' IP, ' ILL irv f: 8 gj i County Correspondence GARBER'S As we see no one corresponding for Tub Comet from this part of the moral vineyard, perhaps a few items may not be amiss to your many readers. Farmers are about up with their har vesting auu "laying by tbeir corn crop, auil are now ready for turning the soil for wheat, only waiting for the ground to get in proper condition. Mrs. John CrosBwbite and little son, of Kansas City, Mo., are expected to arrive hero in a few days on a month's visit to her parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Wilson. Mr, Crosswhite will arrive some two week's later. Politics are beginning to bo the talk ot the day, and from present indica tions tbe political lines are going to be more tightly drawn than has been cus tomary in county elections for several years. 1 he republicans baring a de cided majority in tbe county it is ad mitted by the present encumbents' best friends that they will have to get a mighty bustle on if they succeed in be ing re-elected. The personal popu larity of both the trustee and sheriff will be a very poteut element in their behalf, and with unremittent and un tiring labor until the close of the polls, we may pass them under tbe wire. Tbe result either way is bound to be close. The health of this community was never better, and if our prominent and popular physician did not have several other business enterprises cn band that amply supplies tbe demands of the in ner man, he would perhaps ber com pelled to go to bed hungry on many oc casions. We have recently had free delivery of tbe mail established here with this a starting point. Also a postoffice money order office, both of which is a great blessing to the route it covers. Blackberries our only sure crop has about played out. It is needless to say more of them were canned and made into jam and jelly than common, for tbe reason apples, peaches and all other fruits are almost a complete fail ure in this section. Johnson City is certainly enjoying a period of reformation, as we have not beard of a killing or attempted killing 1 ii ij l.;n: r - - i t -i or mi iu" awuue. The wheat crops here are better than lor many years. It tuere were not so many horrible democrats scattered among us the good Lod would prob ably have smiled upon us two fold bet ter. Being a republican, we cannot write little items that a democratic taper would likely publish, so will close, promising that if this escapes tbe waste basket, that after the election we will after the election keep tbe readers of The Comet posted in tbe transpiring of things iu this thriving little village and surrounding section. ' Uno. July 27, 1904. EIGHTH DISTRICT. Now that tbe partisan machihe gun has been put in operation at demo cratic headquarters, every one may ex pect to hear the cannon roar. The am munition thus far in the bands of the gnnners consists of ten bombs, charged with smokeless powder, lyddite smells, tariff chain shot and cayenne pepper, and the first discharge by franked mail will tare large gaps in tbe flying columns of the enemy the republican party, from Newyorkivitch to Califor nia. When these missels fall in the enemy's camp, it will be fare-you-well "Teddy" and the G. O. P. The farmers took advantage of the Cured of Chronic Dlarroea At'ltr Ten Ymrs of Snft'erliis. I wisn to say a tew words in praise of Chamberlain s Colic, Cholera and Diarboea Remedy," says Mrs. Mattie Buree. of Martinsville, Va.. "I suffer ed from chronic Diarrooea for ten years auu during that time tried vari ous medicines without obtaining any permanent relief. Last summer one of my children was taen with cholera morbus, and l procured a Dome reme dy. Only two doses were required to eive I er entire relief. I thon decided to try the medicine myself, and did not use use all of one bottle before 1 was well and I bhave uever never since been troubled with that complaint. One cannot say too much in favor of that wonderful medicine." This rem edy is for sale by II. C. Miller, Dm gist. Tess I suppose he surprised you when he kissed your hand.

Miss Mamie Fine was on the sick list last week, but is now convalescing. The little girl who confidently spelled o-a-t and prououueed it "dog made no greater mihtakein orthography than the republicans who spell bankruptcy and pronounce it prosperity. Sunday schools in thU district are all progressing nicely both in mem bers and interest. Some of our farmers are threshing wheat, which is good both in quality and quantity. .Since my last we have had some fine rains, which were vory much needed as growing vegetation was beginning to show the effects of the dry, hot weather of a week ago. Elmer Dulaney seems to have an 'awful" attract ion over near tbe moun tain. That's right, Elmer, always try to be where your treasures are. As the August election is very uar at hand let all the democrats set a bump on themselves and work for tbe party nominee's. Keep awake, look ahead and keep ahead, until tbe polls close on tbe first Thursday in August and the victory w ill be ours. All democrats and a majority of the good republicans here are well pleased with the selection of Hon. E. K. Bach man by the Oroeneville convention, as tbe democratic candidate for attorney general.

On Sunday morning, July 17tb, death visited our district and claimed for its victim the 11-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. James -Burleson. His death was due to flux. He was laid to rest on the following-day in the family cemetery. The bereaved family have j the sympathy of all. Rev. John Cross filled his regular appointment at Speedwell the fourth Sunday.

Some excellent music was rendered by Miss Tbornburg, af ter which all retired to the dining room and partook of a most excellent dinner. It was a day long to be remembered, one Sn which all thought it "good to be there." Tbe next president of the United States resides at i.sopus and ce is a Democrat and that's no fable. Misses Anna and Myrtle Scott were visiting the farmer's sister, Mrs. Hart- man, ot near Sulphur springs, last Sunday. 8. C. Watson, spent Sunday with bis aunt, Mrs. Eva Scott. There is quite a lot of talk just now in regard to a singing school at Edeu. Something like this is greatly needed there and we hopo that same will meet with auocess. Some of our people have beou "tuk ing in" the mountains the pant two weeks in search of huckleberries. All report tbe crop immensely large, plenty of snakes, and "chiggers," to make a fellow scratch. Our jolly old frioud, John S. Nead, says he does not intend to. go to the mountains another timo this year and take as many "wimmen" as he did laxt week without having another man to help him look after them. We would be just like you, Undo John, for wo men are too much trouble anyway, and you know they never say "thank you" only with a striped stick of candy. C. W.

The average veteran finds more enjoyment making the rounds of tbe park, black berry field and backwoods, than in anything else. Again he is cultivating Chesterfield and Buckingham manners thereby raising tbe standard of our reservation courtesy when they see a lady or strangers on tbe ground. On July 1st, the beginning of the fiscal year, some changes were made, and more will follow higher up in the near future for elements are cryBtaliz ing which are destined to jolt ns a lit tle with a 20th century interpretation ot tbe rules and regulations governing this branch. Last week we had quite an interest ing performance in tbe bean patch be tween two old vets. One claimed he could walk farther on his eyebrows than the other conld plow with his nose. So they plowed and walked until the ground was torn np without coming to any decision. So the gov ernor was called in next morning as referee to decide the contest, which was they had the privilege to stay in camp for twenty days. Boys, yon must not fight. Our genial postmaster, Sandy, made tt varv tyrant avtniaif!nn in Via rtatit- flee menagerie by the purchase of Doves monkey. lie bad a sprncy feathered rooster to crow, a mountain whip-poor-will to sing, and Pete to gather in the shekels. So comrades when you go for yonr mail be provided with pennies, and don't try to palm off buttons on Pete. But for the life of ns we cannot see wherefore or for what purpose Sandy is gathering the sheck- ela. Is it for contribution box for some benevolent institntion or for the democratic campaign funds?
