To the voters of Giles County

Gentlemen: AS l am a candidate tC
represent Giles County in the lover
house of the general assembly of tbs
state of Tennessee. 1 take this means
of laying before you the platform upon
which 1 stand.
l 2m in favor of repudiating every
dollar OF the state debt, From the
simple fact that think it is unjust; be-
cause it has been paid and the already
hard pressed people of Tennessee are in
no condition to pay an unjust debt.
To talk about the railroad bonds be-
ing good is utter nonsense. Every old
man can well remember the tax that
Giles County paid to build the railroad
that now spans her borders. Two hun
bred and seventy-ifve thousand dollars,
if l mistake not. The bonds of which
the bond-holders claim to hold against
the people of Tennessee to-day. If
am elected propose to do all that can
to repudiate the unjust debt that now
hangs over the heads of the people OF
Tennessee.
Reputation dead out is my platform,
and l once more ask you lovers of liberty
to come and take refuge under the heal
ing wings of Reputation.
l am also in favor OF repeating the
obnoxious tOurmile law as whisky is an
article of trade. l think every man
should be allowed to sell it. If Mr.. A.
wants TO sell whisky, say it is none of
Mr.. BIS business.
Believing that the people OF Giles
County are wide awake on this impor-
tant question 1 will close for the pres
emit. Yours Respectfully.
HENRY c. HANNA.

LYNNVILLE.

Last week we omitted to sal
that the Rev. Mr.. Wood, pastor O
the Cumberland church at Athens
Ala, was visiting with his family
at Mr.. w. c. Carter's. On Friday
night he preached fine sermon a
Lynnville which was strongly com
plimented by all who heard him
We would be glad to have him
preach often.
Mr.. d. B. Garrett,we are sorry
to learn, is quite sick with fever,
while he still suffers from infiamma-
tory rheumatism.
Mrs. Col. JAS. T. Wheeler and
daughter, Miss Vereina, were here
this week visiting Mrs. R. D. Ma:
lone and other relatives.
Jas. NJ. Garrett, one of our
Lynnville boys, is on a leave of alb
sence and is here among old friends.
He has been telegraph operator far
out on the staked plains on the
Texas Pacific at TQyah, near the
Mexican line, where the Inhabitants
are principally Mexicans and
greasers. His company, to reward
him for his meritorious conduct,
have given him a lucrative position
on the New Orleans Pacific at
Mansfield, La, whittier he goes at
the end of Is days leave of absence.

seers on the roads that now would
be splendid time to gravel all the
bad places on the roads. The
roads are now smooth and hard and
a few loads Of gravel would go
much farther than when the road
bed is soft, and we ought not to
forget the sad lesson last winter
taught us about roads.
Your correspondents veracity
was never called in question except
once when he reported that Deputy
Sheriff j. s. Gilbreth was seen at
work. 1 will risk it again and
say that the past week he made
some $50 gallons of sorghum. The
fact is, there is no end to the sor
ghum this year.
Saturday was a red letter day
for Lynnville-first preaching by
the Methodist brethren, then four
political speeches by aspirants to
legislative honors, then an exciting
primary election for Whitthorne
md Cox. Besides these the town
was full of mules and mule men and
negroes looking at show papers.

Women's RIGHTS.

The Memphis Appeal in its re
port of the recent meeting of the
Tennessee Bar Association has the
following to say Of one or Pulaski S
most distinguished attorneys;
Mr.. n. Smithson, Of Pulaski, de-
livsred an address on the legal
rights of married women. The es-
sayist states that he had selected
this as his subject because he re
garded "women's rights as n live
issue, and the laws governing the
rights of women as wholly unjust
and radically wrong. He thought
the laws should be modified so as
to conform with the spirit of the
age. Among saVages women were
in slavery. The more enlightment
that prevailed, the more rights and
liberties were accorded to women.
No progress has been made toward
securing to married women the en-
ioyment of their property until
IS49-5O. Since then various acts
have been passed, but the rights of
the husband and wife, as between
themselves, were substantially, if
not exactly, as they were at com
mon law. Tennessee has made very
little progress toward justice to
married women.

Senator Harris Speech.

1t has been many a day since
such . speech was made to such an
audience in Pulaski as that made
by Senator Isham @. Horris in An
toinette Hall yesterday. He dis
cussed national politics at great
length, showing the attitude and
tendencies of the two parties upon
the tariff and other leading ques-
tions, exposing the corruptions,
pecculatiOns and class legislations
OF the republican party and how
such gross wrongs were sometimes
prevented and always opposed by
the democratic party-thss show
ing the great work being done for
the people and the country by
our party. He showedi that, the
people of Tennessee paid annu-
ally indirectly in the purchase of
clothing, implements, etc, taxes to
the amount of $27, 100000. About
one dollar went into the treasury
where three went into the manufac-
turer'e pocket. This is protection
SO called. The democratic party
propose to regulate the tariff and
do away with this gigantic system
of gouging the people. The people
pay this without knowing it, aud
yet in the matter of the state debt
they allow a difference of only
about 100000 annually to divide
them and thus weaken the party
and disable it TO perform the great
work Of saving this $27, 100000 to
the people. He was particularly
forcible upon this line OF argument.
He gave succinct history of the
propositions to settle the debt,
showing his consistency ..sd the in
consistency of the boilers and urged
the people TO unite and assist in
engttih;1ening the party for the
great work that IS before it of de
livering the people from the bondage
of monopolists and the misrule of
republicanism. Space is wanting
to follow his argument. Senator
Harris is a candidate FORE election.
We hope our nominees are for him
and We should like to know, al
though we would not have them to
declare themselves if they think
proper to decline. Heis one of the
great men of the times and Tennes-
see would do herself great hoHor to
claim his eminent services again.

FEATs OF MARKMANsHIP

BY Captain A. III. BOgarduS, and
His Two Sons, Eugene and
NJ aster Henry-SOmo Critical
Hits.
Captain Bogardus, the expert wing
shot, whose title to the championship Of
the world has never been successfully
disputed, has signed = contract with w.
w. Cole, the well known circus pro-
prietor, and during the present season
he will travel with Mr.. Coles NAM
moth shows, giving exhibitions of
fancy trap shooting, off-hand rifle prac-
tice and target shooting, and at every
performance he will practically Illus
trate the rapid firing required by him,
20 accomplish his great feat of breaking
$500 glass balls in seven hours, nine
teen miputes, and two seconds, by shat
tering twenty-five balls in TIVE minutes,
besides loading his own gun. The
captain will be accompanied by his two
sons, Eugene and Master Henry, the
latter being only five years old, yet an
adept in the use of rifle or shot gun,
and as an example of his unerring bulls
eye hits he will shoot glass balls and
marbles held in his fathers fingers. 1t
seems that Cole has determined to
monopolize all the great attractions,
and he has certainly secured many
features heretofore unseen in tent ex-
hibitions. The title of the great show
is too long to print, but we will state
that it is to exhibit in Pulaski, Tuesday,
October 10.

The Sneakin q Monday.

DR.. E. Edmundson and Maj. 3.
F. Matthews, candidates for the SEN
ate, spoke in Pulaski Monday. DIR.
Edmundson handles Mai. Matthews
without glOTes and shows up the in
consistencies Of his official record
in a mastery way. Maj. Matthews
responds with amazing cleverness,
but he canuot get from under the
weight of innumerable charges that
are hurled at him. DIR. Edmund
son will poll the entire democratic
strength of the county. Maj. Mat
theWs is making a very serious mis-
take in opposing the democratic
nominee and We apprehend that the
people will speak their condemna-
ton of his official course at the bal
lot box in severest and unanimous
terms, The opponents of the other
nominees are no less blameable. 1t
is high time that the enemies Of the
party were made to feel the wrath
of an outraged people, and when
they come in sleeps clothing, pre-
tending to be democrats, themselves
they deserve a double measure of
condemnation. Draw the line
straight and require a man to toe
the mark, and when he refuses, cast
him out and treat him as the enemy
he is. These are times that demand
loyalty rather than teachery and the
people have right to hold man
to severe account who jeopardizss
their interests.

A certain lumber dealer in town
was making ten or twelve dollars a
day buying logs. He caught the
craze, quit his business for five
days, losing thereby $50 or $50,
hired a horse and buggy at cost
of $40, drove some thirty or forty
miles to find a man that was going
to marry, bought him for $40, came
home and invested $75 or 500 in
certificates on him and was quietly
waiting for his marriage proofs con
fidently believing that he would
soon realize at least $500 on his in
vestment. Now there are draw
backs in this as oil other classes of
business. The proofs didn't come,
because the fellows girl went back
on him. The lumber man was out
