CLOSELY PRESSED.


No city in the country can boast Of bet
ter, more experienced, or energetic and
solid merchants than can ours. Though
financial storms, political storms and storms
Of war they have breasted the breakers with
steady helm and unwavering keel. They
have built up euyiable names, extensive
business capacities, and they have gone far
toward the building up of our public insti-
tutions and our city. Many of them are
known far and near, and of such ermine
are their characters, and so FURNISHED IS
their integrity, that no creditor should lose
by them as long as a nickel lasted.
Yet, despite their acknowledged capaCi-
ties and sterling worth. and despite the ac-
knowledged condition of good crops and an
abundant harvest last year, the fact cannot
be denied that some Of our business men
are closely pressed Self-rcliant them
selves, we have unbounded confidence in
their abilities to triumphantly surmount
every obstacle and dash aside every imped-
iment Yet, for the time being, the strin-
gency Of the money market and the gen
eral tightness of the times presses them,
and necessitates the bending of every en-
ergy and the outstanding of every resource.
High rents high taxes, and the difficulty
of making collections from country mer-
chants, are among the causes producing
this state of things. Keep stout hearts and
stiff upper lips, gentlemen, and all will yet
be well. There is a good time coming.

attention to it as one Of our most flourish

Thc SchOoI-Tax Question.

The following are the remarks made by
Justice Paul in the County Court on Tues
day:
He stated to the members of the Court
that one or two years ago every member OF
the Court would gladly have accepted the
proposition to levy a school tax and appro-
pirate it in our own county, instead of pay
ing a heavier tax than is now proposed to
be distributed throughout the State, and
if we fail to accept the proposition and
adopt a system of public schools, and levy
taET. is there not danger of being placed
back to our normal condition, and be sub
iected to a heavier tax than we now ask to
be distributed throughout the State. For
the success and happiness of any State,
county or town depends chiefly on the in
telligence of its inhabitants.
hope therefore, that we will levy this
tax to-day and commence at once to organ
ize this system of schools in order that
the poor man child may have the same
advantage of an education as those of the
richest in the land And when this system
shall have been thoroughly organized, in
stead of crime and murder stalking abroad
in the land, we will have peace. refinement
and happiness. Some years ago I and
others advocated and secured the incor-
poration of the suburbs of the city then
called South Nashville, in order that we
might get up a free school, which was done,
and .he Trimble School was inaugurated,
the first in the State, at TIE expense of the
citizens surrounding it ~ donation and
then by taxation to support it. The result
was that our neighborhood increased in
population in order that people may avail
themselves of the advantage of these
schools. Nashville proper discovering the
effect, inaugurated the public school system
that has been so successfully managed to
the qualification and improvement of the

Let Common Sense Decide.

What is the rational mode Of procedure in case
of general debility and nervous prostration? Does
not reason tell us that judicious stimulation is re-
quired? To resort to violent -purgation in such a
case is as absurd as it would be to bleed starving
man. Yet it is done every day. Yes, this stupid
and unphilosophical practice is continued in the
teeth of the great aet that physical weakness, with
all the nervous disturbances that accompany it.
more certainly and rapidly relieved by Hostetter'
Stomach Bitters than by any other medicine at
present known 1t is true that general debility is
often attended with torpidity irregulariy of the
bowels, and that this symptom must not be over
looked But while the discharge of the waste
matter of the system is expedited regulated its
Uigor must be recruited. The Btters do both. They
combine aperient and ant-bilious properties with
extraordinary tonic power. Even while removing
distractions from the bowels, they tone and
invigorate those organs. Through the stomach,

ILLICIT DESTILLING.
Trial of the BrantIcy Brother

Trial of the Brantlcy BROTHERS.
The Brantley Brothers, three in number,
who were arrested some time since in
Montgomery county, on the charge of
illicit distilling, were arraigned before Com
missioner Noah yesterday, in the Federal
Court Room, at the Capitol, for trial t.
Mop. Smith, United States District Attor-
ney, appeared for the Government, and
VIM. G. Brien, Judge Campbell and An
drew Allison for the defendants. The proof
on the part of the Government was as fol-
lows: That in the year 1868 Charles Brant-
ley erected stillhOuse and took out license
for distilling. This license he failed to re-
new in 1889, and upon the Government
officers visiting the stillhouse, they found
high wines and beer, and discovered where
a fire had been kindled to heat the boiler
and that the still was partially in a condi-
ton to be run.
The proof for the Defendants showed that
the high wines were left there by a man
calling himself Nichol that the defendants
were owners of live stock that corn ground
and the meal boiled was better for the stock
than in its raw and crude state, and that
this was prepared for that purpose, and so
used. Some of the witnesses testified that
they had staid at the house of the defend
ants, and worked there. and that there had
been no liquor distilled there in 1863 The
neighbors also testified that they visited
there frequently, and that the still was kept
open at all times, and that no distilling had
been done during the last year. 1t was in
proof that the still belonged to Charles
Brantley, and that his two other brothers
had no interest in it.
After the conclusion of the arguments of
counsel FIR the government and defend
ants, Commissioner Noah required Charles
Brantley to execute bond for 800 for his
appearance at the next term Of the Federal
Court, and discharged his two brothers.

RreadstuFfs in ENGLAND.

There seems to be a glut of wheat in the
English markets, The Hark Lane FIR
press of Dec. ID, says:
The tickle season, of which so many
make complaints, has again let 60 the frost
and brought us into the region of fog and
damp. The newly planted wheat being
mostly small, will pass the change un-
harmed; and if the south winds blow we
may yet see much seed vegetate before
Christmas But the buoyancy brought by
the frost has gone along with it, and again
the flow of foreign imports has carried the
market of its legs. Granary room has now
become a serious difficulty, while it is an
absolute necessity, for no speculation or
consumptive demand is likely for a time to
diminish our stores. Should this strange
state of things continue, we may be forced
into the use of corrugated roofs for craft,
to save the arrivals from damage, or wood
ed sheds in timber yards. Well may mil
lers held aloof in spite OF a deficient crop
at home. With such abundance at COM
mand, and with many vessels yet on the
way, the relief can scarcely be SO prompt
as desired.
Nor is wheat the only grain at present in
excess, for oats have equally aboUnded, till
rates are below what they have been for
years, and omnibus propnetOrs get their
hose-food at about two-thirds the rates
they were lately paying. In the meantime,
our weekly sales of wheat continue to show
a great diminution from the supplies of
last year; and a time must come for things
to find their natural level The temporary
advance in France, being lost in Paris, is
likely to find an echo III the provinces, but
as yet they come down slowly. 1t is the
same with Belgium, Holland and Germany;
and though Odessa has partly yielded, the
reduction is p9t enough to bring rates on
a parity with our own. 1t is remarkable,
too, that Hungary has been very little
affected by the charges of British markets,
while America has picked up somewhat
since the last mail, as shown by telegram;
and as both Canada and the canals will re-
main blocked till late in the spring, there
is very likely to be a further reaction at
New York, inducing speculative purchase.
