Mr.. Editor Of the TRIBUNE.
The Editor of the Cheboygan Demo-
crat wants to bet five dollars that I don't
take the Democrat, well.hs need not bet,
he guessed it right, 1 don't take the
Democrat, / DOM like its politics, and
as for its religion, 1t hasen't got any,
and as to morals or morality, why its
simply a stranger to those elements, be-
sides l take two papers that are much
better than the Democrat and neither
costs any more, and further IN of them
is the NORTHERN TRIBUNE, and it Is
paid for and it diden'J cost the Demo-
crat anything either. The article ia re.
gard to Gen. Logan would never have
been seen by me If my attention had
not been called to it. The Editor OF the
Democrat admits that he lied, but be
cause / told him Of 1t he says | am a
newspaper sucker. Well / don't know
what kind of q sucker that is, but | amt
q whiskey sucker, and he is a ruM-guZ-
zliDg whiskey sucker, . regular suck
egg dog of the yaller kind, a sucker by
practice and profession. If he had half
as much brains in his head as he has
mud he would be a much better man.
He wants to know my name. l will prob
ably introduce myself to him some of
thesedays, perhaps he will find it con-
~venient to call up in our neck of woods
during the campaign and l will DO glad
to see him,
Very kindly yours.

SchOf Reeves says that when a man

politicians to conceive of a constituency
whose moral standard is no higher than
their own.

The temperance people are getting

liquors within her borders.

The pastures are usually both short

season, and good feed of fresh sweet
fodder will tell very satisfactorily ID
the milkpail. To get the best results
the corn must not be planted too thick,
as fodder sowed or drilled SO thick As
not to set ears makes feed of q very poor
quality. From some experiments I
have made and what I have seen on
other farms I conclude that thick plant

MURDER In Nashville.

Col. Edward 8. Wheat was muir
dered by his father-in-law, Col
William Spence in Nashville Tues
day morning. The tragedy occurred
at the corner OF Church and College
streets at twenty-five minutes past
eight. Spence was crossing the
street behind Wheat and shot him
in the back the ball passing through
the heart. He then ran up to his
fallen victim and saying, "D-n
you, you choked men placed the
pistol at his side and fired the sec
ond shot. Wheat was about forty
three years old and Spence is about
sixty-five. The difficulty grew out
of disagreements about business
transactions and had been of long
standing. Both had been United
States Marshalls and while Spence
filled the office Wheat was his prin-
ciple deputy. Wheat was a colo
mel in the Federal army and CON-
manGed a Michigan regiment dur
ing the late war. Spence was taken
into custody and has been indicted
for murder by the grand jury. He
is now i'm the Davidson county Jail
and claims that he did the shooting
in self defence and can produce evil
dence that will acquit him.

the rain interfered with the must
clans and prevented them from
playing but one piece. That piece

son, and another member of the
band paid:us call before leaving
the city. They were both very
agreeable young gentlemen, and we
were pleased to meet them. They
informed us that the band was an
amateur organization, made up of
young men of Golconda, who are en-
gagged in various business pursuits
in that city. 1T is under the direc-
ton of Prof. Thomas Swan, a very
accomplished musician. The Drou-
lizard gave the band an excursion
to Nashville to get the benefit Of
their delightful music.

WE publish a communication on
the subject of public schools in this
issue of the CHRONICLE which rec

purpose. We agree with our cor
respondent that better public
schools are needed in Montgomery

sensible person will oppose us in
that position. But whether or not
the people are able or willing to pay
a bigger tax in order to have better
schools, we ale not prepared to say.
We don't take sides on that partic-
ular phase of the question, but our
columns are open to citizens who
wish to discuss the subject pro and
