Third District.

Special 10 the M7gy.
There are four candidates slated *
nj up here for the board of eduea.
tion. Gieen P. Layne, democrat; w.
L. Barber. independent; E. H. Bark.
er, republican, and a dark horse tt
trot ont. His name is to be withheld
from publication at present The reas-
on wa fail to understand. It seems tc
me that it is rather early to stir W
this public school question. as it is a
long time until election. It is of little
or no Importance to the east side of Sc
q~uachee river. i fear this school cues
ton is likely to go into county politics
and affect the candidates in general IL
either should attempt to connect him
self with either faction.
@. H. Holloway, ESQ.,, has just re-
turned from Birmingham, Ala, and
reports to me that be was successful
in finding the party that he and Attor-
ney Stewart, of Jasper, expected to
meet and take his deposition in a land
suit pending in the Chancery Court.
He stated that be and Holloway Bros.
were the plaintiffs and got a 17-sheet
deposition, which he thinks will win
his suit. After the official work was
completed DIR. Seay's brother at Bir-
mingham landed him and Attorney
Stewart in a fine automobile and car
ried them over the business and prin-
cipal sections of the city of Birming-
ham at q speed of so miles an hour.
and the Squire said that DIR. Seay
was the fastest automobile driver in
the south, and that it was a perfect
show to view the city Of Birmingham.

ly all the trees nicely trimmed up, and
there were beautiful streets graded all
over the city, right into the woods,
and was a picture to behold. DIR. Seay's
Office covered half al acre of ground
and was the best finished and most
completely furnished medical institu-
tion he aver saw. Owing to the
Squire being tired to a great extent all
cases in the court were passed over un-
til next week. There are several cas-
es to come up of a sensational nature
which will be fought to a finish.
Sorry to note the sad condition of
Mrs. Nancy White, who is in a dan
gerous condition with cancer of the
face. 1t is impossible for her to last
but a few more months. She is the
mother of R. j. and Rev. j. L.
White, of Tatesville, The latter is the
and a prominent merchant
at that place, She Is also the mother
Of the Rev. @. W. White and w. Ell.
attorney, of Whitwell. Tenn,
and of the Rev. A. w. White, who
died a few years ago, whom the peo-
pie so we'll remember. He debated
i've days in the hall at Whitwell with
Mr.. johnson, an able divine of the
faith in which the people of
ibis part Of the county gave Rev.
White the decision of honor, which
will be remembered by many for years
10 come.
A drunken man staggered up against
ne the other day and said l had play
ID thunder and had joined the compa-
~ in a political fight over the divid-
ng issue on the school question. Hon.
!, w. Norwood and other officials of
he 7. @. l. Co., said tell the gentle
nan that If | had done 80 | was ac-
epted and wal in good company, and
vas able to back up any issue they de-
ired me to make. I hope this little
paragraph will set the gentleman at
ase. The officials of the company are
Ugh toned gentlemen in every respect
nd any business they require of me
m more than ready to do. It ia not
ny will or pleasure to hold any ill
will or hatled against any company or
ny private individual. The battle
as been fought and the war is over
nd peace is declared and the white |
is hoisted, and let peace and har- ,
lony prevail between the two contest
ng parties of the past. ]
/. r. Jordan and f. M. Powell have
the Joe Eta Arledge property :
q the lower end of town, and will
onduct a cider and confectionery s
tand and pool room combined. The
Ease extends to Dec. 81. 1912. 4
There will soon be five beer stands
nd four churches, and l fear the bull
ill jump out and the old family boss
ill get loose and u away, and the a
evil will get full sway and have full :
over the town. :
There is said to have been an all =
round pitched battle over the ridge :
night with fist and skull per- I
,rmance. Only a few smashed noses =
nd a few black eyes with no insur- a
nee carried on the business.
DR.. N. B Moore is just laughing :
imself almost to death over the polit-
situation in the End district,
atching the factions mix up and
Ingle, and one would be surprised to
atch each party candidate get Jealous
other political leaders and fear
leir movements and ask a number of
1~estions daily as to how SO and so
ands. Representative.
