Cannon, President of this State" was called
up for sentence yesterday, he said he was
conscious of having violated no law. His
conscience was serene. He had obeyed the
Edmunds law as he understood it; that is,
while living in the ssme house with his
wives, he had had intercourse with but one.
He loved his children, and was gratifed to
hear the court say the law had made all his
children equal heirs. He inferred from this
that in case be died his children would be
equal heirs before the law and he thought
in view OF this fact it was unjust TO hold

Death Of Mr.. Hardy BRYAN. Sir.


We copy the following from the
Nashville Union, of Wednesday. Mr..
Bryan once lived in GAINESVILLE. His
friends and relatives here will regret
to hear OF his death:
Yesterday afternoon Hardy Bryan
sr., died very suddenly. At about 8
o'clock he was walking across the
street, Of the corner of College and
Broad, and had just reached the pave
ment on the southeast corner, when
he staggered and would have fallen,
but caught the telephone post and
managed to steady himself till he
reached chair in front of Joe Hous-
tons door. Into this he sank. He
was seen by several parties, none OF
whom knew him. When it was ascer-
tained that he was in an uncon-
scious condition and inquiry made as
to who he was, Mr.. Gordon, an old
friend, recognized him and telephoned
for Mr.. Bryan's son Harry and others.
Mr.. Bryan was borne into the ware
house across the street, where he was
waited on 10y Drs. Menees and Douglas.
It was thought best to remove him to
his home on Gowdy street. and he was
carried thither on litter. He re-
manned unconscious and died about .
o'clock. The physicians think his
death resulted from either congestion
of the brain or apoplexy.

Al correspondent informs us that n

Our informant must have misilnder-

and cranky sort Of character. We
have no apprehension that such advice

telligent enough to read newspapers
of any kind. The Christian advocate
itself will not endorse this advice. The
religious and secular press occupy en-
tirely different iiel,ls Every well reg

with church paper. but that will in
no way take the place Of a newspaper,
especially OF II county paper that gives
all the home news, markets, etc. That
preacher has never become acquainted
with the great and good CHRONICLE,
or he would never have said such
things. The CHRONICLE probably has
warmer friends among the Methodist
ministry than any other class. It is,
in fact, a kind OF Methodist preacher
itself.

TT 4 railroad lawyer IS incompetent
for Supreme Judge, why would an
anti-failroad lawyer be more compe
tent A Judge whose decisions are

You are quite right. II is a poor
rule that will not work both ways.-
American.
In citing an example Of what it con-
siders "a railroad lawyer" the Ameri-
can has named Mr.. John w. Judd,
who has for few years past attended
10 the immense business OF the L. & N.
road i'm the city OF Springfield.
In the dozen or so cases Mr.. Judd
has looked after for the railroads he
was OF course, opposed by the best tall
ent in the Springfield bar. The same
thing applies to every bar in the State.
II, therefore, such men as the Ameri-
can designates are chosen for Supreme
Judges, the bench will be filed by
pigmies.
No railroad lawyer in the proper
sense OF the term should be supreme
Judge. But there is no use in discuss
ing that question I; NO railroad lawyer
is going to be Candidate. In these
latter days men don't give up posi-
tons that pay from $4,000 to $4,000

A KISS BY MOONLIGHT.

From time immemorial, no one viii pre-
tend to deny the fact that kisses have been
held in high repute by both sexes-whether
active or passive. 1t has been decided that
a LEGAL KISS implies ACTION ON both

kissed without sction other lips, 1t consti-
tutes only a PASSIVE kiss-a sweet de-
prived of its nectar.

The Criminal Court was occupied
Tuesday and Wednesday with the
Wesley Taylor case, the offense being
the abduction OF Ida Chester for pur-
pose of prostitution. The jury was
out all night and Thursday morning
returned verdict of guilty, fixing
the minimum punishment allowed by
the statute which is ten years
in the penitentiary. This is the
first case of the kind we know
of having been decided in the courts
of Tennessee, and we consider it a
very wholesome precedent A rigid
enforcement of the law in this regard
will save the recurrence of those
shocking tradgedies wherein father
or brother takes it on himself to
avenge the wrongs of his injured
relative.

The Report Of the Board Of Health.

The Chronicle has received the
report of the State Board of Health
for I8S0-S4. 1t is very neat volume
bearing marked family resemblance
to the Governmental reports that
come to us from Washington. 1t is
made up of separate reports on vari-
Gus subjects from the following gem
themen who constitute the Board
]. d. Plunket, NJ d., president.
Nashville Jas. NJ. Stafford, NJ. d., vice.
president, Nashville; Hon. e. w. Cole,

Daniel f. Wright, M. d., GAINESVILLE,
members and ]. Berrien Lindsey,
NJ. d., secretary and executive officer,
Nashville.
In speaking of DR.. Wrights report
ON school hygiene, the Memphis Ava
lanche says:
The report of DIR. Daniel F. Wright,
of GAINESVILLE on school hygiene in
Tennessee comes so closely to the peo-
pie that we are glad to know that it
has been also printed in pamphlet
form for circulation. 1t deserves to
be placed in the hands of all parents
and especially of the mothers of the
State. From the nature of the case
reform in this matter must come
largely from the people Principals
and teachers are willing to do their
part, but such movements come prop
erly from knowledge on the outside.
The work of preparing this paper
could not have been cOnfded to better
hands than DIR. Wright and the proof
is found in his work. ItSis exhaus-
tive of the subject and deals with some
.delicaIe topics concerning co educa-
ton OF the sexes and the care OF
female pupils, which commend it to
parents. The delicacy and candor
with which the learned doctor has
dealt with this class Of subjects espe-
ciaIly commends it to every thought
full mind who has contemplated the
sometimes fearful results of false
delicacy.
A notable feature of the book is the
report Of DIR. p. ID. Sims, of Chatta-
nooga, on the condition of State pris-
ons 1t was that paper, coming from
an official source, that first brought to
light the barbaric treatment of con-
victs in the penitentiary.
