Crockett County.

This new county, formed of frac-
tions of Madison, Haywood, Dyer
and Gibson, elected its officers, and
organized its courts some weeks
ago. The people of the various
fractions composing this county, vo-
ted more than year ago, and al
though carrying the question by the
constitutional majority, were es-
topped by an injunction, from organ
izing. On petition to the late reg
ular session of the legislature, an
enabling act was passed, under the
provisions of which the election a.
boVe referred to was held. Not
outstanding this vote, constitu-
tional as to majorities, and the or
ganization which promptly follow
ed, another injunction has been
filed, which will at least suspend
the new county. This last injunc-
ton alledges the unconstitutional
ty of the legislative act, want Of the
constitutional territory, fraud in
the election held, and that the Mad
ison fraction, counting those not
voting, did not give the necessary
legal majority.
This is fair and impartial state
ment of the situation, aud while it
is clear that majority of the voters
in the Madison fraction, if not the
constitutional majority, are for the
new county, it is equally clear that
there is a determined opposition in
the same fraction, that will spare
neither time, labor or expense, to
defeat the whole scheme. We res
pect that pride in, and love for, ira
ditiOnal names, associations, and To-
cation, based as it is, upon the high
est and tenderest reverence, for old
homesteads, and the graves of an
cestorI, as well as glory in the
deeds, and traditions of a historic
county, which inspires, no doubt,
this opposition. But our position
ROto is what it has always been, if
the people want the new county,
and are legally entitled to it, we
want them to have it, recognizing
and endorsing the justice of the hy-
pothesis, that "the people are, OF
ought to be, the best judges of their
own interests"
Under the circumstances we sim
cerely deplore this controversy, for
it is quite evident to us that a very
large majority, even of the Madison
fraction desire the new county. We
regret to part with any portion of
historic old Madison, yet if any por-
ton of her people desire other asso-
Citations, we say to them depart in
peace" AS to the new county of
Crockett, we hope that the eUiU of
the people, under the constitution,
will triumph over all opposition.

what Dyspepsia may End in.

Indigestion is not dangerous, say the fac
ulty. Perhaps not in itself, while Il re-
mains mere indigestion; bat look At the
consequences to which it may lead, and Of
ten does lead when it becomes 4 chronic
disease. A spark Of fire Is a small thing;
pressure Of the foot Will put it out; a breath
VIII extinguish it. Yet it may fire a pow
der mill, or kindle 4 flame that will con-
sumo 4 city. In like manner indigestion
may produce gastritis, cancer Of the stom-
ach, CONGESTION Of the bowels, apoplexy, liv-
er disease, and many other dangerous mala-
dies. Is it not wise, then, to check it in
the germ: Nothing Is more clearly and in
disputably established than that Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters Will eradicate dyspep-
STA IN ali its stages. The true policy, how
ever, is to extinguish it in the first stages
with this wholesome, powerful, and infalli-
bic tonic and Alternative. II Is easier to
queneh a spark than fame, and it is east
er 10 cure dyspepsia when it's first deYel-
oped, than when it has made Roadway by
neglect, and become complicated with other
ailments. There is not the shadow Of a
doubt that the bitters are as directly aHtag-
onistic to dyspepsia as water is TO fire.
There are thousands OF cases on record
proving this fact. The remedy Is safe and
| agreeable. All the liquors Of commerce
| prescribed - stimulants leave a sting be,
hind. But the sting is taken out Of the
| spnituous basis OF this great remedy by
vegetable medication, and moreover, tho
| stimuIant thus medieated is Of exceptional
/ purity. OF all tonics taken As safeguards
or remedies for fever and ague, bilious re
mitteHts, and other epidemies, it is the only
one that can uniformly be depended on.

MISS OLIVE LOGAN.

We announce with certainty that
this gifted woman will deliver too
lectures at Tomlin's Hall, in this
city, on the 4th and 5th Of April.
The bare notice of this fact will
attract at once the attention of the
public, and secure for Miss Logan
an overlooking house ofour best peo-
pie. Her lectures are noble in NOR
al tone, yet never descending to
can't-rich in Illustration, and
sparkling with satire. Olive Lo-
gan's audiences are thoroughly de-
lighted with her,and that is enough
TO say.
In Swinging around" the circle of
our southern homes Miss Logan has
met everywhere with the warmest
greetings, and our people we are
sure, will not be behind others in
paying the proper tribute to this
genial and cultivated lady. Every
true woman, who feels All honest
pride in the advancement of her
sex, will be sure to go out and hear
Miss Logan.

THE ADVOCATE.
HsW its Publication BENEFITS
Jackson.

All tho readers of the WHO AND
TRIBUNE have heard of, if they
have not seen The American Earn-
er's Advocate. But few realize,
however, the extent of its circula-
ton and its consequent influence in
giving character TO our beautiful
city abroad. Ten thousand copies
are now printed Of each number,
and as over thirty papers, III fifteen
different States, are Offering it as a
premium to their subscribers, as is
the WING AND TRIBUNE, and the
number is increasing daily, we haz-
ard nothing in stating that before
the close of the year the circulation
will exceed thirty thousand copies.
Now, if city wants to grow and
prosper, like an individual, it must
be advertised.
Occasionally we see a city govern
ment with enterprise enough to as
sist its citizens in thus advertising,
but it is rather unfrequent; and this
service is usually shirked upon in
dividuaI citizens.
A leading principle in advertising
is to keep the name of the party, or
of the article, constantly before the
people, in as favorable a light as
possible. This is accomplished by
the Advocate.
A large number of papers in eve
~ State in the Union have noticed
the publication of the Advocate,
and universally with favor. This
places the name of Jackson before
many thousands of readers.
Letters of commentator and of
inquiry, in reference to living at the
South, and of this locality, are re-
ceived by almost every mail, and
are promptly answered. This much
the Advocate is doing simply as a
paper, without regard to the inter-
est it represents as organ of the Ag-
ricultural Congress. Though we

The publishers have not specially
solicited the home patronage. II
can derive its support altogether
from abroad. Every member of this
community may, however, assist to
extend its circulation, and thereby
enhance indirectly their own in.
terests.
We ask favorable consideration
of these advantages from our citi-
zens, both of city and country. AS
offered IN clubs, or with other pub.
locations, it is the cheapest paper
published in the United States
without question.

Jackson Abroad.

If any of our citizens are incredu-
lous in regard to the fact that our
movements are watched with a
searching eye by people abroad, we
beg leave to undeceive them. a
man said to us the other day, when
we were attempting to portray the
advantages and the character which
our recent railroad vote gave this
city, that nobody outside of jack
son either knew or cared anything
about our vote. Memphis has heard
of, and cares about it; SomerYille
has heard of it, and is now distress
ed because Fayette county did not
meet us half way. Why they have
even heard of it at Bolivar and
Brownsville, and at all intermediate
landings; and we copy below, the
evidence that the people of Middle
Tennessee have heard of it, and are
rejoicing over it. That live paper,
the Columbia Herald, has not only
heard of our vote but rejoices in it,
and gives us reason to believe that
she will throw out her long and
strong arms to embrace US. ., yes;
our action is known wherever the
people read; for the WING AND
TRIBUNE goes wherever that acorn
plishment has reached: Here is
what the Herald says about it.
The enterprising people of Jack
son, Tennessee, recently voted 1925,
900 for railroad purposes, fifty
thousand of which win be appropri-
ated to the building of the railroad
to the Tennessee River, which will
intersect with one of the branches
of the Duck River Valley Railroad.
Only eleven men in that town voted
against the tax. Will Columbia be
behind Jackson? Jackson already
has several roads, but the people
knew that a town, in order to grow
into a city, must have many rail-
roads. No consideration in money
Wouldpersuade the people of Colum-
bia to do away with the Nashville
and Decatur Railroad, and yet the
Duck River Valley Railroad will
add even more than that road
to the wealth and population of our
town. We already had a fine turn
pike, and daily communication with
Nashville and Pulaski, but the
Duck River Railroad will bring us
the trade of two or more counties
which now do not contribute any
thing to the growth and prosperity
of Columbia. Railroads must be
built by the towns and counties
through which they run, as they
profit them much more than they
do capitalists. Columbia has an
opportunity to make herself
wealthy city-will she do it?

LESS than Cost"

nish his paper to them for "less than

If we can afford to furnish you q
paper for a year for less than cost,
you ought to feel interested enough
to subscribe for it," But they don't
subscribe for it worth a cent. The

That sterling HeIcS paper, the
Louisville Courier Journal, has
this to say about the difficulty be-
tween the Nashville DaiIies and the
country press. The COmier-Jou'-
nal, rs a netcS paper, is worth a
dozen of the Nashville papers, and
with it, we don't miss the Nash
vile dailieS in the least:
We publish this morning q spe-
cial department of Tennessee news,
and shall continue to do so until the
Nashville papers shall be able to re-
sumo their occupation of this parti-
cular field. 1t is true that our cir
culation in Tennessee is as large, or
larger, than that of the Nashville
papers, but hitherto we have turned
over to them exclusive possession
of local topics, supplying our Ten
nessee readers with equivalents in
other important spheres of news
paper supply and demand which
the limited capacity of the Nash
vile papers could not compass
But as the rupture between the lat
ter and those indefatigable purVey-
ors of State affairs, the local press,
deprives our audience in Tennessee
of very needful service by way of
Nashville, we will furnish them by
way of Louisville. We receive Ten
nessee Weeklies, and read them, too,
finding them well worth the ex-
change. Doubtless the Nashville
dailies will come i'll time to see the
error of what is really an efecta-
ton. But until they do the Con-
will not consider the

Equitable insurance Company.

We understand that there is an
impression in the minds of some Of
our citizens, that DIR. w. w. Berry,
the President OF the Equitable Fire
Insurance Co., Of Nashville, is the
same person as the Berry who OBJ
tanned an infamous notOrity some
years ago, as the President of that
great swindling, bogus, wildcat
concern, tie Southern Fire LaSUT-
ance Company. This is a great
mistake. The President of the
Southern Fire was j. Il. Berry, of
Indiana, one of the numerous
"Carpet-baggers" which swarmed
upon us at the close OF the war,
like the lOcusts Of Egypt, while DR..
Berry OF the Equitable" is an old,
honored and wealthy citizen of
Nashville, where lac has resided for
upwards of thirty years. During
all OF this time he has been engaged
IN the Drug business, and is widely
known as the President of the
Third National Bank, and Senior
partner of the old and honorable
Drug house of Berry, DemOville &
Co.
We know what we say when we
assert that he has no connection,
either as officer, stakeholder, policy
holder, or otherwise with the de-
funct Southern Insurance Company,
The Union and american OF the
Gath inst, speaking of the Equita-
BILE says:
''This is y home company, iden-
tilted with the interests of our
city, represented by solid business
men and controlled by persons OF
experience, energy and integrity"
j. o. McGhee is the manager OF
the Branch Office of the Equitable
in Jackson, and some of our most
substantial citizens are stockholders
in the company.
1t has met its losses promptly and
literally, as the certificates of hel
policy holders show, and we have
no doubt will continue to do so in

A Negro Shot and Hung by Mob
in the Public square.

a Nashville, March 25.- Sunday
morning negro named David Jones
robbed the house of a farmer named
hurry, and when the latter offered
resistance the negro shot him dead.
The murderer was arrested and put
in jail at nine O'Clock. Tonight an
Infatuated mob broke open the Jail,
and after shooting the prisoner
twice, parties in the crowd put a
rope round his neck and dragged
him out on the public square and
strung him up to a lamp-post. Be-
fore he was dead, six policemen
rushed to the spot and, drawing
their pistols, kept the mob at bay,
and cut down the negro and carried
him to the police station, He was
fatally wounded by the bullets,
however, and will not live until
midnight. The mob are now dis
persed, and two companies Of mill
tary are on the grounds.-4ppeaI

Horace Greeley says that if free
trade is made a plank in the Cincin-
natl platform he may be counted out.
The reformers should be willing to
indulge Mr.. Greeley his tariff notions
as far as practicable for the sake of
more fundamental questions which
are involved in the coming struggle,
knowing very well, as we all do, that
free trade is a sure thing, which no
power can resist many years longer.
The counting Of Horace Greeley
out of the new movement would
make an ugly gap.-C0tTier-JOuTHdL.
