plication Of men whose only business is to
produce those "e evil effects" and, antago-
Iizes in Congress, not passively, but active
ly, any measure looking to an abridgememt
of its aggressive and dominating powers.
There is something strange, bewildering-
ly strange in the various attitudes of men to
the Nation, to the State and to society.
Why some men pursue certain course
when every incentive would apparently
l. ad them in another, is one of the things
that cannot be worked out by any course
of moral reasoning. Some men seem born
with their faces looking in the direction of
the past and political revolutions, the rak-
ing fire of artillery and society upheavals
cannot turn them in any other direction.
They do not, they seem unable to
recognize the fact that human develOpe
ment is more manifest in a decade now
than formerly in a century. The Consci-
ence and Will of christianiZed communi-
ties are more assertive than they have
ever been in the worlds history. As the
determined opposition of President John
son to the Reconstruction measures"
of Congress forced negro suffrage under
aggressive leaders halfa century perhaps
sooner then it would have come and before
they were ready to exercise the privilege,
so will determined opposition to Tenn
perance legal eNactments force Female
| Suffrage as necessary political measure
| q - IL Df fl,o fhAU hoNa had

submissively and supinely relying upon

men of politics. The women, the enlight-
ened women of the nation, women of as
much brains and more conscience than
most of cur political leaders, feel that as a
class they are slaves to alcohol with all its
tyrranies, to as great degree, if not the
kind, as the chattel slavery of men and
women a quarter Of century age, whose
chains were drawn tighter and tighter by
the politicians and only sundered by the
thrOes of a revolution of blood and car
mage. The men who deal out that which
brutalizes their husbands and brings both
cruelty and want in their homes, are pol
stored up by the politicians with the bul
wark of law, the strong, protected and the
, weak, mercilessly turned off, only HEAVIER
and themselves to look to for remedy
The per cent of women now asking for thu
privileges of the ballot is very small, bu

they are made the more and more to fee
the cold indifference of those who witnes
daily, the wrongs they are made to sutfe

The BUSINESS OUTLOOK FOR SMYRNA.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
who is always on the lookout for their
best interest, and owing to the large in
crease of freights and travel, and being
cogRizant of the great increase of popula-
tion, the general spirit of improvement and
enterprise, the flattering outlook which
only lies in her short future and the lack
of enterprise and improvement of Clayton
has led this great corporation to speedy
consider the removal of their railroad
track to curve into Smyrna, where their
property will be greatly enhanced, besides
being located in the midst of a growing,
prosperous and enterprising town where
wealth and industry abonnds. This is
what our citizens have been long and
anxiously waiting for. We are glad that
such a movement 10 upon US, and when
the railroad officials arrive In our town to
locate site for their depot, do not forget
to visit The One Price Boot, Shoe and Hal
Store Of J. II. Primrose. p1w

THE various constructions or our law
regulating the registration of voters would
indicate that there is great defect some
where. A we'll framed law can bear only
one honest construction, and the Legisla-
lure that enacted it should have had more
regard for their reputation than to employ
a iackleg lawyer to draft so important a
law. In other states where they have
lawyers of ability as members of their
Legislatures, they have no such trouble
about the construction of their laws regu-
lating taxes and voting.

THE Senate Anti Polygauy bill which
passed that body, Feb. 10th, was yesterday
passed by the House of Representatives
bv a vote of 199 to 42. There was the
usual show of fight and large talk about
religious freedom" "free government" !"
interfering with the rights of citizens &c,
phrases that are peculiarly pat to men
who care nothing for religion or govern
ment when it comes to the actual test.
Thus the good work has commenced.

Pruning I'm lime.

We have tried pruning in almost
all months of the year, and on the
whole prefer June. This being
about the busiest month of the year,
there is usually little time for prun-
ing, and so the favorite time is early
in the spring, and many of our old
orchards, in their rotting limbs and
decayed trunks, bear testimony to
the mischiefs wrought by the ill
timed use of the axe and saw. Small
limbs, an inch in diameter, can be
taken off at any time with compare
tive safety. But the thorough prun-
ing called for in a long-neglected
orchard is best done in the early
summer. The sap is absorbed by
the rapid formation of wood and
leaves, the wood laid bare in pruning
large limbs soon becomes scared, the
healing process around the edges of
the wound begins Immediately, and
in a few years the wound will be
completely covered with new wood
and bark. There is no chance for
decay as when large limbs are re-
moved in the early spring. There is
far too little pruning done in the
the farm orchard. A dead limb
should not be suffered upon fruit
tree. Good pruning leaves no stubs,
but cuts close to the trunk or branch
bearing the eXcised limb.
