The Democracy Of MxuTy are 8 unit
In support of the party nominees. Col
onel Avery, OF this city, was recently
invited to address the people Of Maury
at q public barbecue and his speech is
thus commented on by the Columbia
Herald: "Hon. w. T. Avery, Of Mem
phis, was introduced. Colonel Avery
was born in the FrierBon settlement in
this county, and felt like he had come
back home to his native heath. He is
an eloquent speaker, q sort of cross be-
tween Whitthorne and Dick Bullock,

party received 9 masteIly review, ex-
planning their methods By which the
bondholder was enabled 10 get what his
contract did not allow hin-the gold act
of 1859, the decentralization Of silver in
1873. Colonel Avery's strongest points,
however, were made In reference to
the policy Of hate pursued By the Re-
publican party for ten years.

the people of the south had at the close

thousand persons being present. Every
district in the county is largely repre-

music of bsnds. The colored people are
out with us in heavy force, and are join
ing heartily in the grand rally. The
crowd, after marching through town to
the Fair grounds, found that on account
of the high wind it was impossible to
hear tie speakers, and it was then de-
cided to go to the male academy, where,
for three and half hours, we were held
spell-bound by the stirring eloquence Of
Porter, Harris and Campbell. Old Fay

COLIIERvILLE, November - The

est enthusiasm prevailed. The COM
mIt.ee on cAnnonadlDg com menced H.
ing Ruyils at four O'Clock in the after
noon, and kept 1t up uatil after the pro-
cessiOn was over. A large number OF
persons were in line, all mounted. We
had many Of the notices and transpar-
encies used at Memphis on Saturday
night. The town was illumi-
mated with bonfires, fkyrockets and
Roman candles, and everything made
as brilliant as possible. Governor Har-
ris and Colonel George CAN'T made
speeches to an audience Of about one
thousand persons, including q great
many ladies. The speech OF Governor
Harris was most elaborate and con-
vincing, laying bare the villainies OF
Rsdicalism, and exhibiting the vortex
into which The Republicans are trying
10 plunge our country. Colonel CAN'T
followed Governor Harris in one Of his
hsppiest efforts, and enlisted the
profound attention Of all present
making plain the situation with most
appropriate ard amusing illustrations
flom everyday life. The speakers COW
cred themselves with glory, and re-
ceived the plsudits Of an admiring peo-
pie. Thomasism-what little is left OF
it's about to hide its little head. Por-
ter is the man for whom the people yell
and hurrsh, and for whom they will vote
tomorrow. This has been agraat field
day for the Democracy here, and the
election OF Porter and the regular nomi-
nees is assured. Rejoice with US. We

OBITUARY.
Death OF Judge Z. $. Fisher.

Once more have the unseen arrows Of death
pierced the heart of one whom We loved and
esteemed SOTnbre garments tell US that an
other family circle has been broken Into BY
the ruthless destroyer. " All flesh IS grass
and as the movers scytbe suddenly removes
#, so swift-fOOted death OVeFtaEes Wneh we
least think OF 1t, and our tears cannot keep
our friends, nor can our signs reanimate their
dust Judge h. =. FISHER, one of our best law
yers, died very suddenly Thursday night, from
sn attack OF apOpleXy. he had been unusu-
ally jovial all the evening. and with his usual
mlrthful and interesting conversation,
eheered the faces of friends. About nine
o'clock he com mplained 20 hts son Of severe
pain over his left eye, and let the porch 70
seek relief on his bed. While attempting II
he fell, and few hours later his sDrrOWtng
friends stood beside his corpse. He leaves be-
hind a widow, daughter and two sons IN the
morning he spoke to US OF MS future plans,
and his hope to have soon his wife and
daughter with him, and spend the last days OF
his life with them In our midst; and at night
he was called before higher court than thai
before which he used to plead 50 successfully.
Judge FISHER was born at Danvile, Boyle
county, Kentucky, In NoVemDerr lhl5r anu
was educated at Center College, located at the
same place. In 1888 he emigrated 10 Nlczs-
burg, Miss, and having completed his law
studies under General Joseph Holt OF the
same place, was admitted 10 the bar in 1888.
He was married in YaLObUshs county, Miss
10 1872. In the same year he was elected 70
the legislature of the above state, and in lS1l
as Associate Justice Of the supreme Court
which position he held until 1858, In ls6j he
was a candidate for Governor OF ID isslSslpp
being Unanimously nominated by the COnstf-
tutionaI Convention OF that State and was
defeated by Governor Humphreys From 1870
he was Judge Of the Twelfth Circuit of Mis-
sissiDDi until he resign ed July >, 1910. On the
first Of July, 1873, he came 70 Georgetown and
engaged on the tweDty-fOurth IN the practice
of his profession. Although acquainted with
him only short time, we found udge FISH E&
to be 8 thOrOush gentlsman, OF a cultivated
mind and rehned manners. All who have
known him speak OF him as an energetic,
studious and peTsevering lawyer, and the ex-
tensiye practice which he 50 soon acquired Is
the best proof OF the high confidence which
the public had in his ability. The book OF his
life Is closed. In his sixty-first year, in the
midst OF his usefulness, in the enjoyment or
coed health, suddenly he was called away,
and with his mourning widow and children
we mourn the loss OF q good citizen, pleas
ant companion, and what is more than this,
OF man covered with the Well-deserved
Iaursls which he has won by a wen and use

It is not true that the United States

THE EsPANIsH-AMERICAN EXTRADITIoN.
WASHINGTON, November Con
trary to prevailing reports no correspond
encs has recently passed between the
governments Of the United States and
Great Britain concerning the extradi-
ton treaty. There is now no serious
subject Of controversy between the
United States and Spain, the latter hsv-
ing in spirit Of friendship acceded to
the views of the former for the trial of
American citizens in the Island of Cuba
accused Of crime before civil tribunals.
Neither the state nor navy depastment
has recent information concerning the
United States steamship franklin, but
1t is supposed that she will be heard
from some time this week. There is no
doubt but that Tweed, the prisoner on
board, will be delivered to the New
York State authorities Immediately on
his arrival. IL is not probable that the
official correspondence en- the subject
will bepublished before the meeting OF
congress. When the Spanish govern
ment informed the Uhited States OF
Tweed's arrest and its readiness to sur
render him in accordance with the
wishes Of our government, the Ameri-
can legation was instructed to conduct
the arrangements to that end.
Look out for bogus Democratic
