Gov. Hooper, of Tenn, has issued
an order that state convicts shall be
dressed in gray in the future. The
order has raised vigorous protest
from Ex-Confederates and the U. d.
C's. of the state. Gov, Hooper is a
republican and these societies
claim that the orderswas aimed as
a slur to the lost cause.

Were we good we should be
beautiful. We all feel this, There
are plain features so charming with
the sparkle of good humor, that we
love them, There are blemished
faces so sweet that they are pleas
anter to look upon than the most
perfect After all 1t is in the ex-
preston that the actual charm lies,
So that we're some one to promise
the secret Of beauty for twenty-five
cents and a postpaid envelope, he
would scarcely be an impostor
should he return the golden rule
with instructions to learn and prac-
tice 1t. II we only could do this
earnestly and truly for one genera
ton, the next might wonder wheth.
er It were not a fable that such a
thing as ugliness was ever known
upon earth. Chronicle.

ty several years ago and this year
the Congressional bee got into his
bonnet again, but Paul p. Prosser
an able young Howard County at

too would make a good congress-
man. Prosser and Hall knowing
full well that Howard County
should present only one man for the
position decided to let the people
decide at a primary election The
primary was held on Feb 10 and
we are pleased to say that Howard
County Democrats endorsed Mr..
Prosser Riley could not fool all
people all the time and AS the How
ard County people had heard some
thing about his previous Congress
sional record and did not want to
be misrepresented they endorsed
Mr.. Prosser He is said to be re-
liable, honorable, honest man, a
