A WONDERFUL ANTIsEPTIC

Germs and infection aggravate all
ments and retard healing. Stop that
infection at once. Kill the germs
and get rid of the poisons. For this
purpose a single application of
Sloan's Liniment not only kills the
pain but destroys the germs. This
Ineutralizes infection and gives nature
assistance by overcoming congestion
and gives chance for the free and
normal flow of the blood.
Sloan's Liniment is an emergency
doctor and should be kept constantly
on hand. 25c, soc. The S1.OO size
contains six times as much as the CSC.

hyle NJ. Ming, Il daughter, 10 cree
monuments over the graves of hei
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Brownlow
Lately an article in the press has APP
peared from which we make the fol.
lowing quotations:
Mrs. Kyle NJ. King, daughter oi
Col and Mrs. Brownlow, has perfect
ed arrangements for the erection of a
$4,000 shaft as tribute to her father
and mother. 1t will be in form of a
quadrangular spire, standing more
than tEirty-two feet high when erect
ed. The base will enclose a space
fifteen by fifteen feet, and will be
surrounded by granite coping eight
inches wide, with four corner posts,
ten by ten inches. The monument is
being built by the Tennessee Marble
works at Knoxville, and is made
from the famous Wilsboro blue gran
lite.
The unwilling will occur early in
October, with appropriate dedicatory
exercises, details of which will be
formulated later.
Col. Brownlow was born in Abing-
don, Va, March o. 1851. Thrown
upon his own resources at the age of
10, due to the death of his father, he
became, successfully telegraph mes
senger boy, apprentice to a timer
locomotive engineer, reporter, editor,
and finally representative of the first
congressional district of Tennessee
for fourteen years. He was delegate
to the republican national convention
in 1880, 1896 and 1900; to the nation
.al committee in 1884 and 1904; mem
Der of the national executive commit
tee from Tennessee in 1884, 1895,
1900 and 1904; was elected mayor of
Jonesboro in 1881, and, at his death,
was a member of the board of man
ayers of the National Soldiers home
in Tennessee. He was first elected
representative to congress from the
first congressional district of Ten
nessee in 1896, and remained in con-
gress for foqrCee nyears, or until his
death.
His congressional record is an en-
viable one, in that he surpassed all
records in accomplishments for his
people. The total appropriations Sc
cured by him for hsi district in ten
years practically doubled those Sc
cured by the entire state in the 100
years previous; the appropriations
through his efforts being $2,797. 900;
and these for the state for 100 years
prior being $i,G42.229. Some of the
most notable results OF his work are:
The establishment of rural free deIiv-
cry in the district, Washington coun- |
ty being the first county in the Uni.
ted States to have such service. and
the district appropriations amounting
to nearly 100000 annually; postof-
flee buildings and increased service
at johnson City, Bristol and other
points; establishment of federal
court at Greeneville; founding the
Park movement: inaug.
urating the national good roads idea
of the National Soldiers
home at Johnson City, at a cost of
and many other works too
to. itemize.
While the present generation needs
no reminder of the memory of Colo
1el Brownlow and of his achieve
nents, yet the shaft to be erected by
MS daughter becomes another ma
Iional monument and an index to the
most progressive page in the history
Of East Tennessee and of the smith

PRISON TRUSTEE "DICK MAT
THEWS AT OUR BARBECUE.

Hon. P. E. Matthews, of Lafayette
county, candidate to succeed himself
as Trustee of the State Penitentiary,
was among his many friends at our
big barbecue last week. He is now
filling out the unexpired term of the
Hon. Leroy Taylor, resigned, and has
held this Office about two years. By
diligent attention to his duties he has
become familiar with them and hence
will make more efficient trustee than
if he had no experience. He is prac-
tical business man and has experience
in farming and cotton buying.
He has the confidence of his home
people as evidenced by the fact that
they have elected him sheriff for twelve
years and one term as Mayor of Ok
ford, his home town.
His record on the Board of Trustees
of the State Penitentiary has demon
strated the fact that he is the right
man in the right place. He has render
ed great service to the State, as part
of the management, in raising the
standard of the treatment of the con-
victs and is bringing the State farms
up to the highest condition of efficiency
in their history.
