THE GROWING OF
THE BRITISH KING
With Queen Mary His Majesty Was
Crowned in Westminster Abbey
With all Religious Ceremony of
Historic Custom.

London, June 22.-wilh regal
splendor never before equaled in
the history Of the English nation,
George v. and his consort, Mary,
were crowned king and queen in the
historic cid Westminster Abbey to-
day. The crown was placed on the
kings head by the Archbishop Of
Canterbury at 1887 O'clock.
Clouds and DrixzIc.
The ceremony of the coronation
and the accompanying pageant in
The streets of London when their
majesties drove through the streets
between hundreds OF thousands of
their cheering subjects was mag
niiicent in its details, despite I'M
favorable conditions-cloudy skies
and drizzling showers.
Coronation day broke foggy and
lowering with rain threatening to
spoil the pageant and ruin the dec
orations. There was q murky driz-
zle in the air when the morning
salute was fired at dawn, which
turned at times into showers.
Despite the Indictment weather

OF thousands OF people, thousands
of whom had camped out through

A striking incident took place Just
as the king and queen were leaving
Buckingham for the drive to the
historic abbey. AS they stepped in
to the royal carriage the sun sud-
denly broks through the leaden skies
falling upon the FURNISHED brass
and glass of the ancient coach.
Again, in Westminster Abbey, a
little later. when the king solemnly
took the oath to govern his people
according to the laws of the land
and was proclaimed king by the
grace OF God, Of the United King

and of the British dominion hey

Faith, and Emperor OF India the
sun again burst forth through the
gray clouds and fell through the

splendor.
The coronation passed Off with
out untoward incident, in marked
contrast with the coronation Of
King Edward nine years ago, when
the king was weak and suffering
from a recent operation and the
Archbishop of Canterbury was so
weak from old age that he placed
the crown on the kings head back

Modern London had never known
such a day of excitement and

| knew her in the long ago,
A simple rural maid,
And oft DER happy hill and dale
Together we have strayed.
Her gentle voice, her pleasant smile,
Her bright and sparkling eye
A sunny gladness gave the earth,
A glory to the sky.
And youth will love, and youth will
dream,
And down the years to be
A golden bliss awaited us

Yes, youth will love, and youth will

But death is deaf and cold;
There is mound, lonely mound
But why should the rest be told?

His defeat was inevitable, and in this
demoraIized state Of affairs the popular
.campaigner, Senator Taylor. was per-
suaded by the remnants Of friends Of
the baDisaed chief to raise the banner
of tie lost cause. bat with all his mag
netism and oratory Governor Taylor
could not move the opposition. The
result was the election Of Governor
Hooper. a Republican. The Legisla-
ture met and the last act in the politi-
cal drama was the desertion Of party
alignment By that remnant which had
sworn 70 die 10 the last ditch for De-
mocracy, in the election Of Repub-
lican State Treasurer.
Thus in Tennessee for the first time
since the Civil War the ideals Of party
loyalty have failed TO arouse the patri-
otism Of Democrats; and whyl
1t was not alone a case Of Prohibition
or Prohibition. Democratic candi-
dates and leaders had broken faith with
the party. Election and other reforms
we're promised but not forthcoming.
Corruption was laid at the door Of Gov
ernor Cox and Governor Patterson in
vited criticism in the wholesale dis
charge Of convicts from the State
prison. The late Governor also refused
to restore the election machinery to the
people. All these things caused dis
satisfaction in the party, and, coupled
with many other political disgraces in
the State, Democrats began to tire Of
whip in which they had no confidence.
They would not be driven under the
lash Of discredited leader, and so in
Tennessee we have the anomaly Of a
double alliance OF Democrats and Re
publicans It is not consummation
devoutly to be wished, but it is fact,
and the man who expects to lead here
after must be something more than a
Democrat or Republican. Party lines
are passing, and they should pass when
men forget everything else but their
own selfish ambitions to gain the high
est seats.
There will be regeneration, how
ever. Reason will yet sit on the throne
and good will come out OF the entangle-
ments Of a distraught people. The
time is not yet, but in such when
men who are men will take the lead,
and the State will once more assume its
station as one OF the leading common
wealths Of great country. This may
not be with the restoration Of so-called
Democracy, but it will be under a gem
uine and not spurious Democracy.

A Welcome Visitor.

Charles J. Wright, after an absence
Of tweny-one years as a citizen Of SPRING
field. Mo-, was visitor in the county
this week. Dir. Wright was former
citizen Of the county, a resident Of Troy,
and took advantage of a business trip. TO
Memphis to visit his old-time friends.
Mr. Wright is a distinguished Alisso lri
barrister. He is a son Of the late Prof.
Chas. Wright, an Englishman by birth,
who taught private schools with remark
able success at different points Of the
county for many years, later locating
IN Chicago, where his death occurred
and that Of bis beloved wife a few years
later. Many OF our citizens remember
Mr.. Wright and his family with thes
greatest esteem and pleasure. They
also remember the young man, who,
after he had been carefully trained under
the personal direction of his father and
later graduated in law at Lebanon, be-
gan the practice Of law at Troy. Tile
firm OF Wright and Wright, Charles J.
and Edward, is now one among the
leading practitioners Of Missouri, with
clientage whose business is a fiatter-
ing tribute to the worth of these gem
tlemen.
Mr. Wright informs us that among
the different courts of Missouri the prac-
tice is continuous before the bar eyery
day in the year, and his leaving home
was made possible only by the assistance
Of his brother, who is also kindly re-
membered here He also infofms us
that he has one client whose business
viii take him to Leeds, EnglaFd, prob
ably in May. and while thep1 he will
have a chance to visit his relatives,
whom he has never seen. His father
came to this country from England and
spent some time in the West in the ter
ritories. Leaving that country he start
ed for Nicaragua, but stopped in Ten
nessee and began teaching school. The
teacher was born in London and became
q court stenographer. He was there
fore one among the first stenographers
in the United States and the first prob
ably to teach that accomplishment in
Tennessee. He was man OF delight
full personality and the highest intellec-
tual gifts, and his memory fingers with
hundreds of people in the county and
in other States who were once his pupils
The son, Missouri lawyer, tells us
that he has altogether abandoned Grim
inal practice. Other business absorbs
his attention, and his preference is to
leave work that has become very I'M
desirable in many ways. Many Of the
friends here will be glad to know that
he is loyal Cumberland Presbyterian.
His welcome among relatives and old
time friends was very wholesome and
cordial and mutually pleasant indeed.

The good roads committee did not
meet in the city last Monday on ac-
count Of the funeral Of Dr. Holloway,
but Mr.. Reynolds informs us that one
Of the committee alone has a subscrip-
ton of ST, 900. Others are personally
interested in the work and a meeting
will be held at the courthouse in Union
City on the first Monday in March to
organize and arrange for the work.
This enterprise will no doubt meet with
a hearty and generous Endorsement. A
good road to Reelfoot Lake means a
revival Of business interests all along
the line. 1t means the Inauguration Of
q good roads system all over the county
and it means much to numbers Of peo-
pie who yearly visit the lake. The com
mittee will soon start an active cam
paign for this road, and expect to be
ready soon for the survey.
