OBITUARY.

DIED:-At the residence of \. G. Thomp-
son, in the 18th district of Hardeman coun-
~, Tenn, his dear wife NIFTY, in the seth
year of her age.
She was born 1910, and was married to
n. q. Thompson in 1865, with whom she
lived in the sweetest ties of conjugal affec-
ton until her death, which took place April
10th, 1879 She leaves devoted husband,
six darling children and many relatives
and friends to mourn their Joss.
Thus is chronicled the short history OF
one, who has just gone from among us, and
we can scarcely realize that one so intimate
ly connected with the scenes of our youth
full days, has passed away, that we are to
see her no more this side of the riv;rl
To the husband and her sweet little chill
dren we tender our most sincere confidence
But we know that nothing save the sustain
ing grace of Him, who has taken her to that
beautiful "Home Above" is adequate to
give relief. With the husband, how bright
the morning when they started on LIES jour
ney together. To live for one another. To
meet life's reverses seems but a small al
fair, when they brooked them conformity.
But now the companion is gone and the
world, to him, seems to take no cognizance
of his forlorn condition. The world seems
gay and mirthful, while his very heart
strings have been torn asunder by natures
memorable law, and death at one stroke,
has blighted the future But to the hus-
band we would say that this is only the
dark side of the picture. When we consider
that your dear NIFTY is just across the river,
whittier we all are Fastening That her
life here was one of consistency and dero-
ton; that she lived christian and died a
christian. That she trusted in Christ for
salvation; that her change has preceded
ours but few years at most, ana the ''lit-
tie Jewels" which she has left in your care.
''to train up in the nurture and admonition
of the Lord" are sources of the greatest
comfort to your soul, and ere long, you'll
all cross over, and if your lives are consis-
tent with the christian character. you'll
meet again in that beautiful Home 4 bovc'

Mr. Editor:-Please insert the following in
the BULLETIN for the benefit of the public
FRIEND
An English surgeon writing to the Lon
don Times says that having seen sulphur
recommended in cases of diptheria, he tried
the remedy and found it to be remarkably
etficacious. He mixed as much sulphur as
he could with glycerine to creamy consis-
ten y, and direct d that each child attacked
should swallow slowly, according to age, n
tcaspoonful or more of this liquid three or
four times day; also ! little should be ap-
piled to the nOstrils with 4 sponge. He
states that he never lost a case when the
remedy was used at the earliest stage of the
infection. For infants he used the milk of
sulphur, and for Older children and adults
the stronger flowers of sulphur, and when it
could not be swallowed some of the powder
was blown into the threat and nostrils
through a quill.

To Boot and Shoe Dealers.

Messrs. SuteliRe & Owen, Louisville, KY,
have removed their Boot and Shoe Store to
No 239 w. Main Street, the house lately oc-
cupied by Harvey & Keith. They have
adopted the cash system. They have
the capital to buy exclusively for cash
and get bottom prices They sell for
cash only, making no bad debts.
They offer the best quality of fine custom
made work. down 10 medium and low
priced goOds, at 10 to - per cent less than
credit houses, and offer advantages not af-
forded by any house that either buys or
sells on credit. They have a resident buyer
in Boston snd go East a number of times
themselves during the year, taking advan-
tage Of every opportunity to purchase at
low prices, and always getting the largest
per cent. Ter heavy purchases and for cash
down. Their cash price list, which they
will send TO dealers on application, speaks
for itself. 1t gives figures that cannot be
misunderstood. They adhere to the cash
system invariably. Mr.. Henry S. Owens

ICONS Locals.
ByDr ". F. Robinson and Prof R. F. Jarvis.

We note with pleasure the return of Mrs.
Arnold, from the Lone Star State to this
place. She will remain with her daughters,
MrE. Anderson and Mrs. Bradford, for a
short time. Hope she may be contented
and protract the visit. She reports every
thing hourishing in Texas.
We are sorry to say that the little son Of
MIR. MfGlathery IS very i'll, but hopes arc
entertained of his recovery.
Our town was under considerable excite
ment last Wednesday evening in making
preparations for a grand fishing party. Each
one was anxious TO be foremost in the mat
ter Night Jameson and some twelve or IF
teen, old and young, each with his lantern
and fshing-rod, proceeded down the rail
road to the desired spot to spend the night
Preparations had been made previously to
have fry on the grouRds. After remaining
few hours and not catching any fish, sud-
denly strange noise was heard, and one OF
the boys shouted, "ghost, ghost, ghost!" and
there was terrible stampede Each one ar
rived home whole except the Oldest gentle
man, v no lost his bucket in attempting to
be the foremost in the retreat 1t is said
that Squire Blair was seen scouting around
ICONS late that evening, and this fact may
solve the ghost mystery. On the following
day the young gentlemen and ladies con-
cluded to have another ish-fry, which prov
ed a success.
We would earnestly call the attention OF
the people at large to keep their meat houses
locked, as we hear of several instances where
meat has been stolen.

Sometime, when al lfes lessons have been learned,
And sun aRd stars forevermOre have set,
The things which our weak judgments here have
spurned,
The things Ger which we have grieved with Iashcs

As stars shine most in deeper tints of blue,
And We shall see how all Gods plans were right
Aud how what seemed reproof was love most true.
If we could push ajar the gates of life.
And stand within, and all God workings see,
We could interpret all this doubt and strife,
And for each mystery could and key.
But not to-day. Thon be content, poor hearts
Gods plans, like lilies, pure and white unfold.
We aust not tear the elose-shut leaves apart =;
Time will reveal the stamina of gold.
And if, through patient toll, We reach the land
Where tired feet, with sand1es loose, may rest,
When we shall clearly know and understand,

1Er. Editor: In our section we are heartily
gla d that the State debt question is about
TO come to close. For a long time we
feared that the repudiationists would carry
the day and disgrace the State for all time,
but good sense and patriotism prevailed,
and as result we have the 80 cts. PROPOSE
ton with 4 per cent interest. Though some
bondhOlders appear hostile to this PROPOSE
ton, yet, we think that after the question
has been decided favorablY by the people
at the polls that they will accede to the
plan and all Will be well. 1 tell Won Mr.
Editor we are not now nor will we be bur
dened by the State taxes. Here in Harde-
man the various county taxes levied are
too high. Our home rule is too costly.
The State rule is cheap. Economy must
be had here at home. All good citizens
will bear reasonable taxation to meet the
annual interest on the debt
Stop drinking so much whiskey and using
so much tobacco and the people wont feel
the taxes they pay. Some persons know
go 10 town and spend IN one day Tor
liquor as much as their taxes amount to
and these same ones cry out that taxes are
breaking them. 1t is the whiskey bottle
that is bankrupting them. So let us all go
TO work, live economically, work industri-
ously and support the government
The credit of the State must be sustained.
He who stabs it is an enemy to the good
Of the Commonwealth.

is caused by WORMS; they make the check

hearts with anguish. But grievc 10 more,

ENGES will save your child. They expel
the worms from the stomach completely,

The People Want Proof.

There is No medicine prescribed by phySi-
cions, or sold by druggist, that carries such
evidence of its success and superior virtue
as Boschee's German Syrup for severe
coughs, colds settled on the breast, consump-
ton, or any disease OF the throat and lungs
A proof of that fact is that any person al
ficted can get 4 sample bottle for 10 cents
and try its superior effect before buying the
regular size at 10 cents. 1t has lately been
introduced in this country from Germany
and its wonderful cures are astonishing ev-
ervone that use it. Three doses will relieve
and case. Try it. Sold by r. NJ. Ham
