Grew Up with the Country.

Calling at Maj. A. NJ. Foute's on Tues
day morning we were lucky to meet
Mrs. Charlotte Sylar, who will be-
years old on her next birthday. She sits
more erect than the girls of the present
time, and we found her making quilt
of little scraps not so large as half dol
lar in silver. The fino thread and needle
would have tried our own eyes, which
are somewhat younger than hers, but
she seemed to experience no difficulty.
She has quilt made and quilt ed with
her own hands that contains over 20, 900
little pieces about the size of o nickel.
In response to an inquiry she told us
she was a native Of Jefferson county,
Tennessee, and born in the last century.
She and her husband moved 10
this (CherOkee) county in 1888,
and settled in Cassville when the
town was in the unbroken forest. ifsuch
an explanation is proper to designate
what was not there, until some years
afterward. A pole cabin had been
erected as temple of justice, otherwise
a courthouse. And Mr.. Sylar's family
and Mr.. Isaac Anderson's family (the
latter the grandfather OF Mrs. Foute)
lodged in the cabin until they were able
to build a double log house for them
selves, That double log cabin was after
ward moved TO build Latimer's hotel, a
famous hostelry before the war. The
Indians were thick in this country at
that time, and the new settlers
bought fodder and eonnahany from
them, and they also procured
"greeus" and such like from their
seen the growth Of the country,
therefore, from tho very beginning, so
TO speak. She has two children, Mrs.
Catherine Word, of our city, and 3 son
Ia Utah territory. Mr.. Sylar died ia
1871. He had also a history. When the
"gold fever" broke out in California, a
large crowd went from Georgia to eX-
plore aud try their luck on the Pacific
slope He was one OF the party. They
sailed from Charleston TO Aspinwall,
crossing the isthmus, and took passage
on an English brig at Panama TO reach
California, for be it remembered there
was no railroad TO California until 20
years afterward. The journey WAS
Sylar reached Cassville IN safety
again. He had good property,
comfortable homo and surroundings
until the war desolated this country and
the inysder's torch laid old Cassville In
ashes. lie died in 1871, and to use Mrs.
Sylar's words, che was not sick un'o
death with disease, he was 'spiri-
crushed with the ruin all about him."
AS we watched the nimble fingers of
this aged lady and listened to her remi-
niscences of the past, we decided that
while the sterner sex have more physi-
cal str0nghth, more muscle, and per-
haps moro brain, it is TACT that womes
have more physical and mental courage
to bear atllction, pain and disaster, Mrs.
Sylar's health IL good, her industry is
wonderful, and she bids fair to reach
her Tooth birthday without an accident.

IT is seldom the HERALD has cause OF
complaint against Texas paper, but
the unjustifiable course OF the Hesper-

lence. The HERALD, in abiding to
Mr.. CLEvELSND's deliberation in max
ing appointments for Texas, lightly re-
marked that 1t only knew the presi-

that they "were all sGuare-out old

made after mentioning GEN. RosEN-
GRAMS probable nomination for the

show that the words were dictated by
an envious spirit on the part of one Of
the proprietors. The Times has boon
guilty Of very filthy trick, and just
where or how its malice originated the

TIE HERALD notices two country
papers publishing the same ridiculous
statement to the effect that the city OF
Dallas has lost $4,000 by the failure of
ADAMS & LEONARD, and that tax of
10 cents on the dollar has been ordered
by the council additional to that already
levied. The county treasurer will be
liable with his bondsmen for the
amount, and it wouldlbe as absurd in
the council to levy a tax on over seven
millions of dollars at tho rate above
mentioned as it was in the two papers
to publish such nonsense.

THE Cleburne Times, always willing
to fling at Dallas or the HERALD,
also asserts that Dallas county
has levied tax Of 10 cents
ON the dollar TO meet the alleged
loss sustained by reason of the failure
Of ADAMS & LEONARD. The silly canard
needs no refutation or denial; but the
HERALD cannot refrain from saying
when Cleburne levies tax to pay her
water-works coupons her papers would
be in better condition to discuss the
finances Of other places.

Commercial convention took up the
silver question, this morning, on a res.

the country required the continuation of

Fully one-half of the southern delegates
voted in the negative. A noticeable
vote was that Of the Louisville delegat o

Postmaster General Villas denies that he

clerks, as stated in Chicago. He says there
need be no apprehension of a strike among
the railway mail employees 1t was possible
that few clerks who felt that from their in

service, had endeavored to effect combina-
ton among the older and more efficient men,
but they had failed in their attempt. The
ofhciai postal guide for May contains notice
over the signature of the postmaster general
mat encient and honest railway clerks who
have not turned their attention toward politi-
cal service during their labors, need have no

them, were made because of ineficiency: be-
cause they were not good clerks; because
they were what is known in the service as
dead-wood. very limited percentage have

IL is not unlikely that many clerks who were
