A CARD.

Mr.. EDITOR A space is asked to make

of the 18th ult., by way OF local note, as
relates TO my admission to the Bar, intima-
ted "that something is rotten in Denmark"

cured from Chancellor Merritt and Judge
Reid of that city license to practice law, &c ,
The facts are these: called on the Hon.
C. w. Tyler on Monday the oath ult., and
presented my certificate from the County
Court, and requested an examination as to
my illegal requirements" according to law
Code 3967.) The Hon. Judge declined, but
cited me to any two competent Attorneys
for examination, and upon their certificate
OF q satisfactory examination, he would
grant the license. This, to my understand
ing, is not the law according to Sec. l25, ID
paragraph of Caruthers history of a lawsuit
and Code 1857 section. admit the power
in him to appoint, but this power can only
be exercised in open court.
What next? / then called on Chancellor
Seay at the Franklin House, and m ade
known my GRAND, and was entertained as
a gentleman. He babe me to call the next
Cruesday) morning, 18th ut, at the court,
and the matter of my examination would
be attended to. Having special business at
Nashville on that day, told him could

to have the matter attended to there by our

Judges there attend to 1t, and appear here
for enrolment" This took under adj
visement; and while at Nashville i acted
upon his wise suggestion, passed my exami-
nation, secured my license, presented the
same here, Ito the Court in Chancery)
through the motion of Hon. Chas. g. Smith,

nothing more; only desired TO set myself
right, as my acts were fortuitously called in
question, and it being matter of history
which ought to he based on ethical truth. l

examined me as was his duty. my license

respect to all parties concerned.

AFTER a very delightful Summer
thus far, August is now upon us
and if we are to have any very hot
weather it must come during this
month. If it should prove very
hot and dry it will be very trying
period. The unusual amount of
wet weather succeeded by exce5-
sively hot days and nights will I'M
douDtedly breed much malaria.
The best remedy is cleanliness-a
thorough disinfecting of our streets,
alleys, houses and back premises.
BY a proper attention to our SANTA
ry condition many deadly fevers
may be warded off.

THE Commerce street sewer has
been laid up to the Mcdaniel pond,
and on Wednesday morning the
water was turned into the sewer.
1t only took a very short time to
run the entire body OF water off.
1t is gratifying to know that we are
at last rid Of this pestilential quag-
mire, and that it can never form
again so long as the sewer lasts.
Some few may have had doubts as
to how the sewer would work to
those, we are glad to say, that if the
draining of the Mcdaniel pond is
fair test, it comes up to every want
and requirement. Indeed, it is
splendid system of sewerage for the
city so far as it goes and will be far
more useful and beneficial than the
mere drainage of the Mcdaniel
pond. 1t is not known exactly yet
what it will cost. FFF

Tbe Late ]. W. Singleton, M. D., ofPnducuh,

In the Nashville Journal of med
icine and surgery for July, 1882, is a
superior communication from Prof.
w. X. Bowling, giving an obituary
sketch of the life and medical sue
cess of the late j. NJ. Briggs, M. D.
of Bowling Green, KY, father of
Prof. w. Il. and grandfather of
Prof. G. s. Briggs, M. D., editor of
the Nashville Journal of medicine
and surgery, Nashville, Tenn.
In this paper Prof. Bowling
makes honorable mention of many
of Kentucky's distinguished pEysi-
clans, both living and dead, but to
the late ]. w. Singleton, of Padu-
cab, KY, he pays the highest COM
pliment, browning him chief in
point of eLoque9ce. This is what the
Prof. says of the distinguished Sim
gleton:
Except Winston no Kentucky
professor in Medical College was
eloquent and out of the colleges in
the medical societies, State or Ma
tiOnal, 1 think j. w. Singleton,
of Paducah, alone, had been bap-
tised in the light from Heaven"
a just tribute to his memory made
elpaSSalt by noleSs gifted brother,
yet more distinguished as one COM
petent to teach and to judge. Had
Prof. Bowling been writing an obit-
uary notice of the gifted Singleton
much more could have been said of
him asa physician. writer knew
him as well as any man can know
as a physician he was the
peer of any man in private practice,
and in hospital practice the equal of
any, and in the treatment of hospi-
tai gangreen, erysipelas and kim
dred diseases the superior of all. in
heart and hand the kindest oil. ply
as a friend he had no supe-
riors and but few equals. Peace to
his ashes. j. M. l..

sympathy of the communityis with
them in their sad bereavement.
The Banner says OF him:
The deceased was a man of noble
and generous impulses, and highly
esteemed by all who knew him. He
served calamity throughout the
war in Battles famous Twentieth
Tennessee Regiment, having en-
listed as a private when mere boy,
and coming back as captain, high
and honorable distinction in regl-
ment where every man was fit to be
in the highest position. After the
war he was elected to the Office of
County Court Clerk, position
which he filled with the utmost. IL

pointed to with pride by generations
to come. At the close of his admin
istration, he removed to Hickman
county, and engaged in milling and
mercantile pursuits, and in his new
home made as many friends as he
had in his old county. In all the
relations of life he was true man,
consistent Christian, who enjoyed
the confidence and respect of the

"THE settlement will not stand"

whether they will or not. We are
one of "the people" and we propose
