The national debt should be paid
off as speedily as possible. 1t Is a
gross abuse of the taxing power to
make the labor of the country pay
two thousand million dollars inter-

bought their claims at from fifty TO
seVenty-five cents on the dollar. 1t

U. S. Government to draw two
thousand million of dollars interest
without paying any of the princi-

it is-itis certainly not right to draw
seventy millions from the people Of
Tennessee, for interest alone, and
not reduce a debt of twenty-five
millions a single dollar. That's the

The Mckenzie Times represents
the farming prospects in that region
as exceedingly bad, owing to eoR-
slant rains for nearly two months.
The good weather we are now hav-
ing, will, in some measure, atone
for the long wet weather, but can
not wholly retrieve the losses infliet-
ed. A great deal of cotton, and
some corn, will never do any good.

STRANGE Cas-. OF Observation-Disclosures
Homer Abbott, q former member of the sophO-
more class of Yale college, who got into the
habit of taking things which did not belong to
him, and year or more ago left college liz con
sequence, turned up yesterday in thesame role
IN this city. He entered the room of IT, NJ
Harding, sophomore of Is, South college and
stole a quantity of clothing, which he endeay-
ored to sell at Benz. Lewis store on Court street
Mr.. Lewis suspicious were aroused and no.
iiceman was called in and at once arrested Alb
bolt, who confessed the theft. Abbott is a some
what seedy-loOking young man. It is said he was
studying with a view to the ministry while in
college. This case came up before Judge Stod-
dard, who was sitting in the city court bench
The value OF the stolen clothes was fixed at a
less sum than $50, and Abbott thus escaped a
binding over. In sentencing him to three
months In the county Jail, and to pay a fine OF
one dollar, che judge said he would not have
dealt thus leniently had lie not thought there
was some chance of a reformation of the ae-
cused. About one year ago Abbott stole a SO
violin from a Students room. When he was in
college he used to steal the textbooks of his iel-
low-studeRts and sell them at HOadey's and
even went so far as TO get out through the coal
hole OF his room. from which he stole coal and
other articles. Because he represented he was
studying for the ministry, he was helped along
by money provided to AID such students It Is
thought there is something wrong about his
head.-4Ne1. HdreR Register.

drink, choosing to be provided from a clear
spring nearer the shaft, anu pext 70 the mule
stables. One tumblerful of this water proves an
active cathartic; it leaves the skin soft and
pliable when applied for washing without soap
A plentiful deposit OF a soft substance is found
IN the creyices Of the rocks, and when dried is
an impalpable powder. Since the gushing out
OF this water in such quantities, il is proposed To
have an analysis of it, and to make some further
experiments to ascertain its virtues.
