Deaths Doings.

Mas. SARAH G. HnLEs, of GAINESVILLE,
mother of Sheriff Hilles, died very suddenly on
Friday evening at the residence of her daughter,
Mrs. Walter Darrah, whom she was visiting, in
Beilare, from heart disease. For some time
previous, she had been subject at intervals to
smothering spells, but apprehended no imme-
diate danger. On the evening of her death,
about half-past five o'clock, in company with
Mr.. Walter Darrah and her daughter, she went
down into the city to do some shopping, and on
her return complained of the heat somewhat,
but managed to reach home, feeling as well as
could be, considering the intense hot weather.
Shortly afterwards she complained of the
smothering sensation and of great pain in her
Woodbridge was called at once, but was unable
to relieve her, and at $50 o'clock death re-
lieved her.
Deceased was born in Cecil county. Nd, in
1908, and removed to Oolumbiana county, this
state in 1899, and afterwards with her husband,
the late Nathan Hilles, removed to Louisville,
where they resided for 81 years and up to 1871
when they went to Barnesville. She was a
member of the society of Friends, and was con-
nected with the. Plainfeld meeting. Her funeral
took place at Barnesville on Sunday. Inter
ment at the Southern cemetery.
Deceased was highly esteemed by all who
knew her. She was tender, faithful and af-
fectionate mother, ever mindful of the interests
of her family, whose grief can only be measured
by the overshadowing bereavement which has
fallen upon them.
We are panied to chronicle the sudden death
of Mrs. Maggie Lodge, wife Of William Lodge,
of Wheeling township, which occurred on Fri
day, from heart disease, at the age of 30 years
About three weeks before, she had fallen down
stairs, sustaining some injury to one of her
limbs, but was upon the day of her death con-
valescent and about her usual household duties
About noon on the day named, she was taken
suddenly sick, and within probably one .hall
hour was cold in the embrace Of DEATH

a most happy and congenial one, and seldom
was there found household where more sun

Editorial Correspondence.
SHELBYvrLLE, June l, 81.


Col. Lawson Hill stated in his speech
last Saturday in McMinnville that that
mountain city once came near being Sc
lected as the permanent capitol of Ten
nessee, and was only prevented by the
three powerful agents indicated by the
three VS., which may be read sUoman,
wine and wit. This shows the posi-
bilities of McMinnyille past, present
and future but whether it "might
have been" is now, or may be, there is
no ViG AppiG, or Appian way leading
from that pleasant town either to
Capua, Brundusium, or any other
place, and hence he who leaves there
on a pleasure trip by private convey
ance must have a will as well as a way.
Ignoring the way as much as possible,
we spent our first night at Needmore,
nor did We need any thing more than
the generous hospitality of our host to
make that pleasant sojourn.
Next morning we passed the Robin
son farm, near Beech Grove, just as
Gen. Chatham was moving out his
forces to the field to drill, This is a
thing the General has been noted for
since the days of the Mexican war,
and generally with instruments that it
was equally dangerous to stand before
or behind when engaged hnt o.,-.L;-
occasion there was no danger in either
position, as he was going to use an in
strument to drill grain with.
Soon after passing Fairfield, in Bed
ford county, our attention was arrested
by mighty sound in the "tops Of
mulberry trees" and all other kinds Of
trees. We stopped to catch the notes
and soon heard distinctly grand con.
cert of the thirteen year locusts, which
was echoed from every tree in the for.
est. Not having seen these native
choristers since 1868 we were desirou:
of renewing our acquaintance with
them. At this moment a wayfarine
man alighted from his horse caught
one and introduced him to us. We
recognized him as an individual of til,
same form, dress, and appearance al
those we had seen at the above date
in strict uniform with all his specie

acquaintance with these long absen

Texas Letter.

WAxAHAoH1E, Texas, May IS.
Editor Standard:-Having been re-
quested to write by so many friends by
your permission l will try to give them
a short outline Of our trip to Texas.
We left McMinnville on the morning
of May the 10th, 1881 at $3.50 a. m.
with jolly crowd for Texas and land
ed at Nashville about 8 p. m, land with
out change of cars had our baggage
checked by our kind and gentlemanly
friends Messrs. Beech and Neville, after
which we left there for Memphis. At
Mckenzie we changed cars at about IL
at night, and arrived at Memphis at
6 a. m. where we had to wait over I'M
til $40 p. M, which was very tiresome
to us and our little ones. To help pass
off the time more pleasantly / took a
walk over the city with our two oldest
children to take look at the city and
the Mississippi river, which pleased
them very much. At $40 we were
all ready and very anxious to bid adieu
to the city, thinking the greatest curl
osity we had witnessed was the crossing
the Mississippi river in the cars on the
ferry-boat SO snugly and quietly. We
had quite pleasant trip to Little Rock
a distance of 154 miles, where we ar.
rived at / a. m. Here we changed
cars for Texarcana, where we arrived
} at 8 a. m. Thursday morning, May l;

our White county friends and changed
cars for Sherman, a distance of Isl
miles, and in short time we wer

town, where we arrived at 6 p. m
and had to wait over until Z next morn

We call special attention to the card
of the Farmers and Mechanics Mutual
Benefit Association, of Nashville, Ten.
nessee. This is a mutual life insurance
association on the plan of the Knights
of Honor without dues or lodge meet
ings. A person at the age Of 40 years
pays So and 81 assessment for every
member that dies, and in case of his
own death his wife will receive So, 900,
whenever the assessments according to
above rate amount to that sum. For
instance, if there are only 1000 MEM
bers, the assessments would be 81, 900,
which is the amount of the policy
paid. There is no fund kept on hand
to be squandered. 1t seems to us TO
be the best insurance yet devised.
Our townsman g. B. Davis is the
local agent, and is prepared to give all
the details of the plan. The officers
of the company are well known to the
State as business men, and the follow
