W. H. White has gone over the riv-
er to visit DIR. j. A. Walker, who was
seriously hurt by being thrown from a
mule last week, and has been confined
to his bed several days. The injury is
said to be internal. Glad to report my
walk across the room to the phone and
conduct his business at the store with
his clerk, Mr.. Deakins,
Rev. j. l.. White was here today to
see his mother who is very low and
gradually growing worse. He leaves
tomorrow for Chattanooga to purchase
some merchandise. J. l.. White is
postmaster and merchant at Tatesville,
Tenn.
The next political contest to take
place will be by the democratic party
of our county, which will take place at
the court house at Jasper Saturday. A
good old hot time is expected, and they
have got so of late it looks impossible
for that party to agree and keep them
selves in line with the harmony plan.

is up to date and these certiorari and

There is written down in history of
a certain noted by occupation polite
ian, who bet his house and lot in the
town Of Whitwell that a certain candi-
date would get as many votes as Cam
trell and Harris both put together, and
that bet was covered and the reading
can see plainly the gentleman
lost. Now, if he has got a drop or
speck of honor or manhood about him

as per agreement, or otherwise there
is nothing whatever to him.
