TrihnfA Of Rnsnncf.

Death, that destroyer of all terrestrial
beings, has again invaded our mystic circle
and taken forth our brother, CHARLES
LEATHEEMAN, to that country "from whose
bourne no traveller returns. He died at the
residence of his son-in-law, Capt. VIM, F.
B tllentine, in Pulaski, on the 10th of Au-
gust, 1871, after an illness of thirty-six
hours, in the seventy fifth year of his age
His demise was so sudden and unlocked for,
that his friends were startled by The an
nounceTnent of his death ere they we're aware
of his illness. How truly may it be said
''that in the midst of life we are in DEATH"
The deceased was born in Orange county,
n. c., on the 18th of May, 1897; removed to
Maury county in this State, with his father,
in 1917, and from thence TO Giles county in
1918, whore he has since resided. lie set tied
on a farm on Bradshaw's Creek, where, by
diligence, prudence and economy, he se
cured handsome estate, and by his infiexi-
bic integrity, generosity and goodness of
heart that which is rather to be chosen than
great riches, good Mans.
Endowed by nature with a large stock
practIcal common sense, with great equaEinl-
ity of mind and temper; scrupulous in all
his dealings: modest and unassuming in
his manners; bospitable, kind and courte-
Gus to all he won the confidence ard affection
of his neighbors to a degree fex have done.
Nothing so disquieted him as strife and dis
cord between neighbors and friends, and
nothing afforded him more happiness than
to be the means Of reconcilibg those who
were at variance, and perhaps no man ever
did more, or was more successful in suet eff
forts; indeed, he was a standing umpire
among his neighbors for the settlement q
their difficulties. he was truly peace ma
ker.
Brother Leatherman had been forty-one
years member of the Masonic fraternity,
and the greater portion Of that time Royal
Arch Mason. lie was a Mason, good and
true, nd,lived up to the tenets of the Order,
"curbed his desires and passions, and kept
them within due bounds with all mankind"
He was ever ready to relieve the needy and
to exte Id the hand of charity to the widow
and orphan. Therefore, be it
ResolEed, That for his long devotion to
the principles and duties Of our order; his
purity of lite and conduct his infexib lein-
tegrity and goodness Of heart, we viii ever
cherish his memory as a man aud Mason;
hers of this Lodge viii wear The usual badge
Of mourning for thirty days.

NC cIassie shades 81 ..Frog B.

The classic shades of Frog Bot
tom,
Where the tad-pole ways his sportive tail,
And the bull frog mocks the nightingale,
we're rudely disturbed a few nights
ago by a fierce coufict between a
/ pens1ve darkey by the name ofJohn
Perkins and his warlike spouse (by
a morganatic marriage) one Emma
Burch. These TIVE sable indfvidu-
ais were ambitious to rehearse be
fore the Frog Bottomites, the Shaks
perian tragedy of Othello, only the
characters in that well known drama
were reversed by mutual consent.
Emma took pqon herself the mas
culine roZe of the historic Moor, and
J. Perkins expressed feeble viii
lingness to don the crinoIine Of the
squelched Desdemona. Jealousy,
that yindictive passion which ami
mates the play, had entered largely
into Emma's composition. She
suspected the meek and lowly John
of oiling his kinks and saturating
his pocket handkerchief with CHINA
mon drops for another damsel than
herself, and deep down into the cav
ernous recesses Of her heart, the
poisoned arrow ranked, fostering
an unquenchable desire for revenge.
Therefore the angry Emma seated
herself in her boudoir when evening
threw its dusky mantle over the
mud puddIes and frog ponds Of the
bottom, and toying with her luxu-
rant kinks impatiently awaited the
coming Of her lord. He soon en-
tered-clothed in apparent limo
cence and checked shirt, and pro-
ceeded to sling his manly form at
full length upon a divan. Emma
then arose like a Nemesis and sci
zing upon some other toilet articles
in the shape of shovel and pair of
tongs, went for him like one of Ju-
pliers thunderbolts, only more so.
Then followed a dramatic scene of
the most exhilarating nature. The
floor Of the boudoir was strewn
with kinks, and nothing was heard
for several moments but the must
cal elang Of the tongs and the dull |
reverberatiOn of the shovel as they |
fell rapidly on the adamantine era
MUM of j. Perkins, colored. |
But scenes like this cannot last al |
ways, however pleasant they may /
be, and in this case Town Constable
Richardson appeared on the scene
and rung down the curtain, at the
same time inviting the sable actors
20 appear before Esq. Abernarhy
he next day. They appeared and
paid into the corporation treasury
55 each, for rehearsing Shakespeare
n license.
Parable Brumley and Priscilla
Mason, two belligerent females Of
African scent who consider the

caution, and the ordinance should

When the Tennessee Press Ex-

of one hungry reporter from the

tears in his sparkling eyes, that he

After feeding the poor fellow, he re

poor fellow after having his peck
