Died.

In Giles county, Tenn. at the resi-
dence of his brOther-in-law, W. B. Pet
tus, on the Goth OF June, 1874. JAMES
WATSON DAILY, son of the late Thos. b.
DAILY, in the 22nd year Of his age.
The subject of this notice was born
in Giles county on the 2Sth of August.
1889. He received his education princi-
pally at Bethany High School aud Oak
Hill Institute. After becoming a good
classical scholar and having made con-
siderable progress in the sciences, he
chose the law for his profession, and en-
tered the law school at Lebanon. At
the close of his first session the decIfn-
ing health of his father, and his death
soon after, prevented him from return-
ing the succeeding session Anxious to
prosecute his studies, in the latter part
of the year he read for a few months in
the law office of MesSrs. McCallum in
Pulaski, where by his exemplary con-
duct, studious habits, discriminating
mind aud courteous manner he made q
most favorable impression. Resolved
to complete his course of study at Ieb-
anon, although he had a bad cold and
slight pain in the side at the commence
ment of the late session, he was so anx-
ious to start with the class that be disre-
garded the admonition of friends and
went on TO Lebanon, and pursued his
studies with his wonted energy and
alacrity and graduated with his class
His cold, from being neglected, settled
on his lungs, and he was compelled to
leave short time before the session
closed, and died but few weeks after
he returned home.
Early instructed in the truths of the
gospel by pious parents, he recognized
the necessity of personal religion, and
during his last session at Lebanon he
experienced change Of heart and star
ted out to live the life of a christian
His decline was very rapid, and when
informed that his earthly career was
nearly over he cOnversed with friends
with calmness and christian resignation.
saying, "this is not our home. God is
good and hath redeemed us through
Jesus Christ our Lord" These were
his last words.
Thus has passed away an amiable and
lovely young man in the springtime of
life, full of hope and promise, endowed
with natural gifts and graces, which lid
not give promise merely but assurance
of success.
How mysterious are the ways of
PrOyidencei How foreibly are we re
minded that Death, the memorable enc
my of our race, strikes down the young
as well as the old, that neither the graz
ces of intellect nor the blooming hopes
of youth can stay his Unsuitable hand
that all alike are his victims, and at an
hour when they least expect it! And
how solemnly are we reminded, s'be We
also ready'I NJ.

~ What If the Banner men did vote
for Grant! Isn't Maynard a gentlemen,
and hasn't a man got a right to vote for
Brownlow If he pIeases? This charge
that tile Banner men voted for Lincoln
didn't lessen their right to vote for Har-
rison; and for arguments sake, suppose
they did vote for Kercheval, does that
prove they were wrong in voting for
Stokes? Haven't the Banner men got
as much right to play Collussus as suly-
body and straddle their political leg
over Greeley, Pendleton, senter, john
son, Morris q Co., and their private leg
over Grant, Lincoln, Stokes, Maynart,
kerehevel & Coz Suppose the Banner
was once respected as a live, reliable,
democratic paper, does that argue that
It's proprietors hadn't the right to turn
And who can blame them
for trying to keep up democratic APP
pearances. True, the effort is too thin,
but that is an error of the Banners head
and not of its heart.

Extension.

The store houses occupied by j. r. C.
Brown are being extended in the rear
so that they viii each be 100 feet in the
clear. MT. BrOwn's business demanded
more room, and when the extensions
are completed, it will just double the ac-
commodations. This house is now do
ing business of 100000 year, which
they have run up by doing square, fair
business, and not being stint of printers
ink. They employ nine statesmen and a
porter, and have every facility for wait
ing upon their numerous customers and
delivering goods atany point in the city.
Their goods are offered at cost for the
next thirty days, and the people can de-
pend upon it that they will be cheap,
for J. R. C. Browns profit prices are as
low as foreign s5holesale prices.

REVIVAL at the Factory.

Rev. B. NJ. Taylor held last week a
series of meetings at the residences of
the citizens near the Pulaski Factory
for the benefit of those of that neigh
borhood who are unable to attend regu-
Jar service down in town. The meet
ings were well attended and resulted in
the conversion of eleven persons. There
ought to be a church in that vicinity,
and doubtless will be at some future day,
but in the meantime such meetings as
the one referred to are a blessing and
a privilege to that people, which should
be encouraged by all christians.

MIR. II. b. Williams, the artist. informs
us that he intends TO leave Pulaski the
9Th of August. Alr. Williams has the
reputation of being the most accom-

Pulaski, and as he will positively leave
at the time above indicated, our people
have a short time to avail themselves OF
his superior skill IN making their
pictures. His gallery will doubtless be

The Schools to so On-Exft Civil
Rights,

The Schools To so On-EXit Civil
4 Rights.
We reprint elsewhere two circulars
from the State Superintendent of Public
Schools, one providing for holding four
Institutes for Middle Tennessee, the
other Withdrawing the former circular
in which he called a halt until civil
rights could be driven back. He now
orders the schools "to the 'front.' and
says, sSchOOl Directors viii go forward
in the employment of teachers as before"
We refer also to the notice of the Co.
Superintendent of Giles, appointing the
time and place for examinations. All
Indications are, that the schools will
move on as if nothing had happened.
We bid them God speed, for we feel,
that in addition to the immense benefit
they are doing to our children, they have
been the shield which protected us from
civil rights. Republicans, such as
Brownlow and others, who laughed or
frowned at all other arguments, were on
our side when the schools were threat
ened. The danger of the schools brought
to our suecOr the efforts of such men as
the venerable DIR. Sears, and the power
full influence of the Peabody Board.
The school men of the Northern and
border States also interposed their in
fiuence, fearing that this beginning por-
tended interference with their own
State school systems,
When Congress meets in December
the legislature of Tennessee viii also be
in session, ready to meet the passage OF
Civil Rights by an immediate abolition
of public schools. Until the civil rights
bill becomes a law which we hope will
be necer, it would be the height of folly
to throw away the only shield which can
protect us from the danger;
