WE have confidence in Benton

lieve that if rs of her best ears of
corn be put on exhibition at the
convention to be held at Jackson
the 25th of next month for the pur-
pose of perfecting permanent or
ganization of the farmers, horti-
culturists, and, stock-breeders Of
West Tennessee, that if it did not
take the highest prize of SIS it
would take the second prize of $40
at the least. There are also pre-
NUNS offered by State Commits

special premiums offered for other

was effected by the prisoner paying the
cost OF The suit and leaving TO two arbi-
traitors, j. p Mcknight esq, and j. II.
Hunley, as TO what punishment should
be inflicted upon the prisoner. These
gentlemen, after mature deliheraton, de-
cided that if the boys father would take
bis son, and in the presence Of witnesses,
give him good fogaing that the law
would be Justified. This was readily
agreed to and the boy received good
iiogging from his sire. The young man
learned lesson from this experience
that will in the future keep him in the
paths of virtue.

The contest for the UnitedStates
Marshalship Of West Tennessee
ended last Saturday in the appoint
ment of Hon. JOSEPH A. MANSON,
of Hardeman County. There is no
better Democrat in Tennessee than
Mr.. MANSON, whose merits have
more than once been recognized by
the people Of the State, and he is
held in the highest esteem by all
who know him.

THERE is not another county in
West Tennessee in which there is
SO little land sold by the sheriff as
Benton County. While some Of
our exchanges are often compelled
to get out extras in order to publish
the sheriff's sales, the space occupi-
ed by the sheriff in this county for
that purpose is seldom more than
acolumn and often less than three
inches. OF course this is not ben
efcial to the printer, but it shows
that land in Benton County is all
more or less valuable and the par
ties who own it are able and will
ing to pay their taxes. Show us a
county in the State that will equal
it.

In rebuilding Hollow Rock the
citizens of that unfortunate town
are somewhat divided and can not
agree upon a location. An effort is
being made to incorporate the old
part Of the town on the Nashville,
Chattanooga and st. Louis Rail
road, which is strenuously objected
to by those who are building on
the line Of the Paducah, Tennessee
and Alabama Railroad, and as a re-
suit anything but ia pleasant state of
feeling exists among the good peo-
pie who are thus divided in the mat
ter of location. MUzzELL, MACK
ms e. Co., are erecting a business
house on the old site, and @. L.
PHILLIPS &c Sons are building in
that section near the Alabama ho-
tel. A town thus divided against
itself can not stand. We counsel
our neighbors to speedily adjust
their differences and work harmo-
niously in rebuilding the town.

This community was greatly shocked
by the announcement Tuesday Of last
week of the death of Prof. G. L. Baker,
one of the classic students of the Holla-
day Independent Normal School. Ty-
phoid fever, brought on by over-study, is
said to have been the cause Of his death.
Mr.. Baker was a noble young man, and
was first and foremost in all his classes
from the time he entered school here
some two years ago until he was taken
sick. His remains were inferred at the
family burying ground near Parker's
Landing, ON Tennessee River. Quite q
number from this place, including James
B. VIckery, NJ. A, Tucker, Joe Woods,
Tom Baugus. Commodore Enochs and L.
E. Holiday attended the funeral sery-
ices.
Owing to the inclemency Of the weather
there was no singing services at the Meth
odist Episcopal Church, South, Sunday
afternoon, as had been previously an
nounced. We have an excellent singing
class here under the the special manage
ment of Prof. T, j. Garish.
The Holiday Independent Normal
School is still booming With two such
men as Ben Jamison and George Leslie
as its managers any institation of learning
would boom and prosper.
When you are at Holiday ask
jim Vickery, if he has quit "skeering"
people and saying "please."
Professor Diggs, if he has carried his
very best girl to singing lately.
Prof. L e, Holiday, if he has eat any
more watermelons.
Jack Allen, how came him out SO late
Sunday night in the rain.
Melon Tucker, when he is going to visit
the "cane " again.
Joe Woods, if he has carried his best
girls mail up to-day,
J. G. King, how he likes his new posi-
ton as clerk at the city hotel.
Tom Baugus. if he has been to theskat-
ing rink yet.
Ben Jamison, if he is taking mnsic les

DEATHS VICTIMS.
BAKER.

chronicles the death OF Prof, G. l..
Baker, a former student Of the Hol- |
.aday Independent Normal School,
which occurred last week. The sad |
news Of the death of this young
man was indeed a great shock to
us, for we were not even aware of
his illness. While he was a student
at Holladay it was our pleasure to,
form the acquaintance Of Mr. Ba-
ker, who will be remembered as the
energetic correspondent for The
CHRONICLE from that place, whom
we found to be a thorough gentle
man and most exemplary young
man. No one stood higher in the
estimation Of the good people of
Holiday and in the community in
which he resided than Mr.. Baker,
who graduated in the scientific
course at the Holiday Independ-
ent Normal Of the class Of 1898.
We hasten to join with the friends
Of the deceased in extending our
heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved
relatives.
