FROM HALLIBURTON'S.
Bethel Cemetery.


When we think of those who have passed
from this 10 another mode Of existence,
there is a degree of sadness which accOmpa-
MES our thoughts, and as a means by which
this sadness can be lessened, we should
have nice place for the purpose of deposit
Ting the bodies of our friends after life has
become extinct.
SO thought one who now sleeps in Bethel
Cemetery, who in his generosity saw fit to
donate the land which constitutes this bur-
ial place to Bethel community as place
where the surrounding country could depOs-
It their dead and decorate their graves in
such a way as would bring about fond recOl-
lections of those who sleep in the marrow
home.n
This beautiful country cemetery is Situa-
ted on n very high place In District No. 8, of
Montgomery county, on what is known as
the GAINESVILLE and Turnersville road, some
nine miles east of GAINESVILLE, and presents
rather pleasant sight TO the passer-by. In
1864, a few persons were buried here, and
after the erection of Bethel church in 1910, it
was made a public burying ground, and
was put under a good fence, which being in
bad repair, the citizens of the neighbOrhood
as a manifestation of their interest in the
cemetery and their appreciation of the do
nor, have recently moved the old fence and
placed a new and more substantil II one in
its stead, among those who took quite an
interest in the affair was Mr.. David HalIi-
burton, whose five little children lie side by
side in this eonsecrated place.
In this cemetery may be seen some fair
specimens of workmanship in tombstOnes
and monuments from Nessrs. C T. Wells &
Co. OF Jacksonville, KY, and Mr.. Samuel
Hodgson of ClarksvtIle, Tenn.

tion won't lay it; it will revisit the
glimpses of the moon, bringing with
it financial disaster and confusion,
politicaldiscord, retarded prosperity
as ssblasts from hell, = and no reviv-
ing "airs from heaven" until, its
terms fulfilled, it shall slumber
quietly i'm the grave of Oblivion.
At present a committee of nine is
engaged, with the slenderest posi-
BILE prospect Of agreement, in con-
sidering what precise proposition it
shall lay before the people for their
action, and every conceivable her.
esq is embodied in the various
propositions, to repudiate all, to re-
pudiate the Brownlow bonds and
pay various percentages on Others
according as we like or loathe them,
etc, etc., none, of course, TO pay the
whole debt. In some propositions
the bonds tor the State Capitol and
the Hermitage are proposed 10 be
paid in full, but with interest re-
duced to four per cent, and it seems
not impossible that the nine com
mitteemen will send IN nine con.
fiicting reports. That a satisfactory
conclusion will not in any case be
arrived at results inevitably from
the following clause in the majority
report of the Debt Committee;
Hence their payment, settlement or ad
| iustment rests, or should do so, not upon thu
assumption OF their legally authorized con
/ tract validity, nor upon any ethical sane
/ ton, but upon the determination and con
/ clus1on of a wise State policy. This
| observing present relations and thei
antecedents, and properly forecasting tn
! future, will adept with reference to then
! that which is most equitable and for the bes
public welfare.
So long as ethical sanctions ar
disregarded, no hopeful plan o
solution can be anticipated.

The following is the report of the
Committee on Finance, Ways and
Means on the State debt, as submit
ted to the State Senate by Mr.. Saw
age and read by Mr.. Shearon:
The committee recommends that the Cap
itol. Hermitage and Agricultural bonds and
the bonds held by Mrs. p Tx, and bonds held
by educational institutions OF the state,
upon which interest has been PAID undef
resolution of the last General Assembly, be
settled and funded with accrued interest at
the rate of 80 cents ON the dollar at per
cent. interest; that the Union Bank Dondsi
Bank of Tennessee bonds, turnpike bonds,
HiawaSsee Railroad bonds, Z. L. & Georgia
Railroad bonds, Lagrange and Memphis
bonds, ana bonds known as ahte-Ha az ram ran.
road bonds, be funded with accrued interest
at so cents on the dollar with per cent M
terest that the bonds funded under act OF
1868, and bonds funded under act OF 1873, De
funded at the rate of 3315e ON the dollar with 4
per cent interest; that the Mineral Home
bonds, and bonds funded under act of 1861
supposed to cover war interest, be rejected
that the railroad bonds issued since the war
be paid in the MISUNDERSTANDING treasury
warrants of the state at the rate of SS1s cents
to the dollar, with accrued interest in de-
nominations of s., $40, SO and $50, receivable
for taxes and all other dues to and from the
State. It is further recommended that the
General Assembly act directly on the subject
matter without the Intervention of a COM
mittee TO sit after its adjournment.
Immediately following this bill
was reported for settling the debt
on these principles, to be voted upon
by the people on the first Thursday
in August, if previously passed by
the State Legislature, and not to
become law unless ratified by such
popular vote.
Mr.. Samsell, from the same COM
mittee, submitted the following
minority report:
Mr.. Samsell as zone of the minority of
the Finance Committee, dissents from the
majority" and reports that there ought to
be no discrimination made between the
bOndholdars and preferred creditors that
the bonds outstanding are all written evil
0ences of the States Indebtedness, and con-
tain q solemn promise TO pay. The majority
insist that there is but ore proposition from
the bOndholders, which is the one known as
the 80 cents proposition, with per cent in
teTest; nor is there any assurance that any
other will be accepted by the bOndholders,
and any scaling OF the bonds, without their
consent, IL reputation; ana as as turtnef
reason, that the State has heretofore tW1cA
funded each series of bonds alike, with the
interest thereon, and, therefore, now pre-
ton.
Other minority reports are am
nounced as forthcoming. The bill
above alluded to provides in its
eleventh section
That all bonds that shall not be presented
for funding and settlement within two years
next after the Legislature shall make pro-
visions therefor shall be forever barred and
not paid.
This constitutes it reputation
outright if ratified by the people.
Comment is useless.

TAIL TALK.
Our neighbor the Nashville Amer
lean gives It's the following from the
New York Mail:

New York Mail:
The Republicans In Congress win not yield
10 this highwayman' demand. II the Dem
ocrntie majority repeal the Federal election
law the repeal will be vetoed. If the Denq-
Gratis then persist in Withholding the means
10 carry on the Government, the president
wilt stand firmly and appeal to the country.
If the revOlutioniStS still persist, the same
loyal North that crushed a great and respect
able rebellion viii furnish all the means
needed to run the Government, until new
Congress can be elected, representing those
who have won the right to rule the country,
s. long as rebellion continues TO show its
battered ana bloody front. Andt this leads
to q new civil war, the next job OF crushing
out rebellion VIII be done 50 thoroughly that
not living einber win be LEFT 10 entSiFdie 2
new flame.
Now that is glorious; there is an
eagles flap in the wings of it which
is quite inspiring. OF course resist
ance to the Radical party is rebel
lion, and of course the the truly
loyal must put it down. But that
thing of the North furnishing means
to run the Government, politicians
putting their hands into their own
pockets and bringing out gold and
silver and greenbacks on demand I!
No, no, that Is rather too steep /;
they did not go into politics as a
business for that; it is their mission
to put their hands into other mems
pockets.

to m ear six, instead Of four dollars . day.
Secretary Mills at the same time informed
