CELEBRATES HIS
TOOTH BIRTHDAY

On Sunday Dec. 3rd Capt. Joseph
Holder who lives in Williams Cove,
this county, passed the one hundred tn
mile stone.
This distinguished and venerable pro-
duct of Franklin County was born Dec.
8, 1916, in Williams Cove, six miles
from Winchester His present home is
within one-half mile of his birthplace.
He married Susan NilliamsFeb. 2S, 1910.
Mrs. Holder died in 1895. The marri-
age was without issue.
Capt. Holderis Of the old line Isham
&. Harris brand OF democracy. He has
voted persistently and consistently the
democratic ticket and has cast his ballot
in but two polling places, Winchester
when the county all voted at the county
seat and in the Eleventh civil district
where he has been casting his ballot for
! the past sixty years.
Capt. Holder was in the Seminole war
OF 1887 With LaHderdale's battalion.
Sanders Farris of Franklin county was
his captain and Isaac Essill the first
lieutenant.
When the Cowan company in Col.
Peter Turney's First Tennessee regi-
ment was organized Holder was named
captain. The company was mustered
into the service before the state Sc
coded.
Capt Holder joined mberland
Lodge of Masons, June 6, 1857, and was
made a Royal Arch Mason in 1870.
He bears the unique distinction OF
being the only slave owner in the
United States. The negroes live with
him just as they did before the war, and
while not in servitude as the slaves Of
old, "Marse JOS" word is law with
Tony and Lucy, nan and wife, who are
always close at hand to attend to his
every want.
For several years the captain has
been saying he was going to give the
biggest dinner ever given in the county
when his Tooth birthday rolled around.
Sunday he made good. Hundreds Of
neigh bors and friends thronged the
place and the verdict was unanimous
that the dinner was the biggest and the
time the best that the oldest inhabit-
ant had ever Witnessed. The tables
were in the yard and they groaned I'M
der their load of everything that was
good to eat.
Fully 300 were present, among them
some of the captains comrades in the
civil war.
5. M. Alexander was master of cere-
monies. DR.. Greer, pastor of the Bap-
tist church in Winchester, conducted
the devotional exercises. Speeches ap-
proprlate to the occasion we're made bv
Mr. Alexander, P. b. Keith, Capt.
Sanders, j. NJ. Stewart, Henry Estill
and Caps. T. A. Embrey.
The meeting of Capts. Holder and
Sanders was affecting. Both men had
commanded companies in Col. Turney's
and Sunday was their first re-
union since tue war. s%Es5s
Capt. Holders faithful servants said
Sunday that "Marse 10" had not been
feeling as well as usual the past week,
but was up bright and early Sunday
morning preparing for the hearty wei
come he later gave his guests.
Thru the whole day Capt. Holder was
very happy and expressed his pleasure
1t having bis neighbors and friends
rom over the county with him on this
lay Of cslebrstion.-w Winchester Her.

PUTR1D PUBLICATIONS.

Thos. E. Watson, Editor of the
"Jeffersonian" has been cleared
in u. S. Court, of sending OBJ
scene matter thru the mails,
This was his second trial for the
Offense, the jury disagreeing in
the first. The matter in question
was something said in connection
with the Roman Catholic Church
and the prosecution was said to
have been brought on thru the in,
Auence of that church. Roman
ism works in mysterious ways
her wonders to perform but
when it comes to settling ques-
ton Of right or wrong by IL hon
est jurymen, she hasn't any more
pull" than any of the rest of US.
Bridgeport, Ala, News.
Possibly the News thought il
was reading a praverbook when
it read Watson's vile stuff, but
very probably it hasn't seen the
stuff. We have, and it was dis
gushing, not/only to those of the
Catholic faith but also to Episco-
palians who had any decency re-
garding the vestments their minis
tiers wear. The stuff was SO
nasty. so vile, SO putrid, that after
Mr.. Watson, or his hirelings, for
warded us a copy, in fact several
copies of the articles, which were
in continued form, we forwarded
them to the postoffice officials,
asking them # such stuff was
mailable. The next thing we
heard of was the suit. The News
itself, mind you, son, was ranked
at that time as an immoral sheet
because it spoke in defense OF
some unjustly treated miners at
Tracy City, Tenn, and was de-
clared not fit to enter the homes
of the people. There seems to be
a great divergence of opinion on
the subject of morality and the
members of the juries which
have so far tried Mr.. Watson do
not seem to be able to give a clear
idea of what it is. The very fact
that one juror embraced Mr.. Wat
son after he was declared cleared
would seem to indicate a biased
condition of mind. If this condi-
ton was reached only during the
trial it must have been very
suddenly reached If it existed
previous to the trial that juror
stands guilty of perjury, and will
SO answer before the judgement
seat.
If this decision of the court
stands, and we suppose it will,
for the Catholic Church, or the
EpiscopaIian Church, either for
that matter, quod Scianouts, are
n& taking such active steps
against Mr.. Watson as might be
imagined, it will mean the turn
ing loose of a number of vile
publications, pictures and objects
thru the mails for the ruin of
American youth. We have no
particular fear for the Catholic
youth as a whole, but it will take
divine assistance to save the
great mass of American youth
who are allowed to grow up with
out the influence of a church to
counsel and admonish
them. 49,.
We advise the Bridgeport NOR
alist to send and get Mr.. Watson's
OF his confrere's publications of
course they will be put in book
form now andwidely disseminated
thru the mails and see for him
self if we are not right in declar-
ing the stuff putrid. 1t is putrid,
whether immoral or not, and it is
not in Latin but in plain English. !

Today was children's day and the graveled precincts of Barracks square was filled with the little folks of Nome enjoying the hospitality of the ladies of the Kegoayah Kozga. A commit tee of the ladies was on hand early in the day to look after the small folks and with ideal weather prevail ing they all enjoyed themselves to the iul. Luncheon was served at noon and the youngsters spent the balance of the day romping and frolicl,ing. The scene was most interesting and was watched by hundreds who passed the square while the fun was on.
 Reports of an exceedingly rich gold strike made by Emil Pasteris on the lnmachuk river. in circulation this morning after the arrival of the Sill yer Wave from Kotebue sound, turns out to be a trifle exaggerated. Ac- cording to d statement made to the Nugget by the well known old timer. John w. Johnson who returned after an absence of eight months, the strike is nothing which may be termed phenomenal. Johnson, who was work ing on theI nmachuk during the past winter. states that Pasteris has un- doubtcdly found some good ground but not as rich as the reports sug- gest. Pans running as high as forty dollars have been found and pockets of considerable richness have been located at intervals but the ground will not average very high. Johnson says that the discOverer is due to make Il fair stake from his property but will not be in the millionaire class when the last cleanup is over if pres ent indications are good for anything. Pasteris is taking out the pay every day but, as the ground is spotted, he may be out of it any time. Again it might become better. Johnson says that the ground is spotted along the whole Inmachuk and pay today it no assurance of pay tomorrow. Johnson himself has done fairly well as a re- suit of his venture and say he is well satisfied He will leave soon for San Francisco for trip.
