The opinion Of Chancellor Fleming was

BELL CoUNTY--In the absence of any
personal knowledge in regard to the eff
forts now being made TO establish Bell
County out of portions of I1ayette, Harde-
man and McNairy, we transfer the fol.
lowing communication from the columns
of the Appeal TO our own, in order that
the citizens of Hardeman generally may
know what is going on:
At called meeting of the citizens of
Grand junction, held at the StOnewall
House. on the first instant, DR.. K w.
PegrGm was called to the chair, and Mr..
Nc Nahon requested to act as Secretary.
The object of the eeting was then ex-
CLAIMED to be the resuscisntiUn of the
Bell county project. DR.. Prewitt, Rev.
ID. G. Wells and George A. Woodsuu,
ESQ, were each called on, and each
spoke with entire confidence of the ulti.
mate success of the enterprise. The
| county had been fully and fairly estab-
| Iished, after one Of the fairest elections
| ever held in the State Of Tennessee
! Subsequently, county site had also been
| selected by vote OF the people and one
| Of the most shameful Outrag.s had been
inflicted On the rights of the people of
Bell county known in the annals of
wrong. Redress must come sooner or
! later.
On motion DR. Prewitt was requested
! to report our full determination to fight
again the battle of oppression and wrong
and to appeal to every friend of the coun
! ty. as originally established to go t.
work, and work earnestly, for redress
of our wrongs Right and justice were
on our side, and the good sense OF ouI
Lawmakers must be appealed to, and not
in vain. We spent several hundred dol>
| lars in having the county surveyed and
mapped Cf-nOne of this expense now
! The same lines, with few slight correc-
TONS embudy more than the const tu-
| tional amount of territory. FeIlOw>citi-
zens Of Bell county, we hear from the
east and the west that you are, and have
| br en-, expecting us to move in this matter
| Our friends at PocahOntas are moving in
! good earnest, and intend to have Il new
| county whether we retestabiish Bell
county OF not We say, let us have Bell
again; no more convenient county can be
/ established in the State. She will be the
/ pride and boast Of her people, and haI
/ people will OF be eclipsed In intelligence
and worth by any in the state.

Gnod Sense

The educational convention, that met
last week in Nashville, d serve to be
praised for their wisdom in recommend
ing that civil districts be empowered to
levy a tax for public school purposes
This measure embodies the wisdom and
experience of all communities that have
ever put into successful Op ration an eff
icient system of popular education. 1t
brings the whole subject of public schools
directly hcme to the people, and gives to
each community, or civil district, an OPP
portunity to act in the matter as they may
think best so far as raising money for
popular instruction. Is Concerned And
as this whole question IS one which no
community has any right to settle for an
other, the power Of taxation is properly
lodged in the hands of those who are to
be benefited, and who best know their
own wants There is more sound de-
mocracy in this measure, than in any
which we have known to be suggested for
long time Chronicle.
With hearty good will we can say
Amen to that

Respectfully, your servant,

Right here we want to put it on record
that the first narrow gauge locomotive
used IN the South is now making daily
trips over Hardeman county soil The
first narrow gauge road built in the South
is the Middleton and Ripley road, and a.
Hardeman was the first county in the
State to lead of in this ''new departure, J"
she will continue in the lead of all Others
1t will not be many months before the
Middleton and Ripley road eau enjoy
! close connections with the Cairo, Browns
Vile, Bolivar and Middleton road and it
will not be more than eight or ten months
before the Memphis and Knoxville road
is completed from Bolivar to Henderson
Station, and in a short time thereafter to
SaltiIlo, on the Tennessee river.
Just think of it. Three great through
railroad lines crossing each other at BoIl
war. Why the very idea of such COM
summation makes us feel good all over |!
Seven years ago, when we hauled the
BULLETIN presses and type in lot of old
! TOdCL wagons IfOIu mem puIS anu plICu6u
our tent in Bolivar, something told US
that there was time coming when this
little, half burnt county site would doff
the sackcloth and ashes of war and stand
out as one of the most thrifty and pros
gressive towns in the State. Indeed,
facts are making even the dullest of obs
servers open their eyes to the bright
prospects surrounding US Oh every side !;
and now, as one man, this entire commu>
nifty and every lend to the best interests
of Hardeman county should join hand in
hand and assist with all their might in
hustening the day when Bolivar can in
truth be called grand railroad center
and manufacturing point Nothing is
lack ing but prompt action. Our people
have the intelligence, they have the
means, and both of these great agencies
should be actively employed.
