We are informed that a church
member here, the other day,was CALI
ed on for fifty cents, for the support
of the ministry, but was too poor to
give it. Later, he came across a
cheap fiddle, bought it for s1.25, and,
having music in his soul, he walked
out with it under his arm. Now, if
he will give s1.25 to his preacher, we
won't say anything about it, especial>
ly as he is good fellow. Yerbum sat

The ladies of the G.. P. Church will

Cattle Murrain Epidemic.

A serious and fatal epidemic has
broken out among the cattle west of
town and in the western and sou thern
parts of the city. 1t is said to be
murrain, and when a COW contracts
the disease she seems to lose all ener,
gy, droops and lies lazily around,
and finally dies in one or two
days. Some Of our citizens are using
copperas and sulphur as a remedy
and preventative, but we have not
learned with what success. Many
cows have died in and near town,
some of them being very valuable
blooded stock. The first deaths we
have heard of occurred a few miles
west of here. Capt. Hale lost FIVE
head one of them being full blooded
shorthorn COW. G. w. Sims lost
three, one Jersey, one shorthorn and
one common. Messrs r. Z. Edwards,
W. j. House, WIN. Holcomb, M.
L. Baird, w. I. Blankinship, NJ. w.
Wheeler, T. j. Harrison, H. P. Mil
Ter, j. H. Blankinship, G. G. Mitch,
ell, P. B. Martin, and Bill Oliver,
col, have also each lost one.
r. II. Clark, Esq, says he has
cured several cases oy rubbing the
spine thoroughly from head to tail
with turpentine and coal oil. he ap-
plies it two or three times day, and
keeps the COW under a shelter, in q
dry place.

A Matter OfInterest.

A medicine must of necessity stand
upon its merits. If it does not possess
healing qualities Of value to suffering
humanity, no amount Of advertising
will prevent its being branded fraud
by the public. Among the proprie>
tary medicines advertised in papel.
there are none that hold a higher
rank than those of The DR.. Harter
Medicine Company, ST. Louis. Dir
Harter's Iron Tonic is winning special
favor, each bottle used proving its
wonderful benefcent effects, and an
advertisement which sells many addi
tional bottles. The testimonials which
the DIR. Harter company are able 10
produce in proof of the merit of their
medicine will convert the most suss
picious to its use,
Read their advertisement, and il
suffering from any of the diseases
mentioned, write to them, or ask your
druggists for their medcine.

RAILWAY RACKET.

A large number of school girls
passed here Thursday, bound for
schools in Middle Tennessee.
A special train passed down the L.
IL N road last Wednesday with First
Vice Presidant NJ. H. Smith, Gener>
al Manager DeFuniak and other
officers.
Is it not possibleto stop railroad men
from the use of profane and vulgar
language in the yard here ? 1t is dis
graceful. 1t seems to us that conduc-
tors and others might control their
men thus far.
The earnings of the Louisville q
Nashville railroad are reported to
have been larger for the third week
in August than for either of the two
previous weeks, on account of the
more favorable weather for moving
the crops.
Three freight boxes, next to the
engine, jumped the track from north
bound train at Waterford last Sun
day, and were tumbled into the ditch
They were soon replaced by the
wrecker, the track cleared, and trains
permitted to run as usual. Superin-
tendent Clark, was on hand a little
after the accident happened and di-
rected affairs with his usual energy
No one hurt.
a large number of excursionists
passed here last Monday, bound for
Arkansas and Texas. Several Joined
them at this place, among whom
were Alderman Taylor, Jno Pratt,

Burlington, j. w. Younger and Miss
Rebeccah Long, of Milan and vicinity,
Mrs. James Phipps and John vii,
liams, of Bradford, and VIM. Blanks
and wife, of Trezevant.
We learn than the L. & n. Com
pany charges about thirteen cents per
bushel for coal delivered here in car
load lots, while they haul it nearly
one hundred miles further, to Mem
phis, for ten cents per bushcl. Ou
people here have been waiting all the
summer to order their coal at ten
cents from this company, but now
they find that they will have to pay
thirty per cent. more, and they are
not at all pleased. We have always
believed that railroad companies were
abused for many things of which they
are innocent, but this thing of discrim'
mating in rates is not one of them.

The eccentric doings of Father" L.
natius, an ultra Ritualist of the English
Church. have made him notorious for
many years. The London Truth thus
describes one of his latest official acts.
IAN extraordinary scene was witnessed
at Llanthony Abbey recently, when
FatheTIgnatius admitted novice to the
mysteries of the Black Veil. Opposite
the principal shrine was black funeral
bier, covered with velvet pail, with
white cross and with huge candle-stick
at each corner. The novice knelt by its
side, After mass and u sermon, the
Father Abbot sat down in his chair by
the altar, arrayed in a gorgeous robe,
embroidered with angels and saints,
with richly-jewelled mitre on his shaw
en- head, and a crosier in his hand. 49,
The nuns in their grated gallery sang a
chant, while the father cut off the hair
of the novice; two acolytes holding a
towel to receive it. Then she was chad
in her nuns robes, with crimson veil
and wreath of flowers, and. after a
variety of intricate ceremonies, she was
placed on throne-like chair before the
altar, and the whole of the monks, nuns,
sisters and acolytes themselves before
her, and as they kissed the hem of her
garment she placed her hands on their
heads. After the procession she was
laid on the bier and covered With pail,
and the abbot and acolytes came for
ward in a magpie-like costume of black
and white, the father with a high,
caul cap-like linen mitre on his head.
Then the funeral service was chanted,
a mufl1ed bell sounded, and the monks
bore away bier and nun behind the graf

They saythat Brigham Young's grave

grief was fresh, his widow used to

We should learn from this that the
man who ilatters himself that in marry
ing a whole precinct during life he is
piIing up for the future large invoice
of ungovernable woe is liable to get
left. The prophets tomb looks to-day
like a deserted buffalo wallow, while
his widow has dried her tears and is
trying to make mash on the Utah
Commission. Such is life in the Far
West, and such the fitting resting-place
of a red-headed old galvanized prophet
who marres squint-eycd lly-up-the-
creek, and afterward gets special rev.
citation requiring him to marry a female
mass meeting. Let us be thankful for
what we have, instead of yearning for a
great wealth Of wife. Then the life in.
surance will not be scattered so, and
our friends will be spared the humiliat.
