TENNESSEE LETTER.
All Old Montgomery Oountj' Man Writes From the Laud of tho Sweet Potiito, Corn and Cotton.
To tho Editor of the Journal. MUKKKEKKHOHO, Tenn., Mar. 2!), 1897. —I have been reading your most valuable paper for several years and I do prizes it most highly for its staunch loyalty to the people, the Republican party and most of all so loyal to the old soldiers that saved this country in the sixties. I have never seen any communication in your paper from here. Now if you will accept a few lines from an old Indiana soldier that has been enjoying the company of our old Johnny friends for twenty years, and not throw this in the waste basket, you may haer from here again. We are having beautiful weather. The thermometer stands at 00. Fruit trees are all in bloom, wheat, oats and grass looks splendidly, stock all turned out to pasture. Most all the plowing for crops is done and some have planted corn and if it is fair next week the largest part of it will be planten. It is most to soon to plant cotton for we are sure to have some frost yet. It seems that all the farmers are preparing for a dry summer on account of there being so much rain this winter. Hope it won't turn out that' way. But corn planted now will be ripe in June and the spring rain wfill make it, also oats and millet, and as cotton is a sun plant it will make good crops without any rain. Sweet potatoes are a big paying crop here and and are raised by the thousand bushel and shipped north. Captain Catties is loading a car now for the north. The middle size for seed he is bedding out now for slips to plant. Just ask some old Yankee soldier how good they used to be when they used to forage for them. Well I just shouted when I heard Indiana had done Mr. Bryan up and gave Comrade McKinley such a big majority. I was looking for it but wasn't sure until it was done. Well we have one thing to bragg of and that is the city of Murfreesboro gave McKinley a majority. The State was counted again but that business is coming to a close. We are glad we got II. Clay Evans for Pension Commissioner. We wanted him for Fostmaster-General and Pickler for commissioner, but we are satisfied as it is. I lived several years in Montgomery county at New Ross, or Valley City as it was called then. I have many friends there, at Mace and in Crawfordsville. Several of my Company 1, 124 Indiana, live in
that county. Well if this is acceptable, I will write again and tell you about1 Pat,r'c'{
our beautiful country and give you
the difference between it now and war times and the battle fields, forts, and our National Park etc. I will be glad to hear from any old comrades or any others that want to hear from this country if they will send stamps for reply. Respectfully,
T. W. MCCmjuh.
ONK OI" TWO WAYS.
The bladder was created for one purpose, namely ,a receptacle for the urine, and as buch it is not liable to any form of disease except by one of two ways. The first way is from imperfect action of the kidneys. The second way is from careless local treatment of other diseases.
Chief Cause.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kidneys is the chief cause of bladder troubles and suffering so painful to many that life is made miserable. The womb like the bladder was created for one purpose, and if left alone it is not liable to become diseased, except in rare cases. When in position the womb is situated back of and very close to the bladder, and for that reason any distress, disease or inconvenience manifested in the kidneys, back, bladder or urinaiy passage is often bj mistake, attributed to female weakness or womb trouble of some sort. This error is easily made and may be as easily avoided by paying a little attention to the condition of the urine (see pamphlet). The mild and extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder remedi' is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures. If you need a medicine you should have the best. At druggists fifty cents and one dollar. ou may have a sample bottle and pamphlet, both sent free by mail. Mention the CUAWFORDSVH.LE .TOUHNAI. and send your address to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Hinghamton, N. Y. The proprietors of this paper guarantee the genuiness of this offer.

"Mother's Friend"
prepares the lyetem for the change taking place, assists Nature to make child-birth easy and leaves her in a condition more favorablo to speedy recovery. It greatly diminishes the danger to life of both mother and child. "My wife suffered more in ten minutes with either of her other two children than she did altogether with hor last,having previously used four bottles of "Mother's Friend."

THE SUNDAY SCHOOLS.
Tlic Condition of Several of tlio Montgomery County Schools—Praise l''or the Morningside Mission.
The most enthusiastic, progressive and up-to-date school in the county, and surely one that is doing as much good as any other is the East End Mission. Standing as it did—it seems but a few months ago—in a little eight by ten room, it has grown until it almost fills its new home, "Memorial Chapel." Memorial Chapel is perhaps the best arranged building for Sunday school purposes in this part of the State. It is well lighted, heated and ventilated, and every class (except the adult classes in the main auditorium) ha6 a room to itself. These rooms can be separated from the main auditorium by rolling doors, or all can be thrown into one large room by pushing the door upward. Under the skillful-lead-ership of Mr. E A. Leroy this school has grown from a mere handful to be one of the largest in the county—its average attendance being 100—and, during the past year it has distributed more Bibles to destitute families than till of other schools in the county combined. It has preaching services every Sunday and is open every evening of the week. Its prayer meetings are more largely attended than those of any other church in Crawfordsville. Long live the East End Mission.
Oakland Sunday school, in Madison township, reorganized last Sunday. It closed up for the winter early in December, but, before closing did a thing that every Sunday school, if they must close, ought to do before closing, viz: Organized a Home Department. When it was found that the school must close the superintendent secured home class supplies and every person enrolled, as well as many in the neighborhood who did not attend any Sunday school, joined the Home Department, and in this way kept in touch with the lessons and Sunday school work all through the winter with its cold weather and bad roads. Now they are open and ready for business again. This school won the banner offered by the State Association for having its entire enrollment in line in the grand parade at the State convention held here last June. Thompson's Chapel, in Coal Creek township, won alike banner.
Hibernian Sunday school, in Ripley towuship, following in the footsteps of Oakland, when it found that it must close for the winter, organized a Home Department, nearly every family in the neighborhood joining. This was only for the winter months, for on the first Sunday in April—next Sunday— they are to reorganize.
Fairview Sunday school, at Kirk-
,as
men
the largest Home Depart-
of any school in the county. The average attendance of the school is about sixty, while the Home Department has more than one hundred members.
Sixty schools in Montgomery county have Home Departments. Every school ought to have one. It ought to be a regular department in every school just as the primary, intermed: ate, junior and senior. It takes the Sunday school to the home where the home cannot go to the Suoday school. It reaches the very aged, invalids, mothers with small children, servant girls, doctors, druggists, railroad men, and any other person whose condition or occupi»*J"n keens him from,attending the Sunday 6chooi. They belong to it just the same—and are counted present if they study the lesson—as though they attended the main school every Sunday. Home Department will be taken up and fully explained in next week's issue of the Jounx.vi,.
Franklin township will hold its fourth quarterly convention at Darlington on Thursday, April 22, 1897. This township has not for years missed holding four conventions every year, and is to-day if not the best, one of the best organized townships in the State.
The blanks'for bur annual gathering of statistics and contribution for otate work will be sent out this week. Superintendents will please see to it that they are properly filled out and returned to me as soon as possible. Our county is the only one in the State in which every school sends in a complete statistical report and contribution for State work. We have made this record for two years. We must not fall behind this year. Last year only one county in the State paid more for State work than Montgomery, viz: Marion, and Marion did not pay half what she pledged. We paid more than our pledge. Montgomery county must keep in the lead.

Decision of Illinois Supreme Conrt, Will Koleuse Hundreds of Criminal*.
JOLIET, 111., March 531.—Warden McClaughrey of the Juliet penitentiary says the recent decision of the Illinois supreme court declaring the indeterminate imprisonment law unconstitutional will cause the release of COO prisoners from that institution. This state of affairs will occur at other state penal institutions. McClaughrev says there is no money to pay the expenses of releiiising the prisoners in Joliet or other prisons. Each prisoner receives $10 bounty money, a $10 suit of clothes, and §2 for railroad fare, a total of $l!l,2()0 for his prison alone. A couple of thousand or more criminals starting out will appall the police of every largo city in the country.
