A Card.

EDITORS CHRONICLE: l wish to
state through the columns of your
paper to my numerous friends who
have so urgently insisted upon my
becoming a candidate for Mayor at
the ensuing city election, that my
services are at their disposal, and, if
elected to that Office, I pledge myself
to my friends and fellow-citizens
that no cliques or rings in the adj
ministration of the affairs of the city
will be permitted during my term,
and all works and improvements
that may be required to be done by
the city shall be advertised and let
to the lowest responsible bidder al
so all disbursements of the funds of
the city shall be fully published, so
that every citizen may know how
every dollar of their money is appro-
priated and paid out at every meet
ing of the Board. / am, gentle
men, most respectfully yours,
G. WENZLER.

Catholic Fair.

The Catholic Fair comes off in
Franklin Hall next Tuesday even
ing, the 18th inst, and continues
three nights. 1t promises to be OF
more than usual interest this year.
There will be two fancy tables, each
containing a choice selection of ar
ticles. One of these tables will be
in charge of Mrs. Parlin, Mrs. Kear-
ney and Miss Julia Abbott; the
other in charge of Mrs. S. Sullivan,
Miss MOllie Walsh and Miss Jane
Mccarthy. These ladies will take
pleasure in showing you anything
on their tables, and, unless it be
your own fault, will readilypersuade
you it is just the thing you need.
The most substantial thing in the
hall will be the supper table, in
charge of Mrs. A. We'll and Mrs.
NJ. Sullivan. This table has an adj
vantage over the others, for here
everyone draws prize; there are
no blanks, unless you've got the
dyspepsy, in which case stay away,
for you cannot see this table and not
take supper, as it only costs 80 cents.
Mrs. Frayser and Miss Brannigan
have charge of the refreshment
stand. Ask for lemonade or candy;
the one will keep you cool, the other
sweeten your temper-necessary
conditions to every rational eujOy-
ment.
A music band will be on hand
each evening, and for a couple of
hours before closing the quadrille
will be in order. There will be en-
jOyment for all.
Several young gentlemen have
been appointed "FloOr Managers,
who will see that the programme is
carried out; that during the Fair
nothing shall occur but what is fair,
and that each visitor to the Fair
shall himself do the "fair" and
square" thing.
Admission to the hall % cents.
Tickets at the door.

The warehouse case.

An important trial was held and
decided last week in reference to
fraudulent dealings after advances
on crops. This was the case of the
State against VIM. Gosset, who was
indicted for obtaining money for his
crop of tobacco and afterwards
disposing of it to other par
ties without refunding the adj
vances. The indictment was made
under statute of the General AS
sembly of this State passed in 1875
(chap. 94S12, which subjects, trans
actions ofthe sort to criminal process
and inflicts as penalty fine and
imprisonment at the discretion of
the jury, within the amount of five
years imprisonment or $1,000 fine.
The parties in this case making the
advances were Messrs. Smith d Ken
nedy, warehousemen, whoadvanced
5000 on the crop of the defendant
who afterwards sold it to a firm in
Nashville. Much sympathy was
exhibited for the defendant in con-
sideration of his age and previous
respectability, but all concur that
the verdict was a righteous one
which imposed fine of 81, 800.
Cases of this kind had become
alarmingly frequent before the pas
sage of the above act, and it was
agreed that either they must be cut
short by stringent legislation or the
practice of giving advances on crops
must come to an end. Tobacco
growers are more interested than
any one in the rigid enforcement of
this law, unless they are disposed to
relinquish theaccommOndation they
at present receive of advances upon
their crops.
Thedefendant, we understand, APP
peals to the Supreme Court to test
the consiitutionality of the act.

Tribute of ReSnecf.

The following resolutions were
unanimously adopted at a meeting
of the Waverly (Tenn.) bar, held in
that city on Tuesday, Nov. 9th, for
the purpose of taking action in refe-
renee TO the death of their honored
friend and townsman, Colonel V. S.
Allen, who died in this city on the
23d of August, 1877:
Resolved, That in the death of Colonel V.
S. Allen the Bar has lost one of its most es-
teemed members-one who regarded the pro-
fession to which he belonged as an honorable
one who so demeaned himself as to receive
the best wishes of his professional brethren
in life, and whose death ain the midst of his
days" is a source of profound sorrow and re-
greet.
Resolved, That we tender his sorrowing
widow our sincerest coincidence in her sad
bereavement, and that she be furnished with
a COPY of these proceedings.
Resolved, That the proceedings of this
meeting be presented by the members of the
Bar, who shall be appointed for that purpose,
to the Circuit and Chancery Courts of Hum
phreys county, with a request that the same
be entered upon the minutes of said Courts
respectively, and that the Waverly Journal,
GAINESVILLE CHRONICLE and MurfreeSboro
News be requested to publish the same.

Great Rock Auction.

We take it for granted that every
body will attend the auction adver-
tised for Thursday, the 18th inst,
of the library of the late Prof. VIM.
NJ. Stewart, AS we publish the list
of books in another column, it is
needless to dwell on the merits Of
this extensive and well selected col
lection. 1t is only necessary for us
to point out that standard works in
art, science and literature of the
very highest stamp abound in it !;
indeed it is sufficient to say that it
is the library of VIM. NJ. Stew
art in order to convince buyers that
there is no trash in it. However,
those who propose to invest, can
assure themselves of the quality of
the books by an inspection on Tues
day, Wednesday and Thursday at
the auction rooms of Messrs. Hy-
man & Hay.

Now Teachers a, the Academy.

MatrimOny seems to be a deter
mined antagonist to DIR. Plummer
in maintaining the organization Of
his academical staff. Miss Ella
Hall and Miss Shackleford have
both abandoned education as pro-
fessiOn and accepted domestic hap
piness in the place of it. Our worthy
Principal, however, is not to be
beaten and has alread applied the
place of the secedins, ladies by two
others, Miss Mary J. Thomas I'M
dertaking the musical department
in the place of Miss Hall, and Miss
George A. Green the literary duties
of Miss Shackleford. Both these
ladies are from Georgia, the former
from Columbus, the latter from At
lanta, and both bring the highest
order of recommendation with
them. We have seen a letter from
the pastor of the Methodist Church
in Columbus, of which Miss Thomas
was q communicate and Organist.
In this letter the moral and intel
lectual qualities ofthey young lady are
endorsed in most enthusiastic terms.
Now, gentlemen, let the academi-
cal staff alone for little while.
! Brother Plummer cannot forever be
hunting up new teachers, and if
! there are any more secessiOns he
/ will be driven to the alternative of
engaging the ugliest and sharpest
tempered old maids in the market.

FRIal Accident.

Richard WEIGH, a stOne-cutter of
this city, was killed by fall from
his horse last Saturday night. He
had been drinking freely during
the day, and late in the evening
was seen leaving the city, but re-
turned again that night, and in
riding along Madison street between
the railroad bridge and the resi-
dence of Mr.. John Shelton, where
there is a high fill in the road, his
horse, which is blind, got too near
the edge of the embankment, it is
supposed, and slipped. 1t is thought
that the struggles of the horse to
regain its footing caused the saddle
girth to break, and threw the rider
down the embankment against a
fence, where he was found next
morning with his neck broken and
the face and head horribly bruised.
The accident must have occurred
early in the night, as the body when

WE learn from our correspondent
at McAllister's X Roads that a walk
ing cane was presented few days
ago by DR.. Clayton Alternately, OF
Pulaski, Tenn, to his brother, Mr..
G. t. Alternately, in accordance with
the request of their father, in whose
possession the cane had been for
forty years. The Doctor was on a
visit of only few days to his broth
err and returned to his home in Pu-
laski, leaving his two daughters at
McAllister's X Roads, where they
will remain for a couple of weeks,
and will probably pay our citya visit
on their way home.
Our correspondent informs us that
a larger acreage is being sown in
wheat this year in his neighborhoOd
than has been sOwn for many years,
and that very little tobacco will be
raised next year by the farmers OF
that section.
