The wheat has been all gather
ed into the gamers and occupies a
very, very small space therein. The
Burgess & MOoIe thresher which
threshes an immense amount OF
wheat returned in few days, hav
ing done nothing comparatively
and all the wheat threshed. The
Cover & Wisdom thresher which
has threshed 5000 in one season
didn't more than reach one thous-
and There has been only one
good crop of wheat harvested in
this community and that ore was
on r. II. Laird's farm. From 29
acres of land he obtained 696 hush
els of extra wheat. Hence we see
the Importance OF putting in a crop

PiSGah,

Our annual protracted meeting
which commenced August LIST clos
ed last Sunday. The pastor was
assisted by Revs. Z. J. Duncan, w.
S. Harwell, Henry Booth, John
Burns of Richland circuit, A. NJ.
Ezell, and Woodland, Logan Har-
well, Harburd and Coleman Har-
well. This strong team of preach
ers did as faithful work and as
good preaching as ever preachers
did and the entire church worked
as never . church worked before.
One of the most gracious revivals
that was ever witnessed on this
consecrated hill was the result of
these efforts. There was a power
full outpouring of the Holy Ghost
upon this part of the moral vine
yard; about seventy persons were
converted and several among them
were the old of the community who
had stood out in bold opposition
to the cause of Christ until their
heads were frosted with age. All
business was suspended for the
week and Notwithstanding the OPP
pressive heat and dust, the congre
cations were large and the interest
of the meeting increased each day.
AS our pastor had tagged from
hard work and heat, there was no
preaching on the last day, and the
day was spent in an experience
meeting. Nearly all the oongre-
CATION boldly testified that they had
been greatly blessed. There were
fifty eight joined the church. The
prayer meeting will still be held
every Saturday night,
Many persons were visiting in
the community last week and at
tended the revival-Baxter Will
liams and wife, Ed. Williams and
wife, Misses Hope Winstead, Lille
and Florence Oliver and Bob Will
iams, all of Nashville, Misses Ma
ME, Laura and Lessie Lester and
Menie Raulston of Testers station,
Misses Dina and Ina Alsup ef
Boons Hill. and Eddie Owen of
Lynnville.
The health of the community
Is very good. Jim Ingram has
been sick with bilious fever but is
getting well.
The Baptists will commence a
meeting at Unity church next Fri
day night. 1t will be protracted
next week by Rev. George Byron
of Bee Spring. ROVER.

A Result of the Stock Sale.

81. H. B." says in letter to the
Spirit of the Farm; 'Since the
Giles County Breeders sale, July
II, at Pulaski, at which stock sold
at ruinous rates, our stock breeders
have had the question constantly
before them as to what effect this
sale would have on stock breeding.
The first impression was that the
effect would be to paralyze the
stock interest. Our stockmen felt
very 3lue, but they find that it is
having exactly the opposite effect
that was feared. Many of the ami
mails sold have changed hands since
at an advance of from % to so per
cent. And all are filed with regret
that they did not purchase such
rare bargains, and | am told by a
stockman that he had never had so
many inquiries about stock as since
the sale, and it is his opinion that
Giles county stockmen never had
such an advertisement as this sale.
She established the fact that she
has fine stock, and will sell cheap,
and will be sought by buyers in the
future, and stOck-training instead
of suffering will be benefited by the
very low price realized at this sale. y
So the CITIZEN predicted at the
time of the sale, and we believe that
if the stock breeders have another
sale next year it will be the most
successful one that we have ever
had.

to whom he was so closely bound by
ties of lasting confidence. Children
endeared by the tenderest parental care
ana the wilcihe had loved 80 fondly and
so long and she the noble embodiment
of truest womanhood. The wife, that
like the generous vine that with teuder-
est tendrils twines around the decaying
oak and clings closest in the storm,
sending forth grateful flowers and
shedding richest fragrance; so was she
sublime in her tenderness and devotion
to the moment OF his death,
But friends and fortune, honor and
love, nor the consciousness OF a life so
nobly spent could stay the inevitable
hour. He sleeps in the quiet valley,
near by those he loved so well, and for
him fond endearing memories linger as
liAger the evening light upon the rosy,
smiling sky, long, long after the sun
has set.
After Col. Roses remarks the
resolutions were unanimously adop-
ted by the citizens meeting and
the secretary was instructed to fur
nish a copy of the proceedings to
,he family of the deceased and also
% the CITIZEN and to the journal
If Medicine at Nashville, with a re-
Iuest to publish the same.

Death of Miss Daisy Brown.

Miss Daisy Brown, second daugh-
ter of Gov. and Mrs. John G.
Brown, died at their residence in
Pulaski last Monday at 1890 p. M,
of consumption, in the 18th year
of her age. A few months ago news
came from Georgetown, Md, where
Miss Daisy was attending school,
that her health was failing and i'm
mediately she was brought home
and carefully nursed back to better
strength. A few weeks ago she
was we'll enough to undertake
visit to Murfreesboro, but directly
her disease began to assume rapid
aad menacing encroachment and
she was brought home, where disease
gradually and surely made havoc
with the once strong and elastic
constitu ton.
Resisting the skill of medical ex-
perts, in defiance Of all curative APP
planes and tenderest nursing,
needless OF the piteOus beseechings
of breaking. bleeding hearts to
spare the fair youthful flower, death
came in his most relentless form.
How unfathomable are Gods provi
dences! In the bright heyday of
beautiful young womanhood, with a
happy disposition and surrounded
by all the material appliances to
make life joyous, having almost
completed the amplest preparation
for a useful life, Miss Daisy is call
ed from the bright scenes of life to
tread alone the dreadful chambers
of death. Although the heart re-
coils and cannot see the reason for
such an apparently cruel stroke,
yet when it is over and it is realized |
that the beautiful spirit is living
with angels, it reaches our appre |
heDsion that this was done perhaps |
to draw father and mother and sis
ters and brother closer to God |
and to duty. God pIties and
loves all his creatures and we may
rest assured these sacrifices will not
be in vain. If words of sincerest
could soften the anguish
Of. the hearts that are torn and
bleeding, their grief hal been as
suaged ere this.
The remains were inferred at Ma
olewOod Tuesday afternoon, with
at the residence by Rt.
Bev. Bishop Quintard.
The following pall-bearers were
of Gen. Browns original
company in 1861:

the county court room, President
4. O. Alternately in the chair, with
some Is farmers present. On mo
ton it was ordered to dispense
with calling the roll. Th e-commit-
tee on ffuit show asked to have the
secretary added to their list and to
report in September. The subject
for discussion, The preparation OF
the soil for wheat crop" was opened
by an essay rcad by D. A. Nc
knight. He held that thorough
preparation of soil is all important.
Capt. j. Z. Alternately followed.
He said he had made % bushels on
thin land put in With double shovel
and had made light crop on fine
clover land well put in, and has
made Is bushels sOwn on Christ
mas.
Mr.. d. 5. Martin thought 1t took
80 bushels To be a paying crop.
Capt. J. f. Alternately thought a
crop of 10 bushels would pay.
w. ). Rhea said it cost $3.50 to
nut an acre of wheat on the market
and that Bushels he regarded as
covering actual expense of raising
a wheat crop and the residue over
z bushels would be profit. He
made Is bushels on fine clover
land. Sown Goth of September
well put in.
DIR. T. B. Harwell thought
there was 40 crop as badly used
as the wheat crop.
1t was sown on most exhausted
land and expected to make n crol
and make the land rich, and abused
roundly because it did not make {

our labOrs:
We have made q thorough examina-

OF two; those two being % the guard
ianship bond OF w. j. Samuel and ~ |
the bond as constable of w. A. Shores, |
the constable of the 1lth district. |
These two are defective. We examined |
the county almshouse and found the |

These latter are neat and clean.
We examined the county Jail and found
it in neat, clean condition and we
could find no complaint among the
prisoners either as to treatment or food.
Our return of bills into your honor's
