A correspondent of the Courier
Journal says Gov. Bate was conspicu-
ously and purposely absent from most
of the entertainments given Mr.. RAN |
dali in Nashville. If this be true, our |

Watterson in making an assinine dis
play of himself. 1t is certainly not |
necessary for man who has been in
public life as long as Gov. Bate has, to |
be discourteous to a distinguished |
guest to demonstrate his political
standing. ... ..., .f..-.ss.7. |
Nashville Lumberman mills in
this State and Georgia, which were
idle few weeks ago, have started up.
So far as our own section is concerned, |
there is great deal to encourage.
Our mineral lands are in a fair re-
quest. The movements in lumber
show that large demand still exists,
and this offsets the disadvantages of
low prices. The smaller industries of
the South are in healthy condition.
The starting up of cotton-mills shows
that the people have money to buy.
The building of some forty-ive mills
in the South at this time proves that
capital has confidence"

pose to be sworn into Office to prevent
the present commissioners from serv-
