Prof. Tice's weather for september

Clouding, threatening weather
and heavy rains or storms in places
from the 1st to 18th, 10th to 18th, 18th
to 18th, 18th to 21st, and 9th to 18th.
A tropical hurricane may appear on
the Gulf or South Atlantic coast on
the 18th. In that case, fair and cool
weather from the Ohio Valley
north-westward until the hurricane
has passed down north-eastward
along the coast. The earthquake
periods are about the I'd, Sth, 18th,
18th and 25th. The month of Sept
ember is noted for the frequency and
violence of hurricanes on the Gulf of
Mexico and along the gulf stream.
The number has reached five, but
the average is about three. The
average number of storm centers for
September is about thirteen, but
only three develop into serious
storms. On account of the hurricane
throwing high barometer in the
center of the Mississippi valley, the
tracks of storm-centres are very err
ratio during the month, sometimes
moving northward along the mer-
idian, and sometimes they are driv-
en- for time westwardly.

THERE was no principle of the
boilers from the late democratic
state convention rejected with more
emphasis by that convention than
the proposition to submit the settle
ment of the state debt to the people
to the verdict of the secret ballot.
And the proposition of the guber-
natoral candidate of these boilers,
that the nominee ofthat convention
should surrender to that principle,
was not a whit more absurd than
the proposition to the democratic
party to surrender to that principle
by fusion with those holding it, in
the selection of nominees to the leg
islature. The pretense of a desire
for fusion was simply for the pur-
poseof embarrassing the democratic
party, OF demoralizing and dividing
and defeating it.-NdshUiLte Aneri-

The Grand Military Drill.
Bowling Green Bulletin.


The managers Of the fair assOcia-
ton played a winning card in pre-
senting the grand military drill for
the pleasure Of its patrons. The
town and county and part of the
state emptied themselves TO supply
spectators for the new departure.
Fully $500 people were in attend
ance, and a Differentiated crowd is
seldom seen. At II o'clock the
Bowling Green Guards ''fell in"
and began the battle for the prizes.
Lieut.. Rogers, military instructor
i'm the University of the South at
Sewanee, Tenn, and Lieut.. Bald
win, of Newport, were the judges.
Each company were to drill one
hour by commands from q printed
program. The b. G. CPS did some
of their work very well, but they
lost that self-eOntrOl which was a
noticeable feature in the other COM
panies and committed errors where
usually they would be found well
drilled. A number of the move
ments were splendidly executed,
and ELECTED applause. For young
company scarcely out of their swad-
ling clothes they did wonderfully
well.
A recess was then had for dinner,
after which the GAINESVILLE City
Guards entered the ring, and were
greeted with hearty applause. The
same commands as executed by the
other company were given them aud
the drilling began. To an unprae-
ticed eye il was difficult to pick out
an error. Every movement seemed
to be performed with the regularity
of clock-work, and slight mistake
was lost sight of in their excellent
drilling. After finishing the pro-
gramme they retired, to make room
for the Porter Rifles, of Nashville,
who were warmly applauded on
entering. Again the spectators
were treated to series of splendid
executions and their oneness and
uniformity of movement was every
where remarked. Once more the
unmilitary observer was puzzled to
note where errors were made, and it
was expected that the scores of the
two last companies would run neck
and neck. The Porter Rifles with
drew after completing the pro-
gram, to await the decision of the
judges. They soon made their APP
pearance with the following score
which determined the result: Porter
Rifles, 210; Clarksville City Guards,
206; and the Bowling Green Guards,
100. The decision gave the Porter
Rifles first money $500 and the
GAINESVILLE Guards second money
$500. EHtH Ert-|

Read the secret circular of the

hazarding the success of the demo-

vote upon Wilson. 1t is absolutely

THE Nashville Banner asks: ITO
what extent, and subject to what
restrictions, may a merchant or
goodwill of his establishment, enter
upon the same business again? A
recent English decision throws some
light upon this subject that will be
of interest to lawyers and men en-
gagged in mercantile pursuits. The
facts are as follows:
''Some twelve months ago, one of
a firm of two partners, engaged in
the manufacture of iron, at Brad
ford, sold out his interest, including
his good will, to the other, and stip-
ulated not to carry on the iron bust
ness for ten years within ten miles
of Bradford, except at Leeds. Al
forwards the retiring partner began
the business at Leeds, and solicited
the patrons of the old firm to deal
with him. The Bradford manufac-
turer then applied to the master of
the rolls for an injunction to restrain
the Leeds manufacturer from either
soliciting the custom of the old firm
or from dealing with any customer
of the old firm, even though the lat
ter should voluntarily open an ac-
count with the retiring partner. The
master of the rolls granted the in
junction, but the court of appeal, in
sustaining his action in so far as it
restrained the Leeds manufacturer
from actively soliciting the patron
age of the old Bradford firm, mOdi-
fed the Injunction so as to permit
any customer of the old firm to deal
voluntarily with the former partner.

THIS is big country, and over
9,500,O0 votes will be cast in the
next election; but the contest will
be decided in all probabilities by
about 10000 men living in New
York, Connecticut, Ohio, and Indi-
ana, less number than the voters
of Hampden and Hampshire coun-
ties. 1t is this narrow knife blade
of doubtful vote on which the
great contest pivots which makes
rash predictions ridiculous.-,Spriag-

The Hon. G. A. HENRY died at
his home, in GAINESVILLE, Tennessee,
last week. No nobler gentleman or
truer man ever lived, and the pen
of eulogy can add nothing to the
character and memory he leaves for
the admiration and reverence of his
countrymen. The manly form is
PROSTATE and the silver tongue of
eloquence is now still in cold OBJ
struction's apathy, but the name
and virtues of the illustriOus dead
will be cherished as long as the state
he loved so well and served SO long
and faithfully has an existence. He

THE New York Times is very
anxious about public education in
the south, unmindful of the educa-
tionaI "desert wastes" in northern
states. When the republicans had
control of every southern state, they
did nothing for public education
there. Since they were bounced
there has been gratifying progress
in the work of extending the facili-
ties for common-school education.
Under republican rule, people were
taxed for schools which never came
into existence. The money was
stolen by republican offiee-holders
by the million.

UPON what grounds do republi-
cans claim Indiana in October for
Porter?
Says the Cincinnati Enquirer:
"The republicans did not carry
Indiana in thestate elections of 1870.
They did not carry Indiana in
the state elections of1S72. They did
not carry Indianain 1874. They did
not carry Indiana in 1876, and they
didn't carry Indiana in 1873. What
has happened on which they can
buiId a sensible hope, even, of car
rying the state in 1880? They

APluohy Yankee woman.

A plucky Yankee woman living
in Pittsfield, Maine, scared quack
out of his seven senses one day last
week. He had promised to cure
her of neuralgia If she would lay
roll of greenbacks ON the kitchen
table. She put the money on the
table as requested. He then asked
for pen, ink and paper, and when
she went upstairs to fetch them he
disappeared with the money. In a
moment she was behind him with
a revolver at his ear, and she kept
it there until he had crawled back
into the kitchen, put down the mon
ey and begged for mercy.
