LINCOLN county Statistics.

Col. Tillman, of Lincoln county, has COL
lected these statistics:
According to the census of 1870 Lincoln
county, with the exception of Davidson,
has larger white population than any 9th
er county in Middle Tennessee, and with
the exception of the above nam d county
and Shelby and Knox, the largest white
population in the State.
The white population of Lincoln county
is 22,O97; of Maury %, J22; of Davidson
81 ass; of Shelby 39,757; of Knox "a. $50.
Since 1860 the white population of Lincoln
county has increased 5000. In 1880, 1910
and 1850 the population lwhite) was 1000
more than in 1860, when it was little over
5000, while at the former stated periods
it was over 1900. In 1870 the free color
ed population numbered 5,953; in 1860
there were 55 free persons of color and
6,S47 slaves, making the total negro popu-
lation 6,9O2. The decrease since 1860 in
the negro population is e49. Between 1850
and 1860 the negro population increased
1,2OO and the white population diminished
1000. Between 1880 and 1910 both popu-
lations remained stationary.

Disputed Territory.

The Moore County Pioneer Of Sept.
6, 1872, says this:
"Some excitement has been created in
this and other counties as regards the es-
Establishment of Moore county. The consti-
tutional limits are 275 square miles, and az
ter deductiDg from The original survey, (3l0
square miles) Lincoln county's last survey,
if we concede it would leave us at least 500
square miles. Suppose Bedford and Frank
lin were to contend and we were to give up
their original territory still there would be
29O square miles; more than is necessary.
But Bedford does not and viii not contend
for hers and Franklin viii willingly give
her territory to the new county, so why
contention? We want no controversy, no
discussion as to this matter, but if our
neighbors of the Observer and Netss viii
show us satisfactorily why such a hubbub
is created in Lincoln in regard to this mat
ter, we are then satisfied. Bedford and
Franklin have not asked new survey, but
we fear there are parties at Fayetteville
who are contending for their extreme lin
its; if SO, let them have the last survey, the
one they win abide by, and then, sirs, we
have a county at last. No more croaking
in re gard to Moore county, if you please.
She is a county.

LonRfeIIou and Bassett.

The extreme Bassett party, which, in Or
der to prove that Longfellow was beaten at
Saratoga on his merits, stated that old John
Harper directed that his horse should make
the running at the start, or, in other words,
do his best from send to end" have given
up the point. They could not stand the
logic of the fact, that he ran the second
mile, head and head with 3 ssett, several
seconds faster than be ran the first to support
their foolish theory; so they wisely dropped
it. They admit, therefore, that the real d.
rection to the jockey of Lougfellow was to
trail Bassett till the three-quarters of a
mile, and then pass him and take the track.
IopgfelIow's misfortune in the twisting OF
his plate just at that point, shows why he
did not pass Bassett, while bis game strug-
gle to the finish, but short length behind,
shows what might have been the result had
no accident happened. In this connection,
it is not out Of place to say, that Long
fellows footprints over the track were
measured and it was found that he had run
AZ feet more than Bassett.-SpiTtt Of the

A Veteran of the First Revolution.


Thomas Pinion, of Montgomery county,
said 10 be 11Syears of age, and soldier OF
the First Revolution, arrived here yester-
day for the purpose of drawing his pension.
He came in a wagon, accompanied by two
sons and two daughters, the youngest OF
his children being IS years of age. Mr..
Pinion, his advanced age being considered,
exhibits remarkable traces of physical and
mental vigor. he gets about with almost
as much activity as either of bis children,
and speaks of events Of recent and ancient
occurrence with wonderful degree of
animation and accuracy. He distinctly re-
members the battle Of Stony Point, and is
still able to give vivid description of that
engagement, and other events of revOlu-
tionary memory. Mr.. Pinion has not
drawn any portion of his pension money
since the commencement of the late war,
and says he thinks there is "right smart
coming to him just about now" The Pen
sion Agent of the Government will see
how the old mans account stands.

The Wrong Pie bx cine Ear.

Some time ago at Collierville, Geo. Blair and
Adam White, both colored, were ARRESTED
upon the charge of stealing one thousand
dollars from j. n. Turner. The former
gave bail, but White, who expected to mar
ry in few days was jailed, necessitating
thereby the postponement of his contem-
plated nuptials until more convenient
season. The pocket containing the stolen
money has recently been found under the
pallet of George TURNKEY, colored, who af-
ter sporting new watch, dressing fine and
exhibiting much money, has mysteriously
disappeared. He is believed to be the
guilty one, and the other negroes have been
released.

a HEAVY Loss.


-s&. uT Home. 80
An interested in the improvement of
racing stock, and the admirers generally of
turf snort, viii regret to hear OF the death
Of the famous stallion, Jack Malone, which
occurred at Belle Meade, the residence of
Gen. Harding on Saturday last at l O'Clock.
Jack Malone was bred by Judge Guild In
Sumner county, and was thirteen years of
age. He was BY Lexington, ont of Glor-
lana By American Eclipse. At three years
of ace, Jack Malone won the Alexander
plate, over some fifteen competitors, and
distanced the field. This plate was offered
by Alexander for the best get of Lexington,
and such victory as was gained at that
time over some of the most promising three
year olds, and which has since trans
PRED, some of the best racers in the
country, made for the winner reputation
over the entire country. At four years of
age Jack Malone won four mile race at
Gallatin, after which time he was sent to
the stud, and out of six colts produced five
distinguished racers, including Muggins,
Duke of Orleans, Mary Winn, Chicka-
manga, etc. During the war, Jack Ma
lone was carried to Illinois, where at the
close of the war he was purchased by Gen.
w. g. Harding and B. f. Cockrell for the
sum of $1,000. since that time in Har-
ding's stud, he has produced Sentinel and
JEFF Davis, bred by Gen. H., next year
Eland, supposed to be the best three year
old in the State, Evelyn Mabry and Melrose,
all good racers, in addition to which be was
the sire of number of young animals
which will make their first appearance in
public this Fall. a EN
Gen. Harding purchased Cockrilrs halt
interest in Jack Malone the past Spring for
$1,000 in money, and $500 in seasons
from which will be seen the estimate n
in which he was held by this well known
and sagacious stock raiser.
In June last, Jack Malone received an
injury in his breast by running against a
fence, which finally resulted in pleuro-
pneumonia, and which terminated in death
He was buried side by side with Vandal, a
no less distinguished animal belonging to
the General that died in April last.
This has been q bad year for the General
attended as il has beeR with a series OF
mishaps and disasters which have inflicted
great loss, First, the death of fandal
then the destruction of large amount OF
property by a hurricane, and again the loss
| by fire OF his immense barn, filed with ri:
present years crop, and lastly, the death OF
the world-renowned Jack Malone. His
loss will amount to fully Sc, 900, not to say
anything about the damage sustained in the
death of such animals as are above re
| corded. 4-.-....

LONELINESS on the Increase.-A mar
ked increase of female loneliness is the eye

One of the political parties in San Fran
cisco is charged with curious dodge du-
ring the recent election. This was the
smearing oyer with nitrate of silver OF
names on the opposition ticket. At FIRST no
evidence of manipulation appeared, and the
voter, taxing the opposition ticket held out
to him, thought his ballot went Into the box
all right. Coming to be counted, however,
the nitrate had reduced the 'doctored'
name to mere black blot, and so the ticket
was perforce counted as scratched"

Attempted Homicide in Monroe


A few days ago, near Sweetwater, Mon
roe county, young man named Leonard
bought pistol, and in order to try its mer-
its as shooting-iron discharged the contents
at a negro boy who, going to the spring for
water, was about forty yards from the anna
teur marksman. The result clearly demon
strated the efficiency of the weapon, and
proved the proficiency of young Leonard,
who, ascertaining ''the damage" concluded
he was success as shootist, and accord
ingly made tracks for parts unknown. The
negro boy is not expected TO live, one shot
having passed through bis body and the
other hitting bis arm, which was thereby
fractured.
