YESTERDAY morning we observed
a heap of snow on the sidewalk in
front of Marshal Eli and Warren Tay-
lor's carpenters shop, adjoining the
WORLD office. The snow was in GU
bic blocks about three feet six inches
through each way, and was piled high.
The sidewalk was completely OBJ
structed. As neither Eli nor " arren
had put in an appearance at the shop,
we struck across the street to make
inquiries about the ''whereforeness Of
the which" The first man we saw
was Adolph Feyhl, who was baskine
in the sunshine on Marcus corner
awaiting the arrival Of Marshal. We
approached him, and lifting our RICH
arm to a horizontal position, anc
/ pointing with index finger at the huge
pile of frigidness, queried: "Adolph
dost thou understand the whyfornes
of this thusness?" and he answered
"That I do. On one bowling day i
the month of March, | bet Marsha
$40 that snow would be lingering O
the streets of Idaho City on the frs
day of the merry month of May, an
he took it up" That explained it.

NOSE KEMPNER don't mosey along
slowly over the Idaho City and Ban

countenance was observed on our
streets early Tuesday forenoon, and he
looked like he was ready fer another

oone TO Banner and back--Slxty
miles. foot. Nose started on his
return soon after reaching Banner, SO
as to get over the snow while there
was a crust. Truly, Nose is a tough
one. He is small but made OF good
material.

A ~Dox-Gonedv CLOSE Cal. J,

A. FEYHL, better known as
Boise" is a good wag and jokeist,
prognosticator, weather
ratrouter, and all that sort
of thing, but is not a grand success
as dog destroyer. A friend of his
had dog he wanted killed, but
hadn't the courage to kill it. Boise
said to him: "I'm kind of weak
kneed that way myself, but If you're
determined that the dog shall die,
Alex, I'll do the deed" Well skip
over details intervening between the
conversation and supposed fatal shot,
at which the dog keeled over, kerr
fiummixed and died, as Boise thought.
The canine was thrown into the creek
and foated off, and Boise, with the
spirit of meditative sadness pulling
his feature downward, walked SLOWLY
back. He felt as if he had commit
ted murder in the first degree with
out provocation, and with premedita
ton and no malice aforethought--;
case unparalleled. He went arount
all day long, sad-eyed, long-featured
with head hung down under tn
pressure of about fortyseven pound
of grief, and no kind of funny rack
ct could coax back the smiles of 10
and mirth that before this delighte
in chasing each other over the round
ed area of his glowing physignom
: lighted up by the radiant beams {
continual happiness-the aforesai
smiles skipping over his countenane
in a merry game Of tag or hide-anC
go-seek. The smiles of j. and m. ha
ceased to skip, and no one, save b
friend Alex, knew the reason VIII
:. That night at the still, dead hour
u midnight, a scratching at the do
awakened Alex. from peaceful slur
n bers, and familiar bark, which W
O interpreted to mean ''let me in" to
d Alex. that his dog was not dead. T
t. bullet just grazed his neck and on
stunned him, and he is alive and ha
Ply, and Boise is happy again too, b
Il, it is said he is ashamed to look t

Springfield.

| To the Chronicle:
Last Saturday morning boarded
the train for Springfield. In compa-
ny with several others from Clarks-
Vile, to attend the Robertson Coun-
ty Seed Show.
All connections were made on
time, and at 10 o'clock we reached
our destination, with train full OF
people picked up at the different
stations along the line. The rain
doubtless prevented many from at
tending the show, but notwithstand-
ing all the disadvantages, the city
was full of people from Robertson
and adjoining counties.
The Show was held in the new
and beautiful Court House, and
thither I accordingly followed the
crowd. On arriving, we found the
commissioners busily engaged in
receiving exhibits, and placing
them on long tables in the lower
halls. The large court room up
stairs was set aside for the speakers
of the day, Commissioner A. J. Nc
Whittier, Mr.. G. E. Merrill and Col.
B. F. Cockrill.
1t would beimpossible to mention
the many varied and rich exhibits
which were displayed so suffice it
to say that the show was acomplete
success in every partlcular-even
more so than the most sanguine of
the managers had anticipated. The
display of fine corn and other cere-
ais was magnificent. as was also the
vegetables and other small items of
household industry in which the
ladies take special delight The
butter, however, was about the
prettiest exhibit, and attracted more
universal attention than anything
else. The show was undoubtedly a
splendid one, and will do Robertson
a deal of good.
Sunday EASTER I attended SER
vices at the Methodist church, and
listened to an excellent sermon from
the pastor, Rev. ]. W. Farris. The
beautiful new church was decorated
with lovely flowers in honor of the
"Resurrection Day." by the ladies
of the congregation.
While in Springfield your cores
pendent was the guest of Rev. s. d.
Ogburn, under whose hospitable
roof was also Miss Mary Ogburn,
ofNew Providence, and Miss Mamie
Spence, of Nashville. Thanking
my friends in Springfield for a de-
lightful time, and wishing them all
prosperity and happiness, / am
Yours truly,

1T is sad to relate that notwith-
standing the very excellent quality
and large assortment of goods with
which the Clarksyille merchants
fill their stores, people who live
here will persist in sending to Louis
vile, Cincinnati and even New
York for articles they wish to pur-
chase. This can hardly be accoun-
ted for except on the mystical and
unreasonable principle that ''dis-
lance lends enchantment." Messrs.
Coulter Brothers, in their advertise
ment on the first page ofthe CHRON-
ICLE, offer "to match any sample
from New york in quality and price
that may be brought to them. They
ask those who are in the habit of
sending off for goods to give them a
trial. After such a fair proposition
as this there can be no excuse for
not buying goods at home.

A NEGRO drove a fine heifer to
Mr.. Robt. Pages grocery, two miles
from the city on the Nashville pike,
Tuesday, and asked permission to
put her in lot till he could come
to town and sell her. Mr.. Page
consented and the negro turned in
the heifer and left. A short time
afterwards DR.. Pardue stopped at
the grocery and recognizing the
heifer informed Mr.. Page that she
was the property of Mr.. Peyton
Keesee, who lives in that locality.
Mr.. Keesee came soon afterwards
and confirmed the statement, but
the negro has not been seen since.
He evidently intended to steal the
heifer, but found out he had been
caught up with, and therefore didn't
return.

adopted:
Whereas, In his inscrutible providence

and
Whereas, The deceased has been an hon.
ored and a useful member of our Lodge for
a number of years; and since out of the
Sabbath school. the church and this COM
munity, he has dropped, in all of which re-
lations he has been a leading spirit in every
movement that tended to benefit and exalt,
truly good man has gone, and left in many
hearts a void which none can fill; therefore
be it
Resolved, That in sadness and sorrow we
mourn the loss of one who was near and
dear to our hearts, and offer this last sad
tribute of respect to departed worth. In the
height of his reputation and the maturity
of his powers, his career of usefulness and
duty has been suddenly but gently arrested.

Asleep, but still alive! We cannot associate
him with the name of death. He lives in
our hearts, and his example of sobriety and
Christian integrity we shall strive to fmi-
tate. The number and character of those
who were sad witnesses of the funeral ser
vices, the tears OF stricken 1r1endS, Dear tes-
| timony to the respect and esteem in which
he was held by this community. AS his
brethren we feel that our loss has been his
eternal gain, and that our friend and broth
er has only preceded us to that Grand Lodge
above, where soon or late We hope to meet
him.
Resolved, That to his bereaved family we

| in the loss of him, who was loving and
| devoted husband, a faithful son, an attec-

to Him, "who tempers the wind to the shorn

Resolved, That as token of our respect

Evergreen Lodge.

We experienced some disappoint-
ment on visiting this establishment
on Monday to see the fiowers-there
were scarcely any left in bloom.
When the reason was stated, how
ever, no room was left for surprise.
The establishment had furnished
Easter decorations for three church
IS, those at Nashville, Trenton and
Clarksyille, bouquets and decora-
tions for the ball of last Tuesday
and floral tributes for two funerals.
The truth is that the gardens of
Evergreen Lodge are becoming an
important factor in the commercial
activity of GAINESVILLE and are al
ready widely and favorably known
throughout the area of several
States. Expectations of flower cut
tings, asparagus, tomato and cab
bage plants. fruit trees and all other
products of the garden and nursery
have been made during the last
week TO New Orleans and many
points in Louisiana and Mississippi,
to Hopkinsville, Russellville, Bowl
ing Green, and one order even to
Mecklenburg, Va. The thousands
of small pots containing growing
slips of fuschias, geraneums. coleus-
es, verbenas, heliotrope, &C., &C.,
are a marvel to behold, and the true
floral splendors of the place not only
will soon flourish in the gardens
and porticos of GAINESVILLE, but will
occasion many spot in four or five
surrounding States to blossom as the
rose.
Mr.. Munro tells us that to meet
the growing demand for his pro-
ducts he will be compelled next
year either to take in additional
land'or to abandon the market gar
dening, and conf1ne himself to the
sale of flowers, fruit trees and grow
ing plants. If the man is public
benefactor who makes two blades
of grass flourish where but one
grew before, what are we to think
of the creation of a paradise where
few years ago there was nothing
but sterile hill side.
