Since our last few things have
trsnspired worthy of notice in this
locality; but these few might be Of
some interest to the many readers
of the CITIZEN. Mr.. Frank Woods
dwelling house with nearly all of its
contents was consumed by fire on
Friday night last. Rev. w. B.
McQuiddy and his accomplished
lady passed through our village last
week. Walter Brunson of near Pu-
laski was in this vicinity last week.
The recent meeting at Moriah was
a glorious one, resulting in 81 acces
sions to the church. The pr ach @.
ing of Rev. c. n. Wood was very
acceptable to the people and there
was a general awakening through
out the community. The Colum
bia Synod of the G.. z. Church con-
venes at Mt. Moriah on Friday, Oct.
l4th. A short time ago it was Rev.
d. S. Bodenhsmer's pleasure to re-
ceive a new and elegant suit of
clothes as a present from the Mt.
Moriah congregation. He has no
language to express his high appre-
citation of the kindness of this noble,
generous-hearted people. The prin-
cipsl agent in obtaining this sub
stantial gift was Miss Matte john
ston, assisted by Misses Bette Hop
kins, Alice Reed and Eugeris Van
cey. Mr.. BOdenhamer thinks we
have the incest, sweetest group of
young ladies to be found anywhere.
From the depths of his heart there
well up emotions of gratitude unut-
terable. j. Il L.

| The irrepressible conflict that d.
vides the democratic party in Ten
nessee would be speedily and salts
factorily settled il it were not for
the irrepressible leaders. Men on
both sides are trying to make CAPT.
tai out of it for themselves, aid the
spirit of selfshness and demagogy
that is rife is the cause and curse of
ali of it. Ii the people were not
bounded and belabored on all sides
so strenuous'y by these men and
papers that try to find out what is
popular before they know what to
advocate, they would settle their
differences peaceably within the
party. The leaders of the two
wings have cursed each other so
long that they despise each other
and will never agree upon anything.
The only way out now is to kick
these would be leaders overheard
and have no more of them, and then
the honest people who are not slob-
bering with hydrophobia for office
and braying themselves hoarse with
insincere expressions Of party feal-
ty can come together and put the
democratic party upon its heels
again. Brethren, the party in Ten
nessee is in danger. The danger
comes from these demAgogues and
blatants on both sides. Is not the
party Of more consequence THAI any
one or any hundred of these fellows
whose real object is Officer What
shame upon our manhood that we
should longer submit to these fell
lows! Is there not a man or men
in Tennessee who can rise above
selfishness and lead in a reunitlng
of the wings of the party? You
say the factions never can be
brought to agree. That is false. 1t
is these leaders who will not agree.
and they never will, because they
thrive on our discussions and they
wish to keep them up. There is
not much difference between the
solid, honest masses, and if the
demagogues will let them alone and
some honest man of nerve and |
brain will formulate platform that
strikes midway between high tax
and low tax, tn people will
flock to it from both sides, and the
party will be saved, and these mis-
cradle little fomentors of 8 rife will |
be left high and dry to die as the
conceit oozes out of them. The |
factions must compromise. The |
leaders will not consent. Let the
people choose other leaders, send |
them to Nashville in convention,
keep out and kick out these strife
makers, agree upon an intermedi
ate settlement, and thus and thus
only can the debt be settled and the
party redeemed. Otherwise, Ten
nessee is republican state, as Ger
tain as fate.

Prospect.

So much having been said about
the drought and crops, it is useles:
to say more. However, the yield
of cotton will be about one bale pei
five acres and corn not much better
than a third of a crop. To give an
idea of the corn crop will mention
what l heard Esq. Gilbert say. He
and his boys made good corn, but
his tenants none. He said he fur
nished one, Anderson Douglass,
with two good mules and choice
land, and actually issued a search
warrant and searched the fields one
whole day. and brought 10 all told
not exceeding two barrels, and the
largest ear was about the length of
his finger. Some rye has been
sown and wheat sowing will soon
commence in earnest, as a large
acreage will be sown. Crab grass
is fine and some are moving it for
hay, while Others are pulling by
hand. TurnIps are scarce. The
cars killed valuable horse belong
ing to Thos. Browning few nights
back. The gins are in full blast
when the cotton is brought to them.
We will not mention the visitors
to the meeting, which is still in
progress. but will say this: We
organized this year and still have
a good Sunday School. celled the
church, bought an organ, fur
nished chandeliers, paid up all as
sessments against this church, and
are now in the midst .of a glorious
revival, assisted by Revs. Tucker,
Brown, Phelps and last but not
least, by Brother Dan, the great re-
vivsl singer. Several found pardon
for their sins and several joined the
church, still more are at the alter
seeking divine favor. We claim to
be the banner church of the circuit.

The boys have organized q base

the Suckers intend going up to Elk

Bethel boys says if j. Z. Gilbert
had not sold out to the Clippers
they would have changed the re-
suit. From the amount of goods

roads and it is with feeling of
pride that we notice a marked i'm
provement on the old system OF
working roads. Those who were
at first most bitterly opposed to the
road law are now its strongest ad-
vocates. If the law is strictly car
RED out we will have a pike from
Brick Church to Pulaski in the
course of ten years. One OF GU
neighbors has gathered his corn
crop. He made one bus Ell and
three peeks to the acre. Another
will make four barrels per acre.
Why there is such a difference IN
crops on the same soil We can't
see. Maj. VIM. R. Ham, our gen
tlemanly beef-buyer, c1ntempiates
going to New Mexico. John w.
Henry had his eye seriously injured
one day last week. Dr. Nj. F. Har
wood, jr., arrived in our neighbor
hood few days since. He will
probably locate. Turnips are al
most failure in these parts. Sew
eral families contemplate leaving
this section for Texas. They will
find out perhaps when it is too lIle
that Middle Tennessee is the very
garden spot of the world. There
are great many cases OF sore eyes
in the neIghborhood. The pecul
iarity about this disease is that
there is only one eye sore at time.

The Memphis Appeal, in noticing
Gen. Jno. G. Browns removal to st.
Louis, regrets it and says it chad hoped
soon to announce MIR. Browns return to
the state and his re-entry upon public
career, which, when he left for Texas,
was full of the brightest promise"
Politics in Tennessee is too little and
too belittling for such men as John G..
Brown. Demagogy and slobberism are
on top DOW and Gen. Brown is above
such methods. Until the people get
tired OF and drop these sickly politicians
who thrive only on discussions and the
rottenness of the times, there is no hope
for the future of Tennessee politics. Ii
things are ever to be righted these bar
nacles must be scraped off the ships
keel and MEN placed at the helm. Gov.
Brown is the kind OF man we need,
but he would hardly take in such
weeks washing as this.

We have recently had a splendid
revival of religion at the G. P.
church; it was conducted by Rev.
j. F. Walker of Athens, Ala.
The meeting resulted in twenty
eight conversions and thirty acces
sions to the church. Our school is
in a hourishing condition now,
being under the control Of Prof. R.
f. Johnston, a graduate of the
National Normal University, Leba-
non. o. He is a good teacher and
has already aroused quite an in
terest among the patrons, as we'll as
the students of the school. We
hope and believe he will be success
tul in building up first class high
school in our community. Miss
Mollie Alexander of Maury county
is assisting him. She Is quite an
addition to the society of our young
people and we trust we will be for
tunate enough to keep her In the
school for time. Our little friend,
Miss Sophie Ross of Odd Fellows
Hall, is now a student in the school
at this place. She is a charming
little girl and, of course, we give
her hearty welcome. Mr.. A. G.
Thompson's saw mill will be ready
for work in about three or four
weeks. We are truly glad to have
him and his family locate among us,
and we hope he will do a good bust
ness with his mill. Mr.. George r.
Kinney of Columb ia has recently
opened dry goods store in Camp
bellsville. We now have two good
stores and our town seems to be on
rising ground. DR.. r. N. Herbert
has just finished work on his new
residence: it is neat building and
adds very much to the appearance of
our little village. Good rains have
fallen recently, but too late to bene-
fit our crops: but we will not
mention "hard times" E. d. A

Attorney General Corkhill, the
. officer OF the greatest government
IN the world and the man charged
to prosecute the despicable criminal
GuiteRu for the most stupendous
crime our history reveals, said in a
public interview the other day that
he did not consider Guiteau crazier
than any of those people who i'm
agined that God had forgiven their
sins very suddenly. He went even
further in this atrociously disgrace
full talk and slandered his own I'M
Gle, who, he said, was a Methodist
minister, and imagined that his
sins had been swept away in an IN
slant. Such language as this from
such a source is iInpious and an
outrageous SANDER upon millions of
christians who are thus placed up
on a level with Guiteau. Corkhill
should be kicked out of his place
and some decent man substituted.
Men who entertain such ideas
should not have the opportunity OF
rendering them more effective by
the prestige they obtain in being
propagated by one in high authority.
