The KuKlux.

The following is a SPECIAL from
Pulaski to the Nashville Banner
OF Feb. 30:
GAS has been correctly said,
the death of John Booker Ken
nedy at Lawrenceburg last week
removed the last of the six origi-
nal organizers Of the once dread
ell Kuklux Khan, which did so
much to preserve order and pro-
tect life aud property in the days
of reconstruction following the
civil war. Many former members
of the Kuklux Khan are yet liv
ing, and interest in that CHASTITY
secret order will continue so long
as they and Southern history
exist.
sit was on the night Of Dec.
25, 1865, that John B. Kennedy,
J. r. Grove, Richard r, Reed,
Frank O. McCord, John @. Les
ter and Calvin Jones organized
the Ku-KIux Khan in the law of
fee of the latter's father, Judge
Thomas M. Jones. Its orgsniza-
ton was an accident; its purpose
a joke, but when it was discov-
cred that its moral effect, coupled
with its mystery, was wholesome
and beneficial, it assumed a
definite form with definite
purpose, and did great good, If
the Ku-Klux ever resorted to ex-
treme measures it was because
extreme measures were deemed
necessary. Theirs was mission
of protection and peace.
"The six young men before
mentioned had been soldiers in
the Confederate army. Each
was a business or professional
man, and after business hours
would meet with first one and
another of the sextette to re-
count war stories and discuss
current news and events. Each
was a musician, and this accom-.
pjishment added to their posi-
bilities for enjoyment.
"The kuklux were maligned
at times and were charged with
deeds of violence they never
committed Mr.. Kennedy said {:
~ never knew a genuine KQklux
to be guilty OF an act or deed

Immediately after the election
of Hon. w. f. Webb, of Bell
Buckle, to the short serm in the
United States Senate by the Ten
nessee legislature, there was up
for consideration by Congress
what was known as the "Wehb"
bill, aimed at illicit liquor traffic
between states. Now some Of
our "state-widest" friends have
been thinking that Senator Webb
was political genius to intro
duce and have such a measure
set as a SPECIAL order so soon
after breaking into that august
body, and no doubt it gave them
much pleasure to think that,
and fearing that others might
be misled, we take the liberty to
inform our readers that the au-
thor of the "Webb" bill is Con-
gresham Edwin Y, Webb of
North Carolina, and that Senator
Webb had nothing to do with the
measure except TO say 81" on
viva voce vote in the Senate
when the bill was passed.

Serving an Invalid.

When one is sick, the appetite
is usually tickle and Whimsical,
and slovenly serving of the
meal will sometimes so turn the
stomach that it is impossible to
get the sick one to eat. For the
appetite which needs coaxing,
always uss the prettleSt, cleanest
napery and dishes YOU have
Serve the food in small quaint
ties, daintily, even if another
helping is called for. 1t is the
the dainty touches that attract
the attention and awaken the ap-
petite of the fni,ky invalid,
rather than the quantity and
richness of the food.

men and killed. The act was

Moose Circus Opens This Afternoon at p. M., at Circus Grounds on Central Avenue, Near High
 School.

For several days Darwin c. Hawn and staff of publicity promoters fer the ]. II. Eschman Circus have been in the city arranging for the appear ance of the shows they represent for December 2 4and 9, under the aus pices of the local lodge of Moose and their annual Christmas festivities
 Every little detail that will go to- wards adding to the comfort of their patrons has been carefully looked aft CT and should the weather be cold or disagreeable, large salamanders will be installed beneath the circus tents to provide artificial heat so that lt will be comfortable for the ladies and children who wish to attend the cir GUS.
 Judging from the enormous ad- vance sale at the down town ticket office. there will be a large audience present at this afternoons matinee. when the initial performance will be given. There will also be another per formance tonight doors opening at and performance beginning prompt ly at 8, with another matinee and evening performance tomorrow.
 The circus performance consists of all the features that go to make up the oldtstyle one7ring country circus that travelled overland in the days of our forefathers' time. having the same old-fashioned talking clowns, with the little old tine whistles The kicking and unridable donlIeys, the Flying Fowler troop of aerialists, Prof. York and his celebrated Arabian pony group, the dog and monkey circus, contortionists. acrobats, and the eli max of all elephant acts now present ed to the public.
 This circus differs from nearly lll the others in the fact that it gives all it advertises and many acts that are held in reserve. There will be the several sideshows and free attractions that are carried with all circus shows and all those attending will receive the utmost courtesy and attention | The ladies are cordially invited to bring the children to the matinee and | give them a novel Christmas treat | that is very unusual for the Santa | Claus season.
 Tickets for the Moose circus are on sale at the Marquette Hotel in | the down town district, on Central | avenue.

LYMAN H. HOWE.

With the approaching completion of the Panama Canal, the attention of the entire world is focused on this greatest engineering feat in history Therefore Lyman H. Howe has chosen wisely in making this the big feature of his new program, to be presented at the Auditorium on Monday. Decem. Der 29
 A well-known writer describes the canal briefly thus: "The whole thing is stupendous, prodigious, over whelming" And this is exactly the impression imparted most viyidly on the mind of every spectator of Mir. Hcwe's reproduction. Wherever world history is making, wherever world interest centers, no matter where, Mir Howe's photographers seem to always "get there" And what is more, they usually "come back" with reproductions on their films which are easily the peer of all others.
 Even while these lines are being written, his men are carrying their motion cameras even further aield, and are seeking new worlds to con quer. Fast mail steamers bring back their precious negatives and skilled artists in their studios develop them into those film classics which distin- suish Mir Howe's travel festival from other exhibitions.
 The whole world is its stage. WheF- ever history is being reconstructed, the world remodeled, and the world S geography revised, Mr Howe can be depended upon for reproducing it ill a manner that is graphic beyond de- scription. Without question it must cost Mir. Howe vast sums to produce each recurring program. but appar- ently he hesitates at no expenditure and that is the reason his productions constitute today more than ever, the real aristocracy of filmdon. He may well be termed the king of all eXhibi- tors. because his films are truly regal. He holds the premier position because he merits it.
