grounds OF the Rogersville club yestel-
day in two games, one at 9:20 a. m.

club was victorious in both games.
The morning game was not much in

today in harmony and good feeling

Jerome Greenwood, who ran the

ton street in the Montgomery build
ing, has folded his tent and silently,
softly and slyly stole away, leaving
quite a number of creditors to mourn.
Yesterday those who had credited
Greenwo ID held kind of sympathy
meeting and compared notes as to
how, how much, and how easily they
were taken in and done for by the
merry Greenwood, who was a compar-
ative stranger. He came here from
Athens, this State, in April and open
ed meat shop next to the r. E, Tan
ner Grocery Co., afterwards removing
to the Montgomery building. He
bought his cattle on credit, bought a
horse on credit, traded it off for an.
other one, and sold it for cash, failed
to pay his help, and, in fact, did a
general credit business" J." except when
you wanted some of his beef, when il
was cash down. Greenwood must have
"done WE'LL" and, no doubt, carried
away quite sum of money. He has
probably gone to Minnesota, where he
said he originally came from, to spend
the dog days amid the charming
scenes of Lake Minnetonka. The fell
lows who credited him will not take q

Death Penalty COMMITTED to Impris.
Onment for Life in the Peniten-

NASHVILLE, August 10.-Last night
at 7;1O o'clock Gov. John P. Buch-
anan signed the Communication of H.
Clay Kings death sentence to impris-
on ment for life. Ten minutes later
Secretary OF State Miller had signed it
and affixed the great seal Of the State
of Tennessee to the official document.
A messenger boy was dispatched post
haste to the train, which left for Mem.
phis few minutes later, bearing let.
ter addressed to Sheriff McLendon, of
Memphis, commanding him TO stay
the preparations for execution and to
deliver the body of the said King to
the High Sheriff of the State to be Car.
ried to the State penitentiary and TO be
confined therein.
Mrs. H. Clay King sat at Governor
Buchanan's elbow when the commu.
tation was signed. Gov. Buchanan
promised her yesterday that he would
commute Kings sentence. Mrs. King
was radiantly happy.
senator Isham G.. Harris called on
Gov. Buchanan yesterday morning
and entreated him that King be COM
mUted. Judge Greer, of Memphis,
also called.
THE GOVERNORS REASONS.
When seen last night Gov. Buch-
anan said that King had not been
treated as fairly as he could have been
in the trial OF his cause. Gov. Buch.
anan said there we're three things in
favor of the Icommutation OF Kings
sentence-that one of the jurors had
expressed an opinion, another had
communicated with outside parties
and the jury going to Arkansas, and
there celebrating in another State,
was enough OF itself to be considered.
Gov. Buchanan thinks he has done
right and says but little about the
Communication OF King. "Justice to all
men is guaranteed by the laws OF Ten.
nnessee," said the governor, mean
ingly.
, Gen. Luke E. Right, OF Memphis,
of the counsel for the persecution, and
who is attending the convention,
when seen tonight, said the law had
been tried and found wanting. We
have had Chief Executive who is
bigger than the law of his own State.
The sentiment in Nashville has been
strongly in Kings favor, and it was
, believed by everyone that King would
, be commuted.
EFFORT FOR RELEASE.
1t is thought now that Gen. Garland
8 will make an immediate effort before
. the Supreme Court of the United
States to have King released from his
lite sentence.
R Mrs. King leaves in the morning
for Memphis to tell her husband oI
the news. Mrs. King and her daugh
ters have pleaded day by day witt
tears in their eyes for the aged mur
= derer. Mrs. King would not be inter
viewed by reporter tonight.
Unless the United States Court re
leases, King will be brought to th'
penitentiary about Sunday.

Brings an Order From Germany.

"Record-Union'' Advertisements
Brings an Order From Germany.
Joseph Hahn d Co., wholesale and re-
tail druggists of this city. on Saturday
hlled an order for certain medicines car
RED by that firm, to be forwarded to
Saxe-Coburg, Germany.
The order came from person who had
there observed Mr.. Hahn's advertisement
IN the RECORD UNION. Business men
understand the value of advertising in a
long established paper, whose circulation
is not limited by a townships boundary
lines. but is read in every county of the
State, In nearly every State of the Union,
and even In countries beyond the ocean.
1t was only few months ago that the
RECORD UNION was the means OF bring
ing to the notice of a family in DedhaIn,
Mass, the fact that one of its mem bers
had been killed at Freeport, in this
county. The man was buried here as an
unknown.
Not very long ago there came from the
Kimberly South African) diamond fields
letters OF inquiry concerning matters
read there in the RECORD UNION. From
the Sandwich Islands frequent correspon-
dence comes relative to advertisements
and announcements made in this Jour
nal, and from many other distant parts to
which the paper penetrates come frequent
letters of inquiry concerning California
and business publications, caused by
what is read in this paper abroad. From
nearly every State in the Union letters of
similar purport are received week after
week, owing TO the extent to which the
circulation of the RECORD UNION reaches.
The enormous country order business
done by houses OF this city for years past
is one OF the direct results of advertising
in papers Of general circulation, like the
RECoRD-UN
These things explain why it pays to
advertise judiciously.
