The Nationals last Saturday played their
final game Of ball this season, and for the sew
enth, time administered defeat to tho Chi.
cago club, tho champions of tho league. They
have done what no club in the league was able
to accomplish this year, and that was to de-
feat tho champions by winning n majority Of
series of games. In almost every instance
they have confronted the same strong team
that has been pitted against tho league clubs
Many persons claim that the Nationals should
enjoy the laurels of champions. They downod
every club IN tho national association, and

Capt. Jas. II. Burnanl.

This gentleman was, on Fri
day evening, at his residence in
Fayetteville, serenaded by the
Fayetteville Brass Band. The
compliment was rendered him
i'm view of his recent selection
by the Democratic party as their
candidate for electOr in our Con-
gressiOnal district.
The serenade attracted to the
place a large crowd of citizens
Of our town.
In response, Capt. Burnam,
from the steps of his elegant res
idencc, delivered a most eloquent
and effective speech on behalf
of Hancock and English.
After Capt. Burnam had con-
cluded Capt. j., w. Newman
was loudly called for by the
crowd, and made a jealous, burn
ing appeal in behalf of John V.
Wright and the State platform.
Whenever Wright's name was
mentioned by the speaker it met
with the strongest applause.
Col. 10. G. Carrigan was next
loudly called for, and concluded
the 'evening exercises" with a
stirring appeal on behalf of
Hancock and English and John
| V. Wright in his usual happy
vein. ~
1t was announced that while
Capt. Burnam would not dis
cuss State issues in the coming
campaign, but confine himself
exclusively to National ques-
tons, yet. that he was firm and
decided supporter of John V.
Wright and the platform on
which he was nominated. This
is as it should be.

A Hancock and English and
Wright Club.

The democracy of Fayette-
vile met at the courthouse last
Saturday night and organized
a Hancock and English and
Wright club.
w. b. Lamb was elected tenn
porary chairman, who, in a short
speech, stated the object of the
meeting.
On motion, a committee on
permanent organization was APP
pointed, consisting of the follow
ing named gentlemen: G. HI.
Newman, j. 4. Hancock, w. S.
Morgan, r. e. Davidson, Chas.
Waddle, H. X. Bryson, N. N.
Whitaker and M. w. Woodland.

lowing officers: FL. X. Bryson,
President; M. n. Whitaker and
r. s. Bradshaw, Vice Presi-
dents; j. r. Woodland and John
w. Lloyd, Secretaries; j. r.
Hancock, Treasurer.
Mr.. Bryson, OH taking the
chair, made a short and patriotic
speech, in which he said his
whole soul was enlisted in the
cause Of the democracy.
Col. Joe. G. Carrigan, being
called for, made a logical speech,
in which he showed conclusively
that Hon. John V. Wright was
the regular nominee of the party
for Governor, and said that he
was willing to canvass the coun-
ty in behalf Of the distinguished
standard-bearer of the democrat
ic party. Col. Carrigan touch
ed up several of the prominent
leaders of the boiling party in
his usually happy style.
After Col. Carrigan had fin
ished his speech, Capt. j.. w.
Newman was called for, who
paid a high tribute to the young
men of the democratic party.

them to work for the success of
the only party which could save
the great State of Tennessee from
disgrace. He also furnished a
few scraps Of history.
On motion, the county papers
were requested to publish the
proceedings of the club.
The meeting adjourned to
meet Wednesday evening at 8
o'clock.

A Mistake.

We regret that our statement in
last weeks issue that Capt. Toll
ley would support Wright and
the regular Democratic platform
was a mistake. We are now i'm
formed that he will make a can
vass for Wilson. We feel, how
ever, that he pays Q compliment
to the fair management of the
Convention when he expresses a
desire to discuss the question
Jointly with Col. Tillman, the
chairman of the late Convention,
and gives as a reason for it, that
the questions will be fairly and
calmly discussed. Capt. Tolley
is a good speaker, and we have
never known him to indulge in
personalities. We regret that
one so long identified with De-
mocracy, and Democratic usage.
should join the "bolters." He
will regret it only once, and that
will be always.

of The mountain was covered
two-thirds of the way up with a
thick and thrifty coat of sedge
grass and brshes-the bush be-
ing at the time covered with
dead leaves. We had made con-
siderable progress up through
the grass and bushes, and was
getting near the bare part when
we suddenly heard away below
a loud, warning noise followed
shortly by a hot wind bringing
vast volumes of smoke: Rous-
ed by CONSERVATION and dread,
we commenced the tug for dear
life, pulling and almost carrying
our younger brothers, who doubt
less would have persisted in the
rapidly advancing flames but for
our assistance. The object Of
our efforts now was to reach a
huge rock projecting almost
horizontally from the side of the
mountain. The scene now was
awful, beyond description. The
sight of immense waves Of lurid
flames surging upward, the black,
whirling clouds Of smoke, the
noise of a thousand mill dams,
roaring and cracking all COM
bined made a scene of awful
sublimity. We reached the
rock, the flames hard after us,
then we only saved our lives
from suffocation by lying with
our faces down on the rock.
The flames passed around us and
onward and upward like hur-
ricane, and left us to crawl back
down the mountain with sadder
and wiser hearts. We had bro

Public Meeting.

We, the citizens of the 18th
civil district, Lincoln county,
Tenn, having met according to
previous appointment hereby de-
clare:
LIST. That we heartily approve
and endorse the action of the
low-tax Democratic party in the
late Convention, assembled at
Nashville on the 10th inst, and
believe it to. be the only true
Democratic party in the State.
ID. That we do not regard the
ruling element of the Convention
at Nashville as being any part
or parcel of the old Jeffersonian
Democracy, from the fact, that
in their platform of principles,
they refuse to recognize the SOW
ereign voice of the people..at the
ballot box in settling questions
of vital interest to the whole
people; and we admonish the
people to beware of such par
ty.
Sd. That we are unable to dis
tinguish any difference between
Judge Wright on the one hand
and Judge Hawkins on the
other, that they are moving
on together, beautifully yoked
Judges, side by side, shoulder to
shoulder, stepping to the same
music, the key note Of which is
the ostensible Indebtedness of
the State is all just, all valid,
and all ought to be paid, and
both declare that they will make
the best compromise with the
States creditors possible.
4th. That we believe just, val
id debts ought not to be compro-
missed, that to compromise them
is reputation, and we hereby en-
dorse the low-tax Democratic
platform, and pledge ourselves
earnestly and heartily to support
the nominee, Hon. S. F. Wilson,
of Sumner.
9Th. That we heartily approve
of the determination of Gov. A.
S. Marks not to accept a nomi-
nation for Governor upon a plat
form in hostility to his people,
and applaud the action as the
noblest Of his life-the sacrifice
fof personal ambition to the good
Of his country.
9th. That we tender Judge j.
civilians our unfeigned thanks
for the heroic manner in which
he presided over the delibera-
tions of the low-tax Democratic
Convention.
18th. That a copy of these res
olutions be sent each of the Lin
coin county papers for publica-
ton. w. G.. SUGG,

The Fayetteville and Elkton
Turnpike has within the past two
weeks, under the superinten-
dence Of Directors c. S. Wilson
and j. X. Moores, placed upon
their roadthreethoasdnd quagon
loads Of graue5 or about two
hundred and fifty loads per mile.
This was done, as shown by the
books Of the Company, at a cost
i'm the aggregate of S63.30;
$I29.45 in cash and $733.63 in
Turnpike tickets. The work
was done principally by farmers
living along the line of the pike,
who agreed TO take, tickets for
toll in pay. The only payments
in actual cash were to bands lift
ing gravel in the gravel pits.
This work places this important
turnpike i'll excellent condition
for Winter travel. Too much
credit cannot be given to Messrs.
I'D. Sugg, VIM Bonner, j. ID.
Tillman, &. S. Wilson and j. X.
Moores, the efficient Directors of
the Company, for their important
work at so little cost. ~
The Fayetteville and Mulber-
ny Turnpike Company have also,
in the past few weeks, placed
about one thousand wagon loads
of gravel on their road bed and
are still at work. iss.sa
Can't our friends on the Fay
etteville and Sheibyville Turn
pike re7grader their road-bed this
FALL after the cheap method
adopted by the Fayetteville and
Elkton Company?
The Fayetteville and Wells
HiIf Company, though their road
bed docs not need it badly, ex-
pect to do considerable work on
their road before Winter sets in.
The Fayetteville and Peters
burg Turnpike Company have
about finished their six miles of
road, and that SO recently that
it viii need no repairing this

ously watching him with one
eye; in his capers he falls over
the historical rocking chair, she
cries out "stop your nonsense,
Murray, the neighbors will think
you crazy" then it is that he is
reminded that his greatest forte
is in selling the bay state shoe
IL leather boots and shoes, every
pair warranted to neither rip nor
leak until worE out, his ready
anadc clothing and ladies' hats
at cost, his cottcnades and
jeans at ten 10 twenty cents per
yard, the greatest drive ever Of
fered to the people of this coun-
ty. Then take a look at his

different beautiful patterns rep

thousand dollars worth of car
pets, his mems and boys wool,
saxony and fur hats bought by

Pistols.

ED.OBsERvER is frequent
ly the case that the law making
power is in advance of the NOR
al sentiment of a people, and en-
acts laws which cannot be effect
i've for good for that reason. 1t
is seldom, however, that we have
the iaw-making power and the
moral sense Of the people i'll har-
mony, and the Judicial depart
ment failing to administer the
law. Even towards and dema-
gOgues generally do right when
sustained by the people; hence
the strangeness of ourpresent sit
uation. The whole community
admits that pistol carrying is Il
great evil; that it ought to be
put down, and we earnestly de-
sire to do so; yet when these
cases get into the courthouse
we find merely a nominal fine
imposed. In other words, a gil
ant evil is merely an indiscretion
when we get before the court.
The community has right to
protect itself, and sometimes I'M
der such circumstances invokes
the aid of Judge Lynch. We
all want law and order maintain
ed, but We cannot have. the laws
respected by good citizens while
"arabs" go around armed and
shoot down whoever happens to
be in the way or convenient.
Shall the Laecs be administer
Ted, or shall the community take
the matter into its hands?

Col. Tillman at Georges Store

On day or two's notice.only,
at the request of a number of
citizens Of Georges Store, Col.
j. d. Tillman addressed an au-
dience of some seventy-five per-
sons at the above named place,
on Saturday evening last. After
Col. r. had finished his address
it was announced that they were
| all, or nearly so, of one mind in
that district, that is, to support
John V. Wright, the regular
nominee of the Democratic par
Ity. This is as it should be. The
Democrats of this sterling old
Democratic district will never
permit themselves to be classed
with "bolters" or reputation
lists.
