From S.rainger County.
TAMp1co, Tenn, March IA, 1881.

IAMP1CO. i BSN, 1IdI Gh LIE, ICOI'
Mr.. EDITOR: It is with sadness of
heart that we relate the sudden
death of Mrs. E. Green, wife of Mr..
w. c.. Green, who lives in our town.
Mrs. Green enjoyed good health up
to the time of her death. One even
ing last week, while she was sitting
and conversing with her daughter,
in cheerful manner, she fell dead
from her seat. A few seconds be-
fore her death she complained of a
very excrusiating pain in her head.
Her death was caused by stroke
of apoplezy, as was pronounced by
DIR. W. r. Jenkins, of our town.
Mrs. Green was O faithful member
of the Baptist Church. She leaves
husband and four. children, who
have the heartfelt sympathy and
best wishes of all their acquaint-
ances. =.
Rev. G. t. Carol and Rev. Thos.
West have just closed q protracted
meeting in our town. Services were
held in the Methodist church.
During the two weeks of the meet
ing the above named gentlemen
preached the Gospel with resistless
force and power. Their preaching
was encouraging and comforting to
the people of God, while at tue same
time they faithfully and successfully
warned the sinner of the danger of
procrastination in preparing for the
great Judgment. A great interest
was manifested in the meeting by all
of the people Of the surrounding
country.
! EDUCATIONAL.
I A few days since we had the
pleasure of visiting the graded
school at Sulphur SPRING., in this
county. This school is taught by
Profs. j. T. Justice and H. K. Vim
yard, the latter of whom is q gradu-
ate of Carson College, at Messy
Greek. Profs. Justice and Vineyard
are thoroughly educated gentlemen,
and they both possess every promi-
nent characteristic Of good instruc
tors. Miss H.ttie Lammie, of your
county, has been employed to teach
music, Miss Lammie was educated
at Nashville, and she is a lady who
attains greet proficiency in the sci
ence of vocal music.
Sulphur Spring Academy is located
IN Richland Valley, six miles below
Rutledge. 1t is one of the best
localities in this section of country
for graded school. Near the acad-
envy are some as fine calybeate and
sulphur springs as there are in East
Tennessee. The society is good !;
the people in Richland Valley are
pious and intelligent people. Both
parents and pupils are taking great
interest in education. The school at
Sulphur Springs is very largely pat
ronlzed. It is really gratifying to
the friends of education to visit such
schools as the one that is being
taught at Sulphur Springs, and all
we need to elevate the standard of
education IN Tennessee is more such
worthy and efficient teachers as
Profs. Justice and Vineyard. May
the day be not far distant when the
Tennesseean, like the old Roman to
his eternal city, may point with the
most exultant pride to the educa-
tlonal establishments of his State as
ner hope, glory and defense-the
greatest and the brightest jewel in
the coronal of her achievements.

The circus promises so gorgeonsly and
piciorially made on the walls OF inland
towns are commonly broken, and the show
actually given is tame by comparison. An
Iowa lawyer proposed to punish a mana
ger for falling to give performance se-
cording 10 the advertisement, aud brought
suit To recover the 81 which he had paid
for tickets; but the Snowman returned the
money to save trouble. The largest Of these
concerns are quite as guilty as the small
ones. Complaints are made Of perform
ances little more than an hour long, and
lacking many OF the advertised features.
A trick this year is to open only one ticket
office, when the crowd is certain 10 be i'm
mense, and SO compel the people to buy Of
pretended spectators at an advance on the
regular price. Another is 10 advertise the
most startling feats to be performed in the
open air, such as unique balloon ascensions
and leaps from high bridges, and thus
draw multitudes, who, disappointed in get
ting free show, will pay for admission to
the tents.

whether she died from an excessive dose

investigation may develop, one thing social
is herein de nonsiraied. Jennie was very
beautiful, aud the people with whom she
was, As the daughter Of cigar-msker in
