FROM ORGANS x-ROADs.

EDITORS CHRONICLE Think
ing that you perhaps would give
space in your columns to few news
items from the 18th District, have
ventured to take the risk of the
waste-basket, and will proceed to
enumerate some of the most impOr-
tant items.
On last Friday morning our usu-
ally quiet neighborhood was thrown
into a little excitement in conse-
ouence of sharp command TO halt,
followed by three pistol-shots in
quick succession, with the eXclama-
ton, "Shoot him shoot him :"
Several of us ran out, expecting to
see an escaped prisoner or murderer
come dashing by. But we soon as
certained from the dust and noise
that the pursuers and pursued had
left the main road and were then
making railroad time through a
field OF about 400 yards length. we
put off at break-neck. speed, hoping
to immortalize ourselves by the cap
ture of some desperate provided
he was unarmed). After running
about 800 yards, we met Esq. Black
ford and family. We both halted
to make enquiry of each other, and
learned from the Esq. that three
men had just passed little to his
left, all afoot, and the leader SEEM

A Word to DOubters.

There is a good old English max
i'm which teaches us to "belieVe ev-
cry man honest until we know him
to be villain" American custom
seems to have reversed this law and
appears to make every man a vii
lain until he has proved himself an
honest man. As with people, so
with things. Every article placed
upon our markets can lay claim to
popular favor upon intrinsic merit
and value alone. Continued pOpu-
larity, therefore is proof positive of
intrinsic excellence. DIR. Pierce's
Family Remedies are far more pop
ular to-day than ever before. The
people have tested them and know
them to be genuine remedies for the
diseases they are recommended to
cure. The Golden Medical DiscOv-
cry and Purgative Pellets are the
best Alternative, tonic and catharic
remedies that can be used in chrOn-
ic diseases of the stomach and liver.
The worldwide popularity of the
Favorite Prescription, as a never
falling remedy for Female Diseases,
would have alone secured to its dis
cOverer the fame he has so richly
won. DIR. Sage's CatarTh Remedy,
of which DIR. Pierce is also proprie-
tor, is recommended by those who
have tested its virtues as a safe and
reliable remedy for catarrh in its
worst forms.

Young Biikins went to serenade
his girl ON Van Ness avenue. The
amateur orchestra, of which he is a
member, had hardly squelched out
the first two bars of "Come Where
My Love Lies Dreaming" when
the second-story window went up
and old Boggs, Amelia's father,
stuck his head out and remarked
rs there no way of compromis-
ing this thing ?''
"What-w-what ?'' gasped Bill

"Why-this-this is a serenade, -
exclaimed Bilkins.
Exactly /; so / see. Now, sup
pose L were to stand the beer and
car fare all round, wouldn't YOU 90

"Come down here and say that

who was full of Budweiser and
fury. {. You baldheaded old pelican,

"I-I-think we had better-bet-
ter go, as it were, boys" murmured
the mortified Bilkins, and the dis
gusted band walked sadly of, scorn-
fully ignoring Boggs' parting in
functions to reform and lead better
lives, after the thing blew over.

Your Local Pnner.

You might nearly as well forget
your churches, your academies and
school-hOuses, as to forget your To-
cal paper. Tt speaks to ten times
the audience that your local minis
ter does. 1t is read eagerly each
day and week from beginning to
end. 1t reaches you all, and, as it
has a lower spirit and less wisdom
than a sermon, it has a thousand
times better chance at you. Lying,
as it does, on every table in almost
every hOuse,yOu owe TO yourselves
to literally add to your support, and
exact from it as heightened a char
acter as you do from an educator in
your midst. 1t is in no sense be-
meath notice and care-unless you
yourself are beneath notice and care
for it is your representative. In
deed, in its character, it is the sub
limation of the importance, inter
est and welfare of all. 1t is the ag-
gregate of your own consequence,
and you cannot ignore it without
miserably depreciating yourself

ing to be pursued by the other two
men. The Squire assured me that
he could and would have caught
the fugitive but for his wife. All of
which / of course believed, until I
examined the tracks of that fugi-
tive; then I was convinced from
the length of the strides that the
'Squire's better judgment persuaded.
him that owing to his corpuIency
and June weather he would not be
known in the race. After this de-
tention with the Squire I soon
abandoned the race and returned to
the store. There found Mr.. Lat.
PARROT, a very efficient constable
from Dickson county, also Mr.. Mar
tin, special deputy, with their
prisoner and his wife. The priso-
ner was one of the late jail-breakers
of Charlotte, by the name of Cooley.
He was charged with burglary and
theft. Since his escape from Jail he
came back to LeatherwOod creek,
in Dickson county, and as a conse-
quence of his visit several other
houses were broken into, all of
which he is accused of. Owing to
his familiarity with the country he
had managed to dodge the officers
of the law until Parrott struck Ills
trail on last Thursday evening
about dark. Friday morning at
daylight PARROT was in the saddle.
After riding Is miles he overlook
Cooley within 300 yards of this place
about z o'clock. As it happened to
be in lane, Cooley jumped over
the fence. PARROT tried to bring
him in by shooting all around him,
but after emptying his pistol Par
rott's only hope was to catch him,
which he did after running him 500
yards on foot. Several negro men
who were working in the field
through which they passed have de-
cided to surrender if PARROT ever
gets after them. AS / am not a cit
izen of Dickson county, and will
not be wanted on the jury, / can
form or express an opinion. AL
though know nothing of Cooley's
guilt or innocence, ] think he is a
bold, bad young man, as there was
no evidence of shame when accused,
but he seemed to like to boast of
his escape from Jail, race, etc. But
for the present we will let him rest
in the cell from which he escaped,
as Parrot doubtless delivered him
to the jailer on Friday evening.
The wheat has nearly all been
harvested ; the crop is unusually
light, quality, extra. Oats are SPLEEN
did, but rather low on thin land /;
acreage considerably over average.
Corn is looking well, has been gen
orally well cultivated. With good
seasons throughout the summer the
crop will be good. TObacco-There
has been two-thirds of a crop set,
but owing to the light seasons and
grass-hOppers the stand is bad. With
a good rain this week there may be
an average prospect.
| Mr.. VIM. Durham killed a large
rattlesnake with 10 rattles, while
harvesting. 1t is the only one that
has been killed in this district fol-
several years. The health of Oul
district is generally good.

A Colorado inventor is walking
across the river at Leavenworth, on
patent water shoes. On June 6, he
started from the upper side Of the
Missouri river bridge, and although
the current was running the rate Of
fourteen miles an hour, the river
was crossed in nine and a half min
utes. After resting a few moments,
he showed the audience how to
manange the shoes, and how they
could be steered in any direction one
wished to go. The shoes were then
attached together making a perfect
buoy or life-preserver, upon which
the occupant could sit or lie with
ease and safety.

visit TO oorbandaIe.

Editors Chronicle thinking a
few items from this side of the
river would not be Objectionable, l
take the opportunity of writing a
few lines. On Monday evening in
company with a bachelor friend,
we started to Corbandale. Having
a long ridge to travel between this
and Vernon Furnace there was not
much to attract our attention. My
horse having lost shoe determin-
ed to have it replaced at the furnace
that Doctor will please excuse me
for asking him if he was black
smith, as everyf one was strangers
to me. No disgrace Doctor, for
blacksmiths sometimes wear white
shirts as well as doctors. Not find
ing a smith we proceeded to Pal
myra. The crops along the road
seem to be in a prosperous eondi-
ton. Just before arriving at Pal
myra my friend said ne had some
business at the saw mill which he
would attend to while l had my
horse shod. After my work was
concluded l began to look around
for my componiOn, when all at once
1 saw him come to the door of one
of Palmyra's best citizens, with hat
in had, a graceful bow and out he
came. Knowing his love for the
society of nice ladies l forgave him
for delaying us. We reached Cor
bandale just in time to partake of
Mr.. Burrel Corban's Inequalities.
After staying with these clever
people a short time we visited Mr..
Joe Corban, where we remained
during the night. Mr.. Corban is
doing a very good business in dry
goods and groceries. He is live
business man and generally makes
everything pay that he undertakes.
Tuesday morning we visited Mr..
Alex Outlaw. Some four weeks
since Mrs. Outlaw was thrown from
a horse since which she has not
been able to be up. This excellent
lady has many friends who are very
anxious for her speedy recovery.
We next visited the family of
Mr.. p. II. Dillon where we spent
the night. Here we met the Rev.
E. S. Jones, pastor of the Palmyra
circuit. He is a young man of
promise, and bids fair some day to
be shining light in the Tennessee
Conference. The next morning in
company with Mr.. Dillon we went
to the axe handle factory. This fac
tory makes AK, pick and Ratchet
handles, it turns out from 200 to
500 per day.
Having business with S. A. Will
son, Esq, we determined to go to
his house. Between Palmyra and
Esq. Wilson's we heard noise to
our right on a hillside stopping to
ascertain what 1t was, we saw,an old
colOred woman a way off from any
one, not knowing that there was a
human being in half mile of her,
there shouting and praising the
Lord for his goodness. We hitched
our horses and went to her and
asked her if she was happy. She
said yes, she was happy every day
of her life. We told her that we
thought perhaps when we first
heard her that she was crazy. Her
answer was. " No, mister, I've got
more sense when l am this way
than at any other time" On inves-
tigation we found that she was a
cook of the old DIR. Marable. We
left this old woman feeling that we
had been none the worse for seeing
her. We reached Esq. Wilson's
inst in time for dinner, after spend
inc an hour or two with the Squire
we started for home, arriving in
due time. OBSERVER.
