In this issue will bo found the
announcement for senator of
Col. A. T. llackett, who was the
choice of the Catoosa county pri
mary. No one is hotter known in

trict will ho in safe hands.
LaFayette has its first gravel
roof, the one on tho drug store
building. Tho board foundation
has a fall of a half inch to tho
foot. On this was put down a
cover of unprepared lelting paper.
Then follows the yard wide tarred
paper, put on shingle fashion and
having a show of seven inches.
Each course has a coat of tho
thickened tar between it and the
one above it. After being shin
gled with tho tarred paper, a coat
of hot tar was applied and the
gravel, screenings from tho crush
er at Chattanooga, sproad. The
roof is guaranteed for ten years.

ltoiiiiil Pond Reminiscences.
Fifty years ago, about this time
John Dickson, with a fishing par
ty, spent tho night at Found Pond.
Ho caught as his share 110 cat
fish. On another occasion,
Dr. Cothran and some others
rode out there. The doctor was
thrown near the pond and almost
killed. His companions stripped
and by diving down filled a bottle
with tho cold water found there.
This was poured on him to revivo
him and given him to drink. Tradi
tion does not say where the bot
tle came from in that prohibi
tion crowd.
G. W. Clements had heard the
old story that two Indians who
wanted to ascertain the depth of
tho Pond put a wash pot on their
head and went down, bat never
came up again. Time and again,
he has dived there to find that
wash pot hut always failed.

Henry Clay King, of Memphis,
a gifted lawyer and who had made
a fine record as a soldier shot to
death wantonly a distinguished
attorney of that city, Henry Pos
ton. When tried he was found
guilty of murder. The Supremo
Court of Tennessee has affirmed
the verdict, and nothing now re
mains for King, if there is no ex
ecutive clemency, but death by
tho rope. It is a magnificent il
lustration of judicial impartaility,
when such stern justice is meted
out to one occupying his high po
sition.
The Catoosa Primary.
Was held Friday. The result
wo give elsewhere.
In holding a county primary
instead of having one for the dis
trict, wo think Catoosa has made
a mistake that cannot bo remedied.
It is a common sense proposition
that her sister counties, Dade and
Walker, were entitled to ho heard
in tho choice of the candidate to
be furnished by her. Among
democrats, the right to vote car
ries with it tho right to say
shall bo voted for. The privilege
of furnishing under the rota
tion system the senator from this
district does not give her tho say
so as to who that senator shall he.
As weliavo said, we do not think 1
the mistake can he remedied. Ca
toosa may come forwaid with the
proposition that wo shall hold a
convention to accept or reject her
nomination, but it will be impos
sible to got a vote on tho question.
Tho time for a convention has
passed.
The County Congressional Con
' vention.
On the 15th inst. the democrats
of Walker will meet at LaFayette
to select delegates to the District
Congressional Convention. For
whom should they bo instructed?
If wisdom and conservatism rule,
wo think Hon. It. W. Everett will
be tho choice of our county. As
a democrat, ho lias tho right to
claim a re-nomination by the un
broken usage of his party, which
gives an acceptable member a
second term. That ho lias done
his whole duty no one can deny,
He has boon faithful to his trust,
and true to every interest of his
constituents. When other men
are leaving their post to look after
fences, ho stays, mindful of but
one thing—his duty.
As a question of conservatism
his re-nomination is demanded.
Wo want to show tho farmer ele
ment.of tho district that the man
whom they made our standard
hearer and whose democracy has
been tried, can count upon the
support of every loyal democrat.
The district has no one that can
represent it more worthily than
Judge Maddox, hut ho can, wait
gracefully before pressing Ins
claims, as long as good faith and
tho good of tho party demand tho
renomination of Hon. It. W. Ev
erett.
