Death has again entered our circle, and
claimed for its victim the young and love.

how hard to take up again our burden OF
life and go patiently on our way without
the presence of our loved one, whose bright
smile and words of affection formerly glad
dened our hearts and'cheered our pathway.
Such purity of mind and dignity of char
acter is rarely met with in one of her age
Added to these were many other qualities
which endeared her peculiarly to her many
friends. Feeling this so deeply, how could
We give her up but for the well grounded
hope Of her acceptance with God. May He,
in His infinite mercy, comfort her sorrow
ing friends and enable them to say, Thy
will be done, and may they strive to meet
her where no farewell is ever heard.
We may not. though our hearts
Shrink back with bitter pain,
We dare not weigh our loss
'Gainst her eternal gain;
For surely God has sent that
Which for her is best,
Forever and forever a sweet and peaceful
rest.
Farewell forever, the victory is won,
And heaven rings the praises TO Father and
the son. &.

A yoke of oxen, the other day, while
ploughing on the farm of DR.. J. w.

fortunately found bottom before going

done. The only inconvenience was
the necessity of getting srome pretty
strong ropes to raise them out of
their subterranean prison.
Itwas with deep regretthat the eitiHens

and we have heard but one expression
from her citizens; that of sincere re-

distressed relatives, for his premature
death. He babe fair, in his early man

THE NEW DRAW.

As our readers are aware, the draw
span of the bridge at this place was
knocked down by the steamer Gilmore,
on the night of February 18th.
We are indebted to Mr.. Chas. Rost
Timekeeper, for the following infor-
nation in regard to the building of the
new draw.
The removal of the wreck was COM
menced at once and proved work of
great difficulty, as the water was IS
feet deep, and the current about 40
miles per hour. During this work,
Mr.. Partridge, Roadmaster, was get
ting large supply of timber ready on
the south side of the river.
On the 10th, Mr.. Fl. Bolla, Sup't Of
bridges, L. & N. r. r., arrived with
Mr.. Carroll, his assistant, and about
twenty men from Louisville. The
job of framing the false work was
done by Mr.. Carroll and his hands in
very short time. Mr.. Jas. j. Kelly,
with the assistance of Messrs. Dave
and Mat Mcclure and Mr.. B. Strout
and hands, did the dangerous job of
lowering the heavy false work to the
bottom of the river, under the general
supervision of Mr.. Bolla.
On the 10th of March the false work
was complete for the iron.
All the men deserve great credit for
their endurance and energy, working
every day, regardless of weather.
On the IL, the first piece of bridge
iron was raised on the false work, and
the building of the draw commenced.
On the 9th, the draw was complete
and ready for turning to receive the
cross ties and track. At 9 o'clock A.
NJ, on the 18th, the draw was turned
to join its neighbors. No accident
except the MASKING of fingers.
The laying of the ties and track was
completed and the first train crossed
about II o'clock on the 9th.
The draw itself was put up in just |
eight days. Mr.. Bolla, the superin-
tendent says, that he has been build
ing bridges for thirty years, and this |
is the quickest work he has ever done.
During the last two days the work |
was delayed sofhewhat by the lnclem-
entweather, otherwise the trains would |
have crossed on the 18th.
The draw was prepared by the Lou
isville Bridge and Iron Company. Its
weight is about Us tons.
Mr.. Ed Partridge, roadmaster; Mr..
John d. Kerr, Mr.. John Stephens,
and all the men employed on the
work, deserve much credit for the en-
ergy displayed throughout the time.
Mr.. Meek, the Superintendent of
Division, was at the bridge
early and late, and used every means
10 forward this difficult and hazard
BUS work.
The rebuilding of this structure,
has been completed in less time than
the most sanguine thought, the first of
April being the earliest date by which
my one expected trains to cross, and
proves what may be accomplished by
such men as have had. charge of the
work, when their efforts are seconded
by such workmen as have been en-
Dloyed under them.
The draw, as now rebuilt, is de-
,ided Improvement on the old one,
light but substantial ap-
Dearance, and leaves room for good
sized boats to pass without the draw
being turned.

| ANALY Sis. observation and expert
ment agree in affirming the great value
of clover, not only for grazing purpo-
ses and hay, but as an exterminator
of noxious growths and an unsur-
passed fertilizer. The question is of
ten asked. what are its fertilizing
properties? The answer given by
those competent to the task, is that it
protects the surface from the rays of
the summer sun-acting as a mulch;
that its long tap-roots admit the air
and thus disintegrate the soil and
change the physical condition both of
the soil and subsoil its abundant
foliage and its natural instincts enable
it to gather from the atmosphere guam
titles of gases that furnish plant food
and effect important chemical changes;
it absorbs nitrogen from the air, assim-
Hates it to its own substance which, on
decomposition of roots and leaves and
stems, SUPPLIES an abundance of ammo
nia-equivalent to liberal supply of
Peruvian guano To this may be adj
ded its cheapness, as compared with
other fertilizers-the outlay being
good preparation of the ground and
liberal supply ofseed. We have heard
farmers say that their lands become
Notwithstanding to reproduce the
crop. IF the clover be a biennial
plant it may be that this objection
can be removed by turning it under
every second year and growing crop
of wheat or corn-tte seed turned |
under being sufficient to ensure good
stand. AS all biennia, plants die, root
and branch, at the end of two years,
this law of their existence may indi-
cate the propriety of stirring the soil
at that time, in order that the new seed
crop may have the benefit of the STIR
ring and the clearing off the surface
the accumulated mass Of decaying
stems and leaves.
WE copy from the Brandon Miss
Republican, the following notice ofthe
death of Mr.. Frank Neblett, in the
list year of his age. Long a we'll
known citizen of this county, hea is
doubtless remembered by many of our
older citizens, as one of the worth
lest of our county men. He was the
last of seven brothers all of whom, we
believe, lived at one time, ON Budd's
creek, in this vicinity:
Francis Neblett was born in Lunen-
bury county, Va, Dec 5, 1902. eater
ward emigrated to Maury county, Tenn,
where he married Philadelphia Furgu-
son, who with five children survive him
andmourn his loss. He moved to Aus f,
tin in 1857, and became and continued
proprietor of the Austin Hotel till his '
death. He was well and favorably
known to the many who have visited
Austin, and many old patrons will feel
the loss of their old host. He had !
come to be looked upon as one of the {
of Austin. His many gen.
erous traits of character, for he was
to a fault, have won him
many warm friends both at home and
abroad. He has long been a member {
of the Methodist Episcopal Church, G
and lived and walked consistent and t
upright Christian, and died in the I
blessed hope of blissful Immortality
beyond the tomb sweet consolation to
those who mourn him, for they mourn ,
not as those who have no hope"
