Little Susie Cheairs Figuers, daughter
of Mr.. Il. N. and Mrs. Hattie G. Figuers,
of franklin, one of the sweetest and
loveliest flowers, that ever doomed on
this grief stricken world of ours, has
passed away to her home in the skies.
Three weeks ago we witnessed the hapN
piness of her mother and father, as with
pride and joy they looked upon the
bright and beautiful face OF their sweet
babe-their first born-their only child.
The little one, unable to utter in words
the pleasure which their presence and
kind caresses afforded, would raise her
eyes and offer to their loving hearts a
smile OF fond recognition. Little did
they think that so soon they would be
called on to give up this jewel of their
hearts, which God had kindly loaned to
them for the brief period of few
months. While the parents were on
visit to relatives in Columbia, little Su-
sic was taken suddenly sick. The best
medical skill and the kindest attention
proved unavailing, and after week of
suffering, death came and released her
pure spirit. Now, sweet cheFub babe,
thy sufferings are all DER. Thy tongue,
no longer trammeled by the infrmities
of earth, is uttering sounds as sweet as
the whisperings of an angel. In the
still hours of night thy spirit may be

Death is always at work. With icy fin
gers it plucked another beautiful fiowe
from our midst last Friday night, in the
person OfSUSIE CHEAIRS, infant daughter
of Thomas NOrfieet and Hattie p. Figuers
aged about seven months. They were out
on visit to their relatives, when their lit
tie cherub suddenly sickened and died. Il
was buried in Rose Hill Cemetery Sunday
morning.
How bright and sweet was it's dear young
face,
With its angel looks and its infant grace.
The strange little violet of human birth
was too fragile for the storms and shadows
of this sin-Stricken world, and God trans
planted it to a more cOngenial clime-tC
regions where sin can sow no seed. Hel
little life was short as an infants dream
and ended as the rosy tinted wreath OF
mist passes away at close of day.
"Think not of the loved one lying
In the cold grave all alone,
But the white robed cherub joining
With the host around Gods throne,
Chanting songs of alteration
To the great eternal One.
Saved by Him who said in mercy
Let thy little children come
To the Fathers mansion holy,
There to find a heavenly home
There shall you regain your lost one
Where no death or partings come"

Ithas always been the case, and always
will be, that at the end of long dry spell,
the rain will come. This vas verified
on Friday the 10th inst, when this neigh
borhood had most refreshing rain, which
has revived all the growing crops. Corn
is beginning to grow and look green, and
the rain has brought up millet and Hun
garian grass. The cotton is white with
blooms, but it it is rather small for the
season. We feel thankful for the bounti-
full wheat crop that has been harvested.
On the 9th of this month, at the resi-
dence of his daughter at Rock Spring
Mr.. Arson Fisher departed this life, aged

Rock Spring Cemetery. On the 10th, the
widow Huey, m6ther of A. J. Huey, and
step-mother Of J. Il. Huey, died. Mrs.
Huey was model woman, and well be-
liked by all of her neighbors.
The health of this neighbOrhood was
very good until the last few days. The
Doctor has had several calls.

Last Friday evening at six o'clock, il
commenced raining st Columbia and
continued until nine O'Clock of the
same evening. The clouds camefrom
the southwest, and gradually spread, or
seemed to spread, over the entire coun-
ty. We learn that the rain was slighter
cast and south of Columbia than it was
here and further west and north. Alto
gether, however, it was a glorious rain,
and has done and will continue to do
an untold amount of good to the corn
and cotton crops of our county Corn,
especially. was needing rain greatly,
and much or it would have been utterly
worthless II the drouth had continued
much longer. Some of the earlier fields
OF corn, on poor land, were almost past
redemption, but all young corn will
turn out well yet if the rains come down
often enough from this time forward.

return about the first of September.
The Rev. Mr.. Sidener, of Kentucky
preached at the Christian Church in
this place on the second Sunday in this
month, by the invitation of Mr.. Fraser
the regular officiating minister. The
Rev. James Bradshaw, of CoYington,
Ga, preached at Evergreen Church in
the evening of the second Sunday. Mr..
Bradshaw was born and raised in this
community. He is brother-in>law OF
Gov. John G. Brown, having married
his sister. Evergreen Church in the
last twenty-five years, has turned ont
four preachers-Rev. James Bradshaw,
Rsv. James N. Mcdonald, now living in
Williamson county, Rev. John Howard,
now living in Maury county, and Rev.
James f. Gracy, now living in Missouri.
All of these men were born and raised
in halt a mile of the church, which
speaks well for the community in which
Evergreen is situated. If all the
churches in the land had sent out
as many preachers as this church in the
same length of time, and all were doing
as good service as these four men are,
what an army of soldiers would be en-
listed in the Saviors cause?
We have had copious showers of rain
the past week, which have been great
advantage to the growing crops. Tie
farmers look more cheerful.
A gentleman stayed all night recently
in our village who lives about fifteen
or twenty miles east of Buford's Station.
He says the roaring noise made by the
locomotives on the railroad, can be dis
tinctly heard that distance. He further
stated that there were a certain class of
individuals living in that region not be-
ing able to account for the noise, had
become very much alarmed, and had
prophesied that the world would come
to an end some time next fall. They
must be of the same class of persons
who reside around Bald Mountain, N.
@. 1t may be that their ancestors emil
grated from somewhere whereabouts, as
a good many of the first settlers of Ten
nessee came from the old North State.
If this class of individuals have never
seen railroad with a train gliding
along at the rate of thirty mills per hour
if they will visit the road-they must
not come at night. If they do,
they will think that his Satanic Majes-
ty with all his host, are on a general
tour through the earth, seeking whom
soever they may devOur. They will see
greater wonder than DrybOnes saw
when he visited Bald Mountain, and
there saw that very uncouth individual
with his two boys keeping up smoke
on the top of the mountain, and he with
four mules hitched to an old dilapidated
wagon with few loose plank and stones
in it, driving at a furious rate round the
top of the mountain, oyer very rough
road made for the occasion. All done
for the purpose of alarming the inhabi~
tants in the vicinity, and make them
believe that the mountain was just on
the eve of an eruption, and to furnish
sensational articles for certain class of
nc
