The Excursion.

X FF@f 4h6 A&cufsl0Ms
A II took two trains 10 carrya Of thu
excursionists who went out to Howell
Z last Friday. A large number of ladies
participated and everybody WHO wenl
seemed to have good time.
Speeches were made at Howell BY
by several gentlemen. o. A. Nixon
Esq, of Centerville, Tenn, was firsl
called. Mr.. Nixon has been engaged
in constructing the Nashville g. Tusca.
loosa road, now running from Dickson
Station to point thirteen miles south
Of centerville. He spoke OF the ad-
visibility Of constructing the l. A. &
z. road Southwark from Clarksville;
told of the iron ore beds 10 the south
Fof us. the furnaces that had been
brought into existence by the Tusca-
loosa road and the cheap process by
which they are now making iron.
He thought when the I. ct. road
had been pushed to the Kentucky
coal fields and into this iron region to
the South, GAINESVILLE would of neces-
sity become a manufacturing town.
He was followed by L. G. Munford,
Esq, who expressed his sympathy
with the enterprise. He thought good
feeling should be cultivated between
the railroads and Che people. The
bond subscribers to the |. A. & IT,
should pay up promptly what they
were due.
Judge III. III. Lurton made a practi-
cal and pleasing talk that was full of
good sense. lie said the road had
been mainly completed to its present
terminus at the personal expense of
the Messrs- Gordon. That Maj. E. G.
Gordon deserved commentator for
his untiring perseverance in the face
OF difficulties. He dwelt ON the great
advantage the road would be to Clarks-
vile, and the necessity of pushing it
further.
Major E G. Gordon made substan-
TALLY the same speech that he made
on the former excursion, and promised
to complete the road by fall If the sub
scribers come promptly to his aid,
Col. w. s. Gordon made humorous
speech that put the crowd in a good
humor for the return trip.

A REPREsENTATTvE of this paper at /
tended the Masonic funeral OF the late |
Nelson Brown, which was preached at
Bethel church at Sango, in this county,
last Sunday. There was a large con-
gregatiOn of people in attendance, both
of Masons and citizens. The funeral
was preached by Rev. II. L. Burney, a i
and friend OF the deceased.
The large frame church was filled by /
the fraternity and the ladies, leaving
large congregation outside of the
church. After the sermon the Masons |
marched to the cemetery, near by and
performed the last burial service of /
their deceased brother. We took |
dinner with Mr.. Sam Wilkerson at
his pretty cottage home near Red |
river. He has one of the best and
prettiest little farms that we saw
in our travels He showed us his /
last years tobacco crop, and we
must saw that whilst we do not pretend |
to be Judge of the weed, taking
it all together, the size, color and hand
ling, it is about the best tobacco
we have seen of the 1884 crop, and il
he does not get good price for it, we
will be very much mistaken. He is a
working pushing young farmer and
everything around him looks like
business. To him and his most excel
lent lady we are indebted for many
acts of kindness.

the funeral of Gen. Grant before be goes
to the mountains. He expects to be able
TO get there Sunday next. Secretary

family, will probably accompany him to
Albany. 1t is expected that Secretary
Lamar and Attorney General Garland
will remain in Washington during the
Presidents absence. The other members
of the Cabinet will take vacation.
Owing to the Illness OF Mrs. Bayard II
is not expected that the Secretary of state
will spend much of the summer season in
Washington. Secretaries Endicott and
Whitney, and Postmaster General Villas
will spend most of the summer at their
homes. The two former will make short
visits to Washington whenever their pres
ence is required. 1t is not definitely set
tied what day the presidential party will

THE IMPORTANCE OF A COMMA.
Congress passed bill on the day before
adjournment last session, which, it is
claimed by government officials, would
bankrupt the government, If executed ac-
cording to the construction placed upon it
by those most Interested In its passage.
The bill proved for the allowance of the
claims OF officers and soldiers for losses
of personal property in the government
service, eXceDt in time of war or hOstili-
ties with Indians. The claimants,
through whose efforts the bill was passed,
AOld that the terms ''war'' and ''hOstili-
ties" both referred to Indian service
(there being no comma between the
words ''war" and ''or'' J, and that claims
for losses during the civil war
must be allowed. This, the Treasury
officials say would cost the govern
ment a sum more than could be esti-
mated, running up to two or three thou
sand million dollars. A case involving a
claim for losses of personal property dur
Ing the late war was submitted to Third
Auditor John S. Williams, who gave de-
cision disallOwing the claim, and holding
that the act does not authorize cOmpensa-
tion for any losses sustained in time of
war.

The following telegram, forwarded by
Gen. Pope, has been received by the
Adjutant General:
"We have Just received the following
from Ft. Huachuca, A. t.: Mr.. Trevis,
one of the citizens who was with Capts
Wood and Hatfield, left them on the trail
Tuesday, Is miles in Mexico, just at the
summit OF the CanOno mountain. The
trail was hot and the troops were in full
pursuit.
THE ONLY RAIDERS.
" In my opinion this band of 10 or T.
Indians is the only one that has been on
our side of the line, Notwithstanding other
reports. They came up to steal stock
but they have had to drop nearly all of it
SO far. Since Capt. Wood has been on their
trail they have dropped 40 head, which
citizens have picked up. Capt Woods
scouts are PLAYED cut, and have come
back. Capt. Hat6eld's were mounted
and are with the command. Lightning
smashed our telephone yesterday and we
have sent to Siding for dispatches.
"'FORsYTH, 1t. Col. COm'dg."
Gen. Pope added: although parties
were not sent out as soon as the reports of
the crossing of the railroad by the Indians
were received; the reports have not yet
been confirmed"
