DIED.

WATSON: AT the residence OF
his father, Mr., j. Pettus Watson,
near Montgomery, Trigg county,
Sunday, August 10Th, little Joe Watt
son, aged three years. The it'll,
fellow was the joy and pride of his
fathers household, but the cruel
hand of death is no respecter Of per-
sons, Vld he was taken away from
his doting parents to swell the angel
ic hosts above. The afflicted parents
have our warmest sympathies.
LONG: AT the residence of her
husband, Mr.. Thomas w. Long, in
this city, Thursday morning, Aug.
%, 1888, Mrs. Bessie Williams Long
breathed her last, a victim TO that
fell destroyer, consumption. A hap
py home circle has been broken Ly
the taking away of one who was but
entering upon the threshold of life,
and the bereaved husband will find
it hard to realize that the inscrutable
DEGREES of divine Providence are al
ways for the best,
The deceased was a daughter of
Prof Aaron Williams, late Of Nash
vile, but now of this city. She was
married to Mr.. Long two or three
years ago and since the birth of her
little boy, last winter, her health has
been rapidly declining. Everything
that medical skill could do was done
TO save her life, but the fatal disease
continued with rcmorscless and un-
erring certainty TO bear her to the
grave. She returned from Nashville
u few days before, being considerably
relieved, as she thought. ,0nly the
day before her death she was out rid
ing with her husband, but she had
reached that stage where death was
liable to occur at any time. She re-
turned home and was very low
throughout the night and died the
following morning at 10 o'clock. Mrs.
Long was most estimable lady, a
dutiful daughter, a kind sister, a
model wife and Q christian lady. She
was a member of the Baptist church,
but owing TO the absence of DR..
Keen, her funeral was preached by
her husbands pastor, Rev. L, L, pow-
ell, AZ the Christian church, The
funeral procession was one of the
longest ever seen In the city, aud the
remains of tho departed Were laid
away Friday afternoon to rest till
resurrection morn, The family and
relatives, and the sorrow stricken
husband especially, have the sympa-
thies of the entire community,

Correspondence OF the Alexandria GAyErrEl
MADISON c. H., Va, March 2S.-I learn
from posted notices of the chairman of the
coaiitlonists that they will hold primaries
on the second Saturday of April to elect
delegates to county convention, to be held
on the third Saturday in April, for the pur-
pose of making nominations for the various
county offices. We don't know how it will
work. There are some of the coored breth
rem who are aspiring just at this time. They
are evidently tired of empty promises, and
desire more substantial proof of good fellow
ship. They have been told so often that
their time has not come yet, that they are
beginning to SEQ the sincerity of their
quondam friends. Anyway, there will be
some disaf1ecton in the camp, and as some
have intimated al Intention of running
whether nominated or not, we may expect
jolly good time. When the ball COM
mences will let you know, and also give
you the names Of the standard bearers.
