In the early hours Of this morning,

they trudged up fernando from the

dazzling ball OF white blaze, apparent

looked somewhat scared. Numbers Of
people stopped and gazed at the phen-
omena or mirage, aud many thought it
an unusually bright planet or n of
the most brilliant asteroids dropped
from its place to within a short dis
lance Of the earth. Upon close ex-
animation it turned out to be the rays
of the sui penetrating the heavy mist
and striking square against a large
pane of glass neal the top of the lofty
spire or cupola on the Second street
Central Baptist church. The spire
was entirely obscured by the misty
haze ~envelopipg the earth, except to
those who made close inspection. Tie

Of the suns bright rays upon a glass

Do Bees Iniure Fruit?

We have long tiled to believe it
not. We have the following august
authority travelling the rounds Of the
press
Wo once told Mr.. Wilhelm Helm
rich Whokendemffescha a
Whole soulcd Dutchman Of our &C.
qu intance, that bees did not injure
fruit in the least, when he pitched in
and said he knew better and gave the
souudest argument we ever heard that
bees do iDjure fruit, in the following
words
"Vonce a long time ago, ven l first
TO dis country gone, | vent into mine
abble orchard to CLINE a bear tree to
kit some beaches to make mine vrow

We do not like to g~aiLsay or resist
such positive, convincing facts. We
think the entire question may now
rest without a bubble on this presen-
tation Of the case; it is 80 pure in Ian
guage, thought and style, that il
should be accepted as a model.

manufacturer glories in the exhibi
ton and display Of the various articles
Of improved implements in farming.
Tho merchants should be in With each
other in the display Of their goods.
An exhibition OF this kind is worth a
dozen advertisements in a newspaper.
There is no class Of men in Shelby
county as much interested in the suc-
cess of a good fair as the merchants
aud manufacturer are. Look at St.
Louis where more than one
hundred thousand people visit her
fair every year. Then her mer.
Chants and manufacturers of every
description rejoice at the approach of
the fair. Acres Of space is occupied
by them in the exhibition of their
goods. The result of it: thar every
kind of business is benefited by it.
Millions Of dollars are left in St. Louis
at the termination Of every fair.
Of course it is not expected that
Shelby county can cope with St Louis
in a fair. We are just commencing.
Now let every merchant, mechanic
and manufacturer take hold of this
matter and aid the farmers who have
recently bought this magnificent
ground and are putting it in fine con-
dition and make it a brilliant success
The fair will open next Tuesday. Let
all who wish this great enterprise to
succeed, have all their articles for
exhibition on the grounds by Monday
night. There is ample room and
shelter for everything, and a good
man to take charge OF all articles.

The chairman Of the state demo-

from Indiana:
LIBERTY IND, October l, 1885,
Chairman Tennessee state central
democratic committee Dear Sir: A
man by the name OF Thomas D. Evans,
attorney-at. law, came to Liberty over
a year ago, an entire stranger to every
one here. Since then he has claimed
to be a republican, and then again a
democrat. Bills are out announcing
that be will make a republican speech
in Brownsville. in this county, to-
night. He is announced to speak on
the subject OF the solid South" its
Intimidation Of Negroes" Rebel
Democracy" "Ku. Klux Klins' and
Social 0stracism on Account of
Political Difference Of Opinion n" etc,
etc. He claims to have gradu-
ated at the Lebanon law school,
and to have pr1oticed law at
Lebanon, Gallatin and Nashville. He
Gays that during the war he was an
officer of Stokes regiment, in the
union army, and that thTo ugh his
unionism he was socially and in every
manner ostracised and compelled Il
leave the state Of Yennesi ee. Al
present he is an intense radical, anC
during his residence here has con
stantly been seeking Office at tht
hands Of both PARTIES at the sym'
time. Our faith in him is weak. W.
would like to know il his stories o
himself and the south are true
Please search his record and oblige
yours. respectfully,

The committee proceeded to search
Evarts' record, aud did not have u
search far. Among the records o
the federal court it was found that il
November. 1873, Evans was sentenced
TO five years imprisonment for hav.
ing forged the official bond Of JofepI

in 1870. he served out part of hi
time IN the Nashville penitentiary,
and waJ pardoned by President Grant
Ho was Blaekburn's deputy, and be-
fore the law overlook him committed
many official rascalitios. A complete
copy Of the record in his case has been
sent to Indiana and will make lively
campaign reading. Evans was not a
member Of Stokes cavalry, and is
not supposed TO have belonged to any
command. He was always regarded
as a hummer and a man Of low char

about the face and neck. The prime
mover, Tom Mitchell, a sort Of ring
leader and standard bearer in affairs
of the kind skipped as soon as the

to mOnopolize the landing and bull
doze outsiders whose business take
them there. a few heavy fines and
forty days on the island might have a.
good tendency toward peace and order.
DANGEROUS BUILDING.
At the Instance Of the chief Of the

laid down in such cases, Mr.. Joseph
Mulcahy was arrested this morning
for erecting a wooden structure with
ia the FIRE limits without permission
aud directly contrary to orders. The
law relating to certain classes of
wooden buildings is framed with a
view to the protection Of surrounding
property, it being a rule among insur-
ance companies to charge a higher
rate Of insurance upon property sur
rounded by easily combustible build
inss within the Gre limits than upon
other buildings Attic request of his
counsel Mr.. Mulcahy was granted a
Weeks's continuance.
