A story is told of an editor who died,
went to heaven, and was denied admittance,
lest he should meet some delinquent SUBJ
scriber, and bad feelings would be engen-
dered in that peaceful cline. Having to go
somewhere, the editor hext appeared in the
region of darkness, but was positively re-
fused admittance, as the place was full of
delinquent subscribers. YEARLY the editor
turned back to the celestial city, and was
met by the Waterman of the portals with q
smile, who said: II was mistaken, You can
enter; there is no delinquent subscribers in

lust Before the Battle.

The candidates for county offices were
making as good use as possible of the time
and opportunity furnished them yesterday,
The last day before that of the final struggle.
They made the closing public speeches to
the people last night, at the Postofiice
corner and at the depot OF the Nashville and
Decatur Railroad. The meeting at the
former named place was the largest
that has occurred since the COM
mencement Of the campaign. The
people generally listened very attentiveiy
TO what the several candidates bad to say,
but occasionally the enthusiastic cheering
in parts Of the crowd was so vociferous AS
to render it impossible to hear distinctly
the words of the speakers. Before mid
night the noise and confusion had ceased,
the candidates and the people having re-
tired to seek repose in balmy sleep and
DIRE amy visions of to-day's victories.

The Cabbage Yield,

In abundance and excellence of quality,
the cabbage yield of this locality for this
season has hardly ever been excelled here
or elsewhere in the county. One bad effect
to the producer who goes into the market,
is the heavy reduction in the prices of this
substantial vegetable. This would be an
suspicious period for the establishment Of

To the Editor of the Union and American:
see in your paper this morning reply
TO my article of the 10Th. am truly glad
to find that am not alone in the matter.
Nashville needs something Of this kind, and
with the aid Of the young men Of our city,
| feel confident that we can in very short
time have company of which our citizens
will feel proud. But, writing articles
and putting them in the papers will not
make the company. What we want is the
support of the young men Of Nashville, and
| would suggest that a meeting of such
gentlemen as are disposed to take part with
us in our work be called, and let the young
men organize themselves into body, and
then proceed to work With energy, and in
a short time you will hear your company
praised, as were the Crock City Guards"
of former days. dare say that there are
few, if any, who resided here before the
war, that do not remember with pleasure
the many happy and pleasant afternoons
that were spent in witnessing the drills on
the Public Square. A meeting will be call
ed, and the time and place made known in
Saturdays paper. More anon. ONE.
