new PlFRZ PLATED
Hon. John Stumpf Plats
Portion of Land Near the
New 500 Station

The village of New Pierz will spring
into existence next Monday, when the
board of county commissioners will
undoubtedly approve the plat of the
village made by Surveyor K. J. Batter
for Hon. John Stumpf, owner of the
townsite and adjacent lands. Mr..
Stumpf was in the city Wednesday
and filed the plat with the county
auditor. "
The new village is located where
the 500 line will put in the station,
and First street. in the plat, is about
200 feet from the station. Mr..
Stumpf's residence IS nearby The
townsite is bounded on one side by the
main road to Pierz, on the other by
, the 500 right of way. Mr.. Sumpf has
only plated two blocks and will plat
more when required: Block 1 has
eleven lots, mostly 4Ox1OO feet, with
two larger lots of triangular snap.
First street runs along the right-of-
way. Stumpf street divides blocks 1
and g Several lots have already been
sold. Lot 2 in block has been sold to
Peter Miller, who will have saloon
building. A tract 13Ox190 feet in
block 2 has been sold to the Borgerd-
ing company for an elevator and
lumber yard. The new village is
about a mile and a half from Pierz
church, and is situated in the south
east quarter of section 18, township
40, range 80.
The name Pierz is dear to every
settler of eastern Morrison county, and
Mr. Stumpf felt that it would be pro-
per to further honor the name of the
pioneer missionary who did such noble
work for religion and for civiliza-
ton.

While in St. Paul a few days ago
Hon. NJ. N. Young called at the Office
of the board of control in relation to
the state inebrlate farm. No selection
IS likely to be made for some time.
There IS talk that the board will ask
for new bids. There seems no good
reason for such act, as the first bids
were low, and better bids are not
likely.

NEW ROUND HOUSE, PROBABLY.
A rumor has been current in this

small to house the six to seven engines
which lay up nightly at this place, it

thing to it. However, up to this date

NEGROES FOR PATTERSON.
Independent LeagueF Form
ed atGolumbia and Re-
solutions Adopted.

Columbia, Tenn, August 2s.-The
Maury County Independent League
was organized last night at Odd Eel
lows Hall by some of the leading COL
ored citizens of this place. Among
those present were DIR. T.W. Stephens,
Hon. W. D. Kelly, w. H. Ogleton, A.
j. Armstrong, John Irving, Walter
Irving, Nick Irving, G. W. Brown, J.
@. Gordon, all of whom made brief re-
marks. W. D. Kelly was elected pres
ident and W. II. Ogleton secretary. A
committee on constitution and bylaws
was appointed.
The principal address of the meeting
was made by VIM. A. Crosthwait, Of
Nashville. He took for his theme,
"Civil Difficulties of the Negro and
their Remedies. He declared that the
time had come for independent political
action on the part of the negro. Among
many other things, he said: "The fear
of negro domination, whether found
ed in fact or induced by the dema-
gogue's device to climb to and maintain
himself in power has impedsd the in
dustrial progress of the south, under
mined the moral character of the nation
and placed the life Of the negro in jeop-
ardy. The party to which the negro
had given loyal support for the past 40
years was no Logger party Of high po-
litical ideals, but had degenerated into
a band of booty hunters. There is ab-
solutely no relief to be gained by the
negro's supporting either wing Of the
republican party in the state of Ten
nessee.
"On the other hand, by supporting
Gov. NJ. r. Patterson we at least enter
tain the expectation that he will be
governor of all the people. While he
has made no bid for our vote he is the
most fit candidate for governor Of our
beloved state. He has proved himself
to be statesman of the first rank in
that he loves justice and has the cour-
age to do Justice to all his constituents. "
The speaker declared that it was bet
ter 10 have the friendship OF the gov
ernor of the state than the approval Of
any kind of federal administration at
Washington. He asserted that the
sheriff of Maury county could be Of
more practical benefit to the negroes
here than could the president of the
United States. The organization ther
passed resolution which, in part, is as
follows:
1--WE felicitate ourselves and the com
munity upon the fact that the higher
type of statesmen, such as Gov. M. R
Patterson, is coming to the front in oul
beloved southland"

BROWNLOW DEFENDS
Johnson in Notable Ar
tiCle in Magazine.
STEWARDS 'SATTACK FALSE
Col. Crook, Friend of Lin
coin, Presents Him in
the Same Light.

Congressman W. P. Brownlow, in
the current issue Of the Taylor r-Trot-
wood magazine, has an extended article
on Andrew johnson, beautifully illus
trated and written with that peculiar
charm that has long marked MIR. Brown
lows contributions to literature. It is
most Effective reply to the scurilous
articles which appeared last winter in
the Saturday Evening Posi-, written by
former Senator Stewart of Nevada. 1t
also deals with certain statements made
by Carl SchurZ in his "reminiscences,
published in McClure's magazine and
since appearing in book form.
Mr.. Brownlow shows by testimony
OF contemporaries of Andrew johnson,
drawn from many authoritative sources,
that Senator Stewards statements were
tissue of falsehoods.
1t is coincidence that in the current
issue OF the Century magazine, Col.
Crook, who has been attached to the
White House since he was first placed
there as the personal guard OF Presi-
dent Lincoln, contains the beginning
of series Of articles dealing with
President johnson as he knew him.
Col. Crooks statements are entirely in
accord with those of Mr.. Brownlow and
throw additional light en- the exem-
plary conduct of President johnson
while he was an occupant of the White
House, his great ability as public
speaker, his kindly nature and his
thoughtfulness of others. He also deals
with the bitter fight made on him by
Charles Sumner aud Thad. Stevens.
The concurrent articles by Col. Crook
and Mr.. Brownlow are valuable as his
tory, and promise to do much toward
placing President johnson in proper
light before the American people. He
took the presidency at the most diff
cult period Of American history, and it
is doubtful if even Lincoln himself,
had he lived, would not have been
ground to powder between the upper
and neither millstones of prejudice and
duty. That it was President Lincoln's
purpose to treat the southern states
with equal leniency to that accorded
by President Johnson, is testified to
by those most closely associated with
him.
President johnson attempted to car
ry out Mr.. Lincoln's policy and in
doing so he excited a degree of preju-
dice, provoked malicious hostility in
his own party that cannot be under
, stood by those living at this distance
: from the date of his administration
His reputation, public and private, was
! assailed with greater malice and more
3 vindictive fury than has ever fallen to
. the lot of any public man, before or
since the war.
No one can doubt, had Mr.. Lincoln
8 lived, that he would have incurred the
same kind of opposition, though his
better knowledge of how to handle
men might have made the attacks upon
him less violent Who shall say that
it was not better for Mr.. Lincoln e
4 fame that he perlshed by the bullet oi
an assassin at the time he did?

The statement is sent out from Bris-

stated to a near friend that he would
not be able to make campaign speeches
this year on account of the serious
trouble with his eyes, Otherwise he
is enjoying good health. He will pre-
pare a speech setting forth his views of
the platform and policies of the repub-
lican party and will mail 10000 copies
Of this speech. In this way he hopes
to contribute to the campaign sufficient
to excuse him from a speaking tour.
1t is practically settled that he is to
have no opposition in his present race.
