It seems from the following extract
from the code of Tennessee, that
everybody is not allowed to hunt
and fish in that lake:
Sec. no. 2205 of the code of Tennes-
see says it "shall not be lawful for
any person to hunt or fish for profit
on Reel Foot lake unless he be a
citizen of Obion or Lake county.
Citizens of other counties of the State
of Tennessee may fish or hunt for
their own use but not for profit"
Citizens of other States are not allow
ed to either fish or hunt on Reel Foot
at all and Sec. No. 2,206 says. "any
person or persons guilty under Sec.
2,205 shall be fined fifty dollars for
the first otfense and one hundred dol
lars for the second to &c tried before
any J. P. for Obion or Lake coun-
ties" etc.

Mr.. w. r. Bringhurst, of the
Franklin House, deserves great
credit for the prompt manner in
which he extinguished the fire yes
terday at the hall of the knights OF
Pythias. He bursted open the door
and procured buckets of water and
put it out in few minutes. Had
this been delayed little longer, we
would probably have had another
big fire.

which the Prohibition question has
been raised which may not only de
feat the candidates for the legislature
but be instrumental in defeating the
Democratic State ticket. 1T is well
known fact that the Davidson county
candidates were defeated in 1886 on
account of instruction. Here the dis
organizers are crying a primary
against the wish of the party, for they
admit, they didn't ask for it from the
convention because they knew it
would not be granted. In Houston
and Dickson they are RUNNING an
independent candidate for Senator.
Why all this disturbance. Never be-
fore in this county has primaries
been held for Senator. Never have
they been asked. The answer is
easy. The "boss'' assumes that he is
the Democratic Party Of the state and
that his will shall be the rule of ac-
ton of the party in the State and his
little bosses in Montgomery county
assume that they are the Democratic
party of the county, and their sweet
little will shall control the party here.
The Democratic party will never
have a better opportunity to rebuke
this spirit of bossism than now and
the best way to do it is to vote the
straight Democratic ticket, and let
their primary box alone.

tanned in any way the choice ola ma
jority of the Democrats of my

THE ONLY SAFETY.

The only safety for the Democratic
party or for any other party is to fol-
low the organization of the party.
In organization alone can success be
assured. This refers not only to
voting for the regular nominees of
the party, but adhering to the dis
cision of the organization upon
every other question. In our county
the party refused to call primary
and few gentlement the representa-
tives of Senator Harris, has called
one. This is as much an open revolt
against the party as if they had in
dependent candidates in the field.
The gentlemen themselves well
know it and so intend it. They
have been in open revolt against the
party ever since the nomination of
candidates for the Legislature, and
their withdrawal of their independ-
ent candidates was not on account of
the division they had brought about
in the party, but because they saw
their candidates would be the worse
defeated candidates that ever run in
the county. The Republicans could
not be induced to give up their race
as party, and after the anti Prohibi-
ton leaders in Nashville had deter
mined to stand by the organization
of the party, they were left with no
support except the little committee
who met in small room in the
Courthouse and resolved itself into
the Democratic party and nominated
the Independent candidates. So small
and insignificant was this committee,
it was not even necessary to call it
together to withdraw the candidates.
The few speakers appointed to adj
dress the people at Moody's, although
they had proclaimed to the world
that the greatest outrage in the annals
of history, had been committed on the
people, simply announced their with
drawal of the candidates. From this
action we see who the great disaffect-
ed were. That it was only very
few men.
They are still engaged in fighting
the Democratic organization. They
are making speeches all over the
county from day to day in favor of
primary and Senator Harris, and we
doubt if they say word for the
Democratic ticket. If we are to
Judge their speeches by the utter
ances Of their organ, they say moth
ing for the candidates. They could |
not have been induced by the Demo
cratic Executive Committee to unite
in canvass for the party. They
must make their own appointments
and their own canvass entirely indie
pendent Of the party. The people |
should rebuke these self-constituted |
guardians OF the Democratic party by |
to have any thing to do in
any way with their little side show,
the primary box. The truth is, every
kind of disorganization ought to be
promptly rebuked, and if it
were, great trouble would be saved to
the party in the future. We hope
the Democrats will all turn out and
vote the straight ticket, but let the
primaries alone. The experience of
all those who have tried them is that
even when conducted by the party,
md in the best manner possible, they
ire frauds. How much more so
hen must they be when conducted
Dy one side and without authority.

INSTRUCTIONS.

How much better it is to leave
matters where the constitution leaves
them, and in the elections simply
work unitedly for the success of the
party, leaving to the representatives
the performance of the duties re-
quired of them. Had this course
been pursued how different would
matters now be in Tennessee. In
Shelby county the convention in
structed for Harris and the best in
formed Democrats at Memphis are
apprehensive ofthe result. In Maury
county, contrary to agreement be-
tween the parties before the election

ted for Harris and now there is dam

has been called and bitter and par

Stories OF Untold Suffering and
Distress During tho Winter
Just Passed.

A reporter for the LEDGER was
handed a letter from a Kansas
town this morning, which tells in a
graphic manner a tale of untold suf-
fering during the past winter in the
southwestern part of that State.
It's writer is appalled, by the lying.
and intriguing resorted to by the
newspapers and land boomers of
that section TO cover up the true
state of affairs. He says: mo
doubt the Eastern papers have.
oyer-reached the number frozen to
death, but as far rs other things
are concerned they have put it
mild. Since a few weeks of delu-
sive, spring-like weather has some
what paliated the sufferings of the
people, the papers turn round and
say it is all a falsehood; the people
don't need aid, and that, too, since
the eastern part of the State has re-
sponded SO nobly to the call of dis
tress, and we have just learned that
three a loads of supplies were al
most here but had been sent back on
the strength of what had been pub
lished.
The writer continues, detailing
the suffering of strong men and
little children. "a great strong
man is to be pitied when he made
weak from hunger" he says, "but
there is a depth of woe for a woman
underlying this that a man can
never know, for many is-the time
| have heard the pitiful wall Of a
small voice, IF l only had some
butter or gravy to go on my bread!'
It's dreadful, yet u newspapers,
mortgage holders and land boomers
go on lying about the wonderful
country in which we have unfor-
tunately cast our lot"
Another writer, r. w. Drake, OF
Lakeland, Meade county, Kansas,
makes an equally astounding state.
ment; and in the face of all these
stories, which of yearly are recur.
renee, substantial Audrain county
farmers will sell their productive
acres inthe grandest State of them
all, and move to Kansas, to be.
come candidates for the poor.
house. But they are growing wiser
and the number of emigrants is
growing less with every year.
