The Rise and Fall of the Confeder-
ate Government, by Ex-President JEFF
ferson Davis, is now being sold by SUBJ
scription in Warren county by our
active and energetic friend, Sam. F.
Pennebaker, agent.
As predicted long before its appear
ance in public, this is emphatically the
book of the war. Aside from Mr..
Davis intimate connection with the
causes and conduct of the war, no man
of his day was better qualified to per-
form this high and sacred duty to the
past, present and future generations
than he. A scholar by training and
practice, a soldier by profession, pa
trlot by nature, a statesman by expe.
rience, and a writer without rival in
the field he has chosen, he could not
have done otherwise in the course of
human events than produce book gu !.
perior to all its competitors on that
subject, And such is the result. Mr..
Davis is not only a scholar in his
sphere, a soldier, patriot, a states
man and writer, but he has acted the
philosopher in delaying his work till the
passions and prejudices of the hour had
subsidized. This fact, together with his
peculiar and eminent qualifications for
such task designates him as the man
for the work, and guarantees the work
as adequate to the undertaking, which
was to present the causes, the conduct,
and the result Of the war, and vindi-
cate the honor and integrity of those
who espoused the cause and either fell
in the conflict or lost the prize. 1t will
be standard history of the rebellion
for all time, and no man who wishes
the truth from both sides, can afford to
leave it out of his library.

A Pleasant summer Resort.

AS it is ours to know what is going
on, and especially in Warren county,
we called in on our return home to take
in the situation at Crisp's Red Sulphur
Springs, six miles west of McMinn-
vile, and believing that experience is
the best teacher, we spent Tuesday
night at the new hotel at that place
and found its gentlemanly proprietor,
Mr.. W. L. Lillard, in high spirits
about the future of his laudable enter
prise, and DR.. Ransom viewing with
complacent satisfaction the results al
ready achieved, and very active and
hopeful with regard to the success of
his we'll meant efforts to establish this
as a pleasant and delightful summer
resort. Though too early for the sum-
mering season, yet already quite num-
Der of visitors had arrived and were
making the premises lively and inter-
esting by their presence. The sound
of the hammer is brisk in making
room for all who may apply. And we
can assure our city friends who at some
times and places have just grounds to
be fastldious about hotel milk, butter
and vegetables, that they will get what
they call for under these heads fresh
and pure, for Mr.. Lillard has knocked
out "the middle man" that the Grang-
ers have so long been shooting at, by
dealing directly with the producers Of
these articles.
We hope these gentlemen will realize
their fondest anticipations in establish
ing Crisp's Springs as place of resort
for both health and pleasure seekers,
and that the people of Warren county
will give them that encouragement
which their enterprise so justly claims
at their hands.

On many countenances we see traces
Of time, or dissipation, or evil thought,
which are not unintelligible hieroglyph-
les, but unmistakable language on a
fair page, from which we may learn
lessons of wisdom and truth. The
beauty of the face is often married by
sallowness, the usual accompaniment
of a disordered liver, which can be

Middle Tennessee y. 3. AssOeIa-
ton.

DR.. Dewitt, President of Middle
Tennessee S. S. Association, desires it
made known that the 18th meeting of
this institution will be held at McMinn-
vile, Tenn, July 81, 1881, and that
all accredited delegates will be cordi-
ally entertained. The basis of repre-
sentation will be one delegate for every
four thousand people and one for every
fraction of two thousand and more
in counties having county associations,
otherwise one delegate for every school
of thirty or more members.
The programme is nearly ready for
the printer, and bristles with points
and power to use them.
All counties within the association
are urgently requested to send dele
gates with assurances that they will be
welcomed. .

What's the Matter.

What's the Matter.
Do the people of McMinnville real
ize the necessity of prompt steps to
make this place summer resort? Do
they fully appreciate the amount of
ready money success in this direction
would yearly scatter amongst them of
which they will never see a dollar I'M
less this is secured a? That many of
them do, we know. We heard one of
the largest property owners, who is
thoroughly posted, say: "The tax
payers of town want a well bored in
the square and are willing to pay for
it," and we believe this to be true.
Then aChats the matter? If those whose
property is taxed to pay for it want a
we'll bored, why are not steps taken by
the authorities to have it done? Min
eral water can be gotten if a well is sunk
deep enough. There is next to no
risk on that point anywhere in this
whole region-the interior of the earth
here and hereabouts is full of it, and
compared to its value when done, the
cost Of boring to get it is a mere baga-
telle. 1t will repay its cost in a single
season, and will, year after year, as
time rocks on, increase the amount of
that compensation. No other invest
'aent of the same amount of money
wbaI,sp pay the town as largely. Then

The Bottom.

We live in the very midst Of what
meteorologists call "the calm belt" a re-
gion free from the extremes of hot and
cold, wet and dry, stagnant air and ter
riic wind storms. Any one of these
extremes is so rare that with her eleva.
ton above the sea level, her light and
invigorating atmosphere, her natural
drainage and comparative exemption
from miasmatic poison, McMinnville
should be able, on the face of such
facts, to boast that she is the most
healthy town in this or any other State.
Naturally she is entitled to this high
claim, and with but slight attention on
the part of our municipal authorities
to we'll known principles of sanitation
she soon will be widely known as justly
entitled to this enviahle distinction.
We have great respect for the good in
tons of our worthy mayor and alder
men and therefore call their attention
to the condition of the bottom in which
the depot and engine house are located,
also the pond back of the depot,
that they may take steps to prevent its
becoming before long hot-bed for dis
ease. This bottom is simply dimple
in the surface with a high rim dotted
with tenements and other buildings,
with an interior watershed which with
every rainfall carries into it the wash
ings from a number of streets, stables,
back yards and wliat-not In plain
English, that bottom ia the receptacle
for a very large amount of worst dis
ease-breeding filth of the town, which
is there planted and there must remain
until the proper drainage is applied.
Holy Writ tells us, "What man
soweth that he shall reap" and sure as
the unchanging law of cause and effect il
the matter is not corrected we will have
an outbreak of typhus or some other
terrible pestilence, the just punishment
of negligence and follyl
Fortunately, Mr.. Robert Stiles pro-
