Old lumbermen say they never saw the
swamps and bitches frozen so solid as at the
present time. Although but little snow some
teams are doing quite a business.
A correspondent of the Madison Bulletin
from Brighton writes: Mrs. b. +. Hutchins
of this town, has a sister, Mrs. Sue Dyer,
living in Dexter. who for many years has
been a great sufferer from an unknown cause.
For few years past Mrs. Dyer has thought
she could feel some creature moving in her
stomach; and few days ago it came so far
into her throat as to enable her TO touch it
with her finger. A physician was called, and
upon learning the symptoms of the case.
agreed with Mrs. Dyer that her stomach
must contain some living creature, and
at once gave remedies TO destroy it.
Soon after taking the medicine the move
ments of the creature became so painful as
TO throw the patient into commissions which
lasted several hours. Mrs. Dyer in a few
DAYS after was relieved of a snake twenty
one inches in length. 1t is feared she may
not recover.

A Thriving City.

The Mckenzie, Tenn, Leader has
this to say: On our recent visit to
GAINESVILLE we had the pleasure of
meeting many old-time friends.
First among the number was w. R.
Bringhurst, proprietor of the we'll
known and popular hotel, Franklin
House. This house is the drummers
home in every sense of the word. 1t
could not be otherwise when presided
over by such charming host and
hostess as Mr.. and Mrs. Bringhurst.
Our acquaintance with Billy Bring
hurst, as he is Familiarity known,
dates back to the commencement of
the late unpleasantness when he was
a slender beardless boy, battling for
the "lost cause" Having witnessed
his gallantry and bravery displayed
in many of the hotley contested bat
ties, it was truly said of him that
Drawer boy never wore the gray. A
more generous or noble heart never
beat. The man is typical of the boy.
We found him the same, frank, gen.
erous and noble-soul of &c years ego.
To the travelling public, we say,
stop with Bringhurst at the Franklin
House and you will be treated with
all the courtesy, kindness and good
attention possible, and you will find
his table well filled with all the SUBJ
stantials and delicacies, and prepared
to suit the taste of the most fastidi-
Gus.
Remember him boys when you
stop at GAINESVILLE.

THE ABsTENTIoN POLICY.

The Waverly Times Journal says !:
The farmers of Montgomery county
and what is known as the GAINESVILLE
Tobacco District are having large
discussions on the tobacco question
whether or not it is most to their in
terest to plant any the coming spring.
Those favoring no planting think it
the only way to increase prices, now
and for some time past very low,
and urge as arguments many reasons
why the result desired will in this
way be accomplished. If this be the
way to bring about better prices like
policy adopted by the pea growers of
this section would produce like re-
suits, and we beg to suggest that
members of the Agricultural Wheel
give the matter their earnest thought.
OF course there are reasons against
adopting a policy of abstention
The owners of small farms and rem
tiers and crop sharers may not be
able to change at once, profitably,
their paintings to other products as
could the owners Of large farms, but
in the end and at no distant day, will
it not be the better policy9 AS it is
now, with over production and exis-
ting combines of spectators ena-
lIinrr than to tnokn pornnrG AGAINST
the producers at will, these are not
lettering their condition, and will
not till u change is made and they
must make it. Perhaps to curtail
one-half or more of the acreage
planted might be better policy than
abstention. The matter is question
of great interest to our farmers and
demands their best thought.

FOR sEcTIoNALIsrs.

The Rev. A. ID. Mayo, of Boston, is
not the kind of witness the waivers
of the bloody shirt desire. Though
he enjoys the confidence and esteem
of all who know him, they turn
deaf ear to the testimony he gives of
the relations between the races in
the South. He has travelled extensive
IL in the South during the past eight
years as the agent ofthe trustees of the
Slater fund for the education of the
negro. He has found, acc )rding to a
statementin the Atlanta Constitution,
that the negro is well treated by the
whites. that there is no more dis
honesty in the Southern elections
than i'm Northern elections, and that
frequently the negroes do not vote
because they are ignorant and lack
organization. He warns his North
ern friends that it would not be wise
10 aid the negroes in controlling
affairs in the sections where they are
in the majority, because seven-eights

whites would not submit to their

AFTER January all murderers in
New York who are to suffer-death
will be executed by electricity. Exr
periments are now being made in
New York with dumb animals and
it has been shown that the ordinary
electric light current was more than
twice the strength needed TO kill a
man. People yet do not fully APP
preciate the immense danger con-
nected with the electric light wire
and the electric light companies are
none too careful in guarding against
the charges. Not until some electric
light company has been indicted for
manslaughter will they awake to the
fact that every safeguard known to
science will not be any more than
enough to protect the public from
danger.

The p0st once.

Chief Clerk Fowler, of the appoint
ment division of the Post Office De
partment, says that there are now
5000 postmistresses in the United
States. He is convinced that they
are as good officials as their brethren,
the postmasters. The complaints
against them have been comparative
ly few, and in the fourth-class offices
their records as public servants have
been better than those of the men.
In explanation of this Mr.. Fowler
says he believes the women feel the
responsibility of their position more
than do the men; that their domestic
dispositions are the real causes for
their close attention to duty, and that
they are naturally more painstaking
and conscientious about their work
than the sterner sex.
GAINESVILLE has one of the best
postmasters it has ever had, and
she is lady, and we are sure every
merchant and citizen in town, with
the exception possibly of few spoils-
getters, would be very well pleased
to see her re-appointed, and when
the time comes a petition to that
effect will be unanimously signed.

A Ten Cent Dude.

New York Tribune: A pretty
young man sat opposite a prettier
young woman on Ninth avenue
elevated train. At Debrosses street
she left the car, and, burdened with
two valises, a small satchel and an
umbrella, she tripped laboriously
down stairs. The young man fol-
lowed and heard her ask the news
vender: II beg pardon, but can you
get me some one who wants to make
10 cents by carrying my luggage to
the ferry. ?"
An inspiration struck the
"masher," and turning suddenly, he
remarked: ~ should be glad to
earn that money"
every WE'LL" replied the young
woman, in a business-l;kc way,
dropping her bundles, "take them
up"
That ended the romance. The Ro-
man attempted TO walk at the
beauty,s side; but was promptly
ordered to walk behind, and crowd
from Jersey City was treated to a
funny sight. When the two princi.
pals in the comedy arrived at the
ferry house, amid the smokers of a
score of cab drivers; the young wo-
man stopped and said in loud
voice: "Set them down there
That's right! Here's your dime"
The bankruptcies grew scarlet
amid the stares Of 100 people. AS he
went away he heard q general outlaw
behind him.

A CORRECT DECISION.

The Louisville Courier-Journal, re-
ferring to the action of the Demo-
cratic governor of Louisiana in Civ
ing the Republican member Of Con-
gress elect, in the first district of that
State, his certificate of election, and
the decision of the Democratic gov
ernor of Tennessee to give Evans the
certificate, says: "The contests in
these districts were exceedingly close,
and charges Of fraud were made with
every evidence of truth to sustain
them, but the Democratic governors
very wisely concluded that these
charges were not subjects fer their
investigation, but must be referred
to the next House, even though that
next House, being Republican, would
decide the cases without any evil
dence whatever"
Ma an interview with Chatta-
mooga Times reporter Gov. Taylor
says: "Among distinguished men
whose opinions asked for to guide
me and make me doubly sure in my
Judgment were Hon. Luke Wright,
of Memphis, and Judge Howell Il.
jackson, both of whom, the latter a
Judge of the bench, advised me that
/ could do nothing else except give
the certificate of election to Mr..
Evans.o
The Knoxville Sentinel (dem.)
says: "Gov. Taylor has done the
right thing at the right time and in
the right way. Mr.. Bates may
have good case, and contest be-
fore congress, if he decides to make
one, may show that he and not
Evans was elected, but it is manifest
ly not the duty of the governor to go
behind the returns"
The Louisville Times (Dem.) says:
"Gov. Taylor, of Tennessee, has de-
cided to give certificate of election to
Evans, the Republican candidate for
congress in the third district of that
State. This is a just decision. There
were some irregularities in two cOun-
ties, but the result was not thereby
affected.

And They Went Down Into the Water"

\ crowd of about eight hundred
people assembled on the banks of
the Cumberland, yesterday after
noon, to see the ordinance of bap-
tism exemplified in the good-old
way. After the preliminary speech
and collection, Rev. Stokes, of the
colored Baptist church, waded out
into the ice cold water, and one by
one, immersed fifty-seven candidates.
The baptism was very quiet and good
order prevailed.
