To The Editor of the Union Times:
Allow me, through the columns Of YOUR
raper, to announce myself candidate for a
seat in the House Of Representatives, sub
lect to endorsement by tho democratic voters
at the next Primary Election.
am. as l always have been, opposed to
tns states supporting Institutions of Higher
Education, and if the democrats Of Union
County csnnot endorse opposition to Higher
Education by the State, do not want them
to endorse me. It is not the Office that I
want, but want the people Of Union County
to soy by their honest votes that Higher
Education by the State is no longer necss.
sary, Therefore, is = useless expense to the
State. Simply this, and nothing more.

COL. JNo. H. SAVAGE
win Talk Democracy TO Montgomery
Countians.

On the 10th day of September Col.
Jno. III. Savage will address the peo-
pie OF Montgomery county at Clarks-
vile. Col. Savage needs no intro.
duction to our people. For more
than thirty years he has been con-
spicuous and important figure in Ten
nessee politics. During the agitation
OF the State debt in Tennessee, he oc-
cupied prominent place, the leader
of the low tax party Of the State, and
to him possibly more than any other
one man in the State should be cred
tied the final settlement ofthat vexed
question. Col. Savage has always
been Democrat, understands what
Democracy means, believes in the
supremacy Of the people over all
power, and those SO fortunate as to
hear him on the 10th ofSeptemberwill
be entertained and enlightened. Let's
all reason together. The people can't
have too much light. The exercise
OF the ballot is a solemn trust, and
we should confer together and listen
to men who have honestly, carefully
and conscientiously made study of
the questions to be settled.

HAS THE RIGHT RING.
Citizens of Clarksville, Listen to
This.
A Proposition That Should Be Gladly
Complied With-An Admirable
Spirit.

A gentleman called at the LEAF
CHRONICLE Office and authorized the
announcement that he would be one
Of twenty persons to subscribe $40 90
for the purpose of raising fund
from which to supply the immediate
necessities of our military boys dur
ing their enforced absence at Coal
Creek. He requests those who are
willing to subscribe to this fund to
communicate Immediately with him
through this Office. If there are not
enough patriotic citizens in Clkfks-
vile to respond promptly to this ap-
peal we shall be very much sur
prised. When 1t is considered that
our boys are 80 situated that they are
personally unable to supply them
selves with these necessities it should
be a labor Of love for their friends
here to rally loyalty to them. Every
good citizen Of Clarksville is indi-
rectly under obligations to the
Clarksville City Guards. Then let
this fund be speedily raised and its
disposition be entrusted to a commit
tee to be- selected by the subscribers
thereof.
Quick! Who will be the second to
subscribe $1,000 to this worthy OBJ
iect.

A Lively Runaway.

Robert Harper, a south side farm
er, brought load of water melons to
town yesterday, and while returning
home came near meeting with a seri-
Gus accident. His mules became
frightened as he was driving out
Greenwood extension at street car,
and started on a lively run. He man
aged to keep them on the street, and
by dexterous movement, which
seemed to bystanders suicidal, turned
his team into the cemetery gate,
which was half open, and finally
managed to stop them without doing
any damage, except to one of J. II.
Neblett's flower beds.

General Wheeler a. Home.

At his home in Alabama General
Wheeler loves to hoe in his garden.
Mrs. Wheeler says he will be working
away with his hoe, striking about eighty
clips to the minute and destroying q
weed with every stroke. when some idea
will come into his mind concerning pub
lie affairs. He drops the hoe, runs at the
top of his speed into the house, picks up
q pen, dashes off dozen words or so at
an incredible rate and then rushes back
to his hoe. Perhaps this process will be
repeated half dozen times an hour.
That is the way this peculiar little man,
who was one of the bravest and most
brilliant cavalry officers Of the eonfed-
eracy, prepares his speeches.

POLITICS In LOGAN.
An Interesting Resume of the Sit

A Judge and Commonweelth's Attorney
To Be Nominated at Russellville
To-day-Judge Reeves, the
Present Incumbent,
the Man.

Special to the Leaf-Cnronicle.
RUssELLvILLE, KY, Aug PA
Democratic convention will be held
here this afternoon to nominate Q
Judge and Commonwealth's Attor-
ney for this judicial district. Many
of the delegates arrived on the morn
ing trains and others will get in this
afternoon. Judge Reeves, the pres
ent Circuit Judge, has no opposition
and will get the nomination. He
will, however, b.opposed by Re-
publican in November. 1t is believ-
ed that Judge Roark, of Muhlenberg
county, will be the Republican NOM
inee. He will hardly be in the fight
on election day, as Todd and Logan
counties are both strongly Democrat
ic, and because Judge Reeves being
a Todd county man, will carry it by
a handsome majority.
The contest for the Democratic
nomination for commemorative At
torney is already at fever heat this
morning and the fight will be in
teresting. The announced candidates
are Byars, of Todd county, and Geo.
s. Hardy, of Logan. Todd and
Simpson have instructed for Byars,
but Logan and Muhlenberg counties
are uninstructed. The two latter
have enough votes to nominate, and
there is a good chance for dark
horse to slip In if they get down to
work this afternoon.
Prominent Republicans are now
saying quietly that Hunter will not
accept the Republican nominotion
for Congress in this district, which
has been rendered him. 1t is said
that he has had enough of running
against Goodnight, and that, having
turned his attention to the accumu-
lation of wealth, he is slow to let go
of it. Among other lines of business
he is now engaged in that of water
works contractor, and recently, when
figuring on water works for Frank
lin, Mr.. Goodnight's home, he said
he was out of politics and would not
run again for Congress.
The Hon. ]. III. Goodnight is rest
ing quietly at Franklin, with both
eyes wide open. He is in the best
condition mentally and physically
for a hot campaign and If there is
not fun in the blJody Third this fall
it will be because he cannot find a
foeman worthy of his steel.
DIR. Biggers, the Third party nomi.
nee, is still making points as though
he in tended TO land somewhere; no.
body knows where it will be. His
candidacy is the ridiculous feature of
the entire campaign

ATLANTIC CITY, Aug. 1S.-This is the
greatest summer resort in the United
States. No other attracts one-half SO
many visitors. It is city of pleasure
whose magnitude astonishes all behold
ers. Atlantic City stretches three miles
or more up and down the shore, and ex-
tends back from the sea about half a
mile. Within this area are 700 hotels
and cottages licensed to entertain
guests. Seven hundred is large num-
Der OF hotels for one town when you
come to think of it. Besides there are
thousands of cottages owned by people
who come here for the summer months
and invite their friends to sojourn with
them.
In this way Atlantic City, which ordi-
narily contains about 10000 population,
swells up to q regular population of
about 100000 during the month of Au-
