h Russellvillc, on Friday, July 3Oth. 1880, SUE PERRY, in the l4th year of her age.
 Miss Sue was an unusually bright and attractive young lady, the com- panion of . large social circle, and the cherished daughter of fond parents. It is sad for them to give her up just as she was merging into beautiful woman hood, but she has given up her young life as pure as when she took it. and as she joins in the songs of the celestial throng above, she forms another link connecting her relatives and friends with the bright home beyond the River of Death.

A Sabbath School Picnic.
 RussELLviLLE, Aug. 2d, 1880.

Aso~SsktvAAbhS mug SNf AOoOs
 Last Saturday will be long remem- bersd for It was one of picnics and pleasant hours. There were two cslebratlons on said day; but the one in which we were particularly inter ssted and to which ws looked forward with fond anticipations, was the Sabbath school picnic given at Shi- loh, about two and one halt miles north of this city. So when the hour arrived for our departure hence, not withstanding the clouds were float ing slowly, looking angry. and gath ering close above our heads; not withstanding the dust rose like heavy fsg along the highway, and losing its power to rise, came gently back re- clinsd on us its fellow ''dust;" not withstanding the city looked attract i've, and the very pavsments, the whited walls, and the glittsring bel fries with . still small inaudibls voics bade us stay, your reporter in company with . Aumbsr of other pleasure seekers sought the rural districts.
 Aftsr . short and dusty drive ws arrived at the Shiloh campground whore were assembled about 300 citizens and where the programme for the day was as follows: l. Song of reception bv Shiloh | s s. The Baker Creek Sabbath school marched up in regular pro. cession and teok seats under the large shed. Only a part of Centre Valley school being present, it's mem. bsrs did not march up in regular order.
 2. Song y all the schools present. 3. Prayer by Mir. Jno Clingnan. 4. Welcome address by Mir. John s. Williamson.
 5. Song by Shiloh s. 5. 6. Address by Dr. Johnson, of Dover.

 2. Address by MT. Lawrence Russell, of Russellville. 3. Music conducted by MT. c w. Bolss.
 4. Adjournment. In our brief communication it would be futile for us to attempt . criticism that would at-all do justice to the above programme. We will simply say that the music was good, appropriate and beautiful. The ad- dressss were we'll timed, interesting and instructive. The dinner was ex : csllent, so bountlful, 90 refreshing and % good. There was no lack of grace on the part of the far ladies Tn doing the honor of the occasion. With the purifying and blessed in huence of the ladies playing upon our minds and our affections, we all ate heartily and felt that we were welcome.

HORNETS CONFESSION.

Col. John W. Fernsy, of Phila dslphia. for long years an active partisan on the Republican side, but having become disgustsd with the party, thus exposes the depths of wicksdusss weighting it down and paving its way ts inevitable dss- truction:
 "Gsn. Garfield comes into the field as candidate for president at time when party allegiance has become as weak as allegiance to royalty. The only fruit of party allegiance has been to enrich tho corrupt and to honor the mediocre. If successful now it will rrolong the most disas- trous personal rule that disgraced any country. 7 *.sH
 "Wsll, gentlemen, who are left to stir the caldron. to keep the fires of rancor burning, to wave the bloody banner? What brave soldier is there to day, what battle scared veteran, that does not know that, in this commonwealth at least, the re- publican machine has degensratsd into . job, . machine not to elevate the good but to bear them down, not to improve but to degrade, not to pardon but to punish?
 "What is hers written is true to almost every other cummunity. In Pensyluania it is pitiably and no toriously true. From Philadelphia to Allegheny the republican party has become . job, nothing more, with rare sxcspeioas. The men cent to the legislature end selected for the offices of profit in these two great cities arc the obsdient slaves of the .ring," and to boss the machine has become the new order of statssman- ship.
 "Ons hundred thousand ofiee- holders. each claiming to control at least two votes besides his own, make 3O0,OOO jannissariss working for pay, not only to keep themselves in office, bat to psrpetnate the power of their mastsrs. This vast army is now banded together against Gen. Han cock, and there is but ono equal in- fusDcs to check and crush it. mean lO0, 900 union veterans, black and white. These arc natural an. tagonists to the placsmsn, who not onlv keen ont of daaarvad em plov msnt and promotion the real defen- dsrs of the republic, but toll and threaten to keep their masters is.

 --The Little Rock Gazette of the lst inst. announces . series of i'm provsments which will tend to in crease the popularity of that long established journal. Insaddition to . new dress, it will daily contain the full telegraphic report of the associ- atcd press, the same as is given by all the leading dailiss in the U. s. This will increase the interest and importance of the Gazette and make it as valuable in point of news as the St. LouIs dailies. The editorial management is soisly in charge of Col. R. H. Johnson. gentleman of scholarly attainmsnts, sxtsndsd in formation and . writer of well known ability. We are pleased to zee the Gazette take its place in the galaxy of wsstern newspapers, and trust that ;ts motto will still be onward and upward.
 --The fact that Col. Cravens has servsd two terms In congress, and that he has made an efllcient and at tentive representative, argues that hs should bs returned there, rather than soms new man be sent in his stead. No new man unacquaintsd with hIs fellow members, and unus- cd to tho rules of the ssvsrat depart ments can step into the place of . man with four years experience and accomplish as much as he. No bus. iness man would think of turning o0 . book keeper or salesman becauss hs had held the position four years just to mako room for . new man without 1 any experience. It will bs unfortun- ate indeed for this district if . either one of Col. Crayen's competitors, wholly unpreparsd as they arc, to % to work for the people, bs nominated in his stead.
