Every reader of THE News is respect
fully solicitedto furnish us with a brief

what Is going on in other sections of the
county, hence no part of a newspaper is
as interesting and popular as its local
department. Give us the facts and we
will put them in shape if you have not the
time so to do. We would like very. much
to hear from our correspondents at Flor

Now that the question of the hoop
snake has been settled, it is appropri-
ate that the jointed snake should be
discussed. There are a great many
people who do not believe that the
jointed snake exists. These people
make a mistake. The jointed snake
is an actual character. This species
OF reptile at first sight does not pre-
sent the appearance of loose construc-
ton, but when be is in the least mo
Tested, he flies all to pieces. He does
not command as much respect as
the hoop snake, on account Of his loose
habits, but as a curiosity it is difficult
to rival him. Some time ago in
Arkansaw, Senator Walker, while
walking around on the top Of the
Boston mountains, constructing the
mental draft of his next great speech,
a jointed snake fell from a high rock
in front of the distinguished gentle.
man. Mr.. Walker impulsively struck
the reptile with his cane. The snake
separated into about sixty pieces. The
Senator knew he had found a curiosity
and picking up a portion Of the ger.
pent, he wrapped it in his handker.
chief, put it in his pocket and contin.
ued his m~editatiDg stroll. One day il
the Senate, several weeks afterwards
while the Senator was making a speech
on the Chinese question, he felt some,
thing pulling at his pocket. Looking
down he discovered the other part
of the jOinted snake, struggling to cap
ture the section which the Senator haC
wrapped in his handkerchief. Tn,
perseverance Of the snake challenged
his admiration and taking out the de
layed section he presented it to tn.
snake amid the applause Of his con.
t%emporaries. Some people may thin
that this is a lie, and perhaps it il
but il illustrates how thoughtful Sen
ators are Of their constituents.

Don't forget that Hon. John +.

Don't forget thatif the people settle
the debt according to the Bate plat

that they may get nothing, and that
the money which would go to them

Don't forget that the election Of
Bate on the Democratic platform
will settle the State debt proper in
full, aud that 1t the holders OF the

can stand it.
Don't forget that the senior editor

Tennessee has already scaled her
debt from one hundred cents to sixty
cents on the dollar. This is partial
repudiation, the difference between
sixty cents and fifty cents is, therefore,
one of expediency and arrangement,
not ofpnblie honor OF credit.
With such details We do not concern
ourselves. Practically they are none
of our business. But the organization
of the Democratic party, and the cleo
ton of a regularly and fairly nomina-
ted Democratic candidate for Govern
or, are matters of the deepest concern
to Democrats everywhere; and, seeing
on the one hand, and in the person Of
General Bate, the organization andthe
candidate Of our party, and on the
other hand, and in the person of a
person by the name OF Russell, a
movement to continue Republican
rule in Tennessee, and to vitalize and
reinvigorate the waning spirit OF Re
p~ublicanism everywhere, we have, as a
Democrat, but one course open to US.
We are in duty and in honor bound to
support General Bate. This, however,
is rendered the more easy and sgreea-
Bile iince individual predictions go
with public and party obligations.
General Bate is all that we could de
sire in his own person. A man OF
ability. integrity and virtue; brave as
a soldier, generous, genuine and genial
as a neigbbor, upright, high minded
and sincere as a politician, no citizen Of
Tennessee has better earned. or will
more wortbily wear, the mantle which
ouce graeed the shoulders OF Carroll,
Polk, Campbell, T~rousdale, the
Browns, the late President johnson
and the present Senator Harris.
We do not believe the Bailey Hsw-
kins combination can beat him. All
the dollars which the Republican
managers can spare out of the blood
money they are looting from the en-
ployes Of the government, joined to the
funds which railway managers may be
able dishonesty to divert from their
stockholders will not suffice to seduce
the honest Democrats of Tennessee
from their allegiance to their party.
The boilers 90 toto the campaign full
handed. They are rich enough to
erectthe costliest campaign machinery.
They have the whereWiIhal to buy
newspapers. But newspapers are yal-
ueless except as they are the repre-
sentatiyes of popular opinion; and the
good people OF Tennessee eau never be
bought or bullied. They already know
the appliances they have to fight, and
forewarned is forearDed.
Even as Jackson, with the consoli
dated capital, the press, and the most
adroit party managers OF the country
arrayed against him. triumphed over
the Bank, will the Democrats Of Ten
uessee, the lineal descendants Of ack-
son, under the leadership Of Bate,
triumph over the unholy alliance be-
tween the Republicans. the ringsters
and the railroads-the three Rs-who
seek, by trick, trade and tOl-de-rol,
the renegadd's ready reward.

no amount Of gong beating or struttlDg

Mrs. Mary Todd Lincoln, widow Of
ex President Lincoln, died Sunday
night at Springfield, ILL.,, aged sixty
four years. Mrs. Lincoln was a weak
minded woman. During her husbands
administration she did many eccentric
things in Washington, which caused
much talk bordering on tie scandal
ous. After Mr.. Lincoln's death her
conduct was 50 peculiar that her
family and friends treated her as
insane aud placed her in a private
insane asylum at Batavia, III. For
two or three years past she was much
broken down in health. URtil a few
months ago she was under treatment
at water cure ia New York, whence
she was removed to Springfield. She
died in the same house in which she
was married forty years ago. Mrg.
