AN UNKNOWN HERO.

Mr.. Joseph NJ Brown General Freight
Agent of the W. q A. Railroad, is having
Messrs McClatchy & Bailey to place the fol-
lowing inscription on a headstone: can I'm
known Hero He died for the cause he
thought was right. This headstone is to
be placed at lonely grave, found above
Marietta, near the railroad supposed to be
the grave of Confederate soldier. 1t is
very creditable to Mr. Brown to provide so
appropriately this memorial to mark the
last resting place of this unknown dead
hero. He was some mothers darling, and
perhaps when the cruel war was over.
she wiped her tear-bedmmed ewes and
through her spectacles watched for the com
ing of her soldier boy, but he came not.
Still she prayed and gazed down the road
and scanned the face of every passer-bv
every foot-step that sounded on the walk
her eager ears caught up with expectancy;
her heart beat faster and thrilled with hope
her eyes kindled with joy; her wrinkled face
lighted up with smile, and her old arms,
no doubt, Involuntary went out to clasp to
her bosom her darling boy; but she was
doomed to disappointment; it was her
neighbours boy who had returned, and not
hers and sadly she turned back to her old
arm chair by the window she choked down
the heart sobs and cleared away the unbid-
den tears, and wondered why her boy did
not come. No tidings came of his where
abouts. She did not know that the boy
whom she saw proudly leave home in his
new suit of gray, in response to his coun-
try call, at that moment filed an unknown
grave. Perhaps, after many years of wait
ing, she too has gone over the river of
death, and with her boy will be sha lowy
witness of the erection of the headstone to
the memory of IAN Unknown Hero

STORE!

There was man in our town, and he
was wondrous wise, for when he marked
his prices down. he then did advertise
And when he saw his trade increase, with
all his might and main ne marked still low
er every price and advertised again And
when he advertised again it made his rivals
roar, TO see the people rush to him and pat
ronize his store And while they sat in
solitude and saw him custom win, that man
behind the counter stood and raked the
shekeIs in. And when he raked the shek-
els in and saw his fortune rising, he took
goodly lot of tin and kept on advertising.
Each day generous sum he'd sink, and
demonstrate full plain, the more one pays
for printers ink the greater is his gain.

4 NEEDED REFORM.

A bin has been introduced into tn,
Tennessee Legislature to allow de
PENDANTS in criminal cases to testify in
their own behalf, which should become
4 law.
There is no reason for sealing the
mouth OF prisoner while his accuaers
are allowed to make their statements
TO the jury. The adherence to such a
rule has. no doubt, in mum berless cases
defeated the ends OF justice.
Up to few years ago Htigants in
civil suits were not allowed to testify
and the abolition of sc foolish a rule
has greatly facilitated the action of
courts.
1t Is really more a demand of Justice
that a person indicted for crime be
allowed to testify thSn that the privi-
lege be given parties to civil suits.
Suppose some inscriptions character,
man or woman, in order to carry out !
hls or her ''rescntments, reprisals and |
revenges,' should accuse an innocent
man OF committing crime when only !
the two were present The villain :
can go into court and tell a tale on
which the jury will be bound to con-
vic; the defendant, who sits with seal
ed mouth and goes 10 his punishment
like sheep to the shambles. /
We have observed eases where inst
such injustice was done, and we there
lore urge the passage OF this law.

REPEAL THE RAILROAD COMMISSION
LAW.

The people of Tennessee at the las
election, by large majority, expressed
their disapprobation of a railroad com
mission law. That is a plain fact thai
cannot be successfully denied. The
papers that have attempted to deny il
resort to miserable equivocation that
insults the intelligence of their read.
ers
The platform adopted by the Re
publican State convention denounced
the commission idea. The candidates
that party put forward for commits
sioners stated publicly, through the
press and in speeches, that their cleo
ton would be construed rs demand
for che laws repeal.
Fifty-six Democratic papers that
opposed the commission were contin-
ually saying throughout the campaign.
''The defeat of Savage, Gordon and
Turley viii demand the laws repealr
The question went before the PEG
pie IN that shape and was fully under
stood by every intelligent voter. There
was no mistake. That numbers of
Democrats who opposed the commits
sion voted for Savage, Gordon and
Turley through an erroneous sense OF
duty to party, cannot be denied, but
in spite Of that fact, the commissioners
were defeated and their defeat meant
that the people wanted the law crea-
ting their Offices wiped out. 1t is idle
silly and worse than useless to put any
other construction on the result OF the
last election.

A TYPE OF THE Ti,ULY coon

the Nashville World in all matter,
pertaining to politics, contained the
%Hon. J. II. Mcdowell, our senator

Tor J. w. Thomas, the scratcher. Atha
Thomas IS democrat without blem-

To this, the Dyersburg Gazette, Col
Meals paper, made the following very
pointed reply:
When Andrew Johnson was an in

against Gen. Frank Cheathanl. the rev.

Thomas scratched the ticket and vo-
ted foT johnson. Again, when JAS.
ID. Porter was the nominee of the mar
W Tor Governor, Atha Thomas once
more came to the front and voted for
Dorsy b. Thomas, the independent.
Again, when John V. Wright was the
regular nominee of the Democratic
party for Governor, against Frank
Wilson, the candidate of the boilers,
Atha Thomas fearlessly marched to
the ballot box with a scratched ticket
and voted for Wilson. Now, Mr..

claims that ~Atha Thomas is a demo

THERE Is one problem arising out
OF the complications of politics, and
the test of true Democracy prescribed
by the orthodox, that has never been
satisfactorily settled. According to
the Courier-Journal, which is very
high authority in some quarters, no
person who fails to howl for a tariff
for revenue only is a Democrat. This
Is also true according to the Nashville
World, which is the authority in some
quarters. But the World carries the
prescription further, and draws line
between Democrats and scratchers.
Now the Courier-Journal, in its father
ly interference in Tennessee politics
IN the last campaign boldly advised
the scratching of the railroad commits
sloners. What we want to find out is

H We learn that subscriptions are be

Col Colyar's paper, and that the can.
vassers are meeting with success
very gratifying to the projectors of the
enterprise.
If the paper is supported by a sound
capital and can secure suficiency of
telegraphic news, it will be established
on a permanent basis with but little
difficulty. Not that it will be the
nnouth-picce OF Col. Colyar, no such
personal feature can give it success,
but because it will in an able manner
discuss and advocate those progressive
ideas that are taking such firm hold
in the South.
Col Colyar may have idiosyncracies
OF character not generally admired
and an inconsistant record that will
subject him 10 criticism, but such
things cannot effect well conducted

progress Of the South, in which the |
intelligence of this section is so much |

HE facstious suggestion of a South
ern paper that Cleveland appoint col.
ored men to offices in the Northern
States has aroused the wrathful indig-
nation of the Republican press of that
section. Why such a proposition, Sc
riously made, should give ofense in
that quarter is incomprehensible at
the South. From all that has been
said and done in the past we thought
Northern Republicans pinned for col
ored officers and would never consider
their cup of happiness full until they
got them.
