Mr.. Hayes may feel very kindly toward the
South, and may intend to treat the people Of
that unfortunate section with ordinary fairness
and common courtesy-he certainly ought to,
as they had the power to keep him out of the
presidency but would not exert it-but that his
immediate personal friends have no such ioten-
ton is evident from the fact that those who
accompanied him from Columbus to Washing
loo, 40 the accounts of the trip read, sang 10th
ing but "Sherman marching through Georgia. "

10 Cure Chronic Diarrhea.

A Mr.. c. Lewis of Columbus, Ga.
sent the following prescription to
Gen. Forrest, for the cure os the
above disease, of which he died. 1t
reached him the day of his death,
too late ID find him alive. 1t is GER
tpinly innocent and inexpensive, if
not effectual:
Take two ounces of mutton suet
fresh J, put it in pint of new milk,
let it simmer on the fire (but not
boil) until the suet Is melted
and fully united with the milk.
Then let it cool so that the patient
can drink 1t. Let him drink all he
cen of it as often as he can do so. 1t
is little disagreeable to take at
first, but as it contains nothing OBJ
aoxious in a strict sense, there is
no reason why a soldier who never
feared to face death, should be
afraid 70 use it.
Now, sir, one word of explana-
ton. /, of course. am an entire
stranger to General Forrest, and at
one time, during the war, was bit
terly opposed to him. But that has
all passed away; and when / saw
that he was a sufferer from a dis
ease which l feel confident can be
cured, I felt il q duty TO act as
have done. A fair trial, am sure,
will satisfy HIM also.

Esq Alexander, acting Coroner,
held an inquest over the body of
jack Mcbride, a colored man, last
Sunday, on the farm of Mrs. Moore,
on Haywood's creek, who was acct
IDENTIFY killed the day before. He
and another negro named Bill Jor-
don were playing with a loaded
gun, so Jordon says, pitching it
muzzle foremost from one to an
other, when it went off and the ball
penetrated McBride's breast near
the heart, from which he died in a
few minutes. This is substantially
the jury's verdict, though they were
not entirely satisfied that Jordon
did not kill hun with intent, as the
proof showed that they had been
on bad terms.

Chips.

Like "Micawber," 1 have been
waiting for something to 'turn up"
to write for the CITIZEN, am still
waiting, but have concluded to wait
no longer.
Last Wednesday night party of
young ladies and gentlemen met at
Mr.. Wits, where they had quite a
lively time. Unfortunately the
night was very dark and very few
attended. Among the number in
attendance was MISS Fannie Parker
from Dry Creek, lovely, fasclna
ting belle, whose wit and intelli
gence were the admiration of all.
Mr.. Henry Puryear and his beauti
full and most lovable daughter were
also present. The above men
toned, together with the three
charming sisters, formed a galaxy
of such loneliness that if the young
gentlemen were at all susceptible to
the darts OF Cupid they must hav e
yielded to his conquering power.
We hope co have many more such
pleasant occasions as the holidays
approach.
Messrs. Witt and Harwell visited
Nashville this week. Mr.. Merit
Harwell was in the neighborhood a
few days ago. His many friends
were glad to get glimpse of his
genial face once more, and hope he
will return again.
Mr.. Drake from Lawrence was
visiting Mrs. Harwood's last week.
He was suffering from neuralgia in
his eyes and was almost blind, yet
was as lively and interesting as In
by-g days.
The death angel has again tapped
his dreary wings DER our homes
and this time he carried away sweet
little Lizzie Graham, infant daugh-
ter of our worthy citizen w. Tarply.
She died of whooping cough, which
has been so fatal among children in
this country. While her friends and
relatives were mourning DER her
clay, theRecording Angel turned over
the golden pages of the shook OF
life'' and wrote, Earth has sent an
other little bud to bloom and live
with us in Paradise" One by one
the Savior is gathering the sweet
little lambs to his bosom and one by
one we hope to meet them on the
shining shore. RoxANA.

DR.. Rivers Of Martin College Takes
Issue With Prot. Joynes Of Van
derhilt University.

l am not fond of controversy and
it is always questionable whether a
controversy about words may not
be interminable. What Is called
good usage is by no means invaria-
Bile. 1t is therefore with some de-
gree of reluctance that / shall at
tempt briefly to point out an error
committed by so polished scholar
as Prof. Joynes of the Vanderbilt
University. In a criticism upon
Richard Grant White he asserts
that we should never say / feel bad.
but always 1 feel badly. Both
these expressions are correct, but
they have very different meanings.
~ feel bad" means the same as Il
feel blue In this expression bad
qualities the subject of the verb. /
feel badly means that my sense of
touch is imperfect. see badly and
l hear badly are analogous express
ions. The latter implies that do
not hear well and the former that
my vision is impaired. Badly is
used to qualify the verb feel and
cannot mean that the subject / is
in a bad state, except as to his
sense of touch or feeling.
The Professors argument is that
l feel bad Is incorrect because is
cannot be substituted for feel. ]
feel blue he says is the same as am
blue, but feel bad cannot be trans
lated to / am bad. Bad is a very
equivocal word and its meaning is
determined by it's relation to other
words. As used in this sentence it
has the same meaning precisely az
] feel blue, or | feel low spirited, l
feel to be in bad condition, feel
to be il a blue state. The express
ions are frequently synonymous, the
only difference being that l feel bad
may apply either to the physical
condition and to the mental. She
looks cold and she looks coldly
have Just the same difference in
meaning as the two expressions /
feel bad and 1 feel badly. She
looks cold, means that she appears
by her looks to be cold. She looks
coldly means that her look is one
of coldness-not one of affection.
The adjective cold modifies the sub
ject she. The adverb coldly modi-
fies the verb and clearly expresses
the manner in which she looks, not
the condition in which she is.
beg In conclusion to express
my great admiration for the char
acter of Prof. Joynes as gentleman
and scholar, and to say that l regard
him as an ornament to the State.
His efforts in behalf of our mother
tongue is worthy OF all praise,

1t is said that Capt. Dick Jones
had a cook upon his ranch which he
wished to discharge but who would
not be discharged. He determined
to starve her out and quit buying
provisions, and it is said she still
staid there as long as she could
walk. When at last she left, Capt.
Dick came to town and laid in a
stock of elegant provender and gave
dinner and called in Lieut.. Tom
Meredith to rejoice with him, and
they sat down to an inverted goods
box covered with a newspaper and
had cornbread and onions. The
Lieut.. doesn't eat onions.

Now that our farmers have fin
ished their wheat planting opera
tions for this season, they may be
heard now and then discussing the
leading agricultural issues of the
day, while the Juveniles (our old

investigate the mat-matrimonial
question. Some of our gallant
young villagers, especially Mr.. La
fayette Cole and Mr.. Thomas A.
Baker, occasionally participate in
the exciting pleasures of a noctur-
nal "d-dear hunt" while Others oil
them indulge in the milder revelries
of croquet. The remainder of them
being professional men and politi
clans seldom seek amusement.

brother of our fellow-citizen David II
Parsons, and himself resident of this
county, aged Al years 10 months and
day.
Deceased was born and always lived
in Giles county, and to his great credit
it can be said that he left not an enemy
behind. He was a devoted father and
husband and has left a wife and five
children to-grieve for him. Deceased
never made a public profession of chris
tianity until after he was afflicted with
mental arrangement, brought about by
his serious and unceasing contempla-
ton of religion. His friends have
great reasons to hope that he expert
enced sound change of heart before his
death and that he now dwells with the
Father of Light. or his immediate fam
lily only three survive him, his brother
Col. David IL. Parsons, and his two sis
tiers Mrs. J. G. Sanders and Mrs. Jno
K. Bittick.
