Politics in .Tennessee.
The Radical party is divided, the

leadership of Browidow denouncing
the civil rights bill. The negroes

We urge upon the Dbni rtjrats, es-'
pecially of this county, the importance
of qnity and organization. It is well
known that the white minions of soc-
cial equality and their negro superiors
have been organizing actively and ag
itating the passions of'the negro vo
ters. If every Democrat in every-.mil-

odist Church was used, but on that
day and Sunday, all thiN chnrehes in
the town were used, and throughout
the meeting while* we remained the
congregations ware large, attentive
and serious.
Too much cannot be said in praise
of the hospitality and liberality of the
good people of Hawkinsville. All the
church people of- every denomination
and all the outsiders in a word, the
ces to t hose . in ‘ attendance. Their
houses and hearts were liberally open
ed to us,and every one was amply and
comfortably provided for. Never will
we and our chum forget the pleasant
home we found at the resilience of Mr
J. S. W. Though we remained bnt
four days, when ive left, it seemed as
if we were breaking up the pleasant
associations of years..
Hawkinsville has improved a gia t
d-al of late years. It is now a thriv
ing tqwu of 2,000 inhabitants, and;
bears more signs of prosperity than
any-little place of which we know.
The crops about- Hawkinsville are
said to be good. We went there in a
buggy through the country, and near
ly every farm looked well. There
seemed.to be much more corn in cvlti-
vatipn"than cotton, and both are com
paratively free from grass, and promise
a good yield. So mote it be!
