SUICIDE IN DEERING.-Mr. Charles Osgood,
who resides with his sister, Mrs. Noble, at
Deering Centre, committed suicide by hanging
at II o'clock yesterday. Mr.. Osgood was an
unmarried man about 45 years of age, and
cooper by trade. He has been considered in
sane for about year, but it was not thought
he would attempt to take his life. Yesterday
he was missed by the family, and on going into
the cellar he was found hanging to beam.
Dr. Perkins was called and cut him down, but
life was extinct. He had used tarred rope,
and by standing on box tied the rope around
beam and then to his neck. 1t was thought
he had been hanging about half an hour when
discovered. Coroner Adams was called, but
after hearing the facts in the case did not con-
slider an ipques necessary.

Although there was not very
large attendance at the Bible Read
ing at the Methodist Church Tues
day night, yet i was better than
was expected by some. While the
exercises were novel, they were ex
ceedingly Interesting and we hope
pro itable. The subject of Broth
ely Love" was selected for the &C
casion, and 81 texts were read bear
ing directly thereon. A slip of pa
per was given to each one of the
congregation which cited him TO a
text which he should read when it
was called for by the President Of
the Association. Thus the reading
was kept up continuously, and each
one took part in the exercises. The
meeting was short and exceedingly
pleasant, and we hope it may be
followed by many others, and that
they may do good in the commu-
nifty, which no doubt they will. A
short essay or address appropriate
to the occasion, written in good
taste and trimming with good SEN
timent, was read by Capt. Arrow
smith.

We have about emerged from the
matchmaking, gully washing rain,
but we still feel the effect of the
wind that leveled the fences with the
ground, and Frustrated the giant
oaks; that caused your humble SER
want TO bend the knee and speak in
such tones and accents as he never
spake before. The rain has opera
ted considerably against the pro-
gress of the farmers in so-much that
they are not done planting. Some
have finished and have corn and
cotton large enough to cultivate.
King cotton does not sway his scep-
ter over so much territory in this
section as he has formerly done.
Cattle raising, hog and hominy are
in the ascendency.
On the stormy evening of the Sd
inst. an accident occurred upon the
farm of Mr.. Jno. NJ. Aymett that
has never found its way into the
columns of the CITIZEN, and we pre-
sumo it viii not be out of order at
this late hour. Mr.. NJ. G. Ander-
son, who has been employed upon
the farm as blacksmith for two or
three years, was killed by a tree
being blown down upon him while
blowing. His neck and back were
broken, and his breastbone literally
crushed.
Sunday school was reorganized
last Sabbath by electing Mr.. j. II.

Mr.. EDITOR You said that
among Heavens best gifts to man,
was good water-after woman. Now
didn't Adam have plenty of good
water before he got wife? And
you know we can't get along at all
without this beverage of Heaven s
own make; but can't get along acith
women. This is the difference.
"They say" (The they are old
bachelors.
Notwithstanding many think the
wheat will be blighted, we hope
there will be plenty and to spare.
We notice, here. and in other sec
tons, that wheat on land that has
been covered and otherwise fertil-
lied, looks well So much, of late,
depends on the wheat crop, that we
look forward to harvest with even
painful anxiety. The wheat's
going to fail has been sung so much
for three or four years that it has
got to be ''common metre" song.
Let's quit complaining and "with
prayer and thanksgiving make our
requests known unto God" o.
what prospect for fruit! You are
hereby authorized, Mr.. McCord, to
send out and get you a load of
peaches when they get ripe. But
then you don't have to send nor go
for good things How fortunate!
On account of so much rain our
farmers are not done planting. Our
corn that is up and gardens, look
well. The storm on the night of
the 23rd blew down and destroyed
much timber. 1t was more severe
a few miles northwest of us.

1t has heen some time since the
Jolly Bachelors gave Hop, but in
the mean time they did not forget
how to make one pleasant and alto
gether elegant. The one given by
them at the st. Giles Monday night
surpassed any heretofore, and the
enjoyment experienced on that oc
casion cannot be easily forgotten.
The evening was very pleasant, and
by 10 o'clock the music had COM
menced and all were RECALLING in the
poetry of motion, and very soon
were lost in its happy mazes. 1t is
useless to say that every attention
was shown to the guests by nine
host, for it is inconsistent with his
generous spirit to entertain in other
than the most elegant and hospita-

A New Turnpike Project.

We are requested to announce
that there will be meeting at the
court house next Monday at II
o'clock of the friends of a proposed
turnpike to Anthony's Hill. We
believe the County Court has al
ready ordeFed the county work
house force to build macadamized
road to the Buford branch, and
this will leave only about three
miles to be built to extend it to An
thongs Hill. 1t is well known that
the CITIZEN is the unfaltering friend
of turnpikes. For many years it
was a hobby with us, and we have
exhausted the arguments in their
favor. We think there is no need
now for arguments to convince in
telligent reading men of the impOr-
lance of pikes-of their en-
tightening and civilizing influence.
They carry with them wherever they
go capital, good citizens, schools,
churches and prosperity, and we all
admit this fact. Then you ask,
why do we not have more OF them?
Simply because some active, lead
ing spirit in each neighborhoOd
does not take hold of and push the
thing through. What could an army
accomplish without a leader2 The
army is strong, united, eager, but
without a leader and organizer it
becomes a demoralized mob, and
failure. The people are ripe for
turnpikes, and they only need
proper organization and leadership.
Who will be our Moses to lead us
out of this wilderness of bad roads?
Those who have subscription lists
for the Anthony Hill turnpike
in their hands are requested to leave
them at the Office Of Rose d Tinnon

ElkmOnt Springs.

The weather for the past week
has been very gloomy. We had q
storm last Tuesday night which
blew down a good deal of timber
and fencing. We have had so much
rain for the past week that the
farmers, those that are backward in
their crops, ore wearing long faces,
but they should not grumble at
Providence, for, as the old song
says, "Spring would be but gloomy
weather if we had nothing else but
spring"
The citizens of our vicinity have
taken great interest in the culture
of bees, and from the looks of Mr..
A. t. Ezell's face we hardly think
he will get to see his "gal'' next
Sunday. If he does it will be only
ont of one eye.
Miss Matte Ezell has been to
Millville visiting her relatives. We
were glad to see her return a few
days ago, bringing with her the
charming Miss Pattie Ezell. We
hope her stay may be long and
pleasant.
The old women are very busy
now raising chickens and working
their gardens, but then you need
not tell the Methodist preachers
anything about that.
Miss Sallie McCallum of Pulaski
is visiting Elkmont at this time.
We would be glad to see more visi-
tors come in to drink some of that
''good water" which brings the
roses to the faded cheek, brightness
to the dim eye, strength to the fee
BILE, and makes the old man live
over his young days again.
We had fight in our neighbor
hood few days ago between Mr..
Tillery and Mr.. Merrell, resulting
in the former getting badly cut.
Had it not been for our skillful
physician, DR.. NJ, it might have
proved fatal.
Wheat is looking remarkably
well, and is heading out. Some of
it we think will do to harvest by the
middle of May, then we will have
some good old sorghum and bis
cults" and like as not some of the
gals will "git' married, and that
will be hog killing time in Dis
trict No. 1, you bet. Then, Mr..
Editor, you may look out for hunk
about the size of your head.

Proceedings Of the Corporate Au-
liberties.

Al meeting Of the board OF
Mayor and Aldermen last Saturday
night il WAS ordered with but one
dissenting voice to pay the lawyers
fee of 81, 900 in the corporation suit
just decided by the Supreme Court
against the Railroad tax.
Policeman Martin resigned his
Office, and VIM. Malone was ap-
polluted 30 serve in his place until
Saturday night when a special
meeting will be held for the election
of policeman.
The Mayor was authorized to
distribute lime tor sanitary pur.
poses.
Petition to remove fences from
across the ends of certain streets
leading to the railroad was laid on
the table.
The board agreed TO repair halt
she street between DR.. Bate and
Capt. Taliaferro, provided the coun
" or the citizens interested would
repair the other half. This street
is divided in the center by the cor
poradon LING.

The action of the Board upon the
payment Of the lawyers fee in the
railroad suit has elected consider
able comment pro and con. Some
think it is radically wrong, while
others think 1t is right. Some
think the charter might have been
corrected and the people had their
wishes in the matter with much less
expense. Others think the people
didn't know what was best and
therefore ought to pay for their
folly. In one aspect of the case it
seems anomalous that the people
should be defeated in their project
and then pay $1,000 to those who
accomplished it for so defeating
them. But the other side claim,
and the court has so decided, that
the charter was not legal one and
therefore the tax was not legally
levied. The courts having so de
cided and the people of the corpo-
ration having been relieved from q
tax which would have been burden
some, therefore, they argue, the cor
poration should pay the expense.
Another aspect of the case is that
this was the technical method
adopted by the minority to defeat
the railroad because they opposed
it and wanted 1t defeated by all
means, when, is they had simply
wanted to protect the legal interest
of the corporation, they could have
done so with much less expense by
having the charter corrected, or by
submitting an agreed case to the
courts, Briefly the case stands
thus. The people voted by more
than a twO-thirds majority to levy
n tax of $4,000 to aid the NJ. q X.
railroad, and the board of Alder
men instructed the Mayor to sub
scribe the stock according to the
statute. The Mayor refused to do
so, employed counsel, and recently
the Supreme Court has decided that
the charter was illegal. Technic-
hlly we suppose the corporation is
bound, although the Mayor acted
(conscientiously we admit) in di-
rect opposition to the expressed
will of the people and in direct va
rance with the recorded instruc-
tions of the board of aldermen. AS
TO the results, it is possibly best for
the immediate interest of the people
that the project was defeated. The
tax would have been exceedingly
burdensome, followed as it was by
an unprecedented financial pres
sure. This we admit And we will
admit further that the people prob
ably would not now vote the same
tax. But was this financial press
sure foreseen2 Here endeth the
whole matter.
