FREE TRADE
Between the United States and Por-
to Rico Proclaimed.

WASHINGTON, July 2S.-Free trade
between the United States and Por-
to Rico was proclaimed yesterday.
Two proclamations were issued,
the first declaring the establish
ment of civil government in Porto
Rico, and the second the establish
ment of free trade between the
United States and the island.
Although civil government has
existed for many months in Porto
Rico, Gov. Allen, up to the time he
went to Canton on Sunday, pur-
posely withheld the formal notifica-
ton of that fact from the President
in order that the moneys collected
under the Foraker Act might not
be placed at the disposal of the
Porto Rico Legislature, but could
continue to be used for the benefit
OF the island under the direction of
the President. The effect of an
earlier notification would have been
a proclamation by the President
recognizing the establishment Of
civil government and the turning
over to the insular government. for
the use of the legislature, of all
moneys thereafter collected under
the Foraker Act.

Candidate for Circuit Judge.

News comes from Dresden that
members of the bar are urging
n. e. Maiden to become a candl-
date for Circuit Judge in the Four
tenth Judicial Circuit, which,
when the redistricting act of the
Assembly OF 1899 goes into effect,
will be composed of the counties of
Weakley, Obion, Lake. Dyer,
Lauderdale, Upton and Fayette.
Mr.. Maiden has not yet made for
NAL reply, but it is generally under
stood that he will enter the race.
The only other probable candidate
mentioned is Judge Flippin, of
Fayette County, who is at present
Judge of the Tenth Circuit. He
has made no announcement of his
intentions as yet, and many think
that in view of his age and the
heavy work that will devolve upon
the Judge of circuit composed of
seven counties, he will not enter the
contest. He has been on the bench
for thirty-two years.

Delights Of The Country.

love the country. All our push
ing, aggressive great men come
from the country and leave it pleas
ant. OF course, the country has its
disadvantages. If you want any
thing in the country you will not
get it. For instance, the first thing
you will want if you get to the
country on lonely day will be to
get out of it. You can hardly
escape. The railroad is far away
and the time table shows that all
the magnificent trains on the cele-
brated Buffet route stop at your
station at an hour marked O..
For practical purposes OF transpor-
tation you might as we'll trade your
time table for an astronomical al.
manac and study the perlgees of
the moon. 1t is only the Podville
accommodation that stops at your
station, and that stops at Sill a. m.
In the rural minds railroads are al
ways associated with lack of sleep.
1t is certainly bad sign to want
anything in the country. If you
want some collars you will get a
wierd pattern that you remember
J having seen in a former life. If
you want tobacco you will get tan
bark and molasses. If you ask the
storekeeper for writing paper he
will gracefully hand out one sheet
of paper and one envelope. The
paper will be the blue line note,
which was a new wrinkle in the
Egyptian court when the populace
was still writing love letters on
bricks. If you want anything else
Except, of course, rubber boots,
pearl cuff buttons, hickory dress
shirts and mastodon overalls) you
will not get it at all.
A beautiful thing about the
country is that no one knows what
time it is. They do not even know
what time it will be. Excepting
the hired man, no one cares. Is it
not strange that amidst the general
Indifference the hired man, like the
rapt aud worldfree astronomer
maintains his constant interest in
the exact admeasurement of time?
You can tell a hired man in the
country by the ease aud finish with
which he traverses his head upon
his neck in taking observations of
the sun. of course the people keep
clocks and wind them, and all that,
but it is mere empty torn and
ritual. They eat when meals are
ready, 60 TO bed when they prefer
it to staying up, and when it comes
to nice calculations of time in TAX
ing the PodviIle accommodation
they simply pull themselves out Of
bed at the earlist hour of the night,
feed the horses by lantern, get a
bully hot breakfast, hoist Sin the
trunks, grab valisc, kiss every
body all around and ride away,
hollering back good-by in the
! twilight. Puck
