A Sad Accident,

DR.. Z. Jack Malone, formerly
deputy postmaster at Pulaski, but
now a citizen of Benton, Missouri,
had the misfortune TO lose his little
son, Otis, recently, ander very pain
full circumstances. The Benton
(Mo. } Banner, of the Oath ult gives
the particulars, as fallows:
Last Sunday afternoon, about 4
O'Clock, Dr. E. j. Malone, of Little
River, lost his six year old son Otis,
in a manner peculiarly painful to
himself, family and friends. A
twelve year old son of Mr.. Overton
at this place and OtIs were playing in
a room at the doctors house, unob.
served by the rest of the family in an
other room, when a report of pistol
was heard, and upon entering found
that the twelve year old lad had
shot Otis accidentally, the eall
passing quite through the body.
Otis lived few minutes but never
smoke again. He was bright,
cheerful child, and one in whom
his now bereaved parents took
great pride, He was taken to Dex-
ter on Monday afternoon aud bur
ried in the cemetery at that place.
We extend our sympathies to the
Doctor and his disconsolate family
in this the sad hour of their be-
reavement.

Sneed and Nancy,

Judge j. L. L. Sneed, democratic
elector for the state-at-large, and
Gen. George Nancy, his republican
competitor, addressed a small au-
dience st the court house Saturday
afternoon. The fair berng In pro-
gress at the time operated against a
large attendance, and the lateness
of the hour 6 o'clock at which
the speaking commenced, compelled
the orators TO pass rather hurriedlY
over the field OF discussion. Judge
Sneed made a forcible and convinc-
ing presentation OF the claims of
the democratic nominees and re-
viewed the dangerous designs and
corrupt tendencies OF the republi
can party il succinct but vivid
style. His speech was logical and
dignified, appealing strictly to the
reason, not TO the prejudices, of his
hearers. Gen. Nancy followed in a
eunningly contrived effort to sugar
coat the nauseous pills which the

republican party have forced the
country to swallow. He is plaus
IDLE speaker, with peculiar talent
for making glitterlng generalities
pass current for logical deductions;
but his arguments, when subjected
to a critical analysis, lack force
and penetration. Besides, he is de-
cidedly verbose, with a penchant
for initiating his subject with airy
flights of rhetoric. The audience
could hardly repress a smile when
he credited the republican PARTY
with wisdom, craftsmanship and
magnanimity. A portion of the
speech was cunning appeal to the
negroes, which was greedily swal
lowed by the man and brother; but
the rest of it fell fiat and convinced
nobody. Judge Sneed made fine
impression and his speech will have
a good effect.

ElktOn.

Elkton seems doomed to obscu-
rity so far as the columns OF the
CITIZEN are concerned, unless /
feeble effort. If we don't make
much fuss about it, we are steadily
improving all the same. Our mer
chants have received large stocks of
goods, our mechanics have more
than they can do and our doctors
get enough practice TO keep them
from starving. There seems to be
something OF mania for building
in our town just now. Mr.. Will
liam Vaughn will soon have his pref
ty residence completed. The hand
some residence of DR.. A. l.. Glaze
is nearly ready for occupation.
Col. A. d. Bull has had a front
porch added TO his residence, and
Mr.. Neil Hollis is having the front
of his residence remodeled. Mr..
Tom Holland is having a neat
house built near the pike, not far
from town, and there is new wood
shop on the pike nearly opposite
the residence of A. w. Moore, esq.
| understand the last named gen
tleman will soon commence improv-
ing the vacant lot on the pike
dorth of his orchard. He intends
to have quite handsome residence,
the architect and builder to be Mr..
Thomas Watterson, of Pulaski.
Mr.. j. 2. Bledsoe has sold his
house and lot where he is now liv
ing to Mr.. Sam Hollon, of Bethany,
but we hope Mr.. Bledsoe will buy
a home in Elkton for we cannot
afford to lose such a citizen as he
is. You can see that Elkton is i'm
proving fast, and in the near future
is destined to be q town of consid-
cradle size and Importance. Sever
al of our young people attended the
fair and theater in Pulaski last
week and had jolly time. Miss
Sue Bull enjoyed herself so much
she Is there yet; at least, she
hasn't come home and we suppose
she is in Pulaski. Mr.. Tazewell
Ezell left last Thursday to attend
a course of medical lectures at Van
derbilt University, and Mr.. George
Hunter left for the same place Sun
day. Some of the girls have sore
eyes, they have cried so mnch.
Miss Lee Bowers, who is a pupil
of Martin College, came home last
Friday to spend day or two
CAPTAIN Ridgeway has returned
from Hot Springs, Ark, aud is in
very feeble health.
Marcella, the little daughter of
Mr.. c. o. Bull, is quite sick and
has some symptoms of typhoid fe
yer. Oar people are getting ready
to attend conference as it will meet
SO near us, and She young ladies
are greatly excited about the finery

Whit they will l.. n. There are
some whisperings of certain matri-
monial alliances in this vicinity,
but perhaps we can tell you more
about them little later.

County Court was discussing
pauper collins Tuesday and the dfll-
Guilty with them was who should be
considered a pauper. Some men
are poor with a farm that IL takes
all day TO ride around, while others
are rich and careless who have 20
go to bed to have their clothes
washed. Who, then, is a pauper In
the sense that the county must
bury him? Perplexing, indeed,
was the question, and the court
worried over IL and talked about
it until they saw they were about
to make the county a paupcr, when
Esq. Jersey came 20 the rescue by
moving that "A man should be con
sidered a pauper when he bad 10
lean agin u bush TO sneeze. Tho
resolution passed, but IL is inopera-
tive because no appropriation WAS
made to pay man 10 stand tue

cts move as usual, Europe is still
alive with rumors Of war, com
merco moves steadily on, and the
shuttle Of time speeds steadily
through the great loom Of years
as usual.

Mr.. Rankin, in his speech last
Monday, said that federal legisla-
tion was mainly responsible for the
financial troubles of the people and
their inability to sustain the bur
thens of taxation. Then why is be
not acting with the only party hav-
ing the slightest hope of success
that stands pledged TO reform and
correct this legislation. Tennesses
pays $l6,000.000 federal taxes
every year nearly the full amount
of the principal of the state debt.
The democratic party will reduce
this amount one half, or enough ia
two years TO pay the entire
state debt if compromised at go
cents on the dollar. Then, why
doesn't Mr.. Rankin support the
democratic nominees for national
offices instead of frittering away his
time on Weaver, mere agent OF
the republicans, whose party will
not black the board in the canvass.
The people especially all good
democrats, will surely see his in.
consistency in tue matter.

Tennessee Conference Items.

The tennessee Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, South,
will convene in Pulaski Wednesday
morning next. The sessions OF the
Conference will be held in the Meth
odist Church, which has been thor
oughly overhauled and refurnished
for the occasion. The seating ca
pacity of the edifice is ample and
there will be room enough for dele
gates and visitors. We sincerely
trust that the influence of this great
body of enlightened christians viii
be felt throughout the county and
that the teachings of the holy men
of God who compose it will have
the effect of softening the hearts of
our people. Surely, the harsh and &C
rmonious disputes between neigh
bors and friends, over political
questions, will melt away when the
banners of the Prince of Peace are
uafurled and every pulpit and every
hearthstone becomes musical with
tho sweet whisperings of divine love
and mercy. Saint and sinner must
alike succumb TO the Christening
spirit of the Word.
The following gentlemen have
Heen appointed n committee of re.
ception TO represent the hospitali-
~ of Pulaski and show members OF
the Conference TO their homes: DR..
Q. G. Alternately, Maj. L. M. Jones.
f. Smithson, w. A. Gilmore, John
.. Carter and IL. Arrowsmith.
The Conference will be com
posed of about 220 preachers and
As lay delegates. Add to these the
large number of persons who will
attend the sessions of that body as
spectators, and we have about 600
visitors that Pulaski will be called
upon to entertain next week. Yet
the hospitality OF the town will be
equal to the emergency. All fears
OF failure in providing homes for
ministers and delegates have been
dissi pated this week by the generous
offers of hospitality that have come
in from every direction. Everybody
will be snugly housed and comforta-
ably provided for. The ministers
and members of the other religious
denominatlonshave Joinedwith their
Methodist brethren in this gener-
Gus work and opened wide their
hoNses and their hearts. This
shows that the ties of christian
brotherhood are strong IN this com
munity.
Several distinguished missiona-
ries will attend the Conference.
Prominent among these are DR..
Lambeth and wife of China, who
have spent thirty years among the
Celestials, and Rev. j. j. Ransom,
of Brazil. Rev. w. w. Royal and
wife, of Virginia, and Revs. McLane
and Loehr, Of Georgia, will also at
tend and be ordained as missiona-
ries to China. They will leave Pu-
laski for that country Immediately
after the adjournment of the Con
ference, and will be accompanied by
Rev. DIR. Haygood, president Of EN-
DRY College, Georgia.
The venerable Bishop Robert
Paine will preside over the Tennes-
see Conference. Though age bears
heavily upon him and bodily indrm
titles are sorely taxing his strength,
it is thought he will be able TO dis
charge the duties incumbent upon
his high office. The early years of
his ministry were spent in this
county and we learn that he is ex-
tremely anxious to revisit the field
of labor in which were first dis
played those high qualities which
subsequently raised him to the epis
copate.

perplexing questions of the day.
We all know Jno. G. Brown and we

hear what his advice is. Hawkins
election must be averted in some
way. The party is in imminent

radicalism is coIled for a fatal
spring. Can patriots falter? Come

chickens were roostlng in a chin
ney corner, when the victim of the
tragedy appeared for the purpose Of
carrying some of them off surrep-

tempt. The first time he escaped
without being seen, but was heard
running off. The second visit
proved fatal, for Mr.. Eel let fly at
him the contents of double barrel

stop to his thieving propensities.
The thief was a fox, domesticated
and owned by son of Mr.. T. j.
