OPERATION NECESSARY

John Roberts who went to Nashville about ten days ago and entered a hospital there for medical attention, will undergo an operation today necessitated from an abscess on the stomach. While the operation is a rather serious one, his physicians think he has a good chance to come out from under it safely. The Enterprise shares the hope of all the people of Livingston that the operation may prove entirely successful. Dr. J. Doak Capps and C. A. Roberts left yesterday for Nashville to be with him during the operation.

Dr. J. M. Shelton, a former resident of this county, died at Bushnell, Fla., a few days ago. Dr. Shelton was one of the most widely known and popular men of Overton county for a number of years, and his death will be heard of with people in all ranks of life.

Negroes of the A. M. E. Church at Nashville have gotten up a petition against the abolishment of capital punishment by the present legislature, giving as their reason, that it will tend to increase mob violence against their race. There is undoubted some room for this argument, and it should be weighed carefully before the law is passed. Capital punishment has obtained in all southern states since their inception of abolishing the law just yet, until the race problem is more fully solved.

If I’d catch a kid of mine at anything like that I’d blister him.
If you don’t think it’s a good thing for you I don’t want you to do it.
If I had that woman for a little while I’d teach her a few things.
If I had just a little money I know here I could go out and make a pile.
I don’t care anything for the money. It was the principle of the thing.
I’ve never seen such weather before.

Movement on Foot
To Revoke Charter of Livingston.
It is reported on good authority that a movement is on foot to hold an informal election next Saturday to ascertain the will of the people of the town in reference to the repeal of the act incorporating the town of Livingston.
If this should be done, the contract with the school would thereby be annulled and pool rooms would take the place of the school. The school could not hope to run with out the protection of an incorporation. Quite a number of the citizens within the corporate limits, especially those on the outskirts of the town favor the repeal of the town charter upon the idea that they would thereby be relieved of the bond issue; but this is a mistake for the county court would levy the tax on the same taxpayers in order to pay interest on the bonds. Besides, these citizens get the benefit of a free school, whereas they would have to send elsewhere or pay tuition, if they were to go out of the corporate limits.
If anything along this line is done, we suggest that the charter of town be amended so as to cut down the corporate limits to a smaller area, and thus leave the contract with the school in full force and permit it to continue.

TWENTY YEARS AGO
IN LIVINGSTON
From the files of the Overton County Enterprise dated, Thursday,
Jan. 31, 1895.
Mrs. R. L. Burks has been very low but is some better.
The many friends of Dr. M. B. Capps will be glad to know of his return to the city. He has moved his family into the Phillip Myers house.
Brother Hatcher will preach at the Methodist church Saturday night.
The Fair Directors met last Saturday night and accepted the report of the finance committee The committee reports on hand about $700.
The Nashville burner is “cussing” the legislature black and blue.
The contest bill has passed both houses of the legislature. The Hon. Cordell Hull opened the debate in lower house with an able speech.

The State Senate ought to kill the bill abolishing capital punishment recently passed by the House. This bill is the product of sentimentalism run mad and should not be allowed to become a law in Tennessee. The fear of punishment prevents crime and death by hanging or electrocution is now the most effective preventive. Already the murder rate in this state is large as punishment is made lax. With the abolition of capital punishment lynchings will become more frequent and general disregard of the law will increase. The senate should kill this bill. Summer Co. Times.

The legislature proposes to make the man who imports a gallon of booze drink it all himself. That would be capital punishment. Giles County Record
