To Begin Revival.

Next Saturday night we will begin
a protracted meeting at Owen Chapel,
which meeting, we hope, may result
in revival of religion. Sequatchie
mas long been in need of genuine re-
vival of 1.-THE old time religion.
Now let us cooperate with God and
we can have it. Let all the people ar
range to attend the services that we
may get good out of them. Let every
sinner seriously think upon his ways
and he will easily see that change
will make his life more worth while.
Rev. E. NJ. Richie of East Chatta-
nooga, will do the preaching. Broth
er Richey is young man and good
preacher. We also expect to have
Bro. Osborne with us in the meeting.
Hoping that we may have a good
meeting and be instrumental in saw
ing souls and thereby glorifiing God,
| am very truly,

0CRAT BURNED
Jasper Loses Its Printing Of
flee by Fire Sunday Morn
ing at 2 O'Clock.

Jasper, Tenn, May t0.-The plant
of the Jasper Statesman Democrat, one
of the Oldest weekly newspapers in
Tennessee, was destroyed by fire about
9 o'clock this morning. The people of
the town we're awakened blythe ring
ing of church bells and the firing of
guns and rushed to the scene but
were unable to save the building or
its contents, The loss was estimated
at about 50, 500 with 81, 900 insur-
ance. The origin of the fire is un-
known, but officers are investigating
the report that drunken men were
seen near the place about midnight.
The Statesman Democrat, which it
is said will be reestablished, is the
property of John and Ernest Wright,
and T. A. Havron, of Tullahoma. 1t
was first known as the Sequatchie Val
ley Herald, later being named the Ma
rion County Democrat; the States
man, and finally the Statesman Demo-
crat. Under the management of the
present proplietors, it has come to be
popular throughout the valley.
The editors would have issued about
the twentieth of this month a large
booster edition of the Statesman Dem
ocrat, on which large amount of
money and time already had been ex-
pended.
