knights Oh PythIas.

EDITOR CHRONICLE:-I noticed
in the columns of your widely cir
culated medium of January 9TH
1882, an acknowledgement of
thanks to the order of knights of
Pythias from Mrs. Lizzie G.. Elliot,
cOnsOrt of the late CAPTAIN VIM. n.
Elliot, for the prompt manner in
paying her three thousand dollars
for policies held by him in endow-
ment ranks Of the above order.
And being DESTROYS of learning
something rs to the cost of inSur-
ance in that order compared with
life insurance companies generally,
l called upon Mr.. Ii. w. Ritter,
Secretary of endowment section No.
% h. P, and learned the follow
ing: Capt. Will. a. Elliot de-
ceased, had connected himself with
section No. % upwards of three
years ago at an entire cost by as
sessment, of siXty-siX dollars, or at
a less rate than twenty-five dollars
year, for the sum of three thou
sand dollars, it being only seven
and thirty-three and one-third hun
dredths dollars per thousand dol
lars. / will not attempt to COM
ment upon the feasibility of joining
the Knights of Pythias on account
of the social features they present,
but as a business matter, based on
statistical facts. The business of
the society is progressing in the
usual order, and as it is now on
basis and plan to commend itself to
the popular judgement, 1 see no
reason why in the course of time,
but what it will absorb and obliter-
ate all life insurance companies, if
for no other reason, than on the
plea of economy. They ask an
examination of its plans especially
by those who have a knowledge of
the subject, ana those who are
qualified by education and expert
ence to judge of its merits. By
giving space to the above in your
next issue, you will oblige an
INVESTIGA TOR.

Whereas, In his infinite wisdom.

our worthy and esteemed brother,
Alexander We'll, therefore be it
Resolved, that we regard the de-
mise of brother a. Well, who died
this morning very suddenly at the
residence of his brother-in-law, Mr..
Phil. Lieber as great loss. Brother
We'll was an excellent mason, his
heart was always in his hands,

highly. He was very unostenta-
tiOus in his deeds, being of retir-
ing disposition.
Resolved that copy Of these res
olutiOns be spread on the minutes of
the Lodge, and also be rendered to
the relatives of the deceased and to

The mighty Cumberland is boom
ing do,Onardrds now, having fallen
SO rapidly in the last few days that
it is now within its banks and run
ming out at an unusual. rapid pace.
1t will be down to normal cOndi-
ton in few days, provided we
have no more rain.
We have heard ofn very serious
losses since it began to fall, in addi-
ton TO those reported at the rise.
The bottoms opposite to the city
are covered still in many places
with back waters which will remain
forsome time. The scene presented
since the waters went down is one
of dreariness and mud.
We learn that Edmondson's ferry
is running again and that the pike
leading to it through the bottom on
this side is not materially dam
aged.
The water is off the road-bed at
Red river bridge and passengers
can pass as usual.
The steamboats, are running as
usual.
It is presumed the trains will be
running South of here early next
week.

railroad Meeting lat Princeton.

Railroad Meeting lat Princeton.
Judge Chas. g. Smith returned
to- the city yesterday, having at
tended the great railroad meeting
held at Princeton, KY, on last
Wednesday in behalf of the pro-
jected Mobile, GAINESVILLE q Evans
vile Railroad. A reporter of the
CHRONICLE called on the Judge
and found him in the best of spirits
and greatly encouraged at the
bright prospects of the new road
He said there was now no longer
IA doubt of the ultimate and early
building of the road if the people
all along the line We're as earnest
and enthusiastic as those at the
meeting at Princeton. :
There was large crowd present
of the most prominent and substan-
tial citizens of all the counties of
KY. through which it is proposed
to run the road, and all were act
lively and earnestly taking part
III the enterprise. The crowd was
addressed by Judges Wood and
himself and other gentlemen pres
emf, and he never saw a more evil
dent determination expressed by
any people to undertake and carry
through an enterprise than was
openly exhibited by this meeting.
The committee heretofore appoint
ed to solicit. subscriptions OF money
and land came forward with the
most liberal donations and demon
strated by the opening of their
pockets that their whole hearts
were in the great work. The chair
men of the committees reported
that there were many doubling
Thomases who only waited to be
assured of the early commencement |
of the work to come forward with |
liberal subscriptions. To all such
we wish to say that there is no long
er the shadow of a doubt about the
of the Mobile, GAINESVILLE
& Evansville road and the sooner
they come forward will the good |
work commence.
Our citizens, and Montgomery |
county will not be slow to do their
duty in the light of these facts.
The meeting at Princeton adjourned
to meet again on Wednesday the 1st
day OF March.

| DEAR CHRONICLE: When yol
last heard from me, / was with the
bridal party of Mr.. w. L. Weems
and lady, or our way to his moth
ers.' But / now write you from
Steele's bend, in company with
Bros. John Smith, Ben Orgain, Esq
Orgain, brother Turner and James
Scruggs, the groom. We reached
Mr.. Jackson's, the brides father,
about two o'clock. We found a
crowd of young and old folks
awaiting the arrival of the groom
and the preacher; soon out walked
Mr.. James Scruggs with Miss En-
ma Jackson bv his side, and were
Joined together as husband and
wife. / must say they were a hand
some couple, yes, they were beau
tiful. We were then invited out 90
a sumptuous wedding dinner, every
thing was in good taste.
/ must say just here, that James
Scruggs is entitled to the prize he
gained for walking the trestle
which spans the Cumberland
half mile or more, while the whole
country was flooded with water,
and the rains kept the river in a
perfect rage, the water being high
er perhaps than it has been in a
thousand years; but what of the
raging Cumberland with its half
mile railroad trestle, when his mar
riage license was on the norh side,
and his Miss Emma on the south
side? He showed more energy
than most men possess, yes, more
than the steam-engine on that rail
road, for not one has dared to VEN
ture on that trestle for the last week
or ten days. Emma must be proud
of him.
The next day, January 18th a re-
ception was given the party at Mr..
John Smiths. A nice GROVE of the
young folks were there, nice dim
ner was given, and every one ap-
peared to be happy. The night of
the wedding fine supper was CIV
en- to the party at Mr.. Armstrong;,
with which all were pleased. We
took the advantage of the rain and
got two good days for the wedding,
but the rain came dashing down the
second night but we got home |
without wetting.
If any one hints at superceeding !
the present incumbent on Antioch /
at least for while, l will be like |
the colored brother in Nashville |
who was talking with two of his
brothers in black about what they
as the pest eating they
ever had.a One said tgood ole tur-
key and he well stuffed" said one
Of the others, 81 know something
better than that, good old ham,
ham beats all meat" the third said
''hush, I know something better
than that, good ole possum, him
well baked wild sweet taters." One
of the others grabbed him by the
shoulder and said, ''you shut your
mouth, you talk about anything
half dat good I'll knock you down."
So let any one talk of superceeding
over here and / will knock him up
Or down one.

AT Its meeting last Monday
night, the old Board of Mayor and
Aldermen in complimentary recOg-
milton of the very valuable and eff
ficient services which have been
rendered by the City Board of
Health and its secretary for the last
two years without any charge or
compensation whatever, very prop
erly voted to give each member of
the Board of Health and the eff
cient secretary, the sum of $50 for
the past year, being the same sal
airy that is received by an alderman.
This action was entirely unsolicited
and unexpected by the members of
the Board of Health, and while it
is no sufficient remuneration for
their time and service, still it can
but be pleasing to them to- know
that the city officers know and APP
preciate their philanthropy and
generosity in giving their services
to the city for nothing.
