SELLS IS ELATED OVER
SANDERS APPOINTMENT

Washington, April 9.-Representa-
tive Sells is highly elated over San
ders' appointment as senator and says
it should meet with entire satisfaction
at the hands of independent demo-
Gratis. Mr.. Sells expressed himtelf,
saying:
GAS for me, I am tickled to death
over it. l think it was the only thing
Gov. Hooper could have done. |
think ,he did right under the circum-
stances in appointing a republican.
/ think his action will strengthen him.
Usually there are number of posi-
bilities where there are men having
equal claim upon the honor, but not
so in this case. Assuming that Mr..
Sanders would accept it, there was
not another man in the state who
could afford to desire to ask for the
honor, for no man in the state has rem
dered such distinguished and able SER
vice, or longer service for his party
than has Mr.. Sanders.
81 think even the independent DEM
ocrats twill admit that the governor
did the right thing, and l believe the
action of the governor will be pleasing
to them, for no man in the state did
more for the fusion movement or made
more sacrifices for it than did Mr..
Sanders"
Mr.. Sells wired today his congrat-
ulations to Mr.. Sanders, and inquired
when he would leave for Washington.
The democrats in the house from
Tennessee, with scarcely an exception
look upon the Sanders selection an in
itiative for getting together in the
state of the two republican factions
which split couple of years ago, and
are strongly of the belief that there
was pretty solid line up for the big
battle next November when so much
will be at stake.
Senator Sanders will have to sit
over on the democratic side of the
chamber for there is no room on the
lepublican.side, the half to the left of
the center aisle looking out from the
vice. presidents chair. The last seat
on the republican side was taken by
Senrtor Catron, of New Mexico.

CHARITY BALL
AT COLONIAL

The charity ball given at the Coloni-
al hotel last Monday evening was one
of the most brilliant successes of the
season. The ball was given for the aid
of the Memorial hospital and reflects
much credit on the committee in
charge.
The grand march began at S.45, after
which the programs were distributed
and the dancing began. There were
sixteen numbers on the programs, but
about twice that number were played,
musicians being encoured again and
again. Fruit punch and sandwiches
were served in the parlors during the
evening.

OLD GUARD TROOP
HOLSTON IS BROKEN,

When death claimed the Rev. DR..
Frank Richardson, at his home at
Fountain City, Thursday, there was
removed from the scenes of this exis-
tence one of the most distinguished
men in HoIston Methodism. For fif-
ty-eight years in active service as a
minister, preaching in all sections of
the Holston conference, he spent three
years of his active work in this this
city, as the pastor of the State Street
Methodist church. He came here to
be pastor of the State street charge
just twenty-one years ago, having en-
tered upon the State street pastorate
in 1891. He served the church here
three years.
DR.. Richardson, who was 81 years Of
age entered the ministry at the age of
% years, after having been educated at
Emory and Henry college. He was
known throughout the conference as a
member of the memorable trio of old
guards of the conference, the personnel
of that trio being DR.. David Sullins, of
Cleveland; DR.. h. N. Price, of Norris
town, and DR.. Richardson. These
men were all educated at Emory and
Henry college, and each of them in
latter years was author of valuable
publications on the Methodism of the
h6lston conference, DR.. Price being
recognized as the historian of the con-
ference. DR.. Richardson's publication
was in the form of a book, the title of
which is-"Sunrise to Sunset. '-Her-

BUSINESS PROPOSITION.

Some time ago Col. Albert Shipley
offered reward OF 800 for the man
who made a brutal assault on Hon.
Adam Bowman at the Greeneville bear
dance. If that offer is still standing,
and if there is real desire to prosecute
and punish the miscreant, the Progress
can lay its hand on the man who has
boosted of the deed, and if he is con-
victed of the charge, so far as we are
concerned the reward may be turned
over to the orphanage at Greeneville.
Do you mean business, Col. Shipley?
Good citizens of all political creeds and
factions condemn the ruffian's act

Guineas as Watchers.

A good point about guineas is tina
they make good watch dog" Every
person who writes of these fowls men
tons this point, but a good thing will
bear repeating, in common with wild
birds, they are always on the lookour
for enemies, and quickly detect hawks
dogs, strange persons, etc, that ven
ture near. Their wild cries on such
occasions soon put the intruders to
rout, and also put all the fowls or
the place on their guard. If hawks
are numerous a few guineas in the
flock will prove of great help in pre-
venting their depredations.

" BOB" TAYLOR MEMORIAL.

The friends of the late Senator Robt.
l.. Taylor, in attendance on the final
obsequies of the lamented dead at
Knoxville, organized the nucleus for a
"Bob" Taylor memorial association,
the object of which is to provide, by
popular subscription, a monument to
the man who had done so much to add
to the sum of human happiness during
the days of his sojourn among men. 1t
is intended to commemorate in some
large and fitting way not only his con-
spicuous public services, but his poten-
tial influence upon the patriotism and
moral elevation of the people through
his matchless eloquence, his inimitable
good humor and genuine optimism
and his wholehearted devotion to all
that is best and truest in human socie-
ty. Bob" Taylor was a genuine pa
triot and loved his country and his flag
and every fibre of his being responded
to every demand of the pureSt Ameri-
canism. He was a philanthropist in
every significance of the word, and de-
voted his time, his large ability and a
large part of his means to doing good
to those about him. He built and
equipped more churches and school
houses, gave more of his talent to help.
ing confederate organizations that were
in need and in promoting charitable
institutions than any public man, per
haps, the state ever produced.
He occupied man places of high pub
lie trust, and died a comparatively poor
man. Honesty in private and public
conduct was characteristic that
marked him peculiarly for the admin.
istration and confidence of the people.
He carried about wherever he went the
sunshine of a great heart and as has
been said Of him, che smoothed cut
more wrinkles from the face of care
and sorrow than any man who ever
lived in Tennessee. He was an honor
and credit to the section that produc-
ed him, and he was never so proud as
when Boosting of the state of his birth
and the splendid race of people to
whom he owed the allegiance of his
greatest endeavors.
1t is not only fitting and proper but
should be the pleasure and pride of tine
people of the state to perpetuate his
memory and his unparalleled achieve
ments in q monument that will be
somehow commensurate with his vir-
tues and his love of his fellow men,
