HORRIBLE DEED.
Wan Commits Suicidc.

On Saturday last man named Thomas
j. Conner, who resides near RUSSELL,
in the eastern part of this State, went to
MorristOwn, accompanied by his brother,
for the purpose of transacting some bust
ness. On Sabbath morning the report was
freely circulated that Mr.. @. had been sus-
pected of insanity, and that, nOtwithstand-
ing diigent search had been made, no trace
of his whereabouts could be ascertained
Later in the day much interest was awak-
ened by the finding of his Overcoat in the
surburbs Of the town, and by tracking him
a mile westward where all trace of him had
been lost. Many of the citizens went to
the rescue and search was prosecuted with
vigor. No further developments were
made until between one and two O'Clock,
when, by the roadside, near Economy
Church, three miles west of Morristown,
he was found with four stabs in his breast.
the right jugJllar vein entirely severed, and
q slight cash near the left. When discov-
cred he had been dead only few minutes.
The terrible deed was doubtless perpetrated
by his own hand, with the little blade of
an ordinary pocket knife which was found
near, opened and recognized as his OWP.
Mr.. Conner formerly resided in Norris
town, and bore the name of being an es-
Unable and enterprising business man.
He leaves heartbroken widow, six inter-
esting children, and many friends to mourn
his loss. Pecuniary embarrassment is
thought to have impelled him TO the per
petration of the fearful deed. For several
years lie has been a citizen of Russelville.
Deceased had formerly been a resident of
Sneedville, where he for a time was en-
gagged in business.

A Card.


To the Editors of the Union and American:
If am correctly informed, there are
now in the field no less than dozen can
didates for Register of Davidson county
all claiming to be Conservatives. Being
one of the HUNGRY gentlemen myself, /
naturally feel considerable interest in the
canvass and though vain enough to be-
lieve that l will receive as many votes as
any one of my Conservative opponents,
should we all remain on the track, I am
satisfied that such a course would certainly
result in the election of Radical, and l
am forever opposed to putting any more
Radicals in Office in this county, so long as
there are plenty of our own party equally
qualified to fill them. Therefore l am in
favor of a convention to nominate sulta-
BILE man to make the race; will submit my
name and claims to that convention, and
pledge myself to support the nominee,
whoever he may be.
While it is not my province to dictate,
l would most respectfully suggest to the
candidates for Attorney General, and to
the public, that it would be better to post
pone any convention until about the last
of June or first of July. By that time you
will know what counties will compose this
Judicial District; the candidates will be-
come better known, and the convention
can decide more intelligently and satisfac-
torily, and, furthermore, one convention
will suffice to nominate candidates for all
offices to be filed at the August election.
Respectfully, B. F. BINKLEY.

still the process is "walk along, John" We

A homestead and loan association is or
gauizing in Memphis. Its object is to pro-
vide persons of slender means with home
steads, through a system of easy payments
The scheme is good one, and is sure to
take. A charter is to be obtained from the
Legislature. The capital stock is to be
$500, 600, in shares of 800 each, subscri-
bers for shares to pay three dollars on each
share monthly until paid to par. Why
cannot an organization of the kind men
toned be made to result in great benefit to
the citizens of Nashville, and why cannot
such an institution be established here /?
The originators of such plan could make
it pay handsomely for the trouble, and at
the same time render themselves great
public benefactors.
