concealed played on every countenance
The market was well filed with vege-

very high, especially those for turkeys,
which sold from iS TO % cents per pound
Many of the housewives had determined

NcceF 1HOUOHt Hint genuine.

A Jackson, Tenn, special of last
Sunday to the Nashville American
says that the exposure of j. H.
McDowell's political record in Ar
kansas by the American has been
the theme of conversation, politi-
cally speaking, for the past few
days. The general verdict is that
the exposure is clincher on the
doughty champion Of the sub
treasury bill. Captain w. F. Nc
Knight, President of the Madison
County Alliance, a staunch Ali
ance man and a "rock-ribbed"
Democrat, says: i have heard a
number of farmers express them
selves on the exposure, and all
seem to agree. They will suspend
their opinion, however, until he
has had reasonable time to reply
to the charges, as he requests; and
unless he does refute them | am
confident the Alliance will drop
him, and his successor will be w.

Tennessee Crops.

H. G. Bate of the United States
signal corps at Nashville says that
reports from various parts of the
State show that in some counties
there was an excess of rain early
in the week, but in general the
rainfall was about on an average.
The conditions were exceedingly
favorable for growing crops and
also for wheat harvest, which pro-
gressed well during last week. In
some places wheat has been injur-
ed by too much rain. Thrashing
has begun in some places, and the
yield is reported good.
Corn, cotton, and tobacco are
growing well, and the condition of
these crops is about as good as
could be desired at this season.
Cotton has improved wonderful
ly in the last two or three weeks,
and the crop is now growing off
well. The weather has been very
favorable for saving hay. White
potatoes are turning out better
than was expected some time ago.
Fruit has been injured some by too
much rain, which caused falling off.

however, says the Daily American,
and the parties will doubtless hold

The Republicans are likely to NOM

father, while the Democrats will in
all probability stake their chances
on Williams.
The Governor has given outnoth-

Twenty Minutes of AdOny.

Shortly before noon last Friday
at the large quaries at Piney Creek,
near Altoona, Pa, Robert Calbert
and a gang of men prepared two
blasts and fired them. One, how
ever, failed to explode. Calbert
took l6-foot bar and prepared to
drill it out. He placed the end of
the bar in the hole and let it
drop when an explosion occurred.
Twelve feet of the bar was driven
through his body and it is said
his screams were heard for half a
mile. The remainder of the bar
was pulled through the wound and
after twenty minutes Of terrible
agony Calbert died.

E. Il. Bell sends a report to Col
lector d. A. Num-, says the Nash
vile Herald, to the effect that on
the oath instant, assisted by Unit
ed States Marshal J. S. Ridley, he
raided the illicit distillery of Pink
Brewer, in Carroll County, near
the Henderson County line, 'cap-
turing a copper still of 60 gallons
capacity, 100 gallons of singlings,
1000 gallons of beer, 29 tubs, 113
barrels of meal, some malt, etc.
He reports they found Brewer get
ting ready to make run.
Brewer was tried before United
States Commissioner Thorne, and
bound over in the sum of 81 900 to
the United States Court at Jack
son. Mr.. Bell says that Brewer is
the oldest wildcat distiller in West
Tennessee, and has the reputation
of making the best whisky in that
part of the State. He also says
Brewer is one of the old timers,
and has served several terms in
the Memphis Jail for illicit distill-
ing. The distillery captured has
been in operation where we, found
it for five or six years, and was the
finest still l ever saw, and in the
best place for an illicit still, +.

Cruise jumped out of the buggy,
ran short distance and fell dead.
The body was left in the road un-

was formed and an inquest held.
Howard gave himself up to a con-

StiU Unsettled.

Mr.. Moss, of the Paducah, Ten

wrote a letter to our people this
week, saysthe Carroll County Dem
ocrat, intimating that if the town
would vote $4,000 in bonds, give
the right Of way, and also $4,000
in cash, the road might be run by
here. This, ofcourse, is outof reach
of our people, and howevermuch we
would like to have the road, these
figures can not be considered. Our
people are willing to do everything
they are able. If this gets the
road the town is in luck, otherwise
we will have to give it up, A cit
liens meeting was held last night
to determine what was the very
best the town could do, the result
of which will be made known to
Mr.. Moss, who will then, perhaps,
determine the matter. We go to
press too early to report the result
of the meeting.

Another Alliance Union of Glib
