Ye writer is now three days behind
time and can't even get ON board in
time. l am like friend of mine said
to me the other day. He said he had
the 7-year itch and was now seven
years behind with his scratching, and
so that is the case with me this week,
badly behind. | have not been out to
get the issues of the times, but will
state that there is big law suit on
hand set for Tuesday at one o'clock
before Esq. Holloway. 1t is an eject
ment suit instituted by Joe Janeway
of Chattanooga and the Ridge heirs of
this place VS.. Arthur and James Rich
lie to remove a saw mill off their land,
alleged to have been put on the plain
tiff's land without any color of author
ity. w. H. White represents the
plaintiffs, J. w. Morrison represents
defendants. A good time is expected.
| met my old friend, DR.. n. b.
Moore, today, and he is as fat and sas-
sy and glib as q 16-year old girl and
says the fishing business is now stand
ing on dead eddy. Nothing in sight.
The Hon. D. T. Layne, our state
senator will leave Whitwell tonight
headed for state capital to meet States
coalition and to move along with the
good old state of Tennessee's business
in legal form of law Hurrah for the
good old Ship of State. She now will
quit leaking and dipping water. hur-
rah, boys, this means to put Bill Tart
in for President again in 1912. We
now, boys, have got the democratic
party as badly DISTINGUISHED in Ten
nessee as it was in the dark days of
1861. All we got to do now is to oil
up our counting machine and make
the majority great enough that there
will be no doubt about the result.
When we voted a dry ticket last Nov
ember, we failed to take in consider
ton the fact that we might bring
about drouth and thereby produce
famine in Tennessee. but now since
our uplifters have made deal with
that whiskey crook. Mayor Crump, at
Memphis, the drouth is broken and
famine is vanished and gone and our
prohibition friends are morally dis
credited and the theory of prohibition
is discredited l fsar that my friends
that have refugeed to the State of Ala
bama so long will be unable to collect
their per diem when the legislature
adjourns. If had been running this
legislature / would have conducted
myself and run the states business in
such a way that at the end of the term
| could put my hat on and come home
like a gentleman. Now on account
of the way the runaways have con-
Quoted themselves before the people of
the state, l fear it will be necessary
to have a well oiled counting machine
IN tot 70 no oil n
to win in the next state election. We
Memphis and J. Price for East Ten
nessee in order to balance the mach
inc so it will work good. / see now
that we are going to have the sinews |
Of war in the next campaign. l aim
to order my whisky from Memphis if |
my mind don't change for the next
altho' the express will be
a little high and have to wait two
days to get it.
l see now the way the battle is being
pitched that the slogan in the next
will be to proselite all the
boot leggers and whisky soaks. By
this means we will be able to make
sure of victory and return as many of
Alabama refugees to Nashville as is
within our power.
Well, boys, excuse ME for fear l loom
off and plunge into politics over my
head can't keep from having lit
tie fun once in while over the states
politics. You must not get offended in
The least for me and you will agree by
and by, so for fear get fired up the
country little | will shut off this part
Of my argument l would feel awful
sad to hear that the good editor had
sacked me deep away down in the
waste basket, so will say that my
people are laying by their crops, peace
and harmony prevails throughout my
and nothing of disturb
ing nature has happened since last
week, so good bye, Louise Jane, the
Did family boss is saddled up and will
never die.
