The Somerset Republican, a semi
weekly organ ofthe Republican party
in the Eleventh district, has been
discontinued and its proprietors will
issue in its stead The Pulaski News,
a non-political weekly. The reason
assigned is that the Republicans of
the county and district did not give
the paper support enough to make it
a paying property to its owners.

Mr.. John S. Rhea declined Judge
Hallsell's propositions to settle the
Congressional middle in the Third
district and submitted proposition
of his own. lie expressed willing
ness TO let the matter be arbitrated
by four or five men, two to be chosen
by himself, two by lIallsell and the
four named to select a fifth in the
event they could not agree. If he
proved that he had 351S delegate
votes that bore the credentials signed
by the county chalrmen he was to be
the nominee and if Hallsell proved
otherwise then he, Rhea, would get
off the track and support him. Hall.
sell in turn rejected this proposition
upon the ground that his acceptance
of the plan proposed would concede
the nomination to Rhea, since the
county chairmen had signed the
Rhea credentials in the contested
counties of Allen and Edmonson.
The breach is now wider than ever

This from the Bowling Green
Times puts anew phrase ON the much
mixed middle in the Third district
at is reported that Rev. II. A. Glib
son, very worthy and intelligent
colored preacher, of this city, will en-
ter the race for congress in few days
and make thorough canvass of the
district. 1t is said that the white re-
publicans will not vote for the colored
men, and that they have about made
up their minds to be independent in
their political actions, and will here
after put forward men of their own
color for offices. There are fully
5000 colored voters in the district
and if Messrs. Halsell and Rhea di.
vide the Democratic vote and the
regular Republican nominee gets the
white vote of his party, Gibson can
if he gets the full vote of his race, b,
elected. We have not seen the Rev
Gibson on the subject but have pref
ty good authority for stating that h,
is seriously considering the matter.

A Touching Inscription.
philadelphia Times.

In Bath county, Va, there lives
very prominent family by the name
of Terrill. Before the war it cut con-
siderable of swath in the social and
political life of that section, When
the war broke out, William Ii. Ter
rill, one of the sons, took TO the Union
side and soon became a soldier of
great promise. lie was killed while
leading a brigade at Perryville,
where the gallant Jackson fell ; and
where General Lyle, who wrote 81
am Dying, Egypt, Dying" was
wounded. His death was sad one,
for he was just reaching after the
flower of great fame. 1t Is easy for
me to recall the circumstances of his
heroic fall when some of the bravest
and best of the Michigan cavalry fol-
lowed this gallant soldier to the I'M
seen land.
Gen. Terrill's brother went in the
Confederate army, and while leading
his brigade at Cold lIarbor was kill
ed. The father brought the remains
of his two gallant sons home and
buried them on the farm where both
had spent their childhood days, and
where they had grown to manhood
and there parted over question O
duty to State or Nation. Both hat
lain down their lives for their senti
ments. Between the simple graves
of the boys the father has erected {
marble slab, A most touching in
scription is cut in the white stone. I
chides neither one. 1t expresses faitl
in the Creator, and leaves Him +
judge the two heroes conduct. 1t

While the majority are in favor OF it.,

Many oftho citizens will tell you they
have never thought anything about
the importance of such law, and
men who are in favor ofthe traffic are
endeavoring to make votes for it by
holding out high taxes, but it does
not take a thinking man long TO see
that for every dollar we take in as
revenue for whisky we pay out ten

the maintenance of paupers
caused by intemperance. Gentlemen
let your vote be "dry" and after the
first Tuesday in November you can

assured he is with his sweetheart

A Doctor and His Son Injured-A Drag and q
Horse Car on the Same Track.
On Saturday evening and Sunday there
was report in this city that DR.. II. E. Musser,
of Winners Station, had been killed by the
cars at Bird-in-H Hand. Yesterday the story
ran that DR.. Miller was the victim and he had
been killed about noon by the cars Late
Monday afternoon this story went around
the city at lightning speed and nearly every
body but the reporters believed it. The two
stories seem to have originated from an acci-
dent which occurred to DIR. Musser at Bird
INLAND ON Saturday evening. He stopped at
the railroad track while q train was crossing
and Just as 1t passed another came dashing
by, going in an opposite direction. The train
came so suddenly that the doctors horse
became frightened aud turned suddenly
around. The buggy was upset and the
doctor and his little son, who was with him.
sprained and was considerably cut and
bruised. The little boy was badly cut about
the face. The story about Dr. Miller arose
from the fact that some one said Bird-in-
Hand doctor had been killed.
This forenoon Silas Wright, w. G. Arm
strong, and Sam'l Nc cDowell, who are in town
attending the fair, started with driver to go
to McGrann's park. They had two horses and
drag belonging to Cyrus Colvin. They
drove out Chestnut street aud attempted to
cross the street car track on Duke street. The
cars going to the park run very fast at this
point, In order to get up the grade leading to
the railroad bridge. just as the drag got ON
the track the horses OF street car ran into it
A wheel was broken from the vehicle and
the occupants fell to the ground. Mr..
Wright had one arm severely injured, al.
though 1t is not broken, and he was co m
siderably cut about the lace. Mr.. Armstrong
was also cut and bruised, while McDowells
injuries did not amount to great deal.
