LIMESTONE.

The excitement of the recent canvass
has died away, and the disappointed
ones have accepted the situation with
as good grace as possible. The leading
topic OF conversation now is the dis
asterous effect of the recent cold wealth
er on fruit, and vegetation of all kinds.
1t is certain there will not q peach in
this section, and almost as certain no
other fruit; although there is a faint
hope that a few belated apples may yet
bring forth bloom. The wheat in this
section was very forward. and it is SER
iously injured; but it has time to re-
cover, and we yet have hopes of a
bountiful crop. The present disaster,
added to the enjoyment of these good
old Democratic times, make the people
more respondent than usual. We highly
commend the efforts put forth in the
late convention, to let the primaries
settle the question of nomination. I'm
der present arrangements, if there are
more than two candidates, we don't see
that the primary settles anything. A
candidate might receive less than one
hundred votes, and through machina-
tions, be heralded as the peoples nomi-
nee. The people are beginning to take
these things in hand. The late move,
for each district to elect its chairman,
is a step in the right direction. Among
our nominees for county offices, we
find only n new one, and we predict
that he will be elected by an unprece-
denied majority, and that he will make
one of the best sheriffs we have ever
had. Among the fruits of our good
old Democratic times is Coxey's appar,
emily revolutionary and dangerous pro-
ject. We notice with pleasure that
many voters have openly renounced
their allegiance to the Democratic party
and join in with the party of progress
we believe such as already have done
so, will average five to the district in
this county, and we believe rs many
more will vote that way secretly in
August. Hurrah for Brownlow for Con-
gress in 1896. A REPUBLICAN.

TIERS FOR GO YERNOR.

In our last issue We placed the name
of Judge w. P. Gillenwaters at our
mast head for Governor, subject to the
action of the Republican State Con-
vention, when called.
Mr.. Gillenwaters stand at the head of
of the list, among all the prominent Re-
publiCans in Tennessee, when IL comes
to the question of State issues, and the
record and position of Tennessee Dem
ocracy upon local and State questions
in which people at this time are 80
vitality interested.
AS alawyer, he stands at the head
OF his profession, and as a public speak.
er has few equals, and nc superiors in
the State. He has never held office,
and therefore has no enemies to punish
or friends to reward. AS the Republi-
can candidate for Governor, he would
uncover the political sins of Bourbon
Democracy in such a way as to make
scores of Democrats desire his success,
that the books kept for a quarter of a
century by office holders in that party,
might be examined by an administra-
ton that would not shield any man
who may have taken advantage of his
position to feather his own nest" or
squander the peoples money. If Ten
nessee is ever set free from the odious
and partisan election laws, passed Ito
disfranchise negroes and poor white
men, and perpetuate Democracy" it
must be done ON State issues.
N tional politics are all right in their
place, but when it comes to matters af-
fecting the tax burdened people of our
State, and the infamous election laws
and ~rascality practiced hereunder,
State issues become paramount to ma
tional questions, and should be so treat
ed in this contest.
Knowing Mr.. Gillenwaters to be the
best equipped man in the State along
this line it gives us pleasure to commend
him to the Republican party Of Ten
nessee as worthy and we'll qualified to
discharge the duties of Governor, when
elected, and as a candidate who will
make the "welkin ring" from johnson
to Shelby, TO the delight of the people
irrespective of party.
We therefore move that Judge w. P.
Gillenwaters, of Hawkins County, be
nominated as the Republican candidate
for Governor, when the State Conven.
ton meets.

were so beautiful in their spring dress
OF green and pink we can hardly keep
back the complaining words, but the
One who sends the sunshine also sends
the ice king and He doeth all things
well; although we IA not understand
his mysteries. We have been on a boom
quite recently. The boys and girls of
our Sunday school gave an entertain
ment a few weeks ago, with proceeds
OF which we had purchased new song
books for our school-num bers five and
six Gospel Hymns. We have carried
on our Sunday school quite successful
ly this winter under the super vision of
Nc Mathes, assisted by Miss Collet. We
can not see any outward manifestations
OF great good yet accomplished, but it
ID only ours to plant and Apollo to
water. 1t seems that politics has been
the subject for most of the letters late
ly, we would like to see some new sub
Jects introduced. We were very much
impressed with the sermon by Rev.
Jasper Howell in the paper OF March
Ia subject the Abuse OF the Tongue
we certainly need more such sermons,
and less practice of the tongue in an
evil way. 1t seems that Satan's allies
have schools for, and the tongue and
pen are often used to mar happy lives,
for the benefits of his majesty. Surely
a man or woman that will thcughtless-
ly spread evil reports concerning a wo-
man should be branded as a theft or
rascal 1t is comparatively an easy
thing for a man to live down these
things, but for a woman to brave the
scorn of the world, knowing she is
falsely judged, is a heavy task. 1t
takes a life time to build a character,
but the slanderer would destroy it in p
moment. There is but small satisfac-
ton in thinking we are not harmed by
the reports of a false friend, how can
we assure ourselves that such and such
a one does not give credence to the
story circulated? And oh, the untold
agony OF imagining the loss of one dear
to us through false, rash opinion;
Shakespeare says, He, who steals nv
purse steals trash; but he who takes
from me my good name, robs me of
that which enriches him not, and makes
me poor indeed" C%annibals show
some little charity and allow their vic
tins to die, then eat them, but the
slanderer waits for no such ceremony
but attack us while we are in full vital
ity and do us up, for the private in
spection and benefit of q few intimates.
The morals OF any one will not be
mended by an indiscriminate circula-
tlon of his faults and a good name is
like Venice glass, quickly cracked,
never to be mended; patched it may
be. BEN AND JOE.

The recent death of Louis Kossuth,
the great Hungarian patriot, calls up a
little circumstance in connection with
his visit to the United States along in
1850 81, during the administration of
Willard Fillmore. Kossuth was invited
to the city of Washington as the guest
of the nation and was entertained at
Wizards Hotel in grand style, run
ming up quite all ~extravagant bill {;
among the items twenty two parlors and
a long list of fine wines and other fine
liquors etc so that when the bill was
sent into Congress for payment there
was "a considerable kick made by those
who believed in the good old doctrine
of Jetfersonian simplicity, and among
that number was our W Andrew
Johnson, the member of Congress from
this district. In 1856 Johnson was
making his second race for Governor of
Tennessee, and on the 18th of July of
that year, he and NJ. P. Gentry spoke
here in Jonesboro-under a locust tree
on your left as you enter the Jonesboro
Graded School, and east of DR.. War
lick's ground among the campaign
charges against Andy was the one that
he had voted to invite Kossuth to
Washington as the nations guest, and
then voted against paying his hotel
bill. Johnson in his reply to this
charge of Gentry's, spoke of Kossuth's
gay unif orm, his red coat, cooked hat,
etc., and the extravaganza of the bill.
1t might here be mentioned that Con-
gress paid the bill in spite of Andy's
opposition to it, and Andy was ~reelec-
ted Governor of Tennessee notwith-
standing his opposition to that just but
exorbitant halter bill. Some e~nterpris-
ing hotel took advantage of Kossuth's
visit to the United States and got up a
neat black hat ornamented with a
black ostrich feather which were all
the go for a time and worn by all the
fashionable young men of that day.

The weather has played havoc with
the fruit crop and has greatly injured
the wheat and winter oat crops of this
section. Everything has a distressed
appearance. There is not a green
spear of anything left standing. To-
day the weather has changed from
crisp cold to almost a spring day and
everybody feels encouraged at the
change. Politics and gossip is the 20
in this section now. You can not hear
anything else. l am informed that
George Stuart claims that he is the
regular nominee of the Republicans of
the county by having the largest mum
Der of votes and will make the race
for Sheriff. | have not seen Mr.. Stu
art since the convention, but l have
this from a reliable source. The mag
istrates election in this district will be
a strong, stubborn fight, from what l
can learn. 1t seeims that there is an
iml Uttered feeling by a small Republi-
can faction against the present nomi-
nees. The sickness of the county is
much improved here lately. Mrs.
Morgan Gray, who was reported SO
badly burned, is up and can do her
work. There is some grip and bad
colds, but nothing of a serious nature.

recent conference at Tuskegee, Ala, of
the colored formers of what is COM
monty known as the ''Black Belt
shows the progress the colored race at
the South is making in personal espon-
sibility aud self independence. About
900 delegates were present. The sub
stance of their action was o concerted
resolution to improve their homes, to
devote greater attention to their farms.
to increase the usefulness of their
schools and lastly TO draw a sharp line
between the depraved and the orderly

a striking reflection ON the nation that

A FAIR SPECIMEN OF CLEVE-
LANDISM.

The financial interests of the country
still remain in the grim shadow of an
impending ruin. The agitation of the
tariff question has spread fear and des-
olation, and the persistent, fool hardy
and wicked attempt to substitute the
Wilson lniquity fol- the Mckinley act
has wrought misery and distress with
out a parallel in the history of this
country, but of this grim shadow the
bony finger of want points to tottered
and furnishing multitudes. In this
land, where God has poured out His
blessing in unstinted measure and the
necessaries of life never were so cheap,
there are penniless and starving house
holds without number. The land is
filled not only with the gloomiest fore
bodings but actual terror. That mons
ter of hidesus crime and remorseless
havoc, the Wilson bill, has already
caused a financial loss greater than the
cost of the a 1t is a vicious onslaught
on the farms, factories, schools and in
dustrial enterprises Of the whole coun-
try. Nothing escapes its deadly touch.
1t is a bold, audacious proposition, an
attempt to degrade our people in their
W estimation, to impoverish labor
and reduce Our wage earners to a level
with the pauper classes of the Old
World. The infamous measure went
through the Lower House with a hip,
hurrah, and ocean flow of specious
Democratic eloquence, but thanks be to
the stars that fight for true American
glory and progress, there is much en-
couragement that the Octopus will be
strangled in the Senate. This un. Ameri-
can doctrine of tearing down home en-
terprises to build up foreign industries
is so repugnant to the intelligence and
patriotism of the country that it has
called forth such a storm of indigna-
Clon and spread such a DISSOLUTION
among the homes of the nation as to
appal the stoutest hearts among Its ad.
%vocates, Cleveland and his coterie of
Bourbon cuckoos excepted. These
statesmen are pressing the infamy upon
the Senate in full view of every pros
trated industry and in defiance of the
appeals and protests Of multiplied thou
sands of idle laborers and naked and
furnishing women and children.

HOPE FOR THE COLORED RACE.

HOPE FOR THE COLOPED RACE.
A great many people affect to Helieve
thatin aspiration, feeling and the com
mon attributes of humanity that the
coloIed race is not far removed from
the lower animals. This class insist
that they have no rights which the
white blooded are bound to respect,
and whatever guarantee of protection
is afforded them is q most p%erilous
menace to the higher forms of citizens
OF civilization and refinement to which
the An~glo-Saxon has attained, and as
they a not be longer employed as
serfs and menials, doing the hardest
and most exhausting drudge ies with
out compensation, they should be de-
ported by the Wholesale to the deserts
and jungles of Africa or TO some other
far off, benighted land where Barbar-
ism is King.
1t is true the race has not fully en-
erged from the Grass ignorance of ante
war times nor been refined from the
%imbruting effects of slavery, yet now
and then we catch a light amid the
shadows of its future which justifies
the be ief that it will yet, in the provi.
dence of God aspire to the higher and
nobler forms of life, and work out q
destiny commensurate with its oppor-
tunities aud mental gifts.

IN RATHER A BAD FIX.

The Treasury of the United States
seems to be in a very much depleted
condition. Secretary Carlisle says SO,
and he ought to know, for he carries
the key to the concern. From his
statements the current expenses of the
Government are greater by millions
than the Treasury receipts. This con
dition never existed during the twenty
four years Of the unbroken supremacy
of the Republican party, when it was
compelled to meet the urgencies of a
great civil war and tide we the diff
culties and decentralization attending
the complete restoration of the Union.
And that, too, after Mr.. Buchanan had
bequeathed the country the barren
legacy of ritled money vaults, under
whose favoring administration every
thing tangible and in sight was
stolen and the crime of secession
was consummated. Secretary Car.
Isle with the true Democratic genius
and instinct for wreck and ruin,
has evolved a plan of temporary relief,
which at once adds fifty millions to
our interest bearing debt. This enor.
nous sum will vanish like a snow flake
in the eye of the sun, and, in less than
no time, he will again be compelled to
throw upon the market bonds by the
million, not to pay obligations already
incurred, but to keep the machinery of
Government in motion. All, this Will
son bill is the Dandy Jim of all of
