DEATH OF An OLD CITIZEN.

PSofeaSOr Joseph BaPbfeFe Goes 90
his Rest az BfxtY.hve Years of
Age.
Professor Joseph Barbiere, who was
we'll known a generation ago as one Of
the most accomplished musicians OF the
Southwest, died last Wednesday morn
ing at Collierville, in this county, after a
lingering illness of several weeks. He
was the father OF our fellow-citizsn Major
Joseph Barbiere, and father in.law of
Mr.. ]. W. Scott, cotton buyer at Collier
vile, and Of Mr.. j. p. Gentry, editor Of
the Collierville Herald. Professor Bar.
biere was born at Msrsailles, France, in
the year 1910, and was therefore about
sixty-fve years old at the time of his
death. BE received a good musical edu-
cation, auG came to this county, first
landing at Boston about the year
1880, with the famous Mile Celeste,
with whom he travelled as a mem
Der OF her company for a consider
able time in her triumphal tour over the
country. He came to Memphis and set
tied at an early day, though in what year
we are not advised; but he raised a large
family here which has long since married
of, and those living are all we'll settled
in life. Twenty or twenty-five years age
Professor Bsrbierre was, in addition te
other accomplishments, perhaps, the
finest guitarist in the country, and be
was also a composer, although be follow
ed his profession as a music teacher
msdestly, and never sought the fame ht
earned and might have enjoyed. He wa
an excellent citizen in every sense, auc
highly esteeEsed by all who knew him
1t IS said that his profile and the upper
part Of his face bore a striking resem
blance to General Beauregard, whom b.
also resembled in manner, size and &C
ton. After the wa be removed to Pa
ducah, Kentucky, where he engaged il
the hotel business, but his investmen
was not fortunate, and fir some tim
past he has resided with his children a
Collierville. Peace aud honor to hi
memory.

Morally it is sometimes questioned, but
the noble impulses Of the human heart

detail to her peculiar genius.
GREESLAw OPERA House The Pho.
nix, as presented by Milton Mobiles and
his dramatic company, drew together a
good audience last night. The drama
contains q we'll conceived and skilfully
developed plot, strongly drawn types OF
American character, abundance of wit
and humor, and innumerable thrilling
situations. The sensation story of the

voking and a fair sample OF the produc.
