THE NEVADA BANK.

Much has been said Of late
about the sale of Senator Fairs in
terest in the Nevada Bank to J.
W. Mackay, although the matter
does not particularly concern only
such persons as have dealings with
the bank. As contradictory state
ments have been made regarding
the sale, Senator Fair explains how
it happened, and and exhibits a
duplicate copy of the transfer, to
substantiate his statements. He
says Flood, last November, pro-
posed that he should buy his and
Mackay's interests in the bank, or
that they should mutually agree to
sell to Mackay, as he (Flood)
wanted to get out on account OF
i'll health. He accepted the propo-
sition to sell to Mackay because he
did not like the way the bank was
being managed, and he and Flood
sold their 10000 shares each for
$2,OOO,O0 each.

A MOss-COvEkED sLANDER

At each election the report is in
dustriously circulated that the ed
itor of the APPEAL is forming a
combination to GUST Prof. Howe
from his position as Superintend
cnt of the Public School. Last
Fall this report was circulated
against us during the primary cleo
ton. Although it was false, no
attention was paid to it, as in has
never been our habit to paw much
attention to the thousand and one
falsehoods which are aimed at us
by enemies. We are careless as to
their origin and Indifferent as to
their results. On Saturday last,
other people were struck at through
the same report, and we will make
the statement now and for all, that
we have made no political fight
against Prof. Howe.
Last Fall voter spoke to us on
the street and said he hoped we
would salt Howe" We replied
that we considered him an excel
lent teacher, that the parents OF
school children were satisfied with
him. and that we should under no
circumstance make a charge. As
for making up any ticket against
Howe in the last election, it IS
equally false. We took no interest
whatever in the ticket, and when
asked to suggest some names, de-
cided not to bother about it as 1t
was a matter Of indifference to us
We knew nothing whatever of the
ticket until several days after it
was decided on, and never had any
conversation with Mr.. Wright or
Mr. Coffin regarding their going
on the ticket and ousting Howe.
Prof. Howe aud the editor of the
APPEAL are on good terms. We
have expressed objections to Howe
for running on the Dolly Warden
ticket some years ago, but never
have uttered a syllable against his
proven capacity as school teacher.
Members of our own family attend
his school, and We have always
been satisfied with the progress
they made in studies, and the dis
cipline maintained. We hope We will
not again be called upon to contra
dict this malicious and stupid
falschood.

The Democrats expected to find
= tremendous shortage of accounts
when the Republican administra-
ton was turned out. They even
claimed that the great efforts On
the part of the old party to keep in
power, was due to the tremendous
defalcations which would be shown
in the public treasury when the
Democrats got a chance to count
the msney. Well, the money has
been counted: and sure enough,
there is a shortage Of two cents.

Funeral obsequies-"

A well-meaning friend criticiscs
the phrase "funeral obsequies," used
in last weeks Republic. A criticism
to be worth anything should amount
to something. "Funeral obsequics" is
correct. Milton says:
"llim III solomnly attend
With silent obsequy and train"
Obsequy has reference to the last
duty performed to deceased person,
and funeral, aSed as an adjective,
means gl0Omy. Hence "funeral OBJ
sequies,' the last gloomy rites or duty
performed at the grave or place of
burial of any one.-Thc Republic.
CLARKsvILLE, Tenn, Aug. 20 1885.
CHAs. NJ. MEAcHAM, ESQ,
lIopkinsville, Ky.
Dear SRI think it likely that
you have already seen the point
which propose to show. A ques-
ton, to be worth anything, should
have some bearing upon the subject.
The quotation from Milton does not
contain the expression funeral OBJ
sequies,' nor does it even by implica-
ton warrant the use of it. "Fumeral
obscquics" is II Pathological expression.
"Funeral, used as an adjective
does not mean gloomy, it means per-
tanning to u funeral. The Republic
man probably had .fUReyedi vaguely in
his mind, which does mean dismal,
mournful or orgloomy,
"Funeral obsequles" means "funeral
rites pertaining TO funeral"
"Funereal obsequies "means"dismal
mournful or gloomy funeral rites
All this little discussion about "fI-
neral obsequies," going the rounds OF
the press, arises from the use OF Il
Pathological expression, and then try
ing to make it appear that funeral"
means "funercal," which it does not.
Very truly yours,

gatherings of sea birds and wild fowl;
and although the salmon is not heard

learned in what way the Prince of

culture and the improvement of stock
has been rewarded by prizes which
