FAsHIoNs.-Ladies' toilets are ever
changing. Sometime for the better
and then again for the worse. We are
happy to see that this season brings
beautiful changes. We have just re-
ceived Smiths illustrated Pattern
Bazaar" for Spring, and it is full
to overfowing of the new and beau
tiful designs, and we must say that
we have not seen its equal in litera-
ture, Stories, Criticism. Jokes, Poetry,
Selections from Great Authors of short
sayings. 1t is a world of the most in
teresting and varied life-t thoughts.
Smiths Pattern Bazaar" has proved
itself superior to every other magazine
in point of elegance, in appearance and
reading matter. Our lady readers will
do well to subscribe for it, as the price
is mere song compared with its in
trinsic value-being only one dollar
and ten cents year. Those who would
like it should send one dollar and ten
cents to A. Burdette Smith, 914 Broad
way, New York City. He gives a
splendid premium, also, to every sub
scriber.

Don't Hack, Hack, Cough, Cough!

Cough is asymptom by which various
diseased conditions of the throat,
bronchial tubes and lungs manifest
themselves. But whether it arises
from the irritation produced in the
throat and larynx by taking cold, from
an attack of Bronchitis, from incipient
Consumption, or from various ether
causes, nothing will allay it more
speedily or cure it more permanently
than DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery 1t does not matter whether
it be recent attack, or a lingering
cough. the Discovery is in either case
equally well adapted for its relief and
permanent cure. In fact, it will cure
cough in one-half the time necessary
to cure 1t with any other medicine,
and it does it, not by drying it up, but
by removing the cause, subduing the
irritation, and healing the affected
parts. No time should be lost in
commencing the use of a proper med
icine for the relief of cough, for
unless this course is pursued, serious
and dangerous disease of the lungs is
liable to result. Golden Medical Dis
covery is sold by all dealers in medi-
cine.A

TEN VIRGINS. This beautiful
drama which has attracted such large
audiences in Nashville, was written by
Miss Eva Brown, an accomplished
young lady formerly resident of this

of the virgins will be reproduced here

of the Baptist church, and will prove
to be a most agreeable entertainment.
We will have more to say upon this
subject when the time for the enter

WE publish. to-day, the inaugural
address of, DR.. Outlaw, the ne Tly
elected Master of Wilson Grange. 1t
abounds with wholesome advice and
suggestions worthy of consideration
the chief of which is the establish
ment, for the county, of an agricultur-
al college. We feel that the time is
not propitious for enterprises of that
kind, but recognizing education as the
great need ofall classes, we are pleased
to publish all schemes and suggestions
looking to the advancement of that
paramount object. The objection
most frequently urged against agricul-
tual colleges, on large scale, is that
the education they bestow, induces
farmers sons to enter upon profess
sional career. This only shows how
ever, that the instruction given is mis-
directed and those who impart it, have
not the right view of the Importance of
agriculture and, therefore, fail impart
the zeal essential to a successful pros
ecution of studies directly applicable
to that, the most important of all avo-
cations. We admit however, that a
liberal education is.of especial import
ance to farmers as necessary not only to
success, but because in their quiet and
somewhat secluded life, they should
have within themselves the means
which knowledge supplies of perenni-
al enjoyment, bringing with it placid
content, Independent of external cir
cumstances. The vacant mind is con-
stantly on the look out for exciting
scenes which rarely fail to offer temp
tations to dissipation and idleness.
which do not beset those whose wider
range of useful knowledge makes them
self-suficient as having within them
sources of enjoyment unknown to the
uneducated. Agricultural schools con-
Quoted with an eye to this view of the
subject, would do incalculable good,
not only by making enlightened far
mers, but by placing within their reach,
the antidote to temptations which lead
to vicious habits, and often, to ultimate
ruin of morals and fortune.

The Smelling Match

which was gotten up by some of the
ladies of the Methodist church, came
off last Tuesday night at Franklin Hall.
There was quite respectable audience
of the best citizens of the city and
vicinity present. Prot. j. NJ Wright
was the teacher, and Hons. G. A Hen
ry and d. N. Kennedy, Judges. Hon.
j. f. House and D. C.Smith were APP
pointed captains of the two classes.
After some difficulty they finally sue
ceeded in getting eighteen to face the
audience and let them know what they
knew about the "spelling-book." Pro-
fessor Wright started themin words of
two syllables and gradually carried
themon in the book, anda he progress
ed the class grew beautifully less by de-
grees, until there were but three left to
each side. At this jnncture the word
"ubiquity" was given out and missed
by the remaining class. Then. to decide
the matter, the judges permitted the
captains, who had taken no part in the
contest, to come in and decide it.
Captain Smith had the first spell"
at the word discipline" aud missed
it, when Col. House turned him
down" and won the prize.
The audience did not agree with the
judges in their award of the prize be-
lieving that it should have been given
to one of the contestants.
Little Sammie Wyatt, Earnest
Beach and Sammie Hyman, did some
good spelling, and we think it is due
to Sammie Wyatt to say that most of
the audience were of opinion that he
was entitled to the prize.
The audience were well entertained
and seemed to enjoy themselves
throughout the proceedings. We are
of the opinion that this contest should
be repeated, and that it be understood
that the prize shall be awarded to an
actual contestant.

DIED.

Thursday, the 18th inst, at o'clock p. NJ =,
of pneumonia, Mrs. ELLA GLENN, wife OF
James l.. Glenn, Esq, of this city, and
daughter of Maj. John Poindexter, OF
Christian county, Ky.
1t is indeed seldom that we are called
upon to mourn the death of one in every
way so amiable and lovely. The heavy
and affecting blow which separated her
from the society of a husband and four
children, and large circle of friends and
relatives, fell with j suddenness that added
to the anguish which the shock occasioned.
From the first moment of her illness she
believed her recovery doubtful, and her
heart was fully prepared for the trying
separation from all she loved on earth.
To a mind stored with useful informa-
ton, she added those numerous excellen-
| cies of character and that tender attach
ment to her children and her home, which
are to be found associated only with per-
| feet sweetness and evenness of disposition.
To the sick of her neighborhood she was
| a prompt and assiduous friend, ready Mt
all times to console by her sympathy and
relieve by her kind offices.
A fond and affectionate wife, a mother,
doating and watchful, even beyond the
tabled fidelity of the female heart, a daugh-
ter dutiful and kind, a neighbor and friend
attentive and attached, how great must be
the void her removal has Occasioned.
Yet the memory of her virtues will live
within the hearts of all to whom she was
allied by kindred or by friendship, while
the knowledge that her high and holy
duties, as a wife, "a mother and christian.
were not neglected, will soothe the agony
| of the bereavement and sustain the hope
| that in the mansions of the blest she has
realized the portion of the ransomed and
| redeemed,-"a crown immortal" 1--WE.
