Tennessee Series Of Stock Sales.

Our readers will find in another
column an advertisement of the
above series of sales. The gentle
men who have the management OF
these sales are confident that they
are now offering as good a collec-
ton of animals as were ever offered
in this section. The combination
system of live stock sales Was inau
gurated several years ago by Mr.. A.
j. McKimmin under cloud OF diff
ficulties from which nothing less
meritorious would ever have sue
cessfully emerged. The movement
is now an unqualified success, as
has been demonstrated by the sales
of the last two years. Tennessee is
rapidly taking a front rank in the
list of stock breeding states, and
every year sees her further adj
vanced in this scale, through the
efforts of some public spirited citi-
zens. 4 person in search of live
stock of any kind can be suited at
these sales, no matter how fastidi-
Gus he may be, or how high a stand
ard he may place on any species Of
animal. The cattle are all of the
most prominent families, and are
either drafts or descendants Of the
most noted herds. The horses are
all well bred and fine-looking, and
the purchaser may feel very sure
that he will obtain the worth Of his
money, no matter what animal Of
fered he may see proper to invest in.

rha rslephone improved.

The means of communication by
which persons may speak to each
other, though far apart, is matter
of deep interest to everybody. The
wonderful invention of the telephone
has served to connect places Of bust
ness, and subserves many of the de
mands of commerce; it has enabled
the man in his office TO cOmmuni-
cate directly with his wife hearth
stone of his home, and to hear the
cries of the dear little ones when
they fall in the fire; it answers the
the purpose of the infatuated young
man when he is compelled to be
absent from his infatuatOr for a
whole day at a time, and as a
romantic medium of courtship has
often brought about that felicitous
union of hearts which is the source
of SO much sorrow in the world.
Then who would not hail with de-
light even the slightest improve
ment on this simple and serviceable
instrument. Pulaskians were as
founded Friday night to hear a
professed scientist announce that
Edison, the great American in
ventor, had been outstripped, and
that whereas his invention only en-
abled one person to hear what passed
over the wire, the speaker had SC
improved it that any number OF
persons could be communicated with
at the same time. 1t seemed that
when the new discovery should have
eliminated that a speaker might
stand In Nashville and address N
laudience in Pulaski The inventor
proposed to demonstrate the utility
of his machine, and the cord
answering for q wire, was stretched
along the isle fronting the speaker
Many of our best citizens were
present, and some of the most scien
tific OF them tested the instrument
Following instructions they caugh
the cord lightly between the tips o
their fingers and placed it within
half an inch of their ears. Their
we're at least some ten or twely
men in this position when the in
ventor sent this message along tn
line: Il have just arrived il

The Banner is Mis- aken

The following article from Mon
days Banner is inaccurate. We do
not care to dispute anything but
that the CITIZEN has said there is =
diversity of opinion here 1t is life
or death with Res and we refrain,
and always have RETAINED, from say
ing anything that would prejudice
the case either way. We print this
to show our people what outsiders
think OF it:
W w. Rea, who was sentenced TO
hang at Pulaski ON the 2ist of
April, was respited on the day pre-
yious by Gov. Hawkins until May
Is. " This humane act on the part of
the governor has met the approval
of nearly every one familiar with
the case. 1t is now hoped and he
lieved that the governor will com
mute Rea's sentence to a life term
in the penitentiary. A gentleman
from Pulaski informed q Banner re-
porter to-day that nine-tenths of the
people of Giles county would APP
prove of such an act on the part Of
the governor. Only the personal
enemies of Rea insist that he is
guilty of the crime charged. The
daily and country press OF the state
have reviewed the testimony in the
case and commented upon The same
from various standpoints and ia no
single instance have those com
ments been unfavorable to Rea. The
papers OF Pulaski state that there is
divers ty of opinion in Giles coun
ty in regard to the guilt OF Rea.
The testimony against him is pure
ly circumstantial, and is SO consid-
cred by the supreme court, Not
one iota OF positive proof appears on
the record to corroborate this cir
cumstantial evidence. The MAORI
ty Of those who affect 20 believe
him guilty were known to have been
his enemies prior to the killing.
Many believe that his conviction
was Che result of a conspiracy to get
him out of the way. There are not
more than a dozen men in Tennes-
see who have read the testimony in
the case that would not sign a pcGi-
ton for communication of sentence.
| Governor HAWKINS sense Of justice,
and not his sympathies, is appealed
to in this matter

FRIDAY. NAY NINETEENTH.

The effect of this reptile is to ere
ate the impression with a large
number that Rea will not be hung
at all. From the Nashville papers
it appears that immense influences
are being used to secure a commu-
tatior. All three of the dai lies
have argued that le may be limo
cent and several prominent men and
preachers have yielded to his pro
testatiOns of innocence and believe
him innocent, A petition was got
ten up and signed by about forty
members of the Legislature asking a
Communication, and his relatives and
friends are supplementing all these
influences by persistent work. A
governor rarely stands out against
such as this and it need not sur
prise us if Rea's sentence is com
muted to Imprisonment for life.
The governor, on the other hand,
has said that he is going to be
governed by the record. If he is,
Rea will hang. Although the evil
dence does not exclude the posi-
bllity of innocence, it furnishes not
the slightest ground for supposing 1t
The influence that saves Rea
must therefore come from the out
side. This influence is being
welded powerfully, rs above indi-
Gated, and the fact that the govern
or has already broken over his res
olution to stick to the record fur
nishes reason for supposing that ne
may finally yield to the pressure FOL
a life sentence. He warns Rea
however, that he must prepare tol
his fate. We give these facts anC
opinions that the people may kno"
them and form their own opinions
as to whether it is necessary to re
peat their pilgrimageto Pulaski OF
the day appointed. Sheriff Arrow
smith had not prepared the gallow:
nor selected the site. He was ex
tremely rejoiced to receive the tele
gram. shrinking naturally from tn
dread duty he will have to perform
Rea, after his terrible experience o

will doubtless spend the remalnde
of the three weeks yet left him t
live in preparing his soul to meet 1t
God. No man ought to hold on
, hope to him. 1t was clinging to
! that brought him sonear to deaf

RESPITED.
Rca's Sentence Suspended
TO May 10Th.
The Immense Crowd Gathered Last
Friday in Pulaski
Disappointed.

People commenced to gather in
Pulaski last Thursday from all the
adjoining counties and Friday
morning they came in droves and
wapon-loads to witness the hanging
of W w. Rea for the murder of
Jas. +. Goodrum. Gov. Hawk ms
did not grant the respite until
Thursday morning within a half
hour of train time and the sheriff of
Davidson county was in the act of
starting with Rea for the depot.
The CITIZEN of last week was there
lore unable to give the news which
would have kept many people at
home, and although it spread rap
idly through the country, the peo
pie got the imp ession that it was
circulated to mislead them and
many came to town to witness the
hanging. 1t was known early
Thursday morning by a dispatch to
Sheriff Arrowsmith, bHt even this
was disbelieved, and the anxious
visitors were so persistent in cling
ing to the idea that they were be-
ing gulled that some of those who
knew that a respite was actually
granted spread all kinds of rumors
through the crowd and kept it eX-
cited and many of them rushing
from this point to that to catch a
sight of mythical gallows or the
prisoner who was said to be coming
on the next train. 1t was not right
to mislead the people, but it was
impossible to stop it, and hence the
crowd was little less entertained
than if it had witnessed the dread
full spectacle that drew such large
numbere to town.
Gov. Hawkins has rot given the
slightest Indication Of yielding to
the pressing appeals for respite,
until it was given up that he
would not interfere. On Wednes-
day evening it was announced to
Rea finally, it was thought, that,
the governor would not interfere.
He had not broken DOWN until then,
but this announcement put hope to
flight and he realized the fortunes of
impending death. As last resort
he wrote the governor an agonizing
letter, impioriRg him by the memo
ry of the wife and little children
that had lately duplicated his mer-
cy to grant him short time to pre-
pare his soul for eternity. 1t was
evident thai be was unprepared.
His persistence ia declaring his ia
nocence and his unceasing efforts to
enlist sympathy and secure a com
mutation had employed all his
thoughts, and the encouragement
he got from reporters and visitors
had fed his hopes so that he had
never realized that he must surely
die. and when the time came it
found him unprepared, Gov. Haw-
kins yielded to this last frantic APP
peal and on Thursday issued re
spite, granting an extention of time

a stampede of the immense crowd
at the rope walking Friday showed
how incredulous the people were to
believe that the hanging had been
postponed. During the perform

and had him nearly to the Jail be-

was going on. Some one cried out,

Charles Robert Darwin, the great
scientist, died last Wednesday. He
was perhaps the deepest thinker
living and gave to the world several
works that will live always. His
name became familiar through the
foolish evolution theory exagger-
ated and attributed to him, but his
life was given to researches into the
hidden mysteries Of nature and he
developed facts of far more utility
than evolution, even if true, would
furnish. If his theory is true we
may hope to see flesh again animated
by the great soul that gave so much
to the world.
