IHE Transcript notes the fact that
the publisher of this paper has in
sured his property in companies for
which Mr.. Crosby is acting as agent,
as an evid ence that we regard him
as reliable in business matter, and a
a refutation of the charge that MIR.
Crosby is not at all times qualified to
discharge the duties incumbent upon
an important public officer. The
reason which impelled this choice
Il easily stated. Mr.. Crosby's pro-
proposed to lake the major partcf
the cost OF the policy in advertising.
The application has been sent TO the
head Office, bat the policy has rot
yet been received. If we had made
application to Mr.. Crosby's po!it-
cal competitor for insurance, the
policy would have been delivered
soon as the application was filed,
Mr.. Muuson having authority to
Issue policies, without any supervis-
ION OF the risk by any superior of.
hcer OF the companies he represents.
Comment Is unnecessary.

WILL the honorable and intelligent

The preparatory class begun the course of
study at the beginning of the present
school year in good faith. and are now in
advance of the requirements of the law.
The school board and I'LL others have not
only oheyed the spirit and letter of this
high school law, but have in many things
exceeded it. Now the visitation has been
made, and soon we will know what the
final action of the high school board will
be. The visitation was made at an unfor.
tunate time for the school, because quite a
number of the older pupils are now teach.
ing in the rural districts, and in numbers
the school is far below the average. The
records of the school, however, show what
the average is, examination papers and OK.
animation records show what studies have
been pursued and what advancement in
them las been made; in short, the records
of the school shown Prof. Benton show
the exact condition of the school, and no
doubt the state high school board will
make just decision in regard to,it.

The birth days of Mrs. Corliss, Mrs
Darling and Mrs. Webber come 50 near
together that the three ladies united, with
a large circle of friends, in celebrating
them at the home of Mrs. Corliss on Tues
day afternoon. A sumptuous repast was
served at early tea time. Music, with
readings, and a pleasant interchange of
thought and feeling filled up the time. The
singing of Mrs. Hale was excellent, and
was enjoyed very much by the ladies
present. The following poem was COM
posed by Mrs. Weber for the occasion:
l am glad the tickle sunlight
Is flooding our homes to day,
That busy care with its restless wings
For time may be chased away.
l am glad the dainty violet
Is nodding its modest head,
AS though it says be blithe and gay
Ere the summer days are sped.
am glad that tender greetings
Will be ours, as the moments fly;
That whatever OF change the year may bring
Thank Co.. love does not did,"

All rulings of the chairman were in favor
of the Nelson men, who claimed that the
greater part of the Kindred men were eth
er non residents or democrats, and that
they had a rightful majority. On the 9th
er hand the Kindred men claimed that the
rulings of the chairman were Impairment
tary and biased, and that the action of the
majority of the tellers was wholly unfair.
Believing that the Nelson men had pre-
concerted plan for obtaining the erganza-
ton, and that they could not obtain what
in justice belonged to them, upon motion
of II. II. Wells the Kindred men withdrew
to Brisbine's hall. After the separation

than that of the Tennessee Jubilee Sing
crs at the Methodist church last evening
The house was filed to overlooking, and it
is safe to say that the audience was held
entranced throughout. The troupe con.
sists of nine colored people, six gentlemen
and three ladies; and although the singers
do not lay claim to the highest culture in
voice, yet their singing is rich, strong, and
harmonious; and the native southern melo-
dies rendered by them are possessed of
such exquisite sweetness, humor and
pathos, as to carry the house by storm.
The entertainment was chaste and elegant,
consisting largely of camp meeting and
plantation songs and choruses rendered
con anlore, and in the very spirit of the
original scenes"
The entertainment will be given under
the auspices of the Board of Trade as one
in their popular series.

pulled the political cigar, and discussed
the crops, the weather and the issues of

chilly all had a good time, and went away
feeling the better for little rest and re-
creation. Success to the school ma ans.
