Thos. Manning, who runs the fer
ry boat here, reports that ON Thurs
day evening he saw the body of a
white woman floating down the
Cumberland. The ferry boat was in
mid stream and the body came near
touching the boat. Mr. Manning
says he tried to catch it, but could
not do so and manage the boat. He
ran the ferry boat ashore as soon as
possible and walked several yards
up the river and secured a canoe and
went on a search for the body, but
could not find it. He describes the
clothing of the woman as being a
white bodice and black skirt and that
it seemed of good material. Hesays
there was scar on the side of the
head, which looked very much like
"a bullet hole, though it may have
been made by striking some obstruc-
tion in the river. The body no doubt
was another medical stiff and had
been thrown in the river, in all like
lihood, at Nashville.

Can Republican whselera swallow itP


How can Republican wheelers
endorse the speech of Mr.. Zach.
Taylor, temporary chairman of the
Republican convention, 1enouncing
them as members of Il secret, oath
bound Organization, whose object is
to lock up the food products and
unduly initiate the currency? These
Republican gentry whose business it
is to hold Office, manipulate conven-
tions, sustain trust combinations and
manufacturing monopoly, hold the
doctrine that the farmer has no rights
in politics except to vote, and that
his business is to furnish the food
products fresh from the farm at the
lowest rates that can be forced by a
contracted gold-base currency, and
when farmers organize in opposition
to these Republican capital combi-
nations to prOtecI themselves,
straightway they are denounced by
the gentry as a secret, oath-bound
organization, and force bills must be
passed to keep the truly loyal in
office, lest these food producers
should gain their freedom through
political ascendency, initiate the cur
rency and put a stop to colossal
fortune making at the expense Of
the food producers. Can Republican
wheelers vote the Baxter ticket?

GAINESVILLE, Tenn: Gentlemen
| have the pleasure to submit my au-
nual financial report and the general
condition of the public schools. A
critical review of the examination
papers cannot fail to indicate that
good and thorough work has been
done during the past scholastic year,
and that the pupils acquitted them
selves cerditable the result is surely
convincing when it is a known fact,
that almost one-half of the pupils in
the Howell School obtained the high
principle average OF So per cent. o.
course there are some who failed to
have even crediable standing, some
children have natural talent to ac-
quire knowledge who are diligent,
obedient aud ambitious and fire.
quently pass two grades in one year,
while others are lacking these natural
gifts and good qualities, and with all
the efforts, patience and perseverance
exercised by their instructors ii is
hard work to advance them in their
studies but happily to say, this lat
ter class is Numerically insignificant.
1t would be we'll for parents to CO.
operate with the teachers and instill
into the youthful mind and heart TO
be obedient, diligent and to have cor
rect department, which would greatly
facilitate the discipline In the school
room. The discipline is better than
in any previous year; teachers and
pupils are working tremendously,
which alone is a guarantee of ultimate
success.
At the commencement exercises in
the contest for the highest hOnors in
recitation and defamation it was
shown that successful instructions
had been impaired. There were
quite a number of winners of medals
in the important contest of spelling.
All this shows that jealous and con-
scientiOus work has been done under
the skiIlful guidance of our worthy
superintendent, j. w. Graham, who
filed this position for the past five
years with marked ability. His
earnest and indefatigable efforts have
brought our public schools to that
high standard, which will in every
respect compare favorably with any
institution in the South. The color
ed public school managed by G. M.
Watson, principal, and an efficient
corps of teachers, is in a very salts
factory condition; many of the pupils
have attained great proficiency.
We had 1890 pupils enrolled,

tic year ending June 6, 1890, were

A New Ordinance Needed.

A case came up before Recorder
Bailey this morning in which he was
powerless to punish the parties con-
eerned, there being no ordinance in
the city digest covering the case. The
ofense is that of man taking no
torious prostitute in buggy and
driving around town. There is no
law against it, consequently the pc.
lice and recorder are poweeless.
