Death of an Excellent Woman.

Mrs. Marcella Lam beth, relict of
G. H. Lambeth, and mother of Mr..
j. Cal. Lambeth, died at her resi-
dence in Testers Station on the al
ternoon Of the 2lst inst, of bron-
chitis, aged SO years. The death of
this excellent woman, whose vir-
tues graced the matronage of the
county, not only darkens the
hearthstones of her immediate fam
lily, but it casts a shadow on the
hearts of many fond and affection
ate friends. Mrs. Lambeth devel-
oped in every relation of life the
higher types of woman's character,
and those who, like ourselves, have
shared her kind and genial hospi
tally can bear witness to her many
admirable qualities. For many
years she was a devout and con-
sistent member of the Cumberland
Presbyterian church and q deep,
but pretentious piety, which
added to her other virtues the
browning one of faith in Him who
reigns on high, supported her tri-
umphantly through the valley OF
the shadow of death. Her remains
were brought to the residence other
daughter, Mrs. f. w. Rudd, in this
place, Thursday morning last and
inferred in the new cemetery in the
afternoon. The funeral services
were conducted in an impressive
manner by Rev. Mr.. Wall, pastor
OF the Cumberland Presbyterian
church.

How the Nan and Brother Gave
His Pale Faced Republican
Bedfallovve q RIaek Eve

oS04S44oWS q 9laCk 6yes
The Republican Mass Meeting,
called for Saturday last, convened
In the court house at noon. The
seductions of sawdust and the prom
ised exhibition of shapely limbs in
the arena, proved too strong
for many of the pale faced gentle
men who were expected to rally
around the Standard of Morris and
strike blow or two and even four
or five, if necessary, for Blaine OF
Maine. They heard the music of
the band, they had already wit
messed the street parade, and when
the Hateful hour arrived TO strike q
blow for the Plumed Knight they
struck for the circus instead with all
the agility of the ohamois scram
bling over the Alpine crags.
Sambo, however, was equal to the
occasion. He was there for bust
ness and the destinations of the
ring were lost upon him. He
rushed in q swarm to the court
house when the bell rung, and when
the meeting was called to order and
the curtain rung up, it did not take
him long to show the crowd that he
was ''cock of the walk" T. Hanna
Gibbs, ESQ.,, was elected chairman,
and the ball opened. Mr.. j. H.
Morris, in an earnest speech, depre-
Gated the action of the convention
which assembled here a few weeks
ago in the interest of Grant, and
made an effort to have its action
resclnded. In fact, he introduced a
resolution in that direction which
was promptly voted down by the
preponderating Cuffee. A resolu
ton, ratifying the action of the
former convention in sending a
solid Grant delegation to Nashville,
was then adopted with a whoop and
the brush was over. Blaine's sup
porters skunk silently away, Grants
dusky fuglemen filed out into the
street with many a knowing wink
and grin, and then silence like q
poultice came to heal the blows OF
sound. The white republicans,
eighty per cent. of whom are for
Blaine, are very indignant, OF
course, but they are in no condition
to help themselves. They lay all
the blame upon j. R. Dillin, chair
man of their state executive com
mittee, whose fine Italian hand they
say can be traced through the
whole proceeding. 1t is said he is
manipulating all the county conven-
tion in the state, and using his of
fetal position to pack them for
Grant. ALI OF which is interesting,
no dOuht.

ExGov Jobn c. Brown reached

Ex-Gov.. John G Brown reached
Pulaski Sunday morning, acc1mpa
MED by Mrs Brown, who had joined
him in Nashville. He was In fine
health-;ndeed we do not Ienem
Der having seen him look more Wig
orous. He is embrowned by ex
posure, and not ''sicklied DER with
the pale cast of thought as was
the case vii he toiled in the
courts or xrestled with the perplex-
ing problems of politics, and the
change leaves the imprint Of robust
health on his striking countenance.
The Governor spoke in the highest
terms of the Centennial opening, in
which he was a conspicuous and
honored figure. He said it was, in
every detail and upon the whole,
infinitely creditable to Nash
vile. We alluded to his recent
visit to Washington and made in
quiry as TO the state Of feeling there
concerning the democratic presi
Dental nomination. He SAID opIn-
ion was greatly divided, SO much
so, indeed, that it would be difficult
to say in which direction public
sentiment preponderated. He be
lieved, however, that if doubts were
not entertained as TO Mr.. Seymour's
ply ability to sustain a canvass,
and his acceptance of the nomina
ton should it be rendered him, the
feeling would be so strong in his
favor as to relegate to obscurity
other known aspirants. AS matters
stood now, there is a growing feel
ing among congressman in favor of
Justice Field, of the supreme court.
Governor Brown, accompanied by
Mrs. Brown and their Two young
est children, left for Texas Tues
day. His older daughters, Misses
Minnie and Daisy, will spend a
week or so with relatives in Muir
freesboro and then return here to
resume their studies at Martin Col
lege.

How to Have Good Roads.

Mr.. EDIToR:-I have read sever
al communications in your recent
issues in regard to the miserable
condition of our public roads.
Now, in this part of the county
where / reside, 1 must say that du-
ring last winter our roads were well
nigh impossible. / was once ap
pointed an oversser of a certain
public road only few miles from
this place, and upon examination /
found my road impossible to loaded
wagons. Alter the crops were laid
by, l warned in my hands and
ditched my road on each side and
threw the dirt to the center of the
road, thereby making the center of
the road the highest point and COM
pletely draining the water from the
centre. By the time winter came on,
ny road was nard and firm, and
was the best road in that vicinity,
and did not have to be worked again
in one year. After the winter rains
set In and the hauling season com
mences, it does no good to work
roads. Our only remedy to have
good roads is to work them in the
summer or fall, ditch and drain
them we'll, and if overseers would
spend few days in either of the
above seasons and put their roads
in good condition, it would be
work saved, and we would have
good roads; but the general rule is
to warn hands in for three days,
and finish their roads in one day.
Our laws are sufficient, if enforced,
to have good roads. Our legisla-
ture, or county court, is not to
blame, but our grand juries should
see that oyerseers put their roads in
good condition, and if the ovcrseer
tails to do his duty, then the law
says what the consequences shall
be. A CITIZEN.

NO LIB
DEPOT DOTS.

Trains are running on time
again.
All the new freight cars now be-
ing built for this road are of $4,000
lbs. capacity.
The severe storm of Sunday did
no damage To- the track but it play
ell havoc with the telegraph wires.
Steel rails are now being rapidly
supplied to the n. g. ID road. At
the present rate, the entire road
will shortly be relaid with them.
So far but few tickets to the Cen
tennial have been sold at Pulaski;
but the low rates, and the attractions
of the Exposition itself, will create
4 demand for them later, perhaps.
The circus men had a moist time
of it loading their equipments dur
ing the terrific rain Sunday after
noon. They were all thoroughly
drenched and did not finish their
work until three o'clock next morn
ing.
We noticed a box in the depot
yesterday marked "L. Vernevedel-
donk." lack Lasseter tried TO
pronounce the name but before he
reached the fourth syllable his jaw
bone began to crack and he was
forced to desist.

Volunteer.

The Dixie Farmer, of the 22ud,
in notice Of MIR. A. j. McKim-
minis fine stallion Monarch, in it's
Horse and Stocks Notes, says that,
as far the writer knows, Monarch
is the only son of the renowned
Volunteer ever brought to Tennes
see. We beg to inform the writer
that this is a mistake. The late
Maj. Geo. L. Altman of Marshall
county purchased in New York
just four years ago, for $4,000,
High Private, a son o: Volunteer,
aud brought him to Tennessee.
High Private is very dark dapple
bay, 164 hands high, no white. He
was sired by Volunteer, 1st dam
Lady Ulster (by Mambrino Mes
senger, he by Mambrino Pay mas
ter, he by Mambrino Thorough
bred;) End dam by Old Childers
Che by Calican High Private
was injured in training and was
never brought upon the turf.
Maj. Altman died soon after the
accident, and at the general sale OF
his stock High Private was pur
chased by Mr.. f. G. Butord, of
BuforPs Station, Giles county,
where he is now in the stud. None
of his get have been trained as yet,
but all OF them that we have seen
are large and very stylish. This is
his second season here, and only
few days since we saw several of
his first get in Giles county and all
OF them we think of unusual prom
Use. Mr.. Buford showed US a fl
ly colt out of Lady Forest (by Ed
win Forest) that is a real beauty,
aud we are of the opinion that if
trained it viii achieve a reputation
worthy of its renowned grand-sire.

night, after undergoing great suf

of recovery from the beginning,
but she did not once murmur al
though life undoubtedly had charms
for one endowed like her with
youth and health. The meekness
and patience with which she bore
her Affections, bore testimony to
the excellence of her character.

a few days ago, which may cause

as a seat, when the vehicle ran into
a ditch and was overturned, throw
ing him over the side where be was

SO Tar as we can learn, and we
have made careful inquiry, the fruit
crop was not so badly injured by
the late frost as was at first
thought. Peaches, it is true, were
seriously damaged, but we are like
ly to have enough to give us all a
taste. Apples will be abundant,
as well as plums and cherries.
Pears suffered considerably. We
have no account Of the small fruits,
and are thus enable to make a re-
mort of their condition.

The Circus.

An immense crowd of people col
lected in town Saturday to attend
Coles circus. The weather waa
fine and everybody seemed to be in
high spirits. The street parade
was very creditable pageant, and
was quite up to public expectation.
The show itself, however, was not
above the average, although there
were several special features which
merited much praise. The day
passed off very quietly and there
was less drunkenness than we ever
saw on a similar occasion.
