Colonel Lee CrandalI.

This distinguished and able gentleman,
whose labors in behalf of Alabama and
Alabamians have been unremitting since the
war, has lately removed to Nashville, Tenn,
where he is st this time engaged as business
manager and director of G. G. Giers' cele-
brated Gallery of Photographic Art. This
gallery is the most complete and extensive
of its class in the Southern States and fully
equal to any in the United States. Itgives
constant employment to twenty-five or
thirty different aids ard artists, selected
with special reference to their fitness for
their several offices. The work, which we
have inspected closely, is well nigh perfect.
We have never seen anything superior TO
it and but little that could compare with it
in all the essentials of the art. Aud the
proprietor, Mr.. q. and bis excellent mana
ger, Col. Crandsll, have SO systematized ev-
erything that tbs wheels move with the
smoothness, regularity and beauty of clock
work. Every negative is preserved, num-
bered and fled away for future use. The
photograph is also numbered to correspond
with the negative; so that any patron of the
establishment can have his picture dupli-
Gated by sending the number with his or
der. We mention this peculiar institu-
ton" in order to direct the minds of our
readers 10 the capability of our people to
excel in any and everything they undertake
particularly when those who do the IN
dertaking are such mel as Carl G. Giers
and Lee Crandsll.-MORtgOme (AlG.)

Crops in this county are generally good.
We have had some fine rains lately.
Workmen are engaged in finishing the

FIVE CENTS Is ENOUGH.
An Imposition ON the Public.

Travellers on the Louisville and Nashville
Road, and on all the railroads running
South from this city, are subjected to the
imposition Of being compelled to pay ten
cents each for newspapers, or do without,
and it is high time the Superintendents OF
the roads referred to put stop to this goug-
ing business. The matter is under proper
regulation on the S.. Louis and Southeast
ern Road, the news agent who has the mo-
nopoly of selling papers on that line being
required to sell papers at five cents, at
which price be receives sufficient profit. 4
few months ago, MIR. j. A. Dablgren, agent
of the St. Louis and Southeastern, but who
was then Assistant Auditor, was travelling
over the line and bad occasion to buy pa
per of the train boy, to whom he was I'M
known. He handed him nickel, and was
told that the price of the paper was 10 cents,
and upon bis refusing to pay that sum,
the newsboy grew quite in
dignant and threatened to have him
put off at the first station, but upon being
told by the conductor of the position Dahl
green occupied, changed bis tune somewhat,
and made an abject apology. He was then
told that he himself would be put off at the
next station unless he went through the
train and refunded five cents to every pas
senger to whom be had sold a paper, which
be was very glad to do.
The travelling public have some rights
which railroad companies are bound to re-
spect, and they should be protected against
the shamful imposition of being requiret
to pay ten cents each for papers, which
cost the news-dealer from two and half,
tn three and q third cents.
We have no doubt but that all that is re-
quired to have the matter regulated, is to
call the attention of railroad companies to
this outrage.

SETTLING AN OLD FEUD.
A Constable Shoots "a Justice of the
Peace i'm Cuba.


From the Memphis Avalanche, July 80.
From gentlemen who reside in the vicin.
ity of the scene Of the tragedy, the details
Of bloody ending of quarrel Of several
years. duration, are gathered. The parties
are Richard Gay, constable, and Esquire
W. b. Hale, between whom for long time
there has existed bad feelings, the nature Of
which is not, at present apparent. Both
men were good citizens, and save when in
Their cups esteemed Ons another. Last
summer they met at Cuba, in this county,
and eng under the influence Of liquor, re-
neBed their quarrel, their passions Iisisg
to such an extent that they went to work
to carve one another with knives. Throw
ing these away, however, they ended the en-
counter in a band to-hand fight, from which
friends separated them. They were
indicted for their encounter, and the
trial was set for yesterday at Bartlett.
Mondav, however, they met at Cuba and
began talking over the difficulty. They be-
came very angry, and Hale going into
Cobb's store picked up a weigh, which
Mr.. Cobb took away from him Immediate
". Hale then opened a small clasp knife
and went to the door, where Gay was wait
ing for him. To Gay's assertion that Hale
had weight, Mr.. Cobb answered in the
negative. Gay then drew bis pistol and
fired at Hale, the ball entering his hresst
near the left nipple and passing through his
heart. The wounded man staggered back
into the grocery and IL dead. Gay mount
ed his horse, and fourishiDg his pistol in
the air, babe adieu to the village and made
his escape. An inquest was held by JUS
tice York, the verdict of the jury being that
the deceased came TO his death from the
effects of ball discharged from pistol in
the hands of Richard Gay. Both Gay and
bis victim were men of family, and the
neighborhood is much excited over the sad
event. GAY is still at large.

MELANGE.

An Iowa woman lately came into pos
session OF legacy of $500, and bought q
divorce with 1t.
Illinois people are rather down on q
citizen of that State who sold his deceased
wife's dresses to buy her gravestone.
1t Is suggested that young ladies are SO
anxious to get busban IS because every wo.
man is amiss until she is married.
The opera house at Davenport, lowe,
has been converted into fancy bakery,
and where rolled the orchestra drum now
rolls the dough.
"A wife at Green Bay footed It six miles
on the railroad track to see rore-walking
performance, and instead of applanding her
force of character her husband at once ap-
piled for divorce.
AN obserVant lady says that she was
never SO much inclined to laugh In church
as on recent Sunday, when, walking down
the broad aisle after service, she saw that
every woman ahead OF her was using her
left hand in arranging that portion of her
dress adjoining her back, and before she
was aware of it found herself similarly en-
ployed.
He parts bis hair in the middle, wears a
pale-blue necktie, pesrl- colored pants, and
a lensive smile, never drank anything
stronger than catnip tea, and lectured be-
fore temperance societies. But the smile
faded and his well-oied locks stood on end
when he learned that the alcohol In twenty
loaves of bread was equal 20 a bottle OF
port wine, while in milk pofridse 1t was yet
greater.

Hasty Preparation.

How many Nashville young ladies could
have made preparations for visit to Eu-
rope In so short a time as did the young
lady who figures in this paragraph, clipped
from the st. Louis journal:
An interesting young n;iss, who resides
IN Kirkwood-stIll school girl-waked up
one morning last week with but little idea
tn it the day was to develop anything of
unusual interest to her more than "vaea-
ton" was naturally affording. At about ten
or eleven O'Clock in the morning very I'm.
expected invitation was extended to her for
q trip to Europe, and when evening came
she was whirling along the "Vandalia line"
over the Illinois prsiries to take passage on
last Saturdays steamer for "Faderland."
Take note of it, fair young lady readers, and
from henceforth discard all troublesome
ideas of months preparations and sundry
'hig Saratogas" when you want to travel.

Sore time since one Justice Thompson
killed 8 man named Peter Reybolt, in
Greenville, Ind, and since then he has sold
out his property and renewed with bis
family to Chicago. The Louisville Com
merciaI explains why he left. 1t says that
soen after the killing, Reybolt's widoY
threatened TO kill Thompson, and went IN
pursuit of him. Fearing this woman Thomp-
son did not remain at home long at time.
A few nights before Thompson left the
place Mrs. Reybolt went 20 his store and
told him if he did not send flour and meat
to her house at once to fesd the children Of
the man he killed, she would kill him the
next time she met him. Thompson told the
woman he would comply with her demand,
and did send the articles required. That
night he closed his store and sold out, telling
3 friend that he could not do business there
any longer, subject to such annoyance.

CUMBERLAND COUNTY ITEMS.

Weather cool an showery. Corn and po-
tatoes look well, where cultivated. We
notice for the first time, two or three fields
that are being green soiled. This system
OF blowing under green crops is greatly
needed on this plateau, which has been
burned over annually for centuries. Our
soil is much benefited by a little judicious
assistance, and the time will come, when
this practice will be common as 1t is sensl-
BILE aud profitable.
The management of our county affairs IS
improving, and county orders have risen
from fifty to eighty cents in three years. A
number of northern wool-growers are en-.
curing about this section, with view OF
locating their business here. 1t will GER
