where a man can make a little net
cash wei and above his daily earn
ings, and feed his family and work
stock, don't hesitate to announce the
fact in the News columns at once and
let your friends read about that glori-
Gus spot.
l have a few fellows up here who
always seemed to me a little crazy.
They have been whispering it around
here that the end of time is now at
hand. They have about got some of
my neighbours minds confused and
bumfuzzled over their prophecy Sup
pose they are correct my ark wouldn't
be worth the timber it is built out of
to me, and again, suppose, that pas
sage of Scripture reads thus, tnat 1t
takes the ignorant to confound the
wise, l will openly confess that the
boat has completely left me aid gone
on.
No country in all it's wars and bat
ties has eve completely swept the pro-
ducts of the country than the present
panic caused by great floods, n right
on top of the other, until all In al! Is
about consumed and gone The ques-
tion naturally presents itself, II you
fail to make a crop what will you DO"
Is there room on public works and in
the mines for ALL Starvation and de-
struction stands as a head light in
front of you, staring you in the face.
Can you see the signal' Can you hg-
ure on corr at SOC per bushel and meat
at six cents per pound next year, II
not, now is the time to begin to lower
the prices and do a little head work,
and you will help remedy the cause,
and step over last of all to the flag and
cast your elective franchise for n
Theodore Roosevelt for President Of
the nation, and perhaps then the end
of time spoken by these prophets up
here is not at hand, and the country
at large may be saven after all.
This darned .trickery work in one
state by one element of the republican
party has paralized the republican
party in Tennessee and the only thing
bottom and Tennessee will have a
democratic governor next time. Date
this paragraph, cut it out if you de-
sire, and keep it for reference, and
see if l haven't foretold the truth.
Bill Ross and Jas. Mosier had the
hardest fight here one day last week,
right on the streets ever fought in
Whitwell. Officer Hudson and Van
hooser parted them. Each got bunged
up very badly and the blood runs high.
Young Ross at present is said to be ia
king sides with his father and more
trouble is expected of a serious nature.
Ross is reported as having one should
er dislocated. These parties are both
prominent and we are very sorry in
deed this happened. AS to the cause
of the trouble we failed to get it. 1t
was a fist and skull fight. The final
termination of this affray is generally
believed to be not yet at an end, but l
hope peace Will be restored and moth
ing more of a serious nature will &C.
cur between them.
The richest thing l ever read for
many years, is the Hon. Jno. W.
Kern's speech before the United
States senate on the 81 a day pension
bill to the Union soldiers, who saved
the union. Senator Kern is a demo-
GRAFT and every democrat and republi-
can of the blue and the gray should
pull off their hat and bow their heads
in honor of such a noble and impair
tial statesman as John W. Kern, of
Indiana. The power of his speech be-
fore the senate on such an important
question as the 81 a day pension bill to
aid the old soldiers of our nation in
their declining years will long be re-
by them. 1t seems to me
that no member of the United States
Senate, after hearing Senator Kern's
address in defence and on behalf of
the pensioners and old soldiers, if be
had a speck of human respect or sym
patby he undoubtedly would not vote
against such an important necessity as
the 81 a day pension bill. | wish Con-
gress and the Senate was full to the
brim with such men as Congressman
Moon and Senator Kern. There would
always be something doing worth not
ing and to be remembered by the poor
old soldiers and dear old mothers and
the widows of our nation. l shout
and clap my hands and hollow amen
to Tennessee and Indiana for produc-
ing such men as Kern and Moon.
We had a very serious accident Fri
day in the mines. Clint Colston, 70
Of John Colston, happened to fall
asleep in the entry, and the motor car
along and caught him between
he track and the side entry, and broke
lis COllaT UOU6 anu u0 dlSO IcColfOu
some injuries about the head. He was
brought to his home in the valley and
lis wounds were dressed by Drs. Seay
and McNabb, and is resting fairly we'll.
A child of Harry Mccoy died sud
lenly this week from the whooping
1t had a very severe attack of
coughing, and lost it's breath while
,nder the strain of coughing, and g v
II regained it again. The doctor said
{ coughed so hard it burst a blood
,essel and perhaps died from strangu-
alton.
George Condra, who sustained a
leg some time ago. is up on
again, but is getting along
,ery slowly. We are very sorry in
Iced to see George in such a bad con
lition as he is in, and it would be our
luty to grant him any favor he want
ID.
The justice of the peace court was
ull to the brim with law suits Satur-
almost too numerous to mention.
Hon. John T. Raulston, from So.
'ittsburg, was up as one of the lead
ng attorneys for the NJ, @. and st.
r. R. Co., in a damage suit filed
y W. A. Hartman for the company.
he case was over the killing of a COW.
