White Pine News: A petition. numer-
ously signed by our citizens, was for
warded to Washington this week. vigor-
ously protesting against any reduction OF
mail service. as contemplated by the
Postofiice Department. In justice, Cherry
Creek is. and has been for the last year,
entitled to daily mail. but to think Of
curtailing our already inadequate mail
facilities is something too odious to think
about. Our Postoffice is the central point
from which 1000 inhabitants are supplied.
not so large a community in the United
States whose mail facilities are so limited.
We hope Congressman Cassidy will pre-
sent our wants TO the department and
secure the relief prayed for.

Brave Tom webb.

The following extract is taken
from the history of Co. H." First
Tennessee Regiment, written by
S. r.. Watkins, and published in
the Columbia Herald:
A soon as the order was given to
march, we saw poor Tom Webb
lying on the battlefield, shot through
the head, his blood and brains
smearing his face and clothes, and
still he was alive. He was as brave
and noble man as our Heavenly
Father, in his infinite wisdom, ever
made. Everybody loved him. He
was a universal favorite of the COM
pany and regiment; was brave
generous and ever anxious to take
some other mans place when there
was any skirmishing or fighting to
be done. We did not wish to leave
the poor fellow in that condition,
and AS. Horsley, John I. Tucker,
Tennessee Thompson and myself
got litter and carried him on our
shoulders through that live-long
night back to Chickamauga station.
The next morning DIR. J. Il. Dixon,
of Deshler's brigade, passed by and
told us that it would be useless to
carry him any farther, that it was
utterly impossible for him ever to
recover. The yankees were then
advancing and firing upon us.
What could we do? We could not
carry him any farther and we could
not bury him, for he was still alive.
To leave him where he was we
thought best. We took hold of his
hand, bent over him and pressed
our lips to his, all four of us. We
kissed him goodbye and left him
to the tender mercies of the advan-
cling yankees in whose hands he
would be in few moments time.
No doubt they laughed and jeered
at the dying rebel. 1t matters not
what they did, poor Tom Webb's
spirit, before the sun went down,
was with God and His holy angels.
He had given his all to his eOun-
try. Oh! how we missed him. II
seemed that the very spirit and life
of Company III had died with the
death of good, noble and brave Tom
Webb.
| thank God / am no infidel, and
feel and believe that / will again
see Tom Webb. Just as sure and
certain, reader, as you are now
reading these lines, / will meet
him up yonder; know / will.

Country G,rIs.

Meta Victoria Fuller, in q sister
ly way, thus talks to country girls !:
'sThe farmers daughters are soon
to be the life as well as the pride of
the country-a glorious race of wo-
men which no other land can show.
/ seek not to flatter them, for be-
fore they can become this they will
have to make an earnest effort of
one or two things. There are
some who depreciate their condi-
ton, aud some who have false pride
in it, because they demand more
consideration than they merit. A
want Of intelligence uDon all the
subjects of the day, and of refined
education, is no more eXcusable in
a country than in a town-bred girl,
in these days of many books and
newspapers. Many girls are dis
couraged because they cannot be
sent away from home to boarding
but men of superior
knowledge of the world would ra-
ther have for wives women well
and properly educated at home.
And this education can be had
wherever the desire is not want
ing. A taste for reading does Won
ders, and an earnest thirst after
knowledge is almost certain to OBJ
tain a sweet draught from the 'Pi-
erian Spring. There is farmers
daughterin this very room in which
| am writing-a beautiful woman
in whose girlhoOd books were
not so plentiful as now, and who
obtained her fine education under
difficulties which would have dis
couraged any but one who had
true love for study"

Benefit OF short Crops.

An exchange remarks: Short
crops are often a benefit to COM
munity, and sometimes to a whole
county or State. When farmers
make a large crop they are liable to
make large debts, but when crops
are short they usually make small
accounts. Large crops tend to low
er prices, and low prices dishearten
farmers, and they lose much OF
their vim and sometimes much of
their crops. When this is the case
they are not able to pay their debts,
and disappointment and distrust
follow.
Again, when fine crops are made,
the gathering season is so long that
the farmer does not commence
preparations for the next crop in
time, and of course does not get his
next crop into the soil until late,
and usually in cruel state.
Short crops tend to curtail expen-
seq, and the farmer has ample time
to gather his crop and gather all of
it. He has, no doubt, acted. pru-
IDENTIFY and made small accounts,
and the result is that he is able to
pay every dollar he owes. His
debts being all paid, he feels pleas
ant over the result, and with renew
ed energy he sets about his labor
for a new crop in ample time. He
starts his pillow early, plows deep,
and the result is good start and a
good crop the following year. Short
crops are sometimes blessings in
disguise. There is no danger OF an
industrious farmer ever coming to
want, unless he does SO from bad
management.

A Duel at Night.
Denver News.

One of those tragic events that
mark the narrow strip between civ
ilizatiOn and barbarism occErred at
Chama, New Mexico, last night.
The parties to the affair were Char
(Tex), two southern boys, who paid
the forfeit imposed by duty and
pride. Tex held the position Of
Town Marshal. Keiser was carry
ing a pistol, contrary to the notices
posted around, and Tex made an ef-
fort to disarm him. After trying In
vain for several minutes 10 do this,
he proposed q duel at ten steps.
Keiser accepted the challenge. IL
was nearly eleven o'clock p. M, but
the night was clear. Telling Keiser
to be ready, Tex stepped of ten
PAGES. and, turning, the firing COM
shot Tex almost through the heart.
As Tex stumbled to his knees aud
fell he fred four times, one ball
passed through Keiser's body Just
above tine navel. When we got to
them Tex was about dead. Keiser
lived half an hour. William Whit
son was a native of Texas-a state
that has furnished more "border he
roes" than any other. Charles
Keiser was from Odessa, Missouri.
Both we're young (neither Of them
more than twenty-five), both warm-
hearted and true as steel. Duty
caused Tex to loose his life, while
Kelser lost his through an unyield-
ing pride. Both had many friends,
and were really good friends them-
selves
