"Aunt SALLY shaw.

Having faithfully met all the require
ments of duty at home, in the community
and in the church during prolonged pill
grimage on earth, Mrs. SARAH SHAW fell
asleep in Jesus at her home in Cheatham
county, Tenn. June 3, 1880. She was born
in North Carolina, Sept. 81, 1898. Her par
entS were Jacob and Sarah Binkley. She
was married TO Thomas Shaw Oct. u, 1890,
and in 1899 was left a widow with seven
sons, all of whom she reared to manhood.
Five survive her. No better mother ever
lived "Hcr children arise up and call her
blessed" 1t was the chief pleasure of every
member of the household to administer to
her comfort and happiness when, in feeble
ness from age and affiiction. her life-wOrk
was done, and her hating steps were near
ing the tomb. She stated of her own ac-
cord, in her last moments of consciousness,
that she was ready 10 depart and be with
Christ. Indeed she was. She protested re-
ligion and joined the Methodist church in
1898, and nom that time until the day of
her death, she maintained her Christian in
tegrity with unwayering fidelity-true to
her religion and true TO her church to the
last. Her piety was of the scriptural kind
experimental and practical. She loved Je-
sus, and, like him, sought opportunities TO
do good, especially among the sick and
needy. She loved and supported the ordi-
nances Of the church, and was ever subject
to the discipline thereof. She was, In short,
the recognized pattern of old MethOdism
throughout this region of country. Her
house was ever one of those blessed Gases in
this desert of life known as preachers
homes. 1t was emphatically and pre-emi-
nentIy such, as host Of preachers in the
Tennessee conference and some in other
conferences viii testify. The multitude
that gathered together at her burial prom
ised on Bonded knees TO meet her in heav-
en-, for all felt that she was their friend.

The GIorions Eonrth.

The fourth of July, coming on a
Sunday, the third will be celebrated
by some and the fifth by Others.
On the third (our day of publica-
tiOn) Prof. TAFT gives his dinner and
other entertainments at Idaho
Springs, winding up, as usual, with
dance. The professor always
makes things lively and his visitors
will no doubt have a good time.
On the same day there is to be a
brandance and barbecue at Corban-
dale in the good old style.
There is also to be barbecue and
neighbOrhOOd reunion at McAdoO
to-day, and those who attend will
have no cause to regret it, for the
managers are certain to have
enough to feed all who may be pres
ent.
On the fifth the Catholics have
their annual festival at Bradley's
grove. These meetings are always
the source of much enjoyment, and
are numerously attended.
It is not announced where or
when the HI. G. G. holds its dread
tribunal, as this is always an inscru-
blemystery to all but the initiated.
Its appointed session, however, is as
sure as destiny let all men trembIe
who have incurred the penalties of
its violated laws.

The RifIe shOoting-mateh.

Last week we reported the score
of five members Of the G. C. G.s who
crossed the river to test their quail
ties as marksmen with rifles. We
also then published their challenge
to any other five of the company to
shoot a match with them. This
challenge was accepted by five
other members, and it was arranged
that the match should come off on
Tuesday afternoon in the beautiful
grove at the residence of Patrick
Henry, Esq. Twenty cartridges
were to be fired by each man at a
distance of one hundred yards.
The challenging party (blue) were
Messrs. RObb, Byers, Coutts, Main
hardt and Rudolph. Mr.. Richard
Caldwell, however, shot as substi-
tute for Mr.. COutts, who was de-
tanned in town by necessary bust
ness.
Tha accepting party (red) We're
Messrs. TOombs, Campbell, Allen,
Williams and FOwlkes.
The following is the score, giving
the victory to the Blues by q ma
jOrity.
Richard Caldwell, on the part of
the Blues, is thus determined as the
champion marksman of the COM
Dany:

=. w. n. University.

In another column will be found
the annual announcement of this
valuable institution. We do not
for a moment doubt that the good
work done at the university during
the past session by the unremitting
exertions of its able faculty will
secure large increase of attendance
for the coming session. The school
has influential church connections,
but has now shown cOnclusively
that it does not rely upon them for
support, but challenges the favorable
consideration of the community by
good, solid, honest work efficiently
and intelligently performed. This
is the only reliable condition of sue
cess, and one which we have never
known to fail. For ourselves, we
consider it a great privilege for any
community to have in its midst a
body of intellectual and cultivated
men such as now fill the chairs in
our university.

water-works.

A committee was appointed at
the last meeting of the city council,
with Alderman John D. Moore as
chairman, to confer with Captain
Daniel for the purpose of coming to
some arrangement with the water
works company.
The parties held an interview,
when the following proposition was
made on the part of the city: That
the city pay the company $1,000 per
annum for the use of the present
hydrants for fire purposes and to
flush CUTTERS, etc.; the company to
bind themselves to keep always at
least eighty feet of water in the
stand-pipe; that reasonable for
fixture be agreed upon for failure in
fulfilment of contract, unless such
failure be the result of unavoidable
accident, and the cessation of rent
so long as the failure continues.
All this was offered subject to the
ratification of the city council.
Capt. Daniel declined this offer
and made counter-propositiOn to
furnish water for fire purposes alone
for $1,000 a year, which in their
turn the committee declined.
And there the matter rests. We
cannot help thinking that it would
have been better for the company
to accept the city's offer, but every
man understands his own business
best.

Some one who seeks to undermine
and overthrow the intentions of an
honest man, has taken upon himself
to make and circulate the report that
J. E. Moseley, Esq, has caused me
to come out as candidate for sheriff,
thinking the vote which 1 would get
would diminish Mr.. Perkins vote
and thereby elect Mr.. Moseley. l
take this method of informing the
public generally that said report is an
Infamous lie, and he who told it is a
ia1', and the truth is not in him.
do not say this through the CHRoN-
ICLE only, but am ready and willing
at any time to face the author and
tell him of it to his teeth. Respect

BoOk-bindfng.

We have seen at the CHRONICLE
bindery a splendid specimen of
book-binding. 1t is an illustrated
Bible in two volumes, solidly bound
in the best morocco with beveled
boards and extra gilt edges. We
here desire to say that the same es-
Enlistment has done some good
work for ourselves individually /;
several volumes of the London IL
Illustrated News and some valuable
musical works have been put in
first-rate order for use for us, and
we have never seen better work
anywhere. Much is saved by bind
ing up loose matter, which, when
loose, is very perishable. Such mat
ter should be carried at once to the
CHRONICLE bindery.
The Bibles aforementioned will
be on exhibition for time at s. b.
Stewards drugstore. Anyone wish
ing to see a specimen of really art
istic work, will do we'll to call there
and see them.

Miss MatEilI at the Press AssocIa-
Inn


We did not attend the meeting of
the state press association at Jack
son last month, and consequently
had not the advantage of hearing
MISS Jennie Mattill deliver her lau-
reate poem. From perusal of it
in the colurans of our neighbor, the
Leaf, we find it even better than we
had anticipated from her we'll
known talent. We select beauti-
full application of an old legend from
the Talmudl as a specimen of this
elegant composition:
There is a legend of the Talmud old.
That ages ere the earth or heavens We're
rolled
From out the void of space, all souls Of men,
Tho yet unborn, had being, and that when
Each soul was giv'n at the Almighty will
human frame to animate and thrill,
Lest hints OF Gods great mysteries should
slip
From it out TO the world, upon the lip
OF the unconscious child, an angel laid
His finger, and the magic touch conveyed
The seal of silence 10 the soul, which straight
Forgot all knowledge of its past estate.
Full wen that angel did his work. Fast
sealed
Our spirits are, and from MS are concealed
The mysteries Of Life and Being; dumb
Are we and unFesponsive, while the hum
of Natures thousand voices round us sweIls
To strange, sweet songs, within whose
depths there dwells,
Could we but catch the melody, so much
OF deep soul-knowledge; but the angels
Has raade us deaf as dumb, and our sealed
ears
Hear not those notes wandering from higher
spheres.
Yet, now and then, into our world are sent
Great earnest souls, who for time are |
The power to break the angels silent seal,
And some OF LIES deep secrets to reveal;
Souls who, mid all the turmoil and the |
strife
With which our busy earth is ever rife,
Hear echoes of sweet music sounding clear,
Faint, far-Oh sounds, too low for duller ear /
Who, listening more intentlys catch the |
strain
And breathe 1t forth INTO the world again.
But lip to ear were silent, did not air
Above, beneath, around las everywhere
Take up and bear the sound, and all as still |
Is heart to heart, nor does sweet sOul-speech
thrill rr-
Where there's no inter-medium; but the
Press
such medium proves itself, and those who
bless
With gift OF song or poesy our earth
Know that since t4aGs:5ut found speech, or
learning birth,
No medium, half so clear, has borne along
The wondrous echoes OF their wOndrous
song.

MRS. SUSAN HARVEY, wife of VIM. Har-
vey, Esq, and daughter Of Thomas Batson
died at her home on the southside, June q,
1880, aged 40 years.
In the death of this excellent woman, not
only the family is bereaved, but the whole
community feels the loss. 81 hope have
not an enemy in the world" was among
her last words. Amiable, intelligent, and
OF engaging manners, and these joined to a
comedy person and deep piety, no wonder
she had large circle of friends. Quietness
and order reigned in her home. She bore
her long and painful sickness with great pa
thence, and she was fully conscious of the
approaching end. Although too weak to
talk much, she called her family to her bed
side and gave each her dying message, and
took an affectionate leave of them. She
had become member of the Methodist
church in her 18th year, and well had she
sustained the character of n consistent
Christian through all the journey of life.
The funeral services were conducted mt her
paternal home, that her aged and infirm
mother might participate in them An i'm
mense coneourse of friends and relatives at
tended them and followed her remains TO
the family cemetery Eat Rest !" said the
motto on the casket, and we feel confident
that she rests in peace. j. w. G.

BIG ASSESSMENT.
which may Result in paying off
"a Large Portion of the
County Debt.

Mr.. John S. Neblett, county trus-
tee, has recently completed an as
sessment against the property of
the Louisville L Nashville railroad
company lying within Montgomery
county, upon which no tax has
been paid for period of twenty
years. The tax due the county,
according to this assessment, ex-
ceeds one hundred thousand dollars.
At the last term Of the Chancery
court, a bill was filed by the l.. & n.
II. r.. Co., enjoining the assessment
and collection of this tax. The
chancellor modified the injunction
80 as to permit the assessment to be
made, all other questions arising
under the bill are to be determined
hereafter. The county is represent
ed by Col. A. G.. Goodlett, Munford
a. Munford, and w. A. Milliken,
while Smith & LurtOn, and Quarles,
Daniel & Goodpasture, are the at
torneys for the railroad. We are
that no taxes have been
heretofore assessed against this
for the reason that it was
the conceived opinion that it was
exempt from taxation by the terms
Of the charter of the original cor
pOratiOn, (the Memphis, GAINESVILLE
4 Louisville, Railroad Coz The
Supreme court settled this question
against the railroad in a similar
Ease which went up from Sumner
county and a like decision is conf
lently expected in favor of Mont
yomery county, in which event |
.hese back taxes will be collected,
md when collected will pay large |
part of the coUntys Indebtedness.

hand, and the small sum charged
for admission (only ten cents) is
amply repaid by the increased
accommodation and the more at
tractive character communicated TO
the place.

Mr.. w. T. PACE, of this county,
presented us with a specimen OF
spring wheat a few days ago. He
procured a few grains only, and
sOwed them in the garden on the
23d day of March. The grains are
very large and perfect, and we are
of the opinion that if it had been
sown late in the fall, the proper
time for such wheat to be sOwn, it
would make a better yield than the
wheat usually harvested in this vi
entity.
