ACorrection.

Last week, in speaking OF Mr.. Finch s
announcement for Sheriff we stated that
he had begun to serve his second term
when forced to resign on account of his
wife's illness. This was mistake.
Mr. Finch did not make the race for
the second term, but declined to do so
on account Of his wife's health. He
therefore served one term and now
comes before the people for endorse
ment. We regret making the error.
Mr.. Finch is one OF the best officers
the county ever had He is also a
good man and good citizen, and is
entering the race with the best encour-
agement. We trust that this matter
will be properly understood.

A recent test was made of ten hogs

hundred and sold them January 81 at

State Treasurer.

g. T. Taylor, for thirteen years post
master at Union City and leading poll
tician Of this end Of the State, a Brown
los Republican, has been elected State
Treasurer and Insurance Commissioner.
Mr.. Taylor's election was surprise to
almost everybody. However he was in
the city last week and felt confident that
his chances we're good for election Mr..
Taylor was in Nashville getting behind
his friend, Jesse Littleton. for the
United States Senate, and while there
he was quietly putting up some fences
on his own account. There are few
men in politics who can see an opening
any quicker than the Colonel and then
there are few who know better how to
manage the landing Of the plum. Mr..
Taylor's election gives many Of his
home people great deal Of pleasure,
and, as far as we can learn, general
satisfaction Colonel Taylor is not only
yersed in politics, but he is man OF
ability and will no doubt make the State
good officer.

TRENTON AFFAIRS.
Ex-Sherif D. w. Dickson. Of Glib
son County. Assassinated.

Trenton, Tenn, Jan. 31.-Trenton
was deeply stirred last night when ex-
sheriff d. w. Dickson. who is night
policeman, was shot down and almost
instantly killed by some unknown party
near the Trenton steam laundry on
Church street. The shooting occurred
about 1890 O'Clock. Five shots were
fired by the party doing the shooting,
one taking effect, entering the body
just above the left nipple and extending
downward, entered the heart, causing
almost instant death.
At the coroner's inquest Nellie Mar
shall, negress, swore that she was dis
turbed by Floyd Parr, Boss Mahon and
Tazell Moore, who we're drunk, and she
called for officer Dickson. When Dick
son reached the house he found the
parties gone and after waiting little
while came toward town. It is thought
he was waylaid and struggle occurred
between the officer and one of the par
ties, as his hand was powder burnt and
fingers drawn. Nellie Marshall swore
that Mahon had an automatic pistol
and the ball extracted was steel bullet
from 80 caliber automatic. The
shooting caused intense excitement and
soon big crowd gathered
Dickson was first found by Officer
Jim Hall, who found him speechless
He was taken to store and then to
his home Sheriff Reed and others
notified parties in all sections to keep
watch for the murderers. Floyd Parr
and Tazel Moore were arrested last night
and the officers are in search of Boss
Mahon, who it is thought did the shoot
ing, but has not yet been arrested.
d. w. Dickson was one Trenton's
most prominent citizens. He was sher-
iff Of the county for three terms, and
was brave, fearless officer. As cit
izen he was highly esteemed and his
death is much lamented. He was a
Mason and member of the w. o. w.
fraternity. He leaves wife, three
sons, Clyde, Turny and Ira Dickson.
The burial occurred at Oakland ceme-
terry this afternoon, conducted by the
Masonic fraternity.

The Corporation Lines.

Quite a considerable amount Of inter-
est has been aroused in the question Of
changing the corporate lines Of Union
City. A few weeks ago ]. B. Waddell
and few OF the citizens Just on the
outside Of the lines 10 the north Of I'M
ion City made an informal request Of
some Of the board to bring the ques-
ton before that body, with the purpose
in view Of petitioning the board to ex-
tend the lines 50 as to include the prop
erty Of petitioners, the object OF which
was to secure the advantages Of the city
schools.
Last Saturday members Of the board,
accompanied by General Caldwell, made
a circuit Of the city for the purpose OF
making personal inspection Of the
boundaries. Two lines were consid-
cred The most generally approved
boundary discussed took ia w. E. Pow
ell's, J. P. Morris and a number Of
new homes to the southwest, the Rogers
addition to the south, Arthur Tits
worths and a number Of places to the
east, and to the north, beginning with
the Adams property, including the
Miles addition and Seid Waddell's res
idence and running north of Todd
street about $50 feet Another, con-
sidered somewhat unreasonable by
many, was the same on the west, south
and east, but extended much farther
northT taking in much OF r. P. White
sells land and large portion Of Her
man Dietzel's land to the northwest.
This line was hardly to be considered
seriously, but the other was advocated
by large number Of the people Of I'm
ion City on both sides OF the limits.
The board held a caucus Wednesday
and it was thought that an agreement
on the extension could be reached, but
the caucus adjourned without action.
No agreement could be reached, in fact
il was thought that the whole PROPOSE
ton had been practically killed
II the petitioners will come to the
meeting Of the board next Tuesday
night with written petition properly
drafted and with good representation
this question may be settled equitabIy,
otherwise the whole thing may be lost.
There are lots Of good citizens on the
outside Of the limits who want our
schools, and they should not be denied
the privilege if their property can be
taken in the city lines on a reasonable
basis.

Travelling Statesmen.

Col Henry Mayors, Of st. Louis, and
Mr.. Ohio Beck, Of this city, have been
rendered positions with the Canvas De-
coy Co., manufacturers Of decoy ducks
and waterproof garments, as travelling
statesmen, and these gentlemen have
signed with the company for that work.
The company has been manufacturing
and selling decoy ducks for a number
OF years and that branch Of the business
devoted TO the manufacture of garments
has been in operation for several months
and is now ready for market The new
branch promises to be comparatively
much more important part Of the BUSH
ness, in fact the opportunities are cal
culated to be unlimited for that kind OF
trade. The statesmen just engaged will
be the right men in the right places to
introduce the goods, and are in every
way suited for the business. So far as
known there is no competition for these
goods, and when the factory is under
full swing and the business matured
to a systematic basis the probabilities
are that it will be one OF the leading
manufacturing concerns Of the South.

A Little More Politics.

The Lower House Of Congress has by
well defined majority voted in favor
OF the Panama Exposition location at
San Francisco. This looks very much
TO us like an unreasonable proposition,
but while this is so, the Southern menu
bers as unit voted in favor of New
Orleans. More than likely there was
q great deal Of partisan feeling in it.
Politics are more or less influenced these
days by partisan interests. It is also
probable that the late election had
something to do with it. There are
some mighty powerful interests in the
big Western roads and they are not in
a very good humor over the late cleo
tons. There is very little question on
earth about the advantages in having
this Exposition at New Orleans, but il
the politicians of the country are going
to keep eyerlastingly allowing their
RANjubi0NS w tiiHtCiiCt llcul III ueCiu-
ing important questions there is moth

the meantime the railroads have turned
their backs on the newspapers. They
said to Congress in making the Inter-
state Commerce law to cut out the
newspaper people-prohibit them from
making contracts for advertising, and it
was done. That killed the jamestown
Exposition, and If they are not liberal
with advertising money it will kill all
the big expositions, especially the Pana-
ma show, way out in California, where
the walking is not very good There
will be very few press notices for the
big coast show There will be very lit
