HON. A. A. TAYLOR'S
NEW LECTRUE

Hon. A. A. Taylor delivered his new
lecture at the Methodist church in
Johnson City Thursday night, Septem
Der 28, to large and appreciative au.
dience. His subject, "The Sheathing
of the Sword" opens up boundless
field, and furnishes endless material
from which to construct a lecture re.
plete with history, biography, philoso-
ply, wit, eloquence, pathos and pro-
foundest thought Colonel Taylor was
at his best. and appeared to have
chooses subject most fitted and adapt
ed to his abilities as a speaker an en-
tertainer. For fiuency ninbleness of
thought and sparkling epigram he is
without peer. His lecture shows
that he is scholar and a thinker along
original lines, and in addition that he
had correctly analysed the very phi
losophy of history it self, drawing
lesson from the rise and fall of nations
and peoples of the past, digging down
to the foundations Of cause and effect.
Labor and honest were presented as
the harbingers of peace, and tn It state
from which man had achieved the
greatest happiness, the greatest good
and the greatest advancement To the
extent labor had been glorified, uplift-
cd and made honorable the common
people had progressed onward and up
ward to highest heights. His perora-
ton ON the "Prices of Peace, the life
and walk and work and mission of the
lowly Nazarene was billiant and
eloquent close, bringing out with rare
tone and feeling his qualities as an
orator. The lecture is splendidly pre-
pared, most charmingly presented,
and the friends of Colonel Taylor pre-
dict that it will give him added re-
cognition as an entertainer.

BULL TERRIERS

On account of the fact that we have
not the time to write personal letters
in answer TO all of our correspondence,
we beg to submit this circular letter
which in a general way describes The
Pit Bull Terrier, and our dogs of that
breed.
The Pit Bull Terrier is cross Of the
English Bull Deg and the English
Terrier. He is fully as game, much
quicker and mare intelligent than the
Bull Dog; and retains all of the alert,
wide awakeness of the Terrier.
There are two types of Bull Terriers
the Bench dog which is bred for
show alone, and which is commonly
known as the English Bull Terrier,
and the Pit Dog. The bench bred dog,
which is or should be, pure white, is
not necessarily game. The Pit dog,
has been carefully bred for hundreds Of
years with that one idea, gameness,
until he is now, probably without ex-
ception, the most courageous animal
in the world. AS a guard for the hen
roost or stable he has no equal, and his
instinct to protect his masters family
or his masters property is as finely
developed as Is that of the Collie to
drive cattle or the Pointer to find birds.
He is a perfect companion for walk
or drive, and lady accompanied by
such bunple of energy and loyalty
has protector which will defend her
with his life.
AS fighting dog he is of course the
only dog If properly trained he will
fight as long as he can stand, and then
some, in fact IL often occurs that two
we'll bred dogs of this species will both
die in the pit without either making
sound of complaint or an offer to quit.
We have been carefully buying and
breeding for years, raising and keeping
only those perfect in style, conforma-
item and gameness; and we are confid-
ent that a better bunch of dogs was
never gotten together than our present
kennel of five dogs and twenty-five
bitches, representing as they do all
the famous strains of fighting dogs
such as Bob-taiIed Bob, Delihant's
Paddy, Robinson's Terry, White Lion,
Judge Lynch, Swineford's Saxon,
Black Brandy, Schofield's Paddy,
Bhrnett's Cyclone Dublin, Toby, Re-
nown Pat, and others equally as good.
We sell healthy pups without fault,
weights at maturity 25 to so pounds,
colors-coal black, pure white, solid
brindle, tan, red, faw, buckshin, or
mature as fast fight
ing, hard Furnishing dogs, willing to
scratch as long as they can crwal and
to the death, at the following prices:
Two months old-either sex $1,000
Pair male and female, not related $3.50
Older stock matter of correspon-
dence.
Our terms are cash, or we will send
c. o. ID. if deposit of five dollars to
insure express charges is made with
the order; in which case or g. o. d.
charge is for the price agreed upon less

BODY REV. MR.. DRAPER
TAKEN TO GATE CITY

The body of Rev. G. B. Draper,
whose death at Morristown Monday
during the final session of the Holston
CONVENIENCE brought sorrow to the
many ministers, will be taken 10 Gate
City today. Mr.. Draper was native
of that section and his body will be
buried there.
The Rev. Mr.. Draper was taken ill
of appendicitis last weed and was
hurried to the Morristown hopital and
operated upon. He died while the
appointments were being read out, at
the closing session of the conference.

ed to be gentleman and and honor
able man, entitled to consideration as
such, but the Knoxville Journal &
Tribune, in todays issue, that great
non partisan paper, keeper of all the
relics of "fair deals" and square deal"
for all East Tennessee, prints as a news
item yelled attack upon McMahan
under the cover of a special from New
port, and charges that he is ward"
of DR.. McMahan, and that his apoint-
ment was to boost Massey for Congress
The fact that man is supposed to be
for DIR. Massey seems to be seized upon
as just grounds to attack him as bad
man. DIR. Massey was elected to Con-
gress at the same time Mr.. Sells was
elected, and both by practically the
same vote. If Massey now elects to
exercise his sovereign right to run for
congress again, then when and why
did he so suddenly become bad man.

Auburn was the leader by one point.

more than doubled and all of Jack

That first squabble was disappoint-

club could not get going. Auburn APP
peared fast, with the best passwords,
and Earl Major, Auburn's center did
some >reJl work, both in the field anu
goals and foul shooting.
