Death of wiley BoMman.

by Thomas Sharp, TODD Sharp and Fannie Bow
man died on Monday night at II o'clock after
intense suffering.
He was horribly cut to pieces and had been
unconscious after receiving his wounds until
last Sunday when he was in his right mind and
told his mother that he had some money in his
pocket (about twenty dollars at the time of the
difficulty. A colored woman had his pocket
book, but when she gave it up there was no
money in it. He thought at that time Sunday
that he would get we'll, but his relief was only

Resignation of Judge Nelson.

Hon. T. A. r. Nelson has resigned his posi-
ton as one of the Judges of the Supreme Court
and will be succeeded by Mr.. James T. Shields
Of Granger county, who has been appointed by
Gov. Brown to FIJI the vacancy. The Governor
consented to the request of Judge Nelson with
reluctance, and the latter gentleman received
the official acceptance of his resignation only
yesterday.
During the time Judge Nelson has been on
the Bench he has won golden opinions from the
members of the Bar with whom he was brought
in contact. His ability was known and recog-
Rcncb bn his mrs 10 e Of up
in all its intricacies, together with the sound
ness of his opinions delivered, were realized
only after he had demonstrated the possession

jurist.
Judge Nelson will carry to his retirement the
good wishes of his friends and the hope that the
step he has taken may not prove a source of
future regret to him, as it is now with them.

too, a. xo.,. Land ,r,,,es gl. :

The County Court Clerk yesterday informed
us that great many persons leave their real
estate deeds ut his Office without providing for
their acknowledgment or doing anything fur
Their with them. Some persons perhaps think
nothing is required except that they file them in
the clerks office when in fact that amounts to
Just nothing ct all. These deeds have been ac-
cumulating over since the year 1900 and they
now amount to a bushel or more, and in their
present condition are worth less than so much
blank paper. A deed TO be valid must be ac-
knowledged and registered. The deeds in ques-
ton convey property worth, some Of them $50
and others $1,000. 1t is serious TO CON
template the consequences that might
ensue from such carelessness Every one of
these worthless deeds is broken link in the
chain of transfers. and from that date the title
is necessarily defective. Who is safe How
much of our city may be held with an uncertain
tenure. Should deed made by one of the old
farmers who once owned all the suburbs and
part of the city, be found among the rubbish,
what might be the result2 1t is well enough to
say that the clerk is not at all responsible for
the safe keeping of these deeds, as they have no
business to be on file in his office. A man came
into the office the other day and called for one
which, upon reflection, he said he had left there
in 1912, nearly thirtyyears agol After the lapse
of 50 long time, the parties to the deed are often
| dead and the witnesses gone. In such cases,
only by tedious and expensive process of law
can the title be made good Parties who have
deeds filed should come forward and see to them
| at once.

Shot and Killed.

On last Friday morning Isaac L. Gully was
accidentally shot and instantly killed. Tho
facts seem to be as follows, as gathered from the
witnesses who deposed before jury of inquest;
The unfortunate young man, in the sixteenth
year of his age, in company with his brother,
uncle and Peter Stuart, was out on rabbit
hunt. When about three-quarters of mile
from home and while endeayoring to see the
head of rabbit which was only partially visi-
BILE, he was down on his knees, while at the
same time Mr., Stuart, who had the gun in hand,
had also squatted down near to and opposite
the young man, both peeping and endeavor-
ing to discover the head of the rabbit in order to
shoot it in the head, and while they were in this
condition the gun unfortunately fired, the ball
taking effect in the right cheek, near the lock
of the jaw, and passing out on the opposite side
Of the neck a little below the butt Of the ear,
causing instant death He was taken to his
home and on this day. at clock, p. NJ, was
inferred at the family grave yard, in the pres
ence Of q large crowd of persons, who fully
sympathized with the widowed mother and
friends. j. w. WALKER

Senator Brownlow left this city yesterday for
Washington City, accompanied by his son, Col
onel Jno. b. Brownlow, to be present at the
opening Of Congress
The Senator's many friends will rejoice to
know that his health is such that he can perform
such journey, in this inclement season, and at
his post in the Senate. While there is not one
man in ten thousand who would think of per-
forming the arduous duties Of his position who
are no stronger physically than he, he knows
no such thing as giving up to difficulties. While
he lives he will work lie will cease to work
and live at the same time. As we have taken
occasion to remark before, he is present at the
roll-cals of the Senate with greater regularity
than almost any other member of that Body.
He carries with him the best wishes of his con-
etitIants

Accidentally Shot.

Mr.. John Dickinson, cadet of the East
but not seriously hurt, yesterday, at the rail-
road station, just before the Eastern train ar
rived.
He had stepped from an omnibus and at
tempted to bring his pistol at half Geek while
brought to full cock, and in letting it down his
thumb slipped from the hammer and the pistol
fired. He Immediately walked over to the
Atkin. House, SCARCELY thinking that he was
hurt, but upon examination it was found that
the ball had entered slightly on the inside of
the thigh, and passing over to the outside had
lodged under the skin. Dr. Jno, NJ. Boyd was
called in and extracted the ball without any
difficulty. The wound is about eight inches
in length but was only flesh wound, and with
care will not be attended with any serious re-
suit.
Mr.. Dickinson is from Morristown, whore his
rants reside

The Resources of Tennessee and their De.
yeIQDupnt.

have just read q communication from the
pen of Tennessee's eminent geologist DR.. j. M.
Stafford, which, in my humble opinion, is enti-
tied to the cordial consideration of our General
Assembly. An act of Congress authorizes the
United States Coast Survey to extend its work
into any State in which geological survey is in
progress. For the present these labors are eX-
tended to the triangulation of the area of such
States, work which, if secured for Tennessee
would be unquestionably of great value to us
In this way we would obtain, what we have
never yet had, an accurate map of our State. 1t
would give the basis of a correct presentation of
the geological Typographical and other natural
features of the State. For the State TO do this
alone would De an expensive work. By simply
reviying the geological survey of the State, we
can have this important work accomplished for
us by the General Government at very small
outlay to the State
Considering the small requisite outlay, the
Legislature could do nothing which would SO
certainly rebound to the material prosperity of
Tennessee 1t is such things which make the
resources of the State known, not only to our
selves, but to those outside of it,
y development of our material resources can
not be had while we are in ignorance of their
character and extent. 1t is true the finances OF
the State are at q low ebb, but the only expense
| necessary TO be incurred by the State TO secure
this lasting and important work. is whatever
salary, large or small, it shall agree to give to
| DR.. Stafford to revive and carry on the survey.
| Let not the cost of c few hundred dollars deter
us from securing this much needed work, which
| the United States is ready to do for us, if we
will but place ourselves in position to receive
its benefits. -NGshrille Banner,

happen to say anything this man don't like, or

KNOXVILLE Tenn, Dec G, 1871.
The shipments during the past week were
small; Five or six cars of Corn, at Ga to Coo,
free on cars two cars Of Hay, at 81 90 per hun
bred on cars; one car Dried Fruit, on venture
to Eastern market and several cars of Hogs TO
the South.
We can dispose of the surplus Corn of the
country, if farmers will bring it forward There
will also be q demand for Bulk Meats and Ba-
con at low prices. When your Meats are ready,
let them come forward. The first market will
be the best, doubtless.
The stringency in the Money Market contin-
ues. Nothing can relieve us but the sale of our
surplus produce.
The shipment of Hay from upper East Ten
nessee should be n source Of revenue to the
producers but the imperfect manner Of bailng
has operated against the shipment Efforts will
be made to correct this defect, and we hope to
see large quantities sent to the Southern market
during the season
