Governor Buchanan's message to

esting points:
STATE OF TENNESSEE, EXECUTIVE De-
PARTME ENT, Aug, 81, Io9I.-rotChe Forty
5eVenthl General Asse mbly y.-Gentle-
men: Having concluded, after careful
deliberation, that it was essential To the
general welfare of the State to convene
your honorable body in extraordinary
session, have called you together Tor
The purpose of cOnSid ring the meas
ures, heretofore set forth by proclama-
tion, which gives extraordinary occa-
sion fer your ro-assembling.
Numerous requests were made for va
rious measures. chiefly local ones, TO be
included among the subjects for deliD-
eration; but the time OF The session was
TOO limited and matters OF. general i'm
port were too pressing to admit Of this.
Therefore limited tie subjects to those
upon which 1 deemed it necessary to
take i'm nInediate action. ta 5@ 81.

spectiullye cali your attention yt0 the

JUDICIAL CIRCUITs, CHANcERY Df-

Much confusion and dissatisfaction
have arisen from the changes made in
judicial circuits aud chancery divisions,
and from the consequent conflicts IN

The protracted meeting at this place,
conducted by Elder William Anderson,
did much good toward building up the
church and the conversion of eleven
souls. Every one seems anxious for
Brother Anderson to come again.
There is a meeting in progress at the
G, p. Church-Smyrna. Brethren Stew

manifested by the members. ,
There seems to be general string up

member OF a church, mean the right
kind of a member, our elections would
be- quiet and orderly and every candi-
date would stand on his merits and not
OIL his social or financial standing.
1 have been requested to say some
thing about the "Big Six Band" This
band is composed OF the following gem
tlemen: J. D., Ross and Wilburn Der
ryberry, q. w. and j. IL. Kinnard and
w. w. Loftin. They make music on
the violin, guitar and harp. They can
make lots of good music-perfOrm re-
markably well for their practice. We
hear of their nocturnal visits to certain
places, and the way they pour out their
souls and love in music would make
the muses. smile and weep alternately
smile over the music and weep when
they quit to eat cake and ice cream.
And they tell me that jeff knows how
to "play on" the guitar and melt ice
cream. II he does love his girl and
cold cream he has a heart as warm as

QaaliAestisns.

Yesterday Corporation Counsel Jacobs
sent an opinion to City Clerk Miller In re-
ply to the inquiry Of the IRE commission
ers - to the operation Of the charter upon
the qualifications Of the old firemen. The
judge says practically, that the qualifca-
tons required apply only to men appointed
after the charter went into effect, and that
men in the department employed before
that time are not ineligible through failure
to come up to new requirements. It Is as
follows:
You return the Harry Hale papers to me with
request Tor m opinion - to whether the pro-
visions of the charter referred to by me in my
prior communication applied 70 the men who
were hremen at the time of the adoption Of the
commission.
II II familiar rule Of legal construction that
the provisions Of charter or . statute are
prospective, and not retroactive. The legie-
lative body anay give these provisions . retro

perious complications before charter or
find nothing in the freeholdcrs' charter re-
quiring . retroactive application Of its provi-
eions. In fact, all Of the implications Of sub
division OF section Of article are against It.
Hence am Of the opinion that IL . man was ap-
pointed fireman in the fire department before
the adoption OF the freeholdefs charter and has
continued right along as . member of that de-
partment under that appointment, that the pro-
visions OF the charter as to citizenship do not
apply to him. nv formtr opinion was based on

Merited Commentator.

While Seattle has been first and fore
most in erecting fine business buildings,
some of the business houses have not neg
lected the grand opportunity to build
some fine interiors, one of the most nota-
BILE of these being the Chicago drug store
of G. o. Guy, in the Squire-Latimcr block
on Commercial street. 1t can be truth
fully stated that there is not drug store
in America with finer interior, and New
York city boasts of none finer. Mr.. Guy
has taken advantage of the splendid pro-
portions of his room to arrange an interior
that is rich in solid oak fixtures of the
most chaste and beautiful design, the walls
are lined with beveled plate glass mirrors,
are frightened by elaborate cut and
clipped glass panels. A mere description
cannot do justice 10 the beauties OF this
interior, and the entire store il credit TO

M00e6t Tribute 0f Redmond Farmer

W. r. Perrigo, an occasional and valued
correspondent ct Redmond, is worth read
ing. The reader will arrive at his own
conclusion:
To THE EDITOR: Ny friend, Mr.. Joseph Cisero,
mentioned that he read an article in the paper
last week about . rutabsga turnip that weighed
twenty I'VE and . half pounds
Now. Mr. Editor, know that you would not
wilfully wrong any locality, aud ! think some
real estate shark must have got il in on you for
the purpose Of belittling the valley in which the
little turnip was supposed 70 have been raised.
wish 10 say right now that IL was no one in this
town, Is we ali believe we have valley that
needs no booming.
As Mr.. Cisero Is Q modest man and docs not
wish to boom, he gave away all his large tur-
nips to the new settlers who moved in too late ia
plant last spring. However. he gave me one OF
the largest Of the small ones he had saved to
feed his cows. It weighs thirty three pounds.
] send Il to you with the request that In the fl-
ture you will not mention any turnips Weighing
less than fifty pounds.
The letter is accompanied by a rutagaga
weighing thirty-five pounds, which is ex-
citing the admiration OF the many stran-
gers who visit the PosT-INTELLIeENcKs

Railroad Omoials Inspect the Great
Northern work.
Ballard was visited yesterday by the
officials of the Great Northern railroad,
who were along the line for the purpose Of
inspecting the work completed and under
way. Very few Of the citizens knew Of the
visit paid their city, yet every point Of
Clough and party.
The gentlemen not only looked over the
road at Ballard, but also inspected that
portion to the north Of the city. The loca-
ton of the depot. and car shops were dis
cussed among themselves, but not one
word was given out as to the choice Of the
members of the party. When asked
chosen as the site for the station or
whether some other place had been de-
cided upon, broad smile was the answer,
but assurance was given that the best site
would be the one agreed upon.
Rumor had it that the location Of the
car shops would be one Of the principal
features of the visit, but this was also .
subject upon which the strictest silence
was maintained. Nothing was said as to
what course the company would pursue in
event of . suit being instituted by the Sc
attle, Lake Shore 4 Eastern road for re-
moving q portion Of their embankment
along Shilshole avenue 49,.
The question was considered ~ being
too indefinite to ansWeras nothing was ex-
pected to result since the city council had
granted the franchise for the grading and
tracking of the entire avenue.
The bridge over the neck of Salmon bay
was one Of the particular points Of inspcc-
ton and the work was pronounced satisfac-
tory and in keeping with the general i'm
provements Of the road.
So far over two-thirde Of the trestle has
been "tied" and 10 ready for the rails. The
embankment which approaches the bridge
along Shilshole avenue has been gradually
extended and is now within 600 yards OF
the woodwork. The grade has been COM
pleted on the south side.
