IN NIEMORIAM.
Mitchell HAzLEMOop.

1t is with q feeling of sadness that
attempt to write line as a tribute to
the memory of this good man-"a IA
ther in Israel"
On the 18th inst. after brief illness
he quietly passed away at the advanced
age'of Sc years, less ~ days. On Sab
bath following numerous friends and
relations assembled mt his late residence
and gave attention to funeral sermon
delivered by the pastor OF his Church,
Rev. j. NJ. Ashford, after which his re-
mains were borne 10 the family ceme-
terry near by and deposited in the deep,
dark vault amid the signs and tears OF
surviving friends. In the death of Mr..
Lakewood, his family has lost an aflec-
tionate and indulgenJ father, the coun-
try an honorable citizen, society a wOr-
thy example and the Church valuable
member.
He was a soldier in the war of 1872,
after which he located in this commu-
nifty and has resided here eyer cince.
With history OF almost fifty years OF
his life before us, we are forced to say
that he was a quiet, unassuming gentle
man, and possessed spirit of sterling
manhood. But he is gone.
Gagged father, thou hast lett us,
Here thy loss We deeply feel
But It's God that hast bcreft US,
He can all our sorTows heal.n

Domestic and Foreign NJ issions.

Nashville Banner, Saturday even
ing: The annual report of Rev. j.
b. NJ Ferrin. ID. D., secretary of the
board on missions of the Nj. +.
church south, was read at the meet
ing of the body yesterday. During
the year DIR. M'Ferrin attended
twelve annual conferences, a large
number of district conferences, and
many less popular meetings. He
accompanied Bishop M'Tyiere to
the Indian mission conference, and
made, in the spring of 1877, visit
to the work in Indiana. In all his
visits, he found the spirit of mis-
sions reviving, but heard every
where complaints as to the scarcity
of money. The receipts since June
/, 1876, were sixty eight thousand
five hundred ald sixty four dollars
and forty-one cents, a portion of
which was contributed to the form
OF donations or bouquets. The
collections for domestic missions
amounts to fifty-Gve thousand and
fifty two dollars and eighty-six
cents The work within the super
vision of the board is progressing,
both AZ home and IN foreign fields.
The visit OF Bishop Marvin to China,
and his trip AROUND The world, will,
in the opinion of DR.. M'Ferrin, re-
suit in great good at home and
abroad Many of the domestic
fields need help, as China, Mexico
and Brazil Special attention was
called to the extraordinary work on
the Mexican. border. The secreta-
~ is impressed with.the Importance

Parker's Store.

Some of our farmers are becom-
ing somewhat discouraged with ref
erence to the prospects for a cotton
crop. It's so slow in coming up
that some are of the opinion that
they will not get a stand and will
have to plant the lard in corn.
Well that would be a good idea, for
this will be the year to raise coin if
the European war continues and
assumes the proportions that the
indications point to. If that is the
case grain VIII command a high
price for some time to come, and it
would be well to plant more corn
and less cotton Hog and hominy
will bring the money, and then the
world will wag easy. Wheat is
looking very well now, but those
cold nights affected it some but not
seriously it is hoped. Corn is not
looking very well but s growing off
slow.
Mrs. S. A. Rogers visited her sis
ter, Mrs. Cheatham in Maury coun
ty last week, and while there met
wish very serious accident. She
was brought home and was improv-
ing at last accounts. We hope that
it will not be long before she shall
have regained her usual health.
Mr.. j. B. Steen is visiting his
relatives in Alabama this week. l
guess he will swap horses a time or
two on this trip, as he has turned
"horse jockey" Of late. Specimens
of jockey yardism can be seen on
our streets most any day now.
That's all right, boys, so you let
truth predominant.
Miss Keziah Parker died at her
mothers residence on Dry Creek
last week of that king of terrors,
consumption. She was perfectly
resigned to the will of Heav-
en-, and expressed herself as being
ready TO join her sainted friends on
the other shore. We tender the
bereaved family our warmest SYM
pathies Her past life assures us
that their loss is her gain.

pounds the other night on q trot

We may look out for new suits for

as the result of sixty cents per

A lot of fellows came very near
being run over by the cars on first
Monday at Pigeon Roost bridge.
Nobody drunk either.
The Honorable j. Parker, of the
Pulaski bar, looked in upon us on
his way home from Esq. j. c. Dick
ey's, where he had been successfully |
prosecuting a suit in favor of Char
lie Wood against Wash Tomlin for |
assault and battery. Tomlin plead
ed guilty and was fined under the |
small offense law. The magistrate
paid the fine, the constable the cost |
and Wood paid his lawyer a ten
dollar bill. Such is the fruits of
going to law on such frivolous |
cases.
Prof. Henry Farmer the noted |
futist, passed through our village |

performances, but he held one fel /

At his residence, 2 miles west OF
this place, Mr.. Mitchell Lakewood
died, aged about sc years. Mr..
Eubanks, an old citizen of this COM
munity, Is very feeble and is not
expected to live long. Also Luke
Kimbrough, an old negro, is very
sick. He is the oldest man in this
community. His son says that he
is los years old; was the first man
to fell tree in the valley above
here, and the only man in the coun-
ty who has an Indians bow and
arrow in his possession.
A large cave near this place has
been discovered, and people who
have explored it say that rocks are
found in it which look like dia-
monds. Only men know of its
whereabouts.
Our village still improves. Mr..
a. E. Marks and Capt. L. B. Hobbs
have just completed two houses
which add very much to our town.
Our friend and merchant L. Atweli
Fogg has made himself a splendid
gate between his store and East

and works like magic. Farmers
will do well to examine it. 1t is a
success.

A HOTEL. A HOTEL,
Pulaski is to Have a Fine Ho-
tel at Last.

Elk Mayor Caleb Osborne has
made all necessary preparation and
has already commenced the work of
building a new hotel. He pur
chased The brick upon the Rose
place on West hill and is having
them cleaned for use. The plan of
the building shows a splendid new
structure between his residence and
the post office on lst Street, filling
in that open space, and this with
his residence and the second story
of the post Office building will con
stitute the hotel of about 81 rooms.
Mr.. Osborne's characteristic ener-
gy and enterprise is guarantee
that the work will be pushed rapid
ly to completion and that it will be
a credit to the town. Mr.. Jackson
will lease it when completed and
run it in the splendid style he has
developed in his short career in that
capacity. The ground plan can be
seen at Porter Osborne's store.

Who does not remember the man
with the jewelry and without legs
who sat here day after day and
sang
"Par'y give me dollar for the whole entire
And I'll roll 'em up tight SO mono will Jingle
out"
Well, he came among us like the
flash of a diamond pin and left us
after a season, but that is not all.
His name is Charlie Fuller alias
Cummins, of Lafayette, Ind. There
has sojourned in Pulaski since her
birth a colored damsel named Fran
els Chain, the same who clerked at
Mr.. Bridges hotel, she of innumer-
able freckles and splendid bullying
form. She has been for months the
sworn wife of one Rufus Anderson,
a graduate from some negro regi
ment, who came here some months
ago decked in velvet clothes and
patent-.eathcrs and captured the
heart of Francis and kept it safe
for the jewelry man. Fuller left
with the late circus, having boarded
at the jackson, where he had OPP
portunity to court Francis, and in a
day she left and met him at Colum
bia and proceeded thence with him
to Lafayette, from whence she has
written to her sister Lucy that she
is boarding at a first-class hotel and
is really white folks. Francis has
struck a streak of luck, and when
she tires of this man she can leave
him and he cannot follow, for he
has no legs. Her old husband, with
philosophical sense, accepts the sit
uation without a murmer, ana seems
as gay and happy as worm under
a rotten log. Francis will now go
through a tanning process to re-
move her freckles, be a white lady
for while, but she will finally bring
up in a kitchen where she belongs.

spots, keep a mule from kicking or

j. B. Stacy, Jr., and We local had
some bright experience in the run
away business last Thursday. They
were driving gaily along between
the two pixies from Fayetteville to
Pulaski, and were coming down one
of those picturesque hills that adorn
the country just over in Lincoln
that remind one so much of prime
val ages when the rock ribbed hills
were made in minute and a vol
cano was mere pop gun. Their
buggy was merrily dancing from
precipice to precipice, and they had
just priced their horse out of the
37th sink hole with a circus pole,
when flop! over they came, kerslap
in a canyon and the horse took off
down the gulch and scattered the
buggy over the lava-beds in pieces
the size of your hat. 10. priced
over q monster rock with his knee
as he came out, and we crow
hoped backwards some 800 feet
before we concluded to get out of
the buggy top. When we got out
and climbed a neighbQring bluff
and looked down the rugged pros
pect for our steed, we beheld the
air filled with quaint-cut pieces OF
buggy and harness and the horse
rushing like he had forgotten some
thing in Canada aAd must have it
IN fifteen minutes. Then 10. looked
around and we grinned at each
other and picked up our hats and
joined in the procession. 10. limp
ed and said he could feel the blood
running from his knee into his
boots, and he sat down on a gravel
and rolled up his breeches and
found he wasn't scratched. Those
hills are beautiful, grandl Why,
what is $26 bill compared to such
exquisite experience as we had!
True, Lincoln and Giles counties
ought to pay damages for having
such men traps and for tolerating
such outrageous roads. We are
under obligations to Maj. George

for helping us out of the difficulty

Giles ana Lincoln counties should
go in partnership and build a pike
across by Bethany and connect the
two already built. There are thir
teen miles of pike at each end, sep
arated by ten miles of very rough
road, but capable of being made a
pike at very small cost compare
lively. 1t is almost impossible to
traverse the road as it is in vehicle
without breaking down, and Pulaski
and Fayetteville owe it to each
other and the public to make com
munication between them at least
possible. This road is necessity.
Let the people along the route raise
n universal cry for it. Will the

prevail upon the County Courts to
build it? Or else to build the pike
so long contemplated by way of
