FREE LEcTURE-Rev. James W.
Shearer, who is now on a visit to his
brother, DIR. Shearer, will deliver a
lecture in the College Chapel, on Mon
day night next, beginning at Z o'clock.
In this lecture, Mr.. Shearer will ex-
plain his new method of teaching the
English language by means of Pho
netic notation, which renders the Ian
guagc practically phonetic and must
cal without at all altering the present
printed page. His system has been
universally commended at the leading
institutions of America from the Uni
versity of Virginia to Boston. Of it
the Yale College Courant, in recent
number, says: "The scheme is the
result of most assiduous and long
protracted study, careful observation
and happy invention. No other
scheme Of diacritical notation ap-
proaches it In simplicity and thor
oughness. 1t seems to accomplish all
that such scheme could propose to
itself. The success seems to be so far
complete and to justify the confident
hope of the inventor and author that
it will initiate a new era in Primary
Instruction, in Lexicography and in
the study of our language by foreign
ers."
The public is invited to attend, and
especially teachers and all interested
in any way in education and the SIM
plifcation of present modes of teach
ing the anomalies of our language.

DURING the interval between the
last issue of our paper aud the pres
ent, the Christmas Holidays have been
enjoyed by our people, and we trust it
was season of true enjoyment to both
old and young. In this city, so far as
we know, everything passed of pleas
antly and we are truly glad to note So
briefly was duly observed by nearly all
classes. The year 1874, which, in very
many respects, was the most remarka-
BILE in our history, has gone to join those
beyond the food, and another year,
1875, has been ushered in. With the
New Year many new leaves have been
turned in the shape of new and we
trust firm resolves by all to endeavor
to do better for the future. In retros-
pecting the past year, let us endeavor to
profit by its experience, and may the
failure to discharge our duties both to-
ward God and man, nerve us to better
deeds and actions during the present
one. May each and all enjoy happy
and prosperous New Year, consecrat-
ing our best energies to the advance
ment in Tod cause in the world, so that
We may be fully prepared when time
with us here shall cease, to enter upon
that life of joy that shall never end.

THE entertainment prepared by the
ladies of the Methodist church, for
the benfit Of the Sunday School pupils
came off on Christmas eve. The
church was beautifully decorated with
flowers and evergreens, and the large
supply of presents were neatly arranged
in full view of the vast audience.
Some appropriate pieces were recited
and sung by little Misses Nicholson.
Atkins and Plummer, which elected
the applause and admiration Of all.
The manner of distributing the pres
ents was admirably planned, and gave
general satisfaction. The name of
each pupil was drawn, one at time,
and the gift held at the time by Mr..
Caldwell, was given in regular rota-
ton as the names were called. The
boys drew a preponderance of the
dolls, which caused much merriment
among the little folks. The whole af-
fair was we'll planned and executed,
rendering anything like discrimina-
ton impossible. The very best order
and all agreed that it was
the best conducted affair of. the kind
that has ever been gotten up in our
city. ~ r. ~ =.

WHAT COUNTY PAPERS Do.-An
exchange combats with considerable
vigOr The argument that the city week
lies are cheaper and better than the
country papers, because they give more
columns of reading for the money.
Do the city papers, it asks. ever give
you any home news? Do they ever
say anything in regard to your own
county? Nothing. Do they contain
notices for your schools, churches.
meetings, improvements, and hundreds
Of other local matters of interest,
which your county paper publishes
without pay? Not an item. Do they
ever say aword calculated to draw at
tention to your county and its numer-
Gus thriving towns AMI aid in their
progress and enterprise? Not word.
And yet there are men who take such
contracted views of this matter that
unless they are getting as many square
inches of reading matter in their own
paper as they do in city paper, they
think they are not getting the worth of
their money. 1t reminds us of the
person who took the largest pair of
boots in the box, because they cost the
same as u pair much smaller, that fit
ted him.

MOSES r. PARRISH, one of the ed
itors and proprietOrs of the Bolivar
Bulletin, died 2lst ult., of congestion
of the lungs. In an obituary notice
of the deceased, the Memphis Appeal
says he removed from that city to Boil
war in 1865, and, in company with
John B. Miller, established the Bulle-
tin, in the management and editing of
which he met with signal success. The
publication of the Bulletin has been
continued up to the present time, the
interest of Mr.. Miller having changed
hands several times until it was pur-
chased by Mr.. J. NJ. Hubbard, with
which gentleman Mr.. Parrish was in
partnership up to the time of his
death. The deceased was a man of
many virtues, and if he hadany faults
such were hidden by the good qualities
that warmed his heart and ennobled
his life. No citizen of Bolivar had
more friends, warmer personal attach
ments or influential associations than
Mr.. Parrish, and his death will be
truly and sincerely deplored, not only
in that community, but among those
who elsewhere knew him we'll.

THE year just closed, will be MEM
orable for its floods, its devastating
cyclones and its parching and wither-
ing drouth, all of which combined,
blasted many hope and substituted
with suffering and poverty, the cheer
ing prospects for an increase of mate
rial wealth and home comforts. But
such physical infections, because una
voidable by the limited providence of
man, are more endurable and easily
remedied, than the political ills inflicted
by usurped power exercised for the
basest purposes of the basest of men.
Adverse seasons, in the operations of
natural laws, are remediable by the
same laws, but lost liberty is not east
ly regained, because the power that
destroys it breaks down the integrity
and manhood of the people without
which there is reliable security for free
government. Recognizing this fact,
the usurping despots, at Washington,
are striving to crush outall the elements
conservative of freedom wherever
they manifest vitality-in the South,
first, because it is popular with the
dominant party to insult and Cypress it
in the North, whenever the propisi-
Gus hour arrives.

Death Of an Old Citizen:

Mr.. VIM. Broaddus. one Of our
oldest and most respected citizen, died
in this city on the 18th ult., at the resi-
dence of his SON. law, j. NJ. Rice,
at the advanced age of 81 years.
An appropriate and impressive fu-
neral sermon was delivered by Rev. J..
K. Plummer, at the Methodist church
on Tuesday, 10Th. to a large assem-
blage Of friends and acquaintances,
after which the remains were conveyed
to Greenwood Cemetery. Here the
burial service was concluded by Mr..
Plummer, and the body consigned to
its final resting place.
Mr.. Broaddus moved to this city
in 1895. and engaged in the mercantile
persuit. In the many years he was en-
gagged in active business he sustained
throughout a character above re-
proach. He was an energetic bust
ness man. of great decision of charac-
ter and unfinchingintegrity, andabove
all, he was a consistent christian and
jealous member of the Methodist
church. We we'll remember, forty
years ago, our parents came to Clarks-
vile, and located as neighbors to Mr..
Broaddus' family. They were neigh
bors in the true sense. His wife was
one of the best women we ever knew
Intelligent, self-sacri6cing and de-
voted christian. She was to him a
help-mate in all the relations of life.
He has gone to join her in heaven. May
the surviving members Of this family
be fully prepared, when the summons
shall come, to meet the sainted father
and mother on the other bright shore.
