Two Tragedies.

Under the above heading, the Nash
vile World says:
The sudden ending, by violence, of
the lives of two citizens of this State,
Saturday evening at Tracy City
and the other ON the train this side of
Chatlanooga--are events more deplora-
BILE than rare, and which is no pleas
ure, but a painful duty, to record.
Whisky and pistols is the story; they
tell the whole tale; they, with but little
variation, make up the oft recurring
tragedies which every newspaper in the
land must over and over chronicle,
When shall this narrowing record end!
Our difficulty seems to be that, by
some means. we have fallen into the be-
lief that in such cases preventive JUS
ticc is unlawful, and the astounding par.
adox exists, more or less III the public
mind, that crime and its causes may be
sanctifed by custom and placed beyond
the reach of law and justice.
Bob Reeves, who was killed on thu
train by Hawkins, and Abe Shook, WHIT
met his death at the hands of Woods
at Tracy City, were both reared at Win
chester and were the sons of highly re
spectacle parents. The former was
maa ofgood heart, noble impulses, am
generous nature. His father was an c.
tecmed citizen and his mother an exam
pie of Christian loveincss, almost Will
out parallel. Abe Shook was the so
of &. A. Shook, who lost his life man
years ago on the Se*anec coal roat
He was most estimablc citizen, Il ma
, of good habits and Christian life. Til
son was tempted and fell, as SO man
young men have fallen, and his life VIZ
ended in violence. The beroaved mott
err and sister, in their grief, can do notl

Our Cash Argument
REV ARDED!

Under our cash system We have in three

TO meet the demands OF our trade.
We don't claim to sell all the goods that
are sold here, but we still say We will make
your friends treat YOU right. Even an enemy
is your friend il be makes your friend treat
y0n right. Then how great friend must
your friend be who treats YOU right without
the making? Did you buy for 81 fourteen
pounds Of choice sugar, ten pounds of choice
coffee, or A full weight domestic nj Sc. or
best prints at &c, before we put them down?
Suppose You permit Harry to go to Your
house and take one OF your most choice
hams every wcck-how long will it be before
You would have to sell the remainder 1t dou-
bic lis valueto make good your loss? This
suits our asccxacty. Harry comes every
day-(thcre are many lIarrics.) Suppose
We load him down mot upl with 10 pound
coffee and l4-pound sugar for 81. ForSl?
Oh, no., but for the promise Of 81. No, sir (;
We can't stand it, but pass him over to our
ncighbors who take chances ON all alike with
only one consolation-that is, ii Harry don't
pay, Tom and Dick will.
We don't pretend to say all who ask for
credit will not pay. We admit that Tom and
Dick will pay, and that Harry will not
We are always busy, and to save lis We can't
know Harry from Tom and Dick. He is as
good-lookiug, and more glib on the tongue.
Now to the point: Gentlemen, two-thirds Of
you furnish the other one-third all their lux
urics, &c. This loss don't fall on Smith Len
