s,rrprsa on A RAILWAY TRACK.

SLEEPING ON A RAILWAY TRACK
The Result.-Last night, between eight
and nine o'clock, a man giving his name
as William Nolan, and hailing from New
Martinsville, in this State, was run over
by the yard engine of the B. & 0. 4. T.,
and his injuries may possibly result in
death. Nolan was very much under the
influence of liquor, and lay down on the
track of the B. & o. road, few yards
south of the passenger depot and fell
asleep. The engine in backing into the
depot ran over him. The first intimation
of the accident was the mans cries, and
assistance was Immediately sent to his
relief. He was carried to the freight
depot, and Doctors Baguley and Jepson
sent for to examine the nature OF his
injuries. His left leg was ter
ribly mangled below the knee, and his
right leg found to be badly cut and
bruised between the knee and groin. 1t
was found necessary to amputate the
left leg just above the ankle, which was
successfully done by Drs. Baguley and
Jcpson.
The unfortunate man is between forty
and fifty years old, and says he has a
wife and eight children living. He was
suffering intensely late last night, and
prayed that death might come to relieve
him of his pain and suffering.

half a column to the calculation of our
query: Where is the gold to be found
for the redemption of greenbacks?
Now We would say to all whom it may
concern, that we have attempted no
solution of the financial puzzle, for
the simple reason that We feel our in
competency TO deal with the subject,
and shall be content, if. by an occa-
sional suggestion, We can elicit the
views ofthosemOre competent to throw
light upon a subject which is sealed

Sale Of the West Property.

We went down Saturday on a special
train, to Mr.. p. q. Johnson's large
sale of the L. d. West property. Mr.
johnson was i'll himself, but he had a
special train. He always takes every
means to ensure the sale of property
and facilitate the attendance of pur-
chasers. His efficient clerk, Mr.. D c.
Smith, and that fine auctioneer, Col
Young, were on hand.
The West estate Was most magnifi

sisting of several thousand acres OF
land, much OF it fine iron lands, with
a furnace, mill and saw mill, a de-
post of pipe ore. river and creek bot
tom of the most fertile character, with
the railroad running through the river
farm.
Dir. West was map of great energy,
of speculative tendencies and became
before the war largely involved and iu-
debted to parties who had advanced
him money. Some oil them relatives,
some at usurious interest. When the
war closed, proceedings were begun
against him and he filed bill alleging

creditors, and i'll fac; 10 procure alibi.
The bill WIS not tenabie. but in the

ordered, and mnde in 1872. A part

The recentconveution which assem-,
blei at Huntsville, to nominate scan
didate for Congress from the Fourth
District, on account of the death OF
Hon. J. w. Head, the member elect,
Was somewhat boisterous affair. A
selection was made on the 109th BAL
lot, Of Judge 8. NJ. Fife. Of Smith
county. We append the following:
BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF THE NOM
INEE
Judge s. NJ. Fite was born near
Alexandria. DeKalb county, and is
now about fifty-six years Of age. His
father was farmer and merchant in
DeKalb county, being, in fact, one of
the p oneers in that section. Judge
Fite was educated at Clinton College
in Smith county, after which he was,
for several years, a teacher in Enon
College, then in Sumner, but now in
Trousdale county. where he esta blish-
ed character for the strictest morality
and integrity. He studied law without
teacher, and was admitted to the bar
at an early age. On moving to Car
thage, he formed a partnership with
the late Governor WIN. B. Campbell,
the partnership continuing until Camp
bel was elected Circuit Judge. About
1871, Judge Fite was elected 10 the
State Senate. He was an elector on
the Scott Wing Presidential ticket.
He served as Circuit Judge before the
war, and subsequently thereto resumed
the practice of his profession at Car
ihage, and continued to do so until
Judge McClain was elevated to the
Supreme Bench in 1869, when Fife
was appointed Circuit Judge by Gov.
Senter; was subsequently elected by
the people in a special election, and re-
elected for term of eight years in
August. 1870 which position he has
filled with great credit.
During the war, though he did not
participate in it. he sympathized with
the confederate cause, and was i'm
prisoned at Carthage by Gen. Payne
for brief period. Judge Fte, during
the war, cultivated his farm near Car
thage by himself He was prominent
before the late convention which nomi-
mated the Governor elect of Tennessee.
He is a member of the Methodist
Church, the father of an interesting
family, and is popular in the district
in which he will be overwhelmingly
elected.

ton plOw.

Mr.. Ephriam Ball of this city is de.
cldedly an inventive genius. In add.
ton to the iron wagon, which is gen.
orally conceded to be one of the finest
inventions of the age, he has several
other valuable improvements that will
soon be brought before the public
among them an improvement on plOws,
the model of which is before us and
we think, one that is destined to take
the lead in that line of farm nipple.
ments. 1t is combination pillow, al
made of iron. The improvement is ia
the base or upright piece { which all
the other parts are attached. The
beam Is made crooked of wrought iron,
shaped for lightneSs and strength at
tached to the base is an ordinary
straight rod just below the beam and
fastened TO the draught end of the
beam. The handles are fastened to
the base by bolt, and also a holt
through the end of the beam by which
the handles are raised or lowered 10
accommodated man or boy The bar
or land slide is attached to the base by
two bolts, mold board by two, and
point by one bolt. The base is very
strong and furnishes ample support for
all the parts aud is protected from
wear. In fact there is no wear in any
part of the pillow except moldboard,
point. and land slide. The bea N,
handles and base will last life time
and the advantages are, that any shaped
moldboard and point can be used,
either cast or steel moldboard or point.
On one base a dozen different style
plows may be used, to suit any kind of
soil, and change of plows made in
five minutes. The plough can be
made for about the ordinary cost, and
afterwards the cost of moldboards.
points &c, would be trife, compared
to buying new plows every year

WORTHY MASTER, BROTHERS AND
SISTERS OF SToNEwALL GRANGE Be-
lieving the resolutions offered by your
Worthy Lecturer, r. S. Payne, and
adopted by you. to be of vital imporr
lance to all. and especially to the farm
ing community, each and every one Of
them have been fully endorsed and
unanimously adopted by our Grange.
We also believe that the present high
prices obtained for tobacco are owing
to the scarcity occasiOned by the I'M
precedented drouth, and that if we
continue to plant in the future as in the
past, the supply will very soon be
greater than the demand, causing a
great reduction in value; therefore,
Resolved. That we deem it unwise
and injudicious management to plant
more than two acres to the hand.
Resolved, That We, in this, ask a
hearty cooperation Of all Patrons
throughout the tobacco growing States.
Resolved, That the GAINESVILLE
CHRONICLE be requested to publish
these resolutions.

of jackson, Tenn, has the following
in regard to our county man, Capt. X.
Y. johnson, who is a candidate Tor
Comptroller:
Capt. johnson was for a long time
a resident of West Tennessee, living
in Weakley county. His high moral
worth and social stauding, his strict
honesty and integrity, and his public
spirit and enterprise, together with his
business qualifications and experience
emiuently fit him for the DIS barge OF
the duties of the office to which he as
