PARISH MAp.-Mr. Chas IL. Dickinson,
Parish Surveyor of Ibervillc, is making a
large map Of that parish, showing the
location, dimensions and boundaries of
every piece of land, together with the
names of the present owners. AS the

BILE addition to the parish records. 1t is
seven feet square and is made upon a
scale of two inches to the mile. Such Il
map is needed here, and our Police Jury

would employ IL competent surveyor to

NEW FIRM.-It affords us pleasure to
direct the attention of our readers to the
notice appearing in this number of the
CHIEF under the heading of New Adyer-
tisements, announcing that Mr.. Joseph
Goudran, Donaldsonville's oldest mer-
chant, has formed a co partnership with
two of his sons, Messrs. Joseph Gondra,,
Jr, and Desire G. eGondran, for the pur-
pose of continuing the business which
the senior member Of the firm estab-
lished here in 1915. There is no merchant
in this town or section who enjoys ?
higher reputation for probity than the
venerableJoseph Gondran, and we feel as
sured that the vigor and energy which the
worthy sons of this noble sire will infuse
into the business Of the popular Blue
Store will cause that establishment to
take a still higher rank in the eommu
nifty than it has heretofore enjoyed. We
congratulate all the members of the new
partnership upoaAe association which
they have formed and have no doubt it
will prove as snseessfnl rs its prestige
and merit will deserve.

We were in error in reporting last week
that the fatal shooting of Nelson Will
liams by Sophie Murphy took place on
the palo Alto place. The affair occurred
on the st. Emma plantation, where both
the parties were employed. 1t seems,
also. that the shooting was not Of the
accidental character claimed by the wo-
man, aud that the victim did not so
acknowledge as weNhad been informed
On the contrary Williams made an aft
davit just before his death in which he
declares thateSophie was angry at the
time. that she ran to the table where his
revolver was lying, snatched up the
weapon aud deliberately shot him. The
woman is in Jail, but it is doubtful if
evidence can be secured to convict her, as
the affidavit of Williams is not authenti-
Gated as a dying declaration and there
were 10 witnesses to the deed excepting

Lincoln for President.

WASHINGTON, December Jewell
informed politicians promise inter,
esting developments early in the
new year. These men, who profess
to be down deep in the well, say to
those they can trust that early in
January Secretary Lincoln will be
appointed Minister to Great Britain,
that Ex-Governor Hartranft, of
Pennsylvania, will be appointed Sec
rotary of War, and that Benny
Brewster will take Justice Bradley's
place on the Supreme Bench, while
strong but not fractional Repuol i-
can from the West will become At
torney General. Such is reported to
be the present programme.
Congressman who have returned
to Washington report remarkably
strong feeling among the people in
their districts in favor Of the nom
nation of Secretary Lincoln for
President in 1884. This sentiment
is said to be confined to no section
in fact, it is less strong in Illinois
than elsewhere. In Michigan, in
Iowa and in some parts of New
England the report is brought that
the party not only regards Lincoln
as an inevitable candidate, but also
as most available one.
It is reported that President Ar.
thur has been for some time of the
opinion that MIR. Lincoln was the
most available candidate. Besides, the
nomination of Lincoln would not
be without credit to the present ad
ministration, especially as it is pref
ty well understood that Genera
Arthur has no idea of being his OWL
successor, He is reported as being
quite ready 10 help Lincoln. jackson
nominated Van Buren, for minister
to the court of St James, though
the Senate refused to confirm. Var
Buren,, however, succeeded Jackson

land, it being well understood tina
this was a part of the plan which
subsequently carried Buchanan tt

is said, has offered Mr.. Lincoln tn,

been accepted, to take effect in Jan

That's right, Mr.. Tribune; when
your best friends go to you and tell
you that you are in the wrong and
that the CHRONICLE is in the right,
don't NOPE and pout and make
faces and have the mulligrubs; but
just come out like man and admit
you were in the wrong.
Now. you have come down so
gracefully, we forgive you, of
course; aud ask your cooperation
in getting up grand revival of en-
thusiastic goodwill among all OF
our interests.
This will result in making Knox

A SQUARE BACK-DOWN.

The Tribune, after insinuating,
editorially and otherwise, that our
railroads were the enemies of our
city, after indirectly striving to
bring OR railroads into odium, on
Sunday made square back-down,
crawfshed out of every position it
had taken, apologized, by way of
explanation, for what it had said,
and got down on its knees to do
homage to the CHRONICLE.
Oh, it wasn't sour home road" we
were criticising with such sharply
pointed pencils, cries the Tribune;
,'our article was in reference TO the
ruinous and outrageous discrimlna,
ton which the Western North Car
oLtna road made against Knox
VILE"
The Tribune reminds US of the
bully who after threatening a Ten
nesseean was bound to KEEP
the peace towards the prose
cutor and "also towards all the 9TH
er people of Tennessee" After look
ing at his bond awhile, ne raiset
himself up to his full height, shook
his fist, and in profane accents de
clsred he wouldn't touch any Ten
nesseean, but so full of fight was h'
that he wonld give five dollars tt
any man who would only show hin
a North CGroLieian!
The Tribune not only goes bach
on Itself, but goes back on its CORE
spondent, and says: ave do not
believe the East Tennessee, Vir
ginia and Georgia Railroad ha
stood directly in the road to Knox
ville's prosperity"
And then, after catching 1T
breath and sharpening its pencil
little more, the Tribune adds: .1hd

THE head of one of our largest
manufactures assures US that the
liberal tone of the CHRONICLE in
reference to our business interests
is generally endorsed. He says
those who receive and ship most
freight over our railroads do not
take any stock in any effort to
characterize our railroads as enc
mics to our city.
This gentleman is a prominent
member of the Democratic party;
but he is the very soul of Hberality.
We have received many words OF
encouragement from KnoXville's
most prominent business men, of
both parties.
We appreciate all this; and shall
strive vigorously and sincerely to de-
serve the support of every man who
believes that business is the best
politics.
We do not propose to aid in
making war on any of our business
interests.
