Miscellaneous.

THE Tennessee Bankers Association
met in Knoxville last week, with an at
tendance of about 100. Resolutions
were adopted asking for the repeal OF
the Sherman silver purchase act, and
protesting against the repeal Of the 10
per cent. tax on State banks.
Gov. TURNEY last week pardoned AL
bert Holmes, convicted in the Shelby
County Criminal Court September, 1892.
for larceny and seut up for one year.
The pardon was recommended by the
attorney-general on the ground that the
prosecution was questionable.
THE special municipal election held
at Kenton last week to ascertain the
wishes of the voters upon the subject Of
a school tax to supplement the State
and county free school fund and estab-
lish high grade free school in the town
resulted in favor of the tax.
THERE were 1000 people at the annual
decoration of Confederate graves in
Nash Vile last week. The grafton of
the day was delivered by Senator E. L.
Bullock, of Madison. 1t was mastery
effort, rejecting the cause of the South
prior to the war and the cause of the
South today, and attracted the closest
attention from those present. Senator
Bullock was followed by Representa-
tive Ellis, of Williamson, who also de-
nvered though tful, though brief ad-
dress.
DIR. f. NJ. MCREE, living one mile west
of Union City, came near being killed by
a mad bull last week. The Doctor, is in
the habit of tying the animal at night
to tree, and when released one morn
ing last week he was found to be in
very bad humor. When he loosened
the rope from the tree the savage brute
attacked him, throwing him to the
ground, plunging his full weight upon
his breast and attempted to gore him
with his horns, which, fortunately for
the Doctor, had their sharp tips sawed
off, which evidently saved his life.
ISAAC NJ. STEELE, one of the oldest
members of the Ripley bar, died last
week, aged SO years. He went to Ripley
about the year 1868. living there num-
ber of years, and then removed to Gov
inrton, where he resided until 1865,
when he returned to Ripley, where he
since lived. Several children survive
him.
BEN PENNINGTON, who lives two miles
east of Trimble, will probably die from
injuries inflicted by vicious mule. The
mule attacked and killed fine young
colt belonging to Pennington, and when
that gentleman attempted to drive the
mule away from the colt the maddened
animal turned on him.

A Factory Assigns.

The Arlington Spoke and Rim Fac
tory made a general assignment last
week to F. d. Bodman, for the benefit
of its creditors. The assets of the con-
cern are estimated at $4,000, and the
Liabilities at from S6 600 to $1,000.
The factory, under its present man
agement, began business in 1890, the
owners having succeeded H. Warner &
Co. The concern was considerably en-
barrassed when it came into the possess
sion of the present owners, they being
chiefly the creditors of the old COM
pany, who became the purchasers to
save themselves. The cause of the
present assignment is the general de-
preston in this line of business, and a
lack of capital to conduct it upon a pay
ing basis. The factory has been
shut down since the latter part of Feb
ruary, since which time the proprietors
have been disposing Of the stock on
hand. The assignment includes the
entire plant, which is one of the best
together with all of the stock on hand,
valued at about 81, 500, and everything
connected with it. The trustee is in
structed to dispose of the plant and
stock as his Judgment dictates, either
by public or private sale, until Septem-
be 1st, after which time, if the sale is
not completed, at public outcry to tho
highest bidder.
The concern when in full operation
employed about fifty men.
