much of your valuable space to do
so. / found the field an inviting one
and much more hopeful than / ex

been almost entirely neglected by
the Baptists. Not a Baptist church
in the county, and | want to ask the
Baptists all over the country TO help

ISOLATION by building ii church at
Erin. / found a few faithful ones
from different States and all anxious
to have a church. / have the prom
Use of lot on which to build, and all
are willing to contribute literally for
the house, one brother promising
two hundred dollars rather than that
we should fail, and the brethren are
also hopeful of substantial help from
the members of the different denom-
nations in the town. am pleased
to state that two of its ministers gave
me a good deal of encouragement
and wished me success. Now, friends,
here is a whole county holding out
its hands TO you and asking aid to
build at least one Baptist church in
its bounds. Who will be the first to

money necessary to build the hous1 ?

To the Tobacco Leaf Chronicle.
In your evening paper of Septem-
Der % there were two paragraphs re
ferring to the ElmwOod cemetery Of
Memphis. Doubtless many of your
subscribers, after reading them, quo
ted the old saying: "People whc
live in glass houses should not throw
stones" Our Greenwood far ex
ceeds Elmwood in many points OF
beauty; but the latter does not need
protection more than the former.
There have been for some time many
complaints that flowers have not
only been pulled from bushes in the
various sections, but plants have been
entirely removed, while graves are
constantly decorated with evergreens,
etc, pulled in the cemetery ; and on
Sunday evenings when not only 'lot
owners are admitted" but all are al
lowed 10 enter, many come out with
evergreens and fiAwers. Now, there
are some people who do not seem to
know that to pluck rose from a
bush overhanging a grave is depre
dalton. There is long list of rules
hanging beside the gate. TO whom
belongs the duty of enforcing them ?
The lovely place where rest the re.
mains of our loved ones is sacred,
and surely it should be protected
from those who maliciously and
those who ignorantly desecrate it.

South Clarksville Mail.

The citizens over in South Clarks-

A gentleman said to a LEAF
CHRONICLE reporter this morning,
that he was several miles in the
country yesterday and read a paper
that had been carried out from this
office. He happened to be a sub
scriber to the same paper, and he
says his paper was delivered after he
had driven in from the country and
rested spell. There are other such
eases, and the citizens over there
want better service. The delay in
appointing a special carrier for this
territory is more than likely the
cause Of the trouble.

IMMIGRATION RESTRICTIONS.

WASHINGTON, June 3.-The plan pre-
pared by Assistant Secretary Nettletou
for restricting immigration into the
United States has been submitted to the
president and approved. and was today
embodied in a circular and sent to al
steamship companies bringing immigrants
to this country. The circular recites the
laws designed to regulate immigration,
and says that steamship companies, under
the pressure of sharp competition, gather
up in Europe and bring to the United
States all who eau pay the trifiing cost OF
passage, regardless of character or condi.
ton and regardless of our laws.
While the government proposes to en-
force the statutes in letter and spirit, il is
desired that as little discomfort and dis
tress as possible result to persons affected
by the immigration laws. 1t is impor-
tant, therefore, that persons of prohibited
classes be prevented from leaving their
homes and crossing the sea, only to be
sent beck on their arrival here 1t is
wrong that either the greed of some steam
ship companies. the mistaken kindness of
friends, or the wish of many foreign com
munities to be rid of burdens
properly theirs should be permitted to
result in this useless cruelty. So far as
possible the sitting process should be ap-
piled at the beginning, not at the end of
the Journey. Much of this wholesome pre-
ventive work can be effectively done by
the transportation companies. Notice is
given the steamship companies, partlcu-
larly those engaged in the immigrant bus
iuess, that the immigration laws of the
United States will be rigidly enforced.
Their cooperation is invited in carrying
out the system of foreign inquiry that
will facilitate the work Of the govern
meut officers

LEGlSLATIVE CIRCUS.

SRTNGFIELD, Ills, June 3.-An extraordi-
nary scene of wild confusion and excite
ment was witnessed in the lower house
of the general assembly today when the
worlds fair bill, which, as passed by the
senate, appropriated 81 900, 600 for the Hi
nois exhibit, was acted upon. Efforts tC
reduce the appropriation to $500, 600 OF
$500, 900 were successfully defeated. but on
a motion being made fixing the amount at
$3.50, 900 it was apparent that the vote
would be nearly a tie. Then Speaker
Crafts (Democrat) voted for the amend
ment and ignoring a Republican member
who wished to change mis- vote and vote in
the vote had been closed.
Then the house became a bedlam of
shrieking. blaspheming and hurrahing
men, while Crafts cooly declared that the
$3.50, 900 amendment had been adopted-76
yeas to 73 nays. In the face of terrific
storm of protests, the speaker would listen
only to motion to adjourn, and calmly
declared the motion carried. The mem
bers were now yelling and run
ming about like so many Com
anches. Half a dozen made a rush
for the speaker, to drag the 'czar,'
as they called him, from the chair. but
were forcibly held back by his seconds.
More than one legislator reached for re-
volver, and riot seemed inevitable Nc
Inerny, of Chicago, Democrat, at this
moment jumped to the speakers stand,
and shouting, I'VE will reconsider it to-
morrow" finally succeeded in bringing
about truce. 1t is expected that another
outbreak will take place tomorrow.

icy of the board was discussed, and it was
the unanimous opinion of the directors
that the earnings of the road should go to
to the stock holders. In view, therefore,
of the fact that there was deficit of about
one-half of per cent on the capital stock,
after paying the usual per cent dividend,
the board decided that the August divi.
dend should be one-half of per cent.
The report for the year ending March 81,
