Mr. Tv a man of energy and ability anil If elected will no doubt discharge the duties of the office to the satisfaction, of his i Thomas Ramey, Esq. Thomas Ramey, a venerable and highly respected citizen of Montgomery! county died on the 27 th of June, 1S78, at his residence in this county where he had lived from ear- lyT boyhood, inj the seventy-third year of.hls He was born In North Carolina In the year 1S05, and to Tennessee with hiB father, Randolph Ramey, In 1814. Thomas Ramey served the people of Mont gomery, with whom he was a great favorite Bust, as constable, for five years, when he was a very young man. Soon thereafter he became a justice of thejeaee, which office he held for twelve years a large portion of which time he was the chairman of; the county court of Montgomery county.

Jn 1854 he was elected sheriff, and served his fulj term of six years as such, and was again elected by the people as sheriff In 1807, continued In office two years and declined a reelection. It will be seen that he was twen ty-five years In the service of the people of Montgomery as constable, sheriff, justice of the peace and chairman of the county court aU important offices, and which he, as conservator of the public peaef, discharged with great ability; and to tlie lentlrej satisfaction of the country. His voice was always raised In behalf of the law and against Vice and crime. His accounts were always straight, and he never was a defaulter. In 1C9, after his last term of office expired, lie retired to pri vate life in the bosom of his family.

He lived the life of an honorable man and died a consistent Christian, and in fuli; commu nlon.with the Methodist Church, of which he had been a member for a great many years. His familiar face will no longer be seen in Clarksville or by his neighbors whom he loved so well, and was so sincereljf beloved by them. Alii of us wi ll do well toj treasure his memory and imitate his virtues. He was truly a good man and, and a devoted Jlriend, aud faithful in every relation of life to his fumily, his country and his God. -s 'I a.

The young men givetheir time and work to this enterprise, which may become of vital importance to us, and inost of them are unable 4o give money also, nor would it bereasonabIe expect it of them. Let us see a well filled subscription list. I Mr. Travers Daniel, who is fetay- lng in Clarksviue, has paidiusa visit. It his purpose to interest the citizens of Clarksville in thelcon- struction of water-works here on such a scale as to secure the citizens a constant supply of pure Tiver water.

Mr. Daniel and the compa ny he represents have constructed water-works at Birmingham, New Albany, Dallas, Texas, and Little Rock, It is 'pro posed that the city shall issue bonds sufficient to retain a controlling in terest in the stock, with which arid with any private subscriptions that may be made, and with the addi tion of capital of their own, they propose to, construct the works. Mr. Daniel says that with siich works as he proposes he could, in addition to supplying water to the citizens up' to the tops of their houses, tlu1iw five heavy streams of water, eajsfi one hundred feet high, by simplyattaching' hose toj the mains without any engine Iri case of fire this Is a mostimportant jnat-ter, and it is an additional consideration that' rates of insurance are always lower in cities thus supplied with water. We commend his proposition to the serious consideration of the citizens aud the corporate authorities.

1 i Clerk and blaster's I'iuancial Re The Cleric and. Master, Polk G. Johnson, filed his financial report on the first: day of the term ofj the Chancery Court. II. O.

Mr. Johnson has jiever failed to make them since his appointment of Clerk and Master in July, 1370 We publish in another column the circular of Judge RiceJ He tells us that he expects to be occupied withjhi3 duties on the Bench to the day of election and that he will -not therefore be able to make a personal canvass any furtherij He appeals to his record, whiehis' a clean one, and we trast it will parry him through.

Judge Rice will be much better employed pu the Bench than his adversaries are on the stUnip, bidding tigainst one anjother for low taxes at the exjense of the public creditor. It has tended to disgrace the, judiciary office this dragging it through the mire of an electioneering campaign, and we should always prefer the candidate, otherT'things being equal, who refuses to do it. As the move in wine-if be canvass has beeri our neutrality, we conclude saying Judge Rice is our crfiididiite.i A-HTTLE girl, daughter of Mrs. Johnson, dress-maker -on Main street; was bitten by a dog on; Monday eyeninglast.

Everybody expected to go and take a basket of provisions.

i our pleasure to attend the farmer's and grange barbecue near Antioch, on the 4th inst. In the very barge crowd there assembled were jnen from the town of Clarksville, New Providence," Palmyra and Collins- ville. Tifey Came from Red river, Yellow creek, Barton's Hurricane and Indian creek; from the counties of Houston, Robertson and Sumner. Farmers, lawyers, doctors, mechanics, preachers and teachers, and of candidates, not a few. I All classes were here, except editors; colors, too, and they came for a variety of purposes; some to see and hear, sorne to talk, jsome to court, some to speak and electioneer, sometodrink and all to eat, and they did eat.

In this large and hetreogeneous crowd ere the bone and sinew, the brain and muscle, and other intelligence of all classes. At 11 o'clock, Prof. A. L. Williams, of Elkton, was introduced, who addressed this large assembly in a style! peculiarly felicitous and happy; not bombastic and as 4th of July efforts usually arej but graceful, easy, fluent and elegant, touching first on some of the elements in the character of a peftple, which conduce to national prosperity, and without which it is utterly impossible.

He next discussed the subject of agri culture, and pointed out the great benefits resulting to those who put brains as well as muscle and energy into the business, and urged upon the farmers to educate well and thoroughly their sons who were destined for the. farm, showing that to insure the highest degree of success, they should I understand chemistry, to analyse soils, ma nures and plants, to know what they extracted from the soil, in their growth, to know how and when! to feed their lands. To understand ornithology and and; entomology to distinguish friends from foes among birds and insects; zoology, to know how to select good animals, and to take care of them. Ini a wbrd it requires more thorough training for successful farmer than for the so-called professiqas. Ilis next inquiry was, what are the farmers doing to protect their interests by organization In this field nothing; was found but the Grange ware house at Clarksville.

He showed that it was managed with ability by the directors and superintendent, leading in amount of, business done and also in prices attainded. At this point Dr. W. A. Shelby interpose the statement that tyie house of Shelby, had beat the Grange hoase in price; that they had sold one hogshead for six- een dollars and fifty cents per hun dred, and had thus led in price by his fraction of fifty cents.

Williams closed his very ible address by saying the Grange varehouse was the enemy of no bouse, did not desire, to be, and jthought it bad policy for others to fight it. It intends doing all it can in a legitimate way; and by its energy and enterprise in inducing other fields to seek Clarksville as a market they were benefitted, our tnerchant and laboring men, our railroads, our; teamsters were all benefitted, and hoped in future they would cease their varefare upon this association. He. alluded to the unparallelled success of the ware-house to substantiate this assertion. I Dinner being announced, all repaired to.

the table, where, under the able management of the prince of cooks, at a pit, John Turner, and his able assistants, J. W. Attaway, Steward, and James Swift, Captain of i Police, this unexpectedly large crowd was amply supplied with the very? best barbecued and best seasoned meats it has been our privilege to enjoy. After dinner the crowd again repaired to the stand, and at the urgent request of Prof. Williams gave a short address on the subject of Sunday Schools.

To us this was the treat of the day, Instead of going into history of this enterprise, he dwelt upon thegreat cardinal doctrines of Christianity as" the one theme and good to be thought upon, to be acted upon, and iustilled into the minds and heart of the young generation imbueing them with principle so strong as to make them the ruling incentive to action in all time toj comej in all transactions, making every thing succumb to principle. He drew from history many, shining examples to prove this had been done i by parents of former ages, and urged mothers and fathers to leave their children a heritago of blessed memories and noble examples as fair better than the wealth of the world, and the Sunday School was the place to do it. All went away satisfied that they had never been better entertained, mentally and physically, I. j-' 1 Observer! jl We very gladly give place to the above racy communication, at the same time we must not be understood as taking sides in the contro versy between the Grange and the other warehouses; if there be any controversy beyond' the le gitimate competition of trade our columns are open to statements on both sides, and let the trutl. pre vail.

To the People on the 10th Judicial Circuit Vi Fellow-Citizens: I am a can didate for re-electjion the position of Judge of this Judicial Circuit. In presenting piyself again as a candidate for your suffrages, I de-? sire to return to ou my sincere and heart-felt thanks! for the generous have received at support wbich I your hands in the) past, Whilst I have had! the honor of a seat upon the bench, I have endeav ored, honestly an tl conscientiously, to discharge the duteis of the responsible station without fear, favor, or affection. Should you again honor me with yjour confidence, I promise you thati 1 shnll endeavor in the future, as have in the past, a 1 1 1 i i ir 10 noiu, tne 01 jumiicc witii firm and impartial hand, arid administer the law iri its purity! to all classes and conditions of men who mav come before me.

I shall not attempt to reach the high position by an appeal to partisan feelings or political prejudices. As a Judge, I shall be called 011 to preside over the rights of the persons of all parties, and shall endeavor toj do so free from any political bias whatever. i J-; Havine had a lliard struggle in the battle of life, no one can charge me, and charge; m0 truthfully, with a want of sympathy with the masses of the people, or a desire to see them loaded with heayy burthens. I know what it is to bear heavy burdens, for I bear them now and have borne them all myiiie, uoa Knows if it were in myj power, I would lighten every man's burden, from the highest to the lowest. I am now engaged in holding my courts, and shall, all probability be so employed: up to tne very uay of the election.

Iishall thus be deprived of the pleasure of mingling as extensively and( freely with the people as I woulp otherwise do. But I feel confident- that, while engaged iri the conscientious discharge of my public duties, the people will not forget me or sutler my interests to be neglected, though I am de barred the privilege of mingling with and taking them by the hand. I am now considerably past the meridian of life, arid am getting too far advanced in years to hope to re sume with vigorous activity tne practice of the law; which I gave up to assume the duties of the bench. To return to the successful nractice of the law at my age could not be reasonably expected by me. 1 trust that tnis eonsiueraiiou win arouse the zeal of my personal friends into that active and generous effort in my behalf for which I have much to be thankful for them in the past.

In the of the manifold duties of Circii it Judge, sometimes most disagreeabfc, often perplexing, I do notclaim toiavebeen free from errqr, but this much Ido claim, that my whole judical lift? has been free from intentional error. To my friends and the generous people who have heretofore honored me with their support, I submit my case, with a renewed pledge that if elected 1 will enaeavor uiscnage the duties of my office to the best of my ability with fairness and impar tiality, i Respectfully, your obedient servant, James L.
