General Nathan Bedford For
rest, the Confederate cavalry Of
ficer, died at the residence Of his
brother, Col. Jesse Forrest, at
Memphis, on the Goth ult. He
was born in Bedford county,
Tennessee, in 1921, and removed
to Mississippi with his father in
1884, where he worked with en-
ergy at farming, gaining his edu-
cation in the winter months
Subsequently he entered into
business at fernando, and in
1852 he became a real estate
broker at Memphis. He acquir-
ed a large fortune, which he rap
idly increased when he went into
the business of cotton growing
in Coahoma county, Mississippi.
When the war broke out he es-
poused the Southern cause. He
enlisted in the army as private
in June, 1861, but a month later,
at the request of Gov. Harris, he
raised a cavalry regiment, equip
ping his men largely from his
own means. He was chosen
Lieutenant Colonel, and his first
engagement was with the United
States gunboat Conestoga, at
Canton Landing. He was at
Fort Donelson and escaped with
his men before the flag of truce
was displayed. With his force
increased to ten companies, and
with the rank of Colonel, he
took an active part in the battle
OF Shiloh and was wounded. In
July, 1862, he rose to Brigadier-
General, and the following year
was transferred to North Missis-
sippi, taking command of For
rests Cavalry Department. In
1865 he became Lieutenant-Gen
eral and was finally obliged to
surrender at GAINESVILLE in May
OF the same year. AT the close
OF the war he was chosen Presi-
dent OF the Selma, Marion and
Memphis Railroad, which he
held until 1874 Gen. Forrest
has been sick for some time, but
his friends had hoped, until
within a day or two of his death,
that he might recover.

Our twelve weavers, driven by the
pinching want of their families to
make vigorous effort for relief by
putting back TO back, shoulder to
shoulder and hand TO hand, fora steady
pull together, being mindful of the
power OF justice, announced, in the
very first paragraph of their article
Of association, that equity should be
the guiding star of their future oper-
atoms, and, as significant of such pur-
pose, named their society, 1.-THE Roch-
dale Society of Equitable Pioneers,
determined to break through the dis
tress that embarrassed them and hew
out new path for the man of labor,
along which he might find the way to
a better condition of life.
As plainly to he inferred in the out.
set. these men practiced the most strin-
gent economy, not disdaining TO save
a penny. well aware that pennies make
dollars, and thus they put by about five
cents week each until they had few
dollars to commence business on.
BY a strict cash business there were
no bad debts to lose, and goods could be
purchased at the very lowest figures
consequently, the pioneers could sell
below the ordinary price of country
stores and make fair profit.
None but pure goods were ever
bought or sold; full weights and meas
ures were always given; goods were
sold to non-membeTs at the same price
as to IL Jers, but members received
back dividends quarterly, in proper
ton to the amount of stock owned
and amount of goods purchased by
themselves; the founders, however,
wisely limited the amount of stock SO
that no person could gain an undue
power in the association.
Ii was found that ten per cent. over
cost, when the capital could be turned
four times year, yielded a handsome
profit after paying expenses. The
business soon expanded into general
merchandising as prosperity gave
encouragement and ability and, from

mining, milling, farming, public
