Mr.. Gladstone, in paper contributed
20 the last number of the North AmerG-
can Recieso, thus speaks of the United
States "Sbe will probably become
what we are now, tue head servant in
the great household of the world, the
employer of all the employed, because
her service will be the most and ablest.
The England and the America of the
present are probably the two strongest
nations of the world. But there can
hardly be doubt, as between the Eng
land and America of the future, that
the daughter, at no very distant day,
will, whether fairer or less fair, be I'M
questionably yet stronger than the
mother"

A REFVT4 TTON

From the Jonesboro Times, Republican.
MR.. EDITOR FL understand that the
Greeneville Neao Era denies that Major
Pettibone was in the Whiskey saloons
here on the 18th day of August, 1878, as
charged by you in recent issue of the
Jonesboro' Times. Now, while I have
no desire whatever to put my word up
against such high authority as the NeW
Era, nevertheless truth compells me to
say that | saw Major Pettibone in Cribs
Grocery on that day-and if am not
very much mistaken, I saw him in Var
ber's Saloon also. If this statement is
not satisfactory enough to the Major
and his friends, can s,oear to few of
the particulars in the case.

James Sewer, Esq. of Kingston,
Roaue county, was nominated by the
Democratic Congressional Conven-
ton of the Second District, held last
Saturday at Knoxville, as its candi-
date foS Congress. The Tribune says
Mr.. Sewer is 9" a conservative man,
thoughtful and cautious. and never
Yields his convictions of right TO the
demands of party" 1.-The is all this,
he will hardly make the sacrifice his
indiscreet friends demand in this in
stance. Per contra. our Knoxville
correspondent, himself Democrat
after the strictest sect. says Mr..
SeVier has been Republican all his
life. However this may be, it is
no time now to change horses. Mr..
Watkins is good enough Democrat
to suit the masses. He made faith
misrepresentation years ago, and bis
experience then will be valuable TO
him and his constituents in the next
Congress. We believe that he can
accomplish more for his district and
his State than any man on the track,
and the people of the second district
are impressed with the same conYic-
ton. HURRAH FOR WATKINS !

In confirmation of the theory that
the Minneapolis (Minn.) flour mills
were destroyed by an explosion of flour
dust is the experience of John B. Kehl,
a Chippewa Falls (Wis) miller. While
examining a clogged spout on the grind
ing flour with a lantern, the flour sifted
down, igniting and exploding with a
force that threw Mr.. Kehl back and
burned his hair and whiskers, also burn
ing an assistant. Fortunately, there
was no opening to conduct the blaze to
the upper stories, or Mr.. Kehl believes
that he would have lost his mill.

The undomesticated editor of the New
port Local thus relates his matrimonial e1-
pcrience: "A woman is mighty handy
thing to have about the house. She doesn't
cost any more to keep than you'll give her,
aud she'll lake a great interest in you. If
you go out at night, she'll be awake when
you get home, and then she'll tell you all
about yourself, and more too. OF course
she will know where you've been and what
kept you out so late, and will tell you; yet,
right after she gets through telling you that,
she will ask you where you have been and
what kept you out so late. And after you
tell her, and she won't believe YOU, you
mustn't mind that; and if after goingto bed,
she hasn't closed her eyes the whole night,
and keeps up the matinee two hours longer
and won't go to sleep when she has chance,
You mustn't Eind that either; it's her ma
ture."

Credit.

This is the great curse of our country.
If there was no credit system the farmers
and mechanics would be in 4 better condi-
ton. If the working people received cash
for their labor they would not need credit
1t " would be best for all men in business,
have had no credit it would not to-day be
groaning under debt it is not able to paw
The best law the next Legislature could
enact would be to abolish all laws for the
collection of ordinary every day transac-
tious. PAY as YOU go" is the true motto
for all. And why the press of the State has
not urged the abolition of the credit system
we are at loss to understand for there is
no class of working people who has felt and
Suffered from It's evil effects more dee ply
than the toiling publisher of newspaper.
His subscriptions, job work and advertising
are scattered all over the country, and a
great deal of it done on promises to pay,
and much OF it is paid in promises.
There is no man who labors, and is will
ing to work, who, if paid for his labor
would need the oft demanded credit under
our present system OF credit, and if it war
abolished there is no class of people who
would reap greater benefits from ii than the
members OF the press, and we would like FOL
each and all of them to speak out on thi,
subject, and urge upon the members of th'
next Legislature to pass law to make i
unlawful to collect a debt-.ShelbyrUc Ga
