FORSAKEN Nj
The Glory Ofthe City boo med
to Depart.

Washington Post: DR.. Mitchell, Of
the National Boarh of Health, was in
Washington Sunday and yesterday,
leaving for New York last evening.
His views, in a discussion of the sit
uation In Memphis, with DR.. Turney,
were not of a cheering character for
tho doomed city. 1t has received a shock
from which it is not likely to recover
for many years, yer If Its sanitary and
hygienic conditions were known 10 be
established on a sound and proper basis.
Many o ftho most prominent merchants
in the city have taken measures to To-
cate permanently in Nashville and
elsewhere, forsaking Memphis for good
and the bulk of Weather and leading
citizens will return from thier fight
this summer, simply to wind thier af-
fairs and dispose of what they have to
che best advantage possible under the
gloomy circumstances now prevailing.
There will always be a city where
Memphis stands, q second edition of
Natchez, or, perhaps, rs reduced rs
Napoleon, on the Arkansas side; but
the prosperous and lourishirg com-
mrnity, whose growth at M time
threatened to rival st, Louis and New
Orleans is thing Of the past.

The Knoxville Dispatch, speaking o.
Savage says: "1'hink of such a man
in the place of Senator Bailey Should
such an event happen our faith in hr-
man nature would collapse"
Well then think Of it. Think Of il
long and often, because it may como to
pass. Then why would he be any more
ola disgrace to Tennessee than old
Bailey. Who and what is this man
Balleyf 1t strikes us very forcibly
that he is the same blockhead that told
the people In. franklin that If they re-
fused to accept the 5O-4 proposition the
government would send troops here.
Who could disgrace the place Of such
men anywhere.

We were asked a few days ago by one
of our merchants why we advertised So
heavily for Chattanooga merchants, and
worked after Chattanooga custom.
There are several reasons why.
/. The Chattanooga merchants pay
us for all we do for them.
3. When we ask them to advertise they
don't bring up ''hard times" as an
excuse, but they let the world know
they have something to sell and this
makes times easier.
g.. They pay literally for thier advcr-
Using because it pays them to do so.
The firm of J B. Pyron and Love
man u Bro. sell nearly AS many goods
to the Cleveland people as do our mer-
chants here, There is scarcely r day
but some one from this place make;
purchases at their stores. They ask for
the custom and they receive il and our
home merchants would do the same
thing If they were only so disposed.

Conkling,a

We notice in the Knoxville Tribune
of Sunday morning all editorial or
."Conkllng's downfall" That's news
to us. If Conkling ever fell down he
Is tall enough to rise again. The re-
cent ISLANDERS on him will only make
him more popular with his people and
restore him to their confidence. Men
with brains like Conkling's are not to
be held down-even were he to fall.
We kinder think Il Democratic
brethren would like it if Conklins
were to meet up with Il "downfall."

There is no nobler office in the

amused is to take the bitter drop OF
gall out of the things of life.
Amusement takes away the sting
of care and furnishes medicine
for the heart. 1t cures the miasma
of the mind, and the art of anus
ing men, women and children in

Letter from Downey.

EDITOR HERALD: Farmers here
will commence husking corn in
about two weeks. Owing to the
ravages of small insects that settle
upon the "shootu and extract its
juices, the crop will be short one
fifth, perhaps one-fourth, The car
natures, but it is small and light.
A little more than year ago a
prominent farmer near by who
owns a vineyard, talked strong
ly of digging up his vines to make
room for corn. He did not do it,
however. He has just sold his
crop of grapes for a good price, and
he now entertains his neighbors
with an array of figures showing
that grape growing is more profit
able than corn growing. Unfortu-
nately for our people, they have
a great deal of corn and but few
grapes. Should the price of corn
advance to one dollar and half q
hundred, that farmer will "medi-
tate mischief" against his vines.
The best plan in the long run
would be for farmer to plant a
| variety, and not stake his all, as is
too often the case, on single crop.
Our officers are having rest,
and so are the people. The latter
arc enjoying it; the former are not.
Heretofore the cases in court have
numbered three to five a week;
now they scarcely number one a
month.
