THE PLATFORM,

which Is very vOluminous, it afiirms the
platform of 1880; declares in favor of pro-
hibition, both constitutional and statuary:
condemns all arbitrary discrimination of
pools and combinations which prevents
competition or works injustice to COM
munity at competing or non-competing
points; favors law prohibiting the Civ
ing or receiving of railroad passes by any
state officers; declares in favor of pro-
tective tariff, revision of the patent
laws, the maintenance and enforce
ments of laws for the protection
OF northern cattle from contagious dis
eases; asks modification of the pension
laws so that the payment of pensions shall
commence from date of disability, and
that pension money or homesteads pur-
chased Herewith shall be exempt from
attachment; to favor such amendments to
the criminal code as will make more GER
tain and speedy the conviction of crimi-
mails; pride themselves on the fact that
the state is free from public debt; CON
graduates Governor Sherman and the
state officers on their efficient manner of
public affairs, and approves
the administration of President Arthur.
The license republicans feel very sore
over the result and predict certain defeat,
while the prohibitionists are very iubilant
over the result.

District Conference.

The GAINESVILLE District Confer
ence was formerly convened in the
Methodist church in this city, the
Goth. The opening sermon was
preached Wednesday night by Rev.
w. G. Hensley. The presiding ell
der, Rev. Jno. p. McFerrin, called
the Conference to order and filled
the chair, ex officio, until relieved
by Bishop J. G. Keeuer Friday
morning. Mr.. M. l.. Melville, of
Cedar Hill, was chosen secretary.
Yesterday all the preachers in the
District were present except one,
and about half the lay delegates
were in attendance. Thursday was
consumed in organization, appoint
ment of committees, &c. Yester-
day the spiritual condition of the
church was considered.

Warts to Move South.

We received, Monday, letter
from Mr.. Alfred Lawrence, of the
firm of Lawrence & Gracey, furni-
ture manufacturers, Blythe, Onta-
rio, saying: "Please send me copy
ofyour paper. l wish to move South
and want to take representative
paper for six months" We know
nothing of Mr.. Lawrence further
than his letter indicates, but we
can say to him that we will be very
glad to welcome all good citizens
in this community no matter where
they come from. Our climate is
much milder than that of his pres
ent home in British America, and
our country generally is more prom
Using. TO give him an idea of what
sort of place GAINESVILLE is, we refer
him to an editorial in this issue,
headed Factories Wanted Here"
A glance at the State news we pub
Iish will show him that Tennessee
is thoroughly awake, and that her
great resources are being rapidly
developed. The South now is offer
ing the very best opportunities for
the investment of capital and much
money is being put into Southern
industries. We claim, and the
claim is well founded. that CIarks-
vile is one of the most promising
towns in the South and has no SUI
perior as desirable place of resi-
dence.

S153.650.

The figures that head this article
show the amount subscribed for the
bonds of the new railroad. The
enterprise may now be announced
success and the committee start
in few days for Kentucky. We
do not mean to say that the books
are closed to GAINESVILLE and Mont
gomery county. This is by no
means true, but to the contrary,
large subscriptions are still expected
from this city and section. The
ability of Montgomery county citi-
zens to subscribe is by no means ex-
hausted. There are wealthy men
in and out of GAINESVILLE who have
not yet put down cent to the en-
terprise who, of course, will SUBJ
scribe. Some men in inaccessible
parts of the county, have not yet
been approached by the committee.
THE INVESTMENT.
We have urged that money put
into these bonds was a good invest
ment. We meant it in good earnest
and the facts justify us in asserting
this truth. We heard a gentle
man say yesterday that he would
subscribe for bonds through a sense
of duty to the community, but he
expected no benefit except the incl
dental benefits that would necessa-
rily flow from the road being
built. The gentleman showed a
commendable spirit in subscribing
with the views he entertains, but
his liberality will be rewarded be-
You'd his hopes. If the railroad is
built so as to confer incidental ben
efits" will it not have to pay the in
terest on its first mortgage bonds in
order to exist ? If such interest is
not paid, of course, the bondsmen
will fOreclose their mortgage on 100
miles of road and 100000 acres of
mineral lands. In such an event
the lands alone will pay the money
invested if they can be sold for 81
per acre. The money is only paid
out as the railroad is built. In
other words, the road is delivered
completed when the money is
parl. People are inclined to regard
a projected enterprise as shadowy.
1t hasn't tangible shape and they
don't see where the money is to
come from, but the fact about the
bonds of this new road is that the
is to be made in the
bonds of a road already constructed,
for the money is not to be paid un-
til the road is completed. The way
these bonds are secured and the fact
that they bear 6 per cent. interest,
to be paid semi-annually, inclines
us to believe that they are really,
in all earnest, good investment.

The Criminal Court.

The Criminal court has been in
session this week, Judge G. W. Ty-
Ter presiding. The docket had been
uninteresting, in the main, until
the Phillips case was reached We'd
nesday. Some time was spent in
making up the jury. The eXamI-
nation of witnesses was begun
Thursday and the case is not likely
to be concluded before Monday.
This is the third trial of the case,
the jury having failed to agree on
two former trials. The style of the
case on the docket is State of Ten
nessee VS.. w. J. Phillips, indicted
for murder. The name of the per-
son killed was Nick Hethman,
and the killing occurred at the toll
gate near GAINESVILLE on the Port
Royal turnpike, more than year
ago. The present jury are all from
the SOuthside; their names are.

Mr.. Sam. Brantly, of Stewart
county, is reported to have been
drowned in the Mississippi river
about & miles below Cairo, recently.
We have this information from Mr..
c. II. Bailey, the local agent of the
Presbyterian Mutual Life Insurance
Company in this city. Mr.. Brantly
came to GAINESVILLE about two
months ago and insured his life
with that company for $4,000 for
the benefit of his sisters. Mr.. Bal
ley had a letter Wednesday from
the relatives of the deceased inclO-
sing letter from J. NJ. Scraggs and
Zeb McNicholds of Galloway coun-
ty, Ky, giving an account of the
drowning. These parties were in
company with. Brantly at the time
of his alleged death, and state that
while the three were on their way
to some lake on a fishing and hun
ting excursion, one of them shot a
wild goose which fell in the river.
Brantly got in "a little water craft"
to try to secure the goose, fell into
the water and was drowned. At
last accounts the body had not been
recovered.

Messrs. B. NJ. DeGraffenreid and
f. NJ. Hall have purchased the
Democrat. Mr.. NJ. V. Ingram re-
tires with this issue, and the new
firm takes charge as editors and pro-
prietors next week. The gentle
men are we'll known young attor-

withfhe right hand of fellowship.

Our semi-weekly contemporary
is going to distinguish itself by
"big issue" Tuesday. The object of
the mammoth sheet will be to pro-
mote the interest of the new rail-
road scheme, and to advertise the va
riOus business enterprises of Clarks-
vile. Extra work and pains are
being bestowed on this issue, and it
will no doubt reflect high credit on
the editors and managers of the
journal.

HE HsnetnhLe and Beef Market.

The season is far enough advanced
for the city markets to be well filled
with early vegetables, but they are
very scarce and hard to get. This
may be, in a degree, owing to the
late Spring, but we believe there
are plenty of vegetables in the coun-
try if the people would bring them
in. We would advise the farmers
that there is a ready sale ut a good
price for all kind of garden produce
in GAINESVILLE now, and some
ready cash can be picked up by
bringing in their vegetables.
Some people are inclined to ac-
cuse the GAINESVILLE butchers of eX-
tOrtion. They argue that the diff
ference in the price of bulk beef and
the way it is retailed, allows for a
considerable margin. Beef in gross
can be bought here at from 4 cts to
8 cts per pound, but the butchers
retail it to their customers at from
10 cts TO ~ cts per pound, and 10
cts for a single steak.

DANGEROUSLY Illness of Rev. Vim. Burr.

Dangerously Illness of Rev. Vim. Burr.
We clip the following from the
Franklin Review and Journal. 1t
is an extract from Il letter written
from Capt. FurgersOn of MOntgom-
ery. Ala, to a gentleman in Frank
lin. Mr.. Burr has many friends in
GAINESVILLE and vicinity who will
regret to hear of his serious illness
and who sincerely hope for his re-
covery:
"Mr. Burr is quite sick, and we
dread the worst result. The physl-
clans hope to postpone the evil day,
but think it will not be long. Last
night he had terrible attack of
congestion of the lungs, and 1t was
a hard struggle to bring him
through. We are doing our best;
our best physicians are giving him
constant attention, and if human
love and labor can save him he Will
be saved. But to be candid, L fear
that his life can be prolonged only
a few months. His lungs are in a
terrible condition, and nothing but
absolute quiet and the pure air OF
the n. G.. mountains can do him
GOOD, We will work to pull him
through this spell and take him
there-and it may be that good
Providence will spare him for the
sake of humanity. He has every
attention from our kind friends ana
neighbOrs.

There was a slight frost in this
place Tuesday night that did no
material harm to fruit or gardens.
! The Nashville Banner of Wednes-
day says farmers from various parts
of the country report that the frost
did not jnfiict much injury on fruit.
The strawberries escaped all dam
age. A gentleman from Gallatin
informed the Bonner that there was
heavy frost in Sumner county but
he couldn't report the extent of the
damage. The Courier-Journal of
Wednesday says, specials from
Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio and vari-
Gus sections of the South indicates a
frost that cannot be called general.
The fruit is only slightly damaged.
In Georgia, however, about one
third of the early peach crop is in
jured. At this point, last night, the
Signal Service predicted a heavy
dew, but no frost, for this morning.
