& Washington, D. c., April 27.-Rep-
resentative Sims is averse to discussing
the possibility of his being nominated
othe Governorship by the Democrats,
but it is known that he is in receipt of
letters from many prominent men in
the State urging him to make the race.
II have received some letters of that
Kind" admitted Mr.. Sims to-day. Il
do not mind saying in reply to my
friends who have written asking to be
allowed to press my name for the NOM
nation, / have said / will not be plac-
led in the attitude of seeking the nomi-
nation at this time. Several names
have been mentioned in connection with
the nomination, among them some of
my constituents whom would not OPP

There is believed to be strong pos

A Beautiful Play.

Tempest and Sunshine" beauti-
full play with Southern atmosphere OF
before the war, to be seen at Reynolds
Opera House on Tuesday night, May IL,
is dramatization of Mary j. Holmes
popular novel of that name by Lem b.
Parker, and it is unnecessary to go into
detail, other than to add that it is a
complete production in every particu-
lar and the majority are familiar with
Mary ]. Holmes style.
The cast is headed by Gertrude Richie
and Marie Young, who have been seen
separately in many well-known produc-
tons, but it remained for w. f. Mann
to secure them both for the same attrac-
ton. You are promised an unusually
pleasant evenings entertainment by
these two clever actresses and company.

Anti Hog Ticket Wins.

Obion, Tenn, April 25.-Consider-
able interest was manifested in an cleo
ton held here yesterday for the purpose
of selecting mayor and three alder
men. There were two tickets in the
field, and the main issue was whether
or not hogs should run at large on the
streets. The anti-hog ticket was headed
by A. Wilson, the present mayor, who
was reelected. Mr.. Wilson defeated
his opponent, Hon. E. j. Green, a
prominent young attorney, almost two
to one. The aldermen elected were: ].

Never Drench Cattle.

More cattle die from the effects OF
being drenched than from tubercu-
losis
Perhaps the best way Of demonstrate
ing the danger of drenching cattle
is to advise the reader to throw back
MS head as far as possible and at
tempt to swallow. This you will find
to be difficult task and you will find
1t much more difficult and almost i'm
possible to swallow with mouth open.
1t is for this reason that drenching
c&t.ic is q dangerous practice. There
fore, II a cows head be raised as high
as possible and her mouth kept open.
by the drenching bottle or horn. a
portion OF the liquid is very ant to
pass down the windpipe into the
lungs, sometimes causing instant
death by smothering. At other times
causing death to follow in q few days
from congestion or Inflammation of
the lungs.
We are constantly receiving letters
at this Office describing the sudden
death OF animals that were ailing with
such minor ailments as constipation
or loss of appetite, and upon investi-
cation find that they had been
drenched and the cause of their death
was due to same. This is oftentimes
r<oved by sending out one OF our as
sistant veterinarians to hold post
mortem upon such animals, only to
find that a portion Of the drench was
still in the lungs; other cases where
death had been prolonged and later
the animal had died of mechanical
pneumonia.
do not feel that the stock raisers
OF this country realize the danger in
drenching cattle and the enormous
financial loss brought about by same.
