The hot is our farmers rarely fail to raise a surplus of corn heat and stock the small tobacco crops which many of them cultivate only 'doing to their income The mortgage system does not prevail to any great extent among us Occssionall3a misfortune or bad management forces the farmer to mortgage his tobacco crop to the merchant for groceries or other merchandise furnlahed him but this is the emotion rather than the rule Perhaps not one out of fifty has ibis to do "All through the Upper Cumberland section" says your correspondent "the women and children are seen at work on them slovenly farme generally pale ill shaped epechnens of humanity passiog their lives In buildines of the rudest kind" Nothing could be further from the truth than the above statement In personal appearance the people of this section will sixmpare favorably with those of any rural cunmunity in the State The houses in which they live are comfortsble and frequently commodious and elegant All over the country neat frame buildings are rapidly replacing the old log housm of our fathers the old rail fences are gritdually disappearing new ones of plank stone or barbed wire taking their places improved farming implements are being introduced churchts and school-housts are constantly increasing in number the country roads are kept in a better state of repair and everywhere indications of progress and improvement are plainly to be seen We are now prepared to fill any demand for Mosquito Bars either of English or American Netting Our Bars are all made LAW DEPARTMENT Two Prefeaaors Lectures begin Oct Session nine months For catalogue apply fato JtiE tr HARM-tau 101 Chairman of the Faculty!

coonterfell money The first letter says that no advance money is an answer After this answer the slick artists make more plain their real object and state that for a certain sum they will send a

Faatecteco Aug 20 is reported that the British ship Haddingdonshire from Astoria Oregon for Liverpool with a cargo of dour and salmon is ashore off Point Reyes forty miles north of this port It is also said that eighteen lives were lost The Merchants' Excharge has just received the following particulars cf the loss of the ship Haddinkdonshire The vessel left Astoriag July 6 got down as far as the equator when she struck a heavy gale which so disabled her as to oblige the Captain to put back to San Francieco f4r repairs In that gale she lost four seamen and her chronometer When off this port last night she encountered a dense fog and while groping about ran on the rocks near Point Reyes at 3 o'clock this morning The vessel's cargo is a total wreck All aboard except one sailor and the cabin boy were drowned The cargo consisted of 12000 barrels of flour valued at $50000 and 17700 cases of salmon valued at $54000 The Baddingdonshire was a new iron vessel launched at Glasgow October 1884 owned by A Shepherd of Oleo TO-DA T'S ISAMILL Birmingham at Nashville' Macon at Atlanta Aligns it Chattanooga Columbus at Memphis During the present week the Nash-have won three straighta off of Columbus one of the heaviest slugging team In the fputh During the three gamed the locals mole twenty-nine runs while their visitors made only cii In the me games the locals made' forts one hit with a total of fifty-four bases and eight errors while Columbus made fourteen hite with a total of twenty bases and seventeen errors In the three games Neshville's pitcheri struck out twenty-four men while Donnelly Clatk and Smith the three oppming boxmen struck out only six in all From these figures the comparative strength of the two teams may be eitimated Yesterday 1 the visitors put in the box their new man Smith He pitched only an ordinary game but was probably some what embaraesed by his first effort He seems to be well up in the tine points of the game and may prove one of the strong pitchers of the league The locals did excellent work though handicapped by the absence of their regular captain Beard The lat ter's place was excellently filled by Tony Hellman who had six chancea offered to him and actepted them all without an-error Taylor did fine work and up to the sixth inning prevented the visitors from getting a hit There was considerable kicking as to whether or not Taylor got out of the box to ptch In all of these disputes Taylor seemed to run things with a high hsni and pretty much as he pleased his decisions seem-log to settle things The pitcher's box should be filled in and well marked and then if a pitcher step outside the limit the penalty of the rules should be enforced upm him by the umpire Sneed led the batting for the locals biting Smith for a couple of hot two-baggers There was not one of the locals now-ever but drove home Smith's delivery for one or more hits The following is the sooret's record of the game: NAMMLLIL A 30 A Sowders lb-- 5 1 1 8 0 1

Mr Grady president of the Southern Leauge is editor and one of the proprietors: 4-Tnis NASHVILLe AMERICAN elks the president of she league taste whether or not he believes that the game between the Nashville and Atlanta in Atlanta was decided on its merits In regard to this the president of the league says: 'I do believe that the game was a fair one and that it was decided on its anal The Nashville were simply and squarely outplayed and the spectators will bear this statement oak I don't believe that Manager Mayberry himself will state that the game was un fair and that the Atlantas didn't win it its ts merits I brought Cartwright to Atlanta to umpire the games with Nash-because he was Nashville's favorite and because Manager Mayberry and the Nashville publicand press had frequently asked for Cartwright to umpire their games I gave them their favorite umpire and did it in opposition to the wishes of the Atlanta directors In addition to this he was the only umpire 4-against whom no protest had ever been madefaad his umpiring was fair and impartial in my opinion' The prod dent of the league went on to say THI AMERICAN curiously complains that the umpires are dependeit for their-positions upon the president of the lesgue Tim Animax must know that this is not true It must know that long ago the president stated positively that be would not discharge an umpire nor would he select one But that the selection of umpires as well as their release must be done by the clubs themselves He stated positively that an um pire would remain in position until three had formally protested him and that hie successor would be elected by the cubs Consequently the umpires do not depend for their position upon the President who has no power what 4 ever over them except to assign them to work He has voluntarily and publicly surrendered every other power and the umpires know this and THIS NASHTIILII AMIRICAN knows It too r'You may say further' said the President of the League 'that Atlanta has never voted on an umpire She prefers to leave the selection to the other clubs She has Beier protested an umpire While she feels that injustice has often been done her she has felt that it was childish to lay her defeats to umpiring Instead of complaining she boa gone to work to retrieve her losses Now THE AMZEICAN 'should in justice to all concerned publish what is id herewith Nash' villa has a good club 4' Manager May berry is a gentleman Of high character The players are pleasantand competent and the public of Nashville le proud of the loam that represents the city They are naturally sore over a defeat taken at a critical point of the championship race but this should not lead them to do in Justice to others' Atlanta outplayed Nashville in Friday's game and won the game on its merits We believe that Manager Mayberry and the Nashville players will testify this much An analysis of the score shows that the At Janus made nine bitswhile the Nashville only made six and the Nashville made seven errors while the Atlantar only made two There is no answer to Tag AnklutiAir tikes pleasure "in jos ties to all publishing the 'above Mr Grady has made the state- requested by THIS ANZRICAN and It will meet with ready acceptant In the course of his remarks however Mr Grady has taken occasion to attack the statements made in the same Janie Of Tne Ammucas on the subject of the present umpiring system Mr Grady as his statements and the testimony of many others among them Munger Mayberry will establish as now using his own individual efforis to secure fair and equam ball in the South For this he deeerves the thanks of a large and inter': sated public) The methods adopted by him for securing: and releasing umpires may he good enough but the players and the public generally know that the rules of the league did by him for securing end re- leasing umpires may be good enough but the PleYere and tho public generally kcal that the rules of the butane did REDUCTION CRILIMPAITES A Fut)ious Ride on a Railroad Train Courier des Wats I arrived at the station at the appointed hour I entered or rather was thrown by an attendant into the car nearest to me The door was quickly shut The whistleLas blown and we were off Curiously enough the car was tot crowded I formed the fifth passenger Two of the corners were occupied one by an officer and the other by a civilian Facing me was a woman about 30 years oldt neatly and modebtly dressed and beside her sat the most beautiful little child I ever little girl about a year old with a flood of blonde curls waving under her immense straw hat Now and then the child would look through the window in the direction of tt engine and then her eyes seemed to wander in the infinite space that was unrolling itself before her We came to a station The tiain stopped The little girl put her face to the window "I don't see him" Then suddenly her face brightened and her eyes lit with golden hues shining with indescribable joy while her lips came down upon two hands that came from the exterior and were placed upon the frame of the opened window "Ah papa Here is papa!" exclaimed my little neighbor with the exuberant and innocent joy of her six years It was the engineer of our train who had come to speak to his little daughter and his wife who were seated in front of me "We are going very fastsaid the woman "We must make up for lost time" replied the man "Were you afraid Jeanne?" "No" said the child "because I knew that you were driving" "Well by-by" said the man as he left "Well by-by papa" said the child throwing herself into his arms The train started and gradually reached an extraordinary speed I worship children and I began to examine the little one in front of me She was full of life and good humor She amused herself with everything and nothing cajoling with her mother inquisitive with the window and severe with her doll She was carrying on a thousand conversations all at once and with a noise that was almost deafening when suddenly the gentleman in the other corner exclaimed "Decidedly we are going too fast The train will surely run off the track" "Oh don't be afraid" said the child seriously "papa is driving" The officer was reading He looked out of the window and then resumed his reading without making any observation The other gentleman again began to talk "This is certainly madness" said he "Yes madam" he continued addressing the lady "your husband is either drunk or crazy" "Oh sir" said the lady "my husband never gets drunk You saw him a little while ago Certainly the train is going at a furious rate I don't 1112- derstand The refficer closed his book and stretched himself along the seat "I would advise you all to do the same" said he with the greatest coolness "If you keep seated your legs will be smashed Remember the Versailles accident" Certainly the train was running at a terrifying rate What in the world could the engineer mean by such driving? "I am afraid said the citizen white with terror Then the officer took me aside "Here is my name and address" said he "If I am killed or mortally wounded in the accident to which we are running and you escape promise me now that you will carry these dispatches without a moment's delay to the general whose name you will find by opening this enveiope I promised The woman took the child in her arms and covered her little face with tears and kisses She seemed to wish to make a rampart of herself to protect the little one against the frightful smash-up that was momentarily expected "I am not afraid" said the child smilingly "papa is driving" And she alone among the passengers of the car and doubtless she alone among all on board the train had faith and confidence We could hear in the other cars cries of terror and wailings of despair and in spits of the mother the child leaned out of the window in the back door and shouted out with all the force of her little lungs: "Don't be afraid papa is driving" Ah!
