 Everything Is getting in shape for the collection of specimens for tle Worlds Exposition at New Orleans. Mir. E. F. Babcock Is on the road work ing up an interest so as to make fine display of our natural products. The very best specimens that can be had is wanted of all our grains, grasses etc. These should be secured around q straight stick to prevent breaking. All fruits should be picked as soon as they have attained full size and are well coi- |ored and while yet hard. They should be carefully packed to avoid brnising in some soft substance. There should be plenty in each variety, eight or ten at least. All specimens can be deliver cd to Mir. W. J. White, who Is chairman of the county committee to superintcnd the matter. We hope that our people will pay close attention to this matter, for nothing could be of more interest to them. Wehave the products and the world ought to know it. Let's make a good showing at New Orleans and go to work at once. Save your best speci- mems of rye, wheat, oats and all the grasses as they are now coming in, and everything else as it natures.

 Three convicts from the rock quar- rv near Piney escaped on last Monday. Gn Mir. A. J. Latta's farm they cap tured a Mir. Prices horse, but the ami nal proving obstreperous, they aban- doned him. They are armed with a double barrelled shot gun, six shooter, and deringer. A pursuing party con sisting of the Supt. of the quarry, MT. Bud Brown and Mir. Covey, overlook the conyicts on Tuesday night, near Norristown, where a fight ensued, in which eight or ten shots were fired by the convicts, and six or seven by the pursuers, and in which Mir. Covey had his middle finger shot off. The con victs resisted capture and passed on down the river.
 A forty year lease was consummat- ed last week for the Shinn Coal mine. The lease was negotiated through it's agent, MT. E. J. Williams, with the Soddy Coal Company of Chattanooga, Tenn. The lessees agree to pay so much royalty per annum for the privi- lege of mining the coal. The company will have men on the ground in couple of weeks to prospect preparatory to sink ing shaft and putting everything in shape to run coal on large scale. The company expects to work large num- Der of hands and have made partial arr engagements for right of way for tram way from the mines to the railroad and the river. The lease was placed on the whole body of the Shinn land and we hope it will pan out to their great ad- vantage, and the coal company, as we have every reason to believe, will make a good thing of it also. Russellville is to be congratulated also on this arrange ment, as it will add much to her inter. ests in every point of view, but espec- ially in developing her manufacturing interests.

Nothing is so inevitable as death, the unwelcome messenger that demands admittance at the portals of every home, and with remorseless touch sewers the silver cord of life, bearing away the forms of our loved ones, tearing assun- der the links of affection, that have been woven into a beautiful chain at the sacred shrine of Love, and which seems the brightest part of life, leaving the heartstrings torn and bleeding in response to his cruel blow. Yet each visitation is repeated shock, and we ever stand awestricken in the presence of this formidable visitant.
 In recognition of these solemn facts, do we now as Chapter, mourn the death of our beloved sister, Sallie A. Peeler, Worthy Matron of the George A. Dannelly E. s. Chapter No. P, whom it pleased God, in most strange and mysterious dispensation of His wise, through unfathomahle provi- elence, to remove from our order on Thursday May l5. 1884 We feel that 1t is due to the memory of the deceased to the deeply afflicted husband, as we'll as others, to whom association had ea- leared her, that we give expression to our emotions in this sad bereavement.
 Resolved, That while we bow in humble submission to the will of Him who doeth all things well, and rccog- nize an allwise, yet inscrutabse mani festation of his Providence, in the death of our inestimable sister, whose Loss we sadly realize, cherish lasting memories of her efficient labors While here, and find consolation in the happy thought that the cross has been exchanged for the crown that encircles the brow ol his loved one, in cline where sorrow pain and death are unknown.
 Resolved, That in this decree of oul Heavenly Father, an important seal has been left vacant in our Chapter and that 1t should remind us, that w too are subject to the unchanging law | Of death, and that we should ever liy' near the cross of Christ, which wal borne without murmering, by our la mented Sister.

On the 17th day of Aprll, 1884, our beloved Brother J. c. Pankey was called from the quarries of earth into the immediate presence of the Supreme Grand Master, King I'm mortal and Invisible.
 It was hoped that our brothers s health would be restored and be al lowed to remain among us, but 1t was not so. He who knows best saw fit to call Bro. Pankey into that rest that remains for the just made per feet.
 Bro. Pankey has been Mason 45 years, l Il months and l7 days, he having been made one soon as old enough. As man, mason, husband and father, your committee fails to find at any time of his life that he violated any trust imposed in him. Therefore as committee we submit the following resolutions:
