Twelve hundred and fifty verses is a
feat but few students in Sunday
school ever accomplished, yet on Sun
day, Oct. 90, that is what Miss Maud
Hart and Miss Myrtle Crabtree, of the
Oak Grove Sabbath school did, each
one reciting the above number from
memory. I've heard of people who
could sit and hear a sermon or a
speech made, and then go home and
repeat it verbatim. l believe it posi-
BILE to so cultivate and train the mem
ory until it will retain whatever is
committed to it. | draw this conclus-
ion from the many verbal messages
sent to and fro over the land. About
four thousand verses stand to the cred
it of each of these two young ladies.
Our superintendent called off the con-
! test between these two girls in order
that they may prepare to take part in
| other exercises to be given Xmas.
Miss Myrtle Crabtree has chosen as
her prize the Sequachee News, and as
l am satisfied she merits prize l sug-
gest she be awarded the News for one
year, beginning now. She, like her
competitor, is a bright, studious young
lady, twenty years old, and gradua-
ted under Miss Minnie Morris at the
Colyar school three years ago. We are
very proud of these two girls that are
so full of ambition, and whose aspira-
tions are of the best. There was only
six verses difference between these Ia
dy contestants. Sorry Miss Maud's
father is preparing to move west, for
we really hate to lose such family
from our community, most especially
from our Sunday School. Jimmie and
Miss Maud are two splendid young
people, rarely, excelled. Miss Maud
will receive her prize before she leaves
us. She is a reader of the News al
ready, so both young ladies will read
the best local paper, in the state, none
excepted. The reason l say this is be-
cause it keeps what / call open house,
and is not too lazy or trifling to set up
the copy its patrons send in, and it
doesn't try to cut out any of its con-
tributors. The News is by far the
best local family paper anywhere and
1 want our young ladies who have won
the prizes offered to try their hand as
correspondents of the News and thus
help entertain the large household of
the News. Now, girls, show your ap-
probation of your friends by doing
something to cheer, Not only that,
girls, but get some subscribers and
thus add to the News family daily.
Many of your friends, we'll know.
prefer the News to any other paper,
and you can secure them at word.
True, times have been rather hard,
but we've lain still long enough. wait
ing for Tracy to die, but she isn't
dead yet, and isn't going to die. The
only thing dead in Tracy City are the
that have always been dead,
those specimens that have no get up
and get in them, and never did have,
the sponges, / mean. Now, we are q
class that means some thing and does
and q whole lot I hope
Miss Myrtle and Miss Maud will never
lot their aspirations and ambitions die,
and that they will fondly remember
The News and ali their friends in the
lays and years TO come. |,

PATTERSON'S BOB.

If Bob Taylor is elected it means
that the same old gang will remain in
power, that if elected Pattersonism
will still live and the lawless can re-
main lawless, and if violators of the
law-boot leggers and criminals and
pistol toters-do get sentenced by the
courts and juries, the pardon mill will
continue to grind them out of Jail and
out of the penitentiary so that their
votes can be utilized to keep the mach
inc in power
While there are some good people
who will cast their votes for Bob; en-
thusiasts whose whole idea regularity;
his hope of success depends, and this
is known by all who stop to think,
mainly on the votes of those who are
opposed to law enforcement in the
state.
He stands forth as the candidate of
the lawless and all the jokes that he
may be able to tell and coon songs he
may sing will not fool the great mass
of moral, decent law abiding citizens
who have become so heartily disguised
with existing conditions Bob has as
sociated with him in his flying tour
one Hickey, who takes part in the
speakings, and who is taken along for
nothing else than to make false accu-
sations against Capt. Hooper, tell lies
about him, and after the entire bar
of Newport (all but one, Democrats)
and mass meeting of the citizens of
Cooke county, both Democrats and Re-
publicans, publicly denounce Hickey
statements as false from beginning to
end, Bob Taylor keeps repeating the
charges, thus endorsing and giving
sanction to the ISLANDERS of proven
liar.
No man who will thus continue to
aid in what he must know is false is
morally fit to be governor of a great
state.
Hon. :" Bob has ceased to be. "Dis-
honorable" has been fastened to his
name by his own conduct. His desire
and lust for his own political fortune
has overcome his respect for decency
in politics, and he shows himself no
better than the gang which has put
him forward. In fact, he shows him
self to be one of them, yet lacking in
the moral courage to admit it.
This the Bob Taylor of now-not Of
other days. The fellows who cursed |
Carmack while he lived and hate his
memory now are all for Bob. Those
who applauded the pardon of Dune
Cooper are all for Bob. The fellows
who want wide open saloons all over
the state are all for Bob. Those who
denounce the ministers of the gospel
and the good women for their zeal for
and temperance and law en-
forcement are all for Bob He knows
this and is not wasting his breath cry
ing ''come home," to this sort of peo
Pile. But he knows they alone cannot
elect him, and he therefore uses the
and tells his tales and sings
his songs to the good people of the
state, hoping to hoodwink and catch
enough of them to aid the gang in his

,es of right are in the minority. We

that in November they will put the

county Republicans admit that "the in.
terests" and Democrats here are for
Scott. You are right for once.

The Wheeling Intelligencer's CORE
spondent speaks Of the election Of
Democrats in Marion county two
years ago and also mentions the fact
that Mr.. Hubbard lost the county II
the fellows who are heading the rump
movement in the county now had been
loyal to the ticket in 1908 the result
would have been different. 1t was
Sherman Depham's ambition in Harrt-
son county after Mr.. Hubbard got the
nomination to give him larger ma.
jority than he received in 1906 and he
worked to that end 1t was Howard
Jennings ambition to make Mr.. Hub
bard lose Marion county and he sue
ceeded. The rump movement differs
from former years only in one par
tlcular. Howard has decided to push
his fight against the ticket out into
the open since he enlisted old man
Powell and Clarence Musgrave on his
side.

We are always "in the middle of the
stream" according to some peoples
notion, when the voters try to unhorse
some man who has been holding Office
half his life. Don't trade horses while
crossing the stream they shout.
"Why, what would become Of us. If
Senator Scott. should not be returned
to the United States Senate and How
ard, Fleming should lose the post
ofice?" Sure enough, what would be-
come of Scott and the Flemings?
Scott, it is said. would move to New
York, Howard to Washington and Tom
Parks to Philadelphia. Have a care,
voters. and don't run these estimable
gentlemen out Of the State; and they
have no use for it II they can't hold
Office in 1t.

think OF Mr.. Hubbard:
on,another page of this paper is an
article concerning the candidacy of

5roadminded man, Of grand ability,
who II elected TO the upper branch OF

III that great legislative body. He Is
recognized as an Intellectual giant
WHO'S able to combat any antagonist
that may confront him in that great
body and stand for what he considers

politics and will not resort to the use

has taken upon this point for If wealth
be made the standard Of those who
may aspire to such high positions
there would be no chance for the
yotingpoor boy to climb the ladder Of
fame and usefulness in this country.
Mr.. Hubbard is q fearless advocate Of
