medal in recognition OF his bravery was
voted by Congress to- his widow, and O

The farmers in this neighbOrhOod
are somewhat behind with their
crops, but few farmers having
planted any corn as yet. They
have shed their wooden clothes,
however, and gone to work in ear
nest.
The wheat in I'll locality looks
very promising at present. Oats
were damaged to some extent by
the late freezes.
There are plenty of tobacco plants
at present ; but the fly has made its
appearance, much to the regret of
the farmers, for they were expect
ing to plant a large crop this year.
l am glad to say that Esquire G.
H. Slaughter has re-Opened the
store lately occupied by Mr.. Sam
Stacker, and 1t is now filled with a
fine line of goods of all kinds. His
stock is new and fresh, and will be
sold at the most reasonable figures.
His old friends and patrons must
not fail to give him a call.

We are able to state authorita-
lively to our readers that the much
discussed question of the location of
the new passenger depot has at last
been officially determined. The
Hon. Chas g. Smith received a let
ter last Wednesday the 9th, from
Col. f. DeFuniak, general mana
ger of the L. d N. r. r. Co., which
contained the following language:
81 have decided on the location
for the new passenger depot, and
the building will be erected on the
ground which was decided to us at
Bradley's brickyard."
This is a splendid location for the
purpose for which it was selected
by the railroad, and we believe will
be agreeable to a majority of our
citizens. The city's growth is cer-
tainly tending Eastward, and in a
few years, ifnotnow, the depot will
be most conveniently located both
for the business interests and the
private citizens of the town. The
approaches to the depot, at this
point, are certainly much better
than we have ever had before, both
for vehicles and pedestrians. There
are three leveI and broad streets
leading directly to it, one of which,
Commerce, terminates right at the
depot, and when macadamized as
it will be, will be one of the thor
o%ughfares of the city. The present
locations of the passenger and
freight depots n~ecessitates the use
of carriages and wagons for the
transportation Of passengers and
freight anyhow, and whats the diff
ference of going a few hundred
yards further, and that too over di-
rect, level roads and sidewalks.
We can see no good grounds forany
opposition to the site which has
been selected.

BROWNSVILLE, Tenn, April 2G, 1881

WE understand that Mr.. Chas. L
Cooke of this city, brought suit last
Wednesday against the Pictel Ice
company, OF New York, for $l3, 900
damages for non-fulfillment of con-
tract. He had their machinery at
this place attached. Mr.. Cooke
contemplated starting an ice factory
here last spring and contracted with
the above company to furnish the
machinery, which was to be set up
and put in good working order by
a certain time. The machinery was
sent here and put up, but proved
an utter failure. Mr.. Cooke has not
abandoned his intention of starting
an ice factory here. He is now ne
g~otiating for a new machine from
the Artic Company of Georgia.

THE OUTLOOK.
A WASHINGTON dispatch saws

A WASHINGTON dispatch says:
a party of Boston gentlemen,
Just arrived from Il tour ia the
Southern states, speak very encour-
agingly of the outlook in that quar-
ter of the country. They represent
that all is peace, with favorable
crop indications. They were as
tOnished at the progress made in
the manufacture of cotton and iron.
They heard less of politics than
usual, which they regarded as Il
very hopeful sign. The sound of
the cotton spindle is more musical
to the cultured BostOnese than Il
disquisitiOn on the Resolutions of
'98. They represent that Nashville
is enjoying a business boom, with
more building than ever, and real
estate stiff. They spent some time
in Chattanooga, and think that it
will eventually be the great city of
the South. They think it will go
ahead of Atlanta and Nashville.
The papers all over the South
speak of visiting parties of North.
ern capitalists, who are on inspect
ing tours seeking fields and oppor-
tunities where they al invest their
capital. The limitless resources of
Tennessee, with her ineXhaustable
mineral wealth and incompatible
advantages for manufacturing en-
terprises for all kinds, cannot fail to
attract their attention, as is shown
by the extract above. Is, then, her
future growth and prosperity,
which is bound to follow upon the
heels OF the settlement of her tinan-
cial troubles, to be clogged and re-
tarded by a petty band of repudia-
tors and demagogues such as those
who threaten to enjoin the funding
of her bonds? We seriously ask
this question of the intelligent peo-
pie of Tennessee; and are justified
i'm answering for them No !
Away with these a~gitators. They
are odious, and n stencil in the
nOstriIs of her citizens.

4 PEW BE- LIS RESuLrs.

The New York World, comment
ing on the trade and general condi-
ton of the business interests of the
country at large, says:
The cOmmendable curse of the
Tennessee senate in passing a fund
ing bill in that state has not only
improved the bonds of Tennessee
but communicated strength TO other
Southern state securities, the hold
ers OF which have taken heart Of
hope from this action of the COM
mOnwealth OF Andrew Jackson.
The indignation of Virginia at the
conduct of Senator Malone has also
had a very beneficial effect. And
enormous if not quite ~unprecedent-
ed business i'm Southern state secu-
rites, and a general buoyancy in
the prices of those securities, have
formed perhaps the leading feature
OF the week in stock exchange
transactions.
This of itself Is a sufficient answer
10 those who have seen no good re-
suits that have flown to Tennessee
and her people from the recent hon
orable settlement of the state debt.
We have but to read the comments
of the press, not only of the North,
hut of the entire country, to see that
the stand which has been bravely
taken by Tennessee for the redemp-
ton and maintenance of her credit
and commercial importance is be-
ginning to have a most salutary eff
feet upon her vast industries and re-
sources. Activity and confidence
have taken the place of inertness,
sloth and dependency. No longer
do misgivings and distrust fill the
minds of business men. Capitalists
stand ready and willing to invest
their money. The smouldering fires
of III iron furnaces, and a thousand
other manufacturing enterprises,
will be kindled anew, and the busy
hum of prosperity will be heard in
the land. This settlement not only
affects Tennessee but the entire
South. Its beneficial effects are
already seen in the bonds aud secu-
rites of other Southern states.
Other states will be induced to fol-
low her grand and patriotic exam
pie. She Will be a criterion and
strengthening incentive to the
proud "Old Dominion" to arouse
and relieve herself of MahOneism
and all its blighting and damning
heresies. This impotent attempt
at renewed agitation by a few
chronic regulators and ~Office-seek-
ers, which is now blatartly spoken
of, will die almost of its own incu-
baton, as it deserves to do, and,
after its short lives titful fever, it
will rest .tOreUer, never to be resur-
rected again.
They cry out ''Oh, the people
the people will never submit to this
iniquity-" We tell them the peo-
pie, the intelligent, thoughtful,
thriving, property-holding, tax
paying masses of the people have
already begun to feel the ameliUra-
ton of the times, and rejoice tnat it
is settled. The influence of our
state will continue to grow and be
felt, and we will have an Opportu-
nifty, as position, resources and
educational advantages all conduce
to, to take a position as the leading
state in civilization and progress in
the South. We see the dawn of a
new and brighter era for Tennessee,
and we hail its coming with glad
acclaim,

ever, its literary efforts have never
scared above a thrilling fiction en-

Its literary efforts will vary after

Trip to ~ClarksViIIe.

OOlAn ASHLAi~hltns
Owing to a lack of space we were
unable to give more than a passing
notice of a very pleasant trip to
GAINESVILLE on Saturday, 10th inst.
In company with twelve members
of Evergreen Lodge K. of p, of
this city, we went over to have the
Wise Mems degree conferred upon
US by Cumberland Lodge. We star
ted for GAINESVILLE in buggies Sat
urday afternoon and arrived there
about 8 o'clock. The crowd was
met at the suburbs of the city by a
committee of reception and escor-
ted to the Franklin House, where
arrangements had been made for
the entertainment of all. Here the
time was occupied in shaking
hands and making acquaintance,
strolling about the city and looking
at objects of interest, after all hands
had partaken of a hearty supper,
till 8 O'Clock, when the delegation
of visiting knights was invited to
the handsome and commodious
lodge room, where we must let the
veil of secreSy fall upon the pro-
ceedings of the next two or three
hours. About eleven O'Clock, the
entire company numbering probab-
ly q hundred, repaired to the din
ing room of the Hotel, and found a
feast of good things in the way of a
generous banquet in waiting for
them. This over we returned to
the Lodge DON where an hour was
spent in speech making and a pleas

tiers pertaining to the order. The
crowd dispersed at a late hour, af-
ter having spent a pleasant and
profitable evening. The Hopkins
vile knights will ever remember
with pleasure the courtesy and
kind attention of the GAINESVILLE
brethren. They seemed to antici-
pate our every want and left I'M
done nothing that could contribute
to our pleasure. All expenses were
paid with a WhOle-souled generosi-
ty that could eXistonly in the bos-
Oms of ''nature's n0blemen." We
left GAINESVILLE with happy recOllec-
tions of the cCurtesies shown US,
and most favorably impressed with
the people of our sister city. The
~ Vi 1LOuSS at OldI hSNIlie nuul-
bers about one hundred members.
We cannot refrain from special al
usiOn to Mr.. j. G. Joseph. He is
the author of the Wise Mems de-
gree and the very life and back
bone of the Lodge. The pleasures
of the evening were due in a large
to Mr.. Joseph. Our com
pany returned to Hopkinsville the
following day.

THE Memphis Appeal which be-
fore the settlement of the state debt
at 1908 was directly opposed to
that measure, now has the good
sense and judgement to regard it as
a finality, and to support it as calcu-
lated to bring peace and prosperity
to the state. In speaking of the
movement set on foot by Savage
and others to enioin the funding
board from di~scharging its duties,
it says
4 repudiating ring in Nashville
have employed a number of able
lawyers for the purpose of enjoining
the funding board from funding the
state debt under the 1908 law, be-
cause of the insufficiency of the cap
ton and the unconstitutionality of
the act. 1t is evident that we are to
have trouble if the courts shall open
the smallest gap for the repudiating
democrats who, for years, have been
trying to disgrace and degrade the
state, and break up the democratic
party.
Clarksville weekly chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1873-1890, 1881-04-30

THE refusal of Mr.. Tom Malone
and other state-credit lawyers of
the state to accept a retainer fee in
professional antagonism to the 1908
settlement shows high-strung and
honorable professional feeling. 1t
is pleasing to see lawyers prove to
the world Ga thing that needs no
proof to u mind) that they are
brave and honorable enough to pre-
fer their states welfare and good to
their own personal enrichment, and
that they place the ethics of the
profession upon a higher plane than
to be one thing as a citizen and an
other as a lawyer. They will be
honored for thus refusing, even pro-
~fessionally, to aid and abet those
who are trying to bring dishonor
and disgrace upon their state.
