Sudden Death.

Mr.. John Duncan, who lived about
one mile southwest of town, was haul
ing seed cotton to Spellings & Co.'s
gin last Tuesday, apparently in good
health. Late in the evening he un-
loaded his wagon rapidly, racing
against three in another wagon, and
finishing ahead of them. He then
leaned over from the wagon bed to
hitch the traces of his team, after
which he fell back and died without
speaking, and breathing only three or
four times. He was dead before as
sistance could reach him. At is said
that he had suffered slightly with
heart disease heretofore, and it is
thought that the over-exertion of him
self at work caused the fatal attack.
He leaves heart broken widow and
one little daughter to mourn his sud-
den taking IF. He was I man of
steady habits and good character and
brother,iu,law Of Mr.. Frank Gil
bert.

Back from Texas.

Five or six families, who moved
from this neighborhood to Hill county,
Texas, some months ago, returned
here last week, glad to get back.
Among them were the families of
VIM. Rundles and Mr.. Mcfarland.
The names of the others we did not
learn. They say they got tired Of the
black waxy mud and bad water, and
came back home to get good drink.
We hear that many other families
have returned to the western part of
this county, and that many others
would come hack if they were able.
Tennessee is the best state yet, and a
short experience elsewhere generally
convinces the skeptical of that fact.

While cotton is selling very low
everywhere, the planter should not
forget that everything he eats and
wears is just as cheap. A pound of
cotton will buy more pork now than
it did one year ago, and other things
in proportion. Milan merchants sell
goods cheaper than those of any town
we know Of, and planters even who
sell their cotton in. other, towns will
save money by coming to Milan to
purchase their supplies. You can
take the proceeds of one bale of cotton
and rig up goOd-sized family with
handsome clothing, and have money
left.

The President and DIR. Bart1ett.s
Church.

Washington Special to the Baltimore Sun.
There has been considerable gossip about
President Cleveland's preferences as TO what
church he will attend during his residence in
Washington, and there have been some unkind
cuts at the New York Avenue Presbyterian
church REV. DIR. Bartlett because 1t was sup
posed that extraordinary efforts were being
made to get him to go there to pray. Inquiry
among leading members of the church develops
the fact that the intimation that DR.. Bartlett
has been engaged in efforts to build up an aris-
tocratc congregation on the strength of Pres-
dent Cleveland possible acceptance of pew is
not at all well founded. When DR.. Bartlett en-
tered upon the passionate every pew in the body
of the church was occupied, and there has not
been a day in years when sitting could be had
for money unless by accident 1t is not likely
the President can obtain pew there until
some portion of the congregation shall have
migrated to the next colony OF this popular
church. or some special arrangement Is made
for his accommodation. In point of fact, all the
pews in the church have been rented since 1851,
when Rev. DR.. Gurley was pastor. After his
death, under the paStorate ofRev. DIR. ]. r. Pax
ton, now of New York city, 1t was found neces-
sary, by reason of the steady growth, to erect
galleries in the church, and the pews furnished
by this improvement were rapidly taken after
dence of his talent in his pulpit ministrations
The unkind reports doubtless originated from
the fact that there is a warm personal friend
ship between DR.. Bartlett and Rev. Mr.. Cleve-
land, the Presidents brother. In this matter
as in most other things, it is believed that pres-
dent Cleveland will consult his own preferences
and cOnyentenceS,
