East Hillians were thrown into
widest CONSERVATION Sunday by
seeing dust rise in their street. 1t
was so unusual circumstance, and
not because they are excitable or
easily scared. We have seen them
stand by with their hands in their
pockets and whistle when wagons
and teams were going down and
droves oe cattle were plunging one
on top OF another into the vortex.
If they don't carry out the plan of
taking off the top crust and adver-
Using it as the Mammoth Cave, we
think every citizen over there should
carry brick in his hat every time
he goes home and deposit it in the
road, and it wouldn't stop the Cen
tennial if they were to fall in them
selves occasionally.

Nearly every country paper you
pick up says that it has the largest
circulation in a hundred miles
around. Papers in the same
town say this, and everybody knows
that one of them is lying about it.
Suppose, for instance, that the Co
lumbia Journal should say that it
had the largest circulation of any
paper in this Congressional district,
and then somebody would count the
subscribers and come and count
the CITIZENS subscribers, and find
that the CITIZEN had some three
hundred more than the Journal,
how ashamed the Journal would be!
We suppose the journal has all it
can get, but the CITIZEN has every
man in Giles county upon its books
who can read. If not, the man has
lately learned to read, and Wen get
him before long. And we get all
these men by telling them that we
havn't got a single subscriber, and
if VIC don't get one, the CITIZEN
will die; and if we die, Giles and
Maury will be consolidated; and
if Maury gets to furnishing the lit
tie county officers We have been
permitted to elect, may the good
Lord deliver usl

Remedy for Hard Times,

Newspapers discussing the cause of
and remedies for the hard times, agree
that while individual extravaganza has
been greatly the cause, iRdiUidual eeonO-
nly is indispensable to the removal of our
financial troubles. In plain words, we
must retTeneh, retrench-untn our in
come shows that shilling outside of
yearly expenses in which Aicawber de-
clared true joy was only to be found.
There is no better way to retrench than
to attain economical habits. These may
be acquired by keeping a daily expense
account. This viii show where the
money goes, and viii cause us each
month to resolve to lessen our expendi-
lures. The best book of this kind is
published by T. J. MORROW of Al and
43 Warren ST., New York. 1t is ar
ranged for young and old, married and
single. The classification embraces ev-
cry line of expenditure, and presents a
daily, monthly, and yearly exhibit.

We are indebted to Miss Ada A,
one Of our beautifulest young ladies,
for the northeast corner of a gin
ger cake, presented to US on the
street the other day. Capt. J.P A.
and his accomplished lady were
present and aided and allotted in the
transaction. We hated to deprive
them of it, they were enjoying it so
much, but how could we refuse
when she offered with such winning
grace a delicate hunk broken with
her own delicate fingers from a
sorghum cake about the size of a
dashboard? Thanks.

A little child of Rachael Wilson,
cold, died very suddenly in the
south end of town last Friday, and
her neighbors said that she had
whipped it to death. She came tor
DR.. Wilson and protested her limo
cence and got him to go down and
examine the child. He found no
external marks Of violence and
made a post norton examination and
discovered that the child had died
from a complication of diseases, the
heart, the lungs and the bowels be
ing affected. If this examination
had not been made, the woman
might have suffered in the future
the penalty for murder, all because
her neighbors were malicious Sian
derers.

Mr.. j. H. Morris.

We interviewed this gentleman
yesterday as to the reports pub
lished in Northern papers of his
murder. He does not know how
the report started, but supposes that
it arose from a report that another
Morris was killed some weeks ago
in another part of the State. We
asked him, in the event the report
a0as true, what was his condition
and feelings while he was murdered.
He answered that he could not 10
cate the place, but that he knew he
was in state of perfect tranquility,
for he had his first mess of turnip-
greens that day. He says that the
marks of his wounds have entirely
disappeared and that he never would
have known of his murder if he
hadn't seen it in print in a religious
paper land they cannot lie), but he
is determined that if he is ever muir
dered again he is going to know it
as quick as anybody. 1t is very
unpleasant to be hurried of in such
foul manner and not know any
thing about it for a week or two.
He pinches himself every few min
utes to see if it is him, and he never
fully realized that the thing was a
mistake until yesterday when he
happened to look in his pocket book
and recognized its emptiness. We
are glad he amt dead, but if we find
we are mistaken about it, we will
write at once to Senator Morton.

Nearly all our lawyers went to
Supreme Court, and one evening
they formed party and called on
the penitentiary. The Warden is
peculiarly kind to lawyers, for they
make his living, and he was show
ing these gents around through the
wards, when every few minutes one
of them would say; "Hold on, fell
lows; here's one of my clients.
Wait'n I speak to him." He re
peated this so often that the
Warden's attention was directed to
it, and he asked the lawyer, What S
your district, Mr.. Attorney-Gen-
eral?' See the point? We are
afraid to say more.

wildcat Whisky.

The whisky business in this dis
trict has undergone considerable
changes in the past five years. The
district is composed of the counties
of Giles, Lincoln, Bedford, Moore,
Franklin, Coffee, Cannon, Ruther-
ford and Marshall. Five years ago
when COLI. H. Morris took charge,
there was but one regular distillery
in the district, and now there are
forty. About 125 illicit concerns
have been torn up, and some of the
parties who run wildcat are now
regularly engaged in the business
and are the most jealous informers
the officers meet up with.
