Wilmington sent a peremptory challenge
to the Academies Of this town to play yes

seldom, if ever, can every man desired

NASHVILLE, July %, 1878. -Gentlemen:
Each of your communications, signed by
yourselves, with many others, calling upon
me through the Banner some days since, to
announce myself for reelection IS May or,
has been noticed by me.
In reply, permit me to say that 1 am
gratified to know that the manner in which
l have so far managed the municipal affairs
of the city, meets with your appreciation.
No other man, perhaps, occupying the
same position in this city, has ever had such
tide of adverse circumstances to contend
AGAR st as myself.
The winter having been very severe, and
prolonged far into the spring months, to
say nothing of the epizootic and cholera,
which caused an almost total suspension of
business, end cast such gloom over the
city, has prevented more general improve
ments being made in the city than other
wise would have been accomplished.
In conclusion, will state that l will be
candidate before the people Tor reelection
to the Office l now hold, and if elected,
trustiI g to Providence and to moro Suspi-
cious circumstances in the future than the
past, l will do the best can, not OILY for
the past progress and welfare of the city,
but for the peace and happiness of the citi-
ZeDs.
must say, that in my opinion the ''penny
wise and pound foolish" policy pursued by
previous administrations, has near ruined
the city. 1t seems to have been fol gotten
by some that we have grown to the dignity
of city, and have long since thrown off
the swaddlipg clothes Of mere vuldge, and
to run and improve city it requires ex-
pendituIe of money. am in favor of
proper and judiciouS expenditure of money
for the purpose of keeping the city cleansed,
to prevent the visitation of epidemicsl dis
eases; also to furnish gas, Tater and to i'm
prove our streets and alleys.
Gentlemen, thanking you for your kind
wisnts, and the high appreciation which
you entertain for the manner in which /
have conducted municipal affairs, remain,
yours, very respectfully,

SUMNER COUNTY,.
Avn Afrrax at fountain Head,


To the Union and American:
FOUNTAIN HEAD, July %, 1873. The
quiet of our little burg was on Friday, the
25th inst, thrown into state of great ex-
element by the killing OF one Pleasant
Mayo, formerly resident of Smith county,
Tenn, by John 81. Buntin and Taylor Nc
Gov, both from Richland station, Tenn.
Below give you the facts as best could
gather them. Messrs. Buntin and Mccoy
had had some hard words with Mr.. Mayo,
some days back, about mule that Buntin
had loaned to Mayo. Mccoy says Mayo tnet
him the evening before the shooting took
place and abused him (also Buntin) for,
everything that was mean and low Gown
ard said he would not risk rs cents with
them. This Mccoy told to Bnntin. So
Buntin, in company with Mccoy, came
down the next day from Ricbland S:ation
to settle the matter. Buntin and Mayo
had some pretty short words, but did not
make any mov3 to hurt each other uctil
Messrs Buntin and Mccoy went to get on
a hand.car that was going to Richland.
Mr.. Mayo, ESQ l am informed ordered the
foreman OF the car TO not let Buntin and
Mccoy get on. At this time firing COM
menced, and Mayo ran into a gro
Gerry store belonging to 8 Mr.. Don
nell. Buntin and Mccoy tried to get
him to come cut; finding they could not
get him to come out they supposed he was
shot, and again started to get on the hand
car. AS soon as Mayo saw their BAL
turned, he slipped out, took rest across the
fence, and pulled trigger, but his gun failed
to lire. He then ran into the grocery again.
Buntin and Mccoy came back again, but
could not get him to show himself. Out
siders then took the thing in hand, and got
Buntin and Mccoy to agree to drop the
matter. They then got Mayo 10 slip cut of
the grocery and leave, as they thought,
but in short time he was seen
slipping up on Buntin and Mccoy.
They started towards him and be jumped
into corn field. Mccoy went up on ore
side Of the field and Buntin on tho other;
while Mccoy was standing watching for
Mayo, lie slipped up and shot at Mccoy,
one shot taking effect n the right check and
another in the right side. Mccoy then
fired two shots at him as he run off. Bun
tin at this time was coming in the direction
of the firing, he met Mayo and fred at him;
he fell, and died instantly, Upon examin-
alton it was ascertained that be had thirteen
buck shot in his breast.
The eoroLer, W. T. Summers, was noti-
fed, jury summoned, and gave in verdict
that he came to his death by guDshots
received while in the hands of j. FL. Buntin
and Taylor McUOy. s8t
Buntin and Mccoy, l learn, nave fed the
country. Mayo was delivered TO his friends
for interment. He was young man about
30 years old; was neve- married; had not
been living at this place but about three
weeks, and was preparing to go to Kansas
in few days. Buutin was native Of this
State, and brother of ]. G. Buutin, ex-
deputy sheriff. mccoy was from Kentucky.

A D.sgusted "araanssw Traveller,

A gentleman who has just returned from
atrip over tie Memphis and Little Rock
railroad, has presented US with a diary be
kept Of the journey out from Memphis. Il
ruus thus:
Left Memphis at Sis. The agricultural
products of the country about Hopefield
are wild ducks, dog.fennel and bull frogs
The frogs cling swat, wait, wait for the
Arkansaw Traveller Man on a horse fol
lowed US for five miles, passing us occa-
sioDally. Found out afterwards that be
was rcadmaster Of the road. THE water
privileges in this section are good.
Five miles out. Here we have thirty
seven and half (37a) feet o: good track.
The train is stopped, and the cow-catcher
removed from the front to the rear of the
train. The conductor explains that this
is done to keep cattle and other stock from
running over us.
Seven miles out. An old colored woman
carrying baby, has just passed us. We
asked her to jump aboard and ride, but she
refused, saying she was IN a hurry. Soon
after, bsggage-master stopped to get 8
drink, and conductor waited train for him,
fifteen minutes.
Ten miles out-brskes have Just been
whistled down on account of musquitos IN
trsck-men sent forward to sweep them OFF.
Here we begin to see indications of civili-
cation, hsviDg just passed white house,
with orchard, Clubhouse, ETC., attached.
Noticed side track open at both ends.
Twelve miles out-just struck cleared
land. Asked a man walking alongside
train what county that was. He says,
"dam6no." Told him he had fifteen mus.
quitcs on the back of his neck. Seemed
surprised, and said he hadn't noticed 'em.
Lots of snakes in this section (not in our
boots, thought, Best road along here is
built on stills. Just passed over seventy
five feet of good track.
Fourteen miles out-sign post shook
down by heavy attack of the chills.
Here the diary comes to an abrupt stop
page, the writer's time being Sd fully occu-
pied with energetic efforts to keep the mus
quitoes of, that he found that it was impos-
sible to keep up q record of the entire trip.

The Gas Monopoly.
To the Union and American:


1 was very glad to see from an advertise
ment in your Sunday paper that there was
a prospect of having here another gas COM
pany. There is constant stalk" about the
progress and prosperity of Nashville, but
it's all talk. There never was such place
for monopolies in the United States, and
that is what makes the few immensely rich
and the many terribly poor. 1 have lived
here in Nashville over quarter of a CEN
tury, ard have heard the same old song
all the viii and seen the same old run of
monopolies. have hoped and hoped for
Nashville's greatness and glory until my
heart has grown sick from the vain and
fruitless waiting. Our city election is com
ing on. Let every candidate show his
hand. We want to know who are for PRO
gress ana prosperity. We want to know
who are against progress and prosperity,
and for monopoly. Give us free trade in
light, in air and in water, the three great
necessary essential elements of every city's
and every peoples prosperity.

An Attractive Spot.

To those who have just appreciation OF
the beautiful, we would suggest a visit to
Shelby's pond in Edgefeld. The lilies grow
in profusion in the edges of the water on
either side of the pond, and on moonlight
nights, an exceedingly beautiful scene is
pre- ented. If person would go there some
clear, still night, and gsze out on the green
fields which surround the pond, he would
