SUGAR TREE.

Rev. MI. Baker preached good
sermon at Manly's Chapel Sunday
forenoon.
James Henry and Miss Cora
Miller were married here Sunday.
We extend congratulations and
best wishes.
Crops are fine in this locality.
They have been we'll cultivated,
and the outlook is very promising.
Farmers are in good spirits.
- notice that the Sugar Tree COR
respondent of the Citizen "wrote
up" the election in the thirteenth
district. He made an error when
quoting from my article in The
CHRONICLE by adding "tried to hire
the clean Democrat to vote," and
also that Republican voted. Of
course it was a mistake of the cor
respondent, as he is a "true blue"
one of Hams best, and [ can only
account for it in this way-that
speck of dust got on the glasses of
the correspondent and reflected an
object that looked like the words
he added. [ know he could not
err, as he is Cooper" Democrat,
and [ know he will correct this
without the asking.
He can call us "bolters" or "San-
ders" Democrats to his hearts con-
tent, but we will have to draw the
line at Patterson" or Cooper"
Democrat. Please don't call us
these names, or we will be forced
to sue for SANDER.
We were accused of doing all we
could to keep the "Boose" Demo-
Gratis from holding an election.
The facts are, we did not do any
more than all honest men should
have done, and we have for our re-,
ward a clear conscience. We had
to stay out to maintain our self
respect. If you call that hinder
ing we certainly did, and it seems
like it was "hindered" throughout
the entire State,
Hurrah for The CHRONICLE and
clean politics; goodbye Ham and
Duncan, you are doomed. If a man
has to vote for Ham Patterson to
be true Democrat, then God de-
liver me from being q Democrat,
for | can not vote for a man who
declares publicly that "Dunc"
Cooper, q man who testified on the
witness stand in the Cooper trial
that he had gambled all his life;
man who uses the vilest oaths, is
his friend and political counsellor.
He now asks the endorsement of
the good people of old Tennessee!
Will they do it? My prediction is,
never! Speaking of boilers, all the
heretofore boilers here are lined
up with Ham.
