tEEiIPHIS APPEAL
THURSDAY, MARCH Q, 1889
THE SILVER DOLLAR.

The Chattanooga Times, in a not very good
tempered article, wants the APPEAL, which
it accuses of childishness, impertinence, and
80 on, to inform it why there is more silver
dollars than gold in circulation. The an
swer is obvious enough, but we shall not oc-
cupy space in unnecessary explanation. The
real question, Of course, is why the "dollars
OF our fathers" which il was declared the
people were painting and yearuing for, are
lying unused in the vaults of the treasury,
or are represented by paper certificates. A
people painting for dollar Jumps of silver do
not let themselves be put off with paper
apologies for their absence. This, and not
questions about the quantity OF the millions
coined is in circulation. is the peculiar
phenomenon that fnancialists find requiring
attention. The Times remarks that ''the at
tempt to sneak the silver option away from
the people on the eve of resumption
and force them TO resume on one metal
inflated in price by our abandonment OF
the double standard, was partly an ex-
hibition Of Ignorance on the part of our
Legislators and partly fragrant dishonesty"
This is a question involving the comparative
values of the monometallic and bimetallic
systems, and it is unaffected by the refusal
OF the American people to carry in their
pockets the Jumps Of silver that are stored
monthly in extensively constructed vaults
until they are overlooking, and new S75, 900
vault is required to store up still more. The
Times does not like to be told Of these vaults,
nor of the refusal of the European CONNER
cial nations to discuss the silver-standard
problem any further, but they are among
the symptoms that reveal where the trouble
lies. In conclusion, the Times must excuse
us when we say that, after presenting what
to us appears cogent arguments in respectful
and courteous language, for the Times, either
from inability or indisposition to answer
them, terms them impertinent, and trash,
and the results of ignorance, it forgets that
excellent rule which prescribes that, in dis
CUSTOM we should 'use soft words and hard
arguments"

any cruelty to a mule, but have no compass

EDITOR CHRONICLE:-They still
marry on the Southside and it still
continues to rain. This morning,
March 5th, in company with John
Prewett, we left the parsonage on a
wedding tour, and it just rained
right down and you are ready to
say that we got wet. l can assure
you, for myself, L did not, because I
had on my gum suit, (thanks to the
man that invented such clOthing),
and John had an umbrella and a
Splinter fire'' new hat, and the
hat was kept dry. 1t suits him
well, it's a fashionable hat ndsuitsa
wedding occasion well. We reach
ed Bro. Hargrove's at ten and
found nice crowd of young and
old people waiting to witness the
marriage of Mr.. John T. Bumpus
and Miss Nora Hargrove. Soon
they walked out and were joined
together in holy wedlock. Well
may John be proud of such jewel
of woman as Nora. She is all that
husband could wish. Everybody
speaks well of her.
/ don't know that marrying has
anything to do with the rains on
the Southside, if it does, 1 want
them to continue on during the
spring and summer. ! have aver
aged marriage every two weeks
since have been on the Southside,
and with one exception it has rain
ed every time / have married a
couple. So if the weddings bring
the rains, we will want the rains
about every two weeks through the
spring and summer, so let them
marry and let it rain.
After the marriage, John Prewett
and myself went to Martha's Chap
ell, it being my regular preaching
day, and found good crowd, had
good singing, tolerable preaching,
and fine praying by Bro. Lowe.
Then at three we preached at Sa-
lem to a good crowd, and the best
singing in this country is found at
Salem. May their harps never be
hung upon the willows.
Our farmers are darkening the
heavens with the smoke rising
from the plant beds, and the cry of
haw, gee and get up there is heard
in every direction.
The few pretty days last week
made the women walk and talk
about gardening, and the hens
scratch and.
May Bro. Cullom never suffer the
"bit" to be broken in his mouth.
hope that wearied arm is rested.
l am glad that Bro. Putnam is con-
valescing, and if he will come over

River NJ eWS.

1t seems as if the flood-gates Of
heaven were turned loose last Wed.
nesday afternoon and night, and the
rain descended in increasing tor
rents. About noon, Thursday iii
ceased, and the weather turned clear
and cooler. AS a consequence OF
the unprecedented rain fall, which
is supposed to be very heavy above
US, the Cumberland has again risen
until it now fills its banks. and in
many places has overfiowed and
flooded the bottoms. 1t rose about
three feet Thursday night, and yes
terday was still slowly rising. 1t
looks very much as if the January
overflow is to be repeated.
River, or Front street, is again
under water, and the Gracey wharf
boat is backed zap against the Cen
trail Warehouse.
The bottoms opposite the city are
nearly entirely submerged.
Large quantities of lumber and
drift-wOod are floating down the
river. -
We learn that the water is again
over the pixies at the lower Red
river bridge leading to New Prov
idence.
The steamboats, are still running
as usual.

Reports from the overflow of the
Mississippi, Red and Arkansas
rivers, upto the middle of the week,
continue to be of the most frightful
and narrowing nature. The de-
struction of life and property is
truly appalling and the cry for help
for the destitntepeople and starving
stock continues to come from the
Inundated country. The floods are
reported as having broken over
leyees and opened crevasses never
before known to give way. The
rushing of the waters through the
breaks is said to make a fearful
noise and to carry terror to the
hearts of the fleeing people. Re-
ports state that the Arkansas river
broke over the levee at Red Fork
and flooded the entire country far
below Arkansas City. Railroad
communication in almost every di-
rection had been cut offand death and
destruction, starvation and want was
hourly staring the people in the
face. In many places the loss of
life by drowning is reported.
After the waters recede there will
necessarily be great distress among
the negroes and poorer classes.
There is no estimating as yet what
the damage will be, but it is known
that terrible hardships will have to
be undergone consequent upon the
loss of provisions and stock, and in
many cases the people are utterly
destitute. For miles and miles on
both sides of the Mississippi and
the other rivers, the country is laid
waste, and it will be many weeks
before the planters can repair their
fences and prepare their plantations
for crops. The government Off
cials have been busy in perfecting
plans for the distribution of subsist-
ence stores authorized by Congress
to be issued to those made destitute.
From the data furnished, Secretary
Lincoln thinks four times the sum
granted could be expended without
meeting the actual needs of the peo-
pie. In view of the widespread
distress, it is intended by the dele
cations from the States affected, to
ask Congress for an additional APP
for relief, and also to
furnish the poor with seed corn for
the coming spring planting. 1t is
that all the corn re- |
served for that purpose in the
districts has been destroyed
and unless it can be promptly re-
placed the suffering of the present |
will be turned into absolute famine |
during the year. The citizens of
Memphis and other larger cities are
doing much to relieve the great dis
tress.

Pretty ana Usef.ar

Mr.. Philip T. Millett, the gentle
manly express agent Of this city,
has bought the right Of sale for this
county, of Kinney's Patent Tubular
Fountain Fence and Underground
Reservoir for cemetery lots and
graves. This invention is nothing
more than an iron fence or enclOs-
ure for cemetery lots or graves. 1t
is made of tubular iron pipes,
which when placed above the
ground act as a fence for the lot or
grave. the hollow pipes are kept
filed with water; to the top of
these vases are attached, in which
flowers, plants or vines may be
placed, which are constantly sup
piled with the necessary moisture,
caused by the evaporation of the
water through the vases. In this
way, plants set out in the vases
grow luxuriantly for months with
out further attention. If no fence
Is desired, the tubes may be placed
under ground and supply the plants
in the vases with water and moist
ure all the same. 1t Is hard to in
diligently describe this unique and
cheap invention for identifying the
homes of the dead, and we would
ask you to call on Mr.. Millett and
let him explain its adaptability and
usefulness. He will take pleasure
in showing it to the public. He
has the sole right for this county.
