WHILE we consider the bill introduced by
Senator Terrell Objectionable in many respects,
particularly on account Of its complexities and
knots, and its squirting towards herd law,
the LIGHT has no pleasure in the spectacle
OF a man of real ability (for such is Senator
TerrelD being picked and pecked at by par
eel Of interior men. whose chief motive is
envy and jealousy Of his superiority. Senator
Terrell must be sacrificed in order that
Noodedom may sleep in peace, and that
mediocriy may continue TO respire. II such
vas not the groundwork OF the opposition To
tie bill OF Senator Terrell, the opponents Of
the bill would have attempted to amend it
where they believed it to be defective.
The Legislature has done nothing, so far,
to. solve the fence cutting problem. The
members appear to be suffering from chronic
latulence, and unless they are promptly re.
leved, IT is likely the Legislature will end in
magnificent 6zzle.

THE best thing young man can do is to
fall in love with pure-minded, virtuoas and
sensible girl. Even should he not succeed in
winning her affection, his passion for her will
do him immense service. It will lift him
above the "dead level" Of sel6shness and pre-
serve him from vicious courses and low de-
baucheries. Selfshness is the "sin that doth
most easily beset'' men and women, and when
it once seizes upon them, generosity, friend
ship, charity and sympathy take their fight.
When young man truly loves pure and
virtuous woman, he has this very love,
charm and talisman against vice, which is as
a coat Of mail to the warrior on the field Of
battle and as a compass to the tempest tossed
sailor on the ocean. As Tennyson sings.
at Is better TO have loved and lost,
Than mover 10 have loved at ALL"

FREE gras, has been the cause of much Of
the disturbed condition OF affairs in Western
Texas, and Senator Terrell was more than
two-thirds right when he said many men in
Texas had grown rich on lands belonging to

simply legalized theft on a broad scale.

Whereas, John w. Faxon, the

many friends in the business CON-
munity, confirming the high char
acter for fidelity, promptness and
integrity which directed our at
tention to him as a man worthy of
official trust, qualities TO the pos
session OF which by him we can
from experience truly testify. and
now on parting from him, he bears
with him our best wishes, and we
congratulate our sister institution
upon the acquisition of an officer
who will, we are sure, worthily fill
the position to which he has been
elected.

the CHRONICLE, has accepted the
position of Cashier of the Bank of

Death of Mr.. Theodor Jansen.

Mr.. TheodOr Jansen, well
known tobacco buyer of this city,
died in his room in the Exchange
building Sunday morning at an
early hour. The cause of his death
was accute bronchitis, and his ill
ness was of short duration. He
attended the sales at the tobacco
board on the previous Thursday in
apparent good health. He was
thirty-eight years old. Mr.. Jansen
came to GAINESVILLE about seventeen
years ago from Hanover, Germany,
of which place he was native. He
had resided here ever since, and
was much esteemed for his gentle
manly bearing and integrity as a
business man. The funeral took
place from Trinity church Tuesday
at IL O'Clock, and the remains were
inferred in Greenwood cemetery.
The burial casket was covered with
a profusiOn of flowers from Ever
green Lodge. The floral designs
were very beautiful and tastefully
arranged. Gala lilies, Mareschal
Neil buds, &C., were woven into
wreaths, crowns and crosses that
were very lovely indeed.
At a called meeting of GAINESVILLE
Tobacco Board of Trade held Mon
day, Feb. IL, 1884, the following
resolutions were adapted:
Whereas, your committee offer this our
tribute expressive of our feelings on this
sad occasion, and the loss each of us and
this Board have sustained in the death our
esteemed member Mr.. Thee Jansen.
Resolved, That this Board, while bowling
in humble submission to the will of the Di-
vine Creator, the maker and giver of all
life, who has seen fit to remove by death
from among us our much esteemed men,
Der and friend, Mr.. Theo. Jansen, yet we
cannot Withhold our expression of profound
sorrow at his death, and removal in the
spring-time of life from large sphere of
usefulness.
Resolved. That we recognize in the death
of our friend and honored member, the loss
of one of our best members, one who has
filled well every position, having been a
prominent member of this Board for many
years and keenly alive to its every interest,
having served for many years as a member
of its chief committee, in which capacity
this Board bears full testimony of his ability
and high sense of justice which actuated
his every decision.
Theo, Jansen was an honest man, "the
nobliest work of God"
I This Board and vicinity deeply mourn
his loss. Coming amoung us from his ma
tive Germany he has so lived as to endear
himself to each and every one of this his
new home.
Resolved, That the sales-rOom of the
Tobacco Exchange be drapad in mourning
and that the members wear the usual badges
of mourning for thirty days.
Resolved, That this board attend his buri-
al in body.
Resolved, That the secretary enroll these
proceedings upon the minutes of the Board
as an expression of our sorrow and respect,
and furnish copies of thesame to the bereav-
ed family of the deceased and to the newspa-
pers of this city and of the tobacco trade.

we Guessed Correctly.

We published, a week or two
since, a notice of an ancient mar
riage license, handed us by a gentle
man who resides i'm this county.
The license was issued some time in
the early part of the century in
Granville county, N. c., and was
signed stephen Sneed, Clerk" We
expressed conjecture that this
Stephen Sneed was an ancestor of
Judge J. l.. L. Sneed, ex-Supreme
Judge of this State, and it turns out
that we were right in the SUPPOSE
ton. The Judge writes US: "The
old gentleman referred to was my
grandfather. He was made Clerk
Of the Court of Pleas and Quarter
Sessions soon after the war of the
Revolution and held the office con-
tinuously until his death, about
1921. He was a soldier in the Rev.
dictionary war, and was man of
rather rare industry and enterprise.
One of his daughters became
the wife of Bishop Green, the veneer
able Bishop of Mississippi and Chan
cellor of the University of the South.
The old parliamentary left ii good
estate and gave each of his children
a fair send off in life, but transm tilted
to them but little, of what Carlyle
calls, the 'transcendant faculty. of
taking care of what they had.
1t was a coincidence that two of the
old mans sons married daughters
of two of the Chief Justices of North
Carolina, Judges Henderson and
Taylor, the latter my maternal
grandfather" This was written in
private letter to the editor of the
CHRONICLE, and was not intended
for publication. The Judge knew,
for special reasons, that 1t would
interest us personally, and we be.
lieve he is good natured enough to
pardon us for thinking that it will
also interest the public.

The Man Who Was Lynched at Dover.

The Dover Courier of last week
has the following about the man
who was lynched at that place a
short time ago:
Mr.. John L. Pepton, of Madison
Vile, Hopkins county, KY, paid us
a call last Wednesday. He gave us
a few items in the history of Jos. L.
Cook, who was lynched a few weeks
ago for the murder of Mrs. Glasgow.
Mr.. PeytOn says that VIM. Cook,
preacher, brother of J. E. Cook,
lives at jacksonville now, and is
perfect gentleman, highly respected
and very popular. Rev. VIM.
Cook, father of the murderer, is a
minister of the NJ. E. Church, and
a man of decided ability. He was
once clerk of Hopkins county. Joe
Cook was the black sheep of the
family, and was never known to do
good deed; in fact he was bad
enough for anything. We asked
Mr.. Peyton il anyone, to his knOwl-
edge, ever said that Cook was crazy
To which he replied, "Na; only
mean and wicked. He had known
Joe ever since he was a boy, but
never knew heard or suspected that
he was crazy.

THE seed show was postponed
till the 10Th inst, on account of the
high waters in the Cumberland
river and its tributaries, which
would have prevented many farm
ers from attending on the day that
was formerly set. The postpone
ment will give more time to farm
ers to get up exhibits and will no
doubt work to the advantage of the
show. The executive committee
did right in putting off the show,
because all sections of the country
should have an equal chance to
make exhibits, and this could not
have been the case while the waters
are high.

relI who take the leading parts are
commedians OF no small merit and
the play is said to be one of the
most laughable performances on
the boards. The following extracts
from well known papers will give
some idea of its merits.
Philadelphia Press: Judged by the
test of applause "a Friendly Tip"
is the most successful play of the
period, for the people in the audi
ence literally hOwled with laughter
and tired their hands with applause.

which was fully enjoyed and nois-
lily applauded by the very large au-
diencS.

On Wednesday, at / O'clock, al
the residence of the brides father,
Mr.. Chas, Bourne, 6 prosperous
young farmer of the vicinity of Pea
Ridge, led to the altar Miss Lucy,
the lovely daughter of Mr.. Burns
Peterson.
The high waters and stormy
weather did not prevent the atend-
ance of a large bevy of charming
young ladies with their cavaliers.
The ceremony was performed by
Rev. Mr. Adams, after which a
large gathering of relatives and
friends sat down to such a bounte-
Gus feast as the well-known and
generous hospitality of "Uncle
Burns" and his ''gude wife" is war
rant for. Many a forlorn swain cast
envious eyes at the gallant bride
groom, but it was too late, the fun
loving Lucy had been captured at
last, and has gone to that Bourne
from whence she will not likely care
to return. May all happiness at
tend Charlie and his winsome bride.

| blinking liIeII throughout the world
That an industrial revolution oil
vast extent is in progress cannot be
Questioned, and we be believe thai
lis force will be far greater than The
business men of the country have
any conception of. In TACT the peo-
pie of the South ha e not yet real
lied the magnificent future to which
their country is so rapidly hasten
ing.
; That the industrial interests of
the North are to be destroyed we
do not believe, nor would such Il
national loss be of benefit to the
South. But the most rapid progress
will hereafter be found, not in the
North nor i'm the West, but in the
South, and much of the capital and
enterprise now invested in those
sections will soon be found drifting
to the Southern States. In fact,
this is already in progress, and the
signs OF the times all point to the
Investment of enormous amounts
of outside capital i'm Southern in
dustries within the next few years.
Under the heading "Construction
Department we give every week
i'm the Manufaeturers' Record full
list of all new Industrial enterpri-
SEES of every kind to be started in
the SouthxHiving the location and

what is being done in that section,
and. as closely as we have watched
the development of the South, we
confess that we are surprised week
after week at the number and mag
nitude of the enterprises establish
ed there.
Within the last few weeks we
have reported the organization of
new cotton mills, wooden mills, saw
mills, cotton-seed Oil mills, ma
chine shops, mining companies,
and in fact almost every
kind of industrial enterprises, the
and operation of which
will require many millions and
tens of millions of dollars. The
most enthusiastic friend of the
South could hardly ask for grand
err and more glorious future than
that to which the Southern States
are now SO rapidly Fastening.
