wild cat still for many years and is
now getting too old to indulge and OPP
crate the business any further on ac-
count of his feeble physical and men
tai condition. can give you his name
in full if you doubt the truth of this
statement in the least | will thank
some able writer to explain to my sat-
isfaction why this country is flooded
with so many wildcatters which Judge
McReynold's and the the state attoru-
ey has failed to check and put quie-
tus on this business, which is getting
worse and increasing daily, two to
one. l don't pitch this paragraph at
anyone that is living in Whitwell, but
that neighbor of ours right over there,
he is hold sucker, indeed. In the
year 1894 when / first came to this
country l found few wild cat sti lis

on at much higher rate of increase
than it was way back in the sixtys,
and to my honest opinion will be 60
ing on here when this present century
closes. If the present law enforced in
this state has ever checked the increas-
ed overflow of the vast number of wild
caters in the state in the least, / fail
ed to see it, while am temperance
man all the way through. If YOU
know any remedy let me have it,
Rev. Founders and Rev. Frisbie
with their wives have located and
pitched their tent at Jasper. and if
you doubt that their meeting is COM
plete success just keep your eye on
them and watch.
DR.. P. c. Grsyson and wife have
come back home after four weeks
stay across the river at Rev. F. M.
Shirley's. His wife has been almost
belfast for a month, not able to do
anything at all.
The Red Hill public school has got
their matters adjusted by J. J. Dykes
giving them another teacher to teach
the higher grades He added as teach
er the daughter of D. F. Holloway.
W. Fl. Whites brother-in-law, John
H. Pryor, and family of this county,
and son of P g. Pryor, late of JAS
per, are now permanently located at
Los Angeles, Cal. Mrs. P. G. Pryor
and two daughters, Mrs Richards and
Mrs. johnson, of Chattanooga AID
son, Dave Pryor, are all now settsed in
Los Angeles. Any person wishing to
write to them can do so by addressing

Every farmer for miles around was
running his moving machine last
week, trying to make hay while the
sun shines.
J. M. Price has gone to Chattanoo-
ga to reside and enter into the law
business. l failed to get the place of
his location, but will say Jim is
hustler and fast trotter and covers
all the ground that he stands on.
Ye writer went to Cedar Spring to
see Uncle Billie Hudson, who is bed
fast with chronic rheumatism and old
age. He is probably the oldest citi-
zen living in that locality and has
been helpless almost for several years.
He is living with his son, David Hud-
son. l found all of his children gath
cred around the bedside of their dear |
father. Mr.. Hudson and family resid
ed on Cumberland mountain and own
ed beautiful home out there, and his
home was always open to receive 9th
ers at any time, day or night. They
always found a welcome friend and a
shelter in the time of storm. / hope
the good people of Cedar Springs will
reflect over the past and in his last
be sure and not neglect their
duty they owe to Bro Hudson. Ye
writer has stayed over night with
him many times in days gone by
when his little family were all at
home. l imagine can hear his voice
still ringing to those that would CALL
saying, sect down, come right in, |
dinner or supper is ready" Oh, what
a noble, kind hearted man Mr.. Hud- |
sou was. He has said the same words |
to you Cedar Springs people every |
time you called and for Gods sake |
don't let him want for anything or
come short of your help. 1t had been
80 hours since he bad been turned over |
in bed when l was there, but the end
was expected at any time. 1t did |
grieve my very soul within me to find
as good man as Uncle Bill Hudson
in such a condition that there wasn't |
any possible chance for his recovery. l
will say to all the children, when your
father is laid in the silent tomb and
his spirit takes its everlasting flight
to the sweet beyond that if you live
and conduct yourselves as your father
did, on the morning of the resurrect-
ion of the dead, you will meet him
far above the skies where there is no
sickness, pain, sorrow or death, and
you all will be once more united
