.respondence Of the Democrat.

Correspondence of the Democrat
 Georgetown is not really dead and buried, though quiet, and seldom heard from, at least through the col
 umns of your paper. Crops, gar dens and truck patches are looking tolerably well, though the weather is too cool for vegetation to grow rap
 idly and look as well as it would if there was more sunlight and warmth. Our raspberries are yielding us a good crop, and grapes promise we'll, tue peach trees are loaded with fruit though some of the earliest varieties promise to be quite late--the apple trees are also full of fruit, we do not get much good of our apples as they speck and fall off before they are matured.. :. The health of the neighborhood is very good, I believe, at least I have heard of no sickness.
 We have the convicts near us working in rock quarry) which we do not like, some of them escape once in a while, but I think are not successful Tn getting far, though have not heard whether but two of the six that got away last week are captured yet... We have school in Georgetown, taught by Miss Adah Wakefield, there are only few pu
 pills, but the school IS quiet and or derly, and I think the children learn fast. We are, l learn. to have free school here this summer, we have Sabbath school which is we'll attend. ed and much interest manifested by officers, teachers and scholars. We seldom have preaching at this place. Mir. Brashear breaches once a month. MT. Graham preached here twice 1 think, since he has been on the cir cult, we go when it is convenient to do so, to London, where, believe they have preaching some oftener than we do We quiet country folks have plenty of bread, meat, milk, butter and garden truck to live on. We are not running up store accounts, but when we need new dress save butter or eggs, take to market and exchane for cloth. Our children are fat, rosy and full of life, and I've pray the bessedest things there be on their future may de cend." $. L.

4 REVEREND RASCAL.
DR. J. K. FREEMAN EXPOS. ED TO PUBLIC GAZE.
A Villain that Should he Hunted
 Down and Punished.

The Rev. Dr. J. K. Periman who will be remembered by our community, has the benefit Of "a little airing by Rev. w. D. Mathews in the Christian Ad- yocate of the 17th of last month. It is useless to say he needed ten fold more than he got. It is also useless for us to allude to his conduct among us. Our readers know that; how he abandoned his wife and little son, and left them without the means of support on the charge of his wife's aged father. But they perhaps don't know how he sloped back to Illinois and took up with q former wife, one from whom 1t is said he was not divorced until three months after his marriage here, and it is thought is living with her now in Law renee county, Mo. We append the fol- lowing:
 "AlIow me to warn the Church at large of one J. K. Periman, local preacher in the Russellville charge, Arkansas Conference, M. E. Church, South. The said Periman came from Illinois to Russellville, several years ago, leaving lawful wife there, from whom he was not divorced until about three months after he had married q wife in Russellville. Now from our best information he has left the wife in Russellville, and the last intelligence from him is to the effect that he went to the home of his first wife, and with ber he left Salem, H., for some point in Missouri-Lockwood, Dade county, or Red Oak. J. K. Periman is about six feet high. high forehead, his right arm off above the elbow, rather light com plexiOn, hazel eyes. After due form, the Seccnd Quarterly Conference for Russellville charge expelled him from the Church lie failing to appear. He left Russellville, Ark, in January, and has his license, approved by the Fourth Quarterly Conference of last year.

A Pronhecy Fulfilled

Correspondence of the Democrat.
 It has been said that towards the close of the present century many strange and startling things would transpire, and on reading the query of Mir. c. E Tobey in the last issue of the DEMOCRAT, one is almost led to the conclusion that the prophecy is about to be fulfilled. Who had ever dreamed that democratic prin- ciples had been kept in such pro. found secrecy? A school boy might well ask such question, but that Mir. Tobey, whom everyone allows is we'll up with the times, must needs ask what are democratic principles, seems passing strange--a kind of preposterous monstrosity. Have not the acts of this great national party been open2 Has not it's platform

Tribute of Respect.

Ira, son of w. A. and Sarah Vim was born in Crockett Co.,, Tenn. Nov. 2S, 1877. Ira was bright, pleasant boy, of more than ordinary mind for one so young, and he was a faithful scholar of the NJ. E. Sunday school.
 Just as the spring breezes began to fan the noble brow and revel in the golden locks, whilst he and his twin brother Arthur were arranging their little wagons and toys for their summer sports their heads to be crowned with floral wreaths of their seventh summer, Spinal Meningitis wound it's fatal coils al ound little Ira, and by the aid of the best medical skill and the kindest atten- tion both from loving parents, sisters, brother, and attentive friends he strug- gled with death eighty days, then the King of terror gained victory. On the 2Sth day of May amidst the bloom ing flowers his spirit returned to the God who gave 1t, to enjoy the bright flowers on the other green shore. He leaves parents, brother, and sisters to mourn their loss.
 .But tell us thou bird of solemn strain
 Can those whs have loved forget?
 We call but they answer not again, Do they love, do they love as yetf We call them far through the silent night And they speak not from cave or hill, We know that their land Is bright But say do they love there stilif' It Is certain that they live there and they love there, from that brightsphers from that calm region, from the bowers of life immortal they speak to us; they say to us "Sigh not in despair over the broken and defeated expectations of earth, sorrow not as those who have no hope, o, death. the christians death, what art thou but the gate of life, the portal Of heaven, the threshold oi eternity?"

 Please give space in your paper for few lines ln answer to very simple question propounded in your issue of the 29th ult., by the Hon. C.. K. Tobey. He says "Mr. Democrat what are democratic principles, 1 mean the principles of the democrat ic party now, to-day" Now, Mir. Tobey, as you were considered one of the best expounders of democratic principles in Pope for about 2S years l will just refer you to your own acts and speeches during that time, as democratic principles can't change, I think this better answer to your question than 1 could possibly give in any other way.

May 21st, at the residence of the brides father, by Rev. w. D. Moffitt, Mir. R. c. Brown and Miss Fannie New port.
 I saw two clo uds at morn,
 Hinged by the rising sun,
 Evening came, they h0atcd on
 And mingled into one.
 It was lurid eve. But by 9 o'clock the house was filled with friends all eager to witness the grand and imprcs- siye ceremony. Early next morning the happy, yet sad, couple, bid us fare well and started for their new home in Florida. May peace, prosperity and happiness ever attend them, and when they have filled their mission on earth may theirs be a happy reunion beyond the chilling tide of deaths dark stream.

Triumph OF surgery.

The British Lancet gives an ac-
count of a young woman who became
unable to swallow in consequence of
extreme narrowing Of the opening
from the gullet into the stomach,
wasting of the body and loss or pow
er threatening death. Prof. Loretta
made an opening into the body over
the stomach, then freely cutting into
it, introduced an instrument through
the narrow opening from the gullet,
and widened it after the fashion of a
glove stretchcr. The wounds were
closed by stitches and the patient al
lowed to wake from her thirty min
utes' painless slumbcr under chloro-
form. The happy result was soon
proved by the patient swallowing
three tablespoonfuls of water with
perfect ease, whereas before the OPP
Grafton she could only swallow a few
drops of broth at time. Recovery
was complete within five weeks. AS
to the authenticity of the facts there
can bo no question, the operation hay-
ing been performed by the Professor
OF Surgery in the University of Boil,
gna, which is one of the oldest anc
most celebrated seats of learning il
Europe.

The Popular Vote.

Attention is now being directed to
the election returns of the Presiden-
tial campaign Of 1880, which show
how very nearly equally divided the
voters Of the United States are pol1t-
ically. In 1880 Garfield received for
President 4,442,9 $50; Hancock, 4, AIR.
023; Weaver, 307,306, and 1876
scattering. The States were equally
divided hetween Garfield and Han
cock, each having nineteen, but the
States carried by Garfield had 214
electoral votes, while those carried by
Hancock had only 155 electoral votes.
Garfield carried New York by plu-
rality of 21,O33 over Hancock, and
without that State he would have been
defeated, as the thirty-slx electoral
votes Of the State would have elected
Hancock. 1t is remarkable, says the
Silver State, that more than 100000
voters in the United States in 1880
should be SO very nearly equally di-
vided on the political issues of the
day. In 1876, four years previous tc
the last Presidential election, Tilden
had 4,2S4,8S5 to Hays 4,033,950
while in 1872, Grant had 3,597,070 tc
2,S34,079 for Greeley.
