GUS plants, flowers DC. to be found at

those who are interested in f1oracult-
ure. The catalogue compared with
those OF former years, shows numer-
GUS additions to the list OF rare plants
and exotics. Capt Crusman is spar
ing no pains to make the Lodge at
tractiye and equal to any flower garden
in the country.
Its business advancement is most
gratifying. Plants will be shipped

the Lodge is becomming as well
known in all the gulf States as it is at
home.

Lebanon Creamery.
Lebanon, (Ky.) Standard.

The citizens OF this city and vicinity
should be proud of this institution.
1t commenced a few months since,
turning out Is pounds of butter the
first day. During the first month the
highest number Of lbs. made one day
was 100. 1t now makes an average OF
160pounds daily and has made 273
pounds in one day. Its capacity is
j SEQ pounds per day. 1t has cans
located in Marion, Washington and
Bowie counties, and has routes organ
lied in Lincoln county. The contract
with ]. NJ, Brent & Co, of Chicago,
ILL.,, was that the Lebanon creamery
should have until spring or summer
in which to locate routes and place
cans. The can is patent one, and no
other creamery has the right to place
cans in any county in which this
creamery may locate theirs. The but
ter made is readily sold as fast as made
at good prices. 1t pays for cream 25c
per guage and runs four skimming
wagons to cOllec. the cream purchased.
In this way farmers secure good prices
for their cream and have it taken
right from their houses. Every far
mer in this county and vicinity should
have can or cans placed at their
house, thus securing a certain and
good market for their cream. At the
creamery are now to be had tanks for
milk cans, and every farmer should
secure one, as by their use they are
enabled to secure ! more cream
than by placing cans in spring houses.
The company now employees Z men
and during the spring and summer
expect to give employment to eight
or more men. The expenses OF the
company daily outside of the cream is
$l5. We are informed by Mr.. Neil
roy that in this and Washington they
are charged full toll for running their
wagons, but in Boyle county they
have been given n reduction in toll.
The operators of our pixies in this and
Washington counties dhould give
special rates of toll to the creamery
wagons, as the operation of the cream
cry is especially beneficial to the far
ming interests. Every person should
encourage and be proud of such an
institution and give it every aid.

ter Mason. To the Order lie was very
warmly and earnestly attached while he
was ever ready by word and example, to set

Death of Bishop Parker.

Bishop Linus Parker OF the NJ. Z
Church, South, died in New Orleans
Thursday, Feb. 5, 1886, of paralysis
The New Orleans Times-Democrat
pays him the following tribute:
The character of the deceased was
one of great humility and modesty.
His charity was unbounded, and he
was noted for his dislike of cOntrO-
versy, both in the pulpit and in the
conduct OF the journal which owes so
much to his earnest and well-directed
efforts. With all this he was man of
great tirmness, and pursued the work
he had chosen to perform without
swerving ever in the least from the
rigid line OF self-imposed duty. He
was graceful speaker, possessed the
happy faculty of bringing out the
latent meaning of the text selected for
his discourse. In his personal inter
course his manners were urbane and
easy, and he was ever ready to sympa-
thiZe with the sorrows and troubles of
his fellow men. As pastor, he was
always diligent and faithful.

BILL MORROW
viii be Hung April 18th unless the Gov
erRor Enterprises q Pardon.

Il
The Supreme court has affirmed the
sentence Of the court below in the
case of the State vs. VIM. Morrow for
the murder OF Dick Overton, and SEN
fenced the defendant to be hung on
the 18th Of April. The opinion OF
the court was delivered last Saturday.
Wequote the following from the Nash
vile Banner:
Judge Cooper, in delivering the
opinion, said, there is proof, principal
" consisting of the voluntary comics
sions of the prisoner tending to show
that the prisoner was at his own house
to which he had invited the deceased:
knocked the deceased down during
the early part of the night, tied his
hands behind him and drove him to
the mouth of the cave about three
quarters of a mile distant and there
shot him to death, and on the next
day, with the aid of his brother the
prisoner carried the body some dis
lance into the cave, where it was found
severed months afterward. 1t is not
denied that these facts would make
out case of murder in the first degree.
The bill of exceptions did not show
that any evidence in relation to the
condition of the child was offered, al
though the husband of the absent wit
ness was examined, and he testified
that his wife was not specially sick,
merely suffering with rheumatism in
her shoulder, and able, if she so de-
sired, to attend court.
Jdge Cooper then reviewed at length
the defense in the case. showing that
they charged the deceased with raping
the daughter OF the defendant, and
that he was forced into trial after
making an affidavit to the effect that
his mOther-in-law, a material witness
by whom they wished to prove the fact
of the rape, was absent on account of
sickness. The trial Judge, however
gave an attachment for the witness,
but no effort was made to bring her
into court" 4
The prisoner received his sentence
with compOsure. He did not utter
word until he was removed by an o..
icer from the courtroom, when he
asked, What did they do with my
case ?" He was told that the judge
ment OF hanging by the lower court
had been affirmed, whereupon he re-
piled: Il gness / will know it when
they hang me-" He was then taken
back to Jail. En- route he talked calm
ly OF commonplace topics and did not
again refer to his fate. Ransom Nor
row, when informed at the Jail OF his
sons fate, burst into tears
The opinion of the Supreme Court
in the case OF Ransom Morrow and P
F. Bellomy as accessories to the Muir
der of Jim Brown, will be delivered
to-day. The prisoners will probably
be brought back to GAINESVILLE next
week.

name of the advertiser. That phraze
has so long been applied to a well

him, and recognize it as readily as
they would his name. Such an adver-

Death of Robert EdmondsOn. Esq.

DEATH OF ROBERT EdmondsOn. ESQ.
To the Chronicle:
Robert Edmondson died February
Z, 1885, aged 66 years. He filled sew
eral offiC 81 Of trust in the county, such
as County Surveyor and Justice of the
Peace. Any trust reposed in his hands
was always faithfully kept His integ-
rity is without a stain. He leaves be-
hind him no man who can say he pur-
pOsely wronged or defrauded him.
But perhaps his browning virtue was
his open-handed generosity and his
compassion for the needy aud the suf-
fering. His ear was always open to
the cry of distress, and his hand al
ways ready to relieve it as far as he
could. 1t has long been observed that
he lived as much for others as tor HIM
self-perhaps more for others than for
himself. Toward himself he was self
denying-toward others open-handed.
He was a christian in profession and
practice; and, as was to be expected, he
died strong in the faith. Such men
have the confidence and respect of
every one, and in Gods sight are the
true heroes of this world. r.
