THE FARM,
THE FAMILY,
THE HOME.

l. IH 1lOlu II.
THE FARMERS UNION AND MINNEAPO-
LIS WEEKLY TRIBUNE is now the leading
aud best paper for the Farm, the Family, and
the Business Man, published in the Northwest.
In size, and in quantity and quality Of reading
matter, it is without a superior.
THE NEWS.-It is a complete NEWS pa
per, giving All the News from All the World
Its summary of State and Northwestern intelli-
gence is particularly full.
THE FARM.-It is a First-Class Agricultural
journal. With the aid of that veteran Agricul-
tutal Editor Of Minnesota, COL J. Fl. STEVENS,
The FA1:MERs' UNION s WEEKLY TK1BUNK is
specially adapted to the wants Of Farmers in the
Northwestern Belt. In this respect it is greatly
superior, for practical use, to agricultural pa
pcrs published further east and SOUTH and de-
signed for different latitude, different climate,
different SOIL and different line of farm products
No farmer IN Minnesota, Western Wisconsin,
Northern Iowa, Dakota or Manitoba, can afford
to be without the leading agricultural journal o
this region
THE MARKETS.-Our.-ful accurate and i'm
partial Reports of Wheat and General Markets.
at home and abroad, are indispensable to the
grain grower, the stock raiser and the business
man. Published at Minneapolis, the leading city
Of Minnesota and the Northwest. WhcxA the
bulk of the Minnesota wheat crop is now market
ed and turned into flour, THE FARNERs'UNIoN
AND TRIBUNE has facilities possessed by no
other journal for making it's market intelligence
full and trustworthy. In matters OF this Kind it
! is always economy to GET THE BEST.
THE FAMILY.-As a weekly visitor to the
Home and Fireside, this journal is invaluable.
Its editorials discuss all current questions fear
lessly and candidly. The Home Circle Depart
ment; The Young Folks Department.; the
spirited serial Story each week; the Letter Box,
in which evcrybody's questions are answered,
and the several pages ofintcrestng aud instruct
i've miscellany for readers Of all ages, arc care
fully and specially prepared. and constitute al.
most a Family Library. THE FARMERS UNION
AND WEEKLY THIEuNE is not crowded with
political chaff, to the exclusion OF more impor-
tant and more readable matter.

As Azyma is off duty this week
L have thought to furnish you q few
items.
Hog killing is on a boom and
the sweet scented spare ribs are
greatly enjoyed by our citizens.

to report no sickness except a few
cases of mumps.
The firm Of Brooks, Bass &
Collins will he re organized at the
beginning of next year, Bass retir-
ing, who goes to make his future
home in Texas. He will be greatly
missed both in business and social
circles, as he is one of our best bus
mess men, as well as a genial gen
tleman.
Our merchants seem to be do
ing fine business just now. j. G.
King, who is alone in the mercan-
tile business, has push and energy
enough for two or three men and he
never seems to tire. He has in his
employ James Davis whose pleas
ant physique and sallies of wit
make Everything around cheerful.
The new firm of Brooks q Collins
will be as solid as craven image.
Prof. Thos. Holt is staying in
the village improving his mathemat-
les under Capt. Holt,preparatory to

will start in few days for Texas to
resume his duties as principal of
Garden Valley Academy in Ellis
county. He has had several offers
of good situations in Giles since
his return home, but his face seems
to be set on the west and thither he
will go.
&C. M. Barnes, who has been
here for two or three months trying
to shake off the Mississippi chills,
started on his return to the swamp
this week. He says, however. that |
he is only going down to wind up
his business and then go on to
Texas.
There will be several changes in

and will return home we learn
about Christmas.
We need our constable, w. w.
McLaurine, at home very much and
nope the circuit court will adjourn
very soon and allow him to return.

Sunday evening at A p. m. c.
L. Mack Forehand was married
to Miss Matte L. Thomas. Mack
is one of the young men who is not
afraid to take hold and hold on to
the pillow, hoe and ax-handles. This
young couple, besides being in
dustrious, have good health. A
fortune in themselves to begin with.
Now, if you can just steer clear of
all insurance agents, agents of
patents, bucket-shops, ETC., ETC., and
continue to depend upon industry,
sobriety, uprightness and economy
to steer you clear of the breakers,
you will make the voyage of life
safely. We are glad to note the
fact that we have several other
young men in this region who are
not afraid of honest toll. 1 believe
it was DIR. Franklin who said: 'He
that by the plow would thrive, him
self must either hold or drive" A
maxim applicable, of course, as was
intended by the philosopher, to all
kinds Of business.
Seeing that our people are
making better pork than usual we
are almost persuaded that we ordi-
narily keep too many hogs on hand.
Wouldn't the amount of food used
annually for hogs do fully as much

There is Something ROtten.

There is something wrong and
rotten in our governmental system
when the government itself is grow
ing so rich that it requires all the
time and tact of congress to devise
ways to spend the heaping millions,
while the people are not prosperous
IN the same ratio.
1t may be said, and truly, that the
country is prosperous, but it is .
startling fact, and clearly indicates
something wrong in the system, that
only those men are growing rich
who are operating directly under
some special privilege or advantage
afforded by the government. The
balance of US are mere feeders to
these men and to the treasury.
The laws are not framed and
operated for the benefit Of the
masses. If they were, it would be
the masses that get the benefits.
No government can stand whose
policy is to take from her working
people their earnings and either pile
them in her own vaults to be
parceled out to her favorites in jobs,
or so protect few that the wealth
of the masses flows into theiE Golfers.
And yet his is precisely the con-
dition of affairs in the United States
to-day, and to remedy them is the
special mission of the democratic
party. The great body of the PEG
pie have realized these things and
they have concluded that the re
publican party is not only not equal
to the task, but is the author of the
pernicious system and will strain
every energy to keep the heel of the
money-kings on the necks of the
PROSTATE people.
Reform the civil service and stop
favoritism and stealing. Reform
the tariff and let the great strug-
Cling masses buy their goods
cheaper and stop paying tribute to
monopolists. The people let these
so by default and will not
read and inform themselves and rise
up to demand their affairs adj
honestly and correctly.

LYNNvILLE,

Prank, adopted son of the late
John Wilsford, died at j. W. Car
penter's last Tuesday night, aged
10. lie was a very intelligent,
bright boy. A few years since he
was thrown from a mule and his arm
lacerated and it became a scrofulous
sore which resulted in blood poison
and lingering death.
Col. Gill tells the boss goat
story. j. p. Boyd has a very fine
Cashmere buck. He is free for all
goat-goes like the wind where he
listeth." He takes pleasure in row
ing round the cut at Dodson's gap.
The boys often chase him with dogs.
The goat will make right for the
railroad cut and leap off into it
where it is so feet deep. No dog
dare follow him. Thus he eludes
his pursucrs.
DR., Clark goes to Clifton to
practice physic next week. We
commend him to the good people
there as a deserving physician with
bright future, if he attains what
his merit deserves.

Another Dangerous Bolt.

Judge Nixon of Lawrenceburg is
man Of such stern and infeXible
opinions that he cannot unbend
himself to jest, and it is even
said of him that you have to bore q
hole and pour it in if you get him
to take a joke. His whole soul is
wrapped up in the railroad that is
being built to Lawrenceburg. Re-
Gently he was in his sons office
the clerk and master of Lawrence
who is full of jest and merriment,
and was thus accosted:
Father, your railroad is ruined
certain. 1t will never be built now
and you had better dispose of your
interest before the crash
The stately old gentleman was on
his feet aghast in an instant. His
pet scheme in danger? The petted
child of his declining years to be
torn from him? He could scarce
ly articulate, so great was his con
sternatiOn:
-"What-wh-what is it, son! Do
they refuse to endorse our
bodd? Will no one bid for
Lawrence county bonds? POUNDS
sir, Wen form a syndicate and
you and Z will subscribe for
the whole edition! What is it?
Quickr
"Why, father, Henry has sent
down here thirteen kegs of bolts.
You know how fatal one Bolt was
for us last month, and know one
little railroad can't stand thirteen
kegs at once"
The judge had been a Bolter and
this spike driven so cleverly went
right home, and he got up and
stared a moment at the solemn
of his cruel offspring,
took up his gold-headed cane and
marched out like an army with
Banners, and he rode full five miles
in jog on his way to Columbia to
see about the damaging reports be-
fore the wicked joke turned itself
wrong side outwards before his APP
prehension and revealed itself in all
It's side-splitting splendors, and he
got down and hitched his horse to a
sapling and sat down on log and
his vest to laugh. And
then he went home and wrote a cod
ell, and when it is read, behold,
hat son will find himself in as
arge minority as the late boilers.

for Your Home Paper


Tile lords of creation who meet
US with the remark, when asked to
subscribe for their county paper,
"Oh, L don't care to subscribe for a
local paper, it doesn't interest me.
/ want a paper that gives me the
news daily and tells what is trans
piring all over the world, should
reflect for a moment and remember
that if it doesn't interest them, it
certainly Is a great source of pleas
ure and enjoyment, as well as IN
struction, for their wives and chill
dren. The good wife whose domes-
tic duties keep her close at home,
almost entirely out of society, does
not care for foreign news, tele-
graphic dispatches and the affairs of
the world at large, but she does
take a heartfelt pleasure and de-
light in what transpires at home
among the people of her acquaint-
ance in town and county, and looks
for the weekly coming of the focal
paper with eager welcome, and reads
of the goings and comings, of mar
riages and deaths and general local
happenings with keen zest and the
closest interest. Your children also
find much to entertain, interest and
inform them in its pages and always
look for its coming with delight
No good husband or father should
deprive his household of this cheap
but wholesome means Of pleasure
and information. Every good citi-
zen should subscribe for his home
papers. They are his best friends
and do more to build up and en-
nance the general prosperity and
growth of the community than any
other influence. A good local paper
always reflects the spirit and pro
gresssiveness of a people and is al
ways looked to by strangers as an
index to its business and social en-
terprise. On our outside this week
we republish an article taken from
the Pulaski CITIZEN, giving few
reasons why your local papers
should be taken in preference to
foreign ones, which we hope every
citizen of this county will read.

Mr.. B. NJ. Hord, formerly editor
of the Rural Sun, will be an appli-
cant for the office of commissioner
of agriculture. He has demonstra
ted his peculiar fitness for that posi-
ton by his long and successful ca
reer as agricultural editor and prac-
teal writer upon such themes. We
imagine that Gov. Bate would have
to look long before he found
more suitable and efficient man.
There is another weighty reason.
We believe East Tennessee has a
right to demand divide that even
exceeds her proportion of democrat
ic strength, because OF her unwaVer-
ing energy and stern devotion
against odds and sometimes dan
gers. If she is not thus recognized
she would be justified in growing
weary in well doing. Such being
her undeniable right, and presenting
as she does a gentleman of such
unquestionable integrity and ability,
we see no reason why she shall
not have what she wants. The
Chattanooga Democrat is advoca-
ing his appointment vigorously and
the great work it did in the can
vass entities its wishes in tn is
matter to serious consideration.

NashvilIe's Growth.

Nashville and Denver City are
the two phenomenal cities of the de-
cade. Nashville has gone from
$4,000 inhabitants in 1870 to near
10000 now; from $500 houses to
above 900; and all other things
have increased in proportion, except
her educational and industrial en-
terprises, and these have Outstripped
all precedent and competitors. She
stands to-day the centre of southern
educational interests, having finer
and larger schools and colleges than
any other city in the south. In
1870 her manufacturing enterprises
could be counted on your fingers
and now she shows the enor-
nous number of 6S8 firms out of a
total of 2, 430 engaged in manufac-
turing. In 1870 she shipped 10000
barrels of -four and now she produ
ces $500 barrels daily. Her lumber
interests show up enormously and
also her cotton productions, but her
superiority over other cities south
lies in the diversity of her manufac-
lures, embracing the whole range of
productions in ordinary materials,
and rapidly spreading into the more
intricate branches of fine materials,
machinery, etc. These facts are
gratifying in the extreme to our peo-
pie. Nashville is gradually becom-
ing the leading southern city and
center of trade and her prosperity
and growth can but reflect upon her
immediate neighbors and tributa-
ries. The day is not far distant
when her suburban possessions will
comprise a radius of a hundred
miles and the great valley of Mid
die Tennessee be dotted with the
country residences and villas that
speak of progress and wealth and
luxury and happiness. We, her i'm
mediate country cousins, are i'm
mensely interested in helping her
progress, because our country is to
come in for a share of the profits
and glory. Whenever possible, and
whenever we can make it possible,
we ought to give Nashville the
preference in ordering goods. In
this connection it may not be out
of place to give her a little advice
from an outside standpoint: She
ought to gather her metropolitan
robes about her and abstain from
dabbling in the small trades and
ventures that belong legitimately to
the country retail trade. If she
completes with country merchants,
how can she hope to have them buy
of her? In the paper and printing
business, for instance, she goes
through the country gathering up
the small trade, cutting prices and
doing shoddy work for the express
purpose of running country pFper
dealers and printers. She could
mend this littleness and then she
could sell largely to these men and
in that way supply all the demand
where now she supplies less than
half. There is wisdom in this nut
if her dealers will crack it. We
mention this only to illustrate. The
reform could include all the trades
While Nashville is marching gradu-
ally to a glorious future which we
all hail with great qualification, she
IAN afford TO shake off these little
.rickeries and rise to the dignity of
Ter surroundings.

Discrimination in Freights.

A long suffering public will brook
no longer the vile and oppressive
wrongs heaped upon it by the rail
roads. We have held our peace thus
long but our wrongs at last burst
their bonds and cry aloud for re
dress. In shipping our newspaper
from Cincinnati the agent of this
huge, towering monopoly invariably
guarantees that the freight rate
shall not exceed IS cents, and we
hold his bill of lading as evidence
of the contract, but when it gets
here another of the mercenary
underlings brings in the freight bill
and we are astounded to find that
although we have a lawfully eX-
ecuted guarantee of 6S cents, they
exact from us and we are compelled
to pay 80 cents. Why this reduc-
tion of - cents? We demand to
know These soulless corporations
cannot perpetrate such staggering
assault upon the thick bosses of our
bank account and hope to escape.
And we are informed that we are
not the only victim. 1t is a fact
that perhaps the learned peruser of
this paragraph dashed off with a
borrowed pencil and immense loss
of brain power) never thought of it,
that if an unoffending citizen dares
to ride in his carriage over turn
pike he pays toll at the rate of 4
cents a mile, and has the privilege
of furnishing his own vehicle; and
yet when this same u. C. gets on one
of the gilt-edge palace cars that be-
long to these usurping cormorants
he is not allowed to pay but 3 cents
q mile, with lights, fuel and running
gear found and no questions asked.
A man can walk for less than that
and carry his own trunk. How it
frets a drummer to have his 900
pound mansard roof trunk hauled
half mile to the depot by an ex
pressman for the pitiful sum of rs
cents, and then have the miserable
agent, from laziness or carelessness,
let his baggage run through to
Montgomery without 'excess" while
he rides on a two-cent ratei These |
things must be tinkered by the !
Well never rest until |
these millionaire gougers are forced |
to throw in a chrome. We warn
them. A stitch in time saves two
birds in the bush. a word to the |
wise is the thief of time. Have a
care, or the aroused lion will haul
its freight through on q slide.
