We re to have week at Christmas
and no more. DIR. Hersman is going
to request our parents not to let us
leave before recitations suspend.
Sam E. Orr and w. B. Trawick are
planning a five-days-camp-out-hunt
during the Christmas holidays.
There will be very little game alive
by January LIST.
Let the citizens of GAINESVILLE come
out to the Washington Irving contest
tonight. The ablest men of the So
ciety will speak and everone knows
what that means. Come at 1880.
There are seventeen speakers on
the intermediate list, to speak on
the 18th and 18th. Nine are Stewards
and seven belong to the Washington
Irving. One of them belongs to no
society. Nine are "frat" men and
eight are "barbs."

MoRMoN1sm.

To witness the constant increase OF
Mormonism in this country is enough
to stagger faith in modern civilizaiio ion
and human progress. To say moth
ing of their very large monthly i'm,
portation of converts from Europe,
they are rapidly on the increase in
several of our Northwestern States,
and especially so in all of our terri
tories. Nor is this all. Their pros
elytes are scattered all over the South,
and are daily making converts.
Even here in Tennessee they are at
work. The same is the case in por-
tons of North Carolina and Virginia.
This should be stopped. 1t is all well
enough to say a man should be al
lowed to worship God according to
the dictates of his own conscience
until it comes to Mormonism A
Mormon has no conscience.

Association for the Advancement OF
Science by Mr.. w. III. Douglas. The
new feature is the torsion pendulum,
which, with lever and escapement,
may be applied to ordinary works,
and by its slow rate of vibration
makes practicable the conversion of
an eight-day clock into one requiring
winding only once year.
PHOTOGRAPHIC PROGRESS.
Among recent camera achievements
is portrait copy taken by the light
of a Cuban FREELY in thirty seconds,
and photograph of the aurora bore
ais. To obtain the latter had been
declared an utter impossibility.

BETTER THAN BEAUTY

A woman may be handsome or re-
snarkably attractive in various ways,
but If she is not personally neat she
cannot hope to win admiration Fine
clothes will not conceal the slattern.
A young woman with her hair
always in disorder and her clothes
hanging about her as il, suspended by
a prop, is always repuisive. Slattern
is written on her person from the
crown of her headfo the toes Of her
feet and if she wins husband he
will turn an idol fool or a drunken
ruffian. Thebringing up of daughters
to be able TO work, act and talk like
honest sensible young women is the
especial task of all mothers, and in
the industrial ranks there is imposed
also the prime obligations Of learning
how to inspect household work for its
own sake and the comfort and happi-
ness it will bring in the future.

New York Tobacco Market.

Sawyer, Wallace & Co., under date
of December 1, say: The business of
the past month shows but a slight
increase over that of the one preced-
ing. Manufacturers and jobbers
bought more freely, and several small
parcels were taken by the various
regies. Foreign markets are only
moderately active, with more or less
irregularity in prices. The Western
markets closed firm tostrong for dark,
both leaf and Tugs, in sound condi-
ton, with a more general demand
than existed a month ago. Very
little new has yet appeared on the
breaks, and most of it was taken by
re-handlers at quite full prices. Coun-
try dealers who have examined the
crop in the barns, generally report it
of good size and spread of leaf, but
thin, lacking body, and much of it
green in color. Receipts of new Bur-
ley have been large, and prices de-
clined 2 to 4c., principally on account
of the poor quality. In the Clarks-
vile district, stemmers are paying
AZ to sic, and some crops have been
bought by prizers at 6 to Sc. round.
We believe comparatively little has
changed hands in the Green River
section, though we hear of purchases
at Providence at sc. round for selected
crops. The meeting at GAINESVILLE,
Tenn, on 2Sth ult., was largely at
tended by representatives from six
teen tobacco growing counties, and,
almost UNANIMOUSLY, voted IN favor
of what is called the "Abstension
Policy" or no planting of tobacco
next year. How far this policy may
be carried out in these and other
counties we do not know, but the
trade generally in the districts grow
ing dark tobacco seem ripe for any
move that will prevent their extinc-
ton. Perhaps the discussion of the
subject thus widely is the cause of the
firmer feeling apparent in the markets
at the close of the month, which will
make rapid progress if the agreement
be generally adopted and faithfully
adhered to.

THE biggest election bet fool yet
unearthed turns up in Bridgeport,
Conn. He mortgaged his house and
furniture, pledged an insurance policy
on himself and wife, put up his gold
watch and chain, bet all his ready
cash, and backed his opinions further
by betting his team of horses and
buggy against yoke of oxen and a
cart that Harrison would be defeated.
On election day he was advised to
hedge, but that made him angry,
and he swore that he would dig a
cave and go into it, and not show his
face to a living mortal until after the
4th of March should the Republicans
be successful, and to emphasize his
oath he bet two years grocery bill
with a Republican neighbor that he
would fulfill his vows. Last week
he completed his cave and took up
his habitation therein. Even the
knowledge that the man he made
the bet with had declared it off, nor
the appeals of his invalid wife and
many friends, have had any effect
upon him. He is there to do pen
nance, and there he will stay.

they Did Not Wed.

The South Kentuckian says: In
the last issue of the Kentuckian ap.
peared an item stating that Mr.
Lucian Cayce and Miss Matte
Mcknight had been married in
GAINESVILLE Sunday. From com
munication received yesterday, it
seems the young couple did not mar
ry as announced. They went to
GAINESVILLE from Herndon together,
but after reaching that Gretna Green
where SO many Kentucky couples
have had their destinies united, they
for some cause, failed to put their
plans into execution and the young
man returned home still minus a
bride. Miss Mcknight remained a
few days to visit young lady friend
in GAINESVILLE.

For the first time during the
present Administration the public
debt statement, to be issued last week,
will fail to announce a reduction.
On the contrary, it will show an
apparent increase of over $11, 900, 900.
This, of course, is not an actual in
crease in the debt, but is simply a
reduction in the available cash in the
Treasury for paying the debt. This
unusual showing is explained by the
fact that during November the pay
ments on pensions alone aggregated
500, 600, 900.

Jay Gould's wife brought him as a
marriage portion $4,000 She loaned
it to her husband, who made invest
ments that were profitable. Two or
three years ago she said to Jay, it
was about time to settle theiraccounts;
that she thought she would retire
from the market. He had her
account made up, which showed a
balance Of over two million dollars
in her favor. He gave her check
for the amount, and she invested in
government bonds now held in her
own name. So she dosen't worry
about her husbands speculations.

THE ovation to Hon. Samuel J.
Randall, on his appearance at the
opening of Congress, was a just
tribute to an able and eminent states
man. No matter how much some
Democrats may differ from Mr.. Ran
dali on the tariff, no true Southerner
can ever forget, or wish to forget, his
gallent defense of the South when
her friends in Congress could be num-
beYed on one mans fingers. There
is nothing trucking or deceptive
about Samuel ]. Randall. He is
honest and outspoken, whatever else
he may be.

A FRENCHMAN in this country
who had a chance to see our people
Just after the late election was sur
prised at the sight of Democrat
shooting off fireworks in honor of
Harrison. 1t was significant thing
to him. 1t was something he had
not expected, that the vanquished
should join the victors in honoring a
candidate. If he stays long enough
in this country, that Frenchman will
see something even more surprising.
He will see the great mass of the
Democracy accepting Harrison's adj
ministration and helping to make it
a success for the country's common
good. And anything similar he
could not possibly see in Republican
France.
