Died, January 18th, JOAN H. SHIELps, son Of
Col. John c. Shields, late proprietor OF the Rich
usOnd Wing.
Mr.. Shields was instantly killed by falling from
the vain on the Atlantic, Mississippi Ohio Rail
road, while on business trip to the south western
mart of the State. The day before his death he
made public profession o. his faith, and connected
himself with the First Presbyterian church Of Rich
mond. The news Of bis death gave great shock
m the church and to the community. No young
man in our midst had brighter prospects for lite and
none could have had tenderer ties to bind him to
life. Exactly two months before his death he was
united in marriage to Miss Bette Lee Donnan, Of
this eity daughter Of the late Georee w. Donnao,
and for inst one month be had been settled IN bis
comfortable and attrac i've home The promise o.
his life was that he would be valuable member o.
the Church and most useful citizen, but God ways
are higher than our ways aud his thoughts than oul
thoughts.
The mourning for him IS universal. And al
cla ses of the community have testified their high
npreciation of his character and their deep sorrow
for his loss May God comfort his family.

In this psrilous hour in the history Of
Tennessee, the people have right to
demand the services of the best quail
fed men to represent her in the Legis-
lature. Those grave questions, taxation
and State debt, are beyond and above
thes twaddle and cheek of blOated
demagogueE' they demand real solid,
un Ehiskied brain-force, and true, IN
selfish devotion to the present and pro-
spective interests of the State. Our affairs
need that va call to the front the wor-
thiest in our midst. 8 There are many
men of the finest intellect and character
who, We admit, prefer not to :snter pub
lie life, but these very persons should be
willing 20 sacrifice something to
promote the general veal. They
should heed the popular voice and make
an Offering of time and labor in this
day of trial and danger to the Common
wealth. There are currents Of public SEN

are needed to hush into stiffness the cry

AN IMPORTANT QUESTION.

Now that much land has been sold
for non payment flakes and the State
has become purchaser in a majority of
csses,it is highly important to know what
becomes Of the County tax, School tax
and Jail tax, due the counties when par
ties go TO Nashville and redeem their
land By paying all these taxes and the
charges on the same7 The Common
wealth is sntitled only to the State tax,
while the counties. respectfully are equal
" entitled to every dime Of the Count =,
School and Jail taxes that have been
thus paid By those who redeemed, This
money should be placed to the credit
of each county and come back to those
who are the legal owners of the same.
The State sells to secure its tax and is
only g trustee for each county as to the
remaining taxes and therefore should re-
fund in every instance of redemption.
The fact Of sale does not work forfeit
ure of the taxes due each county. Sale
does not give authority to the Common
wealth to step in and sweep the platter
By no means. Let US have light on the
subject Let our county officials see
what disposition Is being made of these
several tax amounts due Hardeman
whenever one of her citizens redeems
his land.

What the Candidate for Vice Presi-

He has Fully Decided to Accept, and

INDIANAPOLIS, July I7.-Gov. Hen
bricks has arrived homo and talks freely
and confidently of the situation. He had
a very pleasant conference with Tilden,
and says the latter is a man Of nerve and
decidedly aggressive in principles. He
says the report that Tildsn is using his
influence against the repeal Of the Re-
Euption act is not true. He stands by
the platform. Reform will be the rally
ing cry of the campaign. That question,
in Tilden's mind, oyershadOws all others.
The result of the interview was that
Hendricks fully decided to accept, and
will go into the campaign as enthusiss til
cally as if be had received the first place
on the ticket.
