Sad Accident.

Last Sunday afternoon Mr. James
Vanzandt, son Of Isaac Vanzandt, ST.,
who lives about one mile north of Sa-
lem, in this county, killed himself unin-
tentionally. 1t appears that several
friends Of the family had called and had
left sltting-room to 60 into the parlor,
leaving behind the deceased and his sis
ter, Miss Mollie, who is his senior. A
Deringer pistol was upon the mantle,
and Jimmie took it up and, after snap
ping it number of times, said it was Of
no account. His sister, who was read
ing, urged him not to "fool with it,
but Jimmie, casting himself upon a
divan, said there was no use to be
afraid Of it, and, placing it to his tenn
pie, snapped it, when it was discharged.
Jimmie died in few seconds, never
even speaking word.

State of Tennessee, in behalf of the
nearly three hundred bOndholdcrs re-
siding in the United States and Europe,
whom they represent, and in their own

Tennessee, respectfully propose, andask
you to recommend, that the General
Assembly now in session enact a law to
compromise and settle the bond obliga-
tions of the State as follows:
The bonds and interest coupons
thereof, up to and including the one due
July /, 1881, to be capitalized and new

Athena.

From the Athens Tenn Post, 10th inst.
County Court met Monday on time,
Judge llutseIl presiding. No business
of large Importance TRANSFERRED. There
was big crowd on hand, and the day
was characterized by the usual amount
of norso-swapping, whisky-drinking,
cursing and swearing, and i'll the latter
part of the evening fight or two.
Two years ago the Tennessee Lrgls'a-
ture, at the instance Of some Of the cili-
zens Of Athens, repealed the municipal
charter. Since that time the streets OF
the town and the sidewalks, which were
then in excellent condition, have been
neglected, until now some Of them are
impassable in bad weather and daily
growing worse. The Cemetery, which
was under the special care Of the Cor
poration, has been neglected, aud We
are informed by gentleman VINO lives
in the immediate ncigHborhood NJ 1t,
that more than q half dozen times during
the winter cattle and hogs have ranged
at will within the enclosure. The al
legged motive for the repeal Of the mU-
nicipal charter was, to ge! the benefit OF
the foUr-mle law, and break up the IL
ccnsed groceries. II that was the real
motive, all VIC haze to say about it is,
that tie experiment has proved Il most
miserable failure. And when We FAY
that there il more whi.ky-GriuE!ng il
Athens now, more obscene and pr9lane
language heard on public days, more
pistol-shootiug and yelling about the
streets at night, more violations Of law
and order, than at any time since we
have resided in the place, We simply
state what every citizen Of the town
knows and what no one Of them will IN
dertake to deny.
1t is not pleasant for US to mention
these things, but We are telling the
Gods truth, and we tell it because it
ought to be told. We opposed the re-
peal Of the municipal charter and made
trip to Nashville at our own expense
to prevent it, because we had 4 pretty
clear idea of what would be the result,
and We regret to have to say that our
worst approximations have been more
than realized. We shall lccur to the
subject, and will only add now that real
estate at this place has been deprecia-
ting in value for the last two years, and
we are confident it will continue to de-
preciate until different state Of things
is inauguratcd.

TO The LADIES !
Mrs. NJ. e. DAYS & Sister
MILLINERY GOODS,

We publish this week the letter Of a
Committee of the holders Of Tennessee
bonds. We observe in the American
the names of 100 bondholdcrs whoagree
to what this Committee say. Gov.
Hawkins will approve and recommend
the acceptance Of their proposition,
which is, virtually, so and 6, but better
for the State, inasmuch as We only pay
3 per cent. interest, and it is left OPP
tionary with us as to the principal,
whether we pay at the end Of five, or,
nincty-ninc years, We hope the Legis-
laturc will accept the terms offered and
then we can hold up our heads and say
We have not scaled our debt Il particle,
but have secured low rate Of interest
with plenty of time in which to pa the
principal.
1t was a great mistake, in our belief,
that we did not settle the debt at 50and
4, as vas recommended by the ablcat
men in Tennessee

Next Monday week Circuit Court
will commence. At this session the
Poes will be tried, and, while We be-
leve there will be much interest mani
tested as to the result, we believe there
will be no unlawful action. Nor should
there be. Our people should be more
careful than ever to guard against any
such manifestation, for they have been
unjustly suspected and reported hereto
fore. Let US all stand by our officers Of
the law, and our lawyers, in an effort to
maintain the law. Let us be quick and
careful to preserve the greatest boon to
all humanity-that right extortcd by
the grand old Barons from King John
the right Of trial by jury.

Gov. Hawkins, in message to the
Legislature last Monday, recommended
that the plan Of settlement submitted by
the bondholders be accepted. The
American says the message is straight
forward document, clean and direct in
all its details, and adds: "Should no
settlement be effected on this or some
other basis, at the present session, the
responsibility therefor can hardly be
laid at the Governors door"
