new spring goods. also a large lot of
canvas for covering plant beds. Call
and see them when in town.
Notice the special advertisement
of fine canary birds for sale at G.
A. Ligon's confectionery. These
pretty warblers are well worth the
price charged.
We would bring the attention of
the public to the new card in this

will be entirely new and fresh and
bought at the very lowest cash

goods of his old stock which he will
sell below cost. 1t will be to your
advantage to go and see him.
We call the careful attention of
the public to the new advertise |
ment of Messrs. Kincannon, Wood |

their new goods, and offer special
new attractions TO those wanting
goods in their line. They carry
large and carefully selected stock of

The Old Folks, Concert.

We spoke some time ago of the
contemplated "old folks concert, y
to be given by the ladies of the
Methodist church for the benefit OF
the new church fund. 1t now gives
US pleasure to state that the affair

ut work in the matter, and as they
know no such word as "fail," we
predict very pleasant and success
full concert. We have been request
ed to state that all those who are
to take part in this concert will
please meet at the residence of Mr..
A. Howell, Madison street, next
Monday at q o'clock p. m. Any

The COurier-JournalO of last Thurs
day morning contained a very SEN
satiOnal article headed ga Cruel
Clarksvillian," in which are mar
rated the woes of a fair young girl,
said to have been driven from her
home here by the unbearable cruel
ties of step-father. No names are
given. We have diligently enquired
into the matter and endeavored to
find whether there is any truth in the
story, but without success. We are
inclined to think that some fair
young waif is endeavoring to elude
detection by slandering GAINESVILLE,
or else it is the fabrication of some
sensational person.

Our CRIMINAL Court.

Representative r. n. Rhodes in
troduced a bill in the legislature
last Wednesday to repeal the act
creating the offices of county judge
and Criminal court judge. Two
petitions, one for and the other
against the abolition of these offices,
have been generally circulated in
our county the past two weeks.
This is matter that ought to be
calmly and dispassionately con-
sidered, and if it can be shown that
these offices are useless and more
expensive than otherwise to the
county, then we say let them go, if
not, we are in favor of maintaining
them.

WE stepped into the fire engine
house the other day, and were
shown through the building by Mr..
Jack Mcneil, the very prompt and
efficient engineer of the department.
Mr.. Mcneil is the right man in the
right place and devotes his entire
time and attention to keeping the
engine and hose in thorough order.
The engine is as bright and shining
as Il silver dollar, and is always
kept in this condition. The water
iI the boiler is always kept hot,
and plenty of fuel on hand. Mr..
Mcneil sleeps at the engine house
every night, although he is not re-
quired to do so by the city authori-
ties. The citizens of GAINESVILLE
ought to appreciate their fire de-
partment and the eudeavors Of the
officers and employees to afford
them ample protection.

ADeIightfuI Dance.

Another one of those very pleas
ant little impromptu dancing par
ties, that have gone so far towards
breaking the monotony of our social
world this long, severe winter, took
place at the elegant residence of
Mrs. Lucy Smith, on last Wednes-
pay evening. Mrs. Smith and her
accomplished and.popular daughters
had just returned from Memphis on
Monday, and few of the young
gentlemen of the city conceived the
happy idea of celebrating this well
come event by getting up a little
informal dance in their honor. They
were fortunate enough to secure the
orchestra of the "Uncle Toms Cab
In' combination, which furnished
delightful music for the occasion.
The evening was one of unalloyed
pleasure, and they departed at
nights meridian with thanks and a
silent blessing upon the charming
hostesses of Riverside"

A mIIAemnenla.

The Hunt dramatic company's
three-nights engagement here last
week was not as successful as they
deserved. The bad weather was
against them. 1t is one of the very
hest troupes we have had this sea-
son, and deserved better success.
Miss Hunt and her leading support,
Mr.. Giles Shine, are both far above
the average players. They went
from here to Paducah, and thence
to greensboro, KY. Mr.. Merce Nc
Kay, of our city, is acting as adj
vance agent for them a short while.
The Uncle Toms Cabin company
played at the opera-house last Mon
day night. This was a new play
for our theater-goers, and as they
had heard much of the famous book
from which the play was drama
tized, there was a very good audi
ence to seeit. They, however, were
heavily in debt when they arrived
in our city, and the proceeds of
their performances did not pay
them out. Their baggage and prop
erty was attached for debt. They
were given a special benefit on last
Tuesday by our citizens, Mr.. Elder
very generously allowing them the
use of his hall free of charge. 1t is
an excellent company, and they de-
serve success.
Mcintyre d Heath's Ministries
will play an engagement at Elders
Opera-hOuse on next Saturday after
noon and night. They advertise a
splendid performance and street pa
rade.

THE body of the wife of Ananias
White, colored, whose mysterious
disappearance from her home at
Nashville last week caused SO much
excitementamong the negroes there,
and led to the arrest of her husband
on the charge of numbering her and
conceaIing her body, was found on
last Sunday afternoon, buried about
% feet under ground, in the suburbs
of South Nashville. The news that
the body had been discovered spread
like wiId-fire, and caused great ex-
element among the negroes again,
who flocked to the Jail with threats
of lynching White. If man could
have been found to lead the mob,
they would undoubtedly have made
the attempt, and in all probability
contaminated it. II would have
been a fearful thing to chronicle
this overriding of the law right I'M
der the walls of our state capitol.
We are glad that the promptness
and decision of the officers in this
case prevented another outrage upon
our laws. Such crimes must be
stopped at any cost.
The verdict of the coroner's jury
was that she came to her death at
the hands of her husband.

mr.. 6. W. e0s.e.. Flna. I wasers

Erave.
On last Tuesday morning. about
O'Clock 4. N, Mr.. G. w. Gossett.
a prominent farmer and welI-to-do
merchant Of district No. Ia. this
county, fell from the G. w. Ander-
son, near Haywood landing, on the
Cumberland river, some twenty
miles above the city, and was
drowned. Mr.. Gossett was return
ing from Nashville, where he had
been to purchase goods, and as the
steamer stopped at the above named
place to get wood, it is supposed
that Gossett thought the boat had
landed at the point where he was
accustomed to get off for his home,
and being suddenly aroused, at
tempted to get off, missed his foot
ing and fell overheard. None Of
the officers of the boat saw the oc-
currence, nor did any one seem to
know exactly how it happened. A
deck hand is reported to have seen
him going towards the side of the
boat, heard the splash in the water
and raised the alarm, but he had
sunk out of sight and was seen no
more. Parties have been dragging
the river at that point and for miles
below, but, at last reports, his body
had not been found. His hat was
picked up, floating in the river,
several miles below. This is a sad
accident, and greatly to be re-
GREETED. Mr.. Gossett had many
warm friends in his neighborhood
and will be missed.

Nearly "a serious Accident.

One day last week, as Squire S.
A. Caldwell and Mr.. Sim. Shelton
were driving home to supper,
the coupling pin of their
buggy came out and they were
pitched headlong into the street.
Fortunately they were not driving
very fast, but as it was, the Squire
was considerably bruised about the
face and had one of his fingers
knocked out of joint. Mr.. Shelton
escaped unframed. We are glad to
see the Squire up and about again.

EPrsTOLARY.


| have just been thinking of tn
home of my infancy and the grave
of my parents, in NIaury county
twenty-four miles south of my pres
ent abode, and which l purpose
visiting ere long. 1t is often good
for our spirits to ''dwell among the
tombs." / was so young when my
parents died that / cannot call
either one of them distinctly to
mind. My grandfather took the
orphan children, my elder brother
and myself, to his honein Tuscum-
bia, Ala. When nearing manhood
I returned to Mausy on a visit, and
] for the first time read the inscrip-
tions on the tombstones of my
father and mother. Then most SEN
sibly did / realize nay orphanage,
and, in the sadness of that moment,
my bosom heaved with earnest de-
sire to see them again. l have
never outIiveda sense of orphanage,
and only expect to do so when l
shall embrace my parents in
Heaven.
A very interesting incident oc-
Cured at Bethlehem, on Livingston
circuit, during my passionate there.
We were holding protracted meet
ing. During the recess between the
services one day, Sue Keeton, an
accomplished young lady of about |
sixteen summers, devoted some |
moments to prayer at the grave of
her father. She returned to the
church with face radiant with de-
light, which testified to the pardon
and peace that she consciously ex-
perienced.
A shocking tragedy occurred III
our midst recently, an account of
which has already been published
in the papers. At the railroad
crossing on the pike between here
and Franklin, on the evening of the
list ult., Mansfield House and the /
horse he was riding were instantly +,
killed by a locomotive. He was
.iding across the track, and was {
nearly over, when his horse sud-
lenIy took fright and jumped back $
IN the track. In an instant the en- [
zine, going at the rate of nearly a |
nile "a minute, struck them death
blow, carried them over fifty yards,
:learing a cattle gap, and threw
hem some distance from the rail I
Dad in a field. Mr.. House was one I
# the most valuable members of 6
ny charge, and one of the most
citizens of Williamson
'ounty.
Mrs. DIR. Beaumont and Mrs.
of GAINESVILLE, are on :
yfsit to their relatives in this COM t
The former has daugh- |
err, Mrs. Matte Anderson, who is a
of this pastoral charge. !,
The mother of Col. Jno. +. House, /
nd other relatives of his, also re-
ide in the bounds of this circuit.
these ties bind Douglass circuit to
,Iarksville, and seem to bring them r
Iearer together than I at first c
bought they were. |
Peace and prosperity reign in the I
hurch here, and the "signs of the

reshings from the presence of the
ord. So mote it be. Amen. I

Babe Poston, colored, was arrest
ed to-day by Deputy-Sheriff Raines,
of this county, upon a eapias from
the Montgomery county Criminal
court and committed to Jail. POstOn
is wanted to answer the charge OF

Babe, as he is familiarity called, is
well known in our city, and hereto-
