The Publisher's Claims Sustained UNITED STATES COURT OF CLAIMS The Publishers of Webster's International Dictionary allege that it "is, in fact, the popufur Unabridged thoroughly re-edited in every detail, aud vastly enriched in every part, with the purpose of adapting it to meet the larger and severer requirements of another generation." We are of the opinion that this allegation most cloarly and accurately describes the work that has been accomplished and the result that has been reached.
'The Dictionary, ng it now stands, bus been thoroughly reedited in every detail, has been corrected in evory part, and is admirably adapted to meet tho larger and severer requirements of a generation which domands more of popular philological knowledwe than any geucration that the world has ever contained. It la perhaps needless to add that wo refer to tho dictionary in our judicial work as of the highest authority in accuracy of definition; and that in the future as in the past It will be the source of constant reference.

Rev Ben Haynes and Parson Alf Williams, of the Progress and News respectively, are about to accuse each other of apostasy. Don't go back on your religion, brethren.
Get together and divide your differences and give us a whiff of your breath at long range.Lynn C. Doyle. There are different ways of putting liquor out of the country. Some temperance cranks think that the proper way to put it out is to elect some swill guzzlers for marshal and recorder and let them drink it all up and remove the temptation from those who have sutticient conscience to get intoxicated. -Sevierville Vindicator.
Two months after its alleged deliverance in Nashville there has been turned out from the Hale editorial factory in Knoxville his "speech" before the reunion of the Tennessee office holders held in the capital city the day following the republican state convention on March 25. A verbatim copy of this "specch" appeared in the Record last week and you may bet your last dollar she was a corker from the word go. Punctured frequently with deafening applause, the congressman scored the people for looking out after their own interests and congratulated the pie brigade on the full attendance at the meeting. From a literary view point the "speech" might be termed a gem. It reached the spot with all those present, for 90 per cent of them were either office or were expecting to.
Then when the mighty Nathan arose--the one man who was being looked to to furnish the "sinews" of war--of course there was great "applause" for the loyalty that was expected would have been lacking if this part of the program had miscarried. But what we started out to ask is why the publication of this mighty speech was delayed for all these weeks? Is it possible that the congressman and Record were too busy taking civil service examinations and getting "appropriations" to give the matter attention at an earlier date? These of course are not pertinent questions, but we would simply like to know the real facts for our own personal satisfaction, if we do not appear too personal in -Rockwood Times. It is not everyone who hollers "'stop thief" who is honest nor is it who proclaims, "Touch not, taste not, handle not," who is a total abstainer. If the sentence, "Woe unto re hypocrites" is rigidly enforced, a great many preachers of temperance and practicers of booze will soon go to a country where they never shovel snow. -Vindicator.

A little while back, a man sent a wagon load of goods from co*cke county into Jefferson. A four team had a hard time pulling it to the county line. When they reached it, two of the horses were unhitched and sent back home, and the other two pulled the load with ease on the splendid Jefferson county pike.
