is the right man for this most inn
portant office.
Mr.. johnson on taking the stand
complained that Yancy had stolen
his speech, so he had but little to
say. Mark you, some of the John
son men are loud in eulogies of
Yancy, declaring he will be the
Judge, etc. This, to US, looks as if
they are making a tool of johnson,
hoping to weaken Tyler by keeping
Johnson on the track, thus assuring
the election of Yancy. Pause, gen.
tlemen, and reflect before you con-
sumnate an act which may cause
your cheeks to burn for years to
come.
We are glad to know that the
SIG 90 transaction was genuine,
though we had been told differently
by one no way interested in any
warehouse. We have longregarded
N. Brown & Son the neatest hand
lers of tobacco in our market. We
rejoice in the increased prosperity
of GAINESVILLE as market for our
great staple, knowing it is justly
deserved. OBSERVER.

improvements ON Franklin Street.

improvements On Franklin Street.
The handsome block of buildings
put up by Messrs. Cook, Hendricks
and Ely is sufficiently near compile
ton to show the architectural de-
sign. 1t is the most imposing bust
ness building yet erected in Clarks-
vile, and the enterprise of these
gentlemen is the more commend
able inasmuch as from the disadvan-
tages of site in their rear their
expenses were enormous before
attaining the level of the street.
The design is that of a three-stOry
block of brick coated with galvan-
lied iron in imitation of cut stone
work, and contributes more than
anything else on Franklin street to
the city-like appearance of Clarks-
vile.
MeSsrs. KincannOn, Wood & Co.
have already moved into their large
new store and are doing business
there; and the brick work of the
two next stores owned by them is
now complete, as is that of Mr..
HOdgson, a three-story building, to
include Mrs. HodgsOn's millinery
establishment and residence.
Owen & Moore, McCormac and
others are rapidly pushing their
work, and in two months the whole
range to within two stores width of
Second street will be complete.
Talking of McCormac's building
reminds us that that gentleman has
presented the publishers of this
journal with a set of his beautiful
and accurate photographs Of the
burnt district. This series is histor-
zeal, and everyone who is interested
in GAINESVILLE ought to get a set.
Go to the tent and invest.

THE corporation have commenced
excavating a we'll in the alley be-
tween Mr.. McReynOld's property
and Mr.. Yates residence which
has now been carried to the depth
of twenty-One feet. It's anticipated
that fourteen feet more will be re-
quired. On Monday, by the time
when the digging had reached a
depth of about seventeen feet, a
little girl of Mr.. Mark Parlin's I'M
fortunately fell into the well. A
quantity of loose dirt had Fortunate
ly been left in the well, so that
the fall was broken; otherwise she
probably would have been killed /;
as it is, some internal injuries of
doubtful character have kept the
child in bed. 1t is hoped that re-
cOvery will ensue without perma-
nent injury.

this institution is producing per-
manent good effect in the city.

Letter from Dover.

EDITOR CHRONICLE: The wealth
has been as warm in this county as
anywhere else in the State, but
there have been no sunstrokes that
/ have heard of. Night before last
the atmosphere suddenly cooled off
and the great cold wave rolled over
us and all were cOmfOrted. But for
the fact that the excitement atten-
dant upon the pending canvass will
keep everything hot until the first
of August, we would be in a fair
way to pleasant days again.
The candidates are all busy urg-
ing their respective claims and we
have a lot of as clever men running
for Office as you ever saw. The old
reliable clerk of the County Court,
Ambrose B. Ross, Esq, is allowed
to run without opposition, which is
a compliment he deserves for he is
a faithful officer and most honor
able gentleman.
Judge Rice will carry this county
by large majority, and the people
of his old home are earnestly arOus-
ed and determined to elect him.
Ii is remarkable to see and know
the attachment the people have for
him. He is worthy of it and it
must be gratifying to him to know
the esteem in which he is held by
those among whom he has lived so
long.
Chancery Court met here on Mon
day morning, Chancellor B. J. Tar
yer presiding. Owing to the fact
that Col. n. Brandon was confined
to his bed by sickness, the court did
not hold but one day. Col. Bran
don has large practice and is en-
gagged in nearly every case, which
necessitated the continuance of
nearly the whole docket. Because
of this fact the Chancellor appoint
ed a special term for the second
Monday in October. Judge Tarver
will receive a large vote in this
county; in fact it is conceded that
he will carry the county by very
large majority, not less perhaps,
than six hundred. His career as a
Chancellor for the eight months he
has been on the bench, has given
universal satisfaction and the peO-
pie are for his election.
The crops are generally good and
if one or two more rains will come
in time, we will have corn enough
to last for the next three years.
Respectfully, E.
Dover, Tenn, July %, 1878.

lieving / can do more good in that
capacity than in any other. 1 be-
lieve I am known to take a special
interest in the subject of education
and to have had some experience
therein. If voters should be in
duced by these considerations, or
any other, to elect me will do my
best towards promoting the cause of
public education.

A Correction.

EDITORS CHRONICLE: In the
Nashville American of the 2lst inst,
/ find a notice of the death of o. P.
Baldwin, ST., one of the editors of
the Baltimore Sun. In the short
sketch of his life given it is said his
most popular work was, "The
Flush Times in Alabama" The
Hon. 10. g. Baldwin of Sumter
county, Ala, was the author of
"Flush Times" and also of "Party
Leaders, in which sketches of the
lives of Clay, Calhoun and Jackson
show the genius of the writer. J.
G. Baldwin's reputation as a lawyer
was greater than as a writer. He
emigrated to California in 1853, and
very soon became Judge of the
Court. He died in 1867,
having lived a life of usefulness,
nearly every acquaintance
his friend. K,

THE Methodist people are going
to give one of their first class enter
tainments on the 10Th of August at
Mr.. Macrae's residence on the Mad
isOn street. That date is selected
because of the moon, which is al
ways an important consideration.
Mrs. COuts superintends the various
amusements and we know what
Mrs. Couts can do, but the moon
can beat even Mrs. COuts, where
young people of both sexes are to
be accommodated. For an accom-
plished mistress of the revels give
us bright full August moon, with
Mrs. c. for vice regent, and soft
grass and abundant shade trees and
beautiful young ladies. There boys
don't be impatient-twO weeks will
soon be gone.

Tragical FracasinN nashville.

A difficulty fatal to two of the
parties to it occurred in Nashville
on Wednesday, the oath inst. 1t
originated in a scandalous charge
against Judge N. Baxter, now a
candidate for Circuit Court Judge
in that city. The author of the
charge was Samuel Hicks. The
statement of the Banner is that
Hicks brought this charge in writ
ing to the Banner office, and it was
declined, Upon this Hicks took
occasion from a meeting of the In
dependent party and made the same
charge orally before the meeting.
He there stated that he had made
the charge in private and proposed
to withhold it from publication if
Judge Baxter would retire from the
contest, that the Judge promised to
do so, but did not, and meantime
Hicks was denounced as a black
mailer. He now, he said, madeSthe
charge in public to vindicate him
self.
All this occurred on Tuesday
night. On Wednesday morning at
10, Ed. and Nat Baxter, two sons of
the Judge, met Hicks on Cherry
street near the corner of Union an
unknown person was with Hicks
and took part in the fracas which
ensued. 1t is not known who shot
first, but Hicks was shot in the
breast and shot at his assailant.
Two other BaXters, Jere and Jones,
now took part and firing became
general. Hicks took refuge in a
jewelry store, in which some firing
took place, injuring property there
and endangering the inmates.
Hicks left the store and ran down
Union to millinery store, receiv-
ing a shot from Jere Baxter on the
way. He soon expired there. Mean
time, Jones Baxter, who had not
so far taken any part in the fracas,
was shot through the heart by
Hicks unknown companion, and
fell on the spot. He was carried
into the jewelry store and died there
in less than half an hour.
These are the essential facts; more
details will be given when a judi
ciary investigation has taken place,
till which time we abstain from
further comment.
