In MemOriam.

Died, in Pulaski, ON the 1lth of April,
little Willie, son of MIR. William A.
left, aged twelve months. A few
LAY after, on the Both of April, sweet
little Clara, Wi.lie's sister, aged two
years, also DEPARTED this lite. Both
children died of measles. Alas that
>uch sweet, pure spirits should become
the tenants of the cold, cold grave
The tender love of devoted mother
and the bright hopes OF a kind father
lie buried With the innocents thus sud-
'ierIy torn from their loving hearts
Like two White doves they have together
winged their flight tn that bright world
which lies beyond the "beautitul river
The little eherubs With golden wings
are now fitting around the "Great
White Thrune." their voices mingling
in happy chorus with ether glOritied
-pirits as :hey sing OF the bliss which is
theirs, and which will know no end
through the ceaseless Sges OF eternity.
Happy thought! and yet we mourn
their loss. Why should we? They
never knew sorrow even in this world,
and with stainless hearts they have
been received into the arms of Him
wb's said, "Suffer little children to come
unto me-"
fancy see two little angels to-day,
bright, happy, joyous, bathing in the
SualighC OF heaven, and as they wing
their way to the Golden Gates, looking
down, they say, don't grieve for US,
dear mama, dear papa, for we are SUI
prrmely happy, and we shall avail
your coming TO this bright and besuti-
Iul world OF ours.
"Ard they have gone; yes, passed away
from eArth's tempestuous CARES,
While kindred friends are mIngling now
their grief and bitter tears;
BIT death is vani-hei, borrowing ones, tho
cold bsneI tn the sod,
They 81, p eou.s so pure should only live
with God"

We are panied to learn that Mai.
Ben. P. Roy has almost entirely
lost his mind. He is at his broth
er-in-law's in Maury county, and
that gentleman writes that such is
the fact. This will be received
with sorrow by hundreds of people
through this county whohave known
the big-hearted, generous, impul-
size gentleman. 1t was observed
while he was in this county several
weeks ago that he was very absent
minded and apprehensions were
then felt and expressed. Mai. Roy
has long been identified with this
people and was very popular. We
have heard no surmises as to the
cause of the dethronement of his
reason, but we can imagine how
1t Is that proud and generous ma
ture would ct last break down of its
own weight when it finds itself In
declining wears without compan-
ionship. He never married aud his
was the exact disposition that
could appreciate and appropriate
affection and get the most of happi.
ness out of family relationship. We
hope it may not he perpetual
blight. We have hesitated week
or two to make this announcement,
until we were fully satisfied of the
sorrowfnl truth, for we know how
his nature would recoil aud his
feelings be lacerated if it were an
nounced prematurely.

Coming Festivities.

The ladies' society of the Presby-
terrain church will open to the public
one week during the present month
their annual spring bazaar. They
will have ON exhibition and for sale
quite variety Of articles, both use
ful and ornamental. There will also
be daily served a lunch of fresh
Strawberries with the usual accom-
paniments. The exact time and
place will be given later. 1t is
hoped that one night of the same
week a character concert under the
supervision of Miss Maude Ed
mundsUn will be given; but, if not
then, it will certainly come of in u
few weeks; and the music-Ioving
people of Pulaski and neighDoring
towns may confidently anticipate q
rich treat, for the program is taste
fully chosen and in skillful hands.

The pews at the Methodist church
were nearly all occupied al the
Third annual meeting Of the
Y. NJ. Z. A. last Sunday. Pres
Iuent Van o. Brown presided
ed with becoming ease and dignity.
The exercises, which opened With
The long metre doxology followed by
prayer by Rev. DIR. " right, were in
Ierspered with the various songs on
the program well sung, Miss Aber-
natIy organist. The 23rd, 46th and
9lst psalms were read in concert,
NJ. ssrs. Henry Smith, + G. Nc
Cord and Ernest Alternately lead
ing, and Mr. w. S. Ezell read the
9Th psalm. The short taiks..ot
Capt. Jno. S. Wilkes, Prof. w. Z.
Guthrie and Mr.. A. j. Alternately
tersely set forth the workings anu
object of the Y. NJ. G. A. and tue
condition OF the association ut this
place, which now has a member
ship of nearly two hundred. The
young men and the old were urged
To attend the neetingsand.t the means
of their accomplishing good were
clearly poin ed out, and the ladies
were also reminded that their infiu-
ence had already done much and
was still needed to keep alive and
increase The interest in the good
work. Mr.. L. w. Ewing, en- be-
half of the ladies auxiliary, pre-
scented the the association with u
handsome organ, in an eloquent adj
dress. He showed the ladies, as
auxiliaries, were in their natural
sphere and that in this instance, as
in all others, they had riva!ed the
leaders in the furtherance of the
cause and the accomplishment of the
desired results. Mr.. w. r. Craig
the part of the Y. NJ. c. A. res
pended, and in his earnest thanks
but spoke the sentiments of each
and every member of the assOcia
ton. 1t is we believe the unani-
nous opinion of the members of
the Y. NJ G. A. that the ladies OF
the auxiliary could not have done
better thing for the upbuilding OF
the association than they have done
by the presentation of the organ.
1t will tend more to bring the
Young men out to the meetings than
any other attraction of itself and
will it is believed increase the mem
hership. As was said by more
than one OF the speakers on this &C
casion, the influence of the auxlli.
ary for good has already been per-
ceptibly felt in the assoelatien, and
that influence viii Doubtless h.

Messrs. Gil. and jim Buford, NJ.
G. Fitzpatrick and r. G. Reynolds
got back Saturday night from two
weeks on Shoal. They set in at
Eagle Factory and fished to the
mouth, going down in boats. Mr..
Jim Buford caught two trout on the
same hook at the same time, one
weighing Il pounds and the other
p. The first one was hooked and
the hook passed on through the rent
in its lip and then another one was
hooked on the point. We cannot
undertake to furnish a diagram of
this one. The gentlemen refer by
permission to both banks, all the
ministers in the north end Of the
county, the officers Of the trotting
company, and all the citizens of the
18th district. As soon as their
affidavit is countersigned by Capt
James Hung-a-six-pOundtrou and
the-snood- broke Andrews, they
will frame it and bury it to keep it
from smelling too loud.
A tx inch-long club fish dropped
from the clouds near Mr.. Giles A.
Reg nolds' farm last Monday week
in a shower. A negro had taken
shelter under a tree during the
shower when the fish came rafting
down through the leaves at his feet.
He picked it up alive and directly
met Mr.. Reynolds in the road and
sh, wed it to him, still alive, and re-
lated the facts. This one will be
Incorporated in the above affidavit.
The fish came down wiggling and
would not lie still ON the ground.
That word ..'lie' is not good word
to use just here, but we were forced
10 use it by the persistency of the
fish in refusing to lie still and of
the gro in telling the tale.
Parties desiring first-class fish
tales ready-made for use and war
raDted to wash, will leave orders as
above. Those having marvellous
Sunday-schOol fish-stories to relate
eau get kicked out of tbs Office on
the half-shell by attempt ng to tell
them up here.

The boys of our village have

see the seven stars in day time by
looking through microscope;
several of them have trie,l it. Jack

comes up and insisted that he too
must take Il look, 50 he fixed him
self to see the miracle. j. T.. Rose

and he Was asked by the latter if
he could zee anything. He declar q,
as he arose rubbing his eyes and
looking around, that he could see
but for his life he could
not tell what 1t was, but said that
it looked more like water to him
than anything else, He does not
desire To look for them again in

= ach;rs rnstitnta.

The Institute was quite success.
So much so that the people effected
perma: ent organization, and the
ladies of Campbellsville petitioned
the teachers to hold their next meet
ing here.
Supt. S. D. Clack was elected
president, Prof R. p. Yancy vice
president and j. T. CIR ssno secre-
tary. The president being absent
the vice president presided.
The teachers, by the masterly
manner in which they treated their
subjects, convinced all present that
they were masters of the situation,
All acquitted themselves creditably.
But Profs. II. p. Walker and w. +.
Johnston merit special commenda-
ton from a more powerful pen than
mine. Prof. W. warned Messrs.
Soreback and Dryhones of their APP
preaching and inevitable end did
they not catch the spirit Of the age
and advance in their work. Prof.
j. proved conclusively that the
ordinary school boy has honor
which he can he taught to respect
and to which the teacher can appeal
for aid in government" Take it
all in all, it was very enjoyable
and instructive occasion.

McKImmIa's mBInatiol sac.

The catalogue for McKimmin's
com bination sale, which will occur
at Nashville to-day week, 18th, is
out. We see from this ami Learn
from that gentleman himself that
this is to be the largest sale he has
ever made. There is greater de-
mand for the class Of animals en-
braced ia the catalogue than ever
before, and the list being larger, Of
course the sale vii. be a success
The terms this year are cash.
This project of Mr.. McKimmin's
has done more perhaps than any
other one thing to advance the
stock Interests in Middle Tennes-
see. The list is not confined 10
any one man S property, but is q
general bringing together of good,
saleable stock, of such Character
and in such large numbers that it
attracts large numbers OF stock men
from all Larts OF the country, not
only insuring good prices, but af-
fording buyers a. sure oppor-
tuaity of getting stock 10 suit
them. Mr.. McKimmin does not
stint himself in advertising. He
uses the principal papers all over
the south for this purpose, and sew
eral at the north, besides issuing
an immense edition Of catalogues
and posting a large number of illu-
minated handbills. The sale this
year has been worked up under the
most favorable conditions and there
is not the slightest doubt Of i'm
mense success. Persons from Giles
may attend the sale and return the
same day.

had dropped litter of pigs in the

Strawberries.

We have received our annual con-
tribution of strawberries from the
garden of Hon. James McCallum.
ON East Hill, by the kindness IF
Miss Sallie McCallum They are
of several varieties, the commoner
ones being the Wilson and Jucenda;
then come the Sharpless, very large
and luscious; the Biiwell beauti-
ful, ripe-red berry; the Dutchess is
Dear-shaped and LOOKS good, and
Newman's Prolific is smaller but
has very sweet appearance. De-
cidedly the finest locking is the
Cumberland Triumph, enormously
large, blushing looking and Almost
dripping with sweetness. Ali
of them are delicious looking
and are brought to great perftc-
ton by Miss Sallie's watchful care
a note accompanying states that
the vines have borne some much
larger, but the birds take them as
soon as they get near ripe. She
says that the birds are more. nu-
merOuS and mischievDus than she
ever knew them and that we have
Il new bird in the field, which she
hints may he the English sparrow.
We have some of these little pest
about the business part of the city,
but we did not know that they ex-
tended their depredations into the
gardens. Thnse about tOwE have
been about exterminated, and if
his new bird is Identical with it, it
IS very fortunate that there is dis
position to kill them. Miss Nc
Callum has our sincerest thanks for
her kind remembrance. The Der
ries Indicate the possibilities of
strawberry culture in this climate,
both for use and for market. They
are too spar>ely planted here.
