Minor Hill.
There were IS joyous reoipi-
ents at the Liberty Hill christmas
tree. Mr.. j. f. Parker got q hogs
head on the tree, for which he is
truly grateful; he thinks the donor
ought to have retained the brains.
What change the temperance
agitation has wrought! Not drop
of liquor have / seen nor but one
drunken man during the festive
days. A young man attended IL
Sugar creek breakdowns and he
says not an angry word was heard.
Minor Hill is on boom-not
an empty house. E. w. Graves has
moved to the west corner of Flor
ence street and his stock of goods
to WarreE house; Noah Appleton
takes Graves place, and IRELAND
Woodland into the northeast corner
of LIST. Thos. Campbell rented 1st
street for jockey yard.
The writer and his chum made
visit to the 18th district last week
and enjoyed the hospitalties of our
many friends, especially that of
AR. Wesley Gibson and family,
whom we stayed with two nights.
We were invited to Mr.. Ihos. Simp-
sons residence to hear the Scots
Hill singing class, which met for
the sole purpose of singing the
praises of Him who gave US His on
ly son as a Christmas gift that we
through Him might obtain pass
port to that festival above. I'll
there is any music that would re-
mind US of the gift, either vocal or
instrumental, it is this class, for it
excelled any we ever heard. 1 will
take the responsibility to challenge |
any class in Giles to sing against
them.
IN. P. Howard and w. F. Beard |
have gone into the cattle business
and You may look out for good beef
in your city, especially dried.
W. R. Jones and Thos. Booth !
have each lost a fine mule, and ]. S.
Coffman has lost good horse. 1t
is supposed that the bots killed
them.
One Of our Hunters (Whit)
went out one night not long since
to bring in the game he had been
for some. time, but when he
got to where he thought he could
claim her as his own, and thinking
he had showed the skill Of a good
hunter, the second party came with
his conjuring glib and carried off
The game, and now it is said our
Hunter has gene into the Budde-
hatchie cave to live hermit.
Mrs. Rosa Boyd who is seventy
Dr. eighty years old is considered
dangerously sick with chronic di-
,eases.
Mrs. j. A. Warren is also very
sick. 4
II. ]. Campbell was summoned
% the bedside Of his mother who
ives near Prospect; we learn that
The is better.
Died, Dec. 80, little Mamie,
laughter of j. S. jackson. She ,
vas sick only few days and vas
JAILED away. Below we give an es-
ay written by Mrs. NJ. A. Howard ,
md read by Smith Howard over the !
emains of the departed one. We
lope it will be read and felt by
very reader of the CITIZEN for it
,omes home to every one Of us.
1--WE all will fade as leaf. Man
lieth and wasteth away. The glo-
y of man is like the flower Of the I
,rass. The grass withereth, the I
lower tadeth. All human great
less shall have an end; all earthly 7
hings shall pass away, yea Solo {
mons temple, the great globe it I
elf and all Of it's inhabitants, shall i
all and leave not wreck behind.
1ruly do the leaves, the fading and 9
alling leaves, remind US of the frail
y of humanity. The leaves that I
Tere so fresh and green few
months ago have faded and fallen /
o mother earth to continue their +
opeless vail as the fierce winds r
cater them hither and thither. q
they are fit emblems OF the signs T
nd groaRs which heave from the
'osom of the parents and friends of :
he departed rose bud. 1t seems 9
hat God paints the leaves in their !;
brightest and loveliest colcrs just :
'efore their departure, to remind !.
aGn of his beauty as he nears the :
right shore. Childhood upon the ,
nother's lap is as beautiful as the :
looming rose sparkling with the :
norning's dew. Youth too is full i.
f love and happiness, looking for
Yard with bright hopes, but then
ONES the winters blast and hope
alls fast. The angel hovers around Z
nd bids him come up higher to
lin who giVeth life. IT'S sad in
iced 10 those left behind, hut the !
arling flowers will bloom again in =
brighter world than this; they :
7ill only be waiting and watching
Or their dear loved ones behind. i
,hen dear little Mamie is another
right star TO lure you on across
be dark river of death and well
ome you through the pearly gates
nJo the eternal city above" IA
