JUNGLE TOMS LETTER:

Now that the election is over be
lieve ell good ppOVle Of every shade oil
politics should 10 their best TO make
the Wilson administr, tion a success,
and the regular Tennessee democracy
ought to DO all they can to make the
/ Hooper administration of Tennessee d
success also. They can never regain
power by unfolding the liquor ele-
ment. Grundy county used TO vote
/ 800 democratic votes, but it is hard
/ for her to reach 800 votes now, AMI
| there is a reason for this condition of
| things, and that reason is liquor and
| nothing else. They managed to get
| control of the party and they are not
able to unite the people any more
| The people don't want the open saloon
and they fear to risk the regular dem
| ocrat party. Saloons have been tried
in Tracy City and they were a curse
beyond any noubt, and it was actually
dangerous for anyone to walk the
streets of the town, and further, no
woman was safe outside of her own
home after the sun went down. Tracy,
with her saloons aud police was a hell
on eaIth ami defy anyone to success
fully refute these charges. A party
that doesn't ropOse to protect the
women and children, deserves nothing
but defeat.
Grundy County is democratic as
much so as she ever was, but a lot of
whiskey heads, will never remember
the day when they can dictate how
men shall cast Their votes The clean
est and best men are not at the head
OF the democratic party in Grundy
County. Hence, not half of the demo
cratic vote is polled.
The pie hunters are likely to be
quite numerous next year and Judge
Moon will be beseiged by lot of men
who bitterly assaulted him because he
had the courage to stand by the old
soldiers and vote for them to have a
pension they could live on, not star
walton pension such as the Confederate
soldiers get, / certainly admire men
like Judge Moon and every old soldier
be he Federal or Confederate should
be his friend, regardless Of politics.
Well, | attended the Passion Play,
or the life of Christ, as it was portray
ed or delineated on canvass. 1t was
fine and was we'll worth the price of
admission.
was on Hobbs Hill Sunday at
Sunday school, Bro. McGovern has
been training the children how to
conduct themselves. He is doing
good work, aud hope the disorder
that has been so very prevalent will
be thing of the past, not only in the
Sunday school but in the church wor-
ship. Also, compliment you, Bro.
McGovern
l asked an old gentleman to go to
prayer meeting and said to him, eff
we can go to the picture show, looks
like we could go to meeting Yes"
said he, "but they have better order
at the show" and so they do People
do not care to go to church where they |
are annoyed by lot of hoodlums from |
the time they get in until they leave |
Some girls who pretend TO be very re- |
Iiglous, ought to leave their tongues |
1T home when they go to church or
anywhere else. They are disgusting.
The Myers Hill Sunday school is
for an entertainment to
'aise means for an Xmas tree.
Our sheriff is very much opposed to
light meetings, and so are lot of 9th
RS. Well, am not going to express
ny opinion in full, but will say if the
eaders can't have order and are too
owardly to ask the protection of the
aw, they ought to quit and not insult
Tod by lawless, hoodlum worship. l
avor law and order, both in church
md state, and every leader should be
arrest in maintaining order
Now, if you want to read "Uncle
rom's Letters" subscribe for the
Jews, and I'll tell you some more
bout what the widow said, and just
title of what the girl said
