Yes, and not only that, the Exam
iner Office has facilities and can do
just as good work, no doubt, as the
foreign Office to which these "pa-
tronizers" Of the mechanic arts saw
proper to give the work. We think
like the Examiner that the mechan-
zeal part of the name should be
stricken of. Why attempt to hum
bug an honest people by pretended
friendship when such filings are
made at the very foundation and
builder of your now immense struc-
ture? Was it not your county pa
per that did more towards estab-
fishing the Agricultural Society On
a sure basis than any species Of en-
CINE that your Board could possibly
bring to bear, not even excepting
your money? Yes, ignore your
home paper, the friend Of your in
fancy, patronize foreign establish
ment, and when you desire the aid
ofthe press, go abroad and get it,
aud see if you owe anything to an
institution that you say cannot
print your programmes and posters
in a style to suit your fastidious
taste. Shame on you, gentlemen

The CITY Hotel of Nashville.

We call attention to the advertise
ment of this well known hotel in
another column. It is now under
the Proprietorship of Mr.. S. N.
Jones, a gentleman whose reputa-
ton as an experienced landlord and
agreeable host, is as broad as the
South itself. The City Hotel has
been refurnished in elegant style
and supplied with every requisite
for the comfort of guests, its tables
are supplied with all the luxuries
Of home and foreign markets, its
prices are moderate, and those Of
our citizens who may stop there,
can rely on a real, old fashioned
Tennessee welcome from the Pro-
prietor.

The Gilbert Sisters.

This talented troupe of dramatic
artistes, will give three entertain
ments at Antoinette Hall on Mon
day, Tuesday and Wednesday eve
nings of next week. Their reputa-
ton is of the highest order, and as
they present only the legitimate
drama in its chastest features, they
justly deserve the patronage Of all
lovers ofthe stage. The beautiful
and fascinating KATIE GILBERT, con-
stitutes an attractive "star" in the
dramatic constellation; while Mrs.
GILBERT GREY ranks as an actress of
superior merit These ladies will be
supported by a talented stock com
pany and our citizens may expect q
rare dramatic feast on the nights
mentioned. See advertisement.

The Giles County POmOIOgieal So
eiefV.

A call appears in to days CrTI-
ZEN signed by several members Of
this society, requesting a full at
tendance at a meeting to be held
at Antoinette Hall on the 10th of
next month. The object of the
meeting is to discuss the propriety
Of having an exhibition at an early
day, which will not be q display of
fruits alone, as the name Of the So
ciety would lead one to suppose,
but one that viii also offer opportu-
mites for a spirited competition in
the various branches of gardening
and the different departments of
housekeeping. The ladies partic-
ularly viii be requested to contrib
ute specimens of their skill in the
cuisine, pantry, dairy and garden
If the members take necessary ae-
ton, as we sincerely hope they will,
the society can give an exhibition
at once creditable to itself and the
magnificent county it represents
Mr. A. Cox, with his customary
liberality, has rendered the use of
his beautiful hall, free of charge,
for the occasion, and besides, he
proposes to contribute largely to-
wards rendering the exhibition a
success. Other members in this
place will act in the same generous
spirit. This movement is certainly
in the right direction and nothing
is better calculated to stimulate
both personal and county pride and
excite that vigorous development
of our agricultural resources, which
is always superinduced by enlight-
ened competition. Besides, such an
exhibition Of fruits and flowers as
the people of this county can give,
with some little effort, aided as they
will be by nature and a cultivated
taste, would offer ianumerable at
fractions to our own citizens, as
well as those from other counties,
and awaken a commendable spirit
of improvement and progress in our
midst. By all means let us have
the exhibition.

II. SoLINsKY mot our enterpris-
ingmerchant, L. SoLNsKY,) and two
pugnacious Teutons, bearing the
fearful names of GRINDsroEE and
FLAxMAN, whose ancestors first
obtained a glimpse of life in that IA
nous country
''Where the castled crag OF DrachenfeIs
Looks DER the wide and winding Rhine"
were engaged in an almost intermin-
able series of broils on Monday and
Tuesday last and underwent in con-
sequence a legion of fines that
would cause the pocket book Of an
ordinary mortal to look as if the
Grand Jury had been sitting on it
for years. Their difficulties arose
about the sale Of a pair of shoes
worth the almost fabulous sum of
81, 20, and for thirty-six hours these
irate gentlemen INDUCED in an ex-
haustless variety of explosives and
Dutch ''damns," well calculated to
produce odors of birthstone and I'M
pleasant visions of Lucifer. The
Grindstone was ground down TO
the tune Of $3.50 and costs. The
Flaxman was faxed out OF the same
amount, and he of the Polish sobri-
equet had SO and costs jerked out
of his wallet in the twinkling of an
eye by Justices ABERNATHY and
ALExAxDER. "Then silence like 3
poultice came TO heal the blows Of
sound"

From all parts of the county we
hear discouraging reports Of the
wheat and cotton crops. Several
farmers tell US they do not expect
to make four bushels Of wheat to
the acre. The wet weather during
the early part of the week only rem
ders the prospect more discourag-
ing. Corn, however, looks finely
and the fruit crop promises to be
unusually abundant.

FEMALE SUFFRAGE.-The first debate be-
tween Gen. Jas. A. Hall, Collector OF Waldo-
boro in this State and Mrs. Livermore. of Bos-
ton, came off Monday evening in course in
Salem The Boston Transcript says:
Neither of these able orators had ever met in
debate before, and neither of them had even
heard each other speak. The committee ar
ranged that Mrs.Lvermore should open with
a twenty minutes speech; that Gen. Hall
should reply at the same length; then Mrs.
Livermore for twenty minutes; then again
Gen. Hall tor the same time; finally closing
rejoinder from each of ten minutes ONLY The
debate occasioned the greatest interest both
of the speakers proved themselves strong and
adroit debaters; the utmost fairness and cour-
tesy characterized their arguments, and the
audience being apparently about equally di-
vided, did full justice to the good hits of both
sides. The attention of the audience not only
did not flag but demanded continuance Of
the debate ioI on additional speech from Mrs.
Livermore and reioinder in conclusion from
Gen. Hall. The debate thus lasted two hours,
and held the audience intensely interested to
the close of it. 1t is needless to report the
points" Mrs. Livermore's arguments we've
strongly put in terse, telling Saxon words; and
Gen. Hall in language always courtly and
sometimes quite eloquent, maintained the be-
nefcence of the existing order. Both speakers
received the congratulations OF their hearers
after the close, and Leither of them said word
| to offend the taste or wound the sensibilities
| of their opponents. Altogether the evening
| proved great hit, thoroughly ENJOYABLE and
| likely to arouse healthy thought,
