The Difficulty at Austin.

From our exchanges We learn that
everything is again quiet at Austin.
Miss, the scene of the late trouble
between the whites and negroes. Ii
seems that DIR. Smith, a white man,
had difficulty with negro man and
fired pistol at him, but missing the
man shot at, killed negro boy. For
this he was arrested and placed in
jail, but afterwards released on bail.
This incensed the negroes, who again
arrested and placed him in Jail. This
was done, but on Friday night of last
week, he was released or made his
escape from Jail and left the place.
Saturday morning a party of negroes
went into town and made threats OF
violence if DIR. Smith was not again
placed in jail The officers of the
town and county sent to different points
for aid, which was promptly sent. AT
one time the town was IN the possession
of the negroes, who broke open saloons
and stores and committed other depre-
dations and afterwards left town. The
forces from Memphis marched into
the town on the morning of the 18th
inst, finding about thirty negroes there
and arrested eight of them as partici-
pants in the disturbance. The dis
patches report only one or two killed
during the entire affair.
A dispatch from Gen. Chalmers, on
the 18th inst, reports all quiet, and
the whites able to hold the town.

DIED.

Mrs. JOANNA g. SNYDER, formerly of this
ST. George Hotel, Evansville, Ind.
At the residence of her father. in this
county, on the 10th inst, of bronchitis and
tubercular enteritis, Miss MARTHA A.
THOMPSON, daughter of VIM. +. and Mar
tina Thompson, aged q years, 10 months
and q days.
When about twenty years of age, she at
tached herself to the Church at Antioch,
and sustained the relation of a Ct lsistent
member TO the end of her short pilgrimage.
AS n result of her fidelity to her trust she
was greatly blessed of God in her last affiic-
ton, leaving not a doubt in the minds of
her friends hut that their loss was her
eternal gain. She requested her friends not
to weep for her, but to meet her in heaven.
She also requested her pastor, DIR. Goodloe,
to say to her friends that religion was true,
and to request them to meet her above.
am informed that the last Ineligible
expression from her lips was, "MolIie E
is here, " referring 10 dear friend of hers
who died triumphantly some twelve or
fifteen months since.
Who can say that "Moliie F. was not
present to escort her home to the Eden
above? Are they not all ministering
spirits sent forth to minister for them who
Shall be heirs of salvation?" l..

OUR CITY ELECTION.


Although the people of Clarksville
have hardly cooled of, from a rather
heated county canvass, they will have
to prepare for the city election which
will come off on the 1stSaturday in Oc-
tober. Two candidates for Mayor are
already announced-both worthy citi-
zens and well qualified for the Office;
but as the Conservative Democratic
vote can not well be divided into two
parts and either part be greater
than black-and-tan vote, we hope it
will not be out of place to suggest, in
the interest of harmony, strength and
satisfactory administration of the
city's affairs, the call of meeting of
the citizens at an early day, to select
from the aspirants. a suitable, or rather
the strongest man, as a candidate.
Such action will allay excitement and
prevent the turmoil incident TO cleo
tons in which a multiplicity of can
didates, of the same party, affords
ample scope for angry chickering's and
unmanly mutterings of discomfort.
Each of the candidates has taken a
firm stand on the white mans plat
form, and pledged himself to abide by
the action of the Convention. We
would farther suggest that the present
city fathers fix the time and place, and
call a mass convention, or one com
posed of delegates from the several
wards selected by the voters thereof.
Not being a resident within the corpor-
alton, we can have no purpose to sub
serve beyond the preservation of har-
mony, and the Inauguration by the
city, of that policy so successful in
and Memphis, whereby the
whites asserted and maintained their |
supremacy IN government created |
by, and for themselves. The con-
fict is bound to come; let us meet it |
now, and conquer like men. The
way to comand the respect and to win
the confidence and cooperation of |
The colored voters, is to prove to |
hem that we can and will dispense
With their aid, and henceforth leave
hem TO shape their course by the
lights Of their carpet-bag advisers and
masters. The more they are solicited, /
he more conceited and arrogant they
become, and as soon as they are taught
hat they are of no consequence in an
election, and they can make nothing
~ selling their votes, they will seek
o coneiliate the favor of the whites
md relieve decent candidates from the
humiliation of asking for their votes
md influence.

FIRE.-Mr. Dune Moore, an ener-
getic, honest butcher, of this city, had
just completed well arranged slaught-
er-house, where he made preparations
to slaughter, for the first time, last
Tuesday morning, when he found that
some one had set fire to it and burned
it down. We hope the offender may
be caught and dealt with to the full
extent of the law Nothing appears
to be safe at present-life, limb or
property hellish feeling appears to
pervade the breasts of too many in
this and other communities, and if a
man preserves his property, he will
have to keep guard over it with powder
and bullets.

We are indebted to Col. j. B. Kille-
brew for copy of his invaluable work
on the Resources of Tennessee" 1t
is volume of 1893 pages without the
maps and index, and contains vast
amount of information to every intelli-
gent Tennesseean, and to all beyond
the limits of the State who may be in
search of homes under a genial cline
and in the midst of such resources as
this volume so accurately discloses.
Mr.. Killebrew deserves great credit for
the patient toll and extensive research
indispensable in the preparation ofsuch
book, as well as for the ability and
judgment with which the material has
been adjusted and adapted to the ends
in view. To show our appreciation of
the book, We propose to publish the
entire chapter on Montgomery county,
believing that the sample will create a
desire to possess the whole book, at
the low price of three dollars per copy.
If the papers in all the other counties
will do the same. it will not only bring
the work prominently before the
people, but increase the demand for it,
and diffuse the information, especially
provided for each county.

The Great Worlds Fair at Clarks.
g Vile. Friday, Sept. 18th.

The Great Worlds Fair an ag-
gregation of combined wonders, com
prising every feature and adjunct Of
Geological and Equestrian exhibition,
forming the most stupendous conjuoc-
ton of Circus and Menagerie with its
extraordinary and gorgeous pageant
and free exhibition, has made its ad-
vent east, in all its colossal and won
drous proportions, and will visit our
city, on Friday, Sept. 18th. OF the ex-
cellency and perfect completeness OF
this grand organization, the press have
been most lavish in their praise wher-
ever it has made its advent this season.
The Menagerie department is probably
the most choice feature of this elegant
show, excepting, perhaps, its arenic
display. The new and original ideas
connected with the interior display,
strike the beholder with amazement
andapprobation-a decided innovation
upon the old order of things. The i'm
mense and only genuine Sea Lion,
weighing nearly 1900 pounds, sports
in a tank of fifty barrels of sailed ice
water; the great Zingra, the only liv-
ing man who can compel by moral COM
mand the most yenofnous and mon
strous reptiles known in the encyclope
dia Of animal nature TO do his bidding
The Triple Circus with its Galaxy
of Stars, comprising the familiar names
of Cooke, Reyes, Variants, Leon, the
acknowledged heads of their several
professions, Gurr, the man who can
exist at the bottom of the sea, the
dashing Montaland, the princess of the
arena :; Seal, the acknowledged clown
par excellence Of all Europe, with his
three contemporaries; Miss Jessie, the
Queen of Air, who ascends to the
point of the highest center pole, daily,
previous to the afternoon performance,
and browning feature is the wonder
full and thrilling leaps of the accepted
champion of the world, VIM. Batche-
lor, who, in his unapproachable per-
Torrance, actually deies all known
laws of gravltation, all new, strange
and interesting. We predict the larg-
est concourse of people ever eongre-
gated in our city for any similar exhi-
bition. Do not forget the day and date

AN AFFRAY.-Last Monday even
ing fight occurred in that classic por-

FIVE shots were exchanged. They
then came together, when McKnabb
stabbed Sullivan six or seven times,
Sullivan at the same time striking Nc
Knabb repeatedly over the head. 1t
is said that after they were separated
McKnabb struck Sullivan on the head
with a stone, fracturing his skull. All
about a pint of whisky. McKnabb
was arrested and lodged in Jail. Sui
