Treasurer Folks war on the nuptial
associations has caused considerable
futtering, but we believe it will blow
over without serious trouble. The
attorney general, at Memphis decides
that they are mutual benevolent soci-
ties, and as such are not liable to suit
for penalties. From the Nashville
American we learn that the commit
tee appointed to see Attorney General
Lea in regard to the legality of the
Matrimonial Association did so, and
he has the matter under advisement.
A test case will very probably be made
by the Attorney General of Knox
county in order to get the question le>
gally decided, and until this is settled
the other companies will probably not
be molested. The circular letter was
not exactly authorized by the Attor>
ney General, and was not, it is said,
written by Commissioner Polk, who
was absent from the city.
The following dispatch from Nash>
vile was received by Secretary Stone
this morning: "Attorney General de.

Death of ]. HI. PIaut.

Our people were shocked last Thurs
day by the sad news of the sudden
death of Mr.. j. H. Plaut in st. Louis,
near his home. He had been missing
a day or two, and ugly rumors began
to spread that he had left with the in
tention of defrauding his creditors
But his body was found in a slough
near his residence, and the verdict of
the coroner's jury, we learn, was that
he met his death by accidental drown>
ing, although other reports say that
he committed suicide. Mr.. Plaut was
a member of the firm of Plaut &
Frenz, this city, was member of the
firm of j. H. Plaut& Co, St. Louis,
and also connected with several
other houses in this state and Missou-
ri. Attachment suits had been filed
against him in st. Louis by several
parties. The house here, we learn,
is in healthy financial condition,
owing very little to any one; but, for
fear of future complications, and on
account of the death of thesenior men,
ber, Mr.. Frenz made an assignment
on Thursday evening to Mr.. T. j.
Gordon, for the benefit of the credi.
tors of the firm. Mr.. Frenz has the
implicit confidence of our people and
of all the creditors. and we hope the
business will soon be arranged so that
he can resume. He is one of our liz
vest, best merchants, and the town
and tributary country'cannot afford to
lose him.

Col. VIM. E. Turner, late of the

Wednesday night, and will engage in
the milling business with his father
here.
Bellville Progress, Miss Jennie
Freeman, of Washington City,
daughter of Hon. A. A. Freeman,
and Miss Sallie Cathey, of Milan, are
visiting relatives and friends here.
Mr.. John w. Ramsey, our county
trustee and candidate for reelection,
has been taking in this end of the
county this week. He paid the Ex-
change a visit on Thursday, He is a
good officer, and will run like scared
rabbit.
Mr.. A. T. Mcclure, of the Nash
vile World, dropped in on us yester-
day and made us a welcome visit.
The smiles and eyes of a number Of
our bellies grew brighter at a sight OF
hts handsome mustache. Many
friends welcomed him back to his old
stamping ground.
Miss Lizzie Townes, who taught
music here last session, has been elec,
ted to similar position in the Uni
versity of Arkansas, at Fayetteville,
one of the leading institutions of that
state. She is fully competent to fiji
the position, and we have no doubt
will give satisfaction.
We learn that Prof. P. II. Man,
ming has been offered a professorshiE
in the Montgomery Bell Academy, al
Nashville, and that he will probably
accept it. His friends here hoped
that he would accept the Presidency
of Milan College. The position a
Nashville, we believe, is good one
and the offer of it to him is quite com
plimentary.

Rutherford Courier: Last Friday
shortly after IL o'clock Mr.. Stroud,
the county jailor, carried water to
the prisoners corridor of the Jail, and
on coming out he showed the bolt to
its place in the lock box, and before
making the lock secure his attention
was called for moment to something
else; he left the prison forgetting to
lock the door. Three negroes who
were occupying the corridor at the
same time discovered and took ad-
vantage of the situation, moved the
bolt back and picking a hole through
the brick wall effected their escape.
The escapade was not discovered un-
til late in the evening when it was
with diicultyy that the jailor could
be made to believe that it had occur
red Mr.. Stroud regrets seriously
that this act of carelessness on his
part has been the cause of the prison
ers escaping, bnt takes the blame and
responsibility on himself, and no one
who knows him can doubt the truth
of his statement for a moment. His
well known personal integrity and
sterling qualities place him entirely
above suspicion.
