Washington, Dac. Ex-senator r.
L. Taylor and Congressman John W.
Gaines, cooperating with Nashville
parties, are working to secure a gov
ernment boulevard on q thtrty.mile
triangle reaching from Nashville to
the National Cemetery across the
Cumberland river to the Hermitage.
the home Of Andrew Jackson, and
back along the Lebanon road to Nash
vile.
The proposition in brief is that the
government will mschdamize q fifty
foot boulevard along that route II the
land owners will give the right Of way.
The project was suggested by Col. A.
@. Goodlett Of Nashville, and taken uI
by Senator Taylor and Representative
Gaines. The Nashville Board of Trade
is also making every effort that can be
made from the Nashville end.
Should Congress vote to build thil
boulevard it will be one of the greates
roadways in Tennessee. The route ia
more than thirty miles long and th'
Cumberland river would be crossed
twice. Along twenty miles OF thu
route there is already a fine pike road,
but the gap from the National Gene
terry to the Hermitage would have tt
be built almost entirely by the govern,
ment.

day afternoon from Jonesboro where

meeting Of the Republican congress-
ional committee Of the First district.
Gen. Penland held the proxy of Judge
|. M. Lindsay, committeeman from
Sewer county.
The committee ordered o congress
ional primary for Feb. 10, and fixed

didates may qualify.
The committee meeting was held at
0 o'clock Saturday morning at the

Cooke county committeeman, was rep
resented by Sheriff O. 81. Boyer and
Paul E. Divine held the Unicoi county
proxy.
While ordering Congressional pri-
mary for Feb. 10, the committee or.
dered that in the event there is but
one qualified candidate on Feb. 8, then
the committee will meet at Newport on

clare the qualified candidate the party
nominee for congress. In the event

ditions are now better throughout tht
district than they have been in lonl
lime he declared. The latter was a

, to Jonesboro to attend the meeting
continued Gen. Penland. The frs
district congressman has practically
recovered from his illness and is il
better physical condition than for

he is confident that Mr.. Brownlow will
have no opposition and that q primar,
will be unnecessary and other mem
bers Of the congressional committe'
appeared to be of the same opinion. :

Politics in Georgia

"Down our way" said Mr.. Billy

about politics; we talk about it an

an draw maps of the campaigns in the

ny the allegation, and defy the alliga-
tor; and sometimes q knock down an
drag-out fight will come on as onex-
pected as a April shower in June.

agwine for 10 be the next President
Politics is heap more important in
the South in these latter days than
they use to be. We've diskivered that
the Yankees carry on business by
means of politics, an we've got to
come to it ef we're gwine to survive
among the fttest. We've got to make
money enough fer to buy up congress.

joyed an old-fashioned rabbit hunt

Rabbit would not sit and be shot that
he fred both barrels at the fleeing an

mangled il up so that it could not be

he had killed cat will not, appear in

The Nsws-Banner is on record as
favoring primary election to nomi-

we state frankly that if the people are
clamoring for it or demanding it we
have not learned the fact. Although
the gubernatorial race is mentioned
very frequently in our presence, we
rarely hear word spoken as to how
the nomination shall be made. How
ever, the Democrats of Rutherford
county may be different from those in
other sections of the State, and ther
again, it may be that certain papers

SHOULD SAVE THIS ANYWAY
Put it in Some Safe Place, for it May
Come in Handy Some Day.

Here is a simple homemade mixture
as given by an eminent authority on
kidney diseases, who makes the state
ment in New York daily newspaper,
that it will relieve almost any case of
kidney trouble if taken before the
stage of Bright's disease. He states
that such symptoms as lame back, pain
in the side, frequent desire to urinate,
especially at night; painful and dis
colored urination, are readily over
come. Here is the recipe; try it;
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, once onuce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
Shake we'll in bottle and take tea
spoonful dose after each meal and at
bedtime.
A we'll known druggist here in town
is authority that these ingredients are
all harmless and easily mixed at home
by shaking we'll in bottle. This mix
ture has peculiar healing and sooth-
ing effect upon the entire Kidney and
Urinary structure, and often over
comes the worst forms of rheumatism
in just little while. This mixture is
said to remove all blood disorders and
cure the Rheumatism by forcing the
Kidneys to filter and strain from the
blood and system all uric acid and foul,
decomposed waste matter, which causes
these Affections. Try it if you aren't
