a lot or routine business was disposed
oi. Bro. Dank Garrison is about as
last week. He is in a desperate con
dition, cant sit up, is forced to He on
one side all the time, he is virtually
worn out and greatly discouraged.
Bro. J. H. York In some respects is
thought ot be a little better His wife
has been sick and is yet quite feeble.
He has five little girls who are attend
ing school very bright little girls
and everything should be done, by all
concerned, to keep them in school.
The Lodge has no degree work on
hand now and a few petitions sent in
now would receive proper attention.
All that interferes with rapid growth
of Fraternal orders Is a proper con
ception of the objects, aims, and work
of the Fraternities by the uninitiated.
These matters should be investigated
by the outsiders.

, METHODIST PASTORS
R ev. J. F. Tinnon comes to Cooke
ville another year as pastor of the
M. E. Church, South, and Rev. Fred
B. Cox returns to Algood. Rev. W. E.
Doss goes to Woodbine church, Nash
ville; Rev. G. W. Nackles returns to
Erin; Rev. S. M. Ensor to Rome; Rev.
O. Ensor goes to Hermitage and
Rev D. A. Ensor to Hartsville. Rev.
H. B. Blue succeeds Rev. J. T. Black
wood as presiding elder for the Leba
non District, Mr. Blackwood going to
the Dickson district.
The Banner and its candidate for
governor are sore because Mr. Bryan
and Mr. Daniels are in the state
sleaking for Mr. Rye and democracy.
They say state and national matters
are entirely separate, and that the
present election is purely a state mat
ter. Let's see; who was it Gof. Hoop
er appointed toxa seat in the United
States Senate Was it not Newell
Sanders? Looks like state and nat
ional affairs may mix to some extent
Governor Hooper said the other day
that George Welch voted against ev
ery good bill and for every bad one
in the senate two years ago. He
claims 27 good laws were "-passed in
that session of the legislature. Welch
repl es that ht voted for 24 of them
and introduced two, and proves bis
claims by giving the page or the jour
nal where the vote is recorded.
MILLET SEED GARRISON
The Crossville Chronicle is still
making faces at the Herald man. It
is fortunate for the owners of certain
patches of Hungarian grass near Cross
ville that the "wild ass of Putnam"
does not frequent that vicinity or the
crop might be destroyed. It is said
to grow as fast as Uec in the Chroni
cle office.
There s a tale connected with these
grass patches. Hon. A. L. Garrison
os Crossville is at the head of the
seed department of Tennessee.
Abe told some of his neighbors that
millet was a fine crop to grow and
that the state had some choice millet
seed. He sent them some and when
it came up It was Hungarian grass.
Yet Hooper claims he only appoints
men who are qualified.

Mrs. J. ' Howard, Hill St., Mc-
Minnville, Tna., says. "I had so lit
tle faith i:i proprietary medicines that
I was not induced to take Doan's Kid
ney Pills for a long time because I
did not think - they could help me. A
relative however, so strongly urged
me to use this remedy that I finally
got a box. The result of their use
was surprising and gratifying. I was
relieved at once from kidney trouble
from which I had suffered for years.
I consider Doan's Kidney Pills a fine
kidney medicine and am glad to con
firm all I have ever said about them.
I have had no need of a kidney medi
