4 little how starved 70 death q

A little boy starved to death at
Pittsburg in consequence of a throat
disease that prevented his swallow
ing anything. He lived four weeks
without eating or drinking. His
pleadings for food were pitiful, and
he frequently dreamed of enjoying
sumptuOUs repasts, only to awake
to dreadful hunger and thirst. Just
before he died he asked his mother
if they would have a good dinner
for him in heaven.

THE last Nashville Advocate has
this to say of the Elm street Church
and its pastor:
The Rev. r. X. Brown, who sue
ceeded that excellent preacher and
pastor, DIR. Leftwich, at Elm street,
was warmly received, and has
grown upon his people from the
start The congregations are large,
the social meetings lively and well
attended, and the Sunday school
one of the very best. The general
impression is that Elm street and
its pastor are a fit-an excellent pas
tor and a growing Church. Scarce
ly a service passes without access

THE citizen who says this country
is ruined, that American institu-
tiOns have utterly failed, and that
he would like to live under a mon
archy or despOtism, ought to have
his wishes gratified. Let him go to
Russia or Austria and try it. These
winners are not in earnest, but they
help to weaken patriotism and in
crease the perils that beset our coun-

CLOTHING DRUMmERs.
Those Who Take Orders to be FILLED
i'm other states Must Pay
Privilege Tax.
Nashville American,

A very important decision was
rendered in the Supreme Court yes
terday ON a question which has
troubled our merchants for some
time past. The court adopted the
opinion of Judge Cantrell in the
caseo of b. F'ritch VS.. r. l.. Singleton,
Clerk of the County Court of Bed
ford county, thus affirming the
judgment. Fitch, who lives in In
diana, by his agent, J. III. Clarkson,
took orders for clothing to be shipped
by express, C. o. D., to those pur-
chasing them. Singleton, insisting
that Fritch was liable to the pay
ment of a privilege tax, levied upon
the goods in the express Office for
non-payment of license. Judge
Cantrell decided that the Clerk was
right and that persons doing that
kind of business are required to
take out a privilege license. And
SO says the Supreme Court.
