Extensive Luxuries.

An exchange says The "no fence law"
is in operation in four townships In
Mecklenburg county, N. G. The law
went into effect in March, when the PEG.
pie were busy preparing to plant the
present crop. Nearly oil succeeded in
getting sufficient pasture fenced for the
stock kept on their premises.
The law works admirably. The
thought ofnover again having to scratch
our hands with briars and tborns, and
tang;e our feet with grape vines, while
mendipg our old dilapidated fences. is
too good to entertain one moment with.
out almost shouting for joy. While
those who work OH the old plan Of fcnc-
ing up their fields will be busy this win
ter making rails, hauling and building
them on their crazy fences, we will be
clearing up our rich fence rows, for n
luxuriant crop another year. And
while they are paying out their money
for these repairs, we are spending the
same in compost heaps, clover Tote, rye
lots, and fall and winter blowing.

general opinion Of the Cabinet was,
that since their last meeting nothing

not in its possession such information
as would justify any interference with
the controversy in that State.
Everything was quiet at Little Rock

An Old Friend.

We had very pleasant call last Mon
day from Colonel Ed. Cheatham, OF
Middle Tennessee one Of those gallant
old line Wings whose memory dates
back to 1910 and IA, and who, like the
humble writer Of this paragraph, fol-
lowed that glorious banner as long as il
foated over an inch of southern terri
tory and until it disappeared in the
gloom and darkness of sectionalism
Col. Cheatham served several terms in
the Legislature some years ago, and was
the fast friend and earnest advocate OF
those great works of internal improve
ment which have done go much for
Tennessee and brought the three grand
divisions of the State together, making
them one and indissoluble in interest
and in all that pertains to the general
veal. He will be candidate before
the Legislature for the Office Of State
Treasurer, and without the least dis
paragement to other contestants for that
important position, we don't think we
shall shed many tears if he should hap
pen to be elected Col. G. loft Tuesday
morning, going in the direction oil
Knoxville.

Something New.

A car load Of live 'possoms passed
down the road last week, In pursuit Of
a market. They were in coops, and
were from upper East Tennessee, where
the crop is reported unusually heavy.
Shipping possoms as live stock Ia new
feature. They were formerly killed,
sailed and dried aud then sold as "small
bone bacon" At least that used to be
the way in North Carolina, as we learn
from friend who was raised near the
waters OF Tar river.

New Volume.

intention to redress and enlarge the pa

gotiating with an experienced job prin-

ply of Job type, and will soon have in
creased facilities in that department.
The paper will continue to be pro-
nounced in its political opinions, but
sufficiently tolerant, as IL has ever been,
to command at least the respect Of its
opponents. News, general and local,
has always been prominent feature in
hescoumns Of the Posi-, aud we shall
not neglect that department in its fu-
ture conduct. In word, we shall Ia
Dor hereafter, as heretofore, to make the
paper worthy Of public confidence and
public respect and when we fail to do
that we shall feel that we no longer
have any claims to public support. We
avail ourselves OF this occasion to thank
those friends who have been with us
through the somewhat stormy past, and
hope 1t may comport with their feelings,
and their pockot.books, too, to go with
us to the end, which we trust will reach
al least beyond the Presidential clec-
ton of 1876. Indeed, we thank all our
patrons, old aud new, aud hope rs fast
as their subscriptions expire they will
hasten to renew them,
After tho first Of January il will de-
volve on us 10 prepay postage on oil

ful-detals Of which will be found in

Attention is respectfully invited 10
the new Business Card of Messrs. Ste-

to-day. The Firm is among the very
best in the South, being composed OF
gentlemen Of integrity, who conduct
their business upon strictly mercantile
principles, and who keep themselves
well read up in the markets of the
country. We have had transactions
with Messrs. Stephens & Flynn during
the last seven years. and have always
found them prompt in their business,
and reliable and accurate in their state
ments. We have frequently been in
debted to them for information in re-
spect to crops, prices ETC., which has
proved Of great value 10 our friends en-

duce, and we shall always be glad 10

Chancellor Key.

The name OF Judge Key was incident
ally alluded TO in this paper week or
two ago IN connection with the Sena-
torial succession. The idea was not in
tended TO be conveyed that the Judge
was aspiring to the position or would
be contestant for il, but was simply
the suggestion OF mutual friend that
his name might be presented. With
abilities that would adorn any station,
Judge Key has at no time since his
election been ambitious of leaving the
responsible and honorable position he
now so worthily fills.

Another Warning.

Here is another warning note TO the
Changers:
ST. Louis, Nov. 20.-Reports have
been in circulation a few days, that G.
T. Quisenberry, Treasurer OF the State
Grange of Missouri, was a deiaulter TO
the amount OF twenty thousand dol.
lars. The Evening Dispatch OF to-day,
has information IL believed reliable, re-
garding the matter which is 10 the eff
fect--that nj the recent meeting. OF the
State Grange, at Kansas City, Mr.. Quis.
enberry was called upon for the whole
sum in the Treasury. twenty thousand
dollars being wanted TO invest in man.
ufacturing. il then came out that
Quisenberry had invested the funds OF
the Grange in various ways, and that
they could not be realized at once. He
raised four thousand dollars cash. and
has since given 10 the Executive Board
OF the Grange deeds of trust on two
farms, said TO be worth eighteen thou
sand dollars; executed bond of per.
sonal security, which has been accepted
by the board and he agrees 10 pay the
whole amount by next July.
Quisenberry's friends do not believe
he intended TO defraud the Grange. but
think he simply acted injudiciously IN
using the funds. Besides the two farms
Quisenberry has herd Of thorough.
bred cattle, worth over $4,000, and il
is not believed there is any danger OF
the Grange losing ANYTHING.

Wants to be Instructed.

N. b. Spears-member elect for the
floterial district Of Hamilton. Marion,
Sequachie, Bledsoe, Grundy and Van
Buren-publishes circular asking his
constituents 10 instruct him as 10 how
he shall vote In the election for United
States Senator. In this we think friend
Spears makes mistake. The framers
OF the Constitution wisely placed the
election OF Senators at a distance from
the people, and their wisdom in tbatre-
spect was never questioned, nor even
doubted, until Craftsmanship begun 10
die ont and Demagoguism to come in.
But If our State Legislators are to exer-
else no discretion or responsibility in
the matter, only as popular bias within
or caprice may indicate, then the sooner
Andy Johnson's proposition to turn the
election over directly to the people is
adopted the better.
When our Legislature meets we hope
the members will get together, take the
sensible view of the subject and deter
mine to unite at once upon the best
man, thus providing against o contest
which would otherwise prove bitter and
perhaps damaging. II they will do this
we undertake to guarantee that their
constituents will heartily appreciate
their choice.

COmmOtion in the Mountains.

A friend who lives IN Monroe coun
ty, near the foot of Unaka mountain,
states that short time before the storm
commenced Sunday night, two distinct
shocks Of an earthquake occurred. The
first lasted several seconds, and was pre-.
coded by low, rumbling sound like
distant thunder. Persons living on the
mountain also felt the vibrations, which
seemed TO be parallel with the range OF
the Unaka. Severe shocks have been
felt in that region before, and some oil
these days, perhaps, we shall have more
Of the "undeveloped resources" sud.
denly brought TO the surface than we
will be able to control and take care of.
Provided one was at a sufficiently re-
mote distance, II would be magnifcen,
sight to see the old craters on the Una
ka, the Chilhowee and the Big Smoky
all resuming operations about the same
time.
We don't believe there is immediate
danger, but it is well enough to keep in
mind that there are forces at work in
the interior of The earth of which even
science has but feeble conceptions, and
that the whole globe, which is mere
atom in the domain Of Creative Energy,
could be destroyed any day in the
twinkling Of an eve.
