l. Now in those days it came to
pass that q certain man did own and
run a turnpike from the corporate
limits Of Columbia to the western
borders of the county of Maury.
2. And it came to pass that the SUI
preme Court of Tennessee did say
| that the same road was unlawful,
and that tho owner of the same had
no road bed or bridges and that his
! toll gates were distractions to the
public rosd, being situated in the
| wrong place, and there being one tt
many, and that he had not any turn
pike; and it WAS taken away from
| him, even that which he seemeth 10
| possess. -,
8. So the judges and rulers OF the
| County Court of Maury County dld
seize and appoint unto themselves
! three commissioners
/. The one the judge thereof, tue
other the ex-judge, and yet the other,
he who keepeth q hotel and livery
stable at Mt. Pleasant.
). Now it came to pass that a GER
| tain deputy sheriff who doth run all
the elections aud carries the county
for any man he may pick out, was
appointed head overseer Of the county
cOnvicts to b"st rock near the 2 r
| pOr2te limits OF COlumDla upon tue
said turnpike road.
g. And all the people were taxed.
Taxed at the toll gates, taxed on their
houses, taxed on their household and
kitchen furniture, taxed on their
silver spoons and jewelry, their ear
rings al d breast pins and horses and
ca tie, to pay the two judges and the
hotel Keeper and the sheriff for the
privilege of travelling their own road.
7. And they wot not that the pe"-
pie did groan under the burden OF
! taxation and did want and ask free
road!
S. And they wot not that even the
dirt roads needed work and that in
consequence of the many gully wash
ers these roads were impossible
and that when man went to town
or tried to get his potatoes to the
railroad station that, 10 and behold he
walketh and toteth fence rail
wherewith to prize out OF mud
| holes!
8. So the whole people pray for 8
free turnpike and 20 be released from
paving toll over their own road, anC
! that some of the work of the County
Court be put on the dirt roads Of the
county. Selah!
10. And all the people shouted anC
said, Amen. Give us free road!

UndiSputed Merit.

The great success oil the Royal Bak-
ing Powder is due to the extreme care
exercised by its manufacturers to make
it entirely pure, uniform quality and
of the highest leavening power. All the
scientific knowledge, care and skin at
tanned by a twenty years practical eXpe-
rience are contributed toward this emo,
and no pharmaceutical preparation can
be dispensed with a greater accuracy,
precision and eXactnoss. Every article
used is absolutely bure. y number OF
chemists are employed to test the
strength of each ingredient, so that its
exact power and effect in combination
with its GO ingredient is definitely
known. Nothing is trusted to chance,
and no person is employed inthe pTepar-
alton of the materials used or the man
ufacture of the powder who is not an
expert in his particular branch OF the
business. AS a consequence, the Royal
Baking Powder is of the highest grace
of excellence, always pure, wholesome
and uniform in quality. Each box is
exactly like every other, and VIII retain
its powers and produce the same and
the highest leavening off in any climate
at any time. The Government Chemists
after having analysed all the principal
brands in the market, in their reports
placed the Royal Baking Powder at the
head of the list for strer. 9Th, purity, ana
wholesomeness, and thousands OF other
tests al! the over the county have

Come. You won't have to turn this
over i'll your mind more than min

We find that we still have twenty
five imported French Challie patterns
and about half as many China Silks.
Now these goods are the most desira-
bic to be found anywhere, and it
seems a pity to sacrifice them; but
we want to get rid Of as much OF our

IGNORED. G. J. Hsmlin says that II is
such ridiculous one that there Is no
need of making the fact known that the
| Buffalo Association will overlook the
rule at the coming meeting. Its said
the rule originated in the brain of the
man who caused the expulsion OF
Temple Bar, the owner of whom Will
bring suit for damages. Buffalo En-
quiror.
The rule should be disregaTded. It
is verging on to Stiffness. No driver
can tell when hc is going TO lay up a
heat. Often he goes out on the track
to lay up heat but finds his horse
going and feeling good and he let's
him go. Then again he goes out to
take the heat, but finds his horse a
little off and so he lays up. AS we
understand the oil rules, this is per-
mitted in five heat race. q. But the
horse should be the judge of when he
feels like resting.

The Race Course uIG tie Jersey
Emil.

We learn That at the Birmingham
meeting in the fall they propose to
eclipe everything ever attempted on
outside attractions by having regu-
lar old fashioned bull fight.
II is Il sad commentary on the pop
uIarity of the Iight-harness race
course, when such methods must be
resorted 10 10 attract u crowd. As a
matter OF fact, the Southern people
do not care rs much for sulky-races
as hey do beyond the Ohio river and
iu New England; but the only way
20 ever ret them 10 attend them
more is to give them pure, straight
and genuine races, not these absurd
combinations or bull-tights and
chicken fights, tfOtting jacks and
flying women.
But if The bull-fight is to go with
the race course we can see one great
advantage in it-fOr "tis an i'll wind
that blows no good" II will UNI

the most god-fOrsaken creature that

! Now, It's well known fact, that
although the Jersey COW is the queen
of tire dairy, the CORY of the bovine
race and the especial harbinger Of
everything good from form and dis
position to gilt-edge butter, yet we are

The Canadians are very partial to
Five Points and saw he is the most
reliable trotter ever in the British
Provinces, says the Tennessee Farmer
and it also adds, 'and when he comes
out of Canada and enters our North

line like a meteor, and if no accident
befalls HIM VIII, n he reaches Cumber-
land Parks great regulation track he
will lie crowned king of Tennessee

He may but we don't think so. He
has, however, surprised us greatly
never expected to see him get s
record of 2:234.

Charge the Arsenal Celebration.

Adopted by the Committees Having in
Charge the Arsenal Celebration.
At a meeting yesterday of the Sc V
eraI committees having in charge
the recent Arsenal celebration, the
following resolutions were unahi-
mOusly passed:
lest thanks to the Louisville & Nashville
Railroad ofIicials-especially to the
President, NJ. II. Smith; to the Third
Vice President, Hon. w. j. Wood; and
TO the Superintendent, James Geddes--
for the valuable aid they gave us III
granting us free transportation for the
military companies and their equip
ments, for Eichborn's band of Louis
Vile, Tor the invitation committees
that were sent to Chicago and Wash
iurton, and many other favOrs eX-
tended us. But for these favors the
most important features of the cele-
bration must have been omitted, and
for the friendly feeling for Columbia
evidenced by these favors we are
doubly grateful.
Res6LCGd, That we owe a special debt
of gratitude to the Nashville American
and its accomplished stall cores
pondent, Mr.. Walter Palmer Tor the
elaborate and complimentary reports
of the celebration which they sent out
to the world through their own paper
and the press associations they rep
resent.
Resolved, That we feel deep sense
of obligation to our honOred represent
alive in Congress, Hon. n. N. Cox, and
to Gen. A. B. Upshaw, our formcr
townsman, for their jealous efforts
to secure distinguished speakers
for the occasion, and for the valu-
able aid which they rendered our rep
resentative, Mr.. F. d. Lander, who went
to Washington for the same purpose.
And we further desire to thank Col.
Cox for his liberal and unsolicited dOna-
ton of $50 to our expense fund, and to
the following individuals and firms for
their generous assistance, tO-wit:
