Pension Agent Skinner has taken the matter up and has forwarded a ; copy of one of the letters to the in- terior department at Washington; It is probable that the attorney will be arrested for treason.

Ex-Tennesse Goyernors. | Memphis Commercial. The great State of Tennessee has given birth to many men who have become Governors of other States. Among them are Henry Johnson, for fives times Governor of Louisi- ana, afterward United States Sena tor. He was the grandfather of Hon, Cave Johnson and married the sister of Frank Key, author of the “Star-Spangled Banner.” Governor Johuson was a deputy sheriff of Davidson county,Tennessee, in 1800. Another great man was Samuel Houston, who was Governor of Ten- nesse and afterward Governor and United States Senator from Texas. George Baxter, formerly of Nash- ville, was for two years Governor of Wyoming. Several Tennesseeans have been Governors of Territories by Presidential appointment. You ungrateful wretches who have wives ought to ponder these pointed words by a writer: “There is many a wife hungering for an occasional word of approval who will be buried in a rosewood coffin. It is better to strew in the paths of patient, noble- hearted wives roses of kind words and pleasant smilesand deeds than to harshly prod them with thorns while they live and put flowers on their caskets after they are dead.” Columbia, Mo., Sept. 15.—The friends of Garrison H. Chance of Centralia, Boone county, was sur- prised to learn today of his marriage to Miss Mary S. Neill. Mr. Chance is 80 years old, and this is his fourth matrimonial venture.
