Sudden Death of the Wife of Judge
Gardenhire.
Nashville American.

Nashville American.
Sparta, Tenn. July 29.-Mrs. Mary
Gardenhire, wife of Judge f. l.. Gar
denhire, of Carthage, died very sud-
denly yesterday morning about s
O'Clock at the residence of her son-in-
law, Mr.. J. T. Quarles, of this place.
She has been in feeble health for some
months, and was on visit to her
daughters, her friends hoping that
her health would be improved by her
temporary change of residence. Al
though under little depression for q
day or two, she was not considered in
a dangerous condition, being able to
walk about the house. Her daughter,
Mrs. Quarles, was attracted by some
sounds of distress from her mother,
and, hastensng to the bed on which
she had been resting, found her in a
dying condition. The almost imme-
diate arrival of others was too late to
be Of any avail--Mrs. Gardenhire
was dead. tWa., .Hs |..
Her husband, Judge Gardenhire,
arrived this morning, having travelled
nearly all night. The shock and
fatigue have been too much for the
old man. He is perfectly Frustrated
and was not able to witness the burial
at the cemetery this afternoon. Mrs.
Gardenhire was about 50 years of age.
She died as she had lived, a Christian.
Her children, all estimable citizens
of their communities, are Mrs. j. T.
Quarles and Mrs. Mark Clark, of this
place; Mrs. John McMillen, Celina;
Mrs. VIM. CullOm and Mr.. j. H.
Gardenhire, Carthage; j. A. Garden
hire and Mrs. j. T. GOOdbar, Lone
Oak, Ark, all of whom, except the
last two, were present at the funeral
to-day. The community sympathize
with them in their bereavement
The many friends of Judge Garden
hire extend to him their sincere
sympathy in this his great affiiction

INJURIOUS TO DRIED
FRUIT.

One of the reasons given as the
cause of the decrease in the demand
for evaporated apples, is the use of
too much sulphur in bleaching. In
order to make the fruit very bright
and fair, it is subjected to the fumes
of burning sulphur. The sulphur
When used in excess Injuries the quail
ity Of the fruit and depreciates its
value. In evapOrating for family
use we will this season use no sui
phur. The fruit of course will be
darker, but Of more natural flavor
and healthier. A small amount of
sulphur would make the apple
brighter, with not much if any injury
to the fruit, but unless used sparingly
and with care we would prefer fruit
for out own use evapOrated with no
sulphur.
These suggestions are intended to
correct the error of excessive use of
sulphur, which Injuries the quality
and sale Of fruit. Those who expect
to dry much fruit will find it will pay
to evaporate. At no time has we'll
handledevapOrated apples been worth
less than double that of sun dried.
The difference in the price of the two
would soon pay the cost of the evapo-
rator. With the evaporator the dry
ing can 60 on in all sorts of weather
and until late at night when thework
is pressing. All kinds of fruits are
more valuable when well evaporated.

The Registration BIZ.

The pending bill to provide for the reg
istratien of electors throughout the
State Is an improvement on the bill that
was introduced into regular session OF
the present Legislature, but it is by no
means certain that it will prove TO be sat
isfactory If it becomes law. The chief
objection TO it is that 1t makes the Nota-
ries Public and ex-ofiicio Justices OF the
Peace OF the militia districts the registra-
ton officers.
There are very excellent reasons why
Justices of the Peace should have nothing
to do with registration. There are, It is
true, very good men among them, but, as
rule, they are local politicians, and
some OF them might be induced to favor
this or that candidate in their registra-
ton work. 1t can be readily seen how
they could do this. There il vast mum.
Der OF ignorant voters, and 1t would not
be difficult matter, without violating
tho letter az the law, to secure the regis
tration or those known to be favorable TO
apartieuiaF candidate, while means might
be employed to keep those known to be
unfayorable from registering.
OF course, we do not mean To say that
there are Justices Of the Peace who
would abuse the trust and confidence
reposed in them; but only that, having a
good deal TO do with politics, and being
brought into very close relations with
many OF the lowest class OF voters, there
might be temptations TO use the power
placed In their hands by the registration
law TO advance the interests OF their
friends.
1t would be a much wiser plan TO have
the work OF registration performed by men
who have no connection with any Office,
and who are not active political workers.
IL would not be difficult 70 get such mon.
One or more, perhaps, could be easily
iound In each militia district. We feel
pretty we'll satisfied that the Justice of
the Peace plan viii not work well in the
cities. Those who would become regis-
trars by the provisions Of the bill would
not have the time 10 give 70 registration
work that proper discharge Of the
Registrars duties would demand, and.
besides, they would be open 10 the obiec.
ton that we have already pointed out.
There ought 10 be only one registrar
for each county. One would give much
better satisfaction than the number for
which the bill provides, because he would
do the work for less, and would do it much
more systematically and intelligently,

An Unsonght Omce.

II Is noticed as q somewhat remarkable
fact that there does not seem to be any
applicant for the Craftsmanship OF the
Civil Service Commission, made vacant
by the resignation Of Mr.. Dorman b. Ea-
ton.
Several very acceptable men have been
mentioned for the place, but they do not
want it and have requested their friends
not TO urge their appointment.
The place is not hard one TO ill, but
the occupant OF It is pretty certain 10 be
subjected to incessant aud, frequently,
TO harsh criticism.
The salary is small-only $3,000-and
there are very few men whom the Presi-
dent would like TO appoint who would
be apt TO accept the place. Those who
would do credit to the Office are able to
earn more money in some other way, and
those who wouldn't do credit TO IL the
President doesn't want.
There Is some talk TO the effect that
there is fear that the Democrats next
winter will refuse to make an appropria-
ton for the commission, but there 10 not
enough foundation for 1t to make IL worth
noticing. In view Of the expressions OF
the national convention, OF the Presi-
dent and OF various State conventions, in
favor Of the civil service law, the House
would not dare 10 nullify the law by re-
fusing the means 70 enforce Il. A good
man. doubtless, will be found t0 succeed.
Mr.. Eaton. Thore are plenty OF them in
the Democratic party who can be Induced
perhaps, TO make some sacrifices for the
good Of the party.

to the proprietor OF the shop, VINO, takingathe
penny, placed bag containing peRny roll

From the YOutkS Companion.
A gentleman who paid the best prices for
his provisions, and who liked to live RS well
as did his neighbors, was once deceived by his
poulterer in the age of some poultry he bought.
Meeting the dealer a few days afterward, he
walked up to his wagon and inquired:
"eiOt any geese to-dayP'
"Oh, yes" said the poulterer, ga fine lot.'
"How many have you gotS"
ga dozen-nice ones"
The customer turned them over, and then
he added:
snow, you see, I've got pesky lot OF fell
lows at my house, and they eat great deal of
poultry. Haven't you got any tough ones?'
well, yes" said the dealer, picking them
over; there's one. two, three, four, five OF
EN-"
as that all the tough ones you've got?"
Yes. yes, that's all" said the seller, sepa-
rating them.
Wen, then, reckon, on the WHOLE" con-
Guided the buyer, I'm take the other lot"
The pOulterer looked thoughtful, and, like
most thoughtful people, was silent.
