Everybody knows that. It was the typo that made it Curtis. Dr. Conway says that Millard Filmore never married. ". He is mis token. His first wife was Abigail Powers and his second was Caroline Mcintosh. It is singular how many of the presidents married widows.; Madison's wife, Dolly Payne, was a widow Todd. Her maiden name was Dorothy Coles. I reckon we will get this matter straightened out after a while. Mr. Thaxton, of Tennesse, writes me that the full list of mothers and wives can be found in the "World Almanac" of 1894. Friend Thaxton is not mad, but he is erieved that I said Johnson's parent were too poor and . r b uc uameu iu me Diograpny. that was not my assertion, but was a bit of -sarcasm on the commler. who a . makes special mention of their poverty and lack of education and rec irda that Andrew and his mother and stepfather moved from Raleigh, N. C, to Green Iville, Tenn., in a two-wheeled cart drawn by a blind pony, but does not give their names. Mr. Thaxton says his wife's father was an own cousin of Andrew Johnson and Andrew's mother name was Mary McDonough, but he does not mention the stepfather. Who did Mary marry the second time ? The biography in Appleton was written by James Phelan, editor of The Memphis Uv w w tcij au onH favnraKlo in TnKnann an A UTa ;fA a aatwawav w- VVUUOVU UU 1UO TIUC and children.

Phelan says that Andrew learned his labet on the tailor's bench, and his Elizai McCardle, taught him to My friend Thaxton says that he did not know"' that poverty and ignorance were tied together. As a general rule they are. That second husband must have been both shiftless and ignorant if he. couldn't provide any better trans portation for his wife and stepson than a two-wheel cart and a blind pony for a . long journey. If Mr. InaxtOn Was to see such a cavalcade as that coming j x. p . - nftj np wnnA Mv QOffn lne D15 . roaa now ne WOUia say that poverty and ignorance were tramp ing along together. But this much we have learned from Mr. Thaxton that Andrew Johnson's mother's maiden name was Mary McDonough. All honor to him who rose from poverty and obscurity and all honor to his de voted wife and to his accomplished daughter, Mrs. Patterson, who presided so worthily in the white house. And Roosevelt married twice that's right! He ought to have a good wo man at hlar elbow all of the time. I reckon he must have been a widower when he wrote those slanders against Jefferson Davis and the people of the south. I am still waiting for him to retract and apologize. But now he is a candidate and is scheming for the solid northerrf vote and the southern ne groes thrown in, he won't retract. If he is to be elected president, I want Miles to be coupled with him on the ticket for vice-president. The cham pion chainer and the champion de- famer ought to be paired. One to work on live meu and the other on dead ones. ' ' And here ia letter from Mrs. Lacy Harrison Gay Whitfield, of Siddons- ville, Ala., who informs me that Wil - liam Henry Harrison's mother was Eiizabeth Bassett. She i Mrs. Whit - field's great-great-graridmother and was the wife of Ben Harrison who signed the Declaration of Independence. '"" His mother was Anne Carter, an aunt of Robert Lee.

There is enough in this little pamphlet to establish the faith and stimulate the pride of every south ern man. According to Jackson, the south was not responsible for slavery, and according to Webster we were justified in seceding. And so the northern saints were in the wrong for violating the constitution and precipi tating that most unrighteous war and ought to make apology and restitution to us. They Owe to our people millions nd billions of dollars. - They owe to me right now $20,000 damages, and if Roosevelt don't retract and apologize, I think I will attach his trunks and his bear guns when he comes in reach. He did not do the stealing, but he is an accessory after the fact, and that is just as bad. Now, I have no interest in the sale of that pamphlet, but I want every young man and woman to have one.

Good sized chicken aeii here now at from 15 to 25 cent. -Kgg sell at 20 cent per dozen, and bring 15 the year rounds There ia no trouble in getting the caah for them. Tne de mand is increaaing all the time for these necessary product of the farm. An exchange says, nd truly: The rea son for the increased demand, and consequently higher price, ia very evident. 8o,many people have l-ft the farm and moved to cotton mUla and tbe number of people who raiae their own chickens in the towns and citi is constantly decreasing, because aa these place become more populoua there is less opportunity for raising chickena. The rrotrreie farmer hould take advantage of thi situation and prepare a place, fencing it in iroperly so a not to have their crop injured, and get ready for poultry raia- ina for market on a more extensive scale. It will furnieh ready rrK.rwy all the year round. Small patch'- of grain or clover can be sown for tbe chickens and thus reduce the expenae of kep- j ing them very materially.
