are as essential to life as mental train
ing. Christian principles are the ground
work, and the pupils are never allowed
to forget the Great Author of all things.
The pupils all acquitted themselves
with credit. Yes, with honor to them
selves-with ho1or to their teachers and
community! For, surely, tits an honor

OBITUARY..

Died at her residence in this place, May
the End, Miss NANCY WHITE, aged IS years,
Of disease which had been preyfng upon
her for the last two years, but at last de-
clared its fatality. She has lived q quiet
and peaceful life, both among her friends
and with her God. She was devoted Chris
tan, kind and affectiOnate sister, and O
loving aunt. She has been member of the
Presbyterian Church Of this place for many
years, and when blessed with health, was
seldom If ever missed among the congrega-
ton, until the past few years, her health
rapidly failing, she was deprived OF that
great pleasure she most enjoyed, that was
hearing the Gospel preached, though in her
every action she fully practioed Its precepts.
1t would be useless in me to attempt to
speak of her many noble qualities, those
who knew her best loved her most; she
bore her Affections with Christian fortitude,
mover murmuring. She spoke OF her short
stay here; said her mission had been fulfilled
and why should she ask TO stay. She loved
to speak OF death; seemed 10 look
forward with the greatest pleasure when
said, 81 do not dread death 1t has no sting
to me. l will soon drink OF that blessed
cup Of joy, which was filled for me pure to
wreath that was entwined by those angels
above, and she now Joins In those sweet
anthems sung by that golden choir above.
Says she, al touch the harp with golden
While we know her sufferfngs are over here,
yet we mourn her departure. A few hours
before her death she put her arms around
one sitting near her, and said, II will soon
be gone; am to take the voyage all alone;
the valley have to pass through seems SO
dark and lonely" Being told that God
would be with her, seemed in moment to
brighten and cheer her eyes. eyes" says
she, " all is bright and beautiful. I have
company now, that same guardian angel
who has lowered around my bedside for SO
long, is ready to point the way, and says
heaven is your home; It's there your spirit
shall take its flight, it wandered here but
for WHILE" She now enjoys delight.
Though hard 1t was to give her up,
How could we ask her stay,
While guardian angels stood around,
Still reckoning her away.
Her eyes are closed, and DER her brow
Pass thoughtful shadows and joyous CLEANS,
And know by her mOveleSS lips that now
Her spirit strays in that land of dreams.
o happy one, thy spirits fled,
1t dwellS now with the bleSt;
Thy der frail body with the dead
In the silent grave now rests.
She begged that not friend should weep
Around her dying bed;
She dreaded death no more than sleep,
As Christ the way had led.
Now fare thee well, we never forget
Thy parting words as given;
Though missed on earth but for awhile,
We soon shall meet in heaven.

Fine Fishing.


How dear to our heart are the recollections
of chilhoods happy days when our greatest
pleasure was to steal off to Horsleys Dam
on Duck river, in Maury county, and with
true Isaac Walton zeal and patience "gC
for" the monarch OF the waters, the noble
trout. Occasionally we would visit ShOal
Greek stream, in Wayne county, famous far
and near for its game fish. WethOught then
that those streams could not be eXcelled
But there is a lake over in the Choctaw Ma
ton, about twenty miles from this city, that
eXcels any body Of water in Tennessee foI
game fish. The lake issituated On the high
lands, and is fed by springs: it abounds in
trout, silver perch, black perch and cat fish.
1t is notuncommon to catch during days
fishing fifty pounds of fish. As an enthusi-
astic angler remarked the other day, "you
can catch them as fast as You can pull them
out" Think of it TenneSsecans, thetidea OF
pulling out trout and silver perch, as fast as
you throw in your hooki This is no eXag-
gerated story, as many OF our neighbors Will
testify.
We copy the above from the Paris
(Texas) Press, edited by a gentleman,
whom many in this community will re-
member, W. II. Lewis, Esq. Mr.. Lew
is left Columbia many years ago, but
with the true instincts of manhood, he
has not forgotten the place of his child
hood. His mother lived a long time in
this city opposite the Cumberland
Church, but has been with her son in
Texas tor several years.

Tha ExelI stoclk sale.

Many noted stock men attended the
sale Of Gen. Ewell's stock on last Wed
nesday week. Among those present, We
noticed Col. Jno. Overton, DR.. Cheatham
and Col. Thomas Claiborne, of David
son county; Co.. MoGavock, Maj. Allison
and Col j. p. johnson, of Williamson
county, and from our own county there
were many of our best farmers.
Bidding was very lively, and many Of
our breeders took advantage Of the OPP
portunity In buying stock. All the
stock sold well With the exception OF
the horse stOck, which sold low.
Capt. Gibson's celebrated horse, Rat
tier, was on the ground, and was much
admired, % were many of his colts,
which were sold. Col. j. p. johnson
had some of his fine short horn herd on
the ground, and sold several. Mr., j. J.
Cranberry bought young bull by Pat
Malloy, LIST dam Pocahontas, &C., 60,
price 1880; Col. d. B. Cooper also pur-
chased fine young bull pedigree not
recollectod) at the same figures; Mr..
Joseph h. Dew purchased the young
Vandal colt, and Intends taking him to
Texas. e.i
There was fine barbecue, which all
parties enjoyed very much. Alb Nc
Mems bossed" the barbecue. Mr.
Kidd, Of Lexington, KY, was the auc-
tioneer, and the crowd were kept in a
continual laugh by some of his quota
tions. He Is certainly the best we have
had in this county "Uncle Bacon" was
there. end some said that he got disgust
ed and left.
Stock brought fine prices. The sheep,
labout ], 2OOl averaged $500 per head.
The Jersey cattle brought fine prices,
and were much admired. 8. w. Scott
bought a fine short horn COW that took
the red ribbon at our Fall Fair. Major
Brown announced to the crowd that on
the Sd Wednesday in June next there
would DO another sale of trotting horses
and colts, short horns and Jersey cattle,
sheep and hogs.

Horse Stolen,

Last Saturday Mr.. John r. Patterson
came to town, but when he wished to go
home could not find his horse, 1t hay
ing been stolen. In the evening MI.
Patterson found his horse in the pos
session of Mr.. Lovick Loftin, who had
come to town on some business. On
being asked by Mr.. Patterson, as to how
he came by the horse, Mr.. Loftin in
formed him that at about 10 O'Clock that
morning, he had snapped mule to Geo.
Spindle, col, for the horse. George be-
ing in town, he was Immediately ar
rested, and committed tor trial on Mon
day. After trading horses with Mr.. Lof-
tin, George came back to town and got
st. l.. White TO auction the mule off to
the highest bidder, at about II O'Clock,
NJ, and Mr.. Jas. III. Jamison became the
purchaser, and still holds the mule.
Monday evening George had trial be-
fore John G.. Horsley, j. p, who com.
mitted him, in default of bail, for trial
at the next Criminal Court. George has
borne the reputation of an upright and
honest person heretofore.

AGOOd school.

One of the very best schools in oul
city is taught i'm the Lecture Room Of
the FIRST Presbyterian Church, by Miss
Rebecca Frierson and Mrs. Amis. This
school has not received that notice IRON
us that its high merits deserve. 1t was
announcement for. us to be present at the
public examination at the close of the
session last year, and the gentleman
who promised us to attend and furnish
a report for our paper, failed to do so
that was the reason that the school was
not noticed among the reports of the
school examinations of last summer.
ON inquiry we learn that the school
closed for the present summer vacation
a few days ago without any public eX-
animation. 1t is select school for girls
into which few small boys are receiv-
ed. We understand that the Lecture
Room has been partitioned into suitable
compartments for the accommodation oil
the different classes, and consequently
there is no one room in the building
large enough to hold the school and an
audience at the same time; and thai
was the reason why the public exami-
nation was dispensed with at the close
OF the last session. We learn from the
friends and patrons of this school thai
il continues to give the same high sat
isfaction that it has ever done. Mrs
4 mis- and Miss Frierson have in this
community established characters as
teachers of superior merit. We are glao
TO know that their school will be opened
again next September.

CROSS BRIDGES ITEMS.

Cross Bridges improves. W. r. Frier-
son has a large steam cotton gin recently
built, and will probably do large bu-
siness. Some other gentlemen speak of
getting portable gin and press, and
gin and pack the cotton in the field.
The wheat crop promises well, and
reapers are rafting round like army
wagons.
The corn crop is late, but recent rains
will make the stalks grow rapidly and
turn to deep green in few days.
The cotton is unusually fine Of the
early planting, but very much mixed
with young growth that came up since
the heavy rains. Mr.. J. Fl. Webster
chopped out and planted with a machine
of his invention, which does well, we
understand.
Stock-raising has revived again; many
fine animals on hand, both horses and
lacks of The best blood for the turf, pad
or harness.
The fruit crop is abundant for all pur-
poses, to can, to dry and little TO make
fine brandy. Mr.. A. Massey makes il
double proof.
The fishing season IS over. Bigby
has had fine supply, but low water has
enabled seins and traps to gather nearly
all of them.
There is a fine male School taught by
Mr.. J. w. Frierson, who is very compe
