A law suit occurred in this city a few
days since, growing out Of the purchase of
five cents worth of blueing: A negro
woman sent a bill by another woman to a
grocer, receiving therefor five cents worth

cents in change. She claimed that she
sent a five dollar bill, and brought suit to
recover the balance due her. People can
not be too cautious in purchasing blueing.

him Percy. If he grows up to be one of

very happy and shouted all over the church.

bales Of cotton from S.raJtOB * Wexford

poi. lie yesterday succeeded in getting the
particulars Of the robbery, which ale as
follows: Aleck, in daylight. went to the

Nashville Osern House.

To the Union and Americans:
Nashville must have an Opera House.
Why? Because the absence of such an in
stitution has been for years a great financial
drawback to our city. As it is she stands
in the rear of other cities of far less i'm
pOrtance, and thousands Of dollars that
would be expended here are drawn to other
cities of less note.
Why will a fine Opera House improve
the finances of Nashville? The business
men will tell you to look at the hundreds
of strangers who pass through the city, who
otherwise would lay over if there was an
established place of amusement, such as
they could take their wives, daughters, SIS
tiers and sweethearts to, and pass a leisure
hour. But as it is, they must dispel their
''cnnui' gazing in the windows around
the Square and Cherry street, or hold a ST.
lent confab with themselves in their lonely
rooms at a hotel. The consequence is they
leave at once, and take many dol
lars that would otherwise be left. They
will tell you that it costs a 1irst-ciasS com
bination, from 500 TO S125 railroad fare
from l.. to ", or from l.. to NJ, and that
half. of the employees live in Nashville,
and that the more trains on the road the
more liberal salaries will be paid the IN
plOyees, half of whom spend their money
here. Some will say that it is a matter Of
'moonshine," but the thinking mind will
see its Importance.
In the visitation of a dramatic or opera
troupe, hundreds of dollars are circulated
that would otherwise lay rusting in some
misery Golfer. Their hall rent and hotel
bill amounts to 500 or 5000 per week. to
say nothing of the enormous amounts ex-
pended for printing, bill posting aud other
incidentals, private expenses, etc. For in.
stance: Mr.. Cal. Wagner and Jack Hav-
eTIy have expended several thousand dol
lars within eighteen months, i'll this place.
for jewelry and other things. Other COM
panieS expend a pro rata amOunt-without
a place wherein they can properly entertain
the citizens. What would they do if they
had such a place? Now, while the enter
prise is on foot, why should not every man
put bis shoulder TO the wheel and say, sswe
will have an Opera House
The writer of the above has had some
years experience in the theatrical profes-
sion, has travelled extensively and knows
the advantages other cities gain by having
a firSt-clasS Opera House.

nashville Life Insurance Company,


The Christian AdcOcate has the follow
ing endorsement Of this most excellent
home institution:
A meeting of the Beard of Directors of
the Nashville Life Insurance Company was
held in the city of Nashville, on the 5th
inst, for the purpose Of electing the officers
and directors for the current year.. The en-
tire Board of last year was reelected, which
is as follows: DireclOrs-JOhn u. Bass, DR..
VIM. II. Morgan, VIM. Scockell, John POr-
terfield, C.. A. r. Thompson, 81. Thruston,
and S. l.. DemOvilie. The officers are John

President; VIM. Henry Smith, Secretary;
ID. p. Fackler, ActUary; T. 4. Atchison, VI.
D., Medical Adviser; DIS. L. l.. and j. w.
Maddin, Medical Examiners.
Better selections for the responsible pO-
sitions to be occupied could no: have been
made. For many years the name of John
NJ. Bass, the President, has been identified
with the business departments of the city
of Nashville; and during all this time his
name has been a tower OF strength. DR.. w.
III. Morgan, the Nice-PreSident, is one of
our best business men. Reserved and eau
tiOuS in all his transactions, whether in the
management Of his own business or of that
intrusted to him by others, he is safe in
counsel as he is prompt in action. VIM.
Henry Smith, the Secretary, is prudent,
careful, energetic. combining all the quail
ties that iii him for the important Office lie
las for years so ably filled. The Actuary,
ID. =. Fackler, has shown his fitness for the
position he occupies by his careful and sue
ceSsful management of the interests o n
fided to his trust. While the names of DR..
Atchison, the Medical Adviser, and Drs. T.
l.. and j. W. Maddin, standing as they do
in the front ranks of the medical profession
in the Southwest, give assurance of prOtec-
tiOn against improper applications, which
might otherwise seriously embarrass any
company.
The Board of Directors has been selected
from among our best citizens, men who en-
joy to the fullest extent the confidence of
the public. The business of the Company
for the past year, under a judiciOus man
agement, far exceeded the most Sanguine
expectations Of its friends. The increase
in the number of policies issued over 1872
was one hundred aud Hi~Hety-sereR per cent;
while the increase in the amount of insu-
rance, during the same time, was n hun
bred d~Hd1liHety-t,CO per cent. The death
losses paid To widows and children OF de
ceased policy-holder, daring the past year,
amounted TO Sj2,2J0. Among all these
losses, not one was disputed by the Com
pany, and all were paid within thirty days
after proofs Of the death of the policy
holder. Their business extends through
Kentucky. Tennessee. North Carolina,
Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana,
Texas and Arkansas, and lis area is con-
stantly increasing.
The new year has opened more favOrably
than any Of its predecessors, promising the
largest success.

went smoothly with them until last night,
when Detectives Tracy and DuckwOrth APP
peared upon the scene and arrested a third
brother, named Frank, on a charge of run
ming away from the House Of Refuge at
Louisville. This Is not denied, but there
are many circumstances connected with
the affair that make the offenSe extremely
trivial. When the song and dance artists
were learning their business, and drawing
a mere nominal salary. their parents died,
leaving them il destitute circumstances.

That EIind Car.

The patrons Of u Of our lines of street
railway have been worried, for three months
past, by what they call 'that blind car"
said car being entirely invisible at night in
consequence of the absence of the circular
red light which respectable street cars are
wont to display. How, or when that car
had its red eyes knocked out, is unknown to
the patrons aforesaid, but they do know
that in consequence thereof, they never
know of IFS whereabouts on dark nights.
Many times and oft have tired business
men started ho:newaFds on foot, after gazing
down the street for the appearance OF a car,
and when it comes stealing upon them af-
ter they have fairly started, they usually
persist in walking the entire distance,
swearing as they 90.
Query: Don't that railway company
lose more every night than It would cost
to repair the damage to that car?

JAMESTOWN, Tenn, Jan. II. 1ST4-On
the 18th inst. Wm. Ward killed his father,
George Ward, who was about sixty-fve
years old, the son being about thirty-Seyen
or thirty-eight years Of age. They lived
on Wolf river, in the northern portion of
the county, about II or ID miles from
Jamestown, in what is termed a double
log house, though their families, consisting
of themselves and their wives only, Occu-
pied different apartments. The old man
and his son had not spoken to each other
for some time, owing to a dispute about
the land they were living on, or rather the
building or repairing of some fencing on
the farm. On the 18th inst they were
bCCh out at work on different parts of the
farm, a quarter of a mile or more apart.
The son heard his father chOpping, went to
the house and cot the gun, a small squirrel
rifle, told the family that he had found a
SQUIRRELS nest and was going to drive
the squirrels out and shoot them, took the
gun and started Off in an opposite direc-
ton from where the old man was and pass

turned under the brow of a hill
and went directly to where his father was

self to tho woods, and is now trying to
elude about sixty men in pursuit in COM
mand of the officers Of the law. What
renders the case more remarkable, is that
the entire Ward family have always been
peaceable and quiet citizens, and never
within the knowledge of the writer VIC
lated the law in . single instance before.
