The Gallatin Examiner, before quo
ting from our editorial in regard to the
platform and the nominee Of the Demo
cratic party, says: ave didn't believe
that our esteemed friend, Slater, of the
Winchester Home Journal, knew how
to eat dirt so we'll"
To be candid with our friend, Col.
Boyers, of the Examiner, we must a.
sert that if our support Of Gen. Bate
and disapproval Of the platform appears
like eating dirt, it is because the Demo
cratic party in Tennessee has been gull
ty of setting US the example for sevsra
years past, 80 far as the State Debt ii
concerned. We prefer to eat a little
dirt in the Democratic party to eating
something more loathsOmo In the Re
publican party, which, when it had
power years ago, would not allow US tc
cat anything. The very man who is
now its candidate for Governor, sane.
tions the laws which denied us the priv.
ilege of a say-so in political matters at
all.
No, we do not like the platform, but
it presents the best and only alternative
to avoid future dissension and defeat,
and if the platform suited US in all res
poets it could not be headed by man
more worthy than Gen. VIM. B. Bate,
and we cannot see any peculiar glory in
that hypercritical political conscien-
tiousness which would prevent any
Democrat from giving his vote to him.
1t is in keeping with Gen. Bates whole
life to battle in politics for the success
Of the Democratic party as he has ever
done for his country amid the clash of
arms on the battlefield. His great
heart has never been souredby defeat or
disappointment, and he has done more
gratuitous work for his party than any
man in it. Yes, we are for Bate, plat
form or no platform, as DR.. White once
said, albeit White has since joined the
boilers.

We have very little fear that the edi
tor Of the Nashville Banner will ever b.
hung. He is too quick to discover some
expedient, by which to cheat the hang
mans moose. Guiteau was dull in com.
parison. Gulteau did not want to be
hung. All means we're used to proven,
him from suiciding. His sister, Mrs.
scoville, sent him n large boquet, but
Guiteau was not permitted to have it.
1t was thought that the flowers had
been saturated with some deadly fluid
wherewith and whereby he might cheat
the hangman. But his sister was al.
lowed to kiss him at pleasure. This,
the editor of the Banner thinks, was
Guiteau's golden opportunity to have
gotten himself poisoned. Listen at the
Banners horrid suggestion
Mrs. Scoville could have concealed
within her mouth capsules filled with
deadly poison, which she could have
given the assassin without the knowl-
edge of the warden and deputy warden,
who were present watching her move
mcnts. BY this means he could have
escaped the opportunity of allowing the
American people to read of his execu-
ton which occurred in the jail-yard at
Washington"

Miss Ada Pennington.

1t is said that Whom the Gods love
die early" And it does seem that those
best suited to live-those who most
freely dispense blessings among man
kind-are those who die earliest, leav-
ing the world darker in proportion as
their lives made it brighter. Many
hearts are aching now at the thought
that her bright smile will no more
cheer, nor her willing hands minister to
their wants. She died on the morning
of June Oath, in the Goth year of her
age
We are apt to magnify the virtues of
our loved dead; but too much cannot
be said of Ada's worth-hcr example IS
so worthy of imitation that all should
know how she lived. Selfshness
abounds in this world, but when we see
life of selfsacrifcing devotion to 9th
ers, we may know that pure, unselfish
heart controlled that life. Hers were
the tender hands and sympathiring
heart that soothed the sick and sorrow
ing ones around. She was truly 4 min
istering angel Of mercy. and her friends
will sadly miss her; but she is gone
from life of care to home where sor-
row and sickness do not invade. Pa
tient little suffererl OVERWHELMINGLY
she bore her Affections here. She now
enjoys pleaturs unalloyed. The writer
had the sad pleasure Of spending the
last night with her ON earth, and lhave
never witnessed Il more interesting exit
from this world. She Was happy in the
prospect of Eternal Life, for carnot
call it Death. Her face shone with I'M
earthly brightness as she neared the
Jordan, and with smile of exultaton
in her victory over Death, she sang,
What friend we have in Jesus" I'M
til within an hour of her death. She
had no fear of the future, and when
told that she would spend her next
Sabbath in heaven, she said: "Pm glad
of it; III take a message from you to
Mollie; know she is in heaven; we'll
be happy there together Sunday" l
will always believe she had glimpscs of
the glory beyond when she raised her
hands and eyes toward heaven and, with
heavenly light on her countenance,
tried to tell, but she failed to articulate
clearly, and we we're left to imagine
what she said.
Grieve no more, father, mother, sis
tiers and brothers; while we consign her
body to the earth, we know her spirit is
ut rest.
"Oh sheltcring earth, henceforth defend
All thou hast garncred of my friend
Against the wintry tcmpest's beat,
Against the summers scorching heat.
Within thine all-embracing breast
Is hid one more forsaken nest,
While in the sky with folded wings
The bird that left it sits and sings"
A FRIEND.

The Nashville American urges the
idle people of the State to 60 to work
at drying of fruit The Home Journal
would also urge industrious people to do
the same. The fruit crop this year in
Tennessee is splendid one. Peach
trees are, generally, loaded, and if the
fruit is dried and put upon the market
the result will be large addition to the
revenue of the State. And do not for
get the blackberries. If you cannot

THE COURSE OF STUDY

is extensive, flexible and practical. Students
can pursue what they need, but must do
thoroughly what they attempt. Schools
should fit for usciulncss-for citizenship. The
old plan-FrcShman Sophomore, Junior and
Senior, with five or six studies for slow and
quick in the same timc--docs not meet the
demand Of the times. Those schools that adj.
here TO this plan cannot live. They may
boast their hundreds OF students and grad

learned that their Alma Mater lacks modern
ideas and does not meet modern necessities
Hence these representatives fail to send back
patronage, though the institution be begging
piteo,lsly for existence. Such are living wit
