PALMYRA.


The funeral of Evan E. Jones, an
account of whose death appeared in
the Press of last week, was held on
Tuesday, the 18th inst, at the M. E.
Church, and was one of the largest
funerals ever attended in Palmyra.
The Church was crowded, and a large
number were unable to gain admission.
There were over 500 in the Church and
it is estimated that fully 700 people
were in attendance. Two sermons
were preached, one in Welsh by Rev.
John Jenkins, of Palmyra, and one in
English by Rev. Mr.. Brown, Of Deer
field, after which the remains were
conveyed to the cemetery for inter-
ment.
In the death of Mr., Jones Palmyra
has lost one of its most enterprising
citizens. He was one of the foremost
men in getting up our Agricultural
Fair last fall, and was one of the largest
stock farmers in the county. He and
his cattle were at most of the Fairs on
the Reserve last fall, and his stock took
first premium at many of them.
He leaves q wife and two children to
mourn his loss, besides large number
of relatives and friends. TRAPo.

Mr.. ]. e. Beacham, the genial ad-
vance agent of the Original Tennessee
Colored Concert Company, was in
town yesterday, and we are pleased to
state that the Ladies' Aid Society of
the Disciple Church secured the above
troupe TO give one of their unique and
famous concerts in their Church, Sat-
urday evening of this week, for their
benefit, they receiving a part of the
proceeds. This is the same troupe that
was through this part of the State
about four years ago. They are singing
in aid of Thomas University of Knox
vile, Tenn. They are everywhere
greeted with large and delighted audi
ences, are highly endorsed by both
Pulpit and Press. and inasmuch as
they come in the interest of one of our
home Societies, should have a crowded
house. The Mansfield Herald of March
18th has the following:
The concert of the Tennessee Concert
Company was largely attended last
night, and the audience seemed to en-
joy it hugely. The negro melodies
were sung beautifully, and were loudly
encored. Eight colored persons, three
ladies and five gents, comprise the
troupe, all being excellent singers and
well acquainted with the old plantation
songs. Between thirty and forty dol
lars were realized by the Ladies Aid
Society of the Church. The Mendels-
sohn Club no doubt would be pleased
to hear of the reception given this band
of singers.

Correspondence.

MR.. EDITOR AS there has not ap-
peared correspondence in the columns
of your paper from our part of the
township, thought would attempt to
write few items of news.
The general health of our people this
winter have been been better I think
than last. Have had few cases of
diphtheria, but prompt treatment has
prevented very serious results from it.
Wheat does not look as promising as
last year at this time. Some pieces
have the appearance of having been in
jured by the fly. Wheat did not seem
to grow last fall as it ought to have
grown, when we consider the weather.
Some of our farmers are glad to have
warm, open weather as their feed Is
getting low. The old saying, "That
the winter will be sufficiently severe
to use up all the fodder" is verified
again this winter.
Mr.. H. o. Reed, who has been suf-
fering considerably for the past two
years with a head disease, which the
doctors have been unsuccessful in
treating, has started on a trip to Cali
fornia and Oregon, in hopes that he
may be benefited. The doctors recon-
mended him to walk from San Fran
cisco to the Columbia River. If he i'm
proves by taking this trip he will
probably not return before next Sep
tember. The best wishes Of his many
friends go with him, and we all hope
to hear good reports from him.
Schools are nearly all closed in our
township. Our schools, generally
speaking, have been success this
winter. District No. 7, better known
as Heathen Hill District, has furnish
ed five teachers for surrounding schools
this winter, and with one exception
near enough to board at home. All,
SO far as we can learn, have met with
good success. J. w. Hall, an old
teacher and good one, taught at the
Center -four township. Wykes Phelps
taught in Edinburg. 1t was his first
experience. A. HI. BOgue taught at
the Six Corners, northwest of the Cen
ter. He has taught four terms and
three in this district. Edwin Boxue
taught in the Burt District, Edinburg.
It was his second term, and in the
same place. B. J. Bogue, an old and
teacher taught in Heathen
Hill District. It is his third term here.
He is a first class teacher and one we
can recommend to any school in the
county, He has taught us a good
school this winter, and we are proud
of it. We had the pleasure of visiting
his school last Friday the last day of
the term, but the scholars manifested
as much interest in their studies as
they have throughout the whole term.
His per cent. of attendance is 9S. Can
any teacher in the township show a |
better attendance?
The people of our township are agi-
tating the question whether we shall !
have q new Town Hail. We expect |
to vote on it in April. May success
attend US. H.

Bayard Taylor ON the Chinese.

Bayard Tay yl0r ON the Chinese.
The late Bayard Taylor, while in
China, had an opportunity. from per.
sonal observation, Of foI ming a cor.
rect opinion of the coolies. In his
work on India, China aud JAPAN" he
says:
cit is my deliberate opinion that the
Chinese are, morally, the most debased
people on the face Of the earth. Forms
of vice. which in other countries are
barely named, are in China so common
as to excite no comment among the
natives. They constitute the surface
level, and below them are depths of
depravity SO shocking and horrible,
that their character cannot even be
limited. There. are some dark shadows
in human nature which we naturally
shrink from penetrating, and made no
attempt to collect information of this
kind; but there was enough in the
things which could not avoid seeing
and hearing, which are brought almost
daily to the notice of every foreign
resident, to inspire me with q power
full aversion to the Chinese race. Their
touch is pollution, and harsh as the
opinion may seem, justice to our own
race demands that they should not be
permitted to settle on our shore. Sci
ence may have lost something, but
mankind has gained by the exclusive
policy, which has governed China
during the past century.

HIRAM.

The College spring term commenced
last Tuesday, with an attendance less
than the corresponding term one year
ago. This falling off in numbers is one
of the substantial evidences of re-
vival of business We read SO much
about in the Republican papers. The
times are so prosperous that all the
young people are engaged in business,
or SO much so that they cannot spare
time to educate themselves. Or, per-
haps people have become so alarmed at
the imaginary calamities attendant
upon the extra session of Congress that
they think it will not do to invest in
knowledge or anything else. Those
who read and have any confidence in
leading Republican organs, are expect
ing something worse than war, famine
and pestilence, from the extra session
about to convene.
Bro. Garfield was in town last week
and submitted to brief interview the
substance of which was, that "the
Democrats will probably organize the
next House of Representatives.. The
Greenbackers proposed to make him
Spe aker if he would so with them, but
he refused to fall down and worship.
The indications now are that Grant
will be the next Republican candidate
for President" which is apparent to
everybody.
The prospect for an abundant supply
of maple sweetness, this year, is not
ffattering, which, when taken in con-
II lection with the loss of the peach crop
will make the drain on the connubial
supply (of sweetness) enormous.
1t is reported that the Secretary of
War has ordered an investigation of
the Stanley and Hazen difficulty. If
so, we predict that Gen. Stanley will
seriously regret that there was ever
any Hazen permitted in this country.

of each color grouped together and

the other two the red largely predom-

completely maintained.
