KEEP YOUR LAMPS TRIMMED AND BURN.


Rev. John Colcot, Lebanon evan
gelist, now preaching In Indiana, has
written TO prominent citizen in Leb-
anon iniwhich he warns him that sThe
sun will disappear from the sight of
mortal man at high noon, sharp, on
the I'D of September, and darkness
will reign supreme, for FIVE and one
half days" He admonishes all the peo-
pie to keep their lamps trimmed and oil
cans replenished in preparation for
the long night.
The following is given as the BASIS
of his prophecy:
1t has been 1852 years and three
days since the death of Christ, and on
the 9Th of August the bible fulfilled,
and the number that Christ was desig-
mated by was enc hundred and forty
and four thousand, and it was neces-
sary that the world stand forty-four
days after the bible fulfilled.
In speaking of the impending gloom
the Lebanon Herald says:
We trust that the timely warning of
an impending calamity which he gives
will be needed by our citizens, and
that no foolish virgin will be caught
short on oil.
For some cheerful reading to place
a person in a proper frame of mind to
enjoy the long dark spell, we would
recommend Byron's poem which be-
gins:
II bad dream, It was not all a dteam."
We feel a poignant regret that the
light is to go out just a few days before
the circus was to have been here.

Death Of w. H. Cherry.

Mr.. w. III. Cherry, prominent cit
izen of Nashville, and probably the
wealthiest man in Tennessee, died
Friday night, of Bright's disease of the
kidneys. Mr.. Cherry was born in
Hardin county in this State in 1922.
His parents were poor, and his educa-
ton was very meager. When quite
young he went to Savannah, the coun-
ty seat of Hardin county, to clerk in a
store. He afterwards became a mer-
chant in that place, where he contin-
ued to do business up to the time of
the war. He held the offices of Coun-
ty Clerk and Trustee during his resi-
denee in Savannah, and grew to DO a
rich man, for that section. He was a
Union man, and went North during
the first part of the war, but returned
to the South later to speculate in cot
ton, etc, at which he greatly increased
his fortune. After the war he resided
in Memphis until 1871, when he re-
moved to Nashville, and in connection
with Tom O'Connor, became a lessee
OF the Tennessee penitentiary. Mr..
Cherry was not an active politician,
but no man ever exercised greater
influence in Tennessee politics than
he did in his own quiet and peculiar
way.
He was the owner of the Nashville
World, and kept that paper up at a
great expense for some years, in order
to create such political sentiment as
might be profitable to his investments.
He dealt largely in Tennessee bonds.
1t was known that he had voted for
Garfield, and as Tom O'Conrror always
introduced him to Republican MEM
bers of the Legislature when the two
were lobbying with that body as "the
Republican member of our firm" he
was supposed to have Republican pro-
clivities. This made it seem strange
that his paper, the World, should be
SO rampantly Democratic, pose as the
party organ, and seek to dictate Dem
ocratic doctrine, and Mr.. Cherry was
very much criticised by papers not in
accord with the World. He objected
to all of this and considered himself I'M
justly dealt with, saying that he was
only private citizen.
There is much good that can be said
about Mr.. Cherry. He was a devout
member of the Methodist church and
was very liberal in his charities. The
est,,le he leaves is estimated at $50,

GREAT excitement prevailed in
Chattanooga Sunday incident to an
attrocious and unprovoked murder,
which occurred there that day and
the lynching of the murderer at night
Polk Mitchell, street car driver was
killed by negro named Charles Will
Hams. The former elected the latter
from his car. because he persisted in
smoking in the presence of ladies, used
profane language and wouldn't pay
his fare. Williams went home, got
his pistol and meeting Mitchell shot
him twice, and fired twice at his pros
trate body after it had fallen. The as
sassin was arrested and that night a
mob went to the jail and hanged him
Some of the mob did some reckless
shooting at the Jail in which negro
named Ben Palmer and white man
named w. T. Nancy, were killed.

Uncertain and Conflicting Reports as to the
1885 Crop.


Cincinnati Tobacco Journal, Sept. Z.
Crop reports are so conflicting and
uncertain, that we refer our readers to
our crop and correspondence columns
for an idea of its condition and pros
poets. No doubt the damage reported
from sections where the drouth, hail
and excessive rains have prevailed is
exaggerated in most instances, and 1t
is probable that the 1885 crop will turn
out an abundance of most types, though
as to quality little can be definitely
predicted, especially as the curing is
mainly responsible for this. 1t is more
than likely, though, that the Bright
crop of Virginia and North Corolina,
which promised so much until about
the middle OF the past month, has been
materially damaged by dry weather,
and that under the most favorable con-
ditions from now until the crop is
cured, the supply of really good Bright
Leaf will not prove very abundant.
Damage by hail is also reported from
New York, and in most Cigar Leaf
States late planted Tobacco is causing
planters great anxiety, as they are fear
ful of an early "nipping" frost. The
slight frosts felt in Pennsylvania, Wiz
consin, New York and the Connecticut
Valley about the LIST, while they did no
damage, made Cigar Leaf planters
fearful, and induced many to cut green.
Still, Il large crop was planted in all
States, especially Wisconsin, and the
average yield promises so well, that
good crop is assured, unless damage
in the immediate future is far more
serious than has been in the past

The 1885 Harvest of Tobacco.

1t is now evident that the harvest of
this years growth of tobacco will not
be above the annual average, which
means that it will not furnish more
useful goods than will be needed to
meet the requirements OF the home
and foreign trade. Three or four
weeks ago it looked as if there would
be large surplus product this season,
planting having been general and the
growing conditions favorable, but in
the interval that has elapsed dry wealth
er in some sections and terrific rain,
wind and hail storms i'll other sections
have done much to dissipate tn, ex-
pectation OF an excessive yield. We
shall have Il large crop Of tobacco as a
whole, but it is likely to be less SER
viceable, as whole, than some of its
predecessors.
In some of the bright producing re-
gions of North Carolina and Virginia,
as also in portions oil the Green River
sections, drouth has been serious
hinderance to the production and
gathering to full crops, ~ will be seen
by reference to reports in this and pre-
ceding editions OF The Leaf Frost, in
addition, is one oi the obstacles still to
be encountered or unprecedented.

ENLoE on LITTLEToN.


The following from the Tribune and
Sun is one OF the best things we have
come upon III the State press:
The editor Of the National Review,
the Republican organ of Nashville, is
fond OF the spice OF personalities, and
it is the biggest editorial vein he has
yet struck. He niay be deeper in
places than lle appears, and he may
have editorial huaanzas in him. II
may be that he don't feel quite at home
yet with a Repul,ilcan battle axe in his
hand hacking away at the Democratic
fortitications he formerly built. That
may account ior his present preference
Tor the arrow, the tonahawk and the
scalplng knife. Unjust not be inferred
that editor LIttleton is uncivilized; not
by any means. He is us mild man
nered man as ever cut a throat or
scuttled Ship but when he shoots
one OF his curved arrows the man
who Is wounded can scarcely tell
whether it is tipped with poison or
only a friendly arrow from the enemy's
camp 10 remind him that there is such
a thing as sharp shooting at the enemy
~ Nes-SltiNht anu piftCtlCC.
We understand that this cratic po-
lltlcal factor has intimated that the ed;-
tor of this paper will have to change
his politics if he is ever elected goy-
ernor or anything else in Tennessee.
Editor Littleton will accept the writer's
thanks for the gentle intimation that
short-tail foxes are the most fashiona-
bic, but the writer desires nothing in
Tennessee or elsewhere from which his
politics would debar him. He has no
gubernatorial lightning-rod attach
ment and would not become political
eunuch or political apostate for any
Office in the state or out of it. We are
young men yet, Brother Littleton, and
the man who shoots rife and always
aims wells is more likely to kill large
game than the one who shoots a shot
gun and always fires impatiently. If
it's all the same to you, John, the wri-
ter will jnst keep the politics he has
and let you be governor, if the people

THE following paragraph occurs in
Gen. Grants paper on The Siege of
Vicksburg" published in the Septem-
Der Century: "On the Goth of May l
sent Blair's division up the Yazoo to
drive out force of the enemy sup
posed to be between the Big Black
and the YazoO. The country was rich
and full Of supplies of both food and
forage. Blair was instructed to take
all of it. The cattle were to be driven
in for the use of our army aud the
food and forage to be consumed by
our troops or by fire. All bridges
were to be destroyed and the roads
rendered as nearly impossible as posi-
BILE" All of this came out of the ext
gencies Of war, but is it not marvellous
that the people who were thus pill
LACED can now speak of Gen. Grant as
a patriot and a hero?

THE threatened fight between Spain
and Germany grows out of contest
for the possession of the Caroline Is
lands, in the South Pacific. While a
Spanish squadron was about to land
on the island of zap, that constitutes
one of the Caroline group, German
man of war suddenly steamed into
port and sent body of men ashore to
raise the German colors When this
news reached Madrid an Infatuated
mob attacked the headquarters of the
German mission and stoned the win
dows. The latest reports are that Ger
many has offered to withdraw from
zap if Spain will also withdraw, while
the dispute can be arbitrated. In the
meantime, King Alfonso holds very
uneasy position on his throne, and
Spain is threatened with revolution.

as. NJ. A. c." strikes the race ques
ton square and correct when she says
"Lugging the negroes into politics
was the crime of the century, and all
well wishers of the race must pro-
nounce on those who would prolong il
a double anathma" Since the civil
rights bill was declared unconstitution-
al, this question had been relegated to
the natural intercourse of private life
for adjustment and settlement. The
Nashville American seeks again to
bring it into Tennessee politics to help
along its railroad commission project.

WHAT do the bloody shirt agitators
of the North propose? Is it really
their desire to do as Gov. Hoadly says
40 govern the South from the
North as Dublin Castle governs Ire
land" Such an idea is as sadly out of
date as slavery and state sovereignty.
The Republican party with no better
doctrine than this is certainly slipping
into "the senile age of the lean and
slippered pantaloon."

According to the Americans cou t
there are only two Democratic papers
in East Tennessee, yet there are fifteen
journals IN that division OF the State
that have always proclaimed the party's
principles. If the American thins out
voters IN the same proportion that it
throws papers overheard, the Demo
cratic party in Tennessee has a la
mentally small following.

The Knoxville Lynching.

Sellers, the man who murdered and
robbed young Names in Knoxville
last week, WAS taken from the Jail in
that city by mob Friday night and
Iynched. The execution was hung
lingly carried out and its details are
shocking and barbarous. The mob
carried their prisoner to the bridge
over the Tennessee river and swung
him Off from one of the cross beams.
His hands were not tied and he climb
ed the rope to the top and crawled
along the beam. At least so shots
were fired at him while he was per-
forming this feat. A ladder was pro-
cured and a man went up to where
Sellers was lying. A struggle ensued
and Sellers fell off into the edge OF the
river below, distance OF 100 feet. He
struck on a rock, and was terribly bro
ken up. His body was found to be
perforated with bullets. When the
mob first approached Sellers in Jail he
had Il knife in his hand and cut the
first man who reached him about the
face and head.

THE people of Georgia have grown

such an utterance of bribery, and to

THE zeal of a new convert in con-
trast with the milder judgment of one
born In the faith, is illustrated by the
manner in which John Sherman
bloody shirt speech was treated by the
National Review and the Chattanooga
Commercial. John ]. Littleton, who
edits the former paper, was until re-
Gently, Democrat, but he endorses
all that Sherman said, while Harry
Griscomb, of the Commercial, who has
always been a Republican, admonishes
the Ohio Senator to go slow.

SELLS CIRCUS.

In the equestrian ring every act was
OF the best. The fearless bareback rid
ing OF Don Jerenimo Bell was admired
and applauded; no more, however,
than the dashing and intrepid lady
bareback rider, Mile Cordona, who
carried the audience by storm. Her
balloon jumping act certainly stamps
her as leader and ut the head as a fe-
male bareback rider. Mile Marietta,
on the aerial rings, displayed both
nerve and skill, and the applause she
received was well merited. The broth
er acts were well executed, and the BIZ
cycling by the Stirk family was well
worth the price of admission. The
dog circus was the best ever exhibited,
and the tumbling was far above the
ordinary. The only unsatisfactory
feature to what might otherwise have
been most laudable exhibition was
that of giving all the best acts in the
ring to the left of the dressing room
entrance. There being 400 persons
present, 1000 of them were at the
wrong end all the time, and large
number of the audience manifested
their dissatisfaction by retiring before
the conclusion of the performance. 1t
is to be hoped that Messrs. Sells will,
to some extent, at least, remedy this
the only defect of the show. Upon
the whole, the Sells Brothers may well
congratulate themselves upon present
ing to the public one of the very best
circases now on the road. and the pub
lie may be assured that they will new
er be defrauded out one cent or ever
regret having patronized this merito-
rious entertainment.
