Low Gap Springs.

The above named springs are located
 in spur of tho Boston mountains,
 abOu. fifteen miles north Of Clarksyille.
 Johnson county. The springs are
 reached by stage or private conveyance
 over q mountain road that cannot be excelled for smoothness and easy grades
 by any similar one in the State. It Is not necessary so state that the supe- ri0r excellence of this road has been effected by the vigorous prosecutions of the oyerssers, and we commend the example of the able prosecuting attor- ney Of the fifth judicial district Ill this respect as one worthy of emulation by his brother officers throughout the State. In fact the only way to secure good public roads Is o rigidly enforce the road lgws through the oversesrs. The road in question is the main route of travel from Clarksville to the coun- ties north Of the mouutain At the springs, the road passes through de- file in tha mountain, known as Low Gap, and here can be found one of the most pleasant, healthful, yet but little known resorts.

 see all article in the Russellville DEMOCRAT, Of recent date, oyer the sig nature of "Observer" and under the caption of Bells Chapel Dots, which gre not facts but are false statements and are calculated to do an injustice to several of our worthy citizens.
 As to the crops, they are fine, not only corn and cotton but our wheat crop was much better than any expected it to be early in the spring, and no one seems to be disappointed as to the yield.
 He says we voted school tax in spite of the anti-taN meE. Now l am q tax man, and many of our best men are what he terms anti-taX men. He makes the broad charge that they say q man had as well steal as 10 vote fifty cents tax on a nan with two or three children to school only six months. Some hot-hcaded. tax man may have made such A remark. l cannot say, but do know that the great majority of those who were opposed to the school tax are too much of gentlemen to use such language about their nsighbor. He says they, which must mean all. Tn this he, "Mr. Observer, has false ly misrepresented this community. He further says that J. l.. Terrence Is run for J. F., by the anti-tax men to beat Lazenby, because he (L.) voted for a three-nill school tax. This is not true. We are entitled to two J. P.'s in this and every other township, and there are plenty of men who voted with and against "Mr. Observer" in the school election that will support both of these gentlemen. hi this he makes another false statement. As for D. N. Black burn and II. Y. Cloninger being Iun, as also J. Nj, Carpenter, by the parties mentioned in his article, he is mis- taken again to my certain knowledge He expresses himself very sanguine as to being able to beat them again as we beat them in the school election. "Mr Observer if l mistake not, is the very gentleman who made the race once up- on a time for J. F., and fully expected the strong colurcd vote of the township, but found out on the day of the elec- tion that the voters were quite differ eHt mind and very politely elected another man J. r. The school election, upon which he bases so much, cuts no figure in the coming election, and no one ever thought tO make it test in Our selection Of township officers, and "Mr. Observer" will find out this fact. Sn upon the whole, the entire article is q false statement and is calculated to mislead tho readers of your paper. The manner in winch some are agitating this school question is doing our school interest an injury, and while we do differ as tO the school tax, we are try ing and have been livingin peace and harmony. "Mr. Observer" has injured no one but himself, we all know his ar ticlc is false as tO fact. We have heard our candidate for senator on the school and we are satisfied. He is for

 Editor DEMOCRAT: According tC yonr request for information generally as to crops and items of interest, I will take this opportunity and start oil by asking, where will we get boards ts cover our corn fields with? It is this or build greater barns. Corn certainly never was better in this section, besides the increase of acreage this year which in our section will amount to at least one-fourth more than common. Taking this whole section, wheat made an aver age of about tea bushels per acre. Our threshermali, J. NJ. Henkle, threshea in this county 2643 bushels of wheat, 64 bushels of rye, and 672 bushels of oats. He spent part o! his time in Con- way county threshing wheat, rye and oats, but these figures refer directly to what he threshed in Pope. The pres pect for cotton l. indeed flattering con sidering its looks even one month back and with ordinary seasons from now oa nothing but poor stands on some farms can beat Us out Of d good aver age crop.
 Our old friend and merchant, F. D. K. MontgOmery's store house with about five hundrded dollars worth of goods was burned down on the 29th of July. The prevailing idea is it was first robbed and then fired, but no clue Is vet obtained that would lead to con- yiction of the guilty wretches. Now l profess to be a law-abiding man, but in this case believe eight feet of 34 grass rope swung high in the air with the man or men at one end and limb to the other is the best law for their sort. We,are satisiied that there is a clan of these vile Iniscreants roaming through our country, and it is thought that their headquarters is on the head of Red river away back in the mountains They are stealing horses, cattle and hogs, and only about three weeks since they tried to break into David Reid's store on Point Remove, but were driy- en of, and they fired blacksmith shop but they were found out there and the ire put out. Can they not be brought to justice before they become more troublesome and formidablef Will not our civil officers perform their duties regardless ofconsequences, and thereby help our people free themselves from these despisable skulks? We'll, to-mor- rea the candidates will give us call and we will give them good hearing. but they are so numerous when meal time comes around we will have 10 herd them In the corn folds

inscribed to Mir. X Mrs. A. B. Williamson, oh the death of Little Archie August <, lSs3.
 More than angels are the dear ones Who from out our lives have flown, Leaving us with hearts so saddened, And our homes so still and lone. For awhile we thought to keep them, Filled their wants with loving care; soothed, caressed, and entertained them, More than angeIs-unaware More than angels are the dear ones Who now sing "Redeeming loye;'' Babes Of earth through Christ's atonement Welcomed to the fold above Our lone hearts anon are yearning, Clouded still with grief and pain, And ouf empty arms uplilted; Eager arms that reach in vain. Yet We find earth joys all fleeting, Each sad heart knows we'll its woe; And what We are now enduring, They will never, never know. Little lips We pressed with kisses, Ere we saw the rose-tint fade, Little hands we elasped so fondly, On the cold breast laid = Though you now to dust may moulder, In the resurrection morn He will call you forth to meet Him Fashioned like His glorious form Then we'll join you in the chorus, "Glory, glory to the Lambi'' And our harps with yours shall echo, Praises to the Great l Am Yes, we'll trust Him when He chideth, When our hearts with sorrow bleed, For we know that whom He loveth, Those He chasteneth indeed And, we'll deem 1t still blessing That He lent them to our care, - Honored us with entertaining More than angels-unaware.

Yes, little Daisy is not dead; she has only departed from the family circle and Is waiting on the other shore to greet papa and mamma, when they "cross over the river to rest under the shade" Who can appreciate the anguish that rends the hears of these afflicted parents? But there is One 70 whom the mourning can go for consolation, and He will ease their burden of sorrow.
