Settled.-The Shaw Mannakee contest
over the County Commissionershph has been
definitely settled. The judges of the pri-
mary election returned Mannakee elected
by one majority. Mr. Shaw was not salts
fed with the return Of the judges, and, with
the consent of Mannakee, recount was had
several days after the return day, which re-
suited in favor of Shaw by majority of six
votes. With this recount made by friends
selected by Shaw and Mannakee the latter
was not satisfied In accordance with the
request Of the contestants the State Central
Committee for the county and the County
Executive Committee had a joint session or
Monday, when another count was had, CIV
ing Mannakee q majority of twenty-four
At the instance of friends, and after some
deliberation, Mr. Mannakee declined the
nomination, and in graceful card TO the
public through the committee requested
that the name OF Mr. Shaw be substituted
tor his on the ticket, and that his friends
(Mannakec's) would give il and hun a cor
dial support. A matter calculated to give
rise 10 much uneasiuess and bad feeling has
thus been harmoniously settled.

GRAPE FRUIT.-As some of our Florika
exchanges are reporting wonderful things
of this fruit, the DeLand Agricmtmsa
rises to remark that, "they will be SILL
more astonished to know that the seefs
of the same fruit will grow and blosstan
inside of the fruit itself when overripS"
GEORGIA PoTAToEs. - Complaint rs
made, according to some of our exchanges,
that with an immense crop of their fav H.
ite "yellow yams " on hand, the Geor-
gians find no demand for them in the
Northern market, the Nothern people
preferring the dryer and less palatakle
varieties. A cotemporary suggests that
they do not know how to cook the yellxw
yam up there, and adds: ga well-seasorhd
yam baked slowly, as it should beE is
really more fruit than vegetable The
time will come when they will be 4 Re-
pared in this way, and by being put mp
in sealed cans will become an importSnt
article of trade to the North as we'll las
Europe" They are being put up in cans
already in some parts of the country.
THE SILK WORM INDUsrRY.-On lhis
industry Col. Dennet recently remarked
Of the people of the Mississippi valluy
Many have been planting mulberry trJss,
but will not use more than a few tllk
worms for some years. This industrts'is is
often injured by writer's stating that ii is
very simple, easy and profitable. Per
sons take it up who have no experiee ece,
make many grand mistakes for want tf
better knowledge of the business; the
worms are not fed, are exposed to Odd
and dews-they perish from cold, burger
and disease, and then the experimep&ers
say they have tried the silk worm enter-
prise and find it troublesome humbug.
To succeed with silk worms one must have
agood knowledge of the business and then
attend to it.

GOdey'S Lady'S Book.

Godey's Lady's Book for june
completes its fifty-third year, the
oldest magazine in our country {; es
tablished before the use of enVel.
opes or postage stamps, before the
introduction of steam printing,
steam railways, steamships in this
country, or steamboats, to any ex.
tent, before the invention of steel
pens, biography, telephones, sew
ing machines, electic lights, and a
hundred and one other prominent
inventions of the age.
Though SO old, it comes to us I'M
der its new management as the
brightest and the best number in
our remembrance. Each month
marks a decided improvement, and
we cannot Say more for it than to
tell our readers that it will bear the
most critical examination in COM
parison with any other Fashion
Magazine.
We certainly think that maya
zine that has lived through the last
half-century is entitled to the res
pect and patronage of the readers of
the present, and especially so with
GOdey's, replete as it is with fash
ion, news and stories.

Editor Chronicles:
HOpkinsville has been quiet of
late. The Democratic Convention
is the only recent happening of gen.
eral interest. Our delegates re-
turned the latter part of last week,
well pleased with the result of the
Louisville convention, and with
more fervent admiration for our
fellow citizen, the Hon. Jas. A.
Mckenzie. His speech in nOmina-
ting j. Proctor Knott, was cOnsid-
er the best of the convention, and
one of the finest efforts of his life.
The burnt district is being rap
idly rebuilt. The business houses
in process of erection, are all that is
necessary, without being so eXpen-
sive as to embarrass the finances of
the city. The season is now at hand
when cur schools will close. The
public schools closed last Friday, a
month earlier than usual, because
of want of funds. The Commence
ment sermon of Bethel Female Col
lege will be preached next Sunday
evening by Rev. H. L. Kutchen of
Nashville. The following Wednes-
day and Thursday night, will be
devoted to the vocal and instru-
mental concert, commencement eX-
cercises proper. Eleven young la
dies will graduate.
All of these exercises will take
place in Hollands Oprea House, one
of the finest theatres in the State,
and uneXcelIed for neatness of de-
sign and acoustic properties. These
seasons are always
the occasion of much pleasure, and
attract a number of visitors to the |
city.
Those of our brethren who have |
been attending the Southern Baptist |
which met at Waco,
have returned home with big ideas
Of Texas and the hospitality of its
people.

THE WEATHER.

The oldest inhabitant has been
called into requsition again. The
present generation never saw any
thing like the weather of Monday
and Tuesday and the "ancient pre-
varicator" had to dive deep into
his "reminiscences of we olden time
to find its parallel.
The cold weather came with the
rain storm. Sunday evening the
thermometer had dropped consider
ably below the high figures at
which it had ranged all the week
and on the two succeeding days it
registered as low as forty. Tuesday
night the clouds broke away and
Wednesday morning there were
signs of a slight frost. This is the
doint on which the antiquated in
pividual above mention has given
his accustomed evidence. The old
fossil says this was the first frost in
Montgomery county, so late in the
season, since 1916, which was pract-
ically a year without Il Summer.
AS it was, the frost was very light
and did no further damage than to
nip the tender leaves of garden
plants and exposed geraniums moth
ing was killed. The full foliage of the
trees would have prevented any
damage to fruit if it could have
been injured at its present advanced
state. The. fires and Overcoats that
came into requsition Monday and
Teusday were in striking contrast
with Summer dress in which Dame
Nature has clothed the fields and
forests. 1t was Winter in the lap OF
Spring, literary, both were here at
once and some of the colored popu-
lation began to believe that the
time had come when no sign shall
mark the seasons.
But while this Sunny section has
been overcast by cold clouds that
almOstbelied its name, the North
has suffered an experience proportu-
natelyseye: e. The following flo the
Banner of Tuesday evening will
give some idea of what sort of
weather they had in Indiana and
Ohio.
Heavy storms swept over the
northern states yesterday and last
night, snow falling to the depth of
twelve inches in Northern Ohio,
breaking down trees and doing
great dammage to property. A dis
pach from Muncie, Ind, says the
snow covers the ground thirty miles
south of that place and that the
streams are out of banks. AT Cincin-
natl the rain commenced early Sat
urday night, with a thunderstorm,
and has continued since, intermin-
gIed with snow. The thermOme-
ter stood 800 at 10 o'clock last night,
and the snow and rain continued |
with no sign OF abatement.

J. o. RUST.


The following resolutions were
incorporated into the platform OF
the Democratic State Convention of
Kentucky, recently in session at
Louisville.
THAT the Democracy of Ken
lucky in convention assembled
reatfirm our undated confidence in,
and affection for, the principles and
policy embodied in the organic
law of the Democratic party adopt
Ell at the National Democratic Con-
ventiOn held at st. Louis in 1876,
and ratified at Cincinnati in 1880.
THAT believing the highest Sc
curity of popular government de-
ponds upon the intelligence of the
people, we declare ii to be the duty
of the Legislature of this Common
wealth to foster wise and efficient
system of public schools.
3-That our laws in relation to
revenue and taxation should be so
framed us to secure equality III rate
of assessments as nearl y as possible,
and to insure the collection of reve-
nue. in the most convenient and in
expensive manner.
THAT a convention TO amend
our present State Constitution
should be called as soon as practical
BILE under the forms OflaW, in order
TO bring our constitution in line
with the progress of the age.
5-We favor development of the
resources of the State by friendly
legislation, inviting among us cap
ital and immigration from abroad.
Eve send words of cheer and
congratulation to the Democracy of
the Union on the magnificent pros
pect of victory in the Presidential
election, and we assure them that,
as heretofore, the Old Guard of this
commonwealth will be at the front
of the battle in the fight for the
GOOD of the whole people of our Re"
public.

IMMIGRATION.

We are glad to know that our en-
tcrprising tOwnsman, Mr.. Daniel
Bond, has been appointed GeneraI
Land and Immigration agent Of the
l.. Il n. railroad from GAINESVILLE to
Memphis. He is the right man in
the right place, He possesses supe-
riOr qualifications for the position
and no better selection could have
been made. Mr.. Bond is now in pO-
SiUiOn to secure special rates for
CmigrantS and if our people will
give him their hearty support, the
tideOf immigration may be turned in
this direction to build up our waste
places and infuse new life into all
branches of business. Nothing can
he accomplished, either by the rail-
road company or Mr.. Bond, without
the cooperation of our land owners.
Let our people, who are zealOusly
advocating Immigration movement
as the best means of developing the
resources of our country, show their
faith by their works, and sell their
lands at reasonable rates. Good men
from the North have several times
been driven away by fabulous pri-
We are also glad to know that
Mr.. Bond has been appointed to
this position. We have't the pleas
ure of a personal acquaintance with
the gentleman but the Democrat
says "he Is the right man in the
right place" and we consider it
gladstone intelligence to know that
the Louisville X Nashville railroad
is moving in this important matter.
Such IA movement promises much
benefit to this country and the rail
road should have the hearty cooper
alton of the people along its line.
This country has suffered of late
years from emigration while inn
migration has brought the great
West into power and prosperity.
This state of things can and must
bv altered. The Illinois Central and
the Louisville and Nashville roads
that are now making efforts to pour
a tide of immigration into Tennes-
see are powerful corporations, their
lines cross the State through three
different sections and with the aid
of the people they will no doubt De
successful in accomplishing much
good.

Rather CoStU.

The British Government paid
nearly four and a half million dol
lars for the support of the royal
family during the fiscal year which
ended March 3lst. According to
the ideas that prevail on this side
of the Atlantic that sort of a show
is more expensive than profitable.
Nobody imagines now that the
royal family, not even the Queen,
has any real station to fill or duties
to perform. We should suppose
that our British cousins could dis
pense with so costly an ornament
without serious Inconvenience. En-
gland has really Outgrown mon
archy, the crown serves only NOM
inal purpose and is like those men,
bers of all animals body which ex-
ist but have passed into disuse by
the higher evolution of the animal.
