Thursday last Judge HickersOn pro-
nOunced the sentence of death on l.. n.
Gilbert, having OveTruled the motion for
a new trial. When requested to stand
up, the prisoner arose, folded his arms
across his breast, and faced the Judge
with bold, not to say, insOlent cOunte-
nance, on which not the fainteSt trace of
emotion was visible. During the deliv-
cry of the sentence, which was peculiar
" impressive, he maintained the same at
titude, aud at its conclusion, took a seat
with a smile on his face, which seemed
to indicate his contempt for the whole
proceeding. In fact his conduct previ-
Gus to, and during the trial, has been
such as TO withdraw from him any SYM
pathy which his unfortunate condition
may have excited in the hearts of chart
table persons. He has never displayed
the slightest symptoms of remOrse; on
the contrary, his behavior was caIcula-
ted to create the impression that he glO-
ried in the crime which has already
brought him to the foot of the gallOws.
1t is possible that his bold and unfeeling
conduct was inspired by the belief that
he would ultimately escape punishment;
and a remark of his, made Immediately
after the delivery of the sentence, that he
"didn't care d-n for this little circuit
court when there was a bigger one in
Nashville" strengthens this opinion.
He has taken an appeal to the Supreme
Court, which meets in December. and. in
the meantime, he will have ample time
to mediate on his condition in the Jail
at Nashville, where he is now confined.

Base Ball.

The Wild Cats OF Pulaski played the
Non NOmCn Club of Blooming Grove
last Saturday evening ut the latter's
grounds, beating them in a score of ~
to 2G. y great number of spectators
were present.
The DiXies of Pulaski beat the wasps
of Elkton at Elkton last Saturday even
ing in the presence of a large assembly
of ladies' and gentlemen, scoring 40 to s.
The Wasps of ElktOn will visit Pulaski
soon and renew the contest.
The Dixies and Wild Cats of Pulaski,
we were informed, will play a game at
their grounds next Saturday evening.
The Red Stockings of st. Louis beat
the Links of Nashville at Nashville last
Friday by 10 to t. The z. d 1. put
the spectators at 1900 and the Banner,
at 500. Which reporter was drunk?
Mr.. lack LasSeter returned last
Saturday evening after being absent
three or four months in Georgia. His
brother, Mr.. Rollin Lasseter, and him
self, are champions in base ball circles.
If the Non NOmens are waiting to
win a name before they assume one
they will have to either brush up or
tackle some less-pTacticed club than
the Wild Cats.
That was a singing defeat the Wasps
sustained. But the taile is not finished
yet.
The Wild Cats tear up everything
they meet. Strange, but they have
never scored on scratch yet.

GB An East liill man is building
himself a handsome addition To his res
ldence, and he spends his leisure time
standing around on one foot i'm the
front yard looking at it and cussin, the
carpenters. He had seen it in every
posi- Die aspect from the ground last sat
uruay evening and he concluded To 90
on top and see how it looked to a man
up Tree lie went. and while he was
counting TIE knots in the shingles and
sHulhg up and down the comb looking
at MS Iurhlp patch i'm the back garden,
sOile young ladies' who happened to be
Inere slipped the ladder away and left
MN nigh and dry between heaven and
earth. He laughed at the Joke "A while
and then told them to put the ladder
back, but they couldn't lift it, and if
Ihey could have done so they wouldn't.

him adieu and left the premises. There
ne was with the supper bell ringing
and rain coming up, with no chance
20 get TO the one or escape the other
without risking his neck by letting
loose and trusting To luck and a soft
place on the ground. He sat there and
worked his mouth all to himself as if
he would have said something if he
cohId think of anything appropriate,
olL ne couldn't pick out words from his
vocabulary that would express his views
Of the situation, and so he commenced
to look around TOR good place to
camp. After while some negroes
passed, heard his appeals for help and
came in and let him down. Most of
men would have got mad, but he was
too smart for that. He Rose above all
idea of revenge, but at the same time
he determined never to Rose above the
caves of that house again without TAX
ing six ladders and 1900 feet of rope
with him.

SHfferer.-An exchange says neural
gia or tOothache may be instantly re-
Iieved by an application of bruised horse
radish to the wrist. If the pain is on
both sides of face or head apply the rad
dish on both wrists; il on one side, ap-
ply 1t on that side only. You might
try this for yourself. 1t cannot posi-
bly, do any harm.
Some time ago when whOoping cough
was so prevalent here, a correspondent
asked us FOR remedy. We answer
through the following extract: A friend
OF ours, says the Cincinnati Commercial,
requested US TO say that If parents,
whose children had the whoOping
cough, would purchase elder berries
from the drug stores, and make a syrup
of molasses, by boiling we presume to a
fair consistence, and then feeding it by
spoontuIs through the day it would af-
ford immediate and certain relief. 1t is
an easy remedy, cheap and safe, and we
hope those who are interested in allevi-
ating distress in children viii avail
themselves of this relief at once.
The Gallatin Examiner answers a uni
verSal enquiry as follows: Two or three
weeks ago Mr.. John z. Andrews told
Us that little bunch of smart weed
would drive the worms out of cabba-
ges when they were heading. We had
some cabbages that were completely
riddled and looked like Just so much
network. We put in a bunch of the
weed and the cabbage heart is growing
all right without any sign of insect.
Use 1t and see for yourselves.

a correspondent asks "What is
Giles dOing?" win she send specimens
of her products to the great Centennial
where representatives from all parts of
the civilized world will congregate to
inspect? Or will she fold her arms,
and lose this opportunity to show her
greatness, while less favored sections
will reap the harvest? No county can
show greater variety of farm products,
grown to greater perfection, than Giles.
None can excel us in climate, soil,
timber, water, sc. Then let us
show to the world what we are,
what we have done and what we
can do. Let each and every private
citizen contribute SOBlethiRg-if it is
only pcice of timber, or a specimen of
corn, wheat, fruit. A little trouble and
a small quantity of green backs might
be Instrumental in bringing capital and
live men among ne, both Of which we
sadly need.

The Banner says that the recent wet
weather has taught the farmers of Mid
die Tennessee lesson, and that here
after they propose to get their wheat
crop under protection safe from the
rain, and let other crops stand their
chance afterward, on the principle that
bird in the hand is worth two in the
bush.
We trust the Banner knows whereof
It speaks, but we fear the lesson will be
forgotten before another harvest. They
have had the same lesson repeatedly
before and paid no attention to it,
This has been a sort of hobby with the
CITIZEN for years. We cannot under
stand why any sensible farmer will
tug and toll and fret and worry and
pillow and dig and SOW and reap all the
year to make a crop, and then after it is
made, make a convenience rather than a
duty of houseing and taking care of it.
Every man should make il an invariable
rule to save a crop already made before
giving a single day or hour to anything
else.

For the Citizen


Ifthe Joys of life have faded,
And our dearest hopes are dead;
Ifclouds tho light have shaded,
And darkness round US spread,
The clouds may swiftly vanish,
Or show their sunny side;
The darkness quickly Danish
Before the silvery tide
a light may shine to brighten
Our life though sad and brief,
And hope may smile 70 Tighten
The burden OF our grief.
If friends have ali departed,
And we're left TO weep alone;
If sad and broken-he
There's none to hear Us moan,
a friend may still be near rs
In the deepest of our gloom:
y loving vol e may cheer us,
And bid our joys to bloom.
A face may still be smiling
With Joy that we shall share;
A kind heart still beguihnG
Our hearts with love and care.
If we are sad and lonely,
And our sorrow is 80 deep
That the heart is bitter only,
While our eyes refuse to weep,
Then trouble never borrow,
But Gull the full-blown rose,
And pain and grief and sorrow
Will yield to sweet Tepose.
The heart viii loose its sadness,
And Joy will Danish pain;
The eyes viii beam with gladness,
And peace will smile again.
Hope, with brightest sunshine
viii stay our rising fears;
And love her sweetest smiles entwine
To mingR with our tears.
Then life will be a holiday
And pleasures not be brief,
Our face, instead of sad, be gay,
And smile away our grief.

Tanner, the senior member is widely
known as a capitalist and one of the
most successful business men in North

own account, for the past twenty
years, and no one understands the

Dobbins, late with Gilbert, Parkes 81

without a rival in the cotton trade,

Sheperd, Hooper & Co., are both first

the highest moral worth, and are just
" entitled to the confidence and

Since the first of June, wheat has ad-
vanced thirty-three cents in the Chicago
market. II the reports at hand are reli-
able, the wheat crop of Europe will be
almost an entire failure, and consequent
~ the demand upon our products will be
unprecedented This viii insure the
producer good paying prices for the
products of his farm for ut least a year

The Chattanooga Times threatens the
exposure of a Reputation ''job" by a
Memphis railroad ring, which, after
bearing Tennessee bonds to a conven-
iently low figure, bought enough to pay
the debt of the aforesaid railroad to the
State, but, taking advantage of the rise,
after passage of the funding act, sold
them out at profit instead of paying
them owe to the State. 1t intimates the
purpose of the same ring now to be to
depress bonds to 80 cents and load mn
again, and then put through a scaling
process of 40 per cent, and make 100 per
cent. out of the investment.
