alluvial lands of the Mississippi
bottom in the culture of cotton and
the attention OF farmers there will
doubtless be turned to raising fruits
and vegetables within very few
years.
But it is not In West Tennessee
alone that these experiments have
proved successful. What has been
done in Sumner and Davidson coun-
ties in an agricultural way, can GER
tainly be done in Montgomery
county and some of our farmers are
already catching onto the idea and
giving their attention to diversified
crops.

ANOTHER CYCLONE.

The Storm KING Does Deadly Work IN Ken
tucKy and Missouri.
While the vivid lightnings were
flashing about GAINESVILLE Monday
evening, Il disastrous cyclone
swept over Kentucky and destroy.
ed the town of Empire. On the day
previous terrible tornado ragged in
Missouri and did destructive work
in that State. The following is from
the Nashville Banner of Tuesday
evening.
A cyclone swept over the mining
town, Empire, KY, about O'Clock
last evening. From Conductor
LOOMS, who arrived this morning,
the following particulars were
CLEANED:
Empire is mining town where
the Empire coal comes from. There
were between fifteen and twenty
houses in the place, occupied by mi
ners and their families. A large
general store, kept by the coal COM
pany, was swept away entirely, not
a plank or a stone being left. The
goods were scattered in the woods
in every direction. Hardly house
in the place remains. Trees of the
largest size were uprooted and car
rIed some distance. Seven trees
were lodged across the track, which
were cut out of the way before Con-
ductUr LOOmis' train arrived. The
cyclone had an average width of
$50 yards. When Conductor Loom
is left two persons were known to
have been killed. The entire town
was swept away in a tWinkling,
leaving only one small house stand
ing. The destruction was complete,
trees and fences were lifted from
their places and carried several
hundred yards. a number of per-
sons arG reported missing.
IN MISSOURI.
ST.. LOUIS, May 15.-The destruc-
ton by the cyclone at Macon, Mo-,
Sunday night, seems to have been
much greater in the country than in
the city. The latest advices from
there say that for fifteen miles
southwest of Macon, the storm lev
eled everything in its track, farm
houses, owned by the following
named persons, were either entirely
demolished or very greatly DANA

Richard Beason, Westley Banta,
Chas. Busler, Thomas Banta, Evan
Summers, A. M. Smith, William
Burton, John Roth, Mr.. Shank and
Mr.. Harpe. No doubt several others
have been destroyed, but these tire
all there is any definite knowledge |
of just now. They included some
of the best farm houses in the coun- |
try. A relief meeting was held at |
Macon last night to consider the !
condition of the sufferers, and to
devise means to aid those in need |
of help. Very little damage seems
to have been done east of the city, |
at least very few reports have as yet |
been received. The damage at Oro- |
maya is estimated at $4,000.
The storm ragged fearfully in Kan
sas City and many other cities and
towns of Missouri. Much property
was destroyed and many lives lost.
The latest dispatches seem to in
dictate that the disaster will rival
the recent Mississi ppi cyclone in
the extent of its destructive work,

TO THE CHRISTIAN PUBLIC.

In the issue of the GAINESVILLE CHRONICLE
of May 18th, the Rev. A. A. Williams, pas
tor of the A. NJ. E. Zion Church, published
a card over his own name, in which he re-
fleets on the G. NJ. T.. Church. 1t IL due
therefore, to the good people of ClarksvilIe
and due to ourselves also, that we snoulu re-
ply by way of explanation,
FirSt-The officers of the G. M. Il. Church
were negotiating for a lot on the south slde
of Franklin street, east OF the double pona
upon which they designed to erect church
The owner of that lot met the undersigned
at the residence of Sandy. Falkner, ana
made verbal contract with them, IN WnlGn
he was to convey said lot TO the y Nj. r.
Church for the sum of 500 90, $50 W in adj
vance, and the remainder on time.
Second-The Rev: c. o. III. Thomas, pastor tt2T
knowledge of the above facts, went to the
owner of said lot, and offered him $500 w
for said hot, 500 90 in advance ana the re.
mainder on time, and the owner OF tle loI
accepted his proposition. ,.-
Thirdly-After all these facts had trans
pired, the officers of the G. Nj. Il. Church
purchased the lot adjoining the one Whlch
they had originally contracted for, and of
which they had been deprived w. apoFe
stated.
ed the Rev. @, o. H, Thomas as pastor OF the
4. NJ. E. Zion church in ClarksVille, and
inherited his ecclesiastical fortunes. Mr..
Williams is not cenSurable for the wrongs
of Mr. Thomas, but is simply unfortunate
in having inherited relations which place
him in the attitude of an aggresSor, and not
in the position OF the aggrieved party which
his card describes.
Fifth-We have not invited controversy,
and do not now encourage ii. We are for
peace, and with a conscience void of offenSe
toward God and man we propose to follow
the even tenor ofOur way, and honor Christ.
We have acted in good faith, and with due
respect to the golden rule in this whole af-
fair, and would admonish our brother to be
careful, lest he invoke the curse written In

Enqhsh. irish and Scotch.
London Quartely.


Looking at the population of the
three kingdoms, it may easily be
perceived that there is considerable
difference among them with respect
to temperament. The Irish are gay,
ardent; the Scotch are compare
lively cool, steady and cautious !;
the English are, perhaps, a fair av-
erage between the two. We re-
member it was not indignantly OBJ
served by a friend that an English
man thinks and speaks; Scotch
man thinks twice before he speaks,
and an Irishman speaks before he
thinks. A lady present added, "a
Scotchman thinks with his head, an
Irishman his heart" This allus-
ion to impulse operating more rap
idly than deliberation is akin to
Miss EdgewOrth's remark that an
Irishman may err with his head,
never with his heart; one truth,
however, being that he obeys his
heart, not always waiting for the
dictates of his head. Some years
ago there was caricature1 very
graphically pOrtraylng these grades
of difference in the ardOr of the
three nations. An Englishman, an
Irishman and Scotchman were
represented as looking through a
confectioner's window at a beauti-
full young woman who was serving
in the shop. "Oh!,' exclaimed Mr..
Batrick, "do let us be spending a
half crown with the dear crayture,
that we may look at her convan-
iently and have bit of chat with
her." "YOu extravagant dog"
said George, "pm sure one half the
money will do quite as well. But
let us go in by all means; she is
charming girl" "Ah wait a wee!
interposed Mr.. Andrew, "dinna we
ken it'll serve our purpose equally
weel just to ask the bonnie lassie to
gle US twa sixpence for a shilling,
and inquire where's Mr.. Thomp-
sons house, and sic like? We're
ma hungry, and may as well save
the siller."

A CURIOUS STORY.
Mr. Spencer Tells the Chiefs They
Broke Faith with Him.

Broke Faith with Him.
We should judge from the following
dispatch from Washington to the SENTINEL
last night, that the authorities at the Capt.
toll and Ex-senator Spencer are poor show
men. The people are getting sick Of this
kind Of circus:
Ex-senator Spencer, and counsel, en-
gagged in preparation, replied to the inter-
rogation of counsel for the government
that Spencer will aver that he was not hid
ing. but travelling upon important business
matters in Nevada, and when he came TO
Washington to answer to the subpoena he
remained two weeks, occupying a room at
the Arlington, near Col. Bliss, and that
the latter refused to see him. He will as
sert that he knew nothing that would be
OF value ~ evidence in regard to the case,
connected in which he was subpenaed,
and William E. Chandler, on his behalf,
made a statement to this effect to Bliss be-
fore Spencer left Washington. Spencer
will saw that the statement that he saw
Dorsey pay Brady money is false. He never,
in his recollection, saw them together.
He will saw that the Star Route investigs-
tions were gotten up at his instigation'
and upon the request Of Postmaster Gen.
eral James, and that he consented to re-
main in Washington at his own expense,
without compensation, during its pro-
gress, upon condition that be was not to
be known in the matter. He will assert
that he received q promise, both from
President Garfield and Postmaster Gen.
eral James, that his connection in the
investigation was not to be known.
