1t is with sorrow that we have to an
nounce the death of one of our most es-
teemed citizens. Mr.. VIM. w. Gossage
died suddenly on the morning of the
10Th inst, in the 6Sth year of his age.
He had been complaining for some days
previous. but on the morning in ques-
ton he had partakcn of a hearty break
fast and walked out into his garden he
soon returned in a painting condition,
was assisted to his bed and died within
80 minutes. His uniformly kind heart
and hospitable disposition endeared him
to us all, and each feels Il personal loss
in his death.
We are afraid that the continued
rainy weather will throw us backward
in our farming work.
The health of the community is very
good; but for the past 20 days the
matrimonial fever has been raging to an
alarming extent. 1t first attacked
Henry Ivcy, who ran off to Bedford
county and give it to Miss Callie Stew
art. They returned here and and were
met by friends who had them put into
a room by themselves, but it did not
stop the spread of the fever, for it next
attacked II. II. Reagin and Carlotta
Byron, and they were duly isolated
but j. A. N. Gilbert and Miss Sallie
Reagin had already contracted the fe-
yer, and they were duly attended to
Then b. G. McClain and Miss Lizzie
Ivey fell victims to the same. Last,
but not least, VIM. H. Hartford and
Miss Luna Mason were taken with it'll
on the 18th it. They were taken to
the home of William, on the Elk. 1t is
thought that some more of the Hartford
family are likewise affected, as well as
some to the near west of us. We will
watch its progress and duly inform you
if any more prove fatal May their
saccharine nocturnal luminary never
wane, is the wish of
r STYx.

The Fish Law.

|
Among the many bills which have al
ready been introduced in the present
Legislature is one to repeal the fish
law. We have mislaid the paper in
winch we saw it, but we guess it was in
troduced by some one who lives for
away from any stream in which fish dis
port Certes, they will soon dsport in
no stream if our lawmakers do not, in
stead Of repeating the present law, look
well to its rigid enforcement. Lax as
this has been, we already see how Won
derfully the fish have increased in our
streams during the past two years,
thereby afording not only pleasure to
the angler, but luxury for his table.
And who are the anglers? Here and
there man Of leisure, but generally
poor men. Yet some fool ESQ far as pis-
catorial matters are concerned writes
u communication lately, to n Nashville
paper, advocating the repeal Of the law
because Gas he says it is law to help
the rich Now, the Home Journal has
ever favored fish law, and the main
point of our argument for it was that it
would be a law to help the poor. A
Woodworking mana mechanic who has
to put in" so many hours each day,
has little time to go a-fshing. lie may
get Oft" on Saturday evenings, or other
day. He needs little recreation, a lit.
tie pleasure. If all our mechanics and
worklng'men had more pleasure we
would hear less talk about communism.
And the poor laborer is able to buy a
hook or two, line and pole. He has
some recreation, and, under the opera
ton Of stringent fish law he will be
able to catch a "mess" for himself and
family. Repeal the law and what will
be the effectf Why, sirs, a lot of fell
lows who are able to use every day in
the week as a holiday, and have the
money, will buy big seines and go when
the fish are spawning, and destroy in
one excursion of this kind enough little
fish, or spawn if allowed to grow to
make glad the hearts Of thousands of
men
Hence the Home Journal is for
stronger fish law. We invite every pour
man to remember to cast his vote
against any man who is unwilling to
leave our streams unmolested by any
artifice except ordinary angling. The
men with seines, and gigs, and all con-
trivances for wholesale destruction of
fsh in our streams, have no more right
to go and utilize such public property
to their selfish desires and revelry than
they have to go to the Courthouse in
and take possession of it for
4 dance. We want our honest repre-.
sentative, Mr.. Larkln, to vote against
any modification Of the penalties that

Names for the New OrnisArs.

President Arthur has chosen Boston,
Chicago and Atlanta as names for the
three steel cruisers which are to be built
before the year 1885, according to the
terms of the advertised contract. Wheth-
er the three cities will be honored or
disgraced by the choice depends upon
the character of the cruisers The Gov
ernment has expended more than $780,
000,00 on the navy since the centennial
year, and England. France and Russia
are the only nations which have expend-
ed more for like purpose during the
same time. If the S4,O00,0O0. in round
figures, to be expended on the three
cruisers and dispatch boat is to ac-
complish no better results, proportion
ately, than the naval expenditures of
the last seven years, it will be misfor-
tune to any city to have its name asse-
ciated with any of the new vessels. The
largest cruiser is to be 315 feet long,
the other two will be 27O, and the dis
patch boat 240. To perform the SER
vice for which they are required, the
three cruisers need to be the swiftest
vessels atioat, able to overtake or to es-
cape from any war ship of the navies OF
Europe. They are not expected to re-
sist shots from heavy guns, as their
steel decks will be but an inch and q
half in thickness. They are needed to
carry few effective guns and to fly ov-
er the water with marvellous speed. Un-
less assurance is given that in cost and
quality they will be what they ought to
be, Boston, Chicago and Atlanta may
wise y beg not to have their names APP
piled to the vesseis.-NeW York Null
