We hope our readers win excuse our be-

cause Of our delay this week.

We understand that Dr. VIM. Thompson,
one Of Hardeman's best citizens who has
been spending the summer at Hot Springs
with his family, has purchased two or three
lots at that place and intends building
dwellings on them. Dr. Thompson is an
enterprising man and his investment is no
doubt a good one.

soul took its flight to the God who gave it.
lie vas only years Of age The funeral
was preached at the residence by Rev. w.
T. Locke, the interment took place at Union
Cemetery. We sympathize with the ser
rowing family in their deep trouble.
We call attention to a communication in
this issue from citizen regarding public free
schools. We have previously on several oc-
Casiops, urged the Improvement of and
building mp OF the public schools. We are
no doubt severely criticized abroad on this
question, and we cannot deny that we de-
serve it. What excuse can we advance, with
rs many advantages for the building up Of
good free schools? Nearly all of our neigh
boring towns have voted school tax, and
public schools in those counties are now
hOurishing, and this very fact is one of the
greatest features that encourages migration
and brings into county good citizens-no
man will locate in aplace where he cannot
have the benefit of good public schools.
Let citizens hold meeting and devise some
means by which we may have good public
free schools to run ten months in the year.
