On the west side OF the Roberts Creek
range. Detective Hume left Austin a
llttlo later and is now southwest OF
here guarding against escape by way
of Monitor or Spring valleys, in which
direction, ii is thought possible, the
men may en9eavor to leave the coun
try. 1t is thought also that they will
attempt. to get to P%anaInint, anu men
are detailed to watch for them on all
the roads leading in that direction. II
the men are still in the Roberts Creek
mountains it will he a hard matter Tor
them to escape with three parties hunt
ing them.
\ ruinnr was in circulation last night
that the men had been caught. but
nothing authoritative of such Il report
could be aScertained and probably
originated in the return of King and
Gilmore, who arrived at about 4 o'clock
last night. The officers of the aijpin-
ing counties have been made aware of
the attempted robbery and are on the
alert.
Altogether, the chances that the rob
bers will be speedily captured are
good. The men engaged in the search
will not leave the field until they eth
err bring the highwaymen in or are
satisfied that they have eluded p,ir-
suit and are out of the reach OF the
Law.

MISSED HIS ALMA visit to the

Thursday night disclosed the fact that
Jim Mi Ter, in shooting at the robber
who was trying to open the treasure
box, missed his mark. The charge
from the gun entered the corner OF the
station. passed through the building
and lodged in the ground on the out
side, perforatiny in its course several
tin plates. 1t is IA pity Jim's aim was
not more accurate. Had the contents
of that shotgun struck the "ayent "
he would have been "caught in the
door," and never have known the
strength ofthe hand that captured him.

Tennessee for Emigrants.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Times thinks Southern and Middle
Tennessee equal to any place for cheap
and pleasant homes. He says:
1.-The climate is pleasant, soil good,
and adapted to almost all kinds of
grain, and for fruit, is not excelled, if
equalled, by any place in the Union.
Peaches and small fruits are never
failing, and of the most delicious flavor
The markets for all kinds farm pro-
duets are as good, if not better than
here, being ON the northern border of
the princip pal cotton and sugar States.
As the demand for home consumption
is good, profits are not curtailed byex-
Orbitant railroad charges. The health
of the country is good. The soil being
dry and water pure, the settlers are
not subject to fevers, as in many south
ern localities. As for the citizens,
they are all anxious for Northern en-
igration, and all have that hospitality
which characterizes the Southern
people. Common labor is cheap, but
skilled LABOR commands very g0Ou
price.
The price for land varies according
to location and Improvement Good
unimproved timber-lands lying upon
the railroad can be bought for s. to
$40 per acre. ! bought 22S Saeres with
in one.half mile of the railroad, last
summer, for SS per acre, all timoer
Any person writing to p. C. Isbell,
Esq, Manchester, Coffee county, Tenn,
will have their many enquiries more
satisfactorily answered than / can do.
In conclusion, l would say it is a
natter ofastOnishment to me that there
is such tide of emigration West to
the cold, bleak prairies, and this mild
and delightful climate, with all the
natural advantages of a tirst:class
country, apparently neglected.

MY MOTHER.

Back to my infant days, Mother,
Ofttlmes with lingering eye,
turn where my childhood,
The years swept swiftly by;
In careless glee were spent;
When we turned with weary feet.
To you. We were content.
And when the silvery light, Mother,
Ger the bright green earth would lie,
AS the Queeniy moon In splendor,
Rode through thejeweled sky,
While the countless stars above, Mother
Sparkied like diamonds bright;
With you on bended knee we asked,
For safety through the night.
It was your voice so low, Mother,
That soothed the fretful cry;
When on your breast the aching head,
With loving trust would lie;
And when your gentle hand, Mother,
Would cool the burning brow,
Comfort would the soft eyes shed,
feel it even now.
On through my future life, Mother,
You gently point the way,
The way that every mortal one,
Must tread day after day;
You point TO q world above, Mother,
A world devoid ofkgioom,
While every passing hour brings
Me nearer TO the tomb.
When the hand of time, Mother,
With silver threads your hair,
And when the plough OF trouble,
Burrows that brow SO fair;
May the task be mine, Mother,
To ease in your after life
The trials, cares and sorrows,
We bear in this world of strife.
The earth looks bright and gay, Mother,
In 1t are jewels rare;
The feathered songsters warble sweet,
Flowers are blooming fair;
But there's a priceless treasure here,
We prize above all other,
For what would all this world be,
Without you, Oh My MOTHER.

As Panic Prices have become 30 very

like to say q word or two in regard to
the aforesaid P. P's. 'Tis very clear
to casual observer that these panic
prices have become very much discon-
oerted and disturbed, or, as stated
above. discombobolated, by the still
lower prices at which V. L. Williams
is offering his stock of Boots, Shoes,

stock he offers you to select from has
no superior, either in this market or
elsewhere, for cheapness or durability.

aged goods. but nice, new, fresh goods,
bought from manufacturers direct, at
lowest cash prices and sold at as short
profits as any living man can offer.
Since the opening of the fall trade
it has been, and will continue to be,
my constant aim tosell goods at prices
commensurate with the wants of my
customers. As evidence of this, many
of those who have traded with me this
fall will testify that my goods are sold
at less prices than many of those who
sell at the Panic Prices" " AT Co.'S"

simply because 1 sell superior line of
Boots and Shoes, and at less prices
than they haveever been offered in this

say, please consider me competitor of

fore you leave Clarksville to buy cheap
goods, call on V. l.. Williams, who
will fit you up for as little money as it
can be done at any place in the Union.

satisfaction. / claim to sell Boots and
Shoes cheaper than any in the market,

To Chureh,GOers,

We do not remember that Christ
ever said, Take heed how you preach, I"
or even gave his apostles any very ex-
plicit instructions in homiletics; but
he did say to the people, Take heed
how We hear, and he preached SER
mon to them with that for his text. In
that sermon. the parable of the sower,
he indicated that why so much seed is
apparently wasted is less to the care
lessness of the farmer than the power
ty of the soil, or, to drop the figure,
less the deficiency of the preacher
than the deficiency of the hearers.
There is in every congregation a large
proportion Of careless, indifferent, in
attentive hearers. 1t is easy to give
instructions to those that want it; it
requires rare skill to impart it to those
who do not. 1t is easy to furnish food
for the hungry; but it is hard to furn-
ish appetites. The minister congratu-
lates himself on his large Sabbath
congregation. He would modify his
self-congratulation if he had the eyes
to discern how many have sent only
their bodies, and kept their souls at
home. The mother is in the kitchen
with her cook, preparing her Sunday
dinner; the maiden is with her lover,
rowing on the river or WALKING in the
moonlight; the merchant is in his
counting room, studying his ledger.
Their bodios are in the church. but
they are not. When Saul sent messen-
gers to slay David, Michael dressed up
an image to represent him while he
fed. When the messengers of the
great King come, not to slay, but to
save, the people play the same trick on
them. The image of David is present
to the eye; the real David is far away.

About back Salaries.

The Secretary of the Senate has
been investigating the history of in
creased salary bills, and he reports as
follows:
There have been six instances in the
history of the Government where Con-
gress has voted itself back pay with
the Executive approval. The first act
on the subject was passed September
%, 1879, provided for seven months
back pay, aud was approved by George
Washington, the pay being small both
for the men and the times. The second
was passed March 19, 1916, gave
twelve months back pay and was ap-
proved by James Madison under simi-
lar circumstances. The third act was
passed December |, lSl7 gave two
months back pay and was approved by
James Monroe. The fourth was passed
August IL, 1866, gave seventeen
months back pay and was approved
by franklin Pierce The fifth was
passed July ., 1866 gave sixteen
months back pay and was approved
by Andrew johnson. The sixth act
was passed March ,, lS73, and was the
largest of all, giving twenty-four
mouths back pay aud was approved by
II. s. Grant.
