Our Decherd letter was handed to
Us II little late this week, and we are
sorry that we cannot prin | all. We
extract from it as follows.
despite the warm weather, the
Good Templals continue to hold their
regular NEE tings, and are generally
well attended. Several young ladies
and gentlemen, members of the Order
at Winchester, paid our lodge a visit
at the last Irregular meeting, amongst
whom were Misses Mollie Mnrrell.
Jennie Plumlee, Lula Boucher, Mamie
Newman, and Messrs VIM. Murrell,
Henry Estill and S. o. Carter, the latter
formerly of this place. MIR. S. o Car.
ter acted as Worthy Chief Iemplar
pro tem., and u couple Of those beauti.
full young ladies acted as right and left
hand supporters, and we doubt not
but 'S.ephen's' heart went spit y pat
as he thought how delightful it would
be to have one of those beautiful
young ladies to support him-we mean
to lean on him for support through
lies uneven journey. Now, we do
not know whether they were here real.
" in the interests Of the Order, or
whether it was Il "rusc," to nave the
pleasure of talking oven some little
love affairs. We just have our own
opinion. We will be very much pleas
ed to have them visit us at any time.
mr.. James Bass had the misfortune
to get his dwelling burned down last
Saturday night. He was awakened BY
the roaring Of the flames about eleven
o'clock, the loot being on fire, Two
of his children were sleeping up stairs,
and Mr.. Bass rushed up to save them
We lean that he hurriedly got the
children down stairs. and on going
back to save some of his goods was
Gu. off from the stairway by the
flames and smoke, and had to save
himself by jumping out at one of the
windows, in which he was severely
hurt. One Of the children WAS consid-
erably hurt. He lost all Of his furni-
ture and clothing above, but saved
nearly all below. 1t is supposed the
fire originated from the c~ook.room,
which was adjoining the building. MIR.

We have heretofore announced that
on the 1st Monday in next month there
will be a meeting in Winchester for
the purpose of appointing delegates
to the State Convention which will
meet in Nashville the 10th for the pur,
pose of nominating a Democratic can-
didate tor Governor. We again ask
that there may be a large attendance at
our County Convention the LIST Monday
in August. Besides the appointment
of delegates there is other work to be
done. We should have u Democratic
Executive Committee, as all other
counties have. The fact is, the party.
as u party, is painfully negligent in
Franklin county. We seem to have
lost all concern in having an organiza-
ton, simply because our party is so
largely in the ma ,rity in our county.
But did you know that the ablcst Re.
publican journal of the East, and many
other journals of great influence in the
Republican party, have said that Ten
nessee bids fairer to be turned over
again to Republican rule than any
State in the South They actually
say so, and when we reflect upon the
divisions and side questions in our
State, aud the lethargy of the Demo
cratic party, the assertions OF these
Republican papers do no: surprise us.
We hope that every Democ:at who can
possibly 60 SO will come the LIST Mon
day in August and take part in the
meeting, so that the Convention may
reflect the will of the people, and not
of a few individuals. The action OF
this Convention is in the hands OF the
people, and We hope that they will do
their duty.
