In the church at Lexington Mrs.
Howard was dependable helper

a larger circulation than it ever had
before west of the Tennessee river
and perhaps a larger list than ever
before attained by a daily paper
published in Nashville.
Mrs. Tennessee is among the
youngest matrons Of Lexington and
the result Of her work in the recent
contest shows that she possesses a
winning" personality. She has
many friends who congratulate her
not SO much on her luck but on her
ability to 90 after athing and get it.
Mrs. Tennessee and her mother,
Mrs. G. A. Thompson, being in Nash

nessee and Mr.. Howard Pearson also
went to that city and all came back

the work done by Mrs. Tennessee in
the contest, 8,725855 votes we're
cast for her.

Samuel Howard, as Il e second wife
dressed or spoken Of, was married to
Of that well known citizen Of Hender-
son county, Dec. 7, 1870. With him
she lived as true helpmete, until
Nov. 7, 1905, when Mr.. Howard at
a ripe old age passed into the Great
Beyond and was buried at Beech
River.
For the past year or two Mrs. Ho-
ward has made her principal home
at Saltillo with her step-daughter,
Mrs. Bina Tarbet, and there at
about 7 o'clock, on the evening Of
Oct. Is, 1915. she breathed her last
and her soul, leaving its frail earth
ly tenement, winged its way to the
God who gave it, the God she had
faithfully served from the days Of
her early girlhood. Early in life
Miss Bette Hinkle joined the Pres
byterian church, but soon after her
marriage to Mr.. Howard she trans
ferred her membership to the Meth
|odist Episcopal church, South. in
which she found a happy religious
home and in which she lived the
remaining days Of her life.
In paying this tribute to Mrs. Ho-
ward | feel that ! cannot say too
much of the goodness Of her life and
character. Among even the best Of
women she was "one in a thousand"

During the recent campaign fol
the various offices to be filled from
President to Pictorial Representa-.
tive. everything pointed to harmony
and reunited party. so far as Dem
ocrats were concerned, except the
threat Of Regular Democrats to
knife Hon. B. A. Enloe, Railroad
commissioner and candidate for re-
election, and the whispered menace
against Congressman 7. w. Sims,
who has been as good a friend as
the farmer and other laboring men
ever had in the halls of Congress.
The hope to beat Mr.. Sims, if, indeed,
there ever way any hope, was oased
to a great extent on the fact that
National President Barrett, an al
legged Georgia Democrat. has been
procured" to come into the district
and try to make suckers out Of
enough Democratic farmers to al
low Lucien Rhodes to draw the con-
gressional salary for two years. Re-
CARELESS Of the result among the
candidates one certainty was estab-
lished SO plainly that the wayfaring
man though he might be all sorts
OF q fool, could not be mistaken
therein--that Barrett is not entitled
to the respect of either Democrat or
Republican. The Republicans have
used" the delectable President and
left him in a condition that all his
nerve will be required to look any
honest farmer--Republican or Dem
ocrat- in the face, for he has be-
trayed both the party, in which he
claims to believe, and the organize
ton which has honered him. As
Georgia has won great rep. as a
hanging state, Barrett ought to now
hunt good, strong, Georgia limb
and follow the example Of his most
notorious prototype, Judas Iscariot.

WINS AUTOMOBILE.

The close Of the Nashville Ten
nessean and American contest last
week showed that Mrs. Jack Hen
nessee, Of Lexington, had won a
1917 model Overland automobile.
Mrs. Tennessee worked hard to
win her prize and we congratulate
her on being the only West Tennes-
sean to win a Car in the contest. By
der efforts a large number Of sub
scriptions to the Tennessean and
Americans were placed in West Ten
nessee, which fact will give this d.
vision Of the State greater impor-
lance in the estimation Of that pa
per.
While Mrs. Tennessee was the
only West Tennessee winner Of a
car in the Nashville Tennessean and
American contest, there were other
West Tennessee ladies in the run
ming, five Of whom GOT over a mil
lion votes each, namely, Mrs. Mil
burn Gardner, Of Martin, over 1000,
900; Mrs. E. S. Mcclure, Of McKen-

eel Manley, Of Union City. over /,
100000; and Mrs. B. 0. Palmer, Of
Buena Vista, and Miss Annie L.
Prather, Of Woodland Mills, each
over a million. Several other West
Tennessee ladies received more than
a half million votes and others ran
into the hundreds Of thousands. The
combined work in West Tennessee
has doubtless given the Tennessean

Elizabeth, daughter Of George D
Hinkle, and Mrs. Lucy Hawkins
Hinkle, was born in Carrolton, KY,
Sept. 23, 1910. Her mother died
when Bette was four years old. af-

An event which will be Of no
small amount Of interest to her
many friends here, was the mar
riage Of Mrs. Clara Garner Of Writ,
Oklahoma, to Mr.. A. J. Metz, Of the
same place, on Oct. II, which fact
has just been received here. The
bride made her home in Lexington
and Henderson county for a long
time before going to Oklahoma,
and was known and appreciated
here by host Of friends who learn
ed to love her as only the best Of
people are able to share, and those
who know her best are quick to
say that Mr.. Metz is a lucky
groom, and that the bride he has
won is worthy Of the best, and that
she joined hands with one Of this
kind there is no doubt, as one who
has worked himself up to the stand
ing Of Mr., Metz among the people
Of his community, seldom reaches
such heights without metal with a
true ring embodied in his charac-
ter. Their friends may look for
them to visit here some time in the
near future, as they are expecting
to come, and will cone through the
country by automobile. We wish
them all the Joys and peace Of
matrimonial life, and none Of the
sorrows.

Her funeral service held in the
