Our quiet little village is wax
ing up little. Lumber is being
hauled to build a church and
schoolhouse; lot has been decided
by w. II. Stone and wife below
Sherrills store house and nearly
81, 900 subscribed to build it. We
hope to have it erected before the
hot, long days of summer, so our
fair ones can give a few entertain
ments to aid in furnishing the in
terror.
Sheriff. & Co. are adding to
their store house considerably and
are driving a very brisk trade so
far the present year. The egg
crop has been the largest ever
known.
The health of the surrounding
country is good, only a case of
mulnps now and then stealing a
march on one another, but as yet all
the cases are light. Doctors com
plain of nothing to do. To day
they are gone some miles in the
country to make very serious OPP
Grafton on Mrs. Compton. DR..
Jones is to operate. Some have,
grave fears of failure to restore
the patient or give permanent
relief
Young folks have played out
with US, all having gone to more
prosperous places.
JAS Scoggins, Sherrilps former
clerk, has gone to Fayetteville and
engaged with Boyce & Blake. R.
r. Mcclure has taken his place
with us and is striving to make a
number l clerk. We do not like to
give up our old and tried friends.
Miss Madeira Simms, formerly
of this place, is now a resident of
Temple, Texas, and gives almost
fabulous description of the growth
of that infant wonder.
Miss Annie B. Smith of Cy-
ruston was here last week, and sue
ceeded in making up a school to
begin the first of March. Glad she
as there has been rather
an underhand effort made by some
to draw away pupils from US and by
those who ought to be helping to |
build up home institutions, but the
one has forgotten that he
was once young but now. Here

all we can for you, believing, as we
do, in patronizing home institu-
tons. Will write again soon.

The North American Review FOL
March opens with an article on "Money

| brings to the discussion of that hack
! neyed subject a contribution full o.
| originality, freshness and keen insight
he points out with admirable clearness
one source of our political ills, and pro-
poses a remedy that seems both emf
nently practicable and efficient. Rob-
ert 8. Taylor writes of the ''Subjuga-
ton of the Mississippi" work which,
in his opinion, and in that of the Mis-
sissippi Commission, of which he is q
member, can be accomplished only by
employing, for the purpose OF deepen
ing and Strengthening the channel, the
forces developed by the river itself.
Moncure d. Conway contributes q very
striking study of Gladstone as man
and statesman, showing how even the
more or less sinister moral and intellec-
tual traits of his nature, quite as
much as his pre-eminent native force
and elevation of character, conspire to
make him the foremost Englishman OF
his time. Hon. George w. Julian's
RAILWAY Influence in the Land Office"
is q grave, judicial exposure of the prac-
tices which, against the manifest intent
of the law and the determinations of
the highest courts, have won for corpo-
rations millions upon millions of acres

If there were any equities against
the interest on the state debt proper
bonds, why did they not also affect
the principal? If we owed the
bonds in full, did we not also owe
the interest in full? we believe the
interest is too high, but that gives
US no right to repudiate part of it.
The platform called for the payment
Of this debt in full, and that's an
end of it. There is no higher au-
thority for this legislature and it is
absolutely bound by the platform.
When Tennessee's credit is better
established, perhaps bonds at lower
rate may be negotiated and these
bonds called in, and until it is done
in this way there is no legitimate
process to get rid of the rate of in
terest now called for. The settle
ment as proposed by the platform
be called reputation, but if
this interest is scaled it will be out
right and outrageous reputation
without shadow of excuse or au-
thority.

WHISKY WINS.
The Four Mile Law Does Not
Protect a Taxing District.

Lebanon, Tenn, was made a
Taxing District under the act of
1881 and her saloons closed ri in
obedience to the intent of the act.
Jack Lea, a saloon keeper, brayed
the law and broke it and was in
dicted, tried and convicted of sell
ing liquor within four miles Of an
incorporated institution of learning.
He appealed to the supreme court
and on last Saturday Judge Coop
er delivered an opinion reversing
the Judgment and remanding. The
four-milc law was passed in 1877
and the first section made it a mis-
demeanor to sell liquor within four
miles of an incorporated school.
The second section says: "This act
shall not apply to the sale of such
liquors within the limits of any in
corporated town. The supreme
court now holds that the conversion
of an Incorporated town into a tax
ing district is only changing it's
form ofincorporation and that it still
remains an incorporated town, and
is therefore exempted from the pro-
hibitory effect of the act of 1881
under the saving provision of the
second section. Lcbanon's trans
mogrifcation went through two sta
ges. First, the charter was abol-
ished under the act above cited and
it was remanded into civic chaos.
Then it was reincorporated under
the act of same session into a tax
ing district. By this last act she
brought herself back again under
the law of 1877 and its second sec
ton protects the liquor sellers.
So, to abolish the charter of a
town is to get rid of saloons; but to
reincorporate under the name of
taxing. district is to license them
again. If, therefore, Lynnville or
Elkton would close their saloons
they will abolish their charters.
They cannot then form themselves
into taxing districts, for that will
be to reincorporate and thus license
saloons again. A town must there
fore remand itself into the country
and have no form of govern
ment or separate existence in order
to come under the beneficent effect
of the four mile law.

Settled Bexond aDonht.

No one questions the fact that more
cases of whites, suppression, irregulari-
ties and uterine distractions of every
kind. are being daily cured by DIR. j.
Bradfield's Female Regulator, than by
all other remedies combined. Its sue
cess is beyond precedent. Thousands
of certificates from women everywhere
pour in upon the proprietor. The at
tention of prominent medical men has
been aroused in behalf of this wonder
ful compoud, and the most successful
practitioners use it. If women suffer
hereafter it will be their own fault.
ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. 3, 1879.
I have used Bradfield's Female Regula-
tor and find it all that is claimed for it.
1t has proven in my hands complete
success in the treatment of all those
diseases peculiar to females. In a
practice of fifty years have found
equal to it.

knights OfPYthias.

Messrs. Geo. T. Riddle and Laps
d. McCord spent nearly all of last
week in attendance upon the grand
lodge Knights Of Pythias at Leba-
non. The business transacted would
not be of interest to the general
reader. The order is on a good
footing in Tennessee, steadily adj
vancing, and the great interest
manifested by representatives served
to show how warmly they are at
tached to the noble principles upon
which the order is founded. Jack
son was selected as the next place
of meeting. The following were the
officers elected for the ensuing term.
The treasury of the order is well
filed and it will be observed that
the funds are now located in Pu-
laski:
Grand Chancellor, W. r. Carlile, Chat
tanooga; Grand Vice Chancellor, Geo.
E. Seay, Gallatin; Grand Prelate, j. II.
Leibkeman, Memphis; Grand Master OF
Exchequer, L. ID. MrCord, Pulaski :;
Grand Keeper of Records and Seal, r..
L. G. White, Lebanon; Grand Master al
Arms, w. a. Wade, Milan Grand Inner
Guard, ]. g. Schuttee, jackson; Grand
Outer Guard, L. B. Goldsmith, Stanton :;
R. L. G. White was reelected Supreme
Representative for four years.
Lotus Lodge, Lebanon, has one
of the handsomest halls we ever
were in, all paid for, and the order
there is advancing rapidly. Gu
Tuesday evening the grand lodge
was given a banquet by the resident
lodge, which proved to be one OF
the most enjoyable and elegant
affairs we ever participated in. DR..
r. L. G. White, G. X. r. S., who is
specially and delightfully."- at homo
in all matters that pertain to hospi
tality and require suavity and ex-
hibit gracious sodality, was detailed
as arbiter elegantjaruna, and right
royalty did he dispense his courte-
sizes. A handsomely printed pro
gram announced the sentiments and
responses with which the feast was
interlarded. Wine was elided from
the nenu, but the participants lacked
not inspiration and many we're the
happy hits and beautiful things
said.
We shall long remember Lebanon
and her knights who could make s
man forget he was in a four mile
town. Our obligation lies specially
to Mr. Dixie Williams and his |
beautiful wife, whose hospitality we !
enjoyed.
We shall not omit to say that
Stonewall Lodge, Pulaski, is in a
growing condition and keeps the
fires bright upon her altar.
Long live Pythianism, Lebanon
and White.

The Great Floods.

The Ohio river was higher last
week than ever known before. I'm
mense loss of property and life is
reported. The water swept through
and over whole towns and cities,
carrying away houses, factories,
bridges, etc, in its mad torrent.
1t was as bad at Louisville and the
loss there will foot up fully $780,
900. All up and down the Ohio the
streams were all swollen at once and
came together and thus formed the
unprecedented rise. The Missis-
sippi is now on a boom, but it is
hoped it may be able to carry off
the volume of water, though much
damage is reported from places
where the levees were broken last
year

We very seriously doubt the
propriety of the proposed railroad
commission. 1t creates three new
offices for the people to support and
it will only aggravate the railroads.
If they are aggravated up to the
point to charge as much for freight
as their charters allow, then we
will hear loud, long complaint sure
enough. We do not see any sense
in crying down the railroads be-
cause they are making money.
They are doing us as muchgood as
they do themselves and all this
crusade against them is born of
demagogy and the howl kept up by
little politicians because they think
it is popular.

The"NO Fence'' Law.

Senator Sherwood has recently in
troduced a bill in the legislature to
enact a stock law. 1t provides that
on application of seventy-five citi-
zens in any civil district an cleo
ton shall be ordered to ascertain
the will of the voters, and if carried
the district be enclosed with out
side fences and gates, within this
district every one shall be requir-
ed to keep up their stock and no
fences shall be necessary to pro
tect crops. We are not acquainted
with the practical working of such
a law to discuss intelligently its
practicability and necessity, but
certain it is that many of the farm
ers of the state are urgently in ia
vor of the passage of the mo fence"
law. A number of the prominent
farmers of this county have lately
spoken to us upon the subject and
seem very anxious that the legisla-
ture take some active steps toward
the passage of some law upon the
subject. Apropos Of the Sherwood
bill the Gallatin Examiner says:
This is a move in the right direc-
ton and foreshadows the day when
no fences at all will be required to
protect poperty. We have often
urged upon our legislature the
policy Of a mo fence law" to be
operative .at least in the densely
populated portions of the state, and
are convinced more and more every
year of its soundness. We hope that
the above is the beginning of this
new policy and that the time is near
ut hand when our farmers will he
relieved ofthe enormous expenses of
making and keeping up fences to
barricade their farms against those
whose stock are grown by straying
all over the country.- GAINESVILLE |

The legislative report was mac
curate which said that Capt. Ballen-

ton, but this correction comes di-
rectly from Mr.. Ballentine himself.
