Cheap TRANSFORMATION.

The business men of Bowling
Green, KY, are raising cain with
the L. q N. railroad on the subject
of cheap transportation. They
claim that this road is guilty of un-
just determinations against them.
They claim that only forty cents is
charged from Louisville to Ciarks-
vile, while fifty-five cents is charg-
ed to that city for the same kind of
freight. The agent of the road
states that river competition causes
the difference in Ciarksville's favor.
Here's another trumpet-tongued
argument why we should have the
new railroad If the fact that n
very limited and uncertain river
transportation, and that too for on
ly short portion of the year, for
ces the l.. IL n railroad To lower its
rate in our favor even to this small
extent, how much greater reduc-
ton in freights and general trans
portStion might we not reap the
benefit of if we only had another
great railroad connection to the
markets of the North and South 4?
We must aid and aid literally in
securing the contemplated Indiana,
& Texas Railroad. The
benefits that would accrue to Clarks-
vile from the building of this road
are absolutely incalculable, and it
is certainly strange that every capi-
talist and business man here does
not feel far greater interest in it
than many of them seem to do.

Georgia's senior United States
Senator, the silver-tongued orator
of the South, the gifted, brilliant
Benjamin III. Hill, passed quietly
away last Wednesday morning, at
his home in Atlanta, Ga, surround
ed by friends and those ne loved
best.
The manner of his death, the slow
torturing eating away by cancer of
the most eloquent tongue and throat
in America, was indeed sad and
agonizing, but as death was inevi-
table and he had long suffered, there
came feeling of relief to all this
broad land when the news came
that he was at last SAT Home"
On yesterday afternoon, as he was
laid away to rest in the beautiful
cemetery at Atlanta, with such
beautiful and BETTING ceremonies
rs loving hearts and hands could
offer, a Nation mourned his loss
and standing with sorrowing heart
and uncovered head, in spirit,
around his grave, sighed eternal
peace and rest to the ashes of a man
of genius and noble qualities.

The HooefvIcroos.

Although the amount of rain we
have had SC far this season has been
extraordinary, and in some locali-
ties done damage TO the growing
crops, the weather, on the whole,
has been quite favorable, and the
rains in 10 ost instances proved quite
beneficial. We have heard no COM
plants of scarcity of rain from the
country at large, but generally re-
ports of timely and refreshing show
erS keeping the ground just moist
enough for the full growth of vege-
tation. The corn crop is about
made in this and more southern
sections, and it is safe to predict
that it will fully come up to the
very ardent and sanguine prophi-
cies concerning the yield.
There seems to be some anxiety
felt concerning the tobacco crop,
growing out of the fact that, in
some localities, the too frequent
rains have had tendency to french
it and somewhat retard Its growth.
1t may be that on the whole the
outlook is not encouraging, but it is
not too late for it to yet come out;
indeed we hear that it has assumed
more promising appearance the
last few days, and if during the re-
mainder of this month sufficient
but not too profuse rains shall fall,
it is not far wrong to predict that
the crop viii be at least nearly up
to, if not beyond the average.
Take it all in all, there has i'm fact
been very little cause for complaint
about anything this year, a kind
Providence has sent us splendid
weather, general healthful condi-
ton OF the country and fine crops,
and yet we occasionally hear grum-
bling that all is not well.
1t matters not some people, it
seems, were born t. be discontinued
ana dissatisfied and as class we
believe farmers, Notwithstanding
their reputed Independence, happi- !
ness and cOntentment, are entitled |
to be ranked first among these I'M
fortunately constituted mortals.
They are constitutional grumblers,
and gratitude for the bounties of /
nature cannot be said to be preemi-
lent among their many virtues.

Smallpox is spreading to an
alarming degree in Nashville, and
although there may be no imme-
diate danger here, it yet behooves
our citizens to take every known
precaution against it breaking out
here, if not now, probably next
winter.
Vaccination is the best and only
eiFcctual preventative, and every
person, man, woman or child, that
has not recently been vaccinated,
ought To have the operation per-
formed right away and not wait
until the disease comes.
The Nashville Banner says;
DIR. Stephens says this is the first
time Nashville has had smallpox
later than the first of July and un.
less the disease is checked by vac
cinatiOn il will extend into the cold
months, when ii will be almost iIn-
possible to control il until the hot
weather of next Summer, and the
only means to preVent IA spread OF
this disease is by vaccination. He
says there has not been single case
at the peSt-hOuse, or that has come
under his observation, where the
patient was previously vacCinated.
The pertinacity with which it
clings to the towns and cities i'm
this. State during the Summer
20 IsN
lieve that it will be all the more
virulent the coming Winter, and it
ought to be checked and prevented
by vaccination.
The city authorities, with the aid
of the County court are going to
build a permanent pcst-hOuse, in
order to have everything ready in
case of IN emergency.
