Once in a while a gentleman
drops into our Office and tells us to
stop his paper, saying as an excuse,
81 have more reading matter than i
eau manage; take several city pa
pers, and besides, times are hard"
In our opinion tie gentleman who
utters this sentiment possesses
very little discretion, and could
hardly be recommended as a repre-
sentative citizen. Nothing seems
to US more plain than that the in
stitution that rebounds to the ben
eft of q community should be the
first to receive the patronage of the
resident of that community. We
approve of person subscribing for
a city paper when he is able to do
so, but first of ali support your To-
cal paper. 1t is the journal that
builds up your county and supports
your home institutions. The city
paper does not do this; it is foreign
to you as the city wherein it is
published. 1t may contain more
reading matter but your neighbor-
hood is not represented in its col
umns. But to all sensible men the
fact is patent and requires no argu-
ment that you should "help the
man that helps you."- Galatin

Brick Church.

The stranger passing through

Brick Church, and as he approaches

eager eye searches in vain for a
large and handsome house built of
brick, erected to the wol ship of

large white frame, in which Rev. j.

assisted by Rev. Fred Thompson of

The program for the Fair which
commences Tuesday, Oct. 9TH, has
just been issued from this Office. 1t
is a catalogue which challenges ad-
miration on account of its typo
graphical get up, and the magnifi-
cent list of premium offers will
strike the people. The Association
stands upon a firmer footing than
ever before in its history and offers
the longest and most valuable list
of premiums we have ever had. Su-
peradded to this extraordinary list
is splendid array Of special pre-
miums offered by private lndivid
uals. We hear of considerable
preparation, and we are convinced
that this Fair will be our best as
yet and the forerunner of better
ones.

Edward Estes, decd, was sold last
Friday, on twelve months's credit.
IT'S said that "distance lends en-

well. Indeed some of the live stock
brought such prices that we almost

Questions to Conscience.

We put these questions to every
fair minded man and we wish him
to answer them upon his conscience.
Do you think it fair for one to be
his own judge in a matter in which
he is interested pecuniarilyp Don't
the courts exclude a man from sit
ting on a jury in his own casef
Amt that right and good lawf
Would you like for a man with
whom you had law suit to sit on
your case2 Would you stand it If
a Judge insisted on trying case
In which he and you were parties
Would you have the face to want to
be a juryman in a case in which
you and a neighbor were litigants
Would you agree to let YOUR neigh-
Dor be q juryman2 If not, wbyi
The reason is, you know, that hu-
man nature is so weak or SO wicked
or so selfish that one is not regard
ed as safe to try his own case. He
will look at the matter right
through his own spectacles of self
interest and is not a fair honest
Judge. This is correct is IL notf
Well now for the application. The
late election left it TO the people to
determine how much they would
pay the creditors of the State
Was it righs? Is any one a fair
Judge in his own case2 Is any
man who has a debt owing him IN
the habit of going to his debtor and
leaying it to him what he thinks he
is able and willing to pay2 Does
the lawyer, the farmer, the black
smith, or the doctor do this way
with bills owing him? If it Is not
right in one case, 1t is not in the
other. It's a poor rule that won't
work both ways.-lGalatin tx

Capt. Jno. II. Woodbridge is lee.
turing now in East Tenn. He was
at Jonesboro week before last, and
lectured to twelve auditors. He
was persuaded to remain and lee
ture again Saturday night, but had
no audience. The Journal says tie
people didn't suppose there was any
fun in the lecture, but if he had
been ventriloquist or other trick
ster he would have had an audience.
The Journal pays Capt. Woodbridge
just compliment and seems to re-
greet the want of appreciation on
the part Of Jonesboro people. We
are glad to know, however, that
Capt. W. does not meet this kind
of reception everywhere. The
journal says that by the patronage
of other more appreciative towns
he is making for himself an indie
pendent livelihood. He deserves it,
certainly.

In company with several citizens
we visited yesterday the sugar fac
tory of Mr.. Ed. S. Jones, on East
Hill, where he proposes to manu-
facture sugar from sorghum molas
ses. He demonstrated to our en-
tire satisfaction that good article
of brown sugar can be made, but
whether in paying quantities or not
we are unable to say. Mr.. Jones
says the capacity of his machinery
in full blast IS 20 pounds of sugar
every ten minutes, using for that
purpose only p gallons of sor-
ghum. If so, there is no doubt oil
his success. He runs his machin-
cry with a neat little one horse
power engine, which will afford him
ample power. He will be ready
soon he says to purchase sorghum,
but in the mean time these who
wish to sell are requested to bring
samples for him TO test, as some
sorghum contains no sugar whatev.
ever, and he will not purchase that
kind. Mr.. Jones' chemical secret
of course we did not learn, as no
admittance was permitted to his
labratory, but he says it is simple
and harmless. We trust he may
succeed beyond his own sanguine
expectations.
