Last Tuesday evening uncle Johny
Martin died, aged 102. He in all
probability was the oldest person in
the county and was always remark
ably hale. He married some six or
eight years ago the second time
He leaves a long list of defendants.
Esq. j. NJ. Farmer was considered
dangerously sick with bilious chills
last week, but is now much better.
e. Mrs. DR.. Walker, who has just re-
turned from Texas in such fine
health, was attacked with chills in a
few days, but is now able again to
be out. There is a new daughter at
DIR. Fry's. 1 have always heard
that doctors daughters were pretty.
The doctor may fix up for wonder
full amount of counting at his house
after awhile....Our worthy young
friend James Garrett is on a visit at
home. He has been telegraphing
since he was quite boy and for six
years he has been away at various
cities, and we learn, with pleasure,
that he has made splendid character
as a first class operator. For the
past year or so he has been at New
Orleans and Bay st. Louis. Mrs.
Albert Shields and little daughter
of Columbia are visiting her father,
Col. A. II. Higdon, and family.
David Compton, we learn, contem.
plates removing TO Campbells Sta
ton to set up a blacksmith shop
there. He is a good clever fellow
and is needed here and we dislike to
give him up. Tom Fry, with whom
he has worked, thinks he can give
him abundant work, as well as en-
ploy and furnish a shop for a wagon
maker, for which he says he could
offer a good location. DR.. Wayne
Norris and lady, nee Miss Hettie
Fry, are visiting the latter's father,
Mr.. Jesse Fry. The doctor carries
the brains and physic to cure the
ills of the good people of Clifton,
We hear that it is contemplated
that he and our young and enter
prising friend Frank Fry will go in
to the drug cuisines at Clifton.
Mrs. Beatty was called to Nashville
Saturday by the serious illness of a
little child of her son Ephram...
Mrs. Ben. Pinkston of Cross Bridge,

tai religion in o. F. hall at this
place on the 9th inst. He leaves
this week for conference, having
done a faithful years work on the
Giles circuit, resulting in ITO con-
versions and SO accessions. We
are glad to know he did not neglect
the Sunday school interest and
surely he has an aptitude for that
work, as the number of Sunday
schools organized, or revived, by
him will show....F. r. Kellum was

The republican convention in New
York " ednesday was alarmingly har-
monious. The half-breeds carried
everything their way without protest
and no i'll feeling was visible anywhere.
1t is remarkable and augurs well for
Arthur's administration. Although 1t
is q victory of the opposition, yet it was
done so quietly that the probability that
the factions will reunite is apparent.
1t may be calm forced by recent &C.
currences that will break out in a storm
yet. No peace can be maintained in
the empire state that has Conkling bur-
led under it. If it is a perpetual peace,
it is bad for democracy. One OF the
greatest results of the late series of
events has been to subordinate parties
and policies to greater love for peace
and good feeling. The remarkable out
come in New York was a victory for
this sentiment. When the times grow
older and mems memories are dimmed,
the old sntagonisms will arise. Conk-
liDg's wrath only sleeps. He bides his
time. he tarries in Jericho only until
his beard be grown again.

If Garfield had lived Blaine never
would have recovered from the Chicago
Waterloo to his presidential aspirations.
To-day, however, he stands In Garfield's
boots. How certainly Garfield would
have succeeded himself Who can
more certainly gather up the threads
snapped asunder at Elberon and weave
out the policies so auspiciously inaugu-
rated by the late administration Blaine
represents the Garfield idea, and in him
it will be perpetuated in "a. His ire
proachable conduct-naY, magnificent
during the weary eighty days, his
fealty and zeal to the policies OF his
chief, and then his busy working up Of
his own interests in New England since
the death, all not only prove his title to
the succession, but that he knows 1t and
is grasping it. He will go out of the
cabinet possibly this week In halo OF
good will and peace, and his party that
carried New York by storm Wednes-
day will take him up as the embodiment
of the Garfield idea and carry him to the
White House. At least, this is a pretty
way TO look at it.

The Review and Journal is mistaken
when it asserts that DR.. LeftWich COM
pared Garfield with Andrew Jackson.
He did not do so. viii the Review and
Journal withdraw its unjust structures 7
The expression "To the victor belong
the spoils' is generally credited to Jack
son, perhaps inaccurately. DR.. Left
wich's language was high tribute to
the old hero, who, he said, little
dreamed that the idea embodied in his
expression would lead to such abuses.
If this is q comparison between Jack
son and Garfield, surely Jackson's is the
enviable position. No straining can
justify the construction Of the r.
and j., but If it still conceives such a
construction admissible, we hope it
will take this as special denial and
do the gentleman the justice Of q
withdrawal OF its severe criticisms.
The writer reported the sermon and in
sists upon this correction solely of him
self. If the language can admit Of any
such comparison, it is our fault. DR..
Leftwich never said so and never in
tended to say SO.

Thomas f. BayaTd OF Delaware was
chosen president OF the U. S. senate
M0nday. He is a grand type of Amer
lean manhood, great in all things that
go to make up typical American lead
or. IL President Arthur should be re-
moved, Mr.. Bayard by virtue of his Of
fee would succeed TO the presidency
This was the only reason even appar-
emily tenable that republicans urged
against electing a democrat-that it
would be bid to some crank to assassi-
nate Arthur To make democratic pres
ident. Has it come To the point that we
must shape our actions and policies to
suit murderers and law-breakersS No
matter how imminent such a result
might be, il would be fatal to give way
TO It one time. IL was never intended
that any department of our government
nor any OF its policies should be mould
ed 70 meet such possibilities, but that
every act should be consummated solely
upon principles of right. The demo-
Gratis are in the majority, by no act Of
theirs, and il is right and proper that
they should elect democrat TO the
highest office In their power, and in such
action they will be sustained by reason,
principle and party, and If any unfore-
seen misfortune should occur that is not
directly induced by their action, it must
be dealt with eX.raneously and its oc-
currence In no wis dates back in effect. |

ThoH. e. Sanata.


The U. S. Senate convened In Wash
ington at IL o'clock Monday in called
session. The presidents message SIM
ply called attention to the proclamation
converting the senate. Senator Harris
called the senate to order and Senstor
Pendleton at once offered q resolution
declaring Senator Bayard the president
of the senate. Senator Edmunds moved
that the credentials of the new senators
be read and they be sworn in at once by
Senator Anthony, he being the senior
senator, and they be allowed to partici-
pate in the further organization. A
motion to table this resulted in SO ayes
to 81 noes. Senator Malone was not in
his seat. Senator Davis of Illinois voted
with the republicans, in compliance
with his custom to preserve the existing
status. His reason is that the republic
cans having had the Ascendency should
not be ousted by his vote. AS soon as
the democrats elect the president the
same reasons will impel him to vote with
the democrats If the republicans attempt
to carry out their threat to elect another
president as soon as the new senators
are admitted.

Once more 1 trim my Faber to
furnish you with the items that may
transpire among US. Thus / begin
to itemize: The farmers are very
busy gathering their crops. The
early planting Of corn will average
about barrels per acre. Cotton
will make from 400 to 700 lbs. pei
acre. Wheat sowing has com
menced. The acreage will be con
siderably increased over. that of last
year. Seed wheat is very scarce,
and worth from $1.60 to $500 per
bushel.. The army worm is making
havoc ofthe cotton fields. Many of
the farmers are selling their surplus
live stock in order to save the win
tering of them. Esq. Sam Mason
made something over 1000 gallons
of sorghum this season. Willis
Morley, esq, is having his dwelling
repaired and is also building huge
barn. IAN infant child of Jas. Holt
died and was buried in the Pisgah
cemetery Sunday last. We extend
our heartfelt sympathy to the be
reaved parents...A daughter of Jas.
Lanier is confined to her room with
a dropsical affection. Joe McNeece
strained his arm a few days since
SO that he can not use it,. Matthew
McGaugh is sorely afflicted with a
lame back....R. II. Brunson was
quite sick with fiux, but we are glad
TO learn thst he is BETTER. Mrs. B.

1t is rather strange that a circus could
take four thousand dollars out of Giles
county if times are 80 hard that the
people of that county would rather have
their taxes doubled in another year by
short-sighted postpOnement this year
than to meet them now. Four thousand
dollars would go long way toward
paying taxes. Far from . diminution
of circus receipts they have been above
the average this season in all counties.
We believe very strongly in the enjoy
of amusement by the people. The re-
Taxation is beneficial; but the two
amusements of growing about hard
times and taxes, and paying large sums
for circuses, do not go very well to-
gether.-American.
Who said the people OF Giles county
were growing about hard times
and taxes? 1t is a matter of history
that Giles county's tax collector is
about the first to settle with the state,
because her people are prompt. They
are behind now, and SO is every body
else. If the American has money bet
that Giles wants the taxes postponed, it
had better hedge.

The Nashville American is credit to
the south and an honor to the nowspa-
per world. 1t is unexcelled in the
south as reliable newspaper. Tennes-
see should be proud that 1t has the best
newspaper in the south. Sometimes it
differs with its country contemporaries
upon local topics, but in advocating its
opinions The American has the merit
of consistency and sense, to say the
least of it. These minor topics are lost
sight Of in contemplating the great
credit reflected upon Tennessee by this
enterprising journal, and the great good
work done for Tennessee and the south
through its columns. We are proud OF
the American, although we sometimes
differ widely with it, and we are glad
to say here that it has actually beat its
way into our esteem by the sheer force
of excessive merit.
