HIS LAST SERMON
Rev. Johnson breaches Fine Ser
mon to Large Crowd

Rev. George l.. johnson, who,
for number of years has been
pastor of the First Presbyterian
church of Huntingdon, preached
his farewell sermon last Sunday
night. He had Il packed house.
The Baptist dismissed their congre-
cation and attended this service,
and all the churches we're well rep
resented. The sermon was, per-
haps, the best Bro johnson has
ever delivered here. 1t was in
every particular a splendid effort,
and the minister had a most SYM
pathetic and appreciatiye audience
to speak to. Every body was
charmed with the sermon.
An interesting feature Of the
sermon was the singing Of a Mr..
Palmer, travelling man. who
spent Sunday in Huntingdon. He
sang two solos and assisted the
choir in other songs, all of which
were very much enjoyed.
At the close of the sermon w.
f. Jones, one Of the elders, pre-
scented a beautiful loving cup to
Rev. and Mrs, George L. johnson
from the Ladies Aid Society. The
gift was an entire surprise and was
an appropriate expression of love
and esteem. Rev. johnson resigned
some weeks AGO to accept the pas
torate of the Mckenzie church.
Bro. johnson and his most ex-
cellent wife are held in the very
highest esteem by our entire peo-
pie, and we regret very much to
give them up. The Mckenzie
congregation is to be congratulated.

miles west Of this city, was pain
fully hurt in an accident at this
place late Tuesday afternoon of last
week. Mrs. Pratt and Mrs. John
Singleton were in town shopping.

horse became frightened and made
short turn, throwing Mrs. Pratt
out. Her side struck one of the
wheels Of the vehicle. The horse
was caught by James Walker and
Mrs. Pratt was carried to the home
of Postmaster w. G. Quinn, where
she is receiving medical attention.
The nature of her injury is not
known, but she suffered intensely.

GOOD ROADS
Representative Gilbert Talks
About Road Legislation

Representative Gilbert has given
out an interview concerning the
work done by the recent legisla-
ture on the good roads question.
The bill creating the highway de-
partment was vetoed by Governor
Hooper, According to Mr.. Gil
bert this bill was not what the
most earnest good roads people
wanted, but they regretted that it
was not allowed to become law.
Another bill which passed was
one authorizing county courts to
call an election for the purpose Of
voting on bond issues for road and
bridge construction and mainten-
ance This is a general enabling
act and will prevent special act
each time a county wants to vote
bonds. Under the provisions OF
this act at any session of the county
court an election can be ordered
and the people say whether they
desire an issuance of bonds for the
building Of roads, the building Of
bridges or for the maintenance Of
either. In the future this will
obviate the necessity If passing a
arge number of local road bond
ills.
Another good bill passed at
this session was the one creating
road districts and enabling the
people in that particular district
to vote bonds for road purposes.
These districts are limited to an
area not exceeding twelve miles
square and take in sections Of more
than one county if desired. There
are times when certain sections Of
a county desire to improve the
roads, but when a vote is left to
the entire county, there are sec
tions which will vote almost solidly
against the proposition. Under
the provision of this road district
act those sections which are indif-
ferent to the cause of road improve
ment can be left to mud roads and
the remainder Of the county can
progress BY issuing bonds and
building roads. There is a num-
Der Of counties in Tennessee which
have more than once voted down
bond issue for roads, which can
now lay out certain sections Of the
county into districts and hold elec-
tions for road purposes.

Negro Gets Job

says: William I. Scott, the only
negro ever nominated for president

constituted national delegate con-
yention, representing thlrty-seven
states in the Union, and at present
a candidate for minister to the ne
gro republic of Hayti, was recently
placed on the house payroll as a
janitor.
The national liberty party, with
400 delegates, met in St. Louis in
1904 and nominated Scott for pres
ident over three other negroes, j.

SINS ATTACKED
4 Washington Banker Strikes
Him From Behind

Congressman Sims, while stand
ing in a park in Washington last
Friday, was attacked by Banker
Charles 9. Glover, because Of
some remarks Mr.. Sims had made
about him on the floor of the house.
There were conflicting reports
about the details of the affair, but
Mr.. Glover struck the congress
man once and perhaps twice.
Mr.. Sims made the speech in
February and brought out some
exposures that prevented Mr..
Glover, who is a banker anil real
estate dealer, from unloading some
real estate on the city Of ashing-
ton at exorbitant figures. Glover
nursed his resentment nearly three
months before he attempted to sat
isfy it by engaging Mr.. Sims in an
alteration.
The Tennessean and Americans
Washington correspondent states
that Judge Sims proved his charge
against Glover BY records and doc
uments, demonstrating without
qualification that Glover had will
fully and deliberately uttered false
under oath regarding
the real estate he tried to unload
on the goversment, and that Glover
made no reply to the charge.
Glover'S outbreak is attributed to
the fact that he has been shorn Of
his power as political boss Of the
national capital by the distinguished
and worthy congressman from
Tennessee.
Congress has taken the matter
up and Mr.. Glover will very likely
be punished for his british act.
The constitution protects members
from being held accountable for
utterances name on the floor of the
house.
