JUDGE W. c. ENDICoTT,

from other New Englanders who we're men,

of a few generations back was the John Endi-
colt, afterward governor of Massachusetts, who
ripped the cross out of the British flag with
his sword blade and sent its bearer back to

defiance. Judge Endicott inherited not only
distinguished name, but an abundant for

The Crowd Continues TO Grow

BALTIMORE, March 3.-There was more
life here to-day than for long time. Trains
from the east and west began to arrive early
and by noon the city was thronged with
strangers on their way to Washington. The
railroads are taxed to their full capacity, and
trains will be in motion all night to accom-
modate the vast throng. Both roads from
Baltimore to Washington are double tracked
and trains will be run at full speed and far
enough apart to avoid accident
Tonight as the train conveying the
New York County Democracy emerged from
the west end of Union tunnel a shot was
fired at it from the wall of Green Mount
cemetery. The ball passed through win
dow of the ear and through the hat of one Of
the passengers. The police were at hand,
but the assailant jumped down nearly twenty
feet into the cemetery grounds and escaped.
Late trains brought considerable numbers
Of voyagers back from Washington, unable
to get accom- m odations there for the night.

What the inaugural Address Will Contain.

Special to the Globe.
New YORK, March 3.-Mr. Cleyeland's
inaugural address has been committed TO
memory and will be delivered like speech.
1t will occupy about fifteen minutes in deliy-
cry. II is Mr.. Cleveland's purpose to i'm
press on the people in his address that he in
tends, so far as lies in his power, to
have an honest and honorable administration,
to reform the government in every branch
and 10 bring about a return to the purer and
better days of the government. His recon-
mendations as to the suspension Of silver
coinage will 90 even further than the letter
he wrote to Congressman Warner. With re-
spect to the tariff he will advocate an honest
tariff revision that shall lop off the excres-
cences of the present law and system, but he
will not depart in general terms from the
Chicago tariff plank. In one clause he will
favor retention Of the whisky
and tobacco tax. No little portion will be
devoted to calling attention to the condition
of the country, depression IN business and
the idleness of labor and urging on the
country that the prospect of a revival Of
every interest is conditional upon the sus-
pension of silver coinage and the adoption
Of bis other views.
Mr.. Manning when opportunity offers as
secretary Of the treasury will advocate pro-
;ectlve tariff policy. There is also rumor

Our Fall Fair.

Our next fair will open on the
29th Of September, as was deter
mined at the meeting of the direc-
tors last Saturday. They decided
at this meeting, as may be seen
from the proceedings published
elsewhere, to offer three colt stakes,
for trotters, and to add $40 to the
entrance fees. This is believed to
be q departure from the regular
course pursued by the association
that will prove beneficial financial
Iy, as it will certainly add consider
ably to the general interest. 1t
will probably not effect the usual
program, but will be altogether addi-
tional. If-it should, however, su
percede the ordinary contests of
speed, we believe it is better for the
association to give what money it
has to spare for such purposes, in
such a way as that the stock raisers,
rather than the professional race
horse owners, shall receive the ben
fit. Not that we are opposed to the
latter, but if either is to be encour-
aged to tie exclusion of the other,
let it be those who breed the stock
and not those who handle fast
horses as q speculation. Hence, we
believe the directors have taken a
wise step, even though thy find it
necessary to leave out of the pro-
gram some of the races such as
have heretofore been run; yet we
hope such will not be the case. The
attendants at our fairs will be glad
to learn that the directors are de-
termined to put stop to the horse
jockeying which has been carried
on to too great an extent on our
track. The matter was discuss
ed at the mseting Saturday and it
is quite certain that no driver here
after will be allowed to hold his
herse back IN order that q slower
one may win q purse and divide the
profits. Record or no record, the
fastest horses must carry off the
prizes. When trickery il discover
ed it will Immediately be checked,
and when it appears that any man
is holding his horse he will be
asked to turn him over to somebody
else who will drive him for what he
is worth. The directors are goin &
to see to it that there shall be 70
more sham races if their vigilence
can prevent. In this course
they will receive the hearty endorse
msnt of the large numbers of peo.
pie who have so often sit in the am.
phitheater watching races in which
they felt but little interest because
they all knew that the winning
horses had been named before the
drivers left the stables.

Dr.. Jno. B. McFerrin.

This reverend and distinguished
divine visited Pulaski and preached
in the Methodist church last Sun
day at IL 3. N. and at night
also. His morning sermon was
preached from 1 John V 10 and IL,
and the subject of the plain,yet for
chile discourse was "The Record
that God gave of His Son." The
sermon opened with a,fuent recital
of many of the important events IN
the life of our Lord, incarnate, ex-
tending from the manger to the
sepulchre, and particularly such
events as received the witness Of
the Father to His Messiahship-
for instance, the descension of the
dove, at Christ's baptism, accom-
panied by the voice from heaven.
1t was a home thrust at skepticism
and infidelity, and when the faith
full patriarch in Israel stood up for
himself, as a witness to the truth
Of the religion for the advancement
of which he has consecrated a long
life of earnest and effectual labor,
and testified that the comforts of
the christian religion are earth's
chIefest pleasures and its precepts
the golden gates to the city of our
King, there were few in the large
audience whose hearts were not
touched, and the eyes of many were
bathed in tears. One could but
be reminded, by the boldness of
the speaker and the depth of his
faith, of the great Apostle Paul,
who testified to the same truths.

sermon, protested religion August

COMMITTEES having called conven
ton of the temperance people OF
Tennessee on the 18th of February,
1885, for the purpose of deciding
what is the proper course for the
advocates of the cause to pursue, it
is deemed highly important that
Giles county should send to said
convention a delegation regularly
appointed, authorized and instruct
ed, in order that the views of the
people may be properly represented
in the state convention.
Therefore, all the people of Giles
county who feel an interest in the
cause of temperance, are hereby
called to meet in the court house at
Pulaski on Saturday, February 81,
1885, at Il a. m. for the purpose of
appointing delegates to said State
Temperance conven ton, AS the
executive committee heretofore APP
pointed to circulate the prohibit
tion petition to the legislature de
sire to make q report to this meet
ing, all persons having lists of sig
natures to said petition are reques-
ted to return them at once to the
chairman. This request is made
for the reason that some Of the com
mitteemen appointed and many
other persons to whom blanks were
sent have made no returns.
