Carroll County democrat. (Huntingdon, Tenn.) 188?-1971, 1913-03-28
LACK OF APPRECIATION

There is not an enterprise in
Huntingdon that spends as much
money, time and hard labor for
the good Of tie town and com
munity as the Carroll County Dem
ocrat This Is 4 bold assertion,
but it can be proven, and we defy
any enterprise to measure up with
US along this line.
The Democrat has stood for
every public enterprise. 1t has
stood for every improvement,
whether private Or public. The
waterworls, electric lights, gray
efed streets, concrete walks, the
public parks, all had i friend ia
the Democrat, and it was largely
through its efforts these improve
ments were made possible. Not
IN a single instance did the Demo-
crat wait to see how the masses
stood, but was among the first few
who came out boldly for these
public utilities.
The schools Of the county and
town, the churches, every moral
issue presented, in fact, all ques-
tions for the educational advace-
ment Or the moral uplift Of the
people have found inthe Democrat
an advocate Of no small conse-
quence. No private enterprise
started that did not get glad hand
and hearty welcome from the Dem
ocrat. The Democrat has stood
for progress, has fought for adj
vancement, has been the friend Of
the home, the town and the com
munite, and has given the people
the news of the county.
The Democrat has been All along
and is now appreciated by a large
number of friends, and this article
is not written because there is any
falling off in this particular. The
paper has more subscribers row
than it ever had at any time in its
history and they ere of the very
best people in the county. There
are those, however, who care moth
ing for the paper only as they can
use it. They look upon it as a
pack horse to do their bidding.
They use its columns with as little
expression Of appreciation as if it
we're a door mat upon which to
wipe their feet. They do not seem
to realize that every type set cost
something and if the paper pub
fishes matter free, it is done for the
public good, and is at best entitled
to some evidence ofappreciaticn.

more disgraceful all the time. The
fusionists in the house have lost
control and the regulars are doing
thing with high hand. It is a
great pity that the election in No
vember did not give one side or
the other more decisive majority.

Some people think Wilson is not
turning the rascals out as fast as lie
should. The president is moving
with caution and does not want to
make many mistakes.

many and Switzerland, on which,
speaking in German on Christian
Science, he was greeted everywhere
by large audiences. Col. William f..
Fell of Leeds, England, and others de
scribed the progress and growth of
Christian Science in the British Isles.
The summary of the report of the
board of lectureship showed hat in
the past year lectures given by this
board had been attended by more than
$4,000 persons, an increase Of 100000
over the number the previous year.
A report from Sweden reviewed
the recent victory gained by the
Christian Scientists of that country
in securing official recognition of the
church. This was granted by the
king, to whom appeal was made after
several unsuccessful attempts to gaia
legal recognition from the ministers
of the state church.
The meeting concluded with the
singing of the doxology.

will be swindled, as nearly half the

According to the records and esti-

the Democratic side the denomination
Of Ex-Governor Plaisted is suggested
