SMALL CHANGE Mr. Kestner has some peach trees, set out lust spring, which have ripe peaches on them now. Mr. Cantwell has the finest young peach orchard we have seen, with the biggest and best peaches on them. The first new wheat was brought in last Saturday to Turner's mill by Mr. Edwards, of theShiloh neighborhood. Hon. J. D. C. Atkins haa our thanks for a copy of his powerful and logical speech on the tariff commis sion. Our millers are all happy in antici pation of a big rush of new wheat in the next few days. So are the eatiug public. Read the large advertisement in an other column of Tatum, Sims & Co., try their preparation and preserve your fruit. Bob. Gates's Tribune and Sun calls the Exchange a windmill. If that charge be true, his paper must be a full-grown cyclone. The C, St. L. & N. O. road has prohibited the sale of the Police News Gazette on its trains, for which it Kill be commended by all decent citizens. The City Meat Market has been bought by the Messrs. Shepherd, will have a fine herd of fat cattle, and who keep plenty in the market at all times. Work on Mr. Collins's new resi dence is progressing at a good rate. The brick masons will finish in a week or two, so that the carpenters can be gin to make a show. Large quantities of peaches, apples and plums are be ing shipped daily from here. It has increased to such an extent that the Express company is overrun, and much of it is shipped by fast freight. Changes of time are occurring on the L. &N. road so frequently of late thai we can hardly keep up with them. It is thought other changes will take place in the next week or two on both roads, when we will cor rect our time table again. A horse attached to Edwards & Shepherd's delivery wagon ran away Wednesday morning and jumped off the bridge on Main street, near Alder man Taylor's residence, damaging the wagon seriously, but not hurting the horse. George, the driver, jumped just in time to sitve himself. Instead of winning second honors in the State Normal College, as we stuted last week, Mr. Priestly Man ning won first hoiifo:!, and the second medal for scholarship and excellence in an essay on au educational topic. It is indeed a high honor, and we are proud of our Gibson county boy. There are large fortunes in fruit and vegetable growing around Milan if managed judiciously. We believe all growers are making money this year, and much of the fruit shipped is so green that our home people wouldn't have accepted it as a gift a few years since. 'Die Baptist church here last Sun day elected the llev. J. E- Eoff, of Somerville, for their pastor. He haa made a fine impression on thatcougre gntion, and we hope he will be instru mental in doing much good, not only for his own people, but for the whole community. We have in our oflice a sample of Fultz wheat from the farm of John McMinn, six miles south of here. It was raised on old land and consists of sixty-two stalks, all sprouted from one grain. The heads will average about fifty grains each, thus showing thirty- one hundred grains from one. And yet some'people s;iy this is not a wheat country. GIBSON DEMOCRACY. A Large and Somewhat Disorderly Convention Last Monday. Against 60-3, 4, 5, 6 and In Faror of 83-8 to 50-8 and Marks. The democrats of this county met in convention last Monday in Trenton, and were called to order by R Z. Tay lor, chairman of the county democrat ic executive committee, when Hon. J. M. Coulter was elected temporary chairman. Committees on organiza tion and the basis of representation were appointed. After conferring, the committee on organization recommen ded John S. Cooper, Esq, for perma nent chairman and the county demo cratic editors for secretaries, which was adopted. The committee on the basis of rep resentation recommended that each district be allowed one vote for each fifty votes polled for HancocK and one for fractions of twenty-five or more. The following gentleman were ap pointed as a committee on resolutions: J H Hamilton, C II Ferrill, J P Wade, Dr. T J Happel, E R Vaughn, J T Curtis, V L Ware, J N Alexan der, H D Harper. H C Burnet, J F Penn, J C Atkins, W J Davidson. During the absence of the commit- mittee, Hon. J. M. Coulter made a speech, giving an account of his stew ardship in the Legislature and urging harmony in the rauks. The reading of the resolutions was the signal for the battle to begin. The state credit men were not at all pleased with them, and offered numer ous amendatory and compromise reso lutions, ranging from 50-4 to 60-6, but all of them were promptly and noisily tabled by large majorities. The 50-4 amendment we thought at one time would carry, but considera ble feeling had been aroused, and the result was eigbteeu for and twenty- six against it. PREAMBLE AND RESOLUTIONS. We the Democracy of Gibson Coun ty, in convention assembled, declare our allegiance to the the time-honored principles as essential to the preserva tion of our liberties, the perpetuation of our free institutions, and our free government. We declare our opposition to class legislation, monopolies of all kinds and centralization. We affirm our disapproval and op position to the act of the Legislature funding the State debt at 60-6, believ ing that the same was unwise and un just, that it was passed in direct oppo sition and disregard ot the expressed will and sentiment of the people; and that the same does not meet the equi ties the people have in said debt, aud which have beeu recognized by the bondholders; and that said act was a scheme resorted to by the leaders of the Republican party for the purpose ot dividing the Uemocratic party aud not out of an honest desire to settle the debt. We greatly desire the unity and harmony ot the Democratic party, be lieving that it is of the utmost impor tance to the good and well being of our state, the prosperity and happi ness of the people. We are opposed to repudiation, and greatly desire to see the State debt settled on reasona ble and honorable terms and the vexed and harrassing question forever at rest, 'therefore resolved. 1. That we favor a settlement of the State debt at from 33 1-3 to 50 cents on the dollar with 3 per cent in terest, the bonds not to run more than thirty years, redeemable and payable at the option ot the Mate. 2. That our delegates to the State convention be aud are hereby instruct ed to secure if possible by all reasona ble concessions the unity and harmo ny of the Democratic party, aud that they be aud are hereby instructed to first advocate in said convention a set tlement of the State debt ut the fig ures set out iu the first resolution, and in no case to exceed 50-3; aud they are further instructed to abide by the result of said convention, reogfliziug the right of the majority to control in such matters. 3. That our delegates to the State convention shall insist upon a clear and practical statement of the views and intentions of the Democratic par ty setting forth in the platform plain ly and without equivocation the set tlement they are willing to make with the bondholders. 4. That the delegates alone who at tend the convention at Nashville shall have the right to represent and cast the vote of Gibson county, and no delegate shall have the right to repre sent another as proxy. The Convention appointed the fol lowing delegates to the Nashville Convention to meet on the 20th of district E M Witt and W M Senter. Third district C II Ferrell, J H Koffman. J F Rawlins, W I McKar land, II T Johnson and E D Peete. Fifth district J P Wade. Sixth district V M L Taylor, T C Patterson and J C Givens.

The committee appointed to select delegates for districts unrepresented made the following report: Your committee of five appointed to select delegates to fill out the dele gation for the districts unrepresented in the County Convention appoint the following persons to represent in the State Convention: Districts, 1,4, 10, 11, 12, 15, 17, 22, 25 B R Fob, ter, Esq., W A Elam, George baileyt Cas Rtigan, John W Howell, John R Carroll, Cr J O Moore, L W Jones, William Cook, Esq., G M Hobkius, Esq,, George Robertson, L VFr. zier, Dr. Moore, Sr., W S Cratton, J C Gibbs, E T Ward, William Matthis, W R Duncan, Esq., and W R Tyson.
