Mr.. EDITOR The heavy rains have
ceased and the sun has again made its
appearance to the Joy Of every man,
woman and child in the land: and to-
day there is a general stir among the
farmers to make up lost time. Our
wheat, eat and rye crops are looking
finely, and if nothing happens them, we
may reasonably expect q rich harvest.
Candidates are getting ''as thick as
hops" through the country, but not
enough vet; we agree with Jack White.
We want two from each district, and
nothing less win satisfy us. COnyen-
tons were little unpopular at first, but
we can see they are growing in favor
every day, and believe on Saturday be-
fore the 6rst Monday in June they will
be held in every district in the county.
We want TO know who s-Civis" is; we
endorse every word of his article, and
viii 20 a treat he is a man with the
clark on let him be who he may.
The people are beginning to TO see where
they are drifting to, and where they
viii land if something is not done; and
that SPEEDILY. We are in favor Of all
the candidates having a meeting mot a
cOnventiOn) and see If Sheg cannot fall
upon some agreeable plan by which the
matter can be adjusted. At least they
can discuss the subject among them
selves and they will certainly see the
prOpriety of holding a county cOnven-
/ ton. We want to hear from some or all
Of the candidates through the CITIZEN.

II
DISTRICT No. 8, GILES Co. TENN.
Mr.. EDITOR Notwithstanding the
disappointment and modification Of the
citizens of District No. l, of this county,
at the failure upon petition to the Coun-
ty Court of Giles, for an appropriation
to build a bridge across Elk river at
EiktOn, saw a few days since ut least
eight or ten thousand feet of lumber
stacked on the street best known as
"graveled street." which is the street
leading directly to the river from a
north entrance to the village, and where
the bridge was anticipated to be built.
What the object is of this accumulation
of lumber there, l cannot say, but being
sympathetic with our friends of district
No. in these times of flood and storm,
when the ferry boats and all convenient
ces for crossing the river are swept
away, we could not but hope that some
favorable wind had blown them a streak
of good fortune, and they would have a
bridge independent of the Court of our
good county.
Those who have business in either of
the courts that viii commence at PuIas-
XII to-day, and are 50 unfortunate as to
reside on the South side of Elk river
viii either have to swim the stream or
leave their business unattended.
Sunday with u.s. was day of rain,
wind and hail-the heaviest of the sea-
son-laying fiat the best staked fences.
Farmers are doing but little-rebuild-
ing fences and shedding tears over q
barren space that was a short time back
a rich and productive soil.
Wouldn't it be a good thing if the
Judge would convene court and adjourn
Immediately, and give the farmers a
chance to plant something to feed the
Jail birds upon
Saturday, 9th of May, there will be a
regular meeting of Elkton Grange No.
4S3-but not for the purpose OF con-
trolling wind or weather. Al.

At the residence of her son, Maj. J. B.
Stacy, in this city, on last Monday
morning, May 4th, at O'Clock, Mrs. E.
G. STACY, wife of Nathan Stacy, ST.,
aged II years and five months. Mrs.
Stacy had been a member of the Print
tive Baptist Church about 46 years,
having Joined McConnico's church in
Williamson county when young. Mr.
Mshlan Stacy, to whom she was married
about 81 years ago, came to Giles county
in 1928 and lived here until 1916 when
he moved to Mississippi and remained
until after the war, returning again TO
this county, where he has lived ever
since. Their family consisted of four
children, three of whom are yet living,
Maj. J. B. Stacy being tho youngest.
Mrs. Stacy was ever characterized as a
true, good, christian woman, and the
long suffering she had endured before
death came to her relief was a source
of much sorrOw to her loving husband
and relatives. She leaves q spotless
name, an inheritance her posterity msy
well be proud of. We sincerely sympa-
thize with her aged husband, who il
left in his declining years without the
sOlacing eompanionship of her whom ne
loved so many long years

A Citizen Of Giles County shot
and Killed In Limestone Coun-
ty, Ala.
A private dispatch to Mr.. VIC. Lew
is yesterday from his farm in Limestone
eOuntgs Ala, brought intelligence OF
the tragic death on the 5th inst, Of Mr..
j.. D. Stevenson, from the vicinity OF
EiktOn, by the hands Of Mr.. Jn0. W.
Carter, who lived adjacent to the farm
Of Mr. Lewis. The telegram gave no
particulars Of the shooting, and only
enquired what 70 do with his body. Mr..
Stevenson was a young man aged about
%, was a member Of the tin firm OF
Summers & Stevenson, and we learn,
was a nephew Of Gov. Brown. It was
understood here that he had gone to
Georgia TO marry, and his untimely and
tragic death was a considerable shock
TO his friends. From our limited &C
quaintanee with deceased we considered
him an industrious, clever man. and we
know he sprang from good blood. We
sincerely regret his death and offer our
sympathy to his bereaved family.

We could not hope to do justice to the
chaste and elegant lecture of Judge Lo-
gan last Saturday night short of a ger
0atim report, and this of course our
space win not permit. The attachments
Of the lecturer in law and literature are
known and appreciated wherever he is
known, and his audiditors on Saturday
evening were captiyated by his elo-
quenee and charmed by his earnest, en-
eTgetic elaboration of the fact that en-
ergy Of viii and pertinacity of purpose
and independence of thought We're nee
essary to success in life in any and all OF
its departments. Hannibal and Caesar,
BOneparte and Luther, and Joan of Arc
and all other men and women whose
names are found in the catalogue of the
worlds heroes, and Statesmen and phi
losophers and refOrmers, and workers
of every kind, possessed these necessary
elements to greatness, and without them
could never have attained success. Ge-
MUS and intellect were desirable and
admirable, but without a positive and
audaeiOus purpose and a positive and
pertinacious viii, genius and intellect
could never reVOiutiOnize a nation, or
conquer a world, or accomplish any
great work in life. The lecturer main
tanned his position with such vehemence
of manner, such energy of thought and
expression, and such forcibleness of
reason and illustration as to impress his
auditors that there was some of that au-
daeity and fire and independence in him,
which, coupled with his intellect and
culture, would lead him to fame and
fortune. The Judge thinks well, speaks
well, looks well, and ought to marry
well, if he would.
