The Murfrecsboro Courier claims that the Democrats are more thor oughly organized in Pike than in any other county in the State, and that they will elect their ticket by at least 200 majority, From our read ing of the Courier, and information received from other trustworty sources, we believe this is true, and it affords the PICAYrNE great pleas ure to congratulate Pike county upon it. The Democrats of Pike, some what like those of Nevada, have had a pretty hard struggle for several years past. But the outlook for the true friends of honest government is more encouraging now, and every body is more hopeful. In Pike county the Courier is doing effec- tive service, ably assisted by Hon. J. P. Copeland, and we shall con iidently expect the Democratic tick ct to be triumphantly elected.

DOES THE DISPATCH KNOW
 WILL TT TELL?

We aimed to give brief of proceedings of |. l.. State convention, but mislaid our copy. The ticket and the platform are the most important itcms.- Dispatch.
 Will our contemporary inform the public how the l.. l.. F. stands on the question of taxation: Will the Dispatch explain to the public why the L. l.. platform contains not a word on that important subject? :? Does the Dispatch know that the tariff is a tax, and that the average rate of this tax on all articles of common necessity, except quinine, Is 42 per cent? Does the Dispatch know that for several years while there was a tariff tax on quinine, that valuablo-that indispensable medicine retaled to the consumer at from S3.j0 to 5000 per ounce: Does the Dispatch know that several years ago, through Democratic ef- fort, the tariff on quininc was re- moved, and that article placed on the free list--free from tariff taxa tion-and that the price of that in- dispensable medicine immediately dropped to Sl.25 per ounce, and rapidly declined to 15 cents-at, and even below, which pricc it has been retailing ever since: If the removal of the tax from quinine was good thing for the people, why would it not also be a good thing for them to at least reduce the tax on all other articles of common necessity: Pres ident Cleveland, in his message to Congress, said a large reduction could be made and still leave the tax high enough to raisc all the money needed for an honest administration of the Government. Strange to relate, for saying that he was defeated for second term by man who favored and still favors high tariff taxation. For saying this, the Dispatch and all the rest of the l.. l.. leaders worked and voted against him. But not withstanding this defeat and dis couragement, the Democrats in Con- presS have continued to make a gal lant and devoted fight for the people for a reduction of taxation and the free coinage of silver-for cheap CT commodities and more money. The Democratic press throughout the country is carrying on bold, fearless, aggressive warfare against high taxes and q contracted curren- cy. The people everywhere are be- coming aroused. They are rallying to the support of the Democratic party in her long, hard fight for cheaper necessaries of life and more money.
 Again we ask the Dispatch why the l.. l.. State convention failed to say a word upon this important question of taxation: Did Powell Clayton and Poker Jack Mcclure forbid it? We, of course, expect nothing but opposition from the Dis

Simpson, or some good Republican, would call the Republicans of this county to- gether as is done in other counties, and get out a ticket, the colored man of Nevada county would know better what to do, and how to do. We have no ticket. We have no office seekers among us-and if the white Republicans would come to the front and show their hands. then if the negro Republicans did not come and cling to the ticket, then write of the matter.

BUT DOG GONE CLAYTON
 WHO'S AFRAID?

The statesman and patriot Norwood, go, nothing = I,atcsvlle Guard.
 1 Not even a smell-except possibly of an original package" :" Dog gone Clayton! What has he against our Governor CD anyhow? As soon as the telegraph announced Harri- sons election, the Governor CD be- 1 gan, with all exhibition of ''gall'' 1 that was shocking to veteran Repub- licans, to file claims on the several 1 positions in the United States Indian Service which had been held at diff ferent times by q citizen of Nevada county under President Cleveland. He first made a dash at the position of General Agent. But a Federal Brigadier from West Virginia was promptly appointed to that office. Quickly pulling himself together af- ter that slip up," the Governor { , dropped notch and made bold at tack on the position of Agent for the Comanches, kiowas and Apaches. That 'persimmon, however, was soon knocked down by a thorough bred from Baltimore. Scarcely talk ing time to recover his breath, the Governor (? , then elevated his tights again and grabbed frantically at the office of Inspector. But that prize was awarded to an Iowa cornburner Consequently most of our several citizens who were to go with the Governor , and be his chief herder at the Comanche Agency, are now riding the range in Nevada county, roundino-up votes for the Demo- cratic ticket at the next election : are industriously sowing the seeds of Democratic truths among the l.. l.. brethren far and near; those who were to be his chief clerk are check Ing off the long procession of Demo- crats, who. like themselves, are re- turning from the camps of the mon- grels to the house of their fathers; and the large number of other per sons who were to have various posi- tions at his Agency, are now doing general missionary work for Democ- racy with gratifying results.
 And now for Clayton, on top of all this-doggone him-to ruthlessly thrust our Governor CD Saw-Bones aside; to show by his actions that he does not care anything about the Governor CD vindication that he knows he was not elected two years ago, and does not believe he could he this year; to command him, Get thee behind me -. am fishing for control of the Governors office now l have tried you once without success, and l propose to bait my hook with more piou3 grub worm" this time, It's too bad
 But even if Clayton will not allow our Governor ( } Federal appoint ment, nor any place on the State ticket, the field is still open for Con- gress against McRae, or for state Senator against l!amby.
 So dog-gonc Clayton. Who's afraid:

To Hickman County, Tennessee, (Whose hills are ever dear to me. Home, where my childhood passed away,) My thoughts in mcm'ry often stray, And finger long, with tender look, By every garden, field and brook Oh hills of Hickman from my heart, Its love for you can never part Once more, beneath your chestnut trees, (Whose nuts, out shaken by the breeze, Come falling swiftly 10 the ground, With pattcring and gentle sound,) stand in thought, and dream my name Shall surely fill the trump of fame, As did dream in my young years, Without sense of doubts ar fears. On Iiickman's hills by fancys light, climb again each craggy night And wander down their slopes and dalcs, And through the meadows in the wales, With friends whose hearts have long been col, In death, and turned to Scnseless mold; But whose pure souls shall live forever, Along the shores of some bright river, With waves that darkcn never never,
 " think of her, with auburn hair And deep blue eyes, and face so fair, And lips .o sweet whom ! loved there Among those hills, in that glad time, When youth was in its glowing prime Though many years have passed away, Since first felt that passion's sway. The hills of Hickman yes, they rise, In blue outline along the skies, Before my ycarning dreaming eyes, Just as saw them long ago, When life, with hope, was all aglow see again the wales between, Rejoicing in the sunny sheen My listening ear, though far away From that sweet spot of childhoods day, In fancy hears the lcaping rills, That sparkle down those well loved hills, While tongues that have been silent long, Their echoes wake again with song; And in my constant soul shall stay, That vision of those hills, alway. Now, in the sunset of my life, While looking back through year, of strife Where good and evil meet and blend From my full heart, gladly send My farewell greeting. unto Thee, Oh Hickman County, Tennessee.

Dedication of a Church,

The new Reformed Church, st. Beniamin's
or Krider's, was dedicated on Sunday morning
last, in the presence of Il large congregation.
Hundreds Of persons failed to gain access to
the auditorium, and stood without during the
long service.
The Krider Church is historic spot to the
Reformed and Lutheran Churches of this
county. A hundred and twenty six years ago
congregations Of these denominations were
Organized and erected small log structure,
in which they worshiped alternately until
1909, when it became too small TO accommo-
date the increasing membership, and larger
brick building was erected, in which theunio
continued until about a year ago. 1t then
became necessary to rebuild, and the people
who had held the church conformity deter
mined each to erect a place Of worship. Both
are completed, and it was the Reformed which
was dedicated.
Rev. Isaac NJ Motter, Of Waynesboro, Pa,
preached the dedicatory sermon, and Rev.
Calvin S. Slagle, the pastor, performed the
formal dedicatory services. Rev. John Il.
Moss, pastor of the Reformed Church of Silver
Run; Rev. N. j. Miller, pastor Of the Re
formed Church of Manchester; Rev. j. U.
Asper, pastor of the Krider Lutheran congre-
CATION, and Rev. DR.. j. T. Ward, President

Some Of our citizens will be in Westmin

correspondent in wishing them every pros
perity in the future.
We are far from being with your Sykesville
correspondent in thinking the most 'remark-
able part of Slack's Corner beneath the
earth's surface" No doubt there is where
he would like it to be when it comments on
his cratic writings. If he continues taking
tea at the club, he will more than likely reach
a much warmer place than just "beneath the
earth's surface" Stacks Corner is evidently
of more importance than he pretends, else he
would not cast slurs at her every chance he
has.

New Windsor co1lege--rnanksgiving Day.


It has been customary for some years past
for the President, Faculty and students to
dine with the Social Committee of the Pres
byteriah Chareh of New Windsor, in their
Lecture and Sunday school room. This year
it was deemed improper to hold such testlV-
ties in view of afflicted providences in the
congregation, and the absence of some of
the active members. This annual reunion
will be held later, as the occasion has always
been one of great pleasure, both to the COM
munity and the college. The day was cele-
brated, however, in a becoming manner at
the college. A most bountiful Thanksgiving
dinner was served in the dining hall, to over
sixty persons, who remained at the college
on Thanksgiving Day. The menu was the
most elaborate ever served in the college, in
Guiding the conventional turkies, oysters,
eranberrjes, celery, chicken salad, ice cream,
conlectioneries and coffee. The old familiar
bell announced ''al ready at o'olock, and
the company rose at five minutes after four
but not until Prof Z. H. Norman, the presid-
ing officer of the day, called out the happiest
post prandials from Rev. DIR. VIM. NJ. Arnolt,
of Johns Hopkins University, who is Pro-
fessor of Languages here this year, who be-
gan without announcing any subject, but
entertained and amused the happy company
