HOW 1T HAPPENED.

Old MdR.-Wife, what on earth did
you mean by spending so much money
in town to-day?
Wfe.-I didn't spend much money,
but saved money. You see / went to
Wilmeth's and bought my sugar and
coffee, then l went down to McNutt's
and got some spice, salt, pepper and
soap of him. In passing Che hardware
house of Harris g. Whiteside, l thought
of your old WORKOUT axe, and stepped in
and bought you that splendid axe lying
out there in the wagon. 1t is a new
brand and the cheapest in town. Look
at this charming coffee mill and coffee
pot that l purchased of .. P. Rowe.
They will make coffee fit to set before a
king. And, old man, just as soon as we
can scrape up enough money, l mean to
buy one of Rowe's beautiful Farmer"
Cook Stoves. like them better than
any l eyer saw. Mr.. John Mathes, the
chicken man." informed me that he
would buy all our surplus chickens at
the highest market price. And we
must take them to him for he is a clever
man. Then went over to Will Parker's,
in the 'Y," you know, and bought
Bobbie pair of boots, and Johnnie
hat. Wont it please the dear little fell
lows, though
Old Nan. But what made you scatter
your trading so?
Wge Well, simply for this reason.
see they all advertise in the NORRIS
TOWN GAZETTE, and | am bound to pat
ronize those who advertise their bust
ness in our county paper. Besides, they
are honest gentlemen, give good bar
gains and sell articles in their lines
cheaper than any other houses in the.
town.
Old Man.-You don't tell me SO
WJs.-Yes, sir, you can get more
goods and better goods from these houses
than any others in Morristown, and Pm
going to tell all my neighbors to 90 to
them if they want good bargains. 1t is
how cheap they sell their
goods. Mighty cheap, mighty cheap,
old man.
Old MAXWELL, we'll, old lady, You
are right; all can afford to buy goods at |
their figures, aud it is right that we
patronize the merchants who advertise |
their business in our county paper. L |
wish, though, you had stepped into the |
furniture store of Noe s. Miller and /
priced one of their elegant bedsteads.
We need a new one badly, and must
lave it before long. Also you ought to
ave stopped at j. s. Miller's tailor shop.
md ascertained the price for making
uits for children. There is nearly a
,olt of jeans in the chest up stairs that
hould be made up right away for the
hildrens' winter clothing.

Chattanooga Times: The Balti.
more Anaerican-after a talk with
the Postmaster General-remarks /:
Postmaster general Key was in Rich
mond when the news from Ohio indica-
ting a sweeping victory for the Republi-
cans was received. He says he was sur
prised to notice the apathy with which
it was received by all classes with whom
he came in contact. Whenever opinions
were expressed in his hearing they gen
orally indicated the satisfaction of the
speaker at the result. Democrats of that
section were not favorable to the Ewing
financial theories, and were glad to see
them exploded. As a general thing, the
people Of Richmond have become weari-
ed of the eternal wrangle over political
matters, and especially tired Of always
being found on the losing side. They
seem now to be devotiug themselves to
their own business with remarkable en-
ergy, and to local issues which have a
direct bearing upon the commercial in
terests of this section"
Virginia is doing, through her
patriotic citizens, what Tennessee
must sooner or later attend to-tsk-
ing control away from the demagog-
ues and rogues and settling her
commercial honor on a lasting foun,
dation. She is emphatically mind.

Of self-eontrol and thorough honesty

State is setting an example her wes-
tern children and successors ought
to study and initiate.

Il SAVAGE ATTACK

TENNESSEE.

ON THE DEMOCRA TIC PARTY OF
TENNESSEE.
From the Nashville american We
learn that following up some precon.
certed signal or appointment, per.
haps secretly circulated, about 40 or
so persons assembled at Nashville,
the other day, for the purpose of de-
stroying the Democracy of Tennes-
sec. and of raising up in its stead a
great "Don't-Owe-a-Cent' party,
which is to gobble the State govern
ment by a forty thousand majority,
The meeting OF these conspirators
was first held at the Maxwell House.
1t adjourned thence to the CONNER
cial Hotel. Then to the Senate
chamber and finally closed its grave
deliberations in the hall of the House
of Representatives.
We understand this to have been
a State Convention and truly it was
Representative meeting, there hav-
ing been persons present and parti-
cipating from no less than Is out of
the "a counties of the State One
of the gentlemen present went all
the way from East Tennessee.
Among the resolutions adopted
were in substance the following:
Favoring the payment of every
dollar of the State debt proper;
Nominating a low-tax candidate
upon a low-tax platform by the next
Democratic State Convention;
Opposing repndiation-making no
provision for settling the'debt, which
shall be binding until ratified by the
people. There we're many other re-
solutions adopted which space for

ever. to the same general tenor and |
effect. Among the prominent per-
soRages present we notice the names
of John H. Savage. Dorsey B. Tho.

that we cannot give full list of the
persons present. We cannot, how.

1t will be remembered that after the
conviction of Buford for shooting Judge
Elliott, at Frankfort, KY, the prisoner
made an appeal to the highest court in
the State, and the Court OF Appeals de-
clined to hear the case on the ground
that the judges were interested parties.
For the purpose of rehearing a special
court was ordered, and Governor Black
burn appointed the Hon. John Feland,
Of Christian county; the Hon. L. E.
Husbands, of McCracken county, and
Henry A. Tyler as judges to sit in the
case.

From every quarter. in all lines of

workingmen of various grades have
naturally thought they should share in

Professor Grimmer asserts that from
1880 to 1887 will be one universal carni-
val of death. Asia will be depopulated,
Europe nearly so, and America will lose

are to have storms aud tidal waves; ;
mountains are to toss their heads abont
through the choicest valleys; navigators
will be lost by the thousands, owing to
the 'capricious defexures of the needle
and islands will appear and disappear in
mid ocean. All the beasts, birds and
fishes will be diseased Famine and
human strife will destroy most of the
few human beings left alive by the pla-
que, and finally two years of fre-from
