Some of our exchanges are making sport
of the wish expressed by the recent conven-
ton of colored editors at st. Louis that a
capital N should be used in spelling the
word "Negro," and the question is sarcas-
tically asked whether "colored" shall be
hereafter spelled with a capital G.? A mo-
ment's consideration will show that the
comparison is not apt. NEGRO" is the
name of race of people, and the same rule
which requires a capital initial for Cauca-
sian, Indian, Monaghan, ETC., entities Ne
gro to capital Min fact, the use of any
other is grossly incorrect. The word "col-
ered will not take q capital until "red,"
"white" or "yellow are similarly favored

A Sad Death.

We are called upon this week to
chronicle one of those melancholy
visitations of the grim destroyer when
he comes

to claim young and hopeful life.
Miss Emma Edmondson DAILY died at
her home on the Southside Tuesday,
July 18th, aged q years and IL days.
She was the daughter of Mr.. John
EdmOndson, and was married on Feb
ruary 22d of last year to Mr.. Sam. b.
Daily. The young couple begun life
under happy auspices, and their pros
poets of bright future gives a deeper
sadness to this untimely taking off, that
followed so close on the event of their
union. The deceased connected her
self with the Methodist church in her
early years and had led and exemplary
Christian life. She was fully aware of
her approaching end, and bore all of
her sufferings with fOrtitude, patience
and resignation. Her death is very
deeply regretted by a large number of
friends and relatives.
The funeral took place at the resi-
dence "Wednesday afternoon and was
largely attended. The last sad rites

The Farmers Convention.

The farmers convention for Mont.
gomery county which will assemble
in GAINESVILLE to-day Saturday. is a
meeting of much consequence and
we hope will be largely attended
Many important results are to be
expected from thorough organiza-
ton of the agriculturalist and the
work should be entered into with u
zest that will give it force and vital
ity. The organization should be
such as to reach into all parts of the
county and embrace all branches of
farming. While this meeting will
be participated in only by those who
are directly interested in the culti-
walton of the soil, it should receive
the encouragement of all other
classes of business and industry. 1t
is trite but true that farming is the
sub-stratta all other emplOyments.
A country can never prosper while
its farming interest lags and it is
very evident, therefore, that every
possible aid should be given to ag-
ricultnral advancement.
We congratulate not only the far
mers, but the country at large, on
this move in the right direction and
hope that it will turn out as happily
as is anticipated.

What the Commission IS DoinQ.

Col. John II. Savage was inter
viewed i'm Nashville recently by an
American reporter.
"Colonel," asked the reporter,
tell me what you have lately found
out concerning the railroads that
you think will interest the public"
The Colonel replied that he and
his colleagues, Gen. Gordon and
Capt. Turley, had lately been trav-
cling in various parts of Middle
Tennessee with a view to learning
the wants OF shippers and the efforts
the railroads were making to meet
them. He found al GAINESVILLE that
there was some complaint concern
ing the, high tariff charged by the
railroad on wheat. In Gallatin
shippers complained thata greater
rate of freight was charged from
Gallatin to Louisville and Louisville
to Galiatin than from Nashville to
Louisville and Louisville to Nash
vile. The same complaint was
urged by the Springfield shippers as
regards st. Louis and Nashville and
vice versa.
