up by internal combustion.
Fifty thousaud dollars is said to
bo tho price AV. C. Jones k Co., oi

corn-fed cattlo last week. Terry k
Lester, of Nashville, were the pur
chasers. An enthusiastic nieetinp: of tho

waa held at llumboldt last Friday.
It is learned that every county in
the Ninth and Tenth Congressional
districts and four counties in tho
Eighth District wero present, and
thorough organization for aggres-
, sive campaign work waa etloctcu.
Yesterday was St. Patrick's Day,
: an event observed by tho sons of
Erin's Isle, and, as Judgo East re-
' marks, "it has a great deal to do
with tho snakes that wero driven
from tho island." Possibly they
, all landed on this continent, as it is
. no unusual thing for certain species
of tho American manhood at times
to seo snakes.
. Mormon missionaries are making
themselves very obnoxious in many
counties m Middle lennesseo by
imposing on tho hospitality of the
people. They go to a house with
out being invited, even when they
have been given to understand that
their room is more to bo desired
than their company. Unless this
business is checked, "something is
eroinc to happen," says tho Nash
ville Banner.
The latest AVashington dispatches
gives the opinion now prevailing in
. administration circles, and tho idea
prevails that all depends on Spain
ns to whether it shall bo peaco or
war. Spain must accept changed
conditions in Cuba, and grant to tho
j island freedom or a degree of free
dom. Spain plainly intimates that
site is not seeking trouble with this
. government. Tho United States
; court of inquiry left Havana for
Key AVest Tuesday night, but it is
. not know when their report will bo
made. Meanwhile preparations f or
possible war are progressing.
News comes from Henry County
that a spirited campaign will soon
be inaugurated for the Democratic

sented this floterial district four
years ago, is a candidate, and his
. many friends in Benton County aro
watching tho contest, and will await
the result with more than ordinary
interest Ho possesses overy qual-
ification necessary to till tho high
position to which ho aspires; born,
reared and educated in that county,
he knows every need of the people
- of old Henry, and his experience
. also tits him, iu every sense, for leg-
ietativo .work.

Tho movement to organise a mil
itary company here ha3 suddeuly
collapsed. Of course tho prospect
of war between the United States

it. The boys can not really spare
the time for drill work just at this
season, but perhaps later on, when
they havo more time at their dis
posal, they may organise n strong
company. Ye editor would not ob
ject to a pension, but wo certainly
object to war on general principles.

Knob, in the tenth district, and i'.
occurred to them while going tu

a view from the top of that amou:".
peak, and preceded to do r.o with
out fear or guU. At Evr. they
related to friends their trip and ob
servations. They were t,iKstioned
by those familiar with the knob and
its surroundings, and then gently
informed that they had passed the
time away on a hill 2 miles from
not Knob and h a mile f.cniLva.
Tho boys have not taken .no into
their confidence, but no doubt they
will fcook tho aid of a good guide m
tho future when on an exploring
expedition.
