no The following are some of the reasons why
farmers prefer the Wood Mower:
1st. 1t is constructed on correct mechanical
principles, every principle about it having been
tested by actual use.
"a. 1t is made of the very best material all the
tlnper being thoroughly seasoned, and ali matals
selected with reference to their strength and
durability.
Sd. 1t is made by a company who have in their
employ the best mechanical talent that capital
can procure, and under the immediate supervi-
sion OF its inventor, Walter a. Wood whose re-
will question,
4th; 1t has been IN being long enough SC that
details OF its manufacture quite perfected for
no mower can be perfect when first made, how
ever correct the principles upon which it is con-
strueted, as nothing short of actual use can de-
monstrate where the weak points are, 50 they
can be strengthened for the future
9Th. The watchword of the Walter A. Wood
Moving and Reaping Co., is "Progress" steady
in their construction.
9Th. That while its inventor adds all real i'm
provements, he rejects many of the so-called
ones, which although they may possess some no
vel features, have nothing in reality OF utility
about them, and their addition to a mower
makes it a complicated mass of mechanical no.
tions instead of what it should be, simple, eff
cient and durable grass cutter.

THE TIME FOR THE ELECTION
0FJUDGES OFSHELBY COUNTY.

The doctors of law in our city differ
themselves as to when the election of
inferior Judges for the county should
come off, under the provisions of the new
Constitution. Some contend the time is
in May, while those of a contrary opinion
hold that the election properly should be
held in August, Our position is neutral
in the matter, and we may elect to lean
TO one side or the other. However, our
present beliefs, to be consistent with all
parts 9th law, that the fourth Thursday
in May ought not to be passed over with
out holding an election for these Offices
1t might be decided that the May cleo
ton was not in accordance with lev; If
so. no harm could result, but if II was
the time intended, and preparations were
not made to present the names of our
candidates, the Radicals would, in that
instance, take advantage of the sltua-
ton, and, with no opposition, walk over
the track. We are, then, in favor of
calling our friends together and making
nominations and if it is decided to have
the election next month, it will be easy
for us to elect gentlemen of our own
selection. f.
That the Shelby county Judicial cleo
tions were intended to be excepted from
the general time for holding elections in
August under the new fundamental law,
cannot be doubted, for we have the evi-
dence of the gentlemen who drew the
section. of the schedule that was thought
TO do so. Still the language of the law
must be sufficient to convey the idea
without appealing to the individual opin-
ions of delegates who happened to be in
the Convention at the framing of the
Constitution. If our lawmakers have
not made their work explicit enough,
IL IL reflection on their intelli-
gence, and calamity that must
be borne by the people. Will Colonel
Heiskell, with his honest country face,
explain to his constituents how this mis-
take. attended with so much annoyance,
was made? Can it be said that the
boosted legal talent of Shelby county is
unequal to the task of writing plain
section of consultation so that every
one may understand III What was

Stephens, at, that he did not suggest
language to the committee making its
repart. that could have been made intel
Hgible? The people ofthe State Of Ten
nessee have, since the Democracy has
gotten into power, been most miserably
imposed on by those who would pretend
to make our laws. The representation
from this county, especially, caui in truth
be denominated legal butchers.
1t is intended, however, tomorrow, to
publish the opinion of some Of the lead
ing members of our bar as to the time in
dispute so that the people may judge Of
the matter for themselves. II the first
section Of the schedule does not intend
to grant the people of this county the
privilege Of holding their election in
May, then il means nothing whatever,
