THE friends of temperance, in some
of the northern States, are making a
great stir, about this time. The policy
of making it political question is not,
we think, the surest way to success.
Legislation can do much promotive of
temperance by the establishment efan
efficient system of free schools and the
enactment of such general laws as will
encourage industry, stimulate self-res-
pect and develop all social virtues
in other words-wise laws honestly ad-
ministered are the most effective agen-
cies for the suppression of crime and
immortality in all their phases. Coer-
Give measures never eradicated a vice
like intemperance, they SAVIOR too
much of tyranny not to arouse the
spirit Of resistance, and they have never
done more than to curtail the privil-
eyes of the poor whilst conniving at
the transgressions of the rich. Moral
suasion, wholesome laws, honest Off
Gals and judicious training of the
youth of the country are the only sure
remedy for the crying evil To drag
it into politics, is to invite defeat.

Who WAS SCARED WoRsE?-On
Sunday night last, our friend Sam.
Brockman, was reused from his peace
full slumbers, by an unearthly noise in
the Presbyterian church, just across
the way from his residence. On going
over to learn the cause of the disturb
ance, he found that a little negro boy
had by some oversight been locked up
in the church, and on awaking was ter
ribly frightened, causing the noise
which disturbed friend Brockman.
The question among the neighbors
now is, who was worse scared, Sam. or
the boy? and as Sam. says he is unable
to give positive answer, and the boy
won't, it is still unsettled.

OUR SCHOOLS.


Our schools all opened Monday last
with fully the average number of pu-
pills in attendance. The pupils at the
Stewart College at the opening num-
bered about eighty. and at the Fe-
male Academybetween eighty and one
hundred were present. This, we be-
lieve, is about the usual number of pu-
pills who begin the session at these
schools, though during the second and
third week the number is generally
greatlyincreased. Thiswe suppose will
be the case during the present session.
We are sure at least, that both these
institutions deserve a much larger at
tendance than that with which they
have begun, for nowhere can parents or
guardians find better schools to which
to send their children. Each has a
full corps Of aecomslished and expert
enced teachers, and in both the great
est attention is paid to the thorough
training of each and every pupil. We
hope to be able to announce a large
increase in the attendance at each dur
ing the next few days.
Our private schools, of which we
have several, all of well-known merit,
report a prosperous opening, and pros
poets good for full classes.

To BUSINESS MEN.-The CHRoNI
Gle now circulates through all the adj
jacent country which, in commercial
point of view, is sought after by our
enterprising business men in every de-
partment of trade. As an advertising
medium it presents all the advantages
and facilities afforded by any publiea-
ton that has the interest and welfare
of our people at heart. Bear this fact
in mind when you wish to advertise
your wares and merchandise, and also
remember that business man cannot
lose anything by constantly reminding
the people that he has goods to sell. To
inform buyers where they can obtain
their supplies is an accommodation to
them as well as beneficial to the seller.
The benefits conferred are mutual.
Persistent, judicious advertising al
ways has and will continue to pay, as
the experience of the best business
men in the country fully verifes. Of
course we seek to benefit the press in
what We say, but selishness alone does
not prompt US, in carrying out this
suggestion mutual benefit accrues to

WE publish an article to-day, on the
subject of school books which should
be read by all who are officially
interested in it. Uniformity of books
is essential to the proper classification

parents of expense, and teachers of
much trouble, will tend materially to
progress in learning. The Superin-

selection and slow to change it.

ONE great drawback to the prosper
ity of our town is to be found in the
high rents demanded for residences.
There are three classes of houses-one,
roomyenough and conveniently located
for which a price is demanded far be-
yond the ability of any save those Of
ample means and prosperous business.
Another class, inferior in location and
convenience, at a rental SO high that,
though man in moderate circumstan-
ces may pay the rent, yet after sup
porting his family in the plainest man.
ner, he has nothing left of his years
earnings. Third class, though aspir-
ing-in price-to the dignity of the
second class, are such miserable pre-
fences to what an humble but decent
residence should be that they fall into
hands of those who cannot pay the
price and live, or else remain tenant
less. This condition of things pre-
vents many deserving and useful peo-
pie from coming here, and is driving
away some who would like to remain.
IF property holders would putup few
convenient and substantial cottages
costing about thousand dollars, they
would yield ten or twelve per cent, be-
sides the increased value of their real
estate, based upon an increased popu-
lation of the industrious and thrifty
classes. With high rents and the
dearest market in Tennessee, is it any
wonder that there are no indications
of thrift in our midst and no hope of
prospective growth for the town, neg
lected, as it is, by capital and by all
who might infuse to the sluggish body,
the spirit of enterprise.
