THE SIGN THAT CONQUERS English Judicial Decisions and imeri,
 can P.rlcrsion.

Some Lancashire mill owners en- tered into t COunter-COmbinatiOn against their men (who had com bincd to force their masters to yield to certain terms) not to open their mills for twelve months except on terms agreed to by the majority of such mill owners. Whether this agreement of the masters was valid, was the subject of elaborate discus slons ill the Court of Queens Bench, and the Court of Error. "I enter on such considerations" said Lord Campbell m delivering his judg- ment, "wth much reluctance and apprehension, when l think how different generations of judges, and different judges of the same genara- tion, have differed on questions of political economy, and other topics connected with the adjudication of such cases" The Court held the agreement void, as contrary to pub Ilc policy in restraint of trade, and the free actions of individuals; and the judgment was confirmed unanl- mously by the Court of Error.
 This case, arising under the Eng fish Combination Laws, being lIil- ton rs EckersIey, reported in 6 Fl. X B., 41. 24 l.. J. (new series), c. B. 3j?, and D l.. J. new series), C. E. l99, must be of special inter est to American workmen, who, by the grace of their masters, find them selves on the street, while sacred Lady Justitia is fully engaged to punish strikers and hang others. without becoming aware that the sauce good for the goose< ought to be good for the gander. However, con sistency is no jewel with our judges, and the same act done by the same persons differs in legal or illegal quality according to the animus eX- pressed in the sign <, which means that he who believes in it and has got it, shall conquer.

Stratton---West.

Quite a ripple of pleasant excite
ment was created here last Monday
morning when it become known that
Mr.. Thos. F. Stratton and Miss Leila
West would be married at one
O'Clock that afternoon. While the
consummation was somewhat ex-
pected by many, the suddenness of
it was a genuine surprise. The mar
riage took place at the residence of
DIR. j. s. Harrison, uncle of the bride
with whom she has made her home
for a number of years, the ceremony
being pronounced by Elder III. l..
Walling. The groom is a popular
young merchant traveller for Nash
vile firm, and the bride is most es-
Unable young lady, richly endowed
with charms and G races. The hap
Ply couple left on the afternoon train
for Nashville. We extend to both
our heartiest congratulations and
good wishes.

-Messrs Sugar & Bass have opened
their saddle and harness shop in the

recently purchased and fitted up for
that purpose. They are now re-
ceiving and opening a full stock of
all goods in their line. They will
manufacture all kinds of single or

see such enterprises started in

build up fine trade.
Mr.. H. w. Rumbley, General
Agent for the National Garment

for several months, will move his
headquarters in "a week or two to

Mr.. Rumbley has mademany friends
both for himself and the Garment
Cutter. 1t was new system and a
new business to our people, but the
success which has followed its intro
duction has fully established its
merits. Mr.. Rumbley has sent out
large number of agents from here, all
of whom are doing good business,
and has sold large quantity of terri
tory. Every adjoining county to
Warren has been sold, and this will
in all probability be sold before he
leaves. There can be no question Of
the utility of the National Garment
Cutter, or of its superiority over all
other systems of cutting, with any
one who gives it "a trial, or even q
casual examination. 1t is so simple
so easy and so perfect that any cir
old enough to handle pencil and
pair of scissors can in a few hours
learn to cut all kinds of gar
ments with as much accura cy
as the most skillful dressmakers. Ir
addition to its simplicity it secures
to every one who uses it the mos

number of the cutters have been sole

Courthouse in McMinnville, at 10
O'Clock free of charge, to hear a lee
ture on Progressive Farming from

have in our State.
DIR. V. M. Metcalfe, of KY, has al
so consented to deliver lecture on
",S0ils and their Treatment" This is
perhaps the most practical and i'm
portant subject of this age for the
farmers. DR.; M. is not stranger to
many of us. His lectures are inter-
esting, instructive and profitable. No
farmer should miss this opportunity
of hearing these lectures. Come
Farmers, Come. You may be busy at
home with your crops,y yet it will be
day well spent. Bring your wives,
your sons and daughters along.
DR.. Metcalfe requests any farmer
who has soil that he does not under
stand to bring half pound, taken just
below the surface. He may give
some light. Come and spend a profit
able day. FARMER.
