THE COvington Call, a sound Demo
cratic paper that heartily supports
General Bate, accepts the defeat of its
worthy favorite, @. B. Simonton, very
gracefully, and says:
We place at our masthead this week
the name of Hon. Casey Young, Of
Memphis, the Democratic nominee
for Congress. He was nominated on
the third ballot. The people of our
county were unanimous in the support
of our beloved and popular Congress-
man, Hon. Q. B. Simonton, and OF
course feel disappointed at his failure
to get the nomination, but the odds
against him were too great. Had all
the district known him and his sterling
worth and ability as we do, he would
not have failed. But it is only tempo
rary. Such a noble man as Simonton,
in the prime of life, with his great
talent and ability and experience in
public affairs, is bound to come to the
front. Though Simonton did not get
the nomination, he has made many
warm friends in our sister counties
He made the motion that Colonel
Young's nomination be made uuaui.
nous, and pledged him his hearty
support, Now that the struggle il
over, let us join hands in an earnest
effort to elect the nominee.

THE Avalanche is mistaken in say
ing the LEDGER opposed the 5O-4
measure, upon which the people voted
in August 1879. The bill did not
have our hearty approval before it
was passed, and it was voted against
in the Legislature by one who was
then and is now editorially connected
with this paper We did not object SO
much to the rate of the settlement as
to some other features and circum-
stances connected with its passage,
not necessary to discuss or re-
fer to at this late day.
But after much thought aud consul
I ton with many Of the best men Of
the State, we came to the conclusion
that if such a settlement could be
accomplished, it had better be done
than to have the question forever
dragging along 10 the mire of politics.
We supported the measure, therefore,
and when the election drew near, both
on the stump (pardon the personal ref
erence) and through the LEDGER, ad-
Vised the people to vote for 504.

QUEER CASE.
Dogs Hair as a Cure for Dogs
Bite.

A day or two since an old time
darky was bitten by a dog belonging
to j. A. Nevils, and yesterday swore
out warrant against that gentleman,
who was brought before President
Hadden this morning. The old man
was greatly troubled for fear he should
foam at the mouth and go mad unless
the dog was killed, His story was
that a, soon as bitten he got some one
to cut few hairs from the end of the
dogs tail, and bound the wourd up
With them in it, but no good result
followed. On the contrary, he grew
worse hourly, and in a short while
became fearfully sick at his
stomach, the nausea lasting ever
since. He wss certain that he
would have hydrophObia unless
something. was done, and therefore
wanted the dog killed. Judge Hadden
recommended Shallenberger's pills fol
the nausea. The old darky took a
mental note Of the pills, but was still
uneasy. As the dog had not gone out
of the gate to bite the old fellow, the
court could not order him executed
but was perfectly willing to pacify the
victim iu any other way he could
Finally it was agreed that the owner
of the dog was to furnish few frest
hairs for the wound every day, and all
parties were satisfied.
