A clergyman was once riding in
the woods of Pennsylvania when he
came to a place where the road
forked. Not knowing which road
to take he turned to an urchin, who
was sitting on the fence whiting a
rail, and asked:

never goes itself. That's the way

there themselves"
The clergymen rode on in silence.
He had got an idea.

Gov. Merrill, of Iowa, has par
doned Catherine McArdie, who was
sent from Jackson county four
years ago to the State Penitentiary
for life. She confessed to the muir
der Of her husband, and was SEN
fenced to be hanged, but her sentence
was commuted by Governor Stone.
It was afterward found that she was
entirely innocent of the crime, and
that her son was the guilty person.
To save him from the gallews, she
claimed to be the murderess.

The Kuklux-What is it?
From the Memphis Ledger.


The word 'Kuklux," which
designates q band of regulators"
as recognized in Texas and other
Western States, is supposed to be
derived from the Greek word Ruk-

Those who in many instances,
have suffered from the hands of
active members of Loyal Leagues
have, as we are advised, organized
an antagonistic society solely for
the purpose Of protecting persons

of these clubs as represented by
gentlemen from Nashville. All
this vague alarm manifested by
certain carpetbag adventures and
office holders, who came hither SIM

of the "Kuklux." General Thorn
as, if the association is properly
represented, employs detectives in
vain. Thereby the Kuklux, and
others who attempt wrongful
acts, may find power interposing
its authority which is only terrible
to thieves and wrong-doers. 1t is
said, with what degree of truthful
ness others must determine, that
the "Kuklux constitute already q
powerful organization in this coun-
ty. If no other harm be done

Pardoning Criminals.

Brownlow is turning criminals
loose from the penitentiary in
droves.. Murderers, thieves and
burglars fare alike, if they hap
pen to be addicted to Radical
ism. Last week some men who
were pardoned proceeded at once
to a point in North Nashville and
unearthed thirteen hundred dol
lars, which they had stolen, bu-
ried, and were sent to the peniten-
tiary for. Among other convicts
was one McAdams, who was gull
ty of an attempt to rape his own
mother-in-law. Brownlow has just
turned him loose, with commits
sion to enlist a company of loyal
militia!

position and influence, in a letter
dated Nashville, 18th, writes;

Is Lincoln county still
Asleep?

w nen HslllrOaQ excitement hrSt
awoke Tennesseeans from their
slumbers, it could not break
through into Lincoln county. The
Nashville and Chattanooga Rail-
road was built roundabout way,
through a picturesque but not very
fertile section in great part, in
stead of buildinga Railroad direct
ly South from Nashville through
Fayetteville, and connecting us
with the Gulf and Atlantic sea-
board both. Again another Rail-
road must be built from Nashville,
and instead of building directly
South as we have said, this must
be built through Pulaski on the
other side of US, and at last by
dint of hard work we get an arm
of an unfinished road and play Sec
ond-fddle to Franklin. But that
is of the past.
Again the Turnpike excitement
isgotten up, and it breaks through
the walls of old Lincoln for a time,
and one would have thought the
county would have been piked
from one end to the other. Well,
we did have taco pixies to travel on
till the war broke out, and since
then have broken down complete
ly, and have no excuse for a pike.
Various other excitements have
arisen and had their day, into
which old Lincoln would some
times enter, and sometimes never
hear of it..
But there is another fever now
somewhat epidemic, with which
we would like to see Lincoln coun-
ty stricken to some extent. That
is the immigration fever. viii
Lincoln county still sleep on this
subject also? Will she wait till
our neighbcrs have taken the mat
ter in hand, secured to themselves
good citizens, and good and relia-
BILE laborers, and have become
prosperous again, before she a.
wakes and goes to work to secure
her own prosperity? We all
know and feel that we can have
no real prosperity till we can dig
1t out of Mother Earth-that all
other occupations must look to the
farmers success as the foundation
of their own. Therefore, we all
feel an interest in securing to the
farmer the best return for his capt.
tai invested in land, and the labor
bestowed upon it. Poor cultiva-
ton may pay for the labor but it
pays no interest on the capital IL
vested in the land, and in fact, is a
draft on it, because itimpoverishes
the land. Therefore we again ask,
will our farmers, will our business
men, will all those interested in
the future good and prosperity of
our county, still fold their arms
and sleep?
Nor is the day of our necessity.
We need the exertion noao, to give
us a start up the hill again. Let
us get into motion in the right d.
rection, and it will be easier to-
keep it up. The labor done'now,
and the good achieved now, will
be worth twice as much asj it
were put off three or four years,
especially to people in our con-
dition. Say, our whole people.
