OBITUARY.

The bud was far too precious to
bloem mid scenes of time, and has
therefore been transplanted to a more
congenial cline
a cline high up exalted, cline more bright
than this,
To grow, to bloom, TO flourish, mid the hal
eyon scenes of bliss.
God and his mercy has seen ut TO call
another little lamb to His fold. On the
evening of the 22nd OF Dec. dear little
Bonnie, daughter Of Mr.. Daniel and
Katie Garrett, fell asleep in Jesus.
She was a sweet and lovely child. A
little more than three summers had
passed over her infant head, when the
conqueror deSth came, and waited her
bright spirit 10 the realms OF eternal
bliss. We tender our deepest sympa-
thy to the bereaved parents. we trust
they may so live that when they are
done with the troubles and trials Of
life, they may meet her beyond the
Rolling River, where God Himself will
wipe ball tears from our eyes, and the
word farewell is never heard.
So rest, little Bonnie, rest,
From trouble. pain and care,
Till Jesus comes TO bless,
When all his voice shall hear.
Rest, little Bonnie, rest.

Our fair friend and neighbor
Miss Lucinda Chapman has become
the victim of Cupid's darts and
gone to brighten the home and
gladden. the heart of the successful
competitor, and to lend her radiant
charms to the realization of his
happlest dreams of love. Mr.. John
Holt of Brier Ridge was the man
who had the privilege of winning
her hand. They celebrated their
nuptials in good style at the resi-
dence of the brides father, Mr.. w.
G. Chapman, on Sunday, the 9Th
inst, j. G. Dickey, ESQ.,, tieing the
silken knot. A sumptuous feast
was.served on the occasion and was
heartily enjoyed by the guests. We
wish them much happiness, and that
no bitter herbs or noxious weeds
grow up in their pathway, but may
they pluck the fairest flowers from
the garden of welded bliss.
Our highly esteemed neIghbor
Mrs. Elizabeth Chapman happened
to very serious accident while on
visit to relatives in Lawrence
county the other day. AS she was
riding along the road she threw her
bride reins down to better enable
her to remove limb that was OBJ
structing her pathway. 1t proved
to be too much for her strength, and
her animal not being under suffl-
cient control she was dragged from
her saddle and her arm thrown out
of place, and otherwise injured. 1t
has been very painful ever since,
and is improving slowly.
Mr.. Sam Yokley was in our vii
lage last week. Our young friends
j. W. Baker and Johnnie Yancey
visited our village the other day
with smiles on their manly faces
and their cheeks aglow with youth
full bloom. They are calculated to
fill prominent positions in the his
tory of this generation. Upon such
shoulders as theirs this government
must eventually fall, and it is a
pleasure to see them preparing for
business. In case our Esea can not
settle the State debt question we
will have to invest our boys with
the mantle Of authority and send
them to redeem our grand old State
from its stigma of disgrace, into
which it has been plunged by our
last Legislature. 1t is strange that
set of men claiming to be intel
Iectual beings, when the interest of
a people oppressed by taxation and
the welfare of the commonwealth
demanding it, will squabble over a
proposition as fair as the one made
by the bondholders. They bought
them in good faith doubtless, de-
pending on the honor of the State
to pay them. Then a proposition
to deduct one-half comes and it is
rejected. File, for shame! We
don't doubt but that our represent
alive did all in his power to honor
ably adjust the vexed question.
only represent the sentiments of
this section when say that the debt
ought to be paid. I he people don't
want reputation. If it comes to
that we had as well take up stakes
and go where the woodbine twineth.

ElktOn.

The holidays have passed and
Elkton is the solemn old place il
was four weeks ago. Everything
seems solemn, or has seemed so fol
the past week, and men begin 20
speak to each other civilly, boys
quit getting drunk. except when
they assemble on Saturday night to
the number of ten or fifteen and
make the religious people of Elkton
and vicinity believe that the turn
pike is a railroad and Elk River is
navigated by steamboats,, when in
fact this place never saw a train of
cars and has not heard steamboat
in twenty five years. But there is
nothing like keeping up appear
ances, you know.
1t has been three weeks since
those prospect girls were here, yet
we heard Broadway youth remark
the other day that "them Prospect
gals got away with everything
around here" Yes; you bet they
did, including a good portion of
the Methodist supper.
The Debating Club of this place
thinks that man shows more inge-
nuity in getting over a fence than
woman, because he can lift himself
over by his bootstraps. That's so;
woman can't, she has one drawback,
that is her pullback.
Rev. Mr.. Travis is back at his
station, after several weeks visit to
his relatives in Wayne county.
Also Rev. Mr.. Ray of No. l from a
visit to relatives in Bedford county.
Elkton is in a quandary, not
knowing whether to improve or do
as it has for the past fifteen years,
with a preponderence in favor of
the latter. Jan. 2lst. X. b.

We have no objection to the
Lawrence Free Press entertaining
any kind Of foolish idea it pIeases
and attempting to prop tlem up by
any kind of illogical arguments it
please to mess up; and it may mis-
repreut the CITIZEN as often as it
wishes, it it viii always, as it did
last week, publish our article so
that the reader may see upon the
face OF 1t that it - a purposed
and paIpable misrepresentation.
1t attempts to answer few PLAIN
statements we maize upon the effect
of the action of the Legislature, and
among other stuff says: THE nc
ton of the Legislature had nothing
to do with the defeat of the railroad
through Lawrence. AS the rail
road was defeated some two years
ago, and the Legislature only met
last month, the truth was stumbled
upon thus unwittingly. But the
Free Press uses this as a basis for
a fling that it has frequently made
and we have as often corrected:
The Reputation of the Pulaski bonds,
by the municipal authorities, was
what killed the railroad" Pulaski
never issued railroad bond to re
pudiate, but she voted overwhelm
Ingly to give $4,000 to help build
Lawrence a railroad, and the CIR
cult Court decreed that she could |
not issue the bonds, and the matter
is now in Supreme Court. These
facts utterly refute the unwarrant
ed SANDER which that paper is con |
tinually trying to force its readers
to believe. 1t is II very serious ac-
cusatlon, and the more so because |
1t is slandcrous fabrication. We
hope the Free Press spoke hurried
~ without measuring the force OF
its words, and if it did, it should
now correct them.

Old Lynnville.

We had the pleasure Of attending
splendid entertainment given by
Mr.. and Mrs. Hill, on the evening
of the 18th. An elegant supper was
served, and our hostess with her
PLEASANT smile and gentle manner,
added much to our entertainment.
We did not only celebrate their
birthday, but also the day in which
their loving hearts took mutual
vows to promote each others hap
piness through life. May their fu-
ture years glide on as pleasantly as
the past, and when their mission
here is ended, may they be reunited
To the realms above.
Last, but not least, a party was
given at the Institute by Capt.
White and his estImable lady, four
former teacher.) As we entered the
classic Hall, memory brought fresh
to our minds the many bright
scenes of our childhood, when our
young and buoyant hearts were
bright with hope and anticipations.
Oh. those happy childhood days;
could we but call them back again
We knew no care. Trouble nor
sorrow never dimmed our pathway.
But alas our pleasures are only
momentary.
'But pleasures are like peoples spread
You seize the flower, its bloom is she'd
Another year has dawned upon
us. We are one year nearer
the grave, and we are one year
nearer the judgement seat Of Christ.
One year nearer an eternal home in
Heaven, or nearer the dark do
mains of eternal ruin. Let us ret
respect the past year, and see If
we can not improve our life in the
future, for no one knoweth his
influence. The blossom cahnot tell
what becomes of its odor, and no
one can tell what becomes of his
influence and example, that roll
away from him, and go beyond
this ken on their mission.

We commence now to imp ess
upon the people the importance OF
turning out to vote in August next.
1t is sacred privilege and should
be carefully exerti sed. Communi
ties frequently have men folsted
into Office that the majority of the
people do not want, because the
better and more intelligent class of
people are negligent and careless IN
voting. Oh men especially should
attend the polls and give expression
to their more mature Judgment.
The candidates all should impress
this upon the people during the
canvass. Giles has about $500 vO-
ters and every one of them should
vote.
