A coIored Mob At Fairview.

The Hopkinsville Kentuckian says:
"For some time lot Of colored
hOodlums have been filling them
selves with something said to be ci-
der on Saturday nights and disturb
ing the citizens of Fairview with
their yelling, shooting of pistols, and
such conduct. Last Saturday night
as usual they filled up and undertook
to take the place. They finally con-
cluded to go and break up a church
festival at colored church and went
in and opened fire with their pistols
in a promiscuOus manner. One of
the deacOns, Sam Finch, was shot in
the head and Minor Tandy, another
deacon, had five holes shot through
his overcOat. Finally the deacons
went after the white folks to help
them and Henry Layne, Tom Clark,
Ed. Shanklin and others went to the
scene of terror and bloodshed and
succeeded in capturing Lee Bell, Joe
Bell, Ed. Bell, John Holland, Abe
Glenn, Litse Glenn, and Edmund
Snodden and landed them in the
town Jail.

No Reason why clsrksvilIe should Not
Have Il.

The town of Norwalk, in Northern
Ohio has been granted free delivery
other mails, and the question natur-
ally arises if Norwalk can have it,
Why can't we? Norwalk has but
7 900 inhabitants, and not as many
city improvements as GAINESVILLE.
The law reads that place must have
10000 inhabitants, with paved streets,
good sidewalks, fire department,
water works, etc. Now we have near
ly all these requisites. We have
electric lights, gas, street cars, paved
streets, fire department, water works,
nearly 5000 inhabitants in the city
limits, and we understand the re-
ceipts of the GAINESVILLE post-Otfice
arc within a small sum of the re-
quired amount, This last deficit can
be easily made up by our merchants
paying their small bills in postage
stamps. We know of a town that Sc.
cured free mail delivery in this way,
the merchants of the town buying
over a thoasand dollars worth OF
stamps, and explaining to their credi-
tors why they paid their bills that
way. No objections were made, and
the town got what it was after. We
believe the town is entitled to it. II
would be O'grea6 help to our ware
house men, and would give us more
of the air of a city.
The proper way to proceed is &c
have our postmaster draw up petit
ton to the Postmaster General, stat
ling the advantage we have, and ask
ing him to SEMI an inspector here.
This petition should be signed by
every merchant in. the town; and
forwarded on to Washington. Let
this be done before the new admins
tration gets in, and we will be sure
to get it. What do you say, shall
we try 1T?

The Tobacco Crop.

The Henderson News says
'Kentucky planters can never rea-
sonably expect to realize the profit
on raising tobacco that frequently
characterized the trade previous to
the civil war. An active competi-
ton, caused by so much land being
used in cultivating the weed, has
forced natural decline in prices and
profits, and, considering the labor
and attention required, with the ex-
haustion Of soil produced, the ruling
market rate of the staple promises
but meagre compensation to the
farmer engaged in the culture. TO.
day both foreign and home market
are fairly gIutte with all descriptions
especially the lower qualities. If
our agricultural friends will fully re-
alize the true situation, they will take
care to plant smaller crops of Il better
grade, for only by such a method can
Il proper return justify their labors.

there when he returned shot and
killed him. lie came to town and
gave himself up to the authorities.

Our Young Folks Again.

We received a communication this
morning endorsing our article in
yesterdays paper, and suggesting as
another means of entertainments a
debating or literary association. The
idea is n good one. We know OF
several instances where such a society
has been of great help to the young
people. 1t learns them to speak in
public, urges them on to investigate
into different subjects, and is of vast
help in various ways by making the
young folks think for themselves.

and best general stores in this section

Characteristic of the men, and we
quote it for the benefit ofall: "Good
quality, Honest quantity, Sell them
cheap; Sell a heap, and keep eternally
at it."

Gun PUBLIC SCHOOL.
A High Standard Of Excellence Secured
and Better Results Than Ever
Before.

Having few spare moments this
morning our reporter dropped in on
Supt. Graham at the public school
building this morning, and found
him enthusiastic over the work of the
scholars, and deeply interested in
their progress.
Under his efficient guidance we be.
gan a tour of the building, beginning
at the lower grades and progressing
towards the top. Each room was
well filled with bright-faced clean
looking children, from the little
cherub who is just learning his let
tiers, to the older ones who are a
budding into young man and woman
hood.
In the Third grade, which is pre-
sided over by Mrs. Shackelford, as
principle, we listened to two classes
during recitation, one in geography
and one in arithmetic, the amount
of kowledge that those children have
got in their head, as to the topograph-
ical appearance ofthe country with IFS
rivers, cities, bays, lakes, etc., and
the hard problems that they solved
with ease and dispatch, was remark
able. We doubt, if outside of the
schools, there are a half dozen per
sons in this city who are as well in
formed as they. Particular attention
is also given to the manner in which
they read, write and spell. The
Superintendent said that there was
one thing the chiIdren were taken
especial pains with, and that was the
use of the English languagecorrectly.
We endorse his ideas there, every
time.
One thing that especially interested
us was the new system of heating the
rooms that have recently been intro
duced into the building. The sys-
tenn was put in by the Rutton Heater
Co., of Chicago, ILL.,, and although
not yet an entire success, still enough
has been accomplished to demon
strate the fact that the system is
success. Better circulation is secured,
and as consequence better air is
found in the rooms than in any
school rooms we have ever been in.
The scholars are bright and healthy,
and are free from coughs and colds,
We have often been in rooms where
there was so much coughing going
on that the teacher would have to
pause and wait for it to cease. Bet
ter attendance is secured as a natural
consequence. Ofthe 576 scholars who
are enrolled, there is an average a.
tendance of 500, which is a better
average than ever before. The air
as it passes out from the rooms all
goes through the dry closets, which
are a vast help to the sanitary ar
rangement of the buildings, and are
proving a complete success.
After an hour and la half spent very
pleasantly in the rooms we withdrew
fully satisfied that our young people
are in efficient hands, and are making
splendid progress toward fitting
themselves for the different walks Of
life. Our thanks are due to Superin-
tendent Graham, for his kind atten-
ton and information impaired, and
GAINESVILLE can rest assured that her
young people are receiving proper
training and under good hands.

A distinguished company OF gentle
men passed through this country last
Thursday In special train on the
Manitoba road. The train stopped
two hours In Hancock and one hour
la Morris. The large farm Of the
Minnesota Agricultural Co. was visi-
ted near Hancock and other places OF
interest. The result of the visit here
was by no means satisfactory to the
people OF Morris aud could not have
been to the gentlemen Of the party,
because no notice OF their coming was
given and no preparations for their
entertainment were made. A few
teams were secured and portion of
the company were given an opportu-
nifty to visit Riverside Stock farm,
but farther than this nothing could
be done. The company was composed
of the editors of the leading agricul-
tural papers of the country-Mr.
George, OF the Western Rural, Orange
Judd. of the Prairie Farmer, Col.
Stevens, of Farm Stock and Home,
and numerous others of equal promi-
nence. They are making a trip, em-
bracing all the main lines of the
Manitoba road, to see for themselves
the agricultural aud other resources
and advantages. As this is one of
the very choicest of all the counties
through which the Manitoba passes,
it is exceedingly unfortunate that
these editors were not permitted to
see enough of 1t to be able to note, q
few ut least, of its superior features.
