Chancellor nstes.

We print this morning formal
acceptance by Chancellor b. NJ. Es-
ties, of the calls made upon him by
members of the bar at Chattanooga,
Nashville and Memphis to stand as a
candidate for the vacant Judgeship
on the Supreme Bench. 1t is a fact,
most complimentary to the distin-
guished gentleman, that he should
be named for the high honor by SO
many of the Democratic practitiOn-
ers before the court, representing in
large measure the bars of the most
important cities of the State. That
he would fill the position superbly
goes without the saying. In learn
ing, in judicial faculty, in close appli-
cation to duty, he has shown himself
an ideal Judge. To praise him is,
a matter of supererogation. His
opinions as Chancellor have, in
many instances, displayed an extra
ordinary command of the widest
condition and the most intimate
knowledge of the determinations of
contemporary courts. He would go
to the Supreme Bench magniflcently
accoutered, and would there win, we
are sure, a reputation only greater
than that which he now enjoys, be-
cause the sphere of his employment
would be wider.-Menlrhis Appeal,

Change at the Arlington.

Drake Burton was superseded as
manager OF the Arlington this morn
ing by Percy Jackson, who has been
clerk in the hotel for six months
past. Lee Quinn, who has held the
position of night clerk for some time,
severed his connection with the
house when the change was made.
Drake Burton and wife will leave in
a few days for Terre Haute, Ind.
This change is the result of the
visit of Mr.. Heinly, one of the pro-
prietors of the Arlington, who was
in the city yesterday and found mat
tiers at the hotel in an unsatisfactory
condition.

Greenwood Avenue Will be widened on
Certain Conditions.

A meeting of the property owners
on Greenwood avenue was held at
the store of S. b. Nichols last night ;
r. +. McCullOch, chairman, when
the subject of widening the avenue
was freely and fully discussed. There
was a large attendance OF property
owners, and the sentiment of the
meeting was that the street should
be widened at once, it being under
stood that all parties present were
willing to have their fences and curb
ing set back upon certain conditions.
Two committees were appointed,
the first consisting of Esq. S. A.
Caldwell. DIR. T. H. Marable and
M. G. Pitman, to confer with the
Land Improvement and street car
companies about certain important
changes in the street in case the
fences are moved, and the second
consisting of G. w. Buck, S. b,
Nichols, j. S. Neblett and r. E. Nc
Culloch, whose duty it is to take the
measurements along the street, and
notify each property owner how
many feet of ground he will be ex
pected to give. These two commit
tees are to report back to a meeting
to be held at the same place at
O'Clock next Tuesday night.

No Schedule for Stock.

The census enumerators for the
city have not been supplied with
schedules for stock reports, and we
suppose this is the case in all towns
and cities of the State, which leaves
out of the general report a great
many of the most valuable horses
and cattle in the State. This
amounts to considerable sum in
the valuation of the property of the
State.
This is not all the schedules for
the country districts are incomplete.
n. l.. Whitfield, enumeratOr for the
9th district, says the stock, fowls,
etc, owned by renters and share
troopers, and all owners of acres or
less are left out entirely.

Deserted His Wife.

We find the following in the Jack
sonville, (Fla.) Times Union of the
10Th inst:
PENSACOLA, FLA, June a.
Frank Phillips, who was editor and
proprietor of the Pensacola Advance
Gazette, mysteriously left his home
in this city last Sunday ON the
steamer Dunholm for Limon, Costa
Rico, He leaves an invalid wife
and several small children utterly
destitute.
Frank Phillips went from this city
to Pensacola several years ago. His
family have many friends and some
distant relatives in this section; his
wife is most estimable woman and
the above is published with the hope
that it will reach the eye of some
who will extend her the helping
hand she 80 much needs.

Judge Estes for the Supreme Judgship.

The LEAF-CERoNICLE presents the
card of Judge Estes of memphis an
nouncing his candidacy for the SUI
preme judgship and also an extract
from the Memphis Appeal in refer
ence to the same matter. Judge Es-
ties states his reasons for not making
a personal campaign and they are
sufficient. His modesty in this re-
spect is very commendable in can
didate for this Office. The matter OF
presenting his claims is better left in
the hands of his friends. In fact the
reputation of the man should, as in
the case of Judge Estes, proceed him.
No man is better known throughout
the State as an able, impartial jur-
list qualified in the highest degree for
the position, and if chosen he will
undoubtedly reflect credit on the
bench, and honor upon the State.

The Cause OF Poor Health

Is often found in the neglect of one's
own self. A light cold or slight head
ache is treated as not requiring much
attention; the assumption being that
they will soon pass off, and it is only
when a case of full-aedged sickness de-
velops Itself that the consequences of
that neglect are fully realized. As a
preventive and positive cure for Conghs,
Colds, Hoarseness, Splitting of blood
Asthma, Pains in the Chest and first
stages of consumption, use Eilert's Ex-
tract OF Tar and Wild Cherry, and for
sick Headache, Torpid Liver, Dys-
pepsia, Nervousness and all Bilious
Complaints, use Eilert's Daylight Liver
Pills. Both are guaranteed.

Widening Greenwood.

The move to widen Greenwood
avenue is an important one and
should be thoroughly done. This is
one of the most frequented drives
about the city now, indeed present
travel is nearly equal to its capacity.
The street, the LEAF-C CHRONICLE I'M
derstands, was originally metalled
by the subscriptions of the property
owners along the line. The senti-
ment now is almost unanimous in
favor of widening it to a forty
five-fOot street, and the proper
ty owners, with only one or two
exceptions, will donate the ground
to make the street that width pro-
vided they are assured it will be
metalled from side to side and put in
through condition.
If this is done it will be but a
short while until that street will
have street cars, water and gas mains
and other advantages that are en-
joyed by more favored streets down
| town.

An Unsuccessful Attempt to Break Jail

1t is the custom of Sheriff Station
to let the prisoners at the county Jail
out of their cells into the corridors
once week for the purpose OF
securing out the cells. This was
done on Thursday; yesterday the
officers discovered a well planned
scheme to make a break for liberty
doubtless the next time they were
given access to the halls. Four bed
blankets had been torn in full length
strips and securely plated into a
round rope fully thirty feet long and
strong enough to bear the weight OF
several men. This and an old file
were found secreted about the cells,
and it is evident their purpose was
to force the bars and let themselves
down from the windows OF the halls
the next time they had an opportu-
nifty.
