While the CITIZEN deprecates the
2ctiol o; It's low-taX and greeubac
friends in bringing out an indepen-
dent candidate for the legislature,
and while it believes the movement
Is unwise and will fail for the want
of popular support, it recognizes
the fact that the gentlemen approx
ing The measures thus to be pro-
mu gated, are honest in their opin-
ions and earnest IN their convictions
OF duty. 1t thinks they are wrong
Radically wrong-in their views
OF grave question OF public policy,
but It cheerfuliy comedies TO them
the same right Of opinion and the
same honesty of purpose that it
claims for itself. Mr.. Rankin, their
candidate, is a gentleman of I'M
questioned integrity AID one Cor
whom we entertain the kindest
possible feelings. Apart from his
political opinions, which we believe
to be visionary and chimerical, he
enjoys the confidence and respect
OF his fellow citizens, for he squares
his conduct in all the transactions
of life by the strictest principles Of
integrity. This much we can very
properly say without compromising
our position, which shall be one OF
determined hostility to his election.
We recognize the fact that on the
overshadowing issues involved in
the presidential contest, low-tax and
state credit democrats stand shoul
der to shoulder, and we do not in
tend to let any question.growing out
of a purely local controversy pro
woke us into a quarrel with mem
bers of our own political household.
Moreover, we trust that every dem
ocrat will take similar view of the
matter, and that the present aggra
waiting contest will be conducted in
such way as to engender no bitter
feelings between friends and neigh

The Presbytery of Columbia con-
vened at Mt. Pleasant, Maury coun-
ty, on the evening of the 10th inst,
and was called TO order by the

Woods and Elder John NJ. Tower
a committee to visit the neighbor-
hood and if the way proved clear
to organize church.

cradle growth. The report from the

gratifying, showing nearly 10 acces-
sions to the membership since the
last presbytery.

DEDICATED TO GOD.
The New Methodist Church at
Aspen Hill Consecrated to
Divine Worship.

The new Methodist church at
Aspen Hill, handsome and com
modious structure recently erected,
was dedicated last Sunday by the
Rev. DR.. Leftwich, of Pulaski. A
large and deeply interested cCngre
CATION assem- bled at IL o clock A. NJ.
to hear the fervent and appropriate
discourse of the reverend gentle
man, which constituted the prelimi
nary feature Of the solemn and i'm
pl essive ceremonies. After the
sermon, DIR. Butler, chairman of the
Board of Trustees, presented the
church free of debt, to be set apart
for the worship of Almighty God
and to be kept free from all secular
and unhallowed uses. The gra-
cious offering was received by DR..
Leftwich in an appropriate address
to the trustees and the congrega-
ton, after which he proceeded to
dedicate the sacred edifice ac-
cording to the impressive forms of
the Methodist discipline. Six per-
sons were then received into the
church and the meeting was con
tinued for several DAYS. Large
crowds attended, especially at night,
and the growth of religious feeling
was steady and gratifying. AS
many as twenty penitents approach
ed the altar for prayers at one
time. Among the influential per
sons added to the membership were
Messrs. w. A. Coffman, James W.
Dickson and j. Pink May, jr. The
completion of this church is large
ly due to the interchangeable labors
of the Rev. R. L. Pagan, who is
now closing up the work of very
successful year on that circuit,
greatly beloved by the people.

THE FAIR.
Encouraging Signs of an Unusually
Successful Exhibition Next
Week.

In company with Mr.. David S.
Martin, one of the directors, we Wis
tied the fair grounds yesterday and
were gratified to see the extensive
preparations being made for facili-
Eating the exhibition next week.
Twenty additional box stalls have
been erected for the accommoda-
ton of stock, making some fifty in
all, besides so or 40 good stock
pens. Two of the wings of Floral
Hall have each been extended 20
feet, giving forty feet additional
space, and other improvements have
been made which will greatly facili-
tate the display of all articles en-
tered by the ladies. The track
has been carefully looked after and
is in fine condition for the Jrotters.
Ropes will be stretched by the asso-
citation so as TO afford hitching &C
commodations free to all who may
attend. The stables of Maj. j. b.
Stacy and Buford d Reynolds are
already on the ground. The form
err includes Bay Woodford, Warrior,
and seven other fine animals of less
er note, but with bright futures be-
fore them. Woodford is in splen-
did condition and we thought, when
Mr.. Braden brought him out, that
we had never seen a more beautiful
specimen of horseflesh. Buford &
Reynolds have eight fine animals,
including the famous George Nam
brine, and those dainty two year
olds De Soto, Miss Blackwood,
Matte Barnes and Bronze Wood.
The stables of Mr.. Dawes. of Mar
shall, and Mr.. Giers, of Maury, are
expected this week.
AS we have repeatedly said here
tofore, the prospects for a magnifil-
cent exhibition are more flattering
this year than at any time since the
war. The entries of fine stock of
every description are already num-
erous and there are constant appli-
cations for stable accommodations.
We predict fine display of cattle
and sheep. The programme en-
braces something Interesting every
day and the directors are deter
mined to excite public interest at
the start and keep it up to as high
pitch as possible until the eXhibi
ton closes. The ladies are mani
testing much interest in the mat
ter, especially in the country, and
we may expect a lively competi-
ton in culinary and pantry pro
ducts. Let there be a large atten-
dance, beginning with the first day.
The people will do their duty, we
feel assured.

ors that we would do what we prom
ised and would be a security there
for, and for this consideration they
would gladly exchange the existing
bonds for the new for I the amount.
1t is the interest and interest only,
the want. To say, as the demo-
cratic platform does, that coupons
shall not be receivable for taxes, is
just the same as an Individual who
owes another a given amount. and,
getting claim upon the other par
ty larger than the one against him,
refuses to let the claim against him
offset the other. This interest I'M
der the new contract, should be
paid, and, IN my opinion, it would
be wrong to say it should not be
in the way of taxes. Such to me
seems aa evidence of bad faith, az d
1t would have the effect of creating
in the minds of the creditors sus-
pIcion of our sincerity. 1t is
not only an evidence of bad faith
but is really reputation. If we are
justifiable in repudiating the inter
est are we not also the bonds them
selves? Give guarantee, 1 repeat,
for the payment of the coupons at
maturity, and then, if not taken up
for taxes or cashed by the treasurer
of the State, they will become a cir
culatlng medium, and add that
much to our circulation. If we pre-
tend to be so honorable and fair in
the settlement, and SO denunciatory
to outspoken reputation, let US see
that We ourselves are not chargea-
BILE with the same, though It may
be in less degree. The desire of
all-those who are for paying the
entire debt, those who acknowledge
themselves regulators land these
are few or those who are such but
deny it's to have a settlement
made and thus get rid of this vexed
question. E. EDMUNDsoN.

IMPRESSIVE CEREMONY.
Ordination of Rev. 7. 2. Caller to
the Priesthood.

Last Thursday evening Bishop
Quintard arrived IN Pulaski with
several of the clergy of the diocese,
and on Friday morning at IL
o clock, in the Church of the Messi-
ali, the Rev. L. F. Gailor, who has
been officiating here for the past
fourteen months, was ordained to
the priesthood. Everything was
done to render the service as beau
tlful and impressive as possible.
The chancel looked very bright with
the white festal hangings and a
profusion of flowers, among which
two very handsome vases, were no
ticeable, recently presented to the
church as a memorial of the late
Mrs. Jane B. McKimmin. The
choir consisted of Mrs. Il. w. Ew-
ing, Mrs. John G. Brown and Miss
Della Alternately, sopranos; Messrs.
f. Winship and @. w. Stirling,
tenors; DIR. Bate and G. Carter,
bassos. The music was unusually
good, especially the offertory selec-
ton, in which Mrs. Ewing and Mrs.
Brown took the leading parts. The
Rev. F. p. Davenport. preached a
very able and powerful sermon on
the office of the priesthood, con
Guiding with brief and appropriate
address to the candidate for ordIna-
ton.
Rev. Mr.. GaIlor was presented by
Rev. DR.. Harris, of Memphis, who
also presented him last year when
be was ordained to the Deaconate.
Both gentlemen occupied places in
front of the chancel rail until the
ordination service was ended and
the Holy Communion had been ad-
ministered to them. There is prob
ably no service in the Episcopal
Prayer Book of such singular so
lemnity and impressiveness as that
for the ordering of priests, and every
one present felt that it must indeed
be an event of great Importance in
the life of the young clergyman. In
the evening the rite of confirmation
was administered to a class of five,
DR.. Harris preaching the sermon.
Rev. Mr.. Gailor is a young minister
of decided talent and promise, whose
upright department and decorous
bearing have endeared him to the
citizens of Pulaski. He is gradu-
ate from a prominent literary col
lege, and also graduate of the Gen
eral Theological Seminary, New
York, where he stood high in his
class.
Among the clergy present were
Rev. DR.. Beckett, of Columbia; Rev.
Mr.. Fits, of GAINESVILLE; Rev. Mr..
Harrison, of Nashville; Rev. F. P.
Davenport, of Tullahoma, and Rev.
DR.. Harris, of Memphis.
