,
or for a man Of force bill" ideas and
shambattle, or social equality principles
"United we stand, divided we fall, -
Let us therefore meet on Saturday
night, October 27, 1906 at 1880 P NJ,
at Cunningham store, in the city of
Ethridge, in the 10th Civil District,
and organize Patterson Club, and go
on record as having given Patterson the
largest vote ever given a candidate for
Governor
Every Democrat is urged to be pres
ent and register his contempt against a
man of such principles as advocated by
the Republican candidate for Governor
of the Volunteer State.

Nearly every church of my acquain-

dominate it and kill its influence for
good. These members are in for good

we all fall into line and go to the bad

Mr.. EDITOR--I agree with you. Any
entertainment fit to be given for the
church is fit to be given in the church.

spiritually as to have to resort to
theatres, hying-jenny's, or other devils
agencies for support it's time for the
good people therein (if there be any to

out of the great number of people of
this town who profess a love for the
Master, there are more than few who
think that the brick aud mortar, wood
and windows that go to make up the
church are of such peculiar sanctity or
divine fibre as to be contaminated by
the giving of these entertainments
therein. Brother you should examine
yourself and see if your religion is on
straight am afraid your inclination
is more for the theatre than the church.
