1t is war talk now. Several of our
boys would like to go. Boys, war
means kill or be killed. Some Of our
ex-Confederates seem to catch the spir-
it.

writing.

town, was arrested and had trial yes
terday. April 81, on first degree
murder charge She came clear.
Uncle Geo. Nunley is in very poor
health and has been for quite while.
Some gardening going on mp here.
If it won't stir up the ire of a few
touch me pots I'll give little
prognostics on the election. First, Eli
Handy is certainly in the lead for
sheriff, while Jas. Reeves has gained
but is still rated second best Cline is
only third. W, w. Christian will
give j. G. Henly close race for trus-
tee and may defeat him. It all de.
nends on Christian being able to hold
his vote of two years ago for circuit
court clerk. Eek Campbell is the lead
ing candidate with Walter Woodlee
second best. The others are not in it
for county court clerk. Shelton leads
the field, but has lost in the last two
weeks considerably. For register I'm
Gle Mark Walker and Mr.. Geo. Boyd
is in the lead at this time. This is
close race. My notion is I've named
the strongest men for the different
offices, the ones | thought were the
strongest | find are not. Some had
just as we'll quit. The socialists are
making no Efforts to put out candi
dates, and will not 10 SO. The send
ing around liquor and lot of false
hoods to beat the socialist candidates
is all out of order this time. l heard
fellow say in one of the barber
shops that he would vote for Handy
and that be wouldn't stand for any
more prejudice to influence him any
more. From the best information /
can gather, our miners and working
men don't consider they.'are under OBJ
legations to anyone and have paid val
ne received to all. The rings and
cliques will have to go without a
doubt. Ringism is very unpopular
just now.
Geo. Dent is very sick.
We are expecting some sensational
developments concerning the death
and burial of child in Lankfordtown.
It's birth and burial was secret and
rather peculiar.
Mrs. Berry, one of our old land
marks, died on oath.
Mrs. Bobo, the widow of Sam Bobo,
is very sick and not expected to live.
Morgan johnson has fine girl at his
house, the first one.
Lee Crick' wife, formerly of Tracy
City, died in Huntsville, Ala, April

One of our Tracy.City boys, J. L.

Well, Mr.. Jas. W. Morrison, defend
your family, but do it in gentle
manly way. Blood is thicker than
water. Let the socialists alone. am
going, south and may not see the News
ior sometime. SO it is useless to refer
10 e..for quite while. In the mean
lime I hope all who object to social
ism will let personal character alone
md give the public reason why they
object to it. Not one of you but has
about as much smut as anyone, else,
out that amounts to nothing. Why do
you oppose socialism is the point.
Some mighty fine people are studying
the subject all over this world. Peo-
pie who can't give reason for oppos-
ng thing are the ones who rush into
,rint and proceed to Witty. Don't
make an ass of yourselves. We try to
;ell why we are socialists, and also
10 state our objections to the republi-
IAN party. Well, am not going to pay
my further attention to persons who
ant give a reason.
Uncle Tom.
