The FARMERS SIDE,
Where We are, h0W We got here,
and the Way out"

There is a demand for a comprehensive and
authoritative book which shall represent the
farmer, and set forth his condition, the infu-
ences surrounding him, and plans and prospects
for the future. This book has been written by
Hon. W. A. PETER, who was elected to the
United States Senate from Kansas to succeed
Senator Ingalls,. The title is THE FARMERS
SIDE, and this indicates the purpose Of the work.
In the earlier chapters, Senator PETER de-
scribes the condition of the farmer in various
parts of the country, and compares it with the
condition of men in other callings. He carefully
examines the cost of labor, of living, the prices
of crops, taxes, mortgages, and rates Of interest.
He gives elaborate tables showing the increase
of wealth in railroads, manufactures, banking,
and other forms of business, and he compares
this with the earnings of the farmer, and also
wage-workers in general. In a clear, forcibIe
style, with abundant citations of facts and fig
ures, the author tells how the farmer reached
his present unsatisfactory condition. Then fol-
lows an elaborate discussion Of "The Way out"
which is the fullest and most authoritative pres
e~ntation of the aims and views of the Farmers
Alliance that has been published, including full
discussions of the currency, the questions of
interest and mortgages, railroads, the sale Of
crops, and other matters of vital consequence.
This book is the only one which attempts to
cover the whole ground, and it is unnecessary
to emphasize its value. 1t is a compendium of
the facts, figures, and suggestions which the
farmer ought to have at hand.
THE farmers SIDE has just been issued,
and makes a handsome and substantial book
of $50 pages. We have arranged with the pub
fishers for its sale to our readers at the pub
fishers price. The book may be obtained at
our Office, or we will forward copies to anv
address, postpaid, on receipt of $1.0O per copy.

Mr.. EDTTOR:-The champions of the

To Our Readers.

The HERALD Company has discon'
tinped its daily edition, and hereafts
the management will give their
undivided time to the old reliable
Friday weekly, aid we promise to
give you the very best paper the
news of the county and the bushes
of the town will afford.
At the time the DAILY was started
the HERALD contemplated changing
from its present fOrm-a nine column
fOlio-to SIX column quarto. The
new paper liz a prettier shape and a
little larger, and the eight pages will
enable us to arrange both our read
ing matter and advertisements moe
conveniently and attrac;ively. This
change we will make 5 ,metine in
January, just rs soon as we have
used up the stock OF paper OF the
present size that We already have on
hand.
The HERALD has always b Ell true
to the people and jealous ami enter
prising in it's efforts TO build up Co
lumbia and Msury COUNTY, and We
hope our friends will continue their
subscriptions with uS, and 81 take
occasion to speak a good word for US
in season. Show your paper TO your
neighbor and tell him to sub criOe.

COY. TAYLOR.

The people of Columbia will have
another opportunity of hearing Ex-
Gov. Bob Taylor in his famous lee
ture, "The Fiddle and the Bow" at
the Grand Opera House next Thurs
day night, Dec. Is. Gov. Taylor de-
livered his lecture here once before,
but labored under the disadvantage
of a rainy evening, and had to COM
pete with very prominent church
wedding. All who have heard Gov.
Bob on the stump will want to hear
him on the lecture platform, and by
crOwding the Opera House next
Thursday night they will not only
get the worth of their money, but
will show in q substantial manner
their appreciation Of his untiring
and unceasing labors for the cause OF
Democracy during the late cam
paign. 1t is said, and truly, that no
man has q warmer place in the
hearts of the people of Tennessee
than Bob Taylor; and Maury County
and Columbia in particular appre-
ciate him and will turn out en- masse
TO hear his humorous lecture.

To Advertisers.

Christmas is coming and of course
YOU want to advertise for the Christ
mas trade. Human nature is much
the same the world over. You, IKE
Vour own customers, want to get the
most and the best you can for your
money.
and where to advertise for the
Christmas trade, but you are also
thinking of what advertising con-
tracts YOU will make for next year.
Now we have q few plain figures
for YOUR consideration. The daily
HERALD did not make expenses Tor
itself, but it did build Up the clrcula-
ton for the weekly. We have in
round numbers now Two THOUSAND
SUBSCRIBERS to our weekly II IL
proves to be a few more, OF course
Won won't object. We are publish
ing now EIGHTY ODD quires OF paper
every week. Every quire has twenty
four papers in it. Multiply eighty 9y
twenty-four, then guess at the odh
auires; we do not give them because
thew vary, but you may saIely put
your figures at 1000.
Now this is more than the HERALD
ever claimed before, because IL Is
more than the HERALD ever had De-
fore, ana the hERAbD OhiJ
what it has. II it paid you to adver-
tise with us when our circulation
was less than it Island you know IL
did-it will pay you better now.
Under the circumstances IL WouIo
not be unreasonable in US to advance
our rates. But the HERALD wants
to be liberal with those who are
liberal with it, and therefore our
rates will remain the same.
We hope in this fair, liberal AND
legitimate way, to get back the
money our enterprise in running q
daily cost US.
We not only have 1000 bonifide
subscribers now, but we expect ouI
| list to still increase. The people feel
kindly towards the HERALD for the
straight Democracy it always teaches
and for the efforC it has made to give
the town a daily paper. We feel thai
we never enjoyed the good will OF the
people more than we do TO-DAY; ano
we are proud of it and grateful for 1t
But in addition to all this, we IN
tend to swell our list by making suct
a liberal and attractive offer u
agents that the woods will be Iuil o.
them and new subscriber Will ot
compelled to come in.

JAY GOULD.

Unwept unhonored, the little Wall
Street Wizard ends his earthly career.
Endowed by his Creator with a great
mind, blessed by God with q wonder
full memory, he dwarfed them both to
the base use of money-mak1ng.
His life was a span; it goes out like
a candle; he leaves nothing, he has
done nothing good that will live after
him.
He was not so much smarter than
other men; he was only less scruPu-
lous. Many men have died poor, who
might have died rich. Many men
have died rich, who, had they been
honest, would have died poor.
JAY Gould did not belong strictly
to either of those classes. He could
have legitimately made comfortable
fortune, but had he been honest he
would not have amassed fifty million
dollars from fifty cents.
Jay Gould, more than any other
hundred causes, brought about the
Black Friday OF years ago. The
wrecked fortunes OF that day and the
ruined lives, would have haunted the
conscience of an honest man all the
days OF his life. The suicides that
followed, were his murders; the
wasted lives that slowly died out,
were his; the dissipated fortunes
were his robberies, the blighted hopes
were his.
1t was not by buying and build
ing up that he made his gains. II
was by scheming against and tearing
down the fortune of others. He was
greedy, graspiug, selfish and cruel
The heritage of gold he leaves behind
is a monument to his meanness. HI
was feared, hated and despised. Their
is not a charity that will own hi
name. There is not good deed t
rise up and call him blessed. Their
is not an act that should be emulated
Thousands of people would have live
happier and the world would hav
been better off without him. 81
sleeps the sleep of death in bis hun

THE laws of Tennessee do not per
NIT one man to fill more than one
office of profit and trust at the same
time. Therefore, when Judge Tur-
ney takes the oath of office as Gov
ernor, that act Will vacate his posi-
ton as Chief Justice. He will then
appoint his own successor. Nothing
can be clearer than his legal right to
do this. And it is not only a legal
right but it is moral obligation. He
would violate the wishes of the great
majority of the people of Tennessee
who have made him Governor il he
should do otherwise. This majority
have repudiated Buchanan in most
pronounced fashion. To allow him
to appoint one OF his creatures to the
most honorable office in the state
would be to defeat the will OF the
people so emphatically expressed al
the polls.

The Milan Exchange thinks John
II. Mcdowell would lust go out in
the woods and die if Carmack should
be elected Senator" And the Dyers-
burg Times thinks "there is not a
man in Tennessee who could fill the
exalted position of United States
Senator with greater credit to the
state" than Mr.. E. w. Carmack. We
find no trouble in agreeing with both
our contemporaries, and certainly
there is no man in the State the
HERALD would more cordially sup
port; but from u private letter from
Mr.. Carmack We feel authorized to
make the positive statement that he
is not a candidate and his name will
not go before the next legislature.
Some other legislature we hope will
have the pleasure of electing the
gentleman. Four years from now,
