The New Representative From
Giles.

Mr.. Flournoy Rivers, democrat
has been elected to the legislature
from Giles county, to fill the unex-
pred term of Capt. j. K. p. Black
burn, resigned. Mr.. J. L. Pearcy,
another democrat, was his only OPP
ponent. The vote stood: Rivers,
$40; Pearcy, 449. After Gov. Bate
had ordered an election, a self-ap-
pointed committee held a four
hours secret session, refusing adj
mittance even to the press. DR.. T..
B. Harwell and Mr.. Rivers, the
then candidates, were summoned
before the committee to know if
they would abide it's action. DR..
Harwell was willing to abide it's &C
ton, but Mr.. Rivers said the COM
mittee had no authority and he did
not feel called upon to submit to its
decision. DR.. HarWell was chosen
by the committee as its candidate,
but he afterwards declined to RUIZ.
Mr.. Pearcy then announced and the
rssS s.iS was as above. Mr.. Rivers is
a young man about % years ofage,
a brilliant and independent thinker
and discreetly bold. He is a son
of the late VIM. Rivers. Mr.. Rivers
arrived in the city last night to en-
ter upon his duties.-Banner.

Two district temperance alliances
have been organized in this county
by Mr.. j. P. Rankin, secretary oil

ance.
On Sunday afternoon, May oath,
Mr.. Rankin visited the 10th dis
trict and organized at Blue creek
an alliance with % members-I7
males and IL females. Mr.. j. H.
Hamilton was made president and

urer. On last Sunday after address
ing 3 good congregation at Sharon,
G. P. church, in the Sth district, he

Hon, Flournov Rivers.


The smallest vote we remember
was polled last Saturday-1344.
Mr.. Rivers was elected by credita-
lie odds and is now in his seat in
the legislature. We predict bright
future for this young man. He
was born and raised seven miles
north of Pulaski. His mother was
daughter of the late Silas Flour
nOy, esq'r, and sister of Capt W
G. Flournoy. His father, Mr.. VIM.
Rivers, is well known as one of the
strongest headed men In the coup-
try. From both sides Mr.. Rivers in
herited brain and he has been dill
gent to cultivate it. He came to the
Pulaski bar year,orlso since and is
already in good practice. We like
to see a deserving young man go
up. He will serve US well if we
will permit him. Like all young
men of :ambition and high strung
purposes, he is impetuous and
sometimes indiscreet in utterance
His speech before the committee
lately is attributable to this and
was not the utteranee of his judy
ment, which is sound when cool.
Don't hold young man to the
strict letter of accountability that
you would an old politician who
has had years to get over indiscre.
tions. People will hear from this
man in the future.

Bunker Hill.

Tom McLaurine, cold, YVES in
stantly killed by lightning near DR..
Motifs last Tuesday eve, also the
horse he was riding. He had start
ed to the house, and, just as he rode
under a small ash tree, he and his
horse were killed.
Measles have been at work
again in our midst. The following
have been the sufferers this time
Mrs. Glaze. and five of her children,
Miss Mary and Theophilus Wells.
Mrs. Harris is not improving.
Thos. T. Harris Of Lincoln has
been visiting her for few days.
Willie Wells has lost two fine
colts,
Crops are looking we'll and so
does weeds and grass.
w. H. Dixon preached an ex-
cellent sermon last Sunday. He
showed that it was the duty of
christians to meet on the first day
of every week, to commemorate the
birth and death of their Saviour.
Miss Maud Holland has been
very sick, but we are glad to report
her much better, a.. +. Bass, one
of our merchants, is also sick with
measles.
We notice the editor calls at
tention to "R's' analysis of Sam
Jones, and does not endorse all of
it. How could you with the bible
before you2 Rs rules Of analysis
are certainly wrong, if Gods are
correct. Notice the difference.
"R." says Sam Jones "has passed
the limits of faith" that his pro-
gress in the divine life has reached
that point where faith is useless.
Gods analysis Of a christian has for
its first and last element faith.
Hear him, Heb. IL: 6: "Without
faith it is impossible to please
him." Again. 2 Cor. 3: z: "We
walk by faith" Rom. 1: IT: "The
Just live by faith" Paul tells
christians in the sixth chapter of
Ephesians and 18th verse "to put
on the whole armour of God in or
der that they may be able to stand
against the wiles of the de I'll. "
Now by reading the 18th verse of
same chapter, we find that faith is
a part of that armour. Paul after
years of hard fighting in the ranks
of Israel, and knowing that
he must soon lay this armour
down, says in his second letter to
Tim, 4th chapter, 7th verse: 81
have kept the faith.'F Mr.. Jones,
Mr.. R., or any other man that ex-
poets to pass through the gates
into the city, had better remain
within the limits of faith. The
devil is continually hanging around
on the outside of faith, and if we
don't want him to get US, we had
better keep off his territory. By
faith we become the children of
God, by faith we live the children
of God. by faith Nc :" = dc dc TIE sne children
of God. A man might as well say
because he has learned to read, that
he has no longer use for the first
letter in the alphabet. But the
most learned men on this globe
can't get along without a. Just so
with the christian; he never can ad
vance so far in the divine life as to
not need faith. 1t is the very foun-
datiOn of all happiness, and if the
foundation be removed, down comes
all of our hopes of life beyond the
grave. Z.

NOtice To Teachers.

The teachers of Giles county are
requested to meet at the court
house in Pulaski on Saturday the
18th inst, to organize a teachers
normal institute to commence June
10Th and continue two weeks.
The latter half of each week will
be given to the colored teachers.
The directors are also invited to
attend, for during the institute there
will be committee to select a Sc
ries of text books to be adopted in
the public schools of the county.
Believing it useless to argue the
necessity of holding an institute,
every teacher is expected to attend.

Il have nothing new to relate
this time, but l will gather up a
few items.
These warm rains are putin Q
farmers in the grass.
Bell d. Co. have started some
of their logs down the river from
Hamilton's mill to Prospect where
they expect to have them sawed in
to fine lumber.
The young ladies of our village
spent lovely day il the way of a
quilting at the residence of Mrs.
Bruce. John knows exactly how to
get on the right side of the girls. 1
hope he will give another good din
ner and invite Bugeater.
We have some very sad faces
in our village on account of Mr.. z.
R. Mcclure leaving for Texas a
few days ago. We hope he will not
make his stay long.
Our sacramento meeting will
be the first Sunday in June.
Our merchants, D. G. Sheriff.
& Co., sell more dry goods than
any two country stores in the coun-
ty, and they keep Ned Strain on
the route to Fayetteville or Pulaski,
ard he does not have much time to
sit in the shade and keep his burn
sides company.
Il wonder if our Bunker Hill
correspondent has gone to Texas, if
not would like to hear from him.

We find some Misrepresentation of
the CITIZENS article concerning the
committee meeting last week. We
did not question nor object to one
single act of the committee. We
did not say that it vas not rightly
constituted. We did not say it
had no authority to act. We did
not say it did not act wisely
and correctly. We said simply
that they ought to have let the CIR
IzEN man in SO that he could tell
the people what was done. That
was all. The CITIZEN had no man
nor measure before the committee
anu was not in the remOtest degree
interested further than to see and
hear what was done and print II I0 1r
the people to see. Brethren, we have
lived SO long among men who were
afraid to speak out on public ques-
tions that it looks like treason to
hear a man speak sentiments that
are not born of demagogy. Public
men and public committees ought
to be kept straight and when they
90 crooked submit to criticism.
The democratic committee is not
immaculate and ipfallible. Is it
sacrilege to tell them they erred
when all the world knows they
erred?

Killed By LIGHTNING.

A negro boy named Tom McLau
rine was killed by lightning on DR..
Moffitt's place near Bunker Hill
last Tuesday week. He was riding
IN from the field when the lightning
struck him in the back of his head
burning off the hair, baking his
shoulders, breaking his neck and
passing on down the leg leaving a
streak. The horse was also killed
and another negro riding little in
advance was slightly shocked. An
other stroke from the same cloud
killed a calf near MI. Marion Bass,
three miles from DR.. Moffitt's S.
