IF we are allowed to compare the
Hyperion" Roscoe with something
even inferior to Satyr, we should
suggest that the lordly COnkling's
action in resigning his seat in the
senate was a good deal like that of
the thoughtless farmer boy who
hitched himself up with big year
ling steer in order to accustom the
animal to the CALLING yoke. Pretty
soon he was heard toeXclaim, "head
us off! Blame our fool souls-here
we come, head us 2" When, after
the doctors had worked with him a
day and night and brought him
around, the verdant rustic remark
ed, "that ar steer hadn't made
morn'n a dozen jumps fore 1 re-
lized that l had made a mistake"
The difference is Conk could not be
revived.

JUDGE NATHAN CLIFFORD, of
the U. S. Supreme court, died at
Cornish, Maine, last Monday morn
ing. He was nearly seventy eight
years of age, and for some years past
had been confirmed invalid. For
the last few months he had entirely
lost his mind, not being able even
10 tender his resignation. He filed
many stations of. honor in Maine,
and in 1916 he became attorney gem
eral in President Folks cabinet,
and afterwards went as minister to
Mexico. In 1858 he was appointed
by President Buchanan, an associ-
ate Justice of the Supreme court of
the United States, and has held his
placefor the last twenty-three years.
He was a lifelong Democrat and
his death leaves only one democrat
now remaining on the Supreme
bench, Judge Field. HIS position
will, of course, be filed by repub-
lican, by appointment of the presi-
dent

The Atlanta Exposition

We have received from Mr.. H. |.
Kimball, DirectOr-general of the
great Atlanta, Ga, cotton and in
dustrial exposition, which COM
mences Oct. 3, next, a circular, CIV
ing full information relative to the
department of minerals and woods,
which department is to be made one
of the especial features of the expo
sitiOn, and is expected to be large
and attractive, and fairly represent
the resources of the several states in
their products of mine and forest.
No entry fees will be required for
exhibits in this department. Ex-
hibits may be made by individuals
as well as by states, counties and
towns, also by railroad companies
or other corporations. 1t is sug-
gested that Tennessee have an ex-
hibition of some of her vast resour-
ces, such as coal, copper ores, mar

gold, lead, zine ore, iron pyrites.

cOuntyma1, Hon. J. B. Killebrew,
is chief of the department of miner

take great pride in seeing his own
county well represented. This ex-
position will be the largest affair Of
the kind which has eyer occurred in

WE have received from the rresi-
dent, DIR. f. r. Cook, the program
and premium list of the seventeenth
annual Fair Of the Christian county
KY, Agricultural and Mechanical
Association, which is to be held in
Hopkinsville, October next, the 9Th
9th, 18th and Sth. The fairs of this
association are always a success and
attended annually by large con-
course of people from Christian, and
adjoining counties. Judging from
the premium list, we should think
the directors propose to make it
even more successful and attractive
than ever before. Many of our citi-
zens are accustomed to attend this
fair every year and we can assure
them they will find it more worthy
of their attendance this year than
on any previous occasion.

The Wytheville (Va.) Dispatch,
a re-adjuster organ, in commenting
some weeks ago on what it seems
to think the state-credit party of
Virginia meant as sIur against
Frank s. Blair, the Mahone party's
nominee for attorney general of the
state, says:
The ultra Bourbon newspapers
bring it up in a sneering, contempt
uOus style-Captain +. S. Blair, Of
Tennessee. What is the crime,
what is the reproach in a Tennessee
birth? To-day, Tennessee is in adj
vance of Virginia. In noble sacri-
fees, in generous deeds, in brilliant
minds, in wealth, in all that forms
q state she has never Jagged behind
Virginia in the past, and IL may be
considered an honor to claim such
nativity.
We thank our esteemed, but mis-
guided, contemporary for the very
enthusiastic language in which it
sees fit to speak of Tennessee, and
are proud Of the compliments; but
we cannot think the appellation
"Of Tennessee" was used by the
true democrats Of Virginia in an
approbious sense. Certainly Ten
nessee has never done any act for
which her sons should be held up
to scOrn, contempt or sneers. She
has never repudiated dollar Of her
obligations. She neUer l0iH. Just
so soon as her courts can knock into
smithereensa disgraeeful, but paltry
and baseless obstacle, which few
defamers and demagogues have
thrown in the way, she will march
boldly and proudly up and liqui-
date every dollar of her indebted
ness. No, there is no disgrace in
being from Tennessee. In this in
stance the cause for shame and
sneers is all on her side. She it is
who will hang her head and blush
to think that one of her sons should
have left his native state and Joined,
in the state of his adoption, a party
of agitators and regulators, who
are endeavoring by every means in
their power 10 injure the fail. name
and growth and prosperity of the
proud old commonwealth of Vir-
ginia. No, for heavens sake don't
let the place of his nativity be
known abroad. Tennessee disowns
the maternity, and cannot honor the
man who prostitutes his talents to
injure mis- adopted country. Ma
honeism has few followers in Ten
nessee, and those it has can never
be placed in positions of power and
trust in the gift of her people.

THE holy men of the city of
BrOtherly Love are clamoring for
the removal of the remains of
the late deceased William Penn,
from their resting place in England
to this country. They ought to let
the ashes of the blessed peace-mak-
er alone in their glory, or else some
one will be reviving the unpleas-
ant truth of how he fiiched ever so
many thousand acres OF land from
the untutored savage by presents of
red blankets and quart bottles of
"fire water" The rafting of dead
mems bones oft recall discreditable
"reminiscences.

THE election of Miller and Lap
ham to the senate, in the place of
Conkling and Plat, is the next best
thing to a democratic victory. They
are acknowledged by all to be men
of mediocre ability, and under their
leadership the republican party in
New York will be very greatly
weakened. They can never do the
work for the party that as shrewd,
INSCRIPTIONS and brilliant politi.
cal leader as Conkling, could have
done. They have ousted Conkling
but they have weakened the repub-
lican party and it will lead to dem
ocratic success in the next election.

THE New York World

THE New York World bluntly
says, 1--WE own to a languid curios-
ity to know what erring brother
Key thinks now of Brady and the
Post Office department during the
Hayes administration" 1t would
be right interesting to hear what
the eX-postmaster general has to say
about the Star-route frauds and 9TH
er little discrepancies in that depart
ment of the ex-administration. Per-
haps he can get his brother Schurz,
who is struggling so brilliantly to
defend and bepraise Hayes civil
service reform movements in his
lately purchased paper, the Even
ing Post, to give us a few eXplana-
tory chapters on this department of
that administration. Brady would
doubtless be glad for some one to
come to his support.

and draws together the whole sur

closing of the school is truly refresh

ROBBED ON THE ROAD.
Two Hichwaymen stop Two Farmers and
Compel Them to Shell out.


Yesterday afternoon Mr.. D. Morris and a
young man whose name the reporter failed
to learn, while on their way home from this
city to Denton county, were robbed
by two highwaymen, who forced them al
the point Of pistolto give up all the money
they had. They had came TO Dallas in a
wagon to do some trading and on
their return, when some six miles
out on the Denton road while they were
driving slowly along two masked men
.prang from the bushes out into the road,
and leveling their pistols on
them, commanded them TO halt
and shell out what money
they had. and to use the expression of one
OF the robbers to be ''yery previous about
Il. too" One Of them stood at the head Of
the mules while the other went forward 10
receive the collection which amounted IN
all TO s4l.35, for they contributed with that
alscrity that would induce one under any
other circumstances to believe that they
cured their booty they ordered their vic
Tins 70 drive on and drive fast. or
else they would introduce let of lead into
their bodies. The victims drove rapidly
and the last seen by them OF the robbers
they were returning TO the
brush. They were masked by handker-
chief tied around their fare Just
below the eyes. They were roughly dressed
and wore SLOUGH hats, with their pants in
their boots. Information Of the robbery
was lodged at the Sherif-s Office and the
deputies went out on a scent. These are
no doubt the same parties that robbed
Dickey and DeJarnette on the Preston
road A few DAYS ago.
