THE agony is over. Gov. Taylor
says he will not be candidate for a
third term. The Pulaski Citizen can
now "bring in another horse"
GEN. CLINTON B. FISK emphati-
cally denies the rumor that he has
deserted the prohibition third party.
ETe heartily endorses the action of the
New Jersey State convention and its
nominee.
A REPORT comes from West Tenn
essee that the Louisville & Nashville
has bought the Tennessee Mid
land Railroad. Maj. E. R. Richard
son, of Nashville, one of the Directors
of the Midland, says there is no truth
in the rumor.
SOME interest is now being created
in Nashville over a new railroad pro-
iect to be known as the Nashville
Northern. 1t is to extend from Nash
vile to Princetown, KY, probably
via GAINESVILLE, and connect with the
Ohio Valley Railroad.
DICK HALsEY is now showing the
editorial quill on the Athens Demo-
crat, and he will make things very
lively for the McMinn county Re-
publicans in the next campaign. He
is one of the best paragraphists on the
rural press of Tennessee.
Mr.. WIN. X. VANDERBILT Of
New York, has just completed new
stable on his premises, and it is such
an elegant affair that a grand ball
was given in it Wednesday night.
1t was elegantly decorated with plush
furniture, rich rugs, flowers, etc.
A SUCCESSFUL experiment has been
made on the Baltimore & Ohio Rail-
road with new engine using coke as
fuel. There is no smoke and no Gin
ders from these engines, and should
they come into general use the COM
fort of travellers will be very much
enhanced.
JOHN r. BEAsLEY, who made the
race for governor in this state some
years ago as the nominee of the
Greenback party, is now compost
tor on the Memphis Scimitor. 1t is
to be hoped he will never fall from
grace again so far as to become the
candidate of a third party.
