Humboldt.


Rev w. H. Leigh was elected
Grand Commander of the Grand En-,
campment of tie Independent Cham
pions of the Red Gross, which met in
Clarksville last week.
In the publication of Col. Days
letter last week, instead of saying be-
tween "eleven and twelve" bills, we
should have said "eleven and twelve
hundred; and instead of reducing
the judges from 50 to %, it should
have been from 50 to %.
The Journal says zone of the
leading papers of the State has now
virtually sounded the toxican of
war" Neighbor; please tell us what
kind of an instrument a toxican "
is? Does fellow have to be intoxi-
Gated to play on it? or was the word
evolved from IN intoxicated imagina-
ton?
From the Humboldt Herald.
Mr. +. l.. Benton, editor of the
BellyilIe Enterprise, and Miss Mittie
White, formerly Of Humboldt, were
united in marriage last Sunday, by
Rev Rev. W. C.Seward. They have
our earnest wishes for happy and
prosperous welded life.
The Milan Exchange, in its issue
this week reports Hon Ii. I. John
son rs saying. in his speech at Trcn-
ton on the 9TH inst, that he would
not vote for a lower compromise that
60 cents. Mr. johnson said he would
vote for the 60 cent compromise, if
no better proposition was offered by
the holders of Tennessee securities !;
but he was for the best and lowest
compromise offered.
We regret very much that we mis-
represented Mr. johnson, but our in
formation was that he said he would
resign before he would vote for the
sixty cents compromise. MIR johnson
then occupies the same platform that
the EXCHANGE does-to compromise
on the best terms possible, even at
60 cents rather than miss.
From the Humboldt Journal
Hon. Leon Trousdale addressed
very small audience last Thursday
night on the importance of public
schools. He thinks of returning here
at some future time, when the APP
pointment can be more widely circu-
lated.
There was an exciting time at the
crossing on Tuesday ewing, over some
negroes trying to take Mrs Tinsley's
nurse from her. The negroes laid
claim to the girl on account of being
next kin. Marshal Shehan interfered
and stopped the proceedings.
There are some soiled doves in
this place who are in the habit of OBJ
truding themselves into the presence
of decent people in public sitting
rooms. The board of Mayor and Al
dermen should look to this matter
and order the Marshal to keep such
characters from going into sitting
rooms that are intended for decent
people.
Trenton.
Trenton has an ugly scandal in
which man, woman and baby are
prominent. The Mirror doesn't give
the names of the guilty parties.
