OUR citizens will regret to learn
of theassignment of the old and pop
ular dry goods house of Messrs. Rice
Broaddus & Co., who were forced to
close their doors on last Friday
morning, and to make an assign
ment of their stock of goods and all
other assets for the benefit of their
creditors. The stringency of the
times and the unfavorable condition
of the weather on their trade this
winter have forced these energetic
and respected merchants to this
step. We are unable at present to
learn the extent of their liabilities.
1t is generally believed that they
will resume business as soon az their
business can be adjusted.
We understand that Mr.. B. w.
Macrae is the trustee and that after
taking account of stock, he will
have the house opened and goods
sold at cost.

Yesterday we had service at our
little brick church which stands
about fifty yards from the parson-
age, and had the whole afternoon
and night at home. The change to
light work did not come too soon, for
many of my Southside friends
know that preaching three times
each Sabbath for four years had
nearly laid me out. Then we had
such a good time to read yesterday
evening.
That inimitable paper, the Youths
Companion, had come with four
back numbers, and Marvin was
happy. The CHRONICLE also put
in its appearance i'm advance of its
usual time and was full of good
things. In my wanderings for
thirty years in different parts of the
country l have felt grieved that
many parents give so little atten-
ton to good reading for their chill
dren. Often no paper is taken. If
it is on the score of economy, it is a
mistaken policy. If we expect our
children to make good citizens we
must put good reading into their
hands. We take seven papers and
periodicals and consider that no
outlay of our funds pays us better.
While sitting in the public room
of the Ready House, in Murfrees-
boro, the other day, Col. Ready,
the proprietor, came in and rushed
up to me with an emphatic saluta-
ton. had some difficulty in con-
vincing him that l was simply
country pastor, and not his old
friend, Col. John III. Savage. Much
more than a score of times this
same mistake has been made in
days gone by, which leads me to
believe that there is some resem-
blance between your correspondent
and the bachelor politician.
My first wedding call here re-
suited disastrously. a young man
of the colOred persuasion called one
night last week and deposited his
license with me, saying he would
bring the bride Sunday night. Yes

Poor Lebanon, the taxing dis
trict among the cedars, is having a
hard time of it. She has been Wis
tied by no less than three or four
destructive fires during the year.
The last of which occurred on Fri
day night, of last week, burning a
livery stable, a foundry, the court
house, post Office and the Wilson
county News Office. The contents
of the post Office and courthouse
were saved in a damaged condition.
The News presses were burned
and the type OF the Office only
saved in a damaged condition. We
are glad to learn. however, that all
the losses were very nearly covered
by insurance. The origin of the
fire is unknown but is thought to be
the work of an incendiary.

Death of Mrs. Ed. O,Brien

1t is our sad duty to chronicle the
death of the estimable lady whose
name heads this article. She pass
ed away on last Tuesday morning
at an early hour, after a long and
painful illness, having been confin-
ed to her room and bed ever since
August last. She was a lady. of
many admirable traits of character
and greatly esteemed by all who
knew her or came within the influ-
ence of her quiet, christian life.
She was young and happy in the
devoted love of her husband and
friends, and we must indeed mar
vel at the inscrutable ways of Prov
idence in calling her away in that
buoyant time of life "ere morning
kisses noon."
After a brief service Wednesday
morning, by her pastor Rev. j. d.
Barbee, her remains were carried to
the old family burying ground at
Hadensville. KY, and committed
to their last resting place. She
leaves a husband and two tender
little ones to mourn her loss, who
have the deep coincidence of our
community in their untimely be-
