Mr.. John Friersoa. Democratic capdi-

Mr. John Frierso6, Democratic caDdi-
date for Floater, publishes very salts
factory card in tO-day's paper, fefutiug
certain charges made against him. In
this conneorion, it is appropriate for us
to say a good word for Mr.. Frierson.
He has done much to build up the mate
rial interests of Maury county, and es-
pecially has he labored zealousiy, and
efficiently, to benefit our farmers. We
believe it was Mr.. Frierson and Col.
Thos. w. Keesee who first attempted TO
build up cotton market at Columbia,
ia order to secure for the farmer an OPP
portunity to sell his cotton here, for as
much as he could get by shipping, and
thereby save him the trouble and ex-
pense of going to Nashville, or waiting
on his commission merchant. On many
occasions our cotton merchants paid
more for cotton than could have been
obtained on the same day at Nashville.
We have very kind feelings for Mr.. Tim
mons we esteem him for his many vir-
tues OF head and heart. He is one Of
our rising young men, and this makes
us deeply regret his present step. But
what are we to think of his present at
titude? He is running for FloateI
against the nominee of his party, and
his candidacy threatens to elect Radi'
cal. So we'll drilled is the Radical party
that its leaders in this county can pu'
out a candidate forty-eight hours before
the election, and secure his unanimous
support by the party, and Oh =reby elect
him. The Democratic party in Willlam'
son and Maury counties does not possess
majority sufficiently large 20 divide
and beat the Radicals, and two Demo
cratic can iidates will insure the election
of aRadical. We do hope Mr.. Timmons
wiHwithdraw, and not De he means o.
defeating his party-the principles o
which we know he reveres and honors

1866, by Mrs. Jennie johnson, mother of Cap
johnson:
DR.. John Bull-Dear Sir: My husband, DIR.
G. s. johnson, was O skillful surgeon and
in Central New York, where he died
leaving the above @. p. johnson t. nv care.
At thirteen years of age he had a chronic diar-
rhea and scrofuls, for which gave your Ssr-

Heure.entatlye and FIoater.

We now have three candidates for the
Legislature Major Jas. II. Akin, the
regular nominee, Arch Hughes, jr., the
independent, and Albert Green, cold,
the Radical candidate. The Republicans
speak lightly of Greea's candidacy, and
pretend Ihey will 40. support him. But
every intelligent man, who is acquaint-
ed with the instincts of negroes and
Radicals, knows 10 The contrary. He
will receive nearly. If not quite, all of
the support of his party. Now. if Mr..
Hughes Thinks that bis own strength
amounts TO apyLhipg, he must know
that his running endangers che election
of a Democrat, by dividing the vote !;
and If he has no sire 1gth, why will he
make discord in our ranks, to the det
riment of The party, without shadow
of hope of election? ALI of the Demo-
cratic candidates, foreseeing the dangers
ahead, agreed to submit their claims to
the arcitrament of a primary election.
That election, as far as we Know, was
fsirly and honorab.y conducted. Major
Akin received the nomination, and, ac-
cording to the previous understanding,
not only the candidates ruled off by the
election, but their supporters, are in
honor bound to support him.
We have two candidates for Floater,
John Frierson, the fairly elected nomi-
nee, and w. ii. Timmons, the indepen-
dent candidate. No Radical has yet an
nounced himself, but may do so at any
time i'm either county. If he does, he
will be elected. The Radicals can Or
ganize their forces in forty-eight hours.
We have not a word TO say against Mr..
Tmmons, personally. He is a quiet,
intelligent. thinking, honest man, and
our best friend, and only exercises the
right of an American citizen in making
this race but we have in various ways
urged upon the people the absolute ne
cessity OF holding primary election
and abiding its decision, and shall sup
port The nominee. Williamson said
through her delegates to the inter
county convention held here in June,
that she would support our nominee;
yet her paper refuses to hoist the name
of John Frierson at its mast head. The
Revie,o, time honored and old. has fire.
quently urged Maury to put out her
nominee; and now after she has put out
her candidate, is as silent as the grave.
The people of that county look to the
Reuieao for information on this subject,
bu. it is like sheep before the shearer,
dumb.

Teunessee Conference.

The annual session of the Tennessee
Conference of the NJ. 4. Church, South,
opened in McKendre Church, Nashville,

finest presiding officers in the land. The
Conference adjourned last Wednesday,
after sitting one week. Below we give
a list of appointments for this and ad-
Joining Districts, for the ensuing year.
DIR. Green, who has presided over this
district with so much ability and sue
cess for several years, has been appoints
ed Financial Secretary of the proposed
darling dream of his great heart for
years. If anybody can make the Uni
versity possible, DR.. Green is the man.
While we regret to lose him, we rejoice
that he IS succeeded by Rev. VIM. Doss,
an able p, eacher and good man. CO.
lumbia S;ation has had her wish graft
fed, and DIR. Smith has been sent to US.
We are'glad of it, for be Is an ornament
to his church, and bleSses it with godli-
ness aud prosperity wherever he is
placed. Spring Hill has also had her
wish gratified, aud Rev. +. G. Irvine
has been sent back to them. Not only
his church, but everybody around
Spring Hill, cherish him as scarcely no
man was ever cherished by lis people.
They can't help it, because he deserves
it by his holy life, and incompatible
christian conduct. Surely, Spring Hill
ought 10 be The best place in the State,
with Rev. Mr.. Irvine and Rev. f. A.
Thomson for its preachers.

On Wednesday of last week, about
10X o'clock in the forenoon, three dis
tinct reports, as of heavy artillery, were
heard at Ashwood, and various other
points in this county. The sound appear
ed to be very low, quite near the ground,
and went off with a rumbling sound.
There was an interval of about three Sec
ouds between eachreport, and some per-
sons thought they felt the ground shake.
The sky was perfectly clear at the time,
but the atmosphere a little hazg. The
same sounds were heard in Columbia.
Mr.. John Houser, of Eigbyvjlle, says
that a rum bling sound passed through
the air, and that whatever caused it was
seen by Mr.. Walker to explode 10 the
direction of Mt. Pleasant.
We understand that the colored peo-
pie are making extensive preparations
for their Fair, which commences on the
3lst Those having the management,
are right meu in the right place, and are
bound to make it a success. Let all
good citizens encourage so worthy an
enterprise.

A Maury County Belle in Italy

A Lake Como correspondent OF the
Philadelphia EulLetin writes as follows
of Miss Antoinette Polk, native of this
county, now residing in Italy. She is q
daughter of The late Andrew j. Polk, of
Ashwood, in this county:
"The Princess Marguerite admires
Miss Polk very much. She often says
playfully if she were man she should
fall in love with her. On Monday she
talked great deal with our beautiful
American belle. The Prince also enter
ed into the conversation sometimes, and
when he and the Princess regretted Miss
Folks projected visit to America this
winter, Prince Humbert said, playfully,
he should issue an order prohibiting her
from leaving the country. As the
Princess Marguerite admired Miss
Folks toilette, must give it among the
rest of my chi1ons. The long fiounced
skirt and overdress were of white null,
with dark blue velvet sash and bows a
blue velvet jacket, trimmed with broad
white point lace, hung over her arm; at
her belt was a rocco chatelaine, set
with rock turquoises and garnets, with
enameled chains for fan, scent bottle,
portemonnaie, .parasol, etc, each of
which was ornamented in rocco, as the
chatelaine. She wore Spanish hat of
blue velvet, with long blue and white
ostrich plumes; her splendid chestnut
hair, which is all her own, was let down
in long, rich loops on her neck.
"'How pretty your hair is, said the
Princess Marguerite, with the naivete
of girl. Il whish 1 had worn mine so
to-day. 1 had it put up high on account
of the fashion, and it is not half so nice.

On EvEEyBoDY's Observation-Disclosures of
the great National Regeneration of Health,
PLANTATION BITTERs, are on everybody's
tongue. This gratuitous viva voce advertising
is better than all the paid-for putting to which
owners of brogue bitters are obliged to resort.
1t has a spontaneous heartiness about it which
carries conviction TO the mind of the auditor
But it is a well-knowD fact that the proprietors
of the PLANTATION BITTERs have never relied
upon newspaper bolsterirg to establish the

ssTlae RuraI Sun,'

Is the name of a new sixteen page agri-
cultural paper started at Nashville. 1t
is beautifully printed, and ably edited,
J. B. Killebrew being chief editor, and
assisted by Prot. Hunter Nicholson and
Prof. J. NJ. Stafford. No wonder its
editorials are able and brilliant, when
il has such accomplished writers for its
editors. "The Sun" says it is establish
ed on a firm money basis, and there
leed ue no fear of it's ever quitting. In
every respect it is equal to any of its
northern contemporaries, and we hear
tily recommend it to the farmers of our
county. The chief editor, Mr.. Kille>
brew, has been the agricultural editor
OF the Nashville Union and American
for several years, aud has shown mark
ed ability. He is not only possessed of
scientific knowledge, but he has been
and is still a practical farmer,-and
what is more, a successful one, We
have been informed oy those that know,
that he is as successful in practice as he
is learned and captivating in theory
which is saying great deal. He is
empbatically useful man to this great
State, especially since it is totally unde-
veloped, and needs developing. He
has spoken to the people in nearly all
the counties of Middle Tennessee, and
urgeu them to improve their farms and
their educational institution. Upon
the successful teaching of these two
grand themes, depends the future greats
ne3s aud prosperity of our State. Being
thus thoroughly acquainted with the
soils of the various counties of Middle
Tennessee, he can easily instruct the
farmers upon all questions relating to
the successful management of their
farms. Prof. Stafford, one of the assist
ant editors, has been State Geologist for
years, and his contributions to the pa
per will have an especial value. Prot.
Nicholson, the other assistant editor,
is Professor of Agriculture in the
University of East Tennessee, Ard our
readers know something of his graceful
and elegant pen. He is an accomplished
Gtte,'dteu;', and for years past devoted
almost his entire attention 10 agricul-
tural matters, and articles from his pen
are always pregnant with practical sug-
gestions which never fail to attract the
attention of common sense people.
Surely, with such corps of editors, the
Rural Sun must become a power in our
land-aud power for good.
