An IJntimelv Death,

Mrs. Matte A. Burch, the anna
BILE and highly esteemed wife of Mr..
Dave Burch, expired at her resi-
dence in this place Friday evening
last, aged twenty six years.
Her comparatively brief illness,
though serious in it's character,
gave no premonition of her speedy
demise and when the sad event
took place the entire community
was shocked. Hers was a bright
and attractive life, full of the warm
colors impaired by a sunshiny
nature and generous heart. The
virtues of her sex graced her char
acter, and piety surmounted 1t like
crown. 1t is not too much to
say, that she was adored at home
and tenderly beloved in the social
circle. Her sunny temperament,
her winning courtesy, her gracious
manner, and, above all, her kind
and compassionate heart, rendered
her a general favorite. Her untime
lv death, at the brightest period Of
matronage, fills with poignant grlei
a loving husbands heart, deprives
sweet babe of a mothers fond and
protecting care, and removes from
the walks of society one who car
peted them with flowers. Deatt
found her tranquil and resigned
and ere the psllid finger of the
destroyer set its seal upon the brow
her sweet spirit was flooded with
the supreme grace of the Redeem
er's smile. At Mount Moriah
Saturday, loving and compassionate
hands performed the last sad Office
of friendship, and though the fac,
of nature was glad in the warn
sunshine, all felt that the sod wa
an inhospitable abode for remainl
so precious-that
t'They made her q grave too dark and cold
For heart so warm and true"

Gen. Lee, the sable old repI obate,
who teigns insanity as an excuse
for his concentrated meanness, is
earning his daily rations on a rock
pile at present. He broke out in a
fresh place Monday and became so
obstreperous that The persons hav
ing present charge of his education
tied him up by the thumbs. This
brought reason to her throne in less
time than it would take to hurl a
boot-Jack at a sociable Thomas cat.
and the General simmered down
with neatness ard dispatch. An
effort was made by several colored
people to secure his release on the
condition that he would agree to
leave Pulaski, but he sternly re-
fused to deprive our citizens of his
charming society. 1t is pity that
something cannot be done to abate
permanently this alb, minable old
nuisance

Prospect.

We have but little news to COM
munIcate this week. With one or
two exceptions everything has been
unusually dull for some time. Sup
pose mostly on account of such
beautiful farming weather.
Mr.. Swift, we are sorry to say,
was taken suddenly ill on the 4th
inst. by two strokes OF apoplexy,
from which he has been in rather
dangerous condition until the last
few days. He is paralyzed In his
right side, and although he may
possibly recover to some extent, it
is thought he will never be able to
get about again. He is one of the
oldest men in this end of the coun
ty, and has many warm friends who
lament his sad affection. We hope
he may recover beyond all expecta-
ton.

upon winning such estimable prizes,

in securing two of our fairest
daughters, we feel assured that the
fair ones themselves have entrusted
their destinies to two gentlemen

The Commencement at Martin
College will be inaugarated Sunday
Morning next by sermon at the
Methodist church by Rev. DR.. Left
wlch. The examination exercises
will commence Monday and con-
tinue four days. Monday night
will be devoted to the Juveniles, on
which occasion the exercises will
be as interesting as the little folks
can make them, and we are sure
they will do their best. Tuesday
night will be devoted principally to
a musical entertainment, embrac-
ing vocal and instrumental gems,
cperettas. etc. The marked pro-
fciency of the music pupils will
doubtless be displayed in man
ner highly agreeable to the audi
ence. Wednesday night will be given
up to the Literary Society, though
some of the graduates will incorpo-
rate their essays in the attrac-
tive programme. Thursday night
the remaining essays will be read
The graduating class is as follows
Misses V. A. Cole and Laura Has
sell, OF Waynesboro; Misses Hattie
V. Grimes, and Matte F. King, OF
Mount Pleasant; Misses Alice Par
ker, Bette May, Lille McGrew and
Annette Godefroy, of Giles county.
The patrons Of the college, as well
as our citizens generally, will hard
ly fail to attend the examination
exercises, for under Prof. Jones
supervision they are sure to be en-
tertaining as well as instructive
We believe 1t to be the sense OF the
community that this noble institu'
ton of learning j. now in capable
/ hands-in fact, at it could not bt
under better management. Prof
Jones is admirably qualified, bott
by nature and education, for thu
responsible position he is filling
and the best evidence of his capac
ity is to be found in the work h'
has performed. To ripe scholar
ship and sound judgment he adds
the personal refinement and culture
essential TO the delicate task of fe
NAL education, and these qualities
so happily blended, are GROWING
his work with success.

We learn from several farmers
residing in various parts of the
county, that the wheat crop, which
was thought to be so seriously in
jured, has improved greatly since
the recent refreshing rains. In
some places the rust is fast disap
pearing. while in others it is con
fined to the blade with but little prob.
ability of the stalk being injured,
Mr.. NJ. c. Kirkpatrick, we are in
formed, says he is confident OF
making u bushels to the acre, but
other farmers are by no means as
sanguine. Many think from pres
ent indications that the yield will
exceed recent calculations, OF
course; but they believe the crop is
bound to be a short one. Even
this is decidedly encouraging, for
two weeks ago it was thought the
crop would be an utter failure

quite promising.
