FOR the CITIZEN.
BETHANY, TENN, March Both, 1874.
Mr.. EDITOR Since the erytalized
glObules of a more tropical cline have
left these towering hills, Nature has
been unfolding her beautiful banner
and giving to view visions of romantic
scenery which fill the hearts and minds
of every taciturn spirit with excessive
joy while gazing upon this feast of noy-
city. Bethany, though rttris uDlbriS, Is
like the tranquil Lucifer that imparts its
mild radience upon the morning dew
and sweetens the cup of life with de-
lightful SAVIOR, her fountain of literature
is forever moist with the richest boon OF
heaven which has cultivated and invigo-
rated the minds of sageS, who now hold
the first hOn0rs of our country, and are
well worthy of their sublime position.
Furthermore when fate calls me to wan
der from my humble domlcil, l look out
upon the right, and then I behold the
husbandman with heFcullan strength
tilling his hills, carpeting his meadows
and Identifying his vineyards. Then
with a covetous eye [ turn upon the left,
where the buds OF the wild flowers are
bursting into roses, and the melOdiOus
notes of the birds are eehOing beneath
the leafy bowers with harmony and love
that would not be surpassed could the
Tyre Orpheus be recalled. For fear that
the above romance will consume too
much of your valuable space for its spe-
cific gravity, will conclude with mar
ration concerning the progress of the
Bethany Grange. On last Friday even
ing (the 9th inst.,) the members OF this
society gave a supper, which must have
been an elegant affair, for every lady
member seemed to be striving for pre-
eminence in the preparation of her lux
uriant and delicious delicacies. We sin
cereIy hope that this society will for
ever retain its present good merits
Respectfully, BILLY BUTTON.

THE following should have appeared in oul
last issue. but was overlooked in the makeup
Of our formsl
1t viii be remembered that in our last
Issue, in mentioning the murder Of Prof.
johnson, the blind Snowman, by man
named Gilbert, we said that Gilbert
claimed to have been instigated to the
crime by Johnson's wife. Atthat time
we did not know Mrs. Jehnson's family
connections, or we would have prompt
" denounced the charge as false in our
opinion. Since then we have learned
that she was a daughter of the late
Henry Stanley, Esq'r, and a sister of our
present efficient Circuit Court Clerk, II.
Nj. Stanley, and we feel sure that we
hazard nothing in saying that She is al
together above the slightest suspicion
of such baseness.

Cooking stoves.

We take pleasure in stating to the peO-
pie of Giles and surrounding counties
that we now have the best stock of
Fashion, Bucks Brilliant and Charter
Oak Cooking Stoves ever brought to this
market, and invite every body to call and
examine them. The two first named
stoves have many superior points which
everybody admits. The chilled iron
fire back alone is well worth a third
more than any stove not having it.

ImDOrtant to Graneers

At the last meeting of the several
Oranges in Giles county, it should have
been unanimously resolved that the
Bucks Brilliant and Fashion Cooking
Stoves are superior to any other, and
every Granger will do we'll to examine
them before buying. They are larger,
heavier, better bakers, more handsome
in design, far more durable than any
stove to be had in the State. They can
be had at Cooper, Eubanks & Co., of
Nashville, and at Wells s. Young, Pu-
laski, Tenn. apr. 2-2U.

We take special pleasure in publish
ing the following overwhelming tribute
TO the worth and responsibility of Mrs.
johnson, from citizens who have known
her long and well =
PROSPECT, MARCH 81, 1874.
EDITOR CITIZEN There appeared in
the last number of your paper a para
graph based upon a statement made by
a Banner correspondents, rejecting seri-
ously upon Mrs. johnson, the widow of
the late Capt. johnson, who was killed
in Lincoln county a few days since
She has been long and faYorably known
by us, and the accusation that she insti-
gated the killing is absurd and is a SLAM
der beyond question. We have not the
remOtest idea that she was implicated in
any manner in the killing of her hus-
band. We make this statement in JUS
tice to an injured lady and request that
you give it place in your paper.

The Convention last Monday

The Convention last Monday.
The convention called for the 9th of
April for the purpose of making nom
nations for tue several county offices
that are to be filed at the Aug. election,
met pursuant to call, and was organized
by the election of Judge Logan to the
Chair, and DR.. 7. r. Harwell, Secretary {.
The chair explained the object of the
convention in a short and forcible
speech, insisting upon the necessity of
OF ganization and the importance of the
convention to this end, urging the dan
ger of defeat to the Conservative party
unless nominations are made, and the
certainty of the success of some other
party if it remains so divided, hostile to
the best interests of the people. He dep
recated the Indifference of the people in
a matter affecting so deeply their inter-
ests, and urged prompt and decisive ac-
ton if they would hope TO escape the
humiliation of seeing radicals elected to
I'LL offices in democratic communities
through their own unfortunate divisions.
A call was made for delegates from
the several districts, where it appears
that no district meetings had been held,
except in the 18th.
1t was then moved by a member that
the convention be postponed until the
list Monday in June, and that the several
districts hold primary meetings on the
first Saturday before that day for the
purpose of selecting delegates to said
convention.
It was then resolved that the proceed
ings of this convention be published in
the CITIZEN, after which the convention
adjourned to meet again LIST Monday in
June.

THE HANmNG.
Bryant's Last Prop Fails Him.
Tomorrow Ends his Fxfstanea.

Ao=AhOFFOH ENDS ms Existence.
Last Saturday Judge Trigg, of the q.
S. District Court, returned the papers
making application for a writ of habeas
corpus in the case OF Progue Bryant,
sentenced to be hanged in Pulaski to-
morrow, April 10Th, refusing TO grant
the application. This was the last hope
of Bryant, and now that it is dispelled
his fate is certain. Tomorrow between
the hours of 10 and O'Clock, PrOgue
Bryant win be hanged by the sheriff, of
Giles county until he is dead. The gal
lows viii not be in the courtyard, as
reported. There will doubtless be a
larger crowd Ia town that day than at
any time since the war to see this con-
Wet pay the awful penalty of death for
the terrible crime of which he has been
convicted. We understand that Bryant
is prepared to die.

Dentistry.

No profession, save medicine, is eapa-
BILE of ontIibuting so much to the allie
Walton of physical suffering, or to the
promotion of good digestion, the foun-
dation of health and happiness, as dem
tistry. Good teeth are above price, and
without them good health or content
men are next to impossible, to say moth
ing of good looks. We would therefore
urge our readers to consult our profess
sional column, select a dentist and have
their mouths repaired if they need it,
We have recently had occasion to make
a special inspection of some difficult fill
ings made by DIR. Hancock, which, so
far as we are capable OF judging, are
excellent. Those in our own mouth
have given entire satisfaction. BY this
we do not mean to disparage the work
of other dentists, for we make no com
parsons, but we could not say less then
this for Dr.. Hancock, after testing his
work as we have.
