LUCKEY,

Luckey, Sept. 23.-The weather
continues to be clear and warm, being
very fine on farmers who are trying
to save large amount of fodder.
The school at this place has been
stopped for the past three weeks,
during which time the good people
around Bald Knob have enlarged
our house, SO that we may progress
more rapidly with our work. This
proves that they are interested in ed
ucation of their children.
Prof. E. w. Mitchell, of Oak

Loves Darkness Better Than Light.

The Sparta EXpositor just now is
doing some good work turning the
light on to the Alliance. and its
methods. 1t is amusing to watch
Mcdowell and the lesser lights of the
Alliance dodge joint discussions. The
following from the Expositor of this
week, is lick straight from the
shoulder:
We learn that numbers of Alliance
men object to the idea of joint dis
cussion at their rally here on the Sd
of October, and think that Snodgrass
and Jarvis ought to stand aside and
let Mcdowell and Tucker have the
day to themselves. That is, let Nc
Dowell and Tucker come here and
advocate the heresies of the Alliance
and criticise and denounce the Dem
ocratic party and its leaders, while
Democrats sit still and open not their
mouths. That would be a very nice
arrangement for this new political
party that proposes to dominate the
Democratic party, but Democrats
can't see it in that light. What is
the matter with the Alliance doc
trine, anyhow, that it won't bear in
vestigation and discussion before the
whole people? The leaders and or
gans of the Alliance say that it is
political, then why not be willing to a
free and open discussion of your prin-
ciples if they are as good as you say
they are and the only redemption OF
the country? This is new idea in
politics-that one party has set OF
principles that won't bear discussion
before the people, but wants a one
sided discussion by its leaders and
after the speaking invite the brethren
to go into secret session and bar the
doors. How do old-time, tried and
true Democrats like the idea of such
a party with such a set of principles
proposing to dominate and control
their party?

uneasy when the water is about to

two weeks for fodder gathering,
will start up Monday morning next.
Mrs. Emma Womack has a book
misplaced, entitled "Nights in the
Bible" which she is very DESTROYS
of finding, as it was a present from
her father. Any one having or
knowing anything about the book
will please let it be known.
We have had some very warm
days of late, the sun seems to be more
burning than at any other time dur
ing the summer.
The people at Olive, new church
on the Smithville and McMinnville
road, five miles this side of Smith
vile, are expecting to have protract-
ed services, commencing Saturday
night, Sept. 26th, to be conducted by
Elder Pharis, from near Gainsboro.
Some of our farmers are sowing
winter oats, which is no doubt a
good idea, as they furnish a good
pasture through the winter if the
weather is open and mild, and also a
good crop can be taken from the
land if not pastured too late in the
spring.

ONE j. II. BITTICK, an Alliance
patriot, and Superintendent of the
capitol at Nashville, has sprung into
extensive notoriety during the last
week. 1t has developed that Bit
tick, through his son and the por-
tiers of the capitol, has been charging
visitors 20 cents each for the privi-
lege of viewing the City of Rocks
from the dome of that stately and
imposing building. Some member
introduced a resolution in the House
during the extra session to put stop
to this practice. The House man.
aged in some way to dodge the reso-
luton. without acting upon it, but
Mr.. Bittrick has not been as success
full in lodging an avalanche of criti-
cism from the Nashville press.
While Mr.. Bittick has worked the
fee system for all it is worth, through
his young hopeful and the porters,
he did not originate the scheme of
charging for admission to the dome
of the capital. Some ten or more
years ago we made a visit to the top
Of the building when it was in charge
of an old soldier, we do not remem-
Der his name, and while a specific
charge was not made for the privi-
lege, yet this old soldier managed to
let us understand that a quarter
would be acceptable, and we paid it.
A tip system is equally as perni-
cious, if not more so, than regular
charge. Either is bad enough, and
the House displayed characteristic
puerility in failing to pass the reso.
luton of censure upon Mr.. Bittick.
The action simply amounts to giving
him license to continue a little con-
temptible practice which should have
been stopped.
