With the dat- of the Democratic
state convention but little mare than
a month off there is but one announced
candidate for the gubernatorial nomi
nation, Thoa. R. Preston of Chattanoo
ga. There are three other gentlemen
who are being urged for the nomina
tion by their friends, Thos. C. Rye of
Paris; Judge S. J. Everett of Jackson,
and Judge A. H. Roberts of Livingston.
Next week we will publish the plan by
which delegates are to be selected to
the state convention.
The Republican State Convention
met In NashYille yesterday and nomi'
nated Ben W. Hooper for governor for
the third time, and S. C. Williams for
Judge of the Supreme Court. They
made no nomination for railroad com
missioner, but will support the nomi
nee of the Independents. The plat
form adopted was very long. We will
print a synopsis of it nelt week.
We welcome to our exchange table
the Morgan County Herald, the initial
number of which , we received last
week. The Herald is published by Seid
Waddel,' Jr., at Oakdale. We hope he
may soon become a blooming plutocrat
l'ke all country ed'tors.
Corsets are now being made with
legs to them In order that the dear
things may use their 1 imbs In walk
ing. But what's the use they would
only trip and fall on the one-legged
pantaloons now worn for skirts. Suf
fering Rebecca, what next.
Cookeville needs a board of trade
or some simHan organization, and al
so a ercdit association.- Let our busi
ness men take steps to put these two
movements on foot.
CONFEDERATE REUNION
The annual reunion of Confederate
veterans will be hem in Jacksonville,
Florida, on May 6, 7 and 8, 1914. The
railroads have made a rate of one cent
a mile, plus 25c for the occasion. 'The
fare from Cookeville will be about
$13.00 for the round trip.
Great preparations are being made
by the people of Jacksonville to enter
tain the veterans and visitors to the
reunion. Jacksonville Is a city of
80,000 populat'on, with the largest ho
tel accommodations of any city In the
South, and amply able t0 care 'or
who may attend the reunion. j
Two noteworthy changes have been
made in the plans for the occasion.
The veterans will all be entertained In
the hotels and homes of the city, and
will be carried in automobil s and car
riages dur'ng the parade. Both these
changes are wise ones.
Suppose you go to church next Sun
day it will do you good.
By exchange Eld. T. J. Easteswill
preach at the Baptist church the 4th
Sunday, in April, both at the morning
and night service.

COOKEVILLE GETS RAILROAD.
Tennessee, Kentucky & Northern to
Build into This City.
Arrangements are nearly completed
for the extension of the Tennessee,
Kentucky & Northern railroad from
Algood to Cookeville in the near fu
ture. Matters have progressed so far
that the right of way if being secured
and a committee is raising money with
which to grade the road, that being all
that is asked from our citizens, and
they are contributing in regular Cooke
ville style.
We understand that the line will be
extended later to Spaijta, giving the
citizens of that thrifty burg another
and better outlet to Nashville.
The Herald considers this the most
important event in the recent history
of Cookeville, and predicts great and
varied benefits.
The building of this railroad, to
gether with the location here of the
new County High School will help to
keep Cookeville the metropolis of the
mountains.

worth:
Mr. I. C. Morgan, M. D., Cummlngs-

Doan's Kidney Pills in my practice
and they have given more than favor
able results. The patient was a lady
about twenty-two years old and had
been suffering from dropsy for two
years. I tapped her twice, drawing
about five gallons of water. I finally
began giving her Doan's Kidney Pills
To my great surprise there is no sign
of dropsy now. She is now out and
around and has gained , flesh and
strength. Doan's Kidney Pills have
proven to be a fine remedy."
- Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't
