WE cut the following from the
Nashville American. Our friends
will be glad to learn that the good
qualities of Capt. Crusman are APP
preciated abroad as well as at home.
The American will accept the assur-
ance of our distinguished consider
alton
Our neighbor city of GAINESVILLE
has reached stage where it needs
a thorough business man at the
head of affairs, and it is determined
to- have him whether or no. Capt.
James j. Crusman, gallant MEM
Der of the Fourteenth Tennessee,
which served with Lee in Virginia,
and one who bears both honorable
marks of service and the highest
character as soldier, has built up
a large grocery business since the
war, and acquired in every respect
the confidence of the community.
After long pressure, at great sac
ritice, he has consented to run for
Mayor. A prominent feature in
the almost unanimous call is one
from the colored voters, showing
how just dealing is not lost upon
the black race. We commend the
example of demanding the services
Of capable men who have demon
strated their capacity in dealing
with their own affairs.

A few days ago it was announced
that Lily MeCuIloch had gone tc
live with the angels, and now little
Daisy, her younger sister, has gone
TO live with her. They were lovely
and beautiful in their lives and in
their death they are not divided.
Lily doubtless was glad to see Daisy
coming to her. Though not much
her senior, yet she always seemed
to exercise a protecting care over
Daisy. At school they were insep-
arabic companions. The arm of one
was often around the neck of the
other in loving embrace. Daisy left
the sheltering roof of her dear faith
er and mother, on the morning of
the 18th inst. There are many
hearts in this community deeply
touched by this sad bereavement.
But alas their sympathy cannot
alleviate the anguish of the suffer-
ing parents. The only balm for
such sorrow is from Heaven. The
loving Savior, who has gathered
these little lambs to his own bos-
ON, will exercise over them low
ing Shepherds care and safely keep
them to the coming, one by one, of
the loved ones left behind.

The mimstreIs.

AT last, after year and halfs
longing, young GAINESVILLE has been
gratified with a first-class minstrel
show. But why did we say young
GAINESVILLE? All ages were repre-
scented at Elders Opera House on
Tuesday night in much the largest
audience that has yet assembled
there.
The company was that of Messrs.
Barlow, Wilson, Primrose & West,
with Happy Cal Wagner thrown in
for good measure. Certainly no
company with so strong a corps of
artists has appeared in GAINESVILLE
since we have resided here. On the
rise of the curtain the arrangement
was seen to be quite an innovation
upon the old semicircle, with the
interlocutor in the middle and
Brudder Bones on the right and
Tambo on the left, as end men, the
interval being filled in by the vari-
Gus chorus singers and instruments.
Here it was all different. The mid
die was occupied by two interlo-
cutOrs, one of whom, by the by, had
a splendid bass voice (Mr. Hawkins,
we understand); on their right was
Brudder Bones, multiplied by four,
and on their left similar multiple
of Tambo. Back of all this was a
sort of amphitheatre, covered with
scarlet cloth, in two elevations, on
the lower of which stood the solo
singers, and above them the instru-
mentalists and the chorus. The
two eud-men were Messrs. Barlow
and Wilson, but in truth they were
all full of talent, wit and humor,
and certainly Cal Wagner was be-
hind no one in the attractiveness of
his pleasant eccentricities. Happy
Cal can always put us in a good
humor, and this time he extracted
all the gall and NORWOOD from
our leading editorial and caused us
to "roar as gently as it were suck
ing dove"
The vocal solos were chiefly sus-
tanned by Messrs. Kelly and Tyrrel,
tenOrs, Storms, barytone, and Haw-
kins, bass. Mr.. Storms has an
exceptionally pleasing voice and an
excellent method of delivering it,
and all the others were decidedly
above the average of minstrel sing
ers.
The comic specialties which fol-
lowed were received with uproari-
Gus yet decOrOus merriment, espe-
cially that of Mr.. McNish, who
certainly managed to throw an
