A VERY Sad Death.

Miss MILDRED BATE, daughter OF
DIR. VIM. Bate, died at the family
residence last Friday morning at s
o'clock, of consumption, aged II
years, 5 months and days. 1t was
another of those sad events rendered
peculiarly affecting by the age,
promise and surroundings of the
young victim. Consumption is a
relentless destroyer, but it rarely
dares to grapple with youth. When
it does, its inroads are rapid and
sure. Miss Mildred was one of the
gentlest of Gods fair creatures,
amiable and loveable, and a life lay
out before her apparently of happi-
ness and usefulness, but it was cut
short just as society was about to
catch the benefit of its store of low
ing accomplishments. How tender
ly she chung to life, and yet how
willingly she would answer the call
to brighter existence above, por-
trayed not only the height OF human
affection but a sublimity of charac-
ter possible only in a christian life.
Such a premature death awakens
solemn thought in the most flippant
heart, but it makes one bleed that
is used to loving. Our sincerest
sympathy goes with those whose
hearts are lacerated by this I'M
secmly visitation. a balm for their
woe exists in the knowledge that
she has already entered upon a
career of unspeakable happiness
eternity cannot terminate. The
burial services were conducted by
Rev. Thos. +. Gailor at the church
of the Messiah, Saturday afternoon
ut 2:30 o'clock, and the remains
were followed to the new cemetery
by many sympathizing friends.

(For the CITIZEN,

:
EDITOR CIFIzEN:-I notice that
you accept contributions from cor
respondents in various portions Of
, your county for the columns of your
valuable paper, thereby greatly in
creasing its interest to those among
your readers who live at a distance.
hail the weekly visit of the CIrI-
ZEN with delight, and read it
eagerly, finding it full of news from
absent friends, for which its able
and newsy contributors are duly
thanked. May trust that few
lines from this far off land will find
a like welcome in your columns?
write not so much in the interest of
the news department, as for the en-
couragement of whole communities
between Pulaski and Pisgah, who
! are down with Texas fever. They
may be dismayed at your picture Of
the gaunt, spectral caravans of half
starved people, who annually come
creeping back through the swamps
and boys, hunting for a high, dry
place in dear old Tennessee. Now,
l must say that is a dismal picture;
enough to Brighten the bravest, and
when to all this is added that,
among other bad things, Texas is a
"land Of promise and pistols" l
know not what the result may be
upon those stricken communities.
Lest they may be troubled by this
description, written by one who re
ceives his knowledge from hearsay
altogether, let me say for their com
fort, that here in this great, broad
land, this Gland Of promise and pis.
tolls there is bread and work for
all; there is also security for life,
liberty and pursuit of happiness.
The hills are not so high as those
around old Pisgah, l know, but L
don't think they'll mind that; the
prairies look fresh and green and the
barns, / suspect, are as full of grain
as those in high and dry old Tennes-
see. Though this is called a hard
year. our pantries are not entirely
depleted and our dairies supply us
with the best of fresh, golden butter
and plenty of milk; the people who
daily tread our streets, going TO and
from their honest toll, have not a
clean and hungry look" and really
those 'gaunt and spectral caravans"
that the good editor of the CITIZEN
annually meets with, have not dis
turbed us with their CHASTITY pres
ence. We are also law abiding peo-
pie; it is true that here, as elsewhere,
the pistol does at times do deadly
work, and l notice it does the same
kind of work in good old Tennessee,
in the very county of Giles. This
may not be a Gland of milk and :
honey" but to style it Gland of
promise and pistols" is hardly Just
and far from kind; it seems strange
indeed to receive such a thrust
from a sister state, and that state
Tennessee, and from the chiYalrous
county Of Giles, whose hills and
wales are dear to so many of the
adopted children of this fair land.
The good name of this good state
has often borne unmerited reproach
from foes, sometimes from friends.
and yet it bears itself to day the
peer of any, an Islanders shaft falls
harmless through the air; her sons
are proud of their native land; free
dom is their birthright, and brother
hood and charity the bond that
unites them to each other and TO
every honest, loyal man who makes
his home on Texas soil.

Bless you dear souls, Texans, we
do not mean you any harm. The
CITIZEN iterates and reiterates its
opinion that Tennessee is a better
state, all things considered, than
Texas, and it expects to stand up
for home people, first, last and
always. Texas surpasses Tennes
see in some things, maybe, but it is
susceptible of demonstration that
Tennessee has a larger diversity of
attractions and advantages. We
make no war on Texas, for it is a
splendid state, and we have numer-
Gus warm friends there, and we
again insist that they will applaud
US for spending our space and time
in the interest of Giles county. To
show our lack of animosity, we ad
nit a letter from Texas to-day
contrary to our rule, that that side
may be heard. We would not do
them any harm if we could.

We are glad to say that our aged
friends, Mr.. Davy Bodenhamer and
wife, whom we stated as being I'M
well last week, are much better. We
hope they will soon be restored to
health. Miss Mollie May, who has
been confined for the past two
weeks with typhoid fever, is slowly
recovering. Willie Bodenhamer,
whom we stated sick with diphtheria
is well again. Esq. T. A. Puryear
is very i'll with fuX, but is some
better at this writing. Mrs. Joel
Carter, who has been confined to
her room for some time, is well
again. She and her beautiful little
daughter, Viola, spent a few days
last week with her father, \. G.. Var
brough Richard Cosby and wife
left Sunday for Mt. Rozzell. r. r
Riddle left Saturday for Alabama.
Rev. j. w. Paisley and family de
parted last week for their new
home near Campbellsville. We
learn that Esq. L. A. Puryear has
rented the Paisley farm, and will
move there as soon as possible.
Jim Curtis and wife left here last
week for Texas. Several weeks age
somebody went into the Rural Hill
church and cut into the safe, but
did not take any thing except lit
tie wine. Don't know what theii
motive was. Our public school al
this place closed Friday. The
singing school at Lone Oak closed
Saturday. This school was enjoyed
by all who attended. Such enjoy
msnts rarely falls to the lot of 30
denhamians. We feel under obliga
tons to Profs. Briggs and Wisdom
and hope they will come back mex
summer and teach another singing
school for us. j. & L.

Wheat speculation has been rag
ing in the whole country this week
and prices have dropped terribly to
some. We believe that most of the
operators in Pulaski have been bulls.
Chicago governs the prices at will
and for week the bears have been
singing down the scale until Janua-
ries got as low as 1.254 Tuesday OF
course this was unfortunate for the
buyers who got in all way from 80
down. 1t was thought the bottom
in prices was reached and that the
tendency would be upward. Wheth

pockets was reached and the ten
dency of small buyers was upward
