In the cultivation of flowers in Win
ter in our sitting-rooms the same laws
must be obtained as in the culture of
flowers in the open ground. There
must not be too much heat nor too little
sunshine. The soil must be rich and
sufficiently mellow. Moisture must be
controlled. and insects must be kept
from doing harm. As blooming plants
cannot thrive even in Summer in dense
shade. so in Winter they will look weak
and puny if kept constantly in north

will do, but southern exposure will
give best results. During the short days

reference to very estimable young
lady who formerly resided in this
county and is well known here;
The premium for the finest display
of paintings at our fair last week
was awarded to Miss May Weather
ford, of this place, and, without in
tending any disparagement to the
display of other competitors, whose
exhibitions were very creditable
and attracted much attention, we
must say that she richly deserved
the premium awarded by the judg-
es selected to pass upon the merits
of her work. In her collection were
oil paintings, water colOrs and cray
ons that would do credit to any gall
lery in which they might be hung.

THE friends of Cox, Randall and
Carlisle have been fixing up figures
for their respective candidates and the
result is that they have all clearly
proven that each of these gentlemen
is to be elected speaker OF the next
House. All three are good men
personally and their personal quallti-
cations is about all that is to be con-
sidered. The difference in their tariff
views is considerably dilated upon by
some of their enthusiastic supporters,
but the tariff views of the next Speak
err is not going to affect the tariff posi-
ton of the Democratic party. The
party is committed to revenue reform
and especially to tariff revision. 1t
insists that the raising of revenue shall
be limited to the necessities OF the
government, economically administer

no extra burden on the taxpayer and
no sensible man, be he Democrat or
Republican, can object to the tariffs be-
ing so adjusted as to protect American
industries.

Death of Waiter Hnynes.

Died Oct. 5th 1888 at the home ofhis BROTH
er, in Dickson county, Walter Haynes the
son of Thomas, and Mary Haynes, aged q
years l month, and l day. His disease was
typhoid fever, his sufferings intense, but It
is all over now, and the happy soul has
gone to dwell with his angeled sister, in
the Kingdom OF Heaven. He was a brave
youngman, and of rare promise, possessing
all of the essential elements, for high
mental culture, which were being develop
ed in remarkable degree. Much might in
truth be said of the excellent qualities of
this young man. 1t is enough to say, if he

His aged mother attended his bedside, I'M

home TO tell his sister, and brother of his
hope OF Heaven. To the bereaved family
we extend our sympathies.

And strive to meet your brother and son

day in five civil rights cases, based on
the first and second sections of the civ
il rights act. These cases we're prose,
cutions for not admitting negroes tc

court holds that except in the District

the legislative power of Congress is

TIE DUDE.


We are growing weary of the word
dude" Like great many things
that were good 10 begin with, its pop
ularity has spoilt it, and it is not made
of a material to wear well. 1t has in
many instances been perverted from
its original meaning and in its general
use has no definite significance but is
simply an opprobrious epithet. Even
when the word is fittingly applied,
dude jokes have become so painfully
common as to almost warrant the muir
der of man who would wilfully per-
| petrate one on a defenseless victim.
If this word could be restricted to a
legitimate sense, it would serve good
purpose in marking out set of syco-
plants and parasites who are richly
deserving of ridicule. The following
from recent lecture by Eli Perkins
more clearly defines the kind of per-
son who really should be called a dude
than anything we have ever seen on
the subject:
A kind old father-in-law on Madison
avenue, who is supporting four or five
poor dudes as sons-in-law, went down
to see Barnum's Feejee cannibals,
"Why are they called cannibals?" ne
asked of Mr.. Barnum.
Because they live off of other peo-
pie" replied the great Snowman.
"Oh, | seeP replied the unhappy
father-in-law. HAlasI my four dude
sons-in-law are cannibals, too-they
live off mep
That is the true type-the creature
who hasn't sufficie~t strength of char
acter to be indept dent and wants to
live at ease and support a false style by
fastening himself like leech ON some
one else. 1t is not necessary that he
be son-in-law, the same conditions
can exist under other circumstances.
1t is only essential that he be a sense
less, idle and altogether worthless fell
low who affects superiority to ordina-
ry people and gets his living off OF
somebody else's means. That kind Of
dude is very common all over the
country, and in some places you can
find whole families of them.

HALL OF PYTHAGoRAS LODGE
No % n n II Dat d 1oOp

HALL OF PYTHAGORAS LODGE,
No. q, I. o. o. F., Oct. 9, 1888.
By the announcement OF the death of our
worthy brother and Treasurer, Jas. A. Bates,
this lodge is brought into the shadow OF a
great sorrow, and has imposed upon it the
sombre hue of mourning. 1t is right and
justly due to this fraternity as well as to a
sacred memory, that something more than
the mere mention of the closing of a life of
SO much usefulness should be said, and that
we indellfbly record our high estimate of
his well balanced character and good exam
pie.
He was born in Derbyshire county, Eng
land, May 18th, 1926 In his childhood he
came with his parents to the United States
and grew up in Pittsburgh, Pa, where, in
early manhood, he was admitted by Me-
chanic's Lodge, No. 8, into the fellowship of
our order. In January, 1856, he removed
with his wife and children to GAINESVILLE.
Shortly afterwards he became an active
member of this lodge, filling the several
official positions, the last of which and for
many years that of Treasurer, which rela-
ton subsisted until the morning OF October
g. 1888, when, in the full possession OF all his
faculties, he calmly and peacefully passed
through the gates of death, to that sleep in
the dust from which he shall awake when
the morning appears.
In the retreat OF the lodge room, as well
as out of it, Jas. 2. Bates was quiet and
unobtrusive man, but resolute in purpose
and diligent in all things, he did with his
might whatever his hands found to do. A
sincere lover of truth, he steadfastly avoided
the very semblance of falsehood and decep-
ton, and, severely truthful with himself
truthful with his family, and truthful with
the world, he commanded the respect and
the implicit confidence of all who had the
privilege of knowing him.
Full of years, full of love, full of honor, he
has gone to his rest, and whilst he rests from
his labors we will ever hold his memory in
generation, for the earnest devotion to
duty, the we'll tried virtues, the kindliness
and generosity, the sound judgment and the
firm adherence to principle which hallowed
his life amongst us.
In the death of such man we are pain
fully sensible that the lodge, as well as his
family, have sustained an irreparable loss.
Therefore we render this tribute of friend
ship and love, in memory of the pure and
unseltish character of our departed brother,
and move that it be inscribed with the
minutes of the lodge, and that a copy, to-
gether with the assurance of our undissem-
bled sorrow and sympathy with them in
this unspeakable bereavement, be conveyed
to his family. NJ. E. WILCOX,
