j. w. ParmeIee & Co.

We call attention to the new adver-
tisement of the extensive Notion and
White Goods house of Messrs. j. w.
Parmelee s. Co., Knoxville, in to-day's
paper. Occupying one of the largest
business houses in the city, the extensive
establishment has all of its different
floors crowded with the various lines of
goods. Their stock is simply immense
And as one of the firm has headquarters
in New Y ork the house possesses unequal
led facilities for always procuring new
and desirable goods at the lowest prices
Mr.. VIM. M. House, we'll known to the
trade of Knoxville, is a mem
Der of the firm and his assiduous atten-
ton to business, and his indefatigable
endeavors to adapt his stock to the de-
mands of the large class of country Iner-
chants who obtain their supplies in
merit for his house the liber-
al patronage it is receiving.

Homicide AID Warm Springs.

John Rhinehart deliberately killed a
man by the name of Turner at Warm
Springs, N. c., last Saturday morning
The particulars, as we learn them from
parties coming from the Springs, are as
follows: Rhinehart and Turner, old
men and generally regarded as hard
cases, aged respectively about 20 and go,
occupy cabins near each other on the
opposite side of the river from the Warm
Springs Hotel. Friday evening Rhine
hart, in a drunken spree, was whipping
and abusing his wife, when Turner, at
tracted by tine screams of the woman,
came to her relief and made Rhinehart
stop his brutality. Considerable quar-.
reling occurred between the men, but
they did not come TO blows, Rhinehart
declining to fight Turner, as the latter
proposed as more manly than to fight a
woman. Saturday morning, just after
daylight, while Turner was standing in
his cabin door, Rhinehart, from the in
side of his cabin, taking rest aud de-
liberate aim with rifle gun through a
ChACA III bhC lOSSs diSChAa Ecu ~ Duftc6
that entered the body of Turner above
one hip and penetrated sideways through
the body, coming out above the other
hip, and producing death in twenty min
utes after the shot. Rhinehart made no
denial of the crime, nor efforts to escape,
and appeared indifferent as to the con
sequences. He was arrested and taken
to Marshall. Turner is said to have
formerly lived in this town.

MnnicinaI ELECTION.

At the Post-offfce we notice an adver-
tisement, signed by Sheriff Boyd, from
which we learn that on Saturday, the
18th inst, an election for Mayor and Az
dermen of the great corporation of the
town of Morristown viii be opened and
held. The squabbling, pickering, strife
and general turmoil and dissatisfaction
that have prevailed in all municipal af
fairs during the last year, we hope will
have now taught our people a lesson by
which they win profit. Something must
be done. 'Its on the bills and bound TO
be did" A very heavy Indebtedness
hangs over us-and the day of payment
comes on apace. The money to foot
this little bin of from SIS, 900 to $40, 900
must come out of the pockets of the peo-
pie. A pleasant prospect, truly, while
we will venture TO say there is mary a
red" in the treasury, with which to be
gin the Liquidation. This election is
matter of no little interest and impor-
tance TO the taxpayers and property
holders of the town. If our people sleep
much longer and let the thing 'rock
along" as they have during the past
years, one of these days there will be an
awakening more rude than pleasant.
One of two things must be done-let the
corporation go to the dogs''-and when
its bonds become due allow their hold
ers to enforce payment through the
courts, or elect a Board of intelligent,
live men; men who have some interest
at stake in the welfare of the town,
and who are willing and able to take
steps to avert the calamity impending
over us. Go and vote, and vote for men
of the right stamp.

The District School Ia.

The following paragraph from the
Shelbyville Gasette win probably be of
interest to our readers, especially to those
of the town school district The Shelby
willie school district levied a special
school tax under the provisions of the
School law making the districts incor-
pOrated towns. The tax was resisted by
an injunction bill on the part of few
tax payers:
Yesterday morning, at the opening of
ChRncery Court, Judge Marks delivered
q very elaborate opinion in the case of
Thos LipscQnb ct ais. VS.. John r. Dean,
County superintendent, which had a
hearing at the March term of the Court,
the Judge reserving his discision till
this term. He decided that the Special
School tax, levied In this municipal cor
pOration, and which the complainant re-
sisted, was clearly Unconstitutional, and
without authority of law or equity
During bis remarks he facetiously said
that a School District could as well be
called county as an Incorporated town
the latter being one of the pleas Of the
defense. The defendant will take an
appeal TO the Supreme Court.

Death of a worthy Man.

We are panied to notice in late num-
Der of the Nashville american the
death of Frank c.. Huntington, an es-
Unable citizen and Clerk of the Supreme
Court of the State, for the Middle Di-
vision, who died at his home in Column
bia, few days since, in the 10th year of
his age. Mr.. Huntington was born in
Kentucky, but has been a resident OF
this State from his boyhOod. He was at
one time connected with the Nashville
Union and Aneg5oan, and was man OF
ability and worth. In speaking ~of his
goOdly qualities the AmerScan says he
was earnest, honest, sincere and courage
Gus. His mind was carefully analytic
and strong, comprehensive, clear and
logical; yet nc reached none of his con-
illusions without the combined processes
of the intellect aud the heart. Thus his
conclusions became conscientious con
vietiOns. They necessarily controlled
his actions and his life. They made of
him firm friend and steadfast man in.
all he undertook. He was frank and
generous, possessed of as few faults as
fall to the lot of man. He has passed
from the earth leaving widow and two
whose grief no language can
express. The scenes aud friends which
have known him through life shall know
linn no more forever Thus closes tile
career of a good and upright man.
Everlasting peace 10 his ashes.

A Bold Transaction.

Last Thursday morning couple of
young men, named Alex. Hickey and
Joe Kidwell, living somewhere near
Talbot's, brought to the residence of J.
e. Hodges, near this place, a yoke of
oxen, which they represented as belong
ing to them, and were DESTROYS of sell
ing. Dir. Hodges, after they had an
swered satisfactorily good many ques-
tiOns, agreed to give them their price, if
they would drive the animals to the
town scales and have them weighed. By
weight the steers came to $45, which
Mr. Hodges paid into the hands of
Hickey. The young men left soon after
on the western bound train. A few
hours after the purchase, it was discover
ed that the oxen had been stolen from
Mr.. Alfred Carter, of the vicinity of
Talbot's, and he replevined and took his
property home. Pursuit was made for
the thieves and after a long chase Joe
KidweH was captured at Newport last
Friday. Joe says they both started for
North Carolina, but knowing they were
pursued they had to dodge about good
deal, and lost time. When near New
port, Hickey pursuaded Kidwell to go
into town for some whisky, while he
would await his return in a safe place.
The news of their crime had alrendy
been communicated in that place, and
when Kidwell entered the grocery and
asked for liquor, he was recognized and
at once arrested He acknowledged his
completely, but denied having sold the
oxen or of receiving any of the money.
Search was made for Hickey, where he
had been left, but the bird had flown.
Kidwell was taken from Newport Sat
urday to cambridge where he win have
his trial. Hickey is still at large.

We clipped this straight forward para
graph from the Chattanooga CONNER
cial week or two ago. 1t is in reply to
flew lines in the Nashville Bnlle tin
asking the Commercial to explain where
it stands on the all-absorbing ''dog ques-
ton:
1--WE are for the sheep and against the
dogs. We are for the man who would
better his condition, and add to the gem
eral wealth, by growing wool We
would be merciful and just to the poor
man who starves his lamily and lets his
children go ragged, that he may feed q
half dozen ours, and we would induce
him to kill the dogs and turn his atten-
ton to husbandry and honest labor.
But if he soiU keep a flock of worthless
dogs, and not flock of valuable sheen
we shall insist that he must pay for his
privilege, In keeping them he reduces
the wealth of the State a hundred fold
beyond the value of his dogs, and TINS
shortens the public revenue If we are
to have no sheep to tax, because for
sOoth a great many people must and
viii keep dogs, then the dogs must make
up the deficit. The denaaggoguery
that bowls about the law taxing dogs
being an Ubiquitous partisan measure,
for the benefit of the rich and oppression
of the poor, il simply disgusting. The
editor of the Bulletin, we are persuaded
knows better than he is doing in refer
ence to this question. And We still
think be ought to be ashamed of his
performances. liz he is not his case is
wellnigh hopeless.

t. Publishers Of newspapers-and
more especially local newspapers-have
to depend mainly upon their advertising
columns for their support. Yet how
many are there who seem not to realize
this fact Instead of giving their paper
liberal advertising patronage, they per-
haps give it none; and If q levee or en-
tertainment is got up in the place, the
paper is expected to notice it for nothing.
Now if all the patronage that paper
can expect Is that of the locality for
whose interest it works, it would seem
that every one should give it the adver-
Using that legitimateIy belongs to 1t, and
not try to get along without paying for
it. There is class of people that seem
to begrudge every dollar that goes to
their local papers; and still borrow it
and are the severest critics of its short
comings.
The publisher has to pay for labor and
paper, and every notice of any kind, in
the nature of an advertisement he ought
to have his pay for. He has got to get
his living out of his advertising columns
and any society or individual can with
just as much propriety beg five dollars of
any other individual. as to expect it gra-
tuitously of a newspaper.
Amy man who does not think enough
of his towns paper, and every trqder
who does not believe in advertising,
should move into some town where ghey
have no paper Gardiner JEournal.
