The Coming Municipal Election.
We give place in this issue to a
very timely and sensible article
from 'sVox Populi'' on the all-im-
portant aud paramount question Of
who shall be called in the coming
municipal election to preside over
and administer the affairs of our
city government.
There is no subject that could be
brought to the attention of our citi-
zens that is fraught with greater or
more momentus interest to all, and
il is very BETTING that it should
thus be so early discussed in order
thatall may calmly Ind coolly con-
slider the matterand decided in delib-
crate manner in whose hands it will
be best to place their municipal af-
fairs.
After calm thought and mature
deliberatien, we are prepared TO en-,
dorse the suggestions of ''Vox Pop
uli'' and urge the reelection of the
present board, believing thereby
that we will serve the best interests
of the city and voice the sentiments
of large majority of our citizens.
The completed works and actions
of any administration is the only
safeguard and criterion we have
for the future, and we are constrain-
ed 10 believe that no new set of of
ficers could or would do more TO
watch over and protect the best in
terests of our people and to advance
their material prosperity. If these
facts be true, where then is the good
sense or wisdom in desiring a
chunge of government i? Better let
we'll enough alone, and let them go
forward in the completion of the
many works they now have on
hand, and which can but rebound
to the public good.
1t is not necessary to enumerate
the many good works done by our
present Board, partial list of
which our correspondent gives /;
for they are before the public and
are known to all who take the least
interest in our municipal affairs.
Believing the people viii agree
with us that it would rebound to
the lasting benefit of the city if the
past and present wise policy of the
incumbent administration could be
continued, and that no material
change is desired, we say with Voe
PopuLi let the present Board of
Mayorand Aldermen bere-instated
solid. We know that a number of
the Board do not desire a re-elec-
ton and will not seek it, but if the
people demand it they can but

THE NEXT SPEAKER OF THE
House.

In view of the fact that Congress
convenes in regular session on next
Monday week, December 5th, the
all absorbing topic among the polit-
ical clans now gathering in Wash
ingtOn is, who will be the speaker
of the Lower House to succeed Mr..
Randall. 1t is conceded that the
Republicans will have a small ma
.iOrity, and consequently will elect
their man. But who is he, is the
leading question?
Our regular correspondent from
Washington names the candidates as
follows in the order of their suppos-
ed strength: Kasson of Iowa, His
cock of New York, Keifer of Ohio,
Burrows of Michigan and Dunnell
of Minnesota. 1t seems to be gen.
orally conceded that Kasson will be
the successful candidate. Some
weeks ago there was considerable
opposition to him on account of his
alledged free-trade record, but this
has now toned down and most all
of the opposition is now beginning,
TO "bob up serenely" in his behalf.
Our correspondent sends a very
readable and perspicuous letter of
the probable turn of affairs at Wash
ington, on the assembling of Con-
greSs.

has gone south and as result we
are having some beautiful weather
to kill our hogs, but alas! alas !!
they are only shoats and very thin
at that. Not in my history of %
years have / ever known bread
stuff so scarce as it will be for the
ensuing year. Corn will not aver
age over one-fourth of a crop any
where in this section it is selling
unassorted readily at $3.50, in the
field. Positively we will not have
pork to dispose of. We have sown
a large acreage of wheat and should
it, perchance, make yield it will
do to keep buckle and tongue to-
gether, but should it fail fear the
result.
The health of our vicinity, /
think is improving, but we have
had hard struggle with that most
fatal disease termed f1ux that we
have had to wrestle with for long
time. Death, the monster, has
been in company with this disease
flux. Many, many, are falling vic
Tins to this terrible malady. Many
of Us are sad and lonely, tonight,
Notwithstanding we know that our
little babes are shining angels
basking in the sunshine of glory.
We are sad, we miss them, their
voices are no longer heard. On the
7th inst. death robbed us of our only
babe, aged 9 months and L day.
About two days previous to her
death she uttered the words, in
agony, Papa, Mamma repeatedly.
Yes, Viva, Papa and Mamma, are
lonely, but we think of you, your
loving smiles how they linger.
Our dear little babe we are coming too,
But we must wait, His bidding do,
We viii meet you by His grace,
We will greet you face to face,
With our Master ever dwell
Eternal joy no tongue can tell.

WORTHY OF a STATES IMITA-
THON

If there was any inclination on
the part of the Tennessee repudia-
tors TO be honest, we would point
out to them the recent praise-worthy
example of Philadelphia dry
goods house which was forced TO
suspend payment about twenty
years ago. A committee of the
creditors recommended a compro-
mise of seventy-tive cents on the
dollar. This was agreed upon, and
paid, and the house resumed bust
ness. A few days ago, this same
firm sent out a circular to its former
creditors, or their surviving repre-
sentatives, stating that they had
made money and now wanted to
pay off the balance of their old in
debtedness. Is not this honorable
action of few men, who had been
released by their creditors of a just
debt, and then came up i'm after
years and paid it, splendid exam
pie for community Of men, who
have long owed just debt and new
er been released from their obliga-
tions, to make all manly efforts to
settle the same.

Notes from McAiIister's Cross
Roads.


EDITOR OF CHRONICLE Some
farmers are through gathering their
corn. The crop is much shorter
than was anticipated. We will
have no surplus corn, hay or oats.
Wheat looks good and there is more
than an average crop sown. But
few hogs are being fattened for
market, so the pork crop will be
shorter than for many years.
Beef cattle are scarce and there
are but few to fatten. Our staple
crop, tobacco, is very good. There
has been but one agent in this Sec
ton, he was only prospecting,
though he is too clever to estimate
the crop more than it really is in
order to get it for less than it is
worth.
Flux is still prevalent, there have
been at least forty deaths in this
the 10th district, and the northern
portion of Dickson county.
Mr.. Thos. Rogers and his two
daughters, Misses Lizzie and Lou,
came from Cave Mills a few days
since and says while passing house
on Bear Creek, they heard little
children crying and, on inquiry,
found that their father had the fiux
and was fast sinking to the regions
of an unknown world. May those
little children be blessed by the all
wise Creator.
Mr.. Rogers says pork is worth
ten cents ON Yellow Creek, and is
very scarce.
We have a spelling match and
reading and debating club at Mt.
Zion every Saturday. night, prayer
meeting every Sunday night, Our
new pastor will preach there Sunday
the 9th inst. Everybody is anx-
ious to see him and think he will
please everybody.
Miss Cora Minor, from Organs
Cross Roads has written word that
she is coming up to her brother
Stephens. She is a sweet girl and
the boys and girls here will well

mondsOn and Miss Lucie Richard
son, three fascinating young ladies
from the Bend have been visiting

their stay with Miss Fannie they
visited this place. Your correspon-
dent was much pleased to see them.
Wish they had come day or two
sooner and had their fortunes told
by party of Gypsies who had been

They moved from here to Cumbar-
land Furnace. Their occupation
seemed to be hunting, fishing, tel
ling fortunes and trading horses.

When I saw you last, Mr.. Editor,
you said write, and very many
friends said write. This is nearly
the first leisure that has presented
itself and l occupy it.
Our trip here was safe and speedy.
A week ago Geo. Lowe and Hatton
Mills placed our freight on their
wagons and we started to the depot
at GAINESVILLE. Reaching the seven
mile ferry we deserted the smoke
of the Drouillard down the river
and the family, back in the dis
lance, was hurried up. Lewis
Wyatt made haste to expedite their
exodus from the two neighbours
houses, where they had stopped TO
take leave, and in twenty minutes
we were on BOARD the new steamer
and padding towards Nashville,
which place we reached at 10 P. NJ.
We had splendid trip and never
saw kinder officers than Capt.
Gracey and his staff. BY daylight
next morning / was on the streets
looking up conveyances for family
and freight, and after a good but
hasty breakfast we were on the
Murfreesboro train, and in this par
sonage to dinner. This is hard to
beat for speed and good luck. We
have very vivid recollection of
the bevy of young ladies who ran
down the levee from Richardson's
and Wyatt's to see US off, and most
hasty was our leave taking. Their
faces needed no artificial coloring
that crisp morning.
Our friends here had prepared to
give cordial reception, but we
came in some hours before they
were looking for US, and they
showed genuine disappointment.
However, the larder was replenish-
ed by their kindness and we feel at
home. We are greatly pleased with
onr new home. The little village
in which we live has three stores, a
church, a postoffice, an academy
and several dwellings, all located on
the pike five miles from Murfrees-
boro. Our address is Overall's,

its alliance with Malone and repu-

demand that these same journals
