deaths number less than one-seventh OF
those in the first quinquennium. From 10
to Is, the average mortality is lower than
at any other period. From 10 to 20 the
deaths increases again. especially among
women. At this period the influence OF
dangerous occupations begins to be seen
in the death-rate. Fully eight times as
many men as women die violent deaths
The number ot such deaths continues to
rise from 20 to -, and keeps high for at
least 20 wears Consumption is prevalent

for nearly half the deaths. From 81 To

For the Citizen. ~ -....
Richland Circuit.

Mr.. EDIToR:-The pastor of the
Richland circuit has just closed his
protracted meetings for the charge,
and was blessed with a revival at
every church. The number of con-
versions we do not know, but there
were over forty before the close OF
the Bethesda meeting, which we at
tended only part of the time. There
he was greatly in need of assistance,
sending and writing to ministers of
adjoining charges, but his appeals to
them for aid were in vain. The
Elkton "priest by chance" came
that way, and when he heard his
call, che passed by on the other
side" Likewise the Mt. Pisgah
"Levite" was at place not far dis
tant, and he would not so much as
come and look upon him, though he
heard his cry, but "passed by on
the other side" Then the Pulaski
Samaritan who journeyed in be-
half of the sick, on his return heard
his appeals for help, but he had no
compassion on him" and would
not go to him with soil and wine"
Now which of the three thinkest
thou was neighbor to his brother,
WAC has already assisted and is ever
ready to go to his brethren when
called upon for aid2 But it seems
that he is capable of doing his own
work, and we advise him not to de-
pend in the future upon. others.
But we expect two of the three who
failed to heed his call for help last
week will try to make him believe
they wish his assistance this week,
and we think he will scarcely suffer
them to call upon him in vain. L.

Man and Woman.

DR.. LaFar has been invited by
our citizens to deliver his lecture
on Man and Woman for the benefit
of the scourged South. Should ne
respond favorably, as we know he
will, large audience will greet him.
We have never heard this lecture,
but from the favorable mention we
have seen of it through the press
we can unhesitatingly assure our
citizens a literary treat. He deliv-
cred the same lecture at Baltimore
in 1878, notice of which we copy
from the Baltimorean of 18th Oct.
that year;
Notwithstanding the great attrac-
ton elsewhere, about three hundred
persons assembled at Masonic Tenn
pie last Sunday evening TO hear the
lecture of DR.. T. A. LaFar. The
Doctors theme was "Man and Wo-
man." and he discussed it at some
length and with considerable abili-
ity. The proceeds of a collection
amounting to some $50 or more
were forwarded TO the Shreveport
sufferers, after first deductiug the
rent of hall and an advertising bill.

A Call for Their Publication
in Book Form.

Mr.. EDITOR The letters to "Our
Young People, now appearing in
the columns of your paper from the
pen of DR.. Rivers are among the
best of our popular reading matter.
Their diction, purity of sentiment,
thoughtful preparation, with unique
illustrations and elevating princi-
Piles, give them high rank and invest
them with a deep interest to indi-
vidual character anG the home cir
Gle. In them the philosophy of hu-
man life and moral destiny are aptly
combined. Then, they are racy
and rare. They ought to be given
to posterity. Let them not perish,
but let them become part of our
permanent literature. We think DR..
Rivers has conferred a great favor
upon the youth by his wise coun-
sci already, and the object of this
call is to know if he will consent to
the publication of the series in book
form. Our judgment in this is well
endorsed, and others would readily
sign the request. Very truly,

mo Premium Shall Exceed the En-
trance Fee"

The rule heretofore strictly en-
forced by our agricultural society
which has been denounced by some
thoughtless persons as being stingy
and mean, has been the financial
salvation of the enterprise. Nc
county society has heretofore been
able to keep it's head above the
wave without it. Any other policy
would overwhelm it with debt in its
infancy, aud very few men in the
county would be willing to become
tockholders in an enterprise which
would be foredoomed to bankruptcy
and have the burden to bear. After
this year it is probable our society
will be upon such financial footing
as to be able to abolish this rule
but until then no man should per
nit his prejudice to condemn the
only saving clause to those who
have generously shouldered the re-
sponsibilities of the enterprise.

The campmeeting at Hurricane
Switch was glorious. That apostle
of evangelical faith, the Rev. Jas.
ID. Barbee, was there leading the
hosts of Israel with the heroism of
a Joshua on to a signal conquest
over the "powers of darkness
Other brave assistants were there.
The people were enthused-aRd
without wild eXcitement-they la
bored in the simplicity and earnest
ness of the faith of the gospel till
sometimes the encampment was
like the continuous roar of battle.
Nearly every charge in this, the
Columbia Dist, has been visited
with ingatherings and revival power
from God, and upon casting up l
believe about four hundred souls
have professed ia tn in the Lord.
Other services yet TO be held IN the
Dist, and that number will be in
creased. 1t is thought the camp
meeting for next year will outdo all
its predecessors" The meeting
closed Sunday night last in the midst
of the deepest interest, there being
thirty-three penitents and eleven
conversions at that hours service.
1t would have been continued long
er, but the ministers and people
were worn out. 1t was in progress
about ten days, resulting in about
fifty conversions. and general re-
viyal of the church. Rev. A. u.
Dinwiddie went up Saturday, and
assisted to it's close. Rev. T. a:
Sowell, the pastor of Hurricane and

aud ~ accessions to the church
in his charge, during the revivals,
which together were continued
about five weeks.
