1t was our pleasure to witness, in
celebration of the Fourth, the as
semblage of quite a number of
friends at the residence of the ever
.hOspitable Dan Gold, in New Provi-
dence. Ample provision had been
made in the way of barbecued pig
and lamb and other things for the
comfort of the inner and the outer
man. Let it suffice to say that moth
ing was left undone which would in
any way add to the comfort of the
guests while they remained. Mrs.
Gold and her daughter, Miss Alma,
come in for a large share of our
gratitude, which we freely and
worthily bestow for their kindness
and hospitality, making everyone
feel so much at home. 1t was one
of that kind of reunions which car
ries the mind back to memory's
store, where bright mementoes of
of the past are sacredly kept, and
which nevertheless shall carry the
joyful present to many a day in the
future. When all had partaken
heartily of edibles and had enjoyed |
social converse till the declining
sun beganEto warn them that it was
time to leave, it was insisted by our
landlord that the crowd must re-
main till six or seven, as he had

One of our oldest and most re-
spected citizens has just died.
Thomas Ramey was born Nov. 8,
1905, and died at his residence, six
miles south of GAINESVILLE, on Thurs
day, June 27, 1878; he was conse-
quently in his seventy-third year.
He was an active business man till
laid aside by age and affection. For
many years he was Sheriff of Mont
gomery county, and made most
active and efficient officer. Public
life did not have the demoralizing
effect on him that it does on some
men. He maintained his business
integrity from first to last, and so
devoted was he to the duties of his
office that often after riding hard all
day he would post his books at
night till he fell asleep over his ink
stand.
More than forty years ago he be-
came an active Christian and at
tached himself to the Methodist
Church, and in the capacity of class
leader, steward and trustee he dis
charged well the duties devolving
upon him. For several months be-
fore his death he was confined to
his room by affiiction, but 1 never
visited his sick room without going
away encouraged and strengthened
for the duties of life. He usually on
such occasions proposed devotional
exercises, and hespecially delighted
in sacred song. Although we knew
that the end was approaching, his
death took us by surprise. That |
afternoon he conversed with his
family in his usual cheerful style,
and two hours before his death he
himself, but while sitting on
the bedside the weary wheels of life
stood still, and he fell back and died |
without a struggle.
A funeral service was conducted |
before burial, at his late residence,
by very large concourse
of citizens. Then he was borne to
his last resting place in the family
Peace to his memory.

You were pleased to make favor
able mention in a recent issue of
Prof. Jno. M. Webb, and the Guile
Okla Institute, of which he and his
elder brother, w. r. Webb, are
principals. May I add that / was
pastor at Culleoka when the elder
Webb was first elected principal of
the Institute, am intimately acquain-
ted with its internal history and
management from the beginning,
have patronized it myself several
years, and believe it to be the best
preparatory school for the higher
University classes that [ have ever
known, not excepting those taught
in Virginia and North Carolina
preparatory to the Universities of
those States. Indeed the student
who completes the course taught
there is already well educated.
Both the principals are Christian
gentlemen and scholars of the first
water; they are as firm in the adj
ministraton of duty as West Point
officer, and they turn out no work
except of the very best quality.
1t was my pleasure to grasp the
hand of my old valued friend, Judge
Tarver, recently at Port Royal, and
I was very near having the prive-
lege of hearing him deliver a Sun
day-SchOol address, which, I learn
from a Vanderbilt gentleman pres
emf, was not only entertaining but
highly instructive. He has large
experience as a Sunday School
teacher and worker. 1t is said that
Jesse Lee once quoted Rev. xxi, s
on this wise: "All lawyers shall have
their part in the lake which burn
eth with fire and birthstone ;" but
my acquaintance with Judge Tarv-
er, and several other legal gentle
men that I could name, has con-
WINGED me that lawyers and Christ
ians are not always antagonistic
terms.
A gentleman, [ am told, bearing
a strong resemblance to the Cedar
Hill man passed this way few days
since, and cast a longing look at that
ilIustrious "chioken COOP" the Sub
terranean Refrigerator, martin box
es, scare-crows, etc. He has a good
heritage to turn over to some lucky
successor next fall-the best in the
district, except-Asbury. His quad
rennium has been one of great use
fitness, and fortunate will be the
charge that gets him for the next
four years.
On Sunday l was born, and Sun
day, June %, was my birthday.
''Few and evil have the days ofmy
life been," but l havemade so many
narrow escapes in the past that
would not be willing to try the eX-
pertinent of living those days over
again. May the future of my life
be better spent than the past has
been.

The Hon. John Z. House.

The announcement by Col. House
will be found in its appropriate col
umn of his purpose to offer himself
again as candidate for the represen-
tatiOn of this district in Congress.
We feel that in commencing his
high claims to public consideration
we are observing a superfiuous piece
of etiquette, for the readers of the
CHRONICLE are well acquainted
both with his claims and with our
opinions of them. We will say,
however, that Col. House is a
shining exception to what was a
general rule in the House last ses-
sion, that Democrats were peculiarly
negligent of their duties there. He
evidently realized the fact that a
representative duties are not linz
tied to a snowy speech or two; he
was always industrious in commit
tees, always Vigilant in the House,
spoke but seldom, and when he did
speak it was always the right word
in the right place, and it was spoken
with a force and elOquence very
rarely to be witnessed in these de-
generate days of parliamentary or
atory. For what he has said and
done he has gained the appreciation
of all his constituents for what he
has RETAINED from saying and do
ing, the gratitude of the nation.
Less talk and more work by men,
bers would have rescued the nation
from the slough of despond into
which it has fallen.

IF there is any defect of original
matter in this weeks paper, our
readers will kindly attribute it to
the tremendous infections we went
through in our trial before the II.
c.. c.. on the fourth. On that day
we were tried for our life, on charges
of mortal offences against the sane
tity of that court. Our defence was
splendid, but the court was organ
lied to convict and we were SEN
fenced to a punishment which
amounts to death by torture. Our
only hope ofsurviving it is that our
executiOners will succumb to the
horrors of the scene before it is
completed. Our sufferings are to
last through next week, and if we
are alive at the end of it our friends
will hear from us.

A match before which the Ten

to insignificance is to be played at
Dunbar's Cave on the 18th inst, as
will be seen from the following cor
respondence. Much excitement will
arise respecting the event and Dun
bars Cave will be crowded. Of
course the lady will win, though
she has made one great mistake in
demanding one lady on the COM
mittee of arbitration. Why, this is
what John Couts ought to have
done; committee of three gentle
men would never assign the prize
to male competitor. In justice to
Mr.. Couts we insist that Riley be
removed from that committee, and
another lady placed on it. He
would give it to the lady without
looking at the game:

match race between the BLUEGRASS
King and the Queen of the West,
the result of which caused hundreds
of thousands to change hands, at the
same timein the quiet city of Clarks-
vile, at the Southern Hotel, a con-
vention assembled to deliberate up
on a matter in which it is claimed
that about two hundred millions
Of dollars are involved. The con-
vention was composed of the heirs,
or supposed heirs, to the celebrated
TrOtter Estateof England and Scot
land. The object of the convention
was to take the necessary steps for
obtaining said estate, and to appoint
some one to attend toit. There We're
some twenty-five or thirty in atten-
dance, coming from the States of
Virginia, Alabama, Missouri, Indi-
ana, Illinois, Arkansas, Kentucky,
and Tennessee. The convention
was composed of nice lot of men,
some of them having quite vene-
rable appearance.
