Ice Nanufncfu i'm ChattanOO-
Chattanooga Times, June lOD

Chattanooga Times, June 100
We have become so accustomed al
ready to obtaining cheap ice that we
hardly ever stop to think to whom
we are indebted for this great bless
ing The reduction of the price OF
ice from 3 to l cent pound retail Is
due entirely to the establishment OF
the Chattanooga Ice Factory, who
can make ice as cheap as 1t can bG
cut out of the northern lakes and
sold for at the spot. We were i'll the
factory yesterday and found them get
ting out car load of ice for shipment
SOuth. The ice accumulateS much
faster than it can be sold at present,
the daily yield being five tons. The
ice il beautifully clear and hard, fully
equal to the best lake ice. 1t Is real
ly wonderful to see the rows OF col
ums of ice twenty feet high and from
two to three feet in diameter, ana 10
reflect that while these were forming,
thermometer on the outside had stood
at so deg. and over. The cOnsump-
ton of sixteen bushels of coal daily
converts five tons of water INTO Ice.
This surpasses as a paradox the Old
chemical wonder of loading cam OF
with water and firing it With 3
piece Office, or the other stranger Oh
freezing a lump of ice in a red ho'
crucible.
The people of Chattanooga should
give the ice factory liberal support
| Every family will now find it encon'
omicaI to use ice. Five cents Wortl
Office daily through the summer WI
save many times its value of perish
able articles, besides adding greatly tc
| the comfort of life. No Northern ice
company can retail ice here at
profit for less than two cents, bu
while the ice factory continues, I'M
retail price will never go above on
cent.

Jordan Holt, a young negro man, vio

Mr.. Brom. Ridley, and other brave citi-

determined to send the prisoner to Nash

ing their duty, they were severely de
nounced. Last week Deputy went
after Woodson to bring him to AW-
freesboro for trial When the neighbor
hood ofSalem heard of it, they determln-
ed to lynch him, The Sheriff heard Of
it, and got Brom Ridley to write and
send telegram to the Deputy not 90

50 exasperated at being cheated a second
time, that they came to town and threat
ened to lynch the Sheriff They heard
that Mr.; Ridley had sent the telegram,
aud came to see him about it, doubtless
expecting to kill him, He met them al
his door aud told them not to come in.
They asked him if he had written that
telegram, and he replied that he had, and
was responsible for it; that he did il TO
protect the county from disgrace which
they desired to bring upon it, that he was
tor Furnishing criminals, but he WAS for
doing it in the legal way, and he intended
to oppose lawlessness in all its forms,
and defend the law with his life if neces-
sary. Mr.. Ridley's bold and defiant at
titude toward this mob (many of whom
were reputable citizens) cowed and dis
may ed them, and they went away without
| accomplishing their purpose. We men
ton this simply to show what one resO-
lutte, brave man may do in the presence
of a mob. They know they are in the
wrong, and his boldness, which he gets
by virtue of being in the right, scatters
| and humans them.
No matter what may be the aggrav a
ton; no matter how great a crime ha'
been committed; no matter how wild witt
the madness of revenge the populace may
be-let few men be found to stand vi
for the law; stand up ready to sacrifice
their lives to protect the law, though it b.
also to defend a criminal. Surely fey
really brave men can be found in every
community, and wherever they can bt
found the law will be protected under an,

The Tennessee Editors and Proprietors
held their annual meeting at Murfreesbo-
no ON Thursday, and Friday of last week.
They were met at the Depot and con-
veyed 60 the residence of private citizens,
where they were elegantly entertained.
Major Murfree made an eloquent speech
of welcome, which was replied to in a
happy manner by the President, L. W..
Neal Gen. Palmer, of MurfreesbOro, be-
INC called on made a very well timed
speech, in which ne uttered sound nation
al sentiments. Gen. Palmer commanded
all the Tennessee Infantry at the Surren-
der. and he spoke the sentiments of his
soldiers in these words Gen. NJ. j.
Wright, of Columbia, and w. J. Slater,
of Winchester, made short addresses.
The corporation gave an elegant and
sumptuous banquet to the Association
Thursday night. Friday evening Major
u. IL. c. Spence gave another. On both
of these occasions eIoquence flowed as a
river.
Columbia was chosen as the place for
the next annual meeting. Major Joseph
Barbierc, of Memphis, was elected Pres
ideut and A. r. Upshaw, c. L, Lockwood
and Dr.. Il. NJ. Dickinson, Vice Presidents.
Dr. White was reelected Secretary, of
course. and w. A. Wade, was reelected
Treasurer. Col. Marsh I. Polk, of BOli-
var, is to deliver the next grafton; Mrs.
\. G. Graves, of Winchester the next
poem, and Col. Thos. Boyers, of Gallatin,
abe next address
Friday night a magnificent banquet
was given by Major ]. D. Richardson,
which lasted until late hour at night.
The Grafton by Major Barbicre, on
Thursday night, and the Address on Fri
day night by Mr.. Henry Watterson, were
very fine. Major Barbiere's subject was
the balance of Power. He was learn
ed and eloquent, but we cannot accept
his opinion that we are to have other
wars soou. Mr. Watterson's address was
practical, and full of good advice to news
paper men. He said editors of country
newspapers do not honor their calling
sufficiently President Meals parting
address WAS admirable and well-timed.
Thus passed away the most pleasant
meeting of the Association we ever at
tended. The warm-hearted hospitality OF
the people Of Murfreesboro cannot be
cxcolled. Gov. Porter aud Gen. Penny
packer were present, and the latter
brought his magnificent band from Nash
VILE to play for the occasion.

GEN. Pennypacker, commanding the
post at Nashville, accompanied the Press
Association last week, and then went back
TO Nashville and carried his superb band
of music to Murfreesboro, to lend dignity
aud pleasure to the occasion. This is es
peciaIly noticeable, because Federal Gen
erals are not in the habit of manifesting
any regard for the Southern people. In
Gen. Pennypacker's conduct, we recog'
nize the actions of a patriot and states
man. He feels it his duty to make mani
fest to our people the desire of the North
for a real reconciliation between the sec
tons, and he cannot so well do so as by
mingIing with them socially, and joining
IN their festivities. He was crippled fol
life in the war, and can afford to mingle
with ex-Confederates Let good men
like Gen. Pennypacker be sent to every
position in the South, and in few years
a strong and healthy regard and aztec
ton for the Union will prevail.

Don't Hack, Hack, Cough, Cough!

Cough is a symptom by which various dis
eased conditions Of the throat, bronchial tubes
and lungs manifest themselves. But whether
it arises from the irritation produced in the
throat and larynx by taking cold, from an at
tack of Bronchitis, from incipient Consump-
ton, or from various other causes, nothing
will allay it more speedily or cure it more
permanently than DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. 1t does not matter whether it be
a recent attack or a lingering cough, the
Discovery is in either case equally well adapt
ed for its relief and permanent cure. In
fact, it will cure a cough in one-half the time
necessary to cure it with any other medicine,
and it does it, not by drying it up, but by re-
moving the cause, subduing the irritation
and healing the affected parts No time
should be lost il commencing the use of a
proper medicine for the relief of a cough, for,
unless this course is pursued, serious and
dangerous disease of the lungs is liable to re-
suit. Golden Medical Discovery is sold by
all dealers in medicines.

The Abuse of Appetite.

THE appetite is one of the least appre-
ciated of natures gifts to man. 1t is
generally regarded in this work-a-day
world as something to be either starved
or stufed-to be got rid of at all events
with the least inconvenience possible.
There are people who are not only glad
that they have been endowed with sound,
healthy bodies, for which nature de-
mands refreshment and replenishment,
but they are actually ashamed to have
it known that they are sustained in the
usual manner. The reason Of this we
are at a loss to conceive. Every body ad-
mires beauty and there can be no true
beauty without good health; and no
good health without regular and I'M
varying appetite. We are disinclined to
let appetite take any responsibility on
itself. If we happen to consider it too
delicate we try to coax it, perhaps slim
ulate it with highly seasoned Or fanciful
ly-prepared food. There are times when
this may seem necessary, as in the case
of person so debilitated as to depend
for daily strength on what he eats. But
usually the cajoling process is mistake.
If the appetite of an individual in fair
bodily condition be occasionally slender,
it is no cause for alarm, and it should be
allowed to regulate itself. 1t may safe
ly be considered natures protest against
some transgression, and it is wise not to
attempt coercion.
At certain seasons, as IN the spring
and summer, the appetite of even the
robust is apt to fail, and the relish for
meats and heavy food to wane. This is
all right enough, for animal diet in
warm weather heats the blood, tends to
headaches and is generally unwhole
some, unless sparingly used. On the
other hand, fresh vegetables, berries,
fruit and bread are cooling, corrective,
and what the palate most Graves. Don't
be afraid to 90 without meat a month or
so; and if you like, live purely on vege-
table regimen. We will warrant that
you will lose no more strength than is
common to the time, and that you will
not suffer from protracted heat as when
dining on the regulation toast.-GO0d

chirping is the sweetest of all street
sounds We give them the right of way;
some of US train vines and cultivate the
clematis against the bleak sides of our
houses that they may have comforta-
BILE home; and we have seen many
a land near to the sparrow's native isle
sweep the crumbs that have fallen from
her own or her mistress table where the
hungry seekers after food might find
them. Indeed, we have taken the little
strangers to our hearts and fed them
with our own hands; but not so the
farmers hereabout. The sparrow has
multiplied and migrated, and all the
country round about now knows him, al
though not as well as we CO. Still we hear
an occasional protest against him from
the agriculturist. Where he has not the
tender, juicy grub and rich sweepings of
the kitchen to eat and grow fat on he
helps himself to the equally nutritious
grain in the husbandman's fields. The
devices that intimidate the crow are
wasted on him, and he breeds faster than
the enraged bucOlic can load and reload
his gun. We do not wish to anticipate
evil, but wise men tell US that the day
will come when the farmers of the sub
urban counties will declare that the
people of Philadelphia opened a Pan
dora's box when they swung back the
doors of the cages in which the sparrows
were imported. Still, this is something
that worries the townsmau in small
degree; he has not the grub and he has
the bird, a pleasant, cOmpanionable sort
of fellow, who has added another eIe-
ment to city life and given the streets a
new attraction. We believe the Colora-
dams will like the sparrow too, and that
he will eXterminate their pests. Certainly
he will increase as fast as the grasshOp-
per. The 500 brought to Philadelphia
five years ago and their descendants now
number, or would number, if a census
were taken, more than 10000, 900. If
this flock could not cope with the largest
army of lOCusts that ever marched across
the plains and fell upon fair Nebraska
and free Kansas the people of those IN
fortunate States had best abandon their
present homes and in one numerous car
avian seek the eastern bank of the Mis-
sissippi River and the Atlantic slope

The Sparrow VS.. Grasshopper.

ONE Western State, or Territory at
least, is to make a systematic attempt to
destroy the plague Of the plains, which
our readers are doubtless aware is the
insect commonly called the grasshopper,
but which is more properly the locust.
The fell destroyer which has ravaged the
fields of Kansas and Nebraska, eating the
substance of the people and creating
famine in what has been called the
granary of the nation, has thus far met
with no opposition formidable enough to
arrest his march. Fire and smoke, flood
and broom, have alike failed to>stay the
progress of this modern scourge, which
sets on cOnQuering and to conquer"
Colorado, which has in the last ten years
attracted to itself the bravest sons and
faireSt daughters of the East, has re
solved, however, not to be over-run
without struggle, and she has sum-
moned to her aid that faithful ally OF
man in his warfare against the insect
family-the English sparrow. A con-
Certed movement to import large num-
bers of these birds is now on foot in
Denver and the first importation, which
will include numerous orders, will be
made during the summer. Ne predict
success for the plucky Coloradans. The
sparrow is the mortal enemy OF the grub,
grasshopper and other insects, for they
are his favorite food and his appetite is
voracious. But he will not prove wholly
a blessing this Saucy cheerful LITTLE
stranger from over the sea. Like his
fellow British subject his naturalization
is an easy matter and he increases
even more rapidly A few Years
ago, certainly not more than five, 800 of
these little .emigrantS were invited to
take up their abode in Philadelphia, to
rescue the shade trees in our streets and
parks from the ravages of the disgusting
Grub that breeds the chronological
miller. The 500 did their work well, and
the nuisance has been abated and the
danger is past, but there are 100000 of
the birds now They fill every tree in
the city with their nests, the streets are
fuller of them than they are OF pedes-
trians, they forage in the backyard under
the nose of Biddy, and pick up their
monday meals on the pavements without
fear of the small boy. All this Is very
agreeable to the jewellers in the city.
lhe sight of the sturdy, plump little
fellows In ssrown is not unpleasant, and
calls up associations for which every
cary man signs in vain; their innocent
