This popular and very promising
young man died at Arlington Mills
Monday evening last of typho mala-
rial fever, aged 90 years and %

was a shock to the community.
He was employed as salesman at
Capt. A. G. Irvine's and on Wed

planned Of feeling unwell and went
to his fathers residence at Airing
ton Mills, where the symptoms of
of the malignant malady which car

said that Waters was meditating

The Epizootic.

This disease, which has been pre-
vailing among the horses and mules
of the eastern cities, has reached
Nashville, and it is highly pr oba-
BILE that it will make its appearance
in the country districts. We may
look, therefore, for a good deal of
coughing and sneezing among the
beasts of burden in this part of the
moral vineyard. The following
verses contain some good advice to
owners of animals afflicted with the
disease, although they are not over
burdened with the elements OF real
poetry:
A sick horse is not nice object to chrome;
Good health is essential to horse as to homo;
But you wont cure the creature by giving
him bromo.

A Distressing Suicide.

We are sorry to report the sui
eide of a very estimable lady
Mrs. Griflis, widow of the late
William Griffis. She resided near
Wilkes'lmill in this county and had
managed her affairs with so much
prudence and skill since her hus-
bands death, that she lived in the
midst of comfort and plenty. Re-
Gently one of her sons went to
Texas against her wish, and it is
supposed this, and other troubles,
seriously affected her mind. At
any rate, she had shown signs OF
mental alteration and the rash act
was doubtless committed during a
fit of arrangement. While her
children were absent from home,
she hanged herself with two hanks
of strong thread. The height at
which the cord was fastened al
lowed her feet to touch the floor,
but WITH terrible determination she
drew them up and kept them in that
position until her fatal purpose was
accomplished.

Death of Bishop Doggett.

Bishop David S. Doggett, of the
Methodist Episcopal Church South,
died at Richmond, Va, on the night
of the Goth ult. He had been at the
poiut of death for several weeks
but had rallied to such an extent
that hopes were entertained of his
recovery; hence, the sudden unfa-
vorable change which resulted in
his demise was a surprise to his
friends. Bishop Doggett had few,
if any, equals as pulpit orator and
he was greatly beloved and admired
for the chastity and elevation of
his character. His death is not only
a great loss to Southern Methodism;
it will be seriously felt and regret
ted by christian people everywhere.
Memorial services were held at the
Methodist church in Pulaski Sun
day morning last, Rev. DR.. w. M.
Leftwich delivering an eloquent
and feeling eulogy on the character
and services of the dead prelate.
The interior of the church was
draped in black and otherwise dec
Grated with chaste and appropriate
emblems of mourning. A large
ngregation attended.

A private dispatch from Tulla

says that John NJ. Bright and j. H.

A Brace of Precious Thieves.

Tuesday afternoon, two little ne
gro boys named Hosea and Ed
Hamilton, aged five and eight years
respectively, pried open the back
door of Mr.. f. NJ. Bunch's store at
the bridge, while it was closed for
the election, and after effecting an
entrance robbed the cash drawer of
$25 in money. Mr.. Bunch discov-
cred his loss yesterday morning
and got on the track of the thieves.
He found that the two little rascals
had been spending the money freely
enough to excite suspicion and he
had no difficulty in tracing the rob-
berry to them. They were arrested
by Policeman Porter and confessed
the theft, surrendering about $12
of the money, all they had left after
days shopping. 1t is supposed
the dusky youngsters had heard
their parents relating Garfield's ex-
PLOTS in the Credit Mobilier and De
Golyer pavement swindles aud con-
cluded that they might initiate his
illustrious example with profit to
themselves.

We shall heartily rejoice when
the excitement over the election
dies away and the people settle
down to business pursuits again,
forgetting the bitterness of polit-
ical warfare and bending their
minds to the consideration of more
profitable things. We shall rejoice
because it will enable US co bring
the CITIZEN back to the even tenor
of its way and devote all Of its avail
BILE space to general and local news
and reading matter for the family
circle. During the canvass,t the CIT-
IzEN, as a democratic paper, assert
ed its political faith, positively, it is
true; but we hope with due defer
ence to the opinions of those who
honestly differed with it. Certainly
it was not its Intention to assume
dlctatorial airs, or to do otherwise
than argue from a calm, conserva-
tive and conciliatory standpoint the
vexatious issues of the canvass. 1t
dealt temporarily and considerably
with the opinions of its opponents
and paid them all due respect as the
honest convictions of honest men.
1t challenges any man to cite line
in its editorial columns during the
late aggravating contest that reflect
ed on private character or tended
to produce bitterness of feeling. 1t
gave the best advice it could, but
always acknowledged the right OF
it's readers to accept or reject it as
they pleased. Now that the smoke
of the conflict has cleared away, it
will resume the more pleasing and
congenial work of making itself a
welcome guest and positive neces-
sity in every household.

1t is but just and right that we
should acknowledge, in behalf OF
the democracy of the county, the
Jealous and faithful services of Mr..
j. l.. Pearcy, the chairman of the
County Executive Committee. At
the expense of his private interests,
and regardless of the considera-
tions which influence purely selfish
men, be labored with unremitting
zeal and fidelity for the success OF
the party. No task. however bur
densome; no duty, however exact
ing; caused him to relax his efforts,
or shrink from the full measure of
responsibility which rested upon
him. At all hours, day and night,
he was alive TO the Importance OF
the work assigned him and he
brought to it's performance a disin-
terested patriotism and quick un-
Outstanding of all its requirements,
which deserve something more than
merely formal commentator. The
result in this county, mainly due to
his efficient services, and the cor
dial cooperation Of his vigilant col
leagues, will entitle him and them,
when the smoke of the battle is
cleared away, to the gratitude of all
LOYAL democrats.

Rev. 5. NJ. Cherry gives us the fol
lowing particulars OF the death of
Rev. Golman Green: Last Tuesday
he came to Maury county and on
the following day stopped at the
residence of his friend, Il. Il. Ogil-
vie for dinner. In the afternoon,
being considerably fatigued, he de
cided to remain all night. He APP
peared TO be in good health and
chatted cheerfully with his friends
until , O'Clock in the morning. eX-
pressing the great JOY he expert
epced at Conference. AT daylight
he was found in stupor, breathing
heavily. During the day his friends
succeeded in arousing him, and he
inquired who was attending on him.
On being told, he said: God bless
YOU. Sister Ogilvie; love you. L
reckon l am going to die. Tell my
wife Idle in the arms of Christi esus'
After this he again became uncon-
scious and remained in that conai
ton until Friday night at lot
o'clock. when he died. His funeral
was preached at the Methodist
church in Columbia by Rev. j. b.

woman suffrage, "says the chuck
ling bachelor editor of the st. Louis
Post-Dispatch, "has received black
eye in New York. A new State
law permits the ladies, God bless
them, to vote at school elections,
but returns from recent elections
show, that not one in a thousand of
the dear creatures availed them
selves Of the blessed privilege of
swinging the mighty ballot, which
is said to fall like a snowflake, and
to execute the freeman's will, and
The freewoman's also, as lightning
executes the will of God, or words
to that effect. 1t is barely possible
that a great many women in the
Empire State are still giddy, and
that they didn't have their fall suits
made up in time to participate with
proper picturesqueness in the friv-
olities of an election"

These wise and timely words
from an address by the general con
vention of the Protestant Episcopal
church ought to be conspicuously
posted in every church edlfice in
the Union: "Churches were once
built by lotteries but the moral
sense was at last offended and they
were prohibited. Now, theatricals,
dances. suppers. and whatever else
will draw money from the throng
who love excitement and amuse-
ment are presented as attractions
for securing the means with which
to carry on the church's work. We
believe these practices are destroy
ing public respect for many teachers
of our holy religion; they appeal to
motives from which men should not
act in the Redeemer's service or in
making offerings of his holy work,
while they cause the enemies of
God to hlaspheme."
