Two subjects seem 70 be interesting
One OF these Is the continuation OF the

the danger of q ret arm 10 the old state
banking system which troubled them so
much wears ago. No class of people
suffered so much from the losses and
business annoyances attendant upon the

The people OF the cities and towns, es-
peclally the business people, had means

but the farmers had not this opportu-
nifty.

that he viii never know whether he -

dread Of returning to the old state bank

In regard 10 tariff the farmers are
equally anxious as Is shown by informa-
ton received here. Not only have their

Some very interesting comparisons
have lately been officially put forth
showing Great Britain's increase Ia ma
val strength during the past six years.
The figures show that her claim TO the
title Of mistress Of the seas" is in no
immediate danger. but they also show
that one very burdensome source of ex-
pense each year which the admiralty is
called upon To bear consists in overhaul
ing, reitting and in many ways reJuve-
mating warships that but few years
ago were among the marine wonders Of
the world.
The United States have at least one
thing 10 serve as consolation for hav-
ing been so long without any navy
worthy of the name. The money we
now spend in building up navy nearly
all goes for new work; for construction
and not for reconstruction. - Chicago

Balkan Fentress, colored, died
yesterday at his residence near
town. He was patriarch and
prophet among the negroes, and
withal man of extraordinary
mind. He had attained to ninety
years of age, and had lived here
since 1882, whence he was brought
By his owners from Murfreesboro.
His recollection of Felix Grundy,
Gen. Jackson, Hugh L. White and
other leaders whom he had waited
on was remarkable. And his affec>
ton for the Fentress family, his
former owners, never faltered. In
his declining years he was tenderly
cared for by them, and had only a
few months since been enrolled as a
pensioner of the United States gov

Hickory Valley, was in the city
Monday. Mr.. Jones is the present
representative In the legislature
from Hardemah County. On ac-
count of his conservative views,
thorough knowledge of parliament
tary laws aud bis gentlemanly and
courteous department, he is held in
high esteem by his fellow members.
Quietly and modestly he exerted
an influence over his associates in
the House, and that influence was
always used for the public good.
The journal of the House records
every vote he cast, and a careful
perusal of same will show that he
voted always on the peoples side,
according to his ideas Of right and
justice. We understand that Mr..
Jones is a candidate for reelection.
Ii returned, his inf uence will be
greater, his services more valuable.
In our opinion, Hardeman County
will find it difficult to select
more worthy representative.

every citizen OF your city and coun-
ty, and that is a project for a rail-
road from Stevenson, Ala, to
Memphis, Tenn, on an air line
from Winchester due west, which
would take it through your county
and city. For the past three years
[ have been negotiating with an
English syndicate to purchase a
tract of $4,000 acres of coal and
numbered lands lying in this vicin-
ity, and, one of the considerations
was to build line of railway from
some point on the Tennessee River
to this place to give us another out
let. I have at last succeeded in
finding a company that is not only
willing to take the land, but to
build the road, and they wish to
build to the Mississippi River. /
am in receipt of information from
the managing directors of power
full London company that they will
soon send on engineers and experts
to examine our lands and projected
railway. The manager has been
here and examined the whole
thing, and advises his company to
make the purchase; and he writes
me that there is not a particle of
doubt but that they will take the
land and build the road.
The object of this letter is to in
vite the cooperation of the people
of your city and county. | wish
them to appoint committee to
correspond with me on the subject
and to meet me and similar COM
mittee from all the counties thro'
which the road will pass, in a gen
eral meeting to form a permanent
organization, procure a charter and
make arrangements for securing
right of way, etc. / do not favor
the idea of counties voting aid to
rich corporations to build railroads,
or anything of the kind, and shall
not ask any county to Go 80 in this
case, but we can arrange all the
prellminaries and be in shape to
sell out the whole line to the En-
glisb company. | therefore invite
the cooperation of the people of
your city aud county and hope to
receive a communication from a
committee appointed for that pur-
pose In the near future. | deem it
entirely unnecessary to say anything
about the benefits that would ac-
crue from the building of such
road any one could tell at once
what benefit a road from Steven
son to Memphis through the south>
ern part of our state would be
worth. Respectfully,
