NASHVILLE, Tenn, April 29.--Gov.
Bate has appointed j. Green Sawyers
of this city to succeed Warden Harris,
whose resignation takes effect May LIST.
The Governor had offered the place
to the Hon. W. J. Hale, member of
the present Senate, but on investiga-
ton found constitutional provision
which prohibits a member Of the Leg
isla ure from occupying such a posi-
ton. The Governor has appointed
Sawyers, but has not made his latest
decision public. Sawyers was until
recently master mechanic in the Chat
tanooga railroad shops here, but is
now farmer.
Two tramps, Henry Buchanan and
George Young, were stealing a ride

by a construction train about two
miles from Nashville this afternoon.
The p' essence of the men was only dis

head was fearfully crushed and he

OF THE CONFEDERATE MONU.
MENT AT MONTGOMERY
Laid With Impressive Ceremonies
In the Presence Of Twenty
Thousand People.
SPEECH By THE HON. JEFFER.
SON DAVIS.
Close! Of the Two IaJs' Ovation to
the HOnOred Ex-Presldent or
the COnfederacys
IsPEcIAL TO TIE lrrKlL.l

MONTGOMERY, ALA. April 29.-The
last day OF the exercises attending the
reception of Mr.. Davis proved to be a
perfect ene. 1t was made a fitting
close commemorative Of the love and
esteem our people bear for him. The
laying of the cornerstone of the Con-
federate monument at Capitol Hill
occurred amid unusually impressive
Masonic ceremonies, and the huzzas
of thousands of people. The same
order of line of march was observed
as yesterday, Mr.. Davis being escorted
by Mayor Reese, chairman of the
Monument Committee.
Mr.. DAVIS
spoke in clear and resonant tones for
over hall an hour. Notwithstanding
the continued ovations and receptions
rendered him during The past forty
eight hours he looked remarkably
well. After his speech and the csre-
monies incident to the cornerstone
laying by the Masons, he reverently
bowed his head over the spot, the
immense crowd remaining in like
attitude. After the ceremonies had
concluded, a reception of veterans
followed in the Governors office,
many old soldiers crowding in to
shake the hands OF Messrs Davis and
Gordon. This afternoon the Ladies'
Memorial Association
DECORATED THE SOLDIERS GRAVES.
Mr.. Davis and Gen. Gordon were
honored guests. During the whole of
the two days ovation to the honored
ex-President and the distinguished
General, nothing has happened to mar
the pleasant features. Every one
seemed to think it his duty to assist
in the noble undertaking Of erecting
a marble shaft as an attestation of the
valorous deeds of the South's fallen
sons. Mr.. Davis leaves tomorrow on
a special decorated train for Atlanta,
escorted by a committee from the lat
ter place, where he goes to attend the
OF the Hill monument
From there he expects to go to Savan-
nah, The Busch Zouaves of St Louis
arrived here to night. They give an
drill here tomorrow.

The fence law of Mississippi is a
good law and ought to be enforced.
If it is small farmers will learn to take
personal care OF their stock, to value
it more highly than they do, and to
take especial pains with milch COWS

of the fence law. They have nothing
10 fear from it, but all to gain.

then turned over the rest OF the pro-
ceedings to the Grand Lodge of Ma
sons, who laid the cornerstone ac-
cording to Masonic rites. The first
article deposited in the stone was

A Cool House,

A man who had read the advertisement
and who had examined the house called
on Battleton.
"My idea," said he, "is to purchase a
healthful place"
"The very house you want" said Bat
Teton.
"AIy greatest difficulty is in getting a
place where can sleep comfortably at

"Then you are fortunate in selecting
my house."

"You say it is cool?"

The man bought the house and paid
for it. Shortly afterward he sought
Battleton, and in an excited manner
exclaimed:
You have told me falsehood."
"How 500"
"You said that the house which I
bought of you is COOL"
"Well?"
"But l find it to be the hottest house

"This IS June, my friend"
"Yes."

A slx-foot Yankee, seated upon load
of brooms, drove his team up before the
door of an establishment where he ex-

from his seat he entered the store and the

Yankee--"Can't l sell you load of

ment as if in deep thought and then re
piled: "Well, don't want any brooms

he commenced to unload the brooms in q
pile on the sidewalk. When he got
through he walked into the store.
"There you are, mister; fourteen dozen,
