Dear Santa Claus-If you will stop

of your sleigh and come down the
chimney and leave me all the things |
want, | will not run away any more

little wheelbarrow to haul sand in and
a little hoe, rake and shovel, and a lit
tie wagon, cause the one you brought
me last year is broken. Please don't
forget my little sister, She is only
five months old and dosn't want much.
You'll find our stockings hanging by
the chimney and now dear Santa be-
fore you go please fill my stocking
right up to the hole in the knee, with
candy, oranges and nuts. Santa |

was 'cept my papa. I'm four years

HAWKINS COUNTY MAN
WANTS TO BIZ JUDGE

Greeneville, Tenn, Dec 20.-It has
been imagined in these parts that the
prominent aspirants for circuit Judge
for the first district of Tennessee were
Hon. Dana Harmon and Judge II. T.
Campbell and that either one or the
other of these men would get the NOM
ination and would be elected. 1t de-
velops that there is another man on
the track whose claim will have to be
considered. This man is r. T. Bowen,
of the county Of Hawkins. Hawkins
county is good county and has not
had either Judge or attorney general
for many years. This is in Bowen's
favor. AS q man and a lawyer he
stands fair and is, according to reports,
popular with those with whom he is
acquainted.

AS TO THE JUDGESHIP.

Editor Comet Will you please tell
me if there are only two men in the
republican party who are capable of
serving the people of the First judicial
circuit, viz, Harmon and Campbell j.?
There are hundreds of republicans who
want neither of these Why? Because
Harmon was elected eight years ago,
but went back into the enemy's camp
like a whipped cur; and Campbell,
who has disposition liken to the arc
tic region, who never spoke to any one
and has served sixteen years rs attor-
ney-general and circuit judge. These
two men have had office combined for
thirty-two years and | think that
there is at least one-half dozen repubIi-
cans in the circuit who could fill this
position as well as either, and | think
1t high time to know if this office be-
longs to either of these gentlemen.

First was a yellow store, a two

the whole store as a store house
for heavy articles. They had {
great pair of steel yards, capable
of weighing several hundred
pounds. In the second story was

In 1857 "a young widow bought
