Last Friday VIM. Kyllberg, who has
been sick at the county hospital a year
with consumption, died His body was
kept until Saturday for advice from his
brothers, two Of whom are employed on
ranches in this vicinity. One of them
came bui refused to pay the burial ex-
penscs of his brother, and told Mr.. vii
seek, the county hospital steward, that his
brother desired to be buried as a pauper.
The brother was to hay overturned on Sun
day morning to take a last look at the
deceased, but didn't come, and the man
was buried by the county. MIR. Wilseck
says that he has since learned that the
brother who was here earns good wages
and has several hundred dollars deposited
in bank. The affair didn't seem to
be any of his. funeral, however, and so
the matter rests, and so does the brother

Very truly,
Signed 5. II. CALIAWAY.
Believing in your y%eracity and your
honor as a gentleman, we never again in
terfered with coal miners grievances.
until we saw you championing the cause
of the Chinese against the white man.
Whether you were aware of the state of
things at Rock Springs prior to the out
break there We do not know, but there is
one thing we do know, and that is that
both Beckwith, Quinn 4 Co. and d. O.
Clark were apprised of the grievances that
existed, and instead of then trying to re-
dress the same they added to them. Per
init us to state that we abhor the action
taken by these outraged miners as much
as anyone. And had we not been mis-
lead by your correspondence with US in
connection with the miners we would have
laid their grievances before you, which we
believe has been kept from you. As to
the cause hat led to the introduction of
the Chinese labor on the Union Pacific
system, we have no desire to discuss it.
There is one fact we do wish to state, and
that j. this, that the company can get all
the labor they require from citizens of this
country. Whatever excuse the company
had for the introduction of This element
into civilization, there is no excuse for the
retention Of the same. We would fur
Their state that the course you have
taken in this case is not likely to
beset in your employees that feeling
which we hayc so earnestly tried to in
splre them with in regard to your sense Of
Justice. We have been willing at all times
to meet you or any OF your subordinates,
aud talk over any grievances THAT had
arisen between us and the company, and
why you should now threaten us with
such things as soldiers we are at a loss to
know. We are law abiding citizens and
we intend to remain so until our rights
and liberties are jeopardized. Then the
first law Of nature will guide us.
Further, We think you have abused the
confidence reposed in you. 1t is some;
thing very unusual for an employer Of
labor to give to the public press the pri-
vate correspondence of his employees.
We would further state that We did not
make any demand in our letter. We
sent in a request believing as we do that
it was as much to the benefit of the com
pany as to their employees. Respectfully

Medical Spring In Davies County.
A Chalybeate spring on A. II. divers
farm, three miles from lelvington,
near Chestnut Grove Baptist church. is
said to be the greatest medicine ever
used for consumption. Rev. w. II.
Dawson has used it in his family and
considers it the best he ever used.
VIM. Duncan, of Illinois, who 1t was
thought was in the last stage of con-
sumption, used the water about three
months, and returned home apparently
sound. DIR. Russell, OF Yelvington,
sent Taylor Cosby, one of his patients
who was thought to be most dying of
consumption, and in less than one
month he was running a threshing
machine. This seems too wonderful to
credit, yet the facts can be established
by citizens of our own county. Why
should we not have watering place at
home, when water of so excellent a
quality is plentiful Let the invalids
of the city and county test the virtue
of this water. fit is at home, it is the
more valuable to this sectiOn.-Ken-

In Memoriam.

DIED-Near Cromwell, on the 9th of
April, 1855, of puerperal fever, Mrs.
Sarah f. Plummer, wife of G. n. Plum.
mer, and daughter Of w. H. and N. A.
Taylor.
Deceased was born November Odd,
1853, professed religion In her I4th year
and joined the c. p. Church, In which
she lived a faithful member until her
death. She was joined in wedlock to
g. n. Plummer, October ID, 1884. A
few short months since she left her
home in the bloom OF youth, the very
picture of health and womanhood, with
the one to whom she had given her
first love. No doubt away down in the
tender Tecesses of her heart she felt
deep sorrow at leaving the old home
stead, where the happy days of her
youth had been spent. But this was al
leviated by the perfect trust she re /.
posed In the manly one she had chosen
for her future companion and protector.
Sarah was an obedient and affectionate
daughter, an apt and attentive pupil
faithful in her friendships and forgiving
of heart. Relying upon that Saviour
to whom she had yielded her heart In
early youth, she lived faithful to that
compact for eternity. To the parents
We extend our sympathy most sincere,
for we know they are sorely bereaved.
But let their grief be ever so bitter, II is
not as of those who have no hope, for
they know In whom they have believ-
ed, and with them 1t is only a question
Of time when they, too, will Join the
throng that is constantly leaving the
sOrrowful shores Of time. But what q
glorious meeting for them 1t will be on
that other shore, to which their loved
ones have preceded them. o what
joys await the faithful followers of the
meek and lowly one, in that they shall
zee Him and all those who are dear to
them by parental and kindred ties! To
her husband We extend our sympathy
In this his day of trial. We know that
he Is now walking in gloom-that
hardly ray Of cheerfulness penetrates
the Stygian darkness Of his sorrow, and
he feels as though his life is hardly
worth living. But, oh, my friend, go
cast your cares on Jesus; he will make
your burden easy to be borne. May
her brothers, sisters and friends be pre-,
pared when the last day shall come to
enter into that perfect rest prepared for
those who faithfully serve their Maker,
Redeemer and Friend. H.

SEVERAL days ago the President
concluded to appoint Capt. Jane.
Blackburn, brother TO Senator Black
burn, to the place of Internal Reven-
ne Collector for the Seventh Ken
lucky District. Since then the
President was informed of letter
that Capt. Blackburn had written
during the first of the war, expressing
in unqualified, hot-headed terms his
deadly hatred of the Union men in
Kentucky, his desire TO murder them
and 10 swim his steed in their blood,
or go to hell if he failed in his
inordinately sanguinary hopes.
The President and the Cabinet held
a conference and decided unanimous
ly it would be an unwise step to con-
firm Capt Blackburn's appointment,
and in consequence the President
changed his mind, and will offer the
position TO some one else. Whether
it is fair and right to count old scores
against a man, is a mooted point in
public opinion, but it is evident that
the Administration, with the present
phase of popular feeling, cannot af-
ford to favor any person who has
talked so recklessly, violently and with
such meaning, as Capt. Blackburn
has done. Here is the offensive let
ter:

ments in the way Of enjoying life in
Texas. Her government is all that one
can ask, such school system does not
exist elsewhere, her advantages to
young physicians offered are better
than can he found anywhere.
The short crops Of cotton and corn for
the last two years, and the great loss of
cattle during the past winter has made
times dull, business slow and mercan-
tile failures plenty. Thirty-five per
cent. of the cattle in Texas died during
the last winter, and in some cases
seventy-five per cent. This Is from the
State statistics and can be relied on.
Money Is being loaned at three per cent.
per month with good security. Taking a
general survey of this grand old States
aspects. we can hut say she is a proud
old State, and beyond all doubt the
coming country. Her Resources as an
agricultural State are unequaled, her
energy for wealth, for education and
for the development Of all the charsc-
teristics that are necessary to the full
growth and satisfaction of q rapid civ>
ilization are unquestionable. And yet
we would not dare to persuade one to
move here, for the fact that the great
est end to be attained In life Is content
ment, and II friend is content with
his lot then We see no reason why he
should try the uncertainties of a differ
ent people and y different cline.
We make our exit from this State
through her gate, Denison, through the
beautiful Indian Territory, Kansas and
along the rugged Missouri river to the
Chicago Of the West, which is st. LOUIS,
thence to the rugged but God favored
land OF Kentucky. Rugged i'm appear.
ance, but surprising in q thousand es.
sential points any other State we have
ever visited. Where the water runs
clear, and vice is condemned, and vir-
tue Is praised, where the enjoyment of
present life is our chief end, where
genuine domesticity prevails in every
home, where we can enjoy the fruits of
our labors amid the acclamations and
joys Of friends and thus fulfil the
mission for which we we've created
not as rowing, discontinued, confused
people, but as quiet, peaceful and
God-serving humanity.
Respectfully,
w. MAY.

OUR ROAD LAW.

All taxation should be equitable,
as nearly as possible. The property
of the country should be required
to bear the burden Of the public ex-
pense.
Each citizen should contribute his
or her prordtd, according TO value of
property owned, toward defraying
public expenses. The present road
law is very unjust and discriminate
ing. Poor men under certain age
are required to give their labor to-
ward keeping the roads in repair,
which benefits them but little, while
men over a certain age, rich in this
worlds goods and largely interested
in having good roads, pay not n cent
to keep them in repair.
Labor is money and to tax a mans
labor is same rs cash.
Boys under age are required to
work the road, which is taxation
without representation.
Another inequality is: That some
overseers with few hands have long
sections of roads over rough country
to keep in order, requiring eight or
ten days labor-a year, while Others
with many hands have shorter sec
tions over level lands, requiring only
three or four days per annum TO keep
in shape. These inequalities and
thi. injustice should be remedied.
We call the attention of our Legisla-
tive and Senatorial aspirants to the
matter and will add that we never have
had, and probably never will have
good roads under the present system,
and bad roads are the heaviest tax
that can be levied upon a communi-
