WELCOME TO THE SOLDIER BOYS.
The presence of the First Regiment
of Tennessee National Guards at our
Arsenal celebration next week will
add greatly TO the impressiveness of
the ceremonies. They will form in
front of the Bethel House on the
morning of the 18th. and led by the
fine military band of Cincinnati, will
escort he orators of the day to the
Arsenal grounds with such military
display as Columbia has not wit
messed in the last quarter of CEN
fury. Their evOlutiOns on the Arse
nal grounds at the flag raising and
other events of the day will contrib
ute much to the effect of the occa-
sion. Among several hundred men
and officers who will be included in
their ranks are representative of the
best manhood of the State, and Co
Iumbia should be proud to welcome
them, and will handsomely entertain
them. Especial praise is due Adjt
Gen. Norman and Maj. w. ID. Thomas
for the interest they have manifested
in bringing these troops here to grace
the occasion. The flOurishing cOndi-
ton of these military companies
shows that the martial spirit which
has always characterized the OLD
Volunteer State is still alive
1t should be kept alive by the en-
enlargement which comes from prop
er appreciation shown on such Occa.
sions as our celebration. We can as.
sure the boys of a hearty welcome tc
old MaurY.

Coming, Father Abraham.

Indications now point to an i'm
mense crowd here on the 18th and
18th. Special trains will be run from
Nashville, Birmingham, Florence
and other points.
The town will be gaily decorated for
the occasion. Col. Fellows and the
other orators Of national fame hereto
fore announced constitute such an
array of distinguished speakers as
Tennessee has not seen in these many
years. They will speak in the beauti-
ful AtheI ;UJm Grove, in the centre of
ColumCIa, where the cOngregated
thousands can easily go and be
accommodated. TIE political meet
ing on the Nth has no connection
with the arsenal celebration on the
18th, but the people assembled to
witness the one can also enjoy the
other.
Perhaps no other orator Of the day
is the equal of Col. Fellows in his
ability to please and sway a popular
assembly, and certainly there is none
who will draw more people TO hear
him. Ali the arrangements for Co
lumbia'5 great midsummer entertain
ment are becoming vigorously and
enthusiastically pushed to compile
ton. EichhOTn's Band is the lates
attraction that has been engaged.
The grand reception, banquet and
ball to be given on the night of the
18th will probably he the largest affair
of it's kind ever held III the State.
There is ample room in the great cen
trail arsenal building for 500 couples
TO dance at one time, and the pros
poets now are that it will be crowded
to its fullest capacity. This room,
however, is only one of four that Will
be developed to the reception, so
every one will be entirely COM
Portable.

COL. JOHN r.. FELLOWS

Col. John r. Fellows, the latest adj
dition to the army of orators who are
to open the Presidential campaign
here on the 18th, is the most eloquent
Democrat in Congress, perhaps.
Southern people are particularly
proud of him, because he is South
ern man. He is a native of Arkan-
sas, aud served calamity in the Con-
federate army. After the war he
went to New York, without money
or friends, and by sheer force OF ge.
MUS has risen to the highest positions
at the bar and in politics. He was
for several years the prosecuting at
torney fer New York City and won
great fame by his successful war on
the Doodle Aldermen. When his
term expired he was sent to represent
the city OF New York in Congress,
where he has easily kept in the front
ranks of that able body. Whether in
Arkansas or New York or Washing
ton, he is universally popular, having,
in addition to his learning and elo-
quence, a warm-hearted good fellow
ship that endears him to the people.
We are particularly fortunate in being
able to secure him and should show
our appreciation of his coming by
dropping all business on that day and
turning out i'll full force to hear him.

"Glimpses of Maury County" is the
title of an exceedingly attractive
pamphlet by the HERALD's own
TrotW God, published under the dircc-
ton and at the expense of w. G.
! Jones.
In this sketch of forty and more
pages, Trotwood appears in his hap
piest mood, touching briefly but inn
pressively upon the most striking
pahses Of our county history; upon
its great men and fair women and
their influence on the world; upon
our matchless resources and the men
and interest occupying the most
prominent places in the notice of the
public at the present time. The
pamphlet is divided into two chap
tiers and they into topics with appro-
pirate heads, so that the reader may
catch at glance those features most
interesting to him. This admirable
arrangement distinguishes the sketch
at once from the prosy form typ
zeal of most descriptions of the
hllN anu SllLhuAeAISS ny 1lS NC4S oP
pearance a desire in the reader to
give it more than passing notice.
But though the form is fine the sub
ject matter is fine. AS "a word painter
Trotwood has no superior, and
spreads the glow of fascinating color
on all that he touches. Facts and
statistics, ordinarily unattractive, are
couched in terms so fine that you
read them with interest. Touches of
rich fancy there are to please you at
every turn, and the poetic nature of
the writer crops out at the the most
unexpected places.
In his anticipation OF the flag rails
ing on the 18th at the Arsenal he
seems spontaneously to have run into
poetic language and gives two verses
which will compare favOrably with
the "Star Spangled Banner" and
poems Of that nature. Upon the
whole, "Glimpses Of Maury County"
is the best description we have ever
noticed. In addition to this article,
the pamphlet contains a full list of
the entries for the great fall meeting
at the Columbia Driving Park, and
calls attention, in striking manner,
to our great Arsenal celebration on
the 18th.
The whole pamphlet contains sixty

That mOngrel aggregation Of politi-
cal roustabouts and renegades-the
elf-styled party of the PeOple-in
invention at Omaha, has resOluted
and put out candidates for President
and Vice President.
The bright and shining lights of the
Omaha convention were political
shysters and demagOgues and adven-
turers who have been disappointed
II the two great political parties and
have been kicked out on general
principles and for general cussedness.
If some enterprising Snowman or
dime museum proprietor had spread
his nets and opened his cage doors in
Omaha during the last few days, he
could have captured enough freaks to
stock hundred menageries, and the
greatest among these freaks would
have been Mrs. Lease of Kansas and
our own unrivaled and bewhiskered
]. Hugh Mcdowell and his jumping
jack attachment, Taylor, of the Toiler.
In convention assembled the Peo-
ple's party declares itself the only
salvation for a nation brought to the
verge of moral, political and material
ruin, and heads its ticket with James
B. Weaver, an old political hack,
who has been on all sides of all ques-
tiOns and affiliated with all political
parties at various times.
Some good Democrats have been
deiuded into the Peoples party, but
they will see the error OF their ways
aud come back to the fold by Nov. s.

Call for Democratic Primaries.

At meeting of the Maury County
Democratic Executive Committee, held
in the Circuit Court room in Columbia,
on Monday, June n, the following resO-
luton was offered by l.. u. Padgett and
adopted, to-wit:
BE it resolved, that the Democratic
committeeman in each civil district in
Maury County open and hold an cleo
ton on the 4th day Of August, 1892, at
the several voting precincts in the dis
tricts, between the hours Of 9 a. III. and I
p. M, to select delegates to the State Gu
bcrnatOrial convention, to be held at
Nashville on the 9th day Of August next;
and that the delegates instructed ut that
time meet at the court house in Column
bia on the Monday following, to organize
by electing chairman, etc.
1t was further resolved that on the
same day the committeeman should
open and hold, ut or near the same place,
during the same hour, Il Democratic
primary election to select delegates to a
convention to be held in Columbia on
the Monday following, to select Demo-
cratic candidates for the State Senate
and the representatives to the Lower
House.
In obedience to the above resolutions,
/ hereby call upon the committeeman OF
the civil districts to open and hold said
elections in conformity with and for the
purposes expressed in the resolutions
adopted by the committee.
Since the meeting of the committee,
acting under authority conferred by a
resolution adopted at previous meet
ing, | met in conference with the other
Democratic chairmon of this tlOaterial
district, to decide the manner of chOOs-
ing candidate for Iloatcr. At this con
ference il was determined that a cOnven-
ton of delegates from the several COun-
ties of this tiOaterial dist ict should meet
in Columbia on August p, To nominate
Il candidate; in the meantime the dele
gates to be chosen in such manner as
the chairmen might determine for their
respective counties.
IN furtherance of the above, | hereby
charge the district committeeman with
the further duty Of opening and holding
primary elections on the 4th of August,
from 9 a. IN. to p. m, to elect delegates
To the aforesaid FlOaterial convention to
he held in Columbia on August %.
l hope the individual members of the
committee Will allow me to make Sug-
gestion, and pardon my presumption in
doing so. In his private, individual ca
pacity, / believe any man has right to
be partisan. In his official capacity, ]
hold that no man has that right. !
would suggest, therefore, to the several
committeeman, that III selecting their
judges and clerks to hold the elections,
they choose Democrats representing
both Turney and Buchanan factions. !
make this suggestion in the interest of
no man or faction, but for the sake of
harmony in the Democratic party in this
county, and because it is right. The
right way and safe way to insure sue
cess for the Democracy in this county in
November, is to give the Democratic
voters in the primaries a free ballot and
a fair count. f. ID. LANDER,

NASHVILLE, July 5.-TSpeciall.-
Two bank officers are missing from

teller, and William e. Turner, book
keeper, of the City Savings Bank.
About twelve thousand dollars is
also missing and is supposed TO have
borne them company to Mexico.
Gale and Turner roomed together
at the Nicholson. They left Saturday

They had not come back as expected
and yesterday the bank officers tele-
graphed Mr.. Gales mother, who has
a cottage at Montesgle. She an
swered that her son had not been
there.
The books were examined and the
shortage found. The books show
that the money was all taken Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday, so that
the pair are well fixed for a time.

Gale and Turner if they had not
already gone through.
Gale is % years old and Turner %,
and both have been high-nyers in

poker heavily at the Capital Club
here, it is said, and many doubt
whether he really carried away
much money, il any.
The affair has created great local
sensation on account of the promin-

Mr.. John II. Mcdowell is a man Of
| remarkable aptitude in changing his
political principles to suit the ext.
geucies of the times and the state OF
his pocket book.
He was first a scalawag in Arllan'
! sas. There he ran with the negroes
ate with them and was elected to
office by them. But the scaIawags
were kicked out in Arkansas and he
then turns up in Tennessee in his
second role.
In the second stage of this political
pupa's existence, we behold him an
avOwed Prohibitionist. Under this
guise he was elected to the State
Senate, but when his party was de-
feated at the polls he quickly turned
Democrat.
In this stage OF his existence he
worked on and deceived the honest
farmers, was appointed to a most
lucrative position under Gov. Buch-
anan and protested his Democracy
from nearly every stump in the State.
But being exposed and thoroughly
shown up, he arrives now at the stage
of his political existence to which he
has all the time been tending; for
which he left Arkansas, for which he
turned prohibitionist, for which he
stole like a knitting thief into the
Democratic household-to organize a
party to disrupt the white people.
This is his chief and only aim.
We know you of old, John Henry.
We have fought your principles,
your designs and your dirt from the
days of reconstruction to the present
You have rolled your wooden horse,
filled with traitors and foes like
yourself, into the walls of our city, bat
we will promptly hurl you all over
our parapets into the sea.

BRITISH ELECTIONS.
The Campaign Growing More Wild and
Exciting Daily.


NEW York, July "A dispatch
from London says: The election
campaign grows more wild and eXcit-
ing daily. To-day the Free Land
League commenced the circulation of
one million copies of a manifesto
which will lie sent both into the
towns and the country districts. 1t
points out the injury done, not only
to the farmers and agricultural la
bOrers, but also to the towns by the
present system of land ownership
and urges the electors to vote only for
candidates who will vote for laws
that will give the freedom to the soil
that the laws have given to its pro-
ducts, and which they give to per-
sonal property of every kind, and who
will favor a change in the laws that
will give to every present generation
absolute control over the soil, free
from paralyzing influences which af-
fict it now from the ignorance, folly
and pride of the generations that
have passed away. An appeal to the
nOn-cOmfOrmists of England, Scot
land and Wales has also been issued
by their brethren in Ireland pointing
out the disastrous consequences that
must ensue from placing the loyal
inhabitants of Ireland under the
nomination of a Legislature elected
under the control of the Catholic
Church.
