Petty ThIeyiUg.

The officers of our city must know
that there are a proving, thieving
set of boys or Young men lettering
around the streets at night time, who
make a habit of stealing whips and
cushions from buggies and wagons.
On Thursday night last, one of u
citizens from the west end attended
the theatre and while his team stood
hitched on the streets, all the white
harness rings and leather straps
holding the same were stolen. This
state of affairs is a burning shame
and disgrace TO U town, and citi-
zens, aud officers should unite to
bring the young scoundrels to
Justice.

If the state debt is compromised
and the property taxed to pay the in-
terest who will it fall upon-the own
ers of taxable property. We have
seen and conversed with quite num-
ber of this class of men-for instance,

worth in the aggregate about 5000, 900
and owning about 10000 acres of
land. These men are all warm sup
porters of the compromise measure,
and if such men, who pay largely of
the taxes, are willing to vote this tax
upon themselves, ought not the poor
man who will not pay one dollar Of the
taxes (for the poll tax goes to the
school fund.- vote for the compromise?
Can you find ten men in the county

named who will vote against the COM
promise? We think not.-Dresden

Figures That DON'T Lie.

Lebanon Herald: The secretary of
Rathbone Section, No. sc, Endow-
ment Rank of the knights of Pythias
of this city, has recently issued cir
cular from which we obtain the fol-
lowing information
During the six months ending June
30th, assessments have been made as
follows:
In the first class, four, amounting
to $40.
In the second class, seven, amount
ing to $40.
Total for both classes, S12.10.
Thus it will be seen that members
Of the Endowment Rank have carried
an insurance of 81, 900 for s4.00; of
50, 900 for $40; and of 5000 for
s12.10 for a period of six months.
Doubling these figures to obtain the
yearly rates, and comparing them
with the premiums charged by first
class life insurance company, the Won
derful .cheapness of our plan is seen
at glance. The annual rates of the
Etna Life Insurance Company, as
taken from its published tables, for
the ages of twenty-one and ffty-the
minimum and maximum ages for ad-
mission into the Endowment Rank
are as follows:
Age twenty-one-on 81 900, $500
per annum; on $1,000, S36. 40; on
SO, 900. s54.60.
Age 6fty-on 81 900, S44.70 per
annum on $4,000, $500; $1,000,
s134.1O.
Now compare the above figures
with the amounts actually paid by the
members of the Endowment Rank,
from twenty-one to fifty years of age:
On 81. 200, $3.50; 1000, s15. 40;
1000, s24. 20.
Thus it is evident that, for person
twenty-one years of age, the Endow,
rent Rank of the Knights of Pythias
is more than t,cice as cheap as ordinary
life insurance; whileifor person fifty
years of age, it is nearly sir times as
cheap! In addition, the members of
the Endowment Rank pay their as
sessments by small installments Isl. .10)
at time, which is done without incon-
venience.
The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1879-07-17

Last Friday the news reached this
place that Taylor Christenberry, for
mer resident of this county, had been
killed in Lake county. From what
we could learn of the affair, it seems
that Christenberry and noted des-
perado had quarreled, and the latter
HID behind door, and as the former
entered commenced shooting at him.
Christenberry returned the fire as he
was falling, and shot his assaaant thro'
the head, killing him instantly.
Christenberry's remains we're brought
to McLemoresville and Inferred

THURSDAY EVENING.

DIR. Leroy Broun, of the Wander
bilt University, read an erudite paper
entitled "The Renovated Curriculum" !"
He took the position the Sciences
should largely compose the course of
study, and that utility must be the
standard of selection. Scientific edu-
cation is necessity and not luxury.
A knowledge of facts and not mere
verbosity is education; facts are as es~
sential to true mental culture as bricks
are In the construction of a house; the
scientific mind learns to regard a fact
as link in a chain; relation of facts
and to link them by inductive reason
ing is of great value in giving muscle
to the mind; freedom of thought in
scientific investigation has achieved
grand results and gives a new impetus
to the life of nations; science and free
dom go hand in hand, and vigorous
and successful application to these
branches contributes to the wealth of
the state; whatever contributes to the
advancement of science adds to the
prosperity and happiness of the people;
would not abolish study Of the Ian
guages altogether, but let them be
second in importance to science; in The
public schools those books which are
vital necessities and not luxuries for
the people should find place in the
Renovated Curriculum" In conclu-
sion, the student of science is impressed
with his own insigniicance and the
wisdom and power of God.

to our people by Supt Irousdale.
West Tennessee Division Insti-
tute.
The institute met at 8 a. m, Presi-
dent w. F. Shropshire in the chair.
The proceedings were opened with
prayer by Rev. DIR. Burrow.
After music by the band, the Pres
ident announced that, owing to the
exciting rumors of fever, he would not
deliver his annual address. He then
said that the election of officers was
in order. Sup't Meriwether, of Mad
ison. was unanimously elected. Sup't
w. B. Vancleave, of Henry, and
Sup't. J. NJ. Coulter, of Gibson were
unanimously elected Vice Presidents.
Prof. Floyd Collins, of Madison, was
elected Secretary.
Prof. S. Y. Caldwell, Sup,t of the
Nashville City Schools, then read
paper on "Favoritism in electing
teachers" He was scathing in his de-
nunciation of nepotism and tavoritism
generally in the selections of teachers
for public schools, and gave number
of instances of shameful appointments
by local boards. he said the school
directors and people were to blame for
poor teachers and poor schools. If
they would abandon the system Of
giving the schools to the lowest bid
ders they would have better schools.
Poor schools were an evidence of a
poor or illiterate community. The
school represents the people.
Music by the choir. Sup't Meri-
wether, Prof. McGhee, Sup Coulter
and Pres't Shropshire discussed the
subject, the latter taking the ground
that the county superintendent should
appoint the school directors, one from
each civil district. He said that the
people of his county declined to elect
directors, but allowed him to appoint
them.
The next paper read was by Prof.
James Dinwiddie, of the SOuthwes-
tern Presbyterian University, Clarks-
vile. Tenn. His subject was "Men-
tai Arithmetic" He handled it with
great ability, much to tie satisfaction
of the audience. We cannot dc the
gentleman justice in synoFtical re-
port, but will say that it was a very
able paper. Sup't Caldwell thought
the name of the essay should be
changed to True Arithmetic" Prot.
Taylor endoored the essay in a few
earnest remarks. Prof. McGee ac-
knowledged that he had learned some
thing new from the lecture. Sup't
Coulter also made few ri marks COM
plimentary.
The following executive committee
was appointed:
Prof. j. r. McGee, of Trenton,
Jno. l.. Brown and J. g. Cisco, of
jackson, G. W. Layne, of Obion, and
A. j. Hall, of Dyer.
Judge q. p. Foute,- ex-Superinten>
dent of the Shelby county Public
schools, read paper on "ochool Re-
form," which was listened to with the
attention it deserved. 1t was finish
ed and elegant paper.
President Shropshire announced
that, owing to the exciting fe7er re-
ports and quarantine having been es-
tablished by some of the neighboring
towns, he thought it prudent that the
Institute adjourn to some day in the
fall, when the body wol again meet
here to finish its business.
Prof. Meriwether moved to adjourn
TO meet in Milan at the call of the
President. Carried unanimously.
The District Institute adopted the
resolution of thanks adopted by the
Congressional Institute.
