Clarksville weekly chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1873-1890, 1878-10-05
sunday at EImvVOOd.

The sorrows Of the epidemic we're
never pictured I'm more distressing
scenes than We're witnessed last
Sunday at Elmwood. Six friends
of the late Ed. WOrsham had fol-
lowed his remains To- the "city of
the dead" for the purpose of pay
ing the last sad tribute 10 their dear
ly beloved companion. ON arriving
at the cemetry, they found the Rev.
DR.. White Of Calvary church, who,
with his aged wife and faithful col
ored servant, were the only mourn
ers at the funeral of the minister's
son, Eugene ID. White, who had
died the day previous. ON learning
that the remains Of "pOOr Ned"
were about to be consigned tO the
grave, DIR. White, who is also
Mason, asked the privilege Of read
ing his burial service. The request
was readily granted, and the rev.
erned minister, i'm words most feel
ingly rendered, amid tears and sObs
that almost checked their utterance,
eulogizing the character of the de-
ceased. As the sod was falling upon
the coffin Of the deceased, DIR. White
was approached by a gentleman
well known i'm this community,
who asked Of him TO read the SER
vice over his dead wife. lie was
the only mourner and was heart
broken over his sad loss. The kind
old man willingly consented, but
first asked that he might consign to
the grave his son. The mourners
of Ed. Worsham acted as pall-hear-
ers to Eugene ID. White, and with
uncovered heads listened with
aching hearts TO the father as he
read the service over his dead son.
This painful scene had hardly ended
when Mr.. Ed. Beasley approached
and said he would take II as an cs-
pecial favor if DIR. White would
read the funeral service over the
remains Of the late William Willis,
whom a few friends had lust
brought 10 cOnsign 20 their last rest
ing place. Thus Il was that the
good old man, whose venerable ap-
pearance Is in keeping with his age,
performed the duties OF his calling
within the short period Of half an
hor TO four departed souls that are
now at rest.

The Short Road.

Young men, cut out these rules
and paste them inside of your hat
where you can read them three
times a day. Women, read these
rules every morning to your nus
hands. They are worth perpetual
ting:
If you wish to be always thirsty,
become drunkard, for the oftener
you drink the more thirsty you will
be.
|. If you wish to prevent friends
from helping you along in the world,
be Il drunkard, for that of itself will
defeat all their kindest efforts.
If you are determined to be poor
become a drunkard, and soon you
will become ragged and friendless.
If you wish to starve your family
become 81 drunkard, for that will
consume all of your money.
If you wish to be imposed on by
knaves, be a drunkard, for it is a
sure road to destruction.
If you would have no resources
when past labor but the poor house,
be drunkard, and you will accom-
plish ii most effectually.

Can't he Did,

A correspondent wants to know
why women never sleep in church.
We suspect that it is on account
of their uncomfortable head-gear.
We don't believe any man, with
his head jabbed full Of hair-pins,
and back-hair twisted up so tight
that a squeeze would break a blood
vessel, could find repose even un-
der the most summifying discourse
that ever banished physical pain.

DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.


The Democratic party Of the State
of New York reaffirmS the following
principles, set forth in its platform
adopted in 1874 and 1877, and in
dOrsed by large majority of the
people of this State:
Gold and silver coin, and paper
convertible into coin at the will of
the holder, the only currency of the
country.
Steady steps toward specie pay
ments.
The honest payment of the public
debt. We congratulate the State
and country upon the practical rela-
tive value of this greenback currency
of the Government with gold and
silver. The preservation of the
public faith.
A tariff for revenue. No Govern
ment partnership with protected
monopOlieS.
Home rule to limit and localize
most jealously the powers intrusted
to public servants, whether Munich
pal, State or Federal. No centrali-
zation.
Equal and exact justice TO all
men. No partial legislation. No
partial taxation.
Official accountability, rigidly en-
forced by all civil and criminal
remedies. No private use of public
funds by public officers.
Corporations chartered by the
State always subject to State super
vision in the interest of the people.
The party in power responsible
for all legislation while in power.
Economy in public expense, that
labor may be lightly burdened and
the laborer fully paid for his work.
Uniform and equitable excise
laws. No sumptuary laws.
Resolved, That the provisions of
the State Constitution are manda-
tory in regard to the eappOrtiOnment
of members of the Senate and AS
sembly, and the failure of the Re
publican party, for three successive
years after the taking of the census,
to appOrtion the State, is a grave
crime against the people, and dis
honest and Infamous refusal to obey
the plain directions of the funda-
mental law.
Resolved, That by an infamous
conspiracy of force and fraud, the
high officials and unrepudiated
leaders of the Republican party an
nulled and reversed the nations
choice for the Presidency, put a de-
feated candidate in the chair of
Washington and cheated the people
of that reform of the Federal Gov
eminent which their ballots had
and ordained and it is

FORMS.

The two parties had their conven-

Wednesday, the Republicans at
Saratoga on Thursday. We give
their platforms. Both of them have
a hard money ring; neither would

Having made thorough trial of two differ
ent pumps, that have been prominently before
the public of Oregon, for some time pISt, give
myexperience as follows: Mr.. \. Prescrtt put
in one of his wood pumps, in well III feet
deep, on the hillside hear Salem, which has
now been in operation one year and haif, and
has operated perfectly al that time. never get
ting out of order in Summer or Winter, and
working with ease ut all times not requiring
more than two strokes to bring water after be-
ing unused for weeks at time. Also, Mr.
Middaush put in one Of his rubber bucket end
less chain pumps, called the Magic Pump"
into my well 40 feet deep, at my residence in
Salem, which failed to do work, required thir-
teen turns to draw water when low, and proved
So entirely unsatisfactory that | have had it
taken out and replaced with Mr.. Prescott 5
wood pump, which | believe to be the bes.
pump in use for all work, in both deep or shal-
low wells. He has made these pumps for four
years past, and sold fifteen hundred in this
valley. ). \. CLARKE,
