CONVENTION BULLETINS.- We neglected

; so justly due. Whilst the Republican Con-
vention was in session at Chicago, the w.

Mr.. J. 9. Douglerty, q native Of Harri-
sonburg, and for a number OF years . clerk
in the store of the late John @. Breckin-
ridge, of this place, has become a defatpiser
to the amount of $3 900, as chief clerk in
the money order department of the Balti-
more Post Office. He had held the posi-
tion since 1859 and was regarded as one of
the most competent and accurate officers
in the department. He was known as
''honest Joe,'' and the discovery of his
shortage was great shock, not only to the
Postmaster but to all connected with the
office. The discovery was made by Post
Office Inspector, who asked for the cash

mand was unexpected and the exposure
followed. 81. d

out Col. Won Borcke, accompanied by
Gen. Thomas Il. Munford, stopped at
Morton's flower garden and procured a
large quantity of beautiful flowers, which
they carried to Hollywood and strewed
over the grave of Gen. Stuart. Gen. Mum

Col. Won Borcke at the grave of his old
chief. After strewing the flowers he stood

Globe Democrat: The recent tor>
nado visitation in the South seems to
have been by far the most terrific and
desolatIng thing of the kind ever
known. 1t is impossible as yet to
give an adequate idea of the losses,
the track of the storm was 90 far
reaching. and news from remote quar-.
tiers comes in so slowly. Enough is
known, however, to warrant the state.
ment that the destruction of property
is even more complete than that
wrought by the Ohio Valley foods,
and the loss CT life is very much
greater. All things considered, the
calamity is perhaps the worst one SO
far of a year that appears to be spe.
cially set apart for disaster.

Two important conventions will be
held in Nashville this spring, and
Tennesseeans are very much interes-

the 18th, 18th and thifteeshs &c this
month. The program promises many
fine addresses by leading Statesmen,
business men and farmers of the
country, and we hope this section will
be well and fully represented. On
the 14th and 18th of May con ven-
ton of the farmers, dairymen and
stock breeders of the state win be held
there, when representative men of
these interests from all sections will
be present. These meetings are cal>
culated to bring many valuable new
citizens to this state, and the cOun
ties that offer the best inducements
will secure them. If Gibson county
wants any of them, our people must
organize and go to work. Let our

1t seems that the great chronic
tramp, Sergeant Bates, has proven to
be nothing but republican spy after
all Because of his being let severely
alone on his recent "march to the
sea" with his flag, he says that "among
the upper classes of the whites in the
south is growing feeling of liberali-
ty and liberation, but among the
lower classes there is violent hatred
OF the Union aud the North, and the
flag he carried was target for a
great deal of abuse and derision, and
was commonly alluded to as On
dirty radical rag The Sergeant be
lieves that Solid South still exists,
and Solid North will he national
necessity for some years yet" He is
merely carrying out his orders from
the party bosses, no doubt, in his
false and slanderous statements
Because the dirty tramp was not
made hero of, he says that the South
hates the old flag.

The Baltimore American, of the
10Th ult., says: IA hint to the South:
Minnesota during the past four years
advertised her resources in Europe
through 100000 printed maps and
circulars. The annual cost was S4,-
200. Last year upwards Of $4,000
immigrants were attracted to the
State. The Southern States have
been complaining that they receive
but paltry part of the immigrants.
Let them follow Minnesota's exam,
pie. Let them advertise Milan
and Gibson county ought to take the
hint and improve on the experience
of Minnesota. 1t would be worth mil
lions to the county in few years.
Let our leading men seriously consid-
er this matter.

MILK Inspection I'm Hartford

E. D. Roberts, the Hartford inspector of milk, examined thirty-one specimens last week and found only one that was not of good quality. In this case the milk was not clean and showed much sediment. The Courant says of the results of having milk officially inspected in that city as follows: "This is very different from the rule in the early days of milk inspection and shows an improvement that is solely due to the exami- nations that have been made. One result of the new system is that more milkmen keep blooded cows which may not yield as many quarts of milk, but give it of better quality and, of course, with more cream. The bring ing of milk in sealed cans, which has recently been announced as novelty,is no new thing here. It has been done for some four years by one man, and the milk furnished at about the same rate as from the large can. Eight cents has been the price of late. MT. Rob erts says he knows of no other place where the general quality of the milk furnished is as good as it is here since the inspection be- gan."
