DEATH OF REV. W. A. GRAY.

AS our paper was delayed in its
appearance this week, we are ena-
bled to announce to our readers
the sad intelligence of the death Of
the Rev. W. A. GRAY, the veneer
able and beloved pastor of the Pres
byterian Church at this place,
which occurred at his residence,
one mile south Of Ripley, Sunday
morning October %, 1881, after a
brief illness. In the death of Mr..
Gray our community loses one OF
its oldest and best citizens, the
Church a faithful, devoted and con.
sistent minister, and his wife and
only little daughter, a kind hus
band and father. MIR. Gray was a
native of South Carolina; he remov-
ed to Starksville, Miss, before com
ing here, where he resided two
years; he then removed to this
county, where be has lived upwards
of forty years, and during all that
time, up to the hour of his death,
was the pastor of the Presbyterian
Church at this place. Mr.. Gray,
when he died, was about "a years
of age. BY a golly walk ard con
yersation, he won the confidence
and esteem OF all as a Christian and
gentleman. The funeral ceremo-
MES took place at the Presbyterian
Church Monday evening, October
9th, 1881; they were conducted
by. Rev. ID. L. Cngdell, and were
the most solemn and impressive we
ever witnessed. After which his
remains were conveyed to the Rip
ley cemetery and deposited in their
final resting place. Thus has pass
ed away one of the best and purest
men we ever knew, who though
dead, yet sqeaketh.

Mr.. ChaS. B. Wayman, Erie Pa,
writes: "My physicians had given
me up to die. They told me my
lungs and liver were all decayed
and gone. | was very weak, pale
and emaciated. BY chance l saw
Browns Iron Bitters advertised. |
Immediately realized that without
iron in the blood life could not ex-
list. With trembling anxiety | sent
a servant who procured for me a
bottle. Unjust have taken it with
great faith, for almost Immediately
| felt Its beneficial effect. Soon all
dyspeptlc symptoms disappeared,
my lungs grew strong, pains in the
region of the heart vanished, my
urine became free of sediment, and
in a word | have regained perfect
health. Now | feel able to thrash
the doctor that attended me, and
really believe | ought to do it.

Tae Big Show.

On Thursday, Nov, Bird, W. C..
jCoup's Great Paris HlpPodrome,
combined with his new united
monster shows, said to lie mDre
sthan three times larger than ever,
will exhibit in Corinth, giving two
performances, afternoon and night.
The enormous tents, covering
full eight acres, are the largest
ever known, actually overspread-
ling three circus rings, and a hippo.
drome race track forty feet wide
and nearly halfa mile around. In
addition to the four circus and hip,
podrome companies, there is a
grand museum and menagerie filled
with animals from all parts of the
world. To operate the different
Features of the museum, a dozen or
more steam engines are used.
In the great street pageant, the
finest ever witnessed in the South,
nine different kinds Of music are
used, including three first-class
brass bands and four musical or
pheodes, each driven by a power
tul steam engine, issuing melodies
equal to a concerto of twelve hun
dred musicians. Nothing to equal
this was ever before known in show
business in any part of the world.
Every other department ofthe show
lis said to be on a pro-
portionate scale. In the way of
sensations, the wonderful flight Of
LU LII, who is hurled from a power
full catapult, hign in the air, and
describing in transit across the
great hippodrome pavilion the
segments of an air circle five hun
.dred feet in diameter, and turning
two complete evolutions before
alighting, is the most hazardous
and astounding ever witnessed;
and is said to be well worth going
five hundred miles to see, Then
comes the Zulus, the Indians in
their exciting chase for a wife, The
hippodrome races, jocky races,
hurdle and Steeple chases, fiat and
standing races, the elephant and
camel races, the Zulus racing with
thoroughbred hor Ses, and scores of
other novelties which can be seen
and enjoyed only in Coup's Great
Show.
Cheap excursion trains will run
on all railroads on the day OF exhi,
bition for the accommodation of the
multitude.

two Palace Advertising Cars, and requiring three immense trains of
cars 10 transport the show, at a daily expense of nearly 81 800:
Besides the great herd of Elephants, there are nearly 1000

Death of Mrs. Jane OFT.

Mrs. Jane OFT died at her residence, in VIII
mington. bel. on the 4th instant, after an illness
of few days caused by L fall the ice q few
weeks previous. She was in the 64th year of her
age.
This lady came TO this vicinity from Pennsylva-
mia with her husband. the late Elder Stephen OFT.
about thirtyfour years ago. In all his efforts for
the religious and intellectual improvement Of the
neigh borhood in which they resided and in his
labors Tor the advancement OF his Masters king
dom elsewhere. she always seconded his efforts
with all her might. Her abors knew scarcely any
Observation-Disclosures the tide OF religious interest
ran high or low. The sick were sure to lud her at
their bedside as soon as she knew of their mis!or-
tune. and the needy shared her bencacence to an
extent known to but lew. ii any, OF her most int
mate trends.
Having embraced christianity at time when it
was thought to be necessary in order to salvation
to obey the teaching OF the Word OF God, she con
tinucd to follow the old Methodist rules in regard
10 dress and adornment.
Religion with her was litc-work. Wherever
We met her-at home, at the church. or ON the
highway-she was the same. Many sad. weary.
hal! desparing heart has been cheered by her
open honest cheerful ince. and assuring voice.
She did not seek to make her connecto on with IA
popular organization the strppnS-stune to social
distinction, business prosperity, or personal az
gElndizement. But as We knew her i'll the long
years ago, so she was TO the last-an uuobtrusive,
patient. humble follower OF the Christ OF the
New Testament. She was one OF class OF women
now unfortunately nea rly extinct.
For several years alter the death Of her husband
Mrs OFT remained on the tar,n and by her efforts
kept the little Society. o! which, believe she
was Deaconess together. But u year ago, cir
cumstances compelled her 10 removed to Viii
mington, Del.
Her funeral took place on Tuesday last, from
the residence oi her sorin-law. Mr.. Charles Wal
Ion. The services were held at the Christian
Chapel. near the loot OF Chestnut HILL and were
