Overalls, Feb. Is, 1882.


A telegram from the Associated
press ON last Wednesday morning
gave the news to the country of the
death of the venerable Bishop
Wightman, of the M. E. Church,
South, which event occurred at his
home in Charleston, South Carolina,
at an early hour on Wednesday
morning. This distinguished man
of God had been sick for some time
and his death was not unexpected,
still, the loss of his mighty influence
and distinguished services will fall
heavily on his Church. His death
will be universally mourned. This
is the second death among Bishops
of this Church, South, within the
last few years, and upon the next
General Conference will fall the
duty of electing their successors.
1t will be no easy work selecting
two worthy successors of such able
and learned divines as were Bishops
Marvin and Wightman.

Public ScnooI Notes.

The Public Schools were visited
last Monday by the School Commit
tee of the Board of Mayor and AL
dermen. The city Dads were cour-
tcously received by Supt. Weber
and politely shown through all the
departments and grades of these
fourishing schools. The committee
expressed themselves as highly
gratifjed at the marvellous discip-
line and greatimprovement noticed
in the schools.
The attendance OF the pupils is
something worthy of notice and
will compare favorably with that
of any public schools in the cOun-
try.
The average attendance of the
Nashville Public Schools for the
quarter past, as we notice from the
Nashville papers, was 94-77, while
that of our schools was 94-S9. The
average tardiness of the Nashville
schools was II one hundredth of
one per cent. while tardiness here
was only Is one hunderdth of one
per cent. A good showing for our
schools.
1t is reported that the School
Board contemplates again reestab-
fishing the High School depart
ment, consisting of the 9th and 10th
grades. This however will not be
done until next session.

Philip Phillips.

AS announced in our issue of last
week, the above named gentleman,
whose reputation as composer and
vocalist is worldwide, will give
one of his unique entertainments
consisting of song and incidents of
his life and travels, in Elders Opera
House, on Saturday evening, Feb.
18th.
Mr.. Phillips will be assisted by
his son, who bids fair to achieve the
same distinction in the musical
world as his father, and we feel as
sured in prOnnuncing it as our opin-
ion that they will be greeted by a
large and appreciative audience.
Mr.. Phillips has actually "belted
the earth with his evenings of
song" having given his entertain
ments in twenty different countries
in all quarters of the world to
crowded houses, and the press all
over the land is loud in its praise
of this very justly termed "Bishop
OF Song.
The New York Herald says of
him: "Mr. Phillips sang with
pathOs and grace, enunciating his
words so distinctly that not one was
missed by any person in an audi
ence of five thousand"
He comes under the auspices of
the Young Mems Christian Associ-
alton, and the fact of their having
made an effort to introduce a class
of entertainments in our city which
will prove both instructive and en-
tertaining, is conclusive proof that
they are in reality what their name
implies, band of young men en-
gagged in aggressive work for the
cause of christianity and morality.
They are fortunate in this engage
ment, and it clearly shows that
they purpose giving only enter
( tainments of the highest order.
/ Price of admission so cents. Re
served seats without extra charge.
Sale of seats will begin at Owen 4
Moore's bookstore on Tuesday
morning. Doors open att, the en-
tertainment will begin at s p. m.

A gentleman who arrived here
from Springfield yesterday said
that a party arrived at Springfield
Saturday night. On leaving Spring
field they went to Cross Plains,
where they arrested a man named
Wood Hight, who is said to be a
cousin of the James brothers. They
returned to Springfield with the
prisoner, handcuffed, at 3 A. NJ. Sun
day, and took the train for st. Lou
is. Two other men, armed with
shot-guns, seemed not to be DESTROYS
of attracting the attention of the
men who had Hight in custody,
they took the same train, but re-
turned on the south-bound train.
Very little was said by those hav-
ing Hight in custody. 1t is sup
posed Hight was taken to Missouri,
where, it is understood, a large re-
ward had been offered for his appre-
hension.-America1s, FEB. IA.

Frank James i'm the city.

An unknown individual travel
ing under the apostolic cognomens
of Thomas, alias James, victimized
the Grange Warehouse and Messrs
Ely & Kennedy, to the tune of s35
and $75 respectively, on last Satur-
day, by means of forged letters OF
recommendation and false repre-
sensations.
Thomas, alias James, called on
these firms on the day named pur-
porting to have quantity of tobac-
CO which he wished to forward
to them and get advances on the
same, at the same time producing
letter of recommendation pur-
porting to be from Mr.. John G.
Batson, of the Southside. On the
strength of these representations,
the above named firms advanced
him the stated sums of money and
thought nothing'more of the trans
action, until last Thursday morn
ing, when Capt. Herndon received
a letter dated Cumberland Furnace
February 18th and postmarked the
18th, stating that the letter recon-
mendation from Batson was a forg-
cry and that they had been victim
lied. The writer signed himself
Frank j., evidently intending to
create the impression that he was
one of the celebrated James boys.
Whoever he may be, he is likely to
make himself scarce in these parts
hereafter, nor do we know of any
one who has any particular desire
to interview the daring swindler.

From Rev. J. w. Cullom.

/ EDITORS CHRONICLE:- On Next
Sunday you will likely cross the
river at the Seven mile ferry and
dine with the good people at Salem.
You remember the racing trip that
we took together on the 18th of last
October. Now it would be specially
delightful to this writer to be your
travelling companion again and hear
DIR. Hargrove next Sunday. Then
I have presentiment that you will
be OIL the Soushside about the I'D
of this month. What a good thing
it is to have country cousins. My
genial successor over there is the
right man in the right place, and /
trust will not be under the necessi-
ty of knocking any one down, nor
up, for the next four years.
Rev. J. g. Myers (Arkum sermon
num) spent night with us last
week, and we got up joint letter
to S. A. Caldwell, Esq, which was
promptly answered. He desires to
be remembered to old friends in
your county. We are neighbors
this year and have great sympa-
thy for each other, for he also had
the misfortune to perform an eques-
trian feat on a city sidewalk out
here and was set upon by vigilant
policeman.
The bystanders at our post-office
say that / get all the mail, and
am behind with number of cor
respondents from your county. /
hope Thee Wyatt and all the rest
will accept this sketch as an equivt
alent for their last letters and send
on some more.
1 sincerely sympathize with Bro.
Putnam in his affiiction. We have |
met at our annual gatherings for
thirty years, and l never met a
truer man.
Our colored citizens held a mass
meeting lately and petitioned the |
Governor for rations. Many of
them, and some white people here
are on very short allowance. But
when plow-time comes 1 think all
will get employment and provis-
ions, for our warehouses are full and
the railroad adds daily to the sup
ply. We have peace and plenty
ut these headquarters.

NASHVILLE, Feb. 14.-In the
Supreme court to-day, OH the Ten
nessee bond injunction case, counsel
for the Funding Board made appli-
cation to amend the decree so as to
enjoin the funding into bonds with
taX-receivable coupons, but to per-
NIT the funding to proceed if the
bonds do not contain such coupons.
The decision will in this event
merely have expunged the tax-cou-
pons feature from the act, and the
funding would then proceed in
1908 bonds with ordinary coupons.
The court has thea application under
adVisement.
