Little John and lydia Jones.

1t was a heart Sickening sight
when the charred bodies of little
John and Lydia Jones were taken
from the Goals and embers OF their
fathers burned residence on the
morning of Feb. 5, 1885. Joseph
Jones and his wife Tennie arose at
their usual hour and went about
their usual morning business, leav-
ing their sweet little son and daugh-
ter-their only children-asleep.
While Mr.. Jones was feeding
his stock, he discovered his house
on fire, and when he reached it the
fire was in the room where their
children were sleeping, and it was
impossible TO save them. AS the
good mother put her little darlings
TO bed the over night no doubt she
asked God to take care of them, but
before the morning sun was up
God took them to himself. Yes, he
is taking care of little John and
Lydia. They live in a country
where there are no house burnIngs,
no pains, no tears. Their little bod
ies-forms and features ali gone
were lain in the cemetery at Mount
Carmel, but in the last day God
will bring them up as beautiful and
lovely as if they had never been
burned. They were sweet and loev-
ly while on earth, but they are far
more sweet and lovely liz heaven.

It does not pay to grow wheat in
the north west. Notwithstanding
the land produces immoderately
and the railroads haul it at nominal
rates, it is still raised at q loss.
The hundreds of thousands of peo-
pie who have settled up there are in
a bad way. They'gave land mort
cages in advance and the failure to
realize profit on wheat leaves them
in debt. The turning of the tide &c
the south is inevitable.

rowly averted Tuesday morning be-
fore day. Mr.. j. L. Pearcy had
been sitting up with Dir. D. G. Car
ter and was returning home in the
morning, and going down the hill
under the CITIZEN office he discov-
cred fire at the back door of Mr..
Curtis store in the livery stable
block. He quickly gave the alarm
and it was extinguished. 1t burn
ed up the floor of the porch and was
creeping closely to the door and in
few minutes would have had the
whole back end of the house afame.
1t is thought it caught from Goals in
an ashpan set out the night before.
What narrow escape for us! Here
We are with the prettiest business
houses Of any town in Tennessee,
the admiration of all visitors
costly and imposing-and not the
least means imaginable to put out
fire. If Mr.. Pearcy had not seen it
in time it is probable that enough
would have been lost to pay for wa
ter works twice. 1t is only a ques-
ton of a short time when we shall
be called upon to pay double DANA
ges for our penuriousness. This
is very unfortunate in another re-
spect: Our people will now prob
ably drop the free school matter
and go back TO talking water works
again. Free schools killed water
works and now it may be reversed.
How foolish we Pulaskians are.
