Little Lucille, age scven years daughter
81 W. e. NJ Wright, of Salisbury. died
last Sunday evening She was an unusu-
ally bright little gigd aNd her death occa-
stoned universal regret in the community.
She was visited by almost every one in
the town, while upon her death bed, and it
was with many a tear that the favorite of
the village was given up to the cold en-
brace of death. The family have the SYM
pathy of many friends in their bereave-
ment.
The pupils OF the Methodist Sunday
School, under the auspices Of the Superin-
tendant and teachers had public exercises
IN recitationS, dialogues, essays and music
at the church in Bolivas Monday night.
The crowd in attendance was large and AT
preciatiye, and the exercises were of high
order Of merit. Where all did so well we
could not in justice mention one without
complimenting all, and we regret our space
Is limited, We hope such exercises will
become geberal in the Sunday Schos9s
They are instructive and entertaining.
We note with pleasure the fact that orr
friend Prof. w. A. Mcdaniel was made
temporary chairman OF the recent Democrat
ic convention at Bolivar, and one of the
secr' tari's OF tie Congressional convention
at Memhhis. Prof. Mcdaniel is of the
young and progressive Democracy. and
his speech before the Hardeman con-
vention was warmly approved. lie is one
81 the promising young men Of the coun-
", highly educated, graceful and accom-
plished, and the public appreciation of him
f' gratifying Ia his many friends.
Last Saturday evening a personal diff
Guilty occurred in Bolivar, between Mr.. J..
c. Savage, County Trustee, and Mr.. Gar.
Patrick, both old citizens. Of the county, in
which Mr.. Patrick received severe, tho
not dn@gTous lick on the head, from a
stick in the hands of Mr.. Monroe Savage,
who seeing his father in danger from the
strokes Of a knife in the hands OF Mr.. Pat
rick, naturally took a hand. We are not
acquainted with AR Patrick. and know
nothing of the cause of the trouble. but we
do know Mr.. Savage, and have always be
heved him to be the last man to offer
personal grievance. The occurrence was
usaiOrtUnate, and is regretted no less by the
Friends Of Mr.. Savage than by those of Mr..
Patrick.
Esquire Isaac. W. PilsIe of the Toone
