Today the second copy of the Journal

guration of a paper, it is unsurpassed
county paper 1 have ever read.
Although now hot a citizen of Ktioxville,
yet I am greatly interested in her future"
welfare, for among her people ’I labored
earnestly for two years and a half in the'
hope of benefiting her children—the future
hope of the town. Knoxville still'ha? her
place in'my affection, and my sincere hopes
for the undimmed luster of her future ca¬
reer. From her obscurity may she rise to
an enviable position among her sister
towns, and may your paper be one great
impetus to her advancement. I am glad
that Knoxville has secured such a paper
and such a citizen ax its editor.
Long live The Journal and may its
subscribers be numbered by the thousaud.
Yours Truly,
Jas. C Blasingame.
Rev. T. Df/VVitt Talmage prea ched a
sermon last Sunday at the‘Brooklyn Tab¬

thinking, full of good reason and common'
'sense. He advanced some strong argu
iiieiitragainst woman’s suffrage and Un¬
like, although iio said lie wanted them to
vote one time. There is notliihg more dis¬
gusting to flic Southern woman than to
>:ee one of her sex assuming to act in mas¬
culine capacity, and it is safe to say that
the mote virtuous and enlightened women
of our Southland will evei look upon this
woman’s suffrage business with contempt
and disgust.
