reunion on July and 4. We have the
old Confederate gray uniforms
The A. J. Harris Chapter of the D,
U. G. V. are busy preparing to send
the boys In the Soldiers home to Chat
tanooga in May. Glen Hickman has
kind of offended the Daughters. | wish
Hickman would attend to his own bus
mess and let the Daughters alone. l
told my little kinswoman, Lena Wiggs
for them to pay no attention to what
Hickman says, but go ahead and raise
the money and send every old boy to
Chattanooga they could. | believe in
encouraging the Daughters and l hope
the John W Thomas and the Kirby
Smith Chapters of this mountain, will
get a move on themselves and give
some entertainments to help Troop A

rugged route. Bootlr gging, gambling,
laSdness, breaking into houses and
robbing the postoffice is becoming very
common and no one to blame but the
people and the officers. Well. am not

in telling it If keeping things secret
is good plan to catch thieves. it is a
failure here. don't know what has
come over our people. It seems the
so-called better element hasn't any
judgement about what kind of man
il takes to make an officer. Now, I'll
tell you Miss Mamie kind of a fell

l send the editors a whole armful of
compliments aud bouquets for the ar

man Democrats criticism reminds me
of what l once heard cousin of mine
say. He was a doctor and lived in
Shelbyville, Tenn He and his fami-

he moved his membership to one of
the churches in Nashville, and lowed
that the "tirst five books of the Bible

about all the rest. We
take mp, for instance, the idea being

with impunity. Enough on
this. endorse the News article.
Robbery, lewdness, drunkenness and
bootlegging is not stopped yet, from
all reports.
J. A. Goforth has gone to work
again, having recovered from his sick
ness
Several have gone to Nashville as
witnesses in the Bolton case.
Our people are expecting a revenue

men are spoken Of and recommended

We expect one of our at
