OUR NEIGHBORS' OPINIONS ON
GENERAL TOPICS

Bowling Green Gazette: II
dosen't make any difference how
she Jessie Buckner.) goes, whether
by stage or by rail, just so she goes.
Tribune and Sun: A road from
Memphis to Jackson and on to
Nashville would be one of the best
paying lines in few years in thu?
State.
Brownsville States and Bee
(Dem.): There should be some law
to abaie railroad excursions on Sun
day. Theyiare disgrace to this
civilized age.
Trenton Globe: The poorest in
vestnpnt the Republican party ever
made was when it purchased Ma
hone. Tennessee bonds would have
been Il better investment.
Gallatin Tennessean Presi-
dent Arthur and his coterie of
junketers are junketing in the fai
West. The people pay this dude
$50, 900 a year to attend TO certain
public business.
Union City Anchor: These pam
icky newspaper editors whenever
they get caught in ridiculous mis-
take, at once turn loose lot of vile
jargon and insult upon the one who
happens to know. enough to correct
them.
Chattanooga Commercial (Rep.):
n
Oping buses. John Mclean in
Cincinnati, and John Kelley in
New York, are two JOhnnieS who do
great damage to Democratic pros
poets.
Union City Our Country Ind):
The indianapolis Sentinel is trying
to work up boom for the old tick
ct of Tilden and Hendricks. If
anything would make us vote for
Hendricks, it would be for the
chance of voting for S. j. T. again.
Winchester News: The Nash
vile dailies should be supplied with
llInanncs. All three announced
that the State Prohibition Conven-
IiOn was to meet there on Thurs
day, August %, when Wednesday,
August y, was the day OF meeting.
Jackson Tribune and Sun: There
were three attempts at suicide in
Nashville last week. And still the
American persists in discussing the
tariff question and talking about
"planks' and Tout puts" and
"blasts." Blast the tariff until next
year.
Bowling Green Gazette: The
race for the United States Senator
ship is not exciting that interest the
importance of the matter demands.
The Kentucky Legislature should
see to it that Senator is elected
who is capable and worthy of the
high place. Neither II denagOgue
nor an incompetent should be chOs-
ell.
Waverly Times Journal, Saluta-
tory: We want to be further UNI
derstood as not being n political pa
per-We leave the dalies 70 be po-
litical-the Times-Jourral will be
an advocate of the Democratic par
ty, but it will be independent
enough to "speak out i'm meeting"
against anything the party may
advocate that we think wrong from
principle.
Murfreesboro News: The pos
session of a few almighty dollars
makes some people think that the
world literally belongs to them. No
matter how intelligent and honest
and energetic man or woman may
be, it he or she be poor, they are in
nine cases out of ten tabOoed from
the inner circle of this damnable,
questionable new world society.
Elkton (Ky.) Register Ind):
There Is some talk of cunteSting the
election in some counties in the
State. If all the successful candi-
dates, whose election was secured
or aided by illegal voting, were de-
prived of Il seat in the approaching
General Assembly of Kentucky,
the seating and unSeating would be
il heavy item of business for the
next legislature.
Union City Our County: The
sold man" of the Avalanche SAYS
Galloway, of The Appeal, is no lon
ger haInpered by a peace bond, and
rather Invites the fighting colonel
to call and make mince meat of the
editor of the Avalanch. That is
cruel in the "oid man" TO keep
prOdding the ancient warrior, when
he knows that Col. G. has fore
sworn the code.
Brownsville Democrat Immi-
grafton and capital are essential
conditions of the development of
the resources of the town and coun-
ty, but immigration and capital
cannot be secured without effort.
Success in every department of life
is conditioned on persistent effort.
1.-The gods sell us all good things for
toll"
Pulaski Citizen Commissioner
McWhirter has succeeded in max
ing an exhibit from Tennessee that
eclipses all other Southern States and
has called out expressions of sur
prise and admiration from thnus-
ands of visitors. The legislators
who niggardly refused 10 allow him
any money to do this great work !
must feel wOndrously ashamed of
themselves.
Nashville American: The friends
IF the American in Athens, Ala,
have extended to it an invitation to |
be present at the grand cold water |
picnic to be given in that city on
Tuesday, the 18th inst.
MurfreesborO News: 1t doesn't
make an ounce of difference, Wheth. |
er that picnic is "grand" or not,
sufficient for the occasion is it to saw
that the "rOld-water" part so par |
alyZed the editorial corps that they
will not recover i'm time to lend |
their presence to the ''jOyous" Oc-
casion. Gold WATER" ha ha!
Franklin Review and Journal
(Bate DENY: The distinguished ed
itOr of the Shelbyville Commercial
is respectfully informed that the
bOnd-holders will never live to see
the day when they will get more
than 50-3.
ShelbyviIle Commercial Green
back: And we can assure our
able but vascilliating contemporary
that they will never live to see the
day they will get that much, unless
they make it out of the railroads.
