To the Editors Of the Herald and Mail:
The people of Maury county have been
touched with lively emotions OF pleas
ure at the proposition of the talented
editor of the Franklin ReUie1U to elect
Gen. WhitthOrne. the gifted and favor-
tie son of Maury, Speaker of the 44th
Congress. Gen. Whitthorne has served
bis constituency long and we'll, and with
distinguished ability. He has served
his people faithfully, irrespective of par
ty, and has been the servant of no par
ty. The many years spent by him in
the political harness, have LETT with him
the silvered tracks of time, and its les
sons of wisdom and craftsmanship have
not been noted by him in vain. He has
too much at heart the future good and
welfare OF his people and country, to de-
sire an Office that would seem of right,
owing to exigeDcies of the times, to be-
long to the great West.
Gen. Whitthorne says he will not be
candidate again tor Congress, in which
case the other counties will put in
their claims. 1t is true Maury has many
other able mon who would fill the office
with honor, but she has had the office
for number of years, and it will be
urged that some other county should
have &. Williamson has good Congress
slonal material too, and none better than
Dick Bullock, the aDle-bodied editor of
the Franklin Review. The election is
two years of, but 1 thought I would
throw out this hint. Dick is AS honest
As an OK, as true as steel, and has got a
head full of brains II is true he is an
editor, but we can forgive him for that
without dlsparagement to any of the
future aspiraHts for Congressional hon
ors, none would wear the Congressional
mantle Of Gen. Whitthorne with more
grace and honest ability than the honest
and talented editor of the RcUtc1O and
Journal. CEDARs.

TITS gifted young lady reached our
town last Tuesday, and gave an enter~
tainment in the Athen8um Hall last
night. Our paper goes to press, general
ly, on Thursday night, and hence we
are unable this week to notice her read
iugs and reCitaLiUns. We have had the
pleasure of meeting Miss Patterson
and are prepared to confirm all thu [ has
been said about her talents and accom-
plishments. Many ladies aud gentle
men have called on her, all of whom tes-
tify to her charm of manner and gifted
intellect. We trust she will give other
entertainments in our town, and j. she
does we trust she will receive large au-
diences. Columbia has the reputation
everywhere OF being a highly cultivated
and literary community, and certainly
we should patrOnize one OF our own
gifted young artistes. 1t is but proper
and just to say that Miss Patterson is
not to blame for her failure to
meet the appointments made tor
her here last week. The cream
stances are too many to enumerate, but
IL is sufficient to say that Miss Patter-
son is in no wise responsible for the
disappointment. 1t was in the manage

ACARD no THE PUBLIC.
A short POsIpOnement of the Fifth
Gift Concert.


As a manager of the gift concert given il
aid of the Public Library of Kentucky my Pc
s!tion creates an important trust in behalf o
the Public Library and the ticket-holders o
the fifth gift concert. The Public Library q
Kentucky and the ticket-holders are jointly
Interested in the amount OF the drawlnG: The
larger the fund to be distributed in gifts the
greater will be the gift awarded to each lucky
tleket- holder and the more tho amount real
ICED by the Library. To have full drawing
is SO manifestly to the interest of those inter,
ested that, rather than have fractional
drawing on the 30th inst, | deem 1t due to
the trust confded to me by the ticket-holders
and the Public Library of Kentucky, that a
short postponement be made to enable me to
dispose of the unsold tickets and have full
drawing. Though the very large amount now
IN bank would enable us TO distribute hand
some gifts, yet we should feel disappointed
IN This our last concert, should we be COM
PEELED to make fractional drawing, however
large.
We have received so very large a number
OF letters from all parts of the country from
those most largely Interested, urging a post
ponement If all the tickets be not sold by The
5oth, that We feel strengthened in our sense OF
duty to the ticket-holders and the Public Ii
prary' to make the postponement. Under the
circumstances, we have determined, In the
interest OF all parties, to postpone the con
cert and drawing to Saturday, February Y,
io'5, at which time the drawing will positive,
ly take place, and, rs a guarantee of good
faith toward ticket holders, we pledge to re-
fund to any tlcket-hOlder his money, upon
presentation of his ticket, should the drawing
fail to come off at the day now fixed. The
past, we feel assured, will be sufficient guar
antee to all interested that they will be fairly
and honestly dealt with. The money paid for
tickets is sacredly preserved against all con
tingencies until after the payment of the gifts,
after which the expenses are to be reimbursed
and the Public Library is to be paid its prof
its. THoS. + BRAMLETTB,
