Fayette Chronicle

Fayette Chronicle.
Nearly every paper in the District,
which has declared a preference, is for
this gentlemen's reelection, and there
can be no doubt that he will receive the
nomination ON the first ballot, and we
would not be surprised if it was made
by reclamation. He has made US a
steadfast, reliable, able and energetic
member, and his usefulness is being felt
and acknowledged. He is not alone our
representative, but his influence is being
felt all over the Republic, and he is fast
gaining place side by side with the
ablest and most experienced of his fell
low-members. We could not do better
i'm fact, could not do as well-then
send him back to the position he has
honored. Throughout the limits of this
or any other State there is no truer man
or more faithful Democrat than Ethel
Barksdale, and it would be the part of
folly for the Seventh District, just as
she needs his service so much, to turn
her back upon him. One thing is GER
tain, Jefferson county will not do it, nor
do we believe will any other county in
the District. In the many years of the
past he has proved his faith by his
works, and has done as much or more,
in various ways, to triumphantly over
throw the Radical rule of ruin, aud his
mind is so well balanced that his coun-
sci has ever been on the side of wisdom,
and when followed was sure to lead to
success. In no way, in point of intellect,
worthiness or faithfulness, Fcan we find
a man more suited for the position, and
the general verdict is, he must be his
own successor, and it is wise and just
verdict.

Address and Presentation Of Diploma
Rev. DR.. G. B. Galloway.

Benediction, by DIR. Hunter.
The spelling contest excited special in
terest. Some Of the words on which the
contestants failed. were: swap, marchioness,
tragedy, claimant, scion, crisis, iceburg,
sulpher, knead, cygnet. When it came to
the last word, Willie Galloway and Annie
Hemingway were the only ones on the
platform Both missed in the order
named, but the latter being on the plat
form last, was, under the rule, aware ed the
BEAUTIFUL prize.
Little Ada Saunders was especially COM
plimented for her excellent spelling, and
her clear and distinct pronunciation. In
deed all the participants exhibited a ia
miliar acquaintance with Webster's Spell
Ter.
DIR. Galloway address was brief but ex-
eeedingly appropriate to the occasion. AL
it was an enjoyable Commence
ment occasion, and the Misses Lusk, the
Principals, have just cause
to be proud OF the progress of their pupils,
and the general success of their school
OF the opening of next ses-
sion will be made in due time.

Mississippi Glrls.

At literary and musical entertain
ment of the "GirPs Chapter" at Nash
vile, Misses Bacon and Brunson, just
like Mississippi girls always do, acquit-
ted themselves with great credit. We
make the following extracts from the
World of the 18th inst:
Instrumental duet. Miss Brunson and
Miss Bacon, of Mississippi These young
ladies were a credit to the grand old State
of Mississippi. Their execution was
faultless and grand. The composition was
difficult one, but they went through it
with grace and ease, and were applauded
long and loudly.
The Chapter editors: Miss Pescud,
North Carolina, Miss Shaw, Louisiana,
Miss Bacon, Mississippi. Miss Mamie
Bacon read the paper, "a Normal Stu
dents Life, in -Four Chapters" She read
beautifully and gave expression to every
word she uttered. She has the voice and
manners so peculiar to our Southern land
Surely Mississippi must be proud of this
beautiful and gifted daughter. Her elo-
cution is not only natural but she has
added culture to her great natural gifts.
Sne mas certainly ndut Soou use Vi HeE
time during her attendance at the Normal.
She read the solemn and the humorous
equslly we'll and charmed the audience. A
wild burst OF applause followed her clos
ing words. She then read extracts from
exchanges, which were alternately grave
and witty, and pleased her listeners ex-
ceedingly.
Then came a song, "The Camelia and
Rose" by Miss Brunson, OF Mississippi.
Mississippi has her many, many song
birds, but none sweeter than this. As We
near the tropics the birds sing sweeter and
grow brighter and their music floats more
freely forth. This mocking bird of the
South sustained the reputation of her sis
tiers. Two handsome fancy baskets OF
beautiful flowers were sent forward to the
fair songsiress.
Miss Brunson,it is hardly necessary to
say, is Bessie" the eldest daughter OF
Capt. A. L. Brunson of this city, and
Miss Bacon is Marshall county girl.
Mississippi is proud of her girls.

short but painful Mness. He organ
lied J. NJ. Howry Lodge, No. lS7, at old
Heman church. one mile east of Spring
| Dale, in 1854, 80 years ago. Our Lodge
had the honor of bearing his venerable
name since its organization, and he has
watched over us ever since, and loved
us next to his own family; always ready
to counsel and help 'us. We feel that
We have sustained an irreparable loss.
Brother Howry was a devoted mem.
Der of the old Oxford Lodge, No. 80,
and the late 7, S. Gathright Lodge, No

Whereas, In his death, his family, the
fraternity and the community at large |
have sustained great loss, yet from tes- |
timonials left behind we are assured that |
our loss is his eternal gain, that he has /
been called from his labors on earth to |
eternal refreshment in the Celestial |
Lodge above; be it
Resolved, That this Lodge tender to |
his bereayed family our heartfelt sym
pathy and share with them their grief. /
I'd, That in his death the Lodge has
lost its best friend and one who had the
cause of Masonry at heart; having be-
come thoroughly indoctrinated into the
precepts and principles of the Order he
governed his life by them.
Sd, That we will cherish the memory
of our departed brother and endeavor to
initiate his virtues and become more eff
ficient members of our honorable Order.
4th, That the Lodge be draped in
for thirty days, and that we
will long retain in our memories the
and tried friendship of our
brother and his earnestness in whatever
seemed his duty. Y

lions be spread upon record, a copy
