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

. 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

than their company. Unless this
business is checked, "something is
eroinc to happen," says tho Nash
ville Banner.

made. Meanwhile preparations f or
possible war are progressing.

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.
