FROM DICKSON COUNTY.

EDITORS CHRONICLE: "MOre rain
more rest" the lazy mans cOnsOla-
ton, has been spoken by many of
late, as it has been raining almost
continually. 1t has damaged those
farmers who have tobacco planted
in old ground in low, wet places
the stalk rOts and the tobacco falls
down. As a general thing the corn
and tobacco crops are very good,
only there was not enough corn
planted, therefore some will have to
buy and it will cost them from 81 80
to So 90 per barrel. Wheat is selling
from 81 10 to 81 % per bushel, and
the probabilities are that it viii sell
for more after it is all threshed, as
it is not yielding as much as was
expected. Oats are better through
this neighbOrhOOd than they have
been for years. The hay crop will
be little short of what it usually is.
Cumberland Furnace is making
fourteen tons of pig iron a day, but
none is being sold. Business with
the merchants throughout the cOun-
try is very dull as far as selling dry
goods is concerned, but
"Whislzey, whislxey, bane of life,
Friend OF tumult pain and strife"
is at par, even with a goodly portion
of BartOn's creek combined.
y curious phenomenon was wit
messed here on Wednesday night,
the 25th, between and 10 O'Clock.
a rainbow was seen in the North
west almost as plain as if it had been
in the day time. More than a hun
bred persons observed it as they left
st. James church. Can it be that
the moons rays can form rainbow
as the suns? Some astronomer
will please explain the phenomenon,
as it is something that very few have
ever observed.
Cumberland Furnace has been
hOnored with the presence of the
Rev. William Graham, of Nash
VILE, for the last three weeks, and
the people in this vicinity have had
an opportunity to hear some splen-
did sermons propounded by him at
st. James church. y great many
infants and little children have been
baptized, and now belong to Christ.
May they grow up in purity and
live exemplary lives. Communion
was held on Sunday, the odd inst,
in which christians of all denOmina-
tions participated, though it was
held under the auspices of an Epis-
cOpalian minister. Our Sabbath
School here is in a thriving cOndi-
ton. Little boys, who but few
months ago were on the creek-sides
throwing stones and fishing on the
Sabbath day, can now be seen at, or
on their way to and from Sabbath
school. We have a splendid choir
under the leadership of Mr.. A. Story,
with the beautiful and accomplished
Miss Mona L., of st. Augustine,
Florida, as Organist.
Au revoir. ALPHA.

IN MEHFORIAm.
virginia BELL Hambaugh.

Virginia Bell Hamburger, nee Burgess, was
born in Todd county, KY, Nov. 10, 1896 I;
married to P. c. Hamburger October 10, 1851 I;
protested religion in New Providence in
early life and Joined the NJ. E. Church,
South, in which communion she lived until
the day of her death, which occurred July
q, 1877.
Again the Angel of Death has been sum-
moning away from our midst those who at
Gods altar have worshipped with US in
other days. Sister Hamburger, though a
child of affliction, was in her usual health
| twenty-four hours before the Death Angel
came. Though large and portly in general
appearance, yet she was an intense sufferer
for years. Against her physical infirmities
she struggled persistently, endeavoring TO
fill her place in the Church, Sunday School
and domestic circle. For more than year,
however, she had been compelled to aban-
don her place in the religious and social cir
Gle, and lived for the most part in the bosom
of her own family. To ler family and
domestic interests she was one of the most
devoted women that 1 have ever known.
To her husband she was a help indeed. If
well regulated house, close economy and
indefatigable labor upon the part of COM
panion are auxiIiaries to a mans success in
this life, then Mr.. Hamburger owes much
OF his success to the frugality of his departed
wife. Before her Affections shut her in
from society, her church was sweet resort
to her, and no member of my charge was
more punctual in their attendance than
she. In all the enterprises for the advance
ment of church interests, she was in the
fore front and worked zealously for their
contamination. The church will miss her.
To the preachers she was proverbially hos
pitable. Her fathers house had been the
preachers home in her childhood, and her
life was marked by the same characteristic
hospitality. New Providence has had, for
the most part, young or single preachers
stationed there, and many of our preachers
will remember their welcome to her COM
Portable home.
But she has passed away, and devoted
and diSconsolate husband is bereft of the
warm bosom upon which he has so often
nestled mis- care worn head. Her mother,
so often bereaved, almost weeps herself
away for an only daughter, dearer to her
than life. Her boys, so sad and motherless,
will miss her and feel a loneliness in their
hearts akin to death. The crown that has
fallen from their heads can never be re-
placed. Her sweet little jewel, her bright
eyed babe and only daughter, can never
know how tenderly she loved and cared for
her. But there is a voice coming from Him
who spake as never man spake, "Look unto
me and be saved"
10! the prisoner is released,
Lightened of her fieshly load;
Where the weary are at rest,
She is gathered in to God!
LO! the pain of life is past,
All her warfare now is DER;
Death and hell behind are cast,
Grief and suffering are no more.

Scene Painting.

WE gladly copy the following no.
tice from the Paducah News, learn
ing that Mr.. Riley, the artist spoken
of, is likely to pay us visit here in
GAINESVILLE. Weremember the con-
dition of st. Clair Hall some three
years ago, and can only adequately
describe the dinginess, raggedness
and insufficiency Of the dirty slips of
muslin which passed for scenery
there, by saying that they were al
most as bad as the scenic apparatus
in our own Franklin Hall.
Now will not the prOprietOrS of
Franklin Hall emulate the liberality
of those of st. Clair Hall Paducah ?
1t is a complete wet blanket on ones
enjoyment in witnessing a good play
to have the effect marred by ragged
time worn daubs which only serve
to suggest the idea of what there
ought to be without making any APP
Proclamation even to the realization,
So, gentlemen prOprietOrs, if you
desire in any degree to merit the pa
trOnage which has been 50 literally
conferred upon you, come forward,
give Mr.. Riley a job and render
Franklin Hall what it ought to be:
The people of this city will be
much pleased to learn that Mr.. JeS-
Sc Gardner is having the stage at st.
Clair Hall thoroughly repaired and
renovated. New curtains and new
scenery; in fact everything COM
plete in tirSt-claSS order. Hereafter
when manager wants forest scene
in his play he will not be Mortified
by seeing his wood nymphs dancing
in a garnet, and the bloody murder
er or bold highwayman after being
duly imprisoned according to law
will not be so unreasOnably incOn-
sistent as to appear the next mo-
ment reclining on a grassy bank
in some boundless cOntiguity of
shade" The grooves are all right
now and when the play calls for a
street, street will appear, and other
scenes likewise.
The scene painting is being done
by Mr.. Riley, formerly of Memphis.
Very few persons have been allowed
to see it yet, but we are informed
it is Il model of beauty and art. Mr..
Riley is a professional scenic artist
and sign writer, and can execute any
kind of work in this line to the COM
plete satisfaction of the most fastid-
ious. He is thorough in his business
and such man deserves encourage
ment. We hope he may be liberal
ly patronized."

Idaho springs.

Among the visitors of Idaho
Springs, are A. G. Goodlett and fam
lily, DR.. n. Whitfield, Mrs. Fowlks
and family, of Louisville, Misses
Bryan and Esma Whitfield, and Mr..
Thos. Herndon and family.
1t is strange that some one does
not purchase these Springs and erect
buildings for the accommodation of
the public. The few cabins that are
there are filed every summer, and
those who drink of the waters for
any length of time are surprised at
their notwithstanding properties.
No one suffering from indigestion,
dyspepsia, diseased liver, and gene
raj debility, can fail to be benefited
by the water of Idaho Springs.
Dunbar's Cave, which issecond to
none, save Mammoth Cave, is stu
ated about five hundred yards from
the Sulphur Springs. Here is certain
ly the finest locality in the State for
the successful establishment of wa
tering place.

We gladly receive and place upon
our exchange list the Maryville
Republican" This as faras we are
informed, is the only paper in this
State edited by n cOlOred man. Its
editor Mr.. w. b. Scott, favored
this Office with a visit n few weeks
ago and we found him an intelligent
and unassuming man, thoroughly
alive to the interests of Tennessee
and to those of his own race in it.
He has entirely cut loose from the
mischievOus delusion held by so
many cOlored people, that the inter
estS of that raceare promoted by in
citing hostile feeling against the
white race in the State. He believes
that the interests of both are better
provided for by working together
than by trying to destroy one anoth-
er. We consider his enterprise a
n very useful one, and wish it all the
success he may desire.
