The Columbia Daily Calendar.

An old friend in Il new dress, and
an article that has come to be one of
the indispensables of an editors desk,
comes to hand in the Columbia Daily
Calendar for 1892. The Calendar is
in the form of pad containing 1857
leaves, each 5Bx2s inches; one for
each day of the year, to be removed
daily, and one for the entire year.
Each slip bears a short paragraph
pertaining to cycling or some kindred
subject. AT the bottom of each leai
is a blank for memoranda. The
stand is an entirely new departure,
being made of sheet metal finished in
ivory black, and is very compact. Al
the close of the year the stand will be
available for another pad. This is
the seventh issue of this now we'll
known Calendar, yet all the matter
is fresh and new, and comprises not
able events in cycling, opinions O
physicians and clergymen, hint'
about road making, and numerous
other topics.

The New Coal and Iron Fields.

A correspondent Of the Tullahoma
Guardian, who recently made trip
through the new coal and iron fields
near Viola, writes that paper as fol-
lows:
"In company with some friends the
writer left Tullahoma on Wednesday
morning last for a visit 10 the coal
and iron fields lately discovered in
the Cumberland range, in Grundy
County. Late in the evening we
reached the cosy little village of Vio-
la and spent the night at the pleasant
home of Mr.. l. c. Garretson, who is
one of the land marks in that section.
Though advanced in years, he is full
of life and vigor and furnishes noble
example to the younger generation
by his business activity. After
breakfast we set out for the mountain
accompanied by several citizens of
the neighborhood, drove to the foot
of the mountain, tied up our horses,
and divesting ourselves of overcoats
began the ascent. After pulling from
cliff to cliff and falling over logs for
about two hours we reached the Level
of the coal and iron deposits, which
we found to be of fine quality and in
abundant quantity. Not satisfied
with our investigations, however, We
trudged on until we reached the tor
of the mountain, where we found
wood and water but no sign of habi
tation for man or beast. But in ou
wanderings we stumbled upon a cab
in occupied by a typical mountaineer
Uncle Jimmy Winton, pioneer il
that section and ninety-f6ur year
old, who gave us kindly reception
and a thanksgiving dinner. w

After taking in all we could Of tn
surroundings we were impresse,
with the idea that a wonderful futur
awaits this section of our state with il
rich beds of coal and iron, vast bodie
of valuable timber and fertile valley
below. 1t needs only capital an
labor to develop great wealth."

PINE BLUFF.

Pine Bluff, Dec. 2.-There was a
grand exhibition at Oakland school
house on Friday, Nov. q, at the
closing of the free school Of four
months term. There had never been
an exhibition at this place before.
The good behavior and the nice
performance of each student showed
that their teacher had discharged his
duty in training them.
The recitations, declarations and
orations were very nice. Wealso had
excellent music which seemed to
soothe the ears and elevate the minds
of the auditors.
After the exercises by the students
were all over a debate took place on
the subject, "Resolved, That the
State of Tennessee should have a
Compulsory Law of Education"
The speakers were: Affirmative, j.

The decision was given in favor OF
the affirmative. After which we had
a stirring speech by Mr.. Webb, on
the educational interest.

short but interesting speech. After
having music by the string band, the

as given by these journals. "La
Mode de Paris" and "Album dies

Holiday Presents by Mail.

The Superintendent of the Rail-
way Mail Service has. sent out the
following instructions upon how to
prepare and address packages sent by
mail:
The season is approaching when
the mails will be filled with holiday
presents, and great many are un-
necessarily lost, delayed or damaged
each year because of the Indifferent
manner in which they are prepared
for mailing.
Newspaper or other thin paper
should never be used for wrapping,
and packages as ordinarily wrapped
where purchased are not sufficiently
secure for forwarding in the mails.
Use strong paper; make solid
package that will not crush easily;
tie we'll with good Irvine; address
legibly and correctly with ink on the
lower right~hand corner and very
few packages will fail to reach desti-
nation in good condition.
1t is always advisable to place name
and address of the sender on the up
per left hand corner of allpackages,
etc., sent through the mails, so sthey
may be returned in case the addresses
cannot be found. Postal statistics
show that more delays result from in
correct addresses than from errors in
distribution by postal employees.
In case of loss or delay report the
same to your postmaster with all O
the information that can be given.

of the arrival of the new aerial hook and

To put the truck into immediate

to employ four additional men to man the

service. Also one pair of heavy
draught horses for drawing the truck.
Considerable discussion was entered into,
Alderman Armstrong opening it by putting
in decided objection to employing four
men at a salary of $50 per month, and
questioned the wisdom of purchasing the
truck at all. Alderman Montgomery IA
vored the adoption Of the report,

The mine seems to be of limitless capacity,
and is but little trouble to work.
There is plenty of water and wood in the
vicinity. The yield is the purest of wire
gold. As Needham expresses it, the strike
is like picking up yellow dollars. Freemed
is now in Chihuahua with specimens of the
metal. The city, which contains numer-
Gus miners and mining spectators, is
much excited. Mrs. Freemed has been

That New Orleans Test Case.


Special to the Gazette.
NEW ORLEANS, La, Sept. 29-Cal Nc
Carthy Of New Jersey, who engaged in a
glove contest with Tommy Warren of Cali
fornia before the Olympic club of this city
on last Wednesday, was tried before the
criminal district court to-day under an in
dictment recently found by the grand jury
charging him with engaging in prize fight.
The Indictment and trial were the result of
a strong movement which has been inaugu-
rated here against glove and prize fights.
Governor Nichols, Mayor Shakespeare and
a number of prominent citizens are opposed
to them, and the Delta has taken strong
position against them. A majority of the
grand jury are OF the same way of thinking,
and resolved to test the question whether
pugilists who engage in these fights could
not be punished under the law which pro-
hibits prize fights, but allows glove con-
tests before regularly chartered clubs.
The view taken by the governor, the dis
trict attorney and others is, that the So
called glove contests are prize fights, to all
intents and purposes, and therefore viola
tive of the law. AS the case was a test one,
and the possibility of future matches de-
pended upon the result, it was watched
with great interest. 1t was resolved to
separate the two persons, trying Mccarthy
to-day and Warren tomorrow. Over
twenty-five witnesses were heard, Of them
including number of prominent citizens
and experts on this subject, who unani-
mOusly declared that the contest between
Mccarthy and Warren was one of the most
scientific and interesting they had ever
seen, and not at all revolving or brutal.
The jury brought il verdict of not
guilty for Mccarthy without leaving their
seats.
1t is supposed that the district attorney
will not prosecute the case against Warren
tomorrow, but mol pros it, as it is evident
that he can get no verdict against him. The
result of the trial to-day will, it is thought,
kill the movement inaugurated against
pugilistic encounters.
