Herald by Col. Robert Emmett Thomp-
son of Lebanon, the recognized leadeS
of the low-tax party in Wilson county:

L see that the Huntsville Sentinel re-
commends the Hon. 5. +. Wilson to
both sides for governor. If we are not
mistaken in Mr.. Wilson'S record, twill
suit either side, for his record, like the
old mans SOW, Is on both sides OF the
ditch. In 1876 the Hon. Lee Head offer
ed a bill in the legislature TO compro-
mise the state debt at 40 cents on the
dollar. Mr.. Wilson wrote an article for
the Gallatin Tenhesseean, I'm which he
denounced Mr.. Heads bill as an cut
rageous attempt to defame the state by
repudiating its honest debt. In 1877,
he supported the Phelan bill, which pro-
posed TO settle the~iebt at 80 and 4. So
strong was he for this bill that he NOV
ed tie previous question, no rs 10 cut off
all debate, In 1879, he voted against
the so and compromise in the legisla-
ture, but refused to sign The protest
against its passage gotten up by those
who voted against it, and when he went
home he told the members Ofthe Gala
tin bar that the compromise was the
best that could be done, and the people
should accept it. At the commence
ment of the lete canvass, he made. a
speech at Gainsboro, In whlch he took
the same position. After the canvass
was opened, and public sentiment de-
veloped, he took q bold stand against
| the compromise. After the election, be
told Col. Tom Claiborne that he was for
paying whatever equities the supreme
court might decide against the state In
the big railroad suit. At the last meet
ing here, he told the low-taXers not to
be bulldozed by the high-taxers. He
told the high-taxers that the low-taxcrs
were revolutionary, and that he did not
approve of their course.

Amusing Provisions in Ancient

A foreign review of a new book
entitled "Curiosities of the Search

Whimsical Wills writes as fol
lows:
Tine chapter on Eccentric Wills,
on Vindictive Wills and no Direc-
tions for Burial, contain some curl
Gus illustrations of human frailty
and folly. A certain DIR. Ellerby
bequeaths his heart to one friend,
his lungs to another, and his brains
to third, declaring that if they do
not execute his wishes with regard
TO them, eff 1t should be by any
means possible" Another testator,
an American, requires that his skin
shall be made into two drum heads,
upon which are to be inscribed the
Poye's Universal Prayer and the
Declaration of Independence; an
other American, a New Yorker,
leaves seventy-one pairs of trousers,
to be sold to the highest bidder,
without examination, no purchaser
being allowed to buy more than one
pair. In each pair was found a
bundle of bank notes, representing a
thousand dollars. A Frenchman

A Useful Lesson,

Teach your boy to save part of
his earnings, if it be ever so small
sum. If he can lay by only
twenty-five cents a week, let him
save that. 1t doesn't amount to
much, it is true, but it is worth saw
ing; it is letter saved than wasted
better saved than thrown away
for tobacco, or beer, or any other
worthless article or object. But
the best thing about it is that the
boy who saves twelve dollars year
on a very meagre salary acquires a
habit of taking care of his money
which will be of the utmost value to
him. The reason why workingmen,
as a class, do not get ahead faster,
are not more independent, is that
they have never learned 80 save
their earnings. Young people who
desire to retain their own independ-
ence under all circumstances must
learn to save. So surely as they
do this, so surely will they be in a
situation to ask no special favors.
Every man needs to feel that he is
the peer of other men; and he can
not do it if he is penniless. Money
is power, and those who have it ex-
ert a wider influence than the des-
titute. Hence, it should be the am
btion of all to acquire 'it-honestly,
of course. This is lesson in life
winch should be early learned.

A Fathers Testimony.

A drunken father arose from
his sleep one day after he had
been drinking, and saw his little
daughter preparing food, and turn
ing TO her in tone almost tender,
he said: "Millie, what makes you
stay with meT' "Because you are
my father and / love you,' said the
child. "You love me?' answered
the wretched father; "MilIie, what
makes you love me? Pm only a
miserable drunkard. Every body
else despises me. Why don't your
Dear father" said Mile, her
eyes filing with tears, my mother
taught me to love you, and every
night it seems in my dreams, as
though she stood by my bed and
said, Mile, don't leave your poor
father; he will get over the power of
strong drink some day, and then
how happy you will ber' His poor
heart could not stand against such
love as this. Taking her in his
arms, and weeping like child.
from that day he became a temper

The Cause and Cure of Snoring.

A writer in the Scientific Month
ly tells how the habit of snoring is
acquired, and better, how it may be
cured: Aud, first, the cause: We
all know that the air reaches the
lungs through two channels, the
nose and the mouth. The two cur
rents meet in the throat below the
soft palate, the end of which hangs
loose and swings backward and for
ward, producing the Snoring. If
the air reaches the lungs as it
should, through the nose, no noise
will be made. II it reaches the
same through the mouth. the palate
will make more noise, since it is not
the natural channel, but when it
rushes through both channels, then
it is that the sound sleeper banishes
rest from the pillows of his com
panions by his hideOus noise. The
remedy for snoring is TO keep the
mouth closed; and for this purpose

GO WAY, TANNERS
A Giles County Negro goes 365
Days Without Water and 9
Days Without Food or
Water.

Jesse Porter is the name of an
aged colored man who lives on the
!arm of Mr.. Mark McNairy, i've
miles north of Pulaski. He is re-
garded as very honest and has
been living on the place fifty years
without once leaving it. He works
well and is rational upon all sub
jects, except religion. He labors
under the hallucination that he has
an open account with the.Lord up
on which is charged all his sins
and that they are added up every
day, while he is credited by acts of
penance such as fasting, praying,
etc. A balance sheet is drawn
OH occasionally and if it Is found
that the debit column is growing
manageable, the Lord comes 70
him in the night and directs a fast
or q season of prayer. He keeps
the account in bounds by a regular
custom, summer and winter, of 60
ing to certain tree to pray, but
sometimes the temptor leads him
into indiscretions that necessitate
severe penance, and 1t is then the
nocturnal appearance is made and
he receives his instructions as to
the corrects mode of liquidating.
Some time in the winter of 1873
the bills had run up against him
enormously and he received Visi-
tation and a command to abstain
from water and the eating Of
meats for the space of year. He
entered upon and completed the
task of RETAINING from use of wa
ter and meats 365 days without APP
parent Inconvenience. He allowed
him self to drink buttermilk, but IN
do inordinate quantities, but fol
the whole period he used no salt in
his bread. This brought down the
account and he was happy for some
time, but again the tempter wal
lowed him, and for this the com
mand came that nothing should
pass down his throat for the
space of nine days. This was in
the early part of this year. He en-
tered upon his fast very corpulent
and strong and for nine full days
he went without either food or
drink. When at last his fast was
ended his jaws hung down in fabs
and his rotund form was collapsed
like a bladder with the wind
squeezed out of it. There were NJ
doctors to mark the flash of his eye,
to test the temperature under his
arms, to count the retchings of his
stomach. No telegraph fed gaping
thousands of idiots with accounts
of his wonderful fUolishness. But
there are good and reliable citizens
who live in that neighborhood who
will vouch for the truths herein
contained. He seems to be keeping
up with his account now, but when
he gets behind We may look out
for something that will run Tanner
clear out of the ring.
