OBITUARY.
Near Unionvilie, on the 18th inst,
Miss MARY E. COLEMAN, daughter
of John and Lydia A. Coleman, was
born Dec. 18th, 1850, and died Februa-
ry the l1th, 1878, aged % years, l
month and 80 days.
Sister Coleman embraced the religion
of Christ in the eighteenth year of her
aye and shortly after united with the
NJ. Z. Church and remained a worthy
and exemplary member Of the same un-
til called to join the Church above.
Even at that early age it could be said
of her she continued steadtastly in the
Apostles doctrine and fellowship, and
in breaking of bread and in prayers.
She delighted in the ordinances of the
Lords house, and loved the fellowship
of the saints.
Religion had made her an ornament
to the Church, to home and to the com
muuity. For nearly two years she had
been afflicted with what was supposed
to be consumption of the lungs. but
what was more likely consumption of
all the vital forces of the body, AT first
fully realising her situation she was
somewhat terrified. She did not feel
like giving up a life so full of promise
so soon after its commencement. But
ere long she realized the fullness of the
promise---as thy day SO shall thy
strength be aud became perfectly re
signed Often when hope was ex-
pressed that she might rally again and
remain a little longer with us,she would
answ er | have no choice-it is all inthe
Lords hands and whatsoever he does is
right. Sister Coleman had no Fears of
death, she saw the grim monster APP
preaching for weeks, yea months, be-
fore she died, yet she talked aS0ntit as
calmly as if it were years in the future.
Her christian experience was clear, full,
and decisive,-she was ready and will
ing to go. She died without a strug
gle-so easily that those who watched
around her bed scarcely knew it, until
the spirit had gone 81
Gone to its rest; eand'while
Its absence we deplore;
One thought our sorrow shall begulle,
But soon with celestial smile,
Well meet to part no more.
\ FRIEND.

Charlestown, Feb. 18th, 1878.

HkS- The truth of the following per-
tinent lines cannot be doubted. We
commend them to every inhabitant of
this town :
The best way to make town grow
and become place Of Importance, is to
encourage every one, especially new
men, to come and settle among you,
particularly those who are active, wheth-
err they have capital or not. Their la
Dor alone is worth money. Go to work;
stimulate every enterprise by giving it
every encouragement. Cultivate apub-
lie spirit, help your neighbor, encourage
your local authorities when right in
public improvements for the good of
the town you live in, and in fact every
thing likely to advance the public good.
1t is such little things that make town
grow. Their cost is Insignificant when
divided up among your citizens, but
concentrated into a general effort they
do their work wonderfully.

Orr Churches.

A church should always be the most
comfortable and attractive place of pub
lie resort in every community. It
should be made light, airy and attract
i've to the eye In summer, and warm
and coy in the winter. 4 dark, cold,
gloomy, smoky, dirty church is down.
right reprOach to any people. We are
glad that our church going people seem
to recognize this as fact. Orr Pres
bytefian friends have made theirs a
gem. We know of no public building
which presents a more pleasing and
tasteful appearance inside. We would
rejoice to see ali our churches as neat
and comfortable. The Episcopal chap
Ell, although rented property, is kept
neat and comfortable, while the few re-
naming members Of the Cumberland
church are striving very hard to put
their building in repair, and have al
ready recovered and re-plastered it,
and we believe contracted for its COM
pletion. We trust they will not stop
until it has been made perfect The
Catholics have neat though unpre-
tending church near the depot. But
the glOomiest and most uncomfortable
one we ever saw is the Methodist church
OF this place. 1t is leaky, smoky, dark
anC dirty. 1t needs recovering, plas-
tering, papering and painting. The
pulpit needs cutting down, the cupoIo
needs new one, and so does the fur
mace. In fact, it needs re-modeling
from basement to cupola, and we re-
jOice te know that such a renovation is
contemplated. Already a church con-
ference has been organized, committees
have been appointed, Investigations in
stituted, plans drawn, and estimates
made, and ali that is necessary now to
complete the work during the month of
April is to get the money. Certainly
$4,000 or $500 can be very easily raised
for this purpose. The changes cOntem-
plated will so completely re-mOddle the
old gloomy structure as to make it fit
place for wOrship-pleasant, safe and
comfortable. The church is wealthy,
the membership large, and there is no
tractive edifice, and if the older and
ADLER members will take the matter ear
nestly in hand, and head the list with
liberal subscriptions, the work will be
done in a few days. Let every man
subscribe all he intends to give at once
without reserve, and this will encourage
others to do likewise. Although the
repairs upon the church will be perma-
nent, and his pastoral charge only tenn
porary, the present jealous and efficient
pastor has shown great earnestness in
this matter by giving One-ninth of his
entire salary to it. Let the other mem
beers contribute only half so literally
and the thing will be easily accom-
plished.

CoRNERsvILLE, March Il, 1873.
DEAR FRIEND MCCORD BY Thurs
days mail the bills came safely to
hand. 1 have sent off 100 to seven
States; shown them to over 200 men
and ,comen. With one solitary excep-
ton there has been but one verdict
''the incest bills 1 ever saw" One man
thought he had seen, perhaps, as nice.
My father had bills printed for over so
years; L have had them in various
styles for 35 years, but L can say,
with pleasure, these are the neatest bills
ever saw, both in the arrangement
and mechanical execution.
Let me tell you an incident that hap
pencd last Saturday. An old gentle
man, neighbor, saw one, and asked
me the question, "Why do You send to
New York to have your bills printed,
when we have good southern men, and
needy, near us?'' l said these bills
were printed by my good friend Nc
Cord, at the CITIZEN office, Pulaski.
With a peculiar grunt, that 1 cannot
tell you nor spell, he said, ''Well, we'll,
| did not think such could be got up
anywhere this side of New York"
''Distance lends,'' etc, was mt once sug-
gested. Thus the world wags. We
have talent, No. men, mechanics "a
few, but not enough), fne stock, pretty
women, good lands, timber, water,
minerals and babies in abundance that
are not known, read of, or appreciated.
am proud of the bills, and congrat-
ulate you upon your entire success.
They are perfect. 1 have sent speci-
mems of the bills to a dozen of the most
prominent newspapers in the United
States, one to Grant, one to each of the
heads of Departments, ETC., and also to
all the principal stock men of America.
Last Thursday sold to a gentleman
of Georgia bay colt, "JnO. c. Brown, y
foaled 1872, got by Watson, 1st dam
Minnie Brown, by Imp. Australian,
III crosses), for 500. Yet there are
those who persist in saying there is
nothing in blood. Within a week |
HAYES old two colts for nearly $1,000, Zone
had an eye knocked OUT. The keeping
of said colts cost me no more than the
keeping of mule. Comment is unnec-
| essary.
We have the measles, and not much
gold, silver, or greenbacks.
As ever, your friend,
GEO. T. ALTMAN.
