We are authorized to announce the
tiame of 8. M. Tor bolt, of Cole City
as a candidate for coroner.
TAX COLLECTOR.

tion first Wednesday in January,
1884.
Oft DIN A RV.
We place our name, T. A. Havron,
before tire voters of Dade as a candi
date for Ordinary. It is our desire,
and we intend and will, to make the
race entirely upon our individual
merits and qualifications.
Chattanooga had a little fire Sun
day night.
The legislature will convene the
first Wednesday in next month.
One of the leading features of But.
ler’s addresses isfin favor of protective
tariff.
We maffe a trip to Chattanooga tbe
first of tbe week. Business is reported
to be rather dull and money scarce.
On the 23d inst., the question of
restriction will be voted upon. Let
all deliberate!v consider the issues and
vote according to their honest convic
tions.
A bill has been filed to condemn,
and commissioners appointed to as
sess the amount of damage for a right
of wav for a railroad from Chattanoo
ga to Point Lookout.
Many of the strongest temperance
advocates oppose entangling the move
ment with political alliances. Let
it stand or fall on its owu intrinsic
merits.
In Petersburg, Va , and vicinity,
all cotton factories have closed on ac
count of the scarcity of water, occa
sioned by the drouth. It throws out
»/f employment over 700 men, women
and children, who are now on suffer
ance.
The best evidence of tbe success of
the Democratic party in the coming
election is the drift of the heavy bets
in favor of Cleveland and Hendricks.
It is better than newspaper reports and
what politicians say, for men do not
go into it without being well informed.
THE LAST OF THE LINE.
Broken by tlie storms of State ami
fate, the venerable Jefferson Davis
awaits with Christian fortitude, the
summons, that shall place him with
the silent majority, and among the
comrades who fought and toiled, and
lost, on this side of the “Rolling Riv
er.” He has lteen married twice, and
Iras no rfiale descendant who Dears his
Harm. Not long since he lost his
cult son. Recently ‘.he death ot the
mm of CJen. Jus. R. Davis, Biloxi,
Miss., took away “the last of the line.”
With him the lust hope of perpetua
ting by male descendants the ltame of
Jefferson Davis expired. The <«en
cral is a nephew ol Jefferson Davis.
The affectians of Mr. Davis and the
whole family were bestowed upon this
• eioii of ii noble stock. In his death
they see that the name will go out
with i‘s greatest repiescntalive.— j

The Issue.
It being just upon the eve of the
election to be held in Dade county, to
decide an important issne now pend
ing biff ore the people of Dade, an issue
fraught with untold consequences, an
issue, the result of which, will leave
its impress for good or evil, upon the
people of this county for generations to
come, it seems to me that the case
should be fair and impartially stated,
and placed before the people in such a
way as to cause them to think, and to
act and vote intelligently; and then we
need have no fears of the result. If we
can get the people to think and study
the question at issue, to soberly and
deliberately draw their conclusions,
ami then vote in accordance with the
verdict of their better informed judg
ments, nine times out of ten they will
vote right. The masses, uninfluenced
by prejudice or passion, and controlled
by the desire to do light, scarcely ever
err in matters of policy. Upon this
very principle, as a basis, rests our
beloved democracy, our republican
form ol government. The objection
is urged by some that it restricts our
libyrties as citizens of this great and
free republic of ours to say that we
shall not make and sell intoxicating
liquors as much as we please, ami
when and where we please, provi
ded we are willing to pay the
government for the privilege of so
doing. That is all very nice in theory;
but it we, by observation and experi
ence find that the practice ot such lib
erties is detrimental to our own best
interests, has a tendency to degrade
us, and make us slaves to our appe
tites and baser passions, would not
the verdict of common sense be, let ns
icinove the evil ? Sell-protection is
the first law of nature, and if out lib
erties, or rather the abuse ot them
would endanger our existence or wel
fare, would it not be well tor us to res
trict onr liberties in accordance with
this first and highest law of nature ?
The poiLt for us to decide in studying
this question is this; Does the pres
ence of a saloon in a, neighborhood, a
community or town, tend to elevate
the people morally, socially and intel
lectually ? Or is the reverse true ? It
we find upon careful, deliberate and
unpaitiul investigation that it tends
to Iteguile the youth of our land and
entangle them in its deadly coils ; rob
vigorous manhood of self-respect,
moral force and power of will, and
make him a raving maniac, prepared
to smite his best friend, even the wile
of bis bosom to the earth ; send gray
hairs tottering in shame and sorrow to
the grave ; multiply the wailing and
suffering of widowhood and orphana
ges ; fill our poor houses with paupers;
our jails and penitentiaries with crimi
nals, and our lunatic asylums with
howling demons, raving maniacs--
who will say that ’t might not so be
altogether suppressed ? Who will
contend that the traffic in intoxicating
liquors is constitutional, and therefore
ought to be allowed ? Who will vote
to harbor bis deadliest enemy because
he is allowed to do so by the constitu
tion'? On the other band won’t there
be a mighty rising up of the people ot
Dade to put away from among us
this accursed thing ? Why, mv dear
sirs, suppose ibis county was infected
by bands ot outlaws, hordes ot ban
ditti, would there not be a mighty
marshaling of forces to expel the inva
ders ? We have a worse foe to con
tend with in that it strikes diiectly at
the higher nature in n an, blinds bis
moial sensibilities and pieparcs its
victim for all manner of crime. 'I bis
is indeed a dark picture, but \lie half
has not been told.
There us another standpoint from
which this question might be looked
at. The sale ol whisky in any place
is a bar to the establishment and suc
cessful operation of schools ior near
that place. Excuse us for a bit of per
sonal obseivation jn*t here. We have
been connected with schools both as
student and teacher, where whisky
could be bad on every hand, and at all
times ; we have known young men to
go to such schools, the h.>pe of doting
parents, the pride of loving brothers
and sisters, and the boast of generous
friends; I have known these same
voting men to fall in with others who
drank, lake the poisonous howl, tip
the decanter aiouiul tlie card table till
morning light, fqiend the fol'owing
day in sleeping off' the effects of the
night’s potations, unfit for study or
recitation, and the next day when
called upon for an excuse fot absence,,
played sick. This is m>t ail exception-j
al case, but ono of hundred-*• 'hi the
o.her hand at schools where whisky
was not sold in seven miles ot (lie
place, we have seen drunkards reform
and become studious, make rapid
progress, become religious, and grad
uate with honors and go home to be
the comfort and solace of aged parents.
Neither is this an exceptional case.
How is it in Dade ■? T here an* more
than, two saloons to our school. What
can we expect from such a state of af
fairs ? Il l were an artist I would
paint two pictures and present them
to the people of Dade county lor their
consideration,
In one cf these pictures I w ould
show some twenty saloons, where men
made in the image of God, deal out
deatli to their fellow men: with here
and there a youth, a middle-aged man,
an old man, staggering to and fro
making night hideous with their
oaths, imprecations and demoniac
yells. In one of these houses of hell 1
would draw a picture of two friends
first drinking together, next disputing
then coming to blows, and finally tbe
one burying bis dagger to tbe hilt in
the heart ot the other, with his life
blood flowing from his wounds; the
father, the mother, the brothers and
sisters meeting and ringing their
hands in anguish mintteiable At
another of these places I would paint
an old decrepid man, spending the
money earned by his wife at the wash
tub, not for tbe coffee she sent for but
for that which would poison his mind,
influence his passions, destroy his
reason, uud prepare him to return to
his home and abuse his beloved com
panion who is wearing her life away
in trying to support her family. In
one corner of this picture I would en
deavor to paint a home scene, once
happy but now desolate, tbe father a
raying maniac, a jug of whisky sitting
near him, a little child lying near it
as if in the arms of death, caused bv
drinking from that jug, and the dis
tracted wife and mother leaning over
her darling almost in the agony of
complete dispair. The other picture
should not be desecrated by a saloon.
But here and there I would paint a
church, where the people forsake not
the assembling of themselves together,
In here the Sabbath is honored and
God is worshiped ; a school house
where the minds and hearts of the
children are being trained and devel
oped, where tbe little children, the
boys and tire gills, the young men and
young ladies are being prepared for
usefulness ami happiness. In this
picture, also, I would endeavor to
paint a home scene, but not like the
other In this there should be the pa
rents, the children, brothers and sis
ters, suit mmled by the comforts ot
life, with books of history, science,
travel and romance and games ot
amurement, where all is harmony,
peaee and Jove. And then 1 would
say, my countrymen, which of tliese
do yin like best ? T hese are
no fancy sketches, but actual facts and
possibilities.
People ot Dale, we can retain the
saloons, raise up our people in igno
rance, exposed to the damning influ
ence of the glog shop, make drunkards
or our young men, and prepare them
for almost any crime pi the whole
catalogue of crime, fit only t fv the
asylum, the ]>enitentiajy or thek chain
gang. On the other band we|caii do
away with the saloons, have first-class
schools all over the county witj no
counteracting influences where wo can
have our children trained for useful
ness and happiness, our young men
fitted loi good citizens, farmers, law
yers, doctors, statesmen, in fact, pre
pared to fill any office of profit or trust
to w hich they might be called. Which
will you have? Choose \e this day
whom ve will serve.
Trenton ami Rising Fawn both
ought to support good schools ten
months in the year, and could and
would do it but lor the sale of whisky
in those places. Ami just so certain as
that is the ease no man who lias the
education ami organizing ability
requisite for such an Undertaking, is
going to ruts the risk of an almost cer
tain failure, wnen he can g:t go d
places all over this country where lie
lias not this evil influence to light
against.
The election to test this matter is
near at hand, and we feel almost cer
tain that the decision will be in favor
of piobibition; and if it is we predict
that in less than tlnee years there will
be goo 1 schools where needed, and
general prosperity and good Ice iug;
lew convicts sent to tlie chain gang
from our county, and lower heart lend
ing sighs caused by the excessive use
of the intoxicating bowl. Let every
body go to the polls and vote for pro
hibition. I almost wish the women
were allowed to vote in this election.
I am sure there would then be no
doubt of the result.

SILENT INI'IjUENC’E.
YVe are touching our fellow-beings
on all sides. They are affected for
good or for evil by what we are, by
what .ve say and do, even by what we
think and feel. May flowers in tbe
parlot breath their fragrance through
the atmosphere. We are each of u*
as silently saturating the atmosphere
about us with the subtile aroma of our
character, in the family circle, be
sides and beyond all ;lm teaching, the
daily life of each parent and child
mysteriously modifies the life of every
person in the household. J’lie same
process on a wider scale is going on
through the community. No mail
livetli to himself, and no man ilyetli
to himself. Others are built up and
straightened by our unconscious
deeds; and others may bo wrenched
out of their places, and thrown down
by our unconscious influence.—Con

A SOLEMN PROCEEDING.
A prominent and intelligent gentle
man of Whitfield county lias recently
been engaged in a novel and rather
soh'inn pursuit, that of superintending
the digging of bis own grave. Ho lias
selected for this last resting place a
romantic and quiet spot, remote from
the j a ring noises of the busy world,
and lias bad the crypt, which will re
ceive his mortal remains, nicely ce
mented ami enclosed with an iron
railing, Although in the evening ol
life, tiiis eccentric gentleman is still
hale and hearty and has flattering
prospects of a still longer existence.—
