BEFORE we go to press again an
election will be held for municipal
of officers to conduct the affairs of the
city. While this election is happily
free from the animosities of party
strife, voters will nevertheless give
suffrages under a weighty sense of
responsibility. Much of the well
being of our city depends upon
having men in Office who will
execute the laws thoroughly, and
especially those which are associated
with the good order and morals of
the community. Some of the most
salutary of these have been for
some time dormant and have been
habitually and openly violated; it
would do no harm to put candidates
to their catechism on this subject,
and require straightforward answers
to plain questions before giving
their votes. Let us have have an
election Conducted as matter of
business in an orderly and deIiber-
ate manner, and as one step in this
direction we would suggest that the
Mayor call upon the drinking
saloons to close during the hours of
voting.

like through your columns to notify

February school month, (Jan. 28th)
we will be ready to receive a class
of primary children-thOse who
have never been to school-at Miss
LovelI's in the 9Th Ward school
house. Parents having such chill
dren whom they wish 20 enter our
schools, must send them at that
time, else they cannot enter till the
beginning of the fall session. In
this connection | wish again to urge
our people to visit the City Schools,
for by that means alone can they
tell what we are doing. Further
more, would like to ask that par
ents do not keep their children at
home for every little bad spell of
weather. Send them along, we will
take good care of them at school.

4 Veterans Last salute.

1t is with mingled respect and
sorrow that we read the valedictory
address of Mr.. w. w. Gates on re-
firing from the editorial chair of
the West Tennessee Wing. Mr..
Gates was the oldest Editor in Ten
nessee and perhaps the ablest, and
in this address he recounts some of
his battles in the old Wing lines
with the spirit of an aged war-hOrse
who again hears the trumpet-blast.
Is it a sign of advancing age on
our own part, or is it the recognition
of a fact, that we look back on the
editorial ranks of former days with
the feeling that we are now writing
in degenerate times? In the old
days of Wing and Democratic con-
trOversy we were on the opposite
side to Col. Gates, but feel now
that we have more sympathy with
our former antagonist than with
any of our present allies. In the
peaceful retirement which he has
chosen we trust that our brother
editor will enjoy an unclOuded hap
piness cheered with the affection of
friends and relatives and honOred
with the respect of his brothers of
the press, whether they were allies
or opponents in the old time. The
editorial management of his paper,
the West Tennessee Wing, passes
into the hands of his son Mr.. John
w. Gates, who is welcomed with
cordial good wishes TO his place
among the cOrps-editorial.

AMONG the various articles in the
Express Office a few evenings ago
was dog, confined in box. The
dog seems to have borne his confine-
ment remarkably well for time,
but finally became tired, and thrust
ing his nasal promontory through
one of the apertures of his prison,
made known his wish for ''sweet
liberty" by giving vent to "sighs
long drawn out" and the most ago
nizingly interesting bowls; but his
music not having the desired effect,
he got on his muscle and broke out /;
the next moment he had passed
through the glass door of the Office,
and the last seen of him he was
humping himself up Franklin street.
While Mr.. Millett, the express agent,
was surveying the broken glass, an
acquaintance stepped in, noticed the
condition of the box, and inquired
where the dog was. "Dog-gone it,"
was Millett's reply, and the dog had
"gone it," too.

Smith * Lurton, Attorneys at Law

Smith IL LurtOn, Attorneys at Law.
1t is with much pleasure that we
call attention to the card of these
gentlemen which appeared in our
paper of last week. The partners
being now both released from their
arduous public duties, one as Repre-
sentative of the county in the State
Legislature, the other as Chancellor
of the District, will now give their
undivided attention to their private
practice. Their retirement from the
services they have rendered the
State in public office, in which they
have earned the universal approba-
tion of the people, will be a public
loss; we trust and believe it will be
to them the source of private emol-
ument.
