wAnNNo AGAINST THE oUIcKsANDs OF
FATAIISM.

To THE EDIroR ov HERALD
Of all the many and widely different doctrines and
theories which have been advanced in the cause Of
religion there is which has taken wider hold or
which oxer;s broader influence to-day than the So
called doctrine OF "Fatalism" And It seems TO me
that nothing can be damaging in It's influence, or so
ruinous TO progress and advancement this theory,
would like to say few words in reference to H.
Churchmen and the clergy will dispute the TACT that the
fataistc principles Of the day are the result OF re-
igious teachings but claim they are as they are the
direct result OF the doctrine Of Generalization which s
taught in 80 many Of our ehurehea The man whe

Where is it SnnkP

Ever since 1857, the people of Haw-
kIns county have been paying a special
tax to meet the interest," on the railroad
bonds, and also to create sinking fund
with which to meet and pay off those
bonds when they fall due. The amount
levied over and above the annual inter
est is said to average about fifteen hun
dred dollars. That sum ought to have
been put out at interest every year, and
by this time should have made fund of
fifteen or eighteen thousand dollars.
Now, the conundrum we have to pro-
pound is this: Where is the money! In
to what fathomless abyss has that sink
ing fund gone?
Commodore Allen was an odd, eccen-
trio old bachelor who lived in Nashville
many years ago. He was specially fond
of children and kind to them, but had
very little to say to grown up people
On oiee occasion, when we were a boy,
we noticed the old Commodore in the
street, near the printing office, busy
with his walking cane turning over bits
of paper and moving all kinds of litter.
The next day he was occupied the same
way. We halted and asked the old fell
low what he was looking for?
"a five-cent piece" said he; Il lost
one here day before yesterday. 1t drop
ped out of my vest pocket when l was
getting my tooth-picker out"
"Why, you haven't been hunting two
days just for FIVE cents, have you, Com
modore?"
eyes, of course have. don't care
for the value Of it particularly, but ]
would like to know where the darned
thing has got to" And he hunted on
without another word.
And just so it is with us in this sink
ing fund business. We never expect to
see any of the money, but we would
like to know where it has been sunk.
Let US see the hole it went into and
we shall be satisfied for the present

from time immemorial When Mrs.

gusted with single life and had resolved,
if a certain s'bOnnie lassie" q0as acillfa', to
enter the list of the benedicts, we were
in doubt as to whether or not we should
give credence to this assertion of the
gossipy old lady. Our mind is no longer
clouded with a doubt "Capres" has
convinced US by his factions" that Mrs.
G. has not been guilty of Justification in
this instance, and that he meant what
he said in the matter.
On Wednesday, Nov. 18th, at II
o'clock q. M, Mr.. W. c. Wells, of
Greene county, was married to Miss
Elmina E. Doak, at the residence of the
brides father, near this place. The
marriage ceremony was performed by
the Rev. A. NJ. Doak. We hope that
their pathway in life may be attended
with the richest blessings. We hope al
so that their honeymoon may never
cease, and that their "vinegar-moon"
may never, never come.
Not long since, the citizens of the
place challenged the Academy to en-

The challenge was accepted. Fourteen

the old cross-spclling system. The eld-

The MKing CORNER. -

The old store-house at the East corn er
of the Square in Rogersville, which has
been in suit so long, has finally settled
down as the property of Messrs. Neil &
Thompson During the long contest in
the courts over the title to the real estate,
the buildings, which looked as if they
were among the first erected in the town,
had become very much dilapidated. The
house has not been used as place of
business for many years. The old corner
has now fallen into energetic hands, and
hands full enough of money, we guess,
to make change in the appearance of
the premises. Next season we expect to
see fine business house in course of
erection-one which win be an ornament
to the village, and credit to the pro-
prietors.

Mr. VIM. Simpson killed five hogs, 10
months old, on the 18th, the largest
weighing $40 pounds net, and the small
est 80 pounds. Mr. s. p. Powell killed
seven or eight 2 months-old pigs, the
largest one weighing 1917 pounds net,
and the smallest 100 pcunds. How is
that for pigs? Let us hear from Morris
town on the hog question. If Rogers

goes in on good hogs. Look out for
sausage and spare-ribs. There's good
time coming.

learn they have bought the corner known
as the old Anderson Corner" from
Messrs. Carson & Wells, and that they
contemplate building a business house
underneath and a Lodge room above
This Lodge is a good one, has good ma
terial in it. They will need SEINE as
sistance from their brethren of other
Lodges; also from the citizens of Rogers

called upon will respond as liberal as
they can. When their house is finished,
as we believe it viii be, il win be an or

Printer! DID Won Cnss !?


In sending the notice of the entertain
ment at the Female College last week,
we left one page of the manuscript lying
on the table. If the GAZETTE printer
has not on hand heavier stock of piety
or Dropriety than most members of the
art preservative of all arts" we know
he used few ctlss words when he came
to the omission. Somehow the notice
was patched up by the composition 80
that it passes, and for which Mr.. Printer,
we are obliged 20 you. But you posi-
lively must not say bad words when we
make mistakes. Be very patient now,
and when you get to be as old as we
are, you will be fully as pious.
But that left out page contained some
things which we wished to say. For
instance we had few words about the
class of little crickets" who come to the
front and sung so nicely about the
''ah's" aud "eh's." They were sweet lit
tie girls, and pleased as immensely.
We think the conductors of the school
are to be commended for introducing
the system of light gymnastics The
exercise seems to be suited for girls, and
no doubt viii result in great benefit to
them. The performance of this class at
the entertainment was appropriate and
graceful. We should like to see it re-
peated.
Among the girls at the College are
some bright minds. Evidences of in
provement were visible on this occasion
as compared with the public exercises of
six weeks before, and at the next one, if
we ever, have another, we shall expect
something better still. Don't disappoint

Small Men.


THIS seems to be the age of little men
in politics. In vain we look for a great
name in the long list of Senators, Con-
gressmen, Governors, or Legislators,
throughout the Union In statesman
ship, it is dead level from Maine to
California. There are hundreds of pub
lie men in the Union, but mediocrity is
the word which will describe the best
of them. American statesmen are men
of the past. They are dead, and their
brains seem not to have been inherited
by any Of their descendants.
But while this is so, in craftsmanship
the pulpit seems to be coming to the
front The arena of eloquence has been
transferred from the Senate chamber
and the hastings to the lecture room and
the pulpit. More than one American
divine by his oratorical powers and
splendid eloquence, or by his great zeal
and untiring energy, has made his name
known throughout the civilized nations.
1t is possible that the people are to
blame for the low order of men at pres
ent holding political positions in the
country. They do not seek for the best
talent in selecting public servants, but
too often cast their votes for the blatant,
shallow-pated demagogue instead of the
quiet, thinking man of worth and honor
Perhaps such men as Clay, Cass, Cal
houn, Webster, Douglas, Bell, &C., are
not to be found now, but one thing is
certain, far better men can be found
than those who have occupied the high
places of the Government during the last
fifteen years.
We hope the people of Tennessee will
make move in the right direction in
this matter next year. Let US tell dem
agogues, and all weak-minded and cor
rupt scamps to stay at home, and select
our best, wisest, and most reliable men
to represent us at Nashville, and then
perhaps we may have some relief from
the heavy burdens which now Cypress
the people of the whole State.
