required to pay S162, 600 per annum
less, on account of interest, than
upon a settlement based upon the
terms recommended by said COM
mittee of arbiters.
To meet the accruing interest
upon the terms Of settlement now
proposed, a tax Of 40 cents on the
hundred dollars worth Of the tax
able property of the State, as ascer-
tanned by the last assessment, alone,
will not only be sufficient but will
raise no inconsiderable surplus. But
it is confidently believed that with
returning prosperity and the conse-
quent enhancement of the value Of
property, and with a Just and equal
assessment thereof the rate Of taxa
ton necessary to meet the accruing
interest on our debt may be largely
reduced, and a fund provided with
out expressing the people for the
eXtinguishment of the principal
long before its maturity.
| will not make an appeal to your
pride as Tennesseans, nor invoke a
display of that high moral courage
which has so often distinguished her
sons, in an effort to redeem the
plighted faith, credit and honor Of
our State-but, in view of our obli-
cations, and the indisputable fact
that every material interest in our
State is suffering, if not surely dying,
because Of our failure to comply
with our contracts, with full faith
and confidence in both the willing
ness and ability Of the people to
comply with the liberal terms of set
tlement now voluntarily proposed
by a large portion Of our creditors,

prompt acceptance thereof Should
this be done, the proud escutcheon
Of our State will no longer bear the
stain Of reputation. She will be
lifted up and placed again upon a
high plane of financial integrity, !
public and private credit will be re
stored, confidence will be inspired, |
and a new life will be infused in |
every department of business, un-
paralleled prosperity will spread its
happy influences throughout all our
borders.
Should you in your wisdom de-
termine to accept the terms Of set
tlement now proposed, l would rec
Ommend that at least a portion Of |
the new bonds to be issued be in
denominations than $1,000, !

COnfding in your wisdom, and,
with a confident belief that you will
act in accordance with your convic-

BLOOD ONA BARBER'S CHAIR.

BLOOD ON 4 BARBER'S CHAIR
A MAN CUTS his OWN THROAT WITH A
RAZOR
Memphis Avalanche.
Yesterday morning a dark COM
pleXioned man of medium height
and well dressed, entered a we'll
known barber-shop to get shaved.
He looked rather nervous, but spoke
quietly and showed no sign of
mental unsoundness. A barber
ghowed him to a chair and began to
shave him. The dark man didn't
seem to like the operation. He
squirmed and twisted, and made
faces of the most hideous kind. At
last he snatched the razor from the
barber's grasp and drew the sharp
edge across his own throat. The
blood spurted out over the chair,
and the barber gave yell and fled
in horror. The other BARRIERS and
the customers sitting around also
made themselves seldom without
ceremony. In a moment the shop
was cleared, and the suicide was
left alone in his gore. A policeman
was sent for, and while the messeger
was gone after him one of the more
courageous of the bystanders re
turned to the door and peeped in.
There sat the suicide cody adjusting
his shirt collar, and looking around
in great indignation at being left
alone in the shop. Not a drop of
blood was to be seen on the chair or
his person. Then a light dawned
upon the boys. They knew now
that he was none other than Herr
mann, the famous juggler, who
had taken the opportunity to show
q specimen of his power privately.

JNo. w. PAULETT:
Dear Sir-Permit me to express
to you my high appreciation of the
New American Readers.
I consider the elementary readers
superior to any / have examined,
because of their simplicity and the
easy gradation from one lesson to
another, as well as from one book to
the next.
The recapitulation which occurs
every few lessons is an admirable
feature. It enables the teacher to
test the knowledge of the pupil in
regard to what he has just passed
over, and the teacher should take
care that the pupil does not pass ov.
er the recapitulation until he is per-
fectly familiar with every word in
it. Respectfully,
Signed, (Mrs.) L. G. FRENCH.

terprise, railroad or no railroad.
NOT EXCITED.
If we are to have a railroad it
will be an enterprise Of necessity,
and that to accomplish the purposes
of a trunk line company. The con-
tributions to this end, by the con-
tiguous counties, would weigh but
little with the great connecting lines
and their companies. Hence our
people are not excited over the COM
ing trains.
NEW CITIZENS.
We have had an occasional addi-
ton to our village population. Sher-
if Hughes and Mr.. Galloway Cole
man have become citizens since my
last letter. The latter moved here
to have the advantages of Tazewell
College. Rev. Mr. Witt, has also
moved to this place for the same
purpose. They are good citizens.
SUBSIDED.
The Western fever" has, in a
measure, subsided. Many see the
West "from afar" and will, more
than probable, thus vision it, and
finally rest beneath the gravel and
turf of old Claiborne.
REVIVAL.
Rev. Jesse Baker, of Messy Creek,
concluded, this week, an interesting
meeting of several days at the Bap-
tist Church. There was a deep in
terest-quite a number of prOfes-
sions of conversion, and additions.
Mr.. Baker is an able and popular
preacher.
A BOOM
For months students have been
crowding into Tazeweu College.
The weather has been unprecedent-

still the attendance has been steadi-

and friends of education never so
hopeful of even still grander results.

Hezekiah Sturges was 81 years
old when he married Miss BelEnap,
at GAINESVILLE, Ohio, and she was 20.
He had $4,000 and she had no
money at all. Before the ceremony,
he insinuatingly asked her to sign a
document allowing her he said, $500
year for pin money; but he did
not explain that by SO doing she re-
linquished all claim on his estate
after his death. She has just dis
covered that fact, after being his
wife ten years and at last becoming
his widow.

With an annual interest charge of
$4,000 it will be some time before
any legislature will have the courage
to levy additional taxation for
sinking fund The legislature
should now makes counter propsi-
ton. A fair and equitable one
would be rs cents on the dollar, and
3 per cent, interest. This would
involve an annual interest charge of

gin to work up sinking fund for
