murIreeSDOrO News The dog,
in all likelihood, will become con-
spicuous issue in Tennessee politics
next year. The questions is wheth-
er the NANCY ours which worry
our sheep have any rights which
the law is bound to respect. Poor
Tray is good friend of man, but
he is too fond of mutton. Besides
there is too many of him. The
State is full of him and roasted lamb
Is too scarce. Let the statesmen
walk forward and evolve rem
edy. The sheep-killing dog must
go.
MurfreesbOro News: Last Satur-
day evening MI. Isaac Rosenfield,
OF this city, bought very large and
beautiful fresh-water pearl from II
negro man for which he paid one
hundred dollars. The pearl was
found in Stones river, and is per-
feet in form, color and lustre. 1t is
pronounced the finest ever found in
this river. The pearl fishing excite
ment has ben revived and an army
of fishers is destroying the unsus-
pecting muscles in search of the
gems.
Covington Call: The saw mill
men of the North are beginning to
invest their capital in Upton coun-
ty. A wealthy Indianapolis firm
will soon build large mill at
Brighton. They are buying all the
timber they can get within six or
seven miles of Brighton. MIR. E. r..
Freeman sold few days ago the
poplar timber on seven acres for
$40. 1t was such timber as was I'M
fit for farm use. 1t is rumored that
these men will also establish stave
factory at Brighton. 1t will result
in bringing several northern fami-
lies to that place.
The Murfreesboro News tells of
Cannon county farmer who makes
it point to buy Missouri wheat for
sowing, and who never sows of his
own crop. The other day he sold
his crop in Murfreesboro and en-
gagged some Missouri wheat TO be
delivered as soon as it could be
procured, for which he was to pay
fifty cents more on the bushel than
he had received for his own. A
few days afterwards he received
his seed wheat from st. Louis, but
when he opened one of the sacks he
found therein an old barlow knife
which his son had lost in helping
his father sack up his wheat for
market.
BUFFALO IN. W Daily Mercan-
tile Review: The consumption of
the famous Tennessee marble is be-
coming very large in this city, and
we understand the demand for it
throughout the country almost ex-
ceeds the supply. The resources of
this State, in its plains on the west,
its blue grass region of the central,
and its mountains and valleys of
the eastern portions, probably sur
pass any State in the Union and if
its inhabitants properly appreciate
and develop these wonderful gifts
of nature, Tennessee must soon be
the Empire State of the South.
Union City Our Country: We
know it is unpopular to advocate
dog law, yet that does not deter us
from doing our duty. We believe
that the best interest of the farming
community of Tennessee demands
that law should be enacted for
the protection of the sheep raising
interests of Tennessee, ard rigidly
enforced, if its enforcement causes
the killing of every cur in the state.
We would like 10 see the press of
the State take up this matter and
advocate its adoption.
Tribune and Sun: 1t is sugges-
ted that an excursion over the De-
Lesseps canal from Savannah to
Dyersburg be rendered the Tenne5-
see Press Association next summer.
The Secretary will please inform
the Executive Committee and let
the matter be under consideration.
Prof. GOebel's string band will fur
nish free music and most anybody
will furnish the ice water. AS the
Press Association meets at Knox
vile it is suggested that the route be
from there down the Hol-
5ton to the Tennessee, down the
to Savannah, down the
DeIiesseps canal to the Mississippi,
down the Mississippi to the mouth
of Wolf river, up Wolf river to the
Memphis water works.
Globe Democrat: Down in Tennes-
see, the Democrats do not care SO
much who shall be speaker as who
shall be clerk of the new house of
Tennessee is not
very big State, but it has a great
man in the person of ex-Congress-
man Atkins. If Mr.. Atkins can
not be member of the house, he
will at least enjoy being the hum
Die servant of that body The |
Nashville American is enthusiastic |
'Or Atkins for clerk. 1t calls him a
shining mark" and also "rIght |
power" These expressions will |
not elect him however, if ex-Rep- |
Black of Missouri, and |
Cook of Georgia, and ex-CIerk
Adams of Kentucky-three other
.andidates-know themselves.
Union City Our Country: Obion
8 one Of the best counties in any
State in the Union; her lands,
which are very rich, are well wat
ered. We rarely ever suffer from
thoughts, which often prove so dis
lstrouS to other localities. Our
imber is the finest to be found any
where: our soil produces an abund-
