Voices of Memory and Hope.

Mobile Register.
In a few days Jefferson Davis will
again stand on Capitol hill, and again
will an eager crowd surround him.
But his duty now is different, 1t is
to honor those who fell in the cause
Of the south, not to assume control of
its destinies. And those who listen
to him will have no scenes of con-
flict, no dire distressto fear asa people
or q community. For around on
every side are evidences Of prosperi-
ty, of industry, and of energy, and
the voice of memory will be none the
less impressive when it sounds on the
ears of a people with whom hope is
alive.

Another week of toll and labor has
passed, and we are now greeted with
as lovely weather as ever dame ma
ture gives at this season. We are also
glad to announce that the farming
class are taking advantage of such OPP
portunities in the way of gardening,
planting corn, etc.
Somesickness in the way ofmeasles.
DR.. Parker'sfamily, j. r. Sparkman's'
family, and Others have had them in
a very mild form. Others have been
sick with fever and cold, and such
ailments as are commonin most COM
munities at this season of the year.
Joe Mullican and Vestal Goodson
have been seriously sick, but are now
upon rising ground. We learn also
that Rev. Isaac Denton stillcontinues
to improve. Old man Steven Gourd
and wife, who are quite advanced in
age have been very feeble for some
days, and no doubt deserve the SYM
pathy of kind hearts and the help of
strong hands.
Elder f. c. Preston preached to an
attentive audience Sunday and Sun
day night, with two additions to the
congregation. We always enjoy such
meetings.
Mr.. Evan Webb and wife, of Nc
Minnville, were in attendance at Mt.
Zion Sunday.
Messrs. B. f. and G. w. Womack
are back from Nashville this week
and occasionally get an order for a
tirst-class saddle and harness horse.
What fine thing if some of us had
some of that kind to dispose of. We
need the money bad enough. and
such flesh brings good prices most al
ways.
Our old friend, John Poss, from
Pine Creek, passed today loaded with
ware and meal enroute for McMinn-
vile. We don't remember of seeing
him in a long time before. He was
here serving the wicked one, but now
says he was a hard master, and offer
ed no reward except eternal punish
ment. Hence upon mature and can
did reflection, he decided to serve
the Master, who had a sure reward to
offer, and never fails to bestow to such
as love, serve and keep his command
ments. Let others go and do like
wise.
Apple blooms seem to be plentiful
enough to insure plenty of fruit for
home use. No peach blooms in this

delicious variety they will have to
look to other quarters.

Admiral Whitthorne.

Washington Republican
As we must have democrat to fill
out Judge Jackson's term as senator
from Tennessee, there is consolation
in the fact that the governor Of that
state has selected a man who has a
thorough knowledge of congressional
affairs. Col. Whitthorne, the new
senator, does not need special train
ing and education. He is equipped
for immediate work in the senate.
He ought to be appointed to serve
upon the committee on naval affairs
but whether Or not he shall be so des-
ignated, he is ready with the oldest
members to act intelligently upon the
most important subject that is to
come up in the senate during the re-
mainder ofthepresent seSsion--namc-
ly, the rehabilitation of the navy.
As an active member and chairman
of the committee on naval affairs of
the house of representatives, Col.
Whitthorne devoted years of deep
study to that branch of the public
service, and he knows the needs
thereof.

THE SUPREME COURT.

The sentiment for a clean sweep of
the Supreme Bench of Tennessee is
finding very general expression
from the press of the State. The pres
ent Supreme Judges, with perhaps
the exception of Judge Cooper, are a
lot of superanuated old fossils who
ought to be retired to thequiet shades
of private life. If they have not ac-
cumulated sufficient filthy lucre to
live on the balance of their days the
State can better afford to pay them
pensions than to clog the wheels of
the Supreme Court with them for
eight more years. With overa thou
sand cases on the docket, it is folly to
place a lot Of men on the bench with
only vitality enough in them for
from three to FIVE hours work a day.
1t is worse than folly to make the
Supreme bench simply soft couch
for a few Anticipated legal lights to
snooze away life's twilight shades
upon. 1t is mistaken idea that
gray hairs, bald headand spectacles
are necessary to make a man eligible
for Supreme Judge. The State needs
young, energetic, vigorous men on
the bench; men who will give their
full time and capacities to the duties
of their position, and who will make
their services to the State common
surate with their salaries. The State
has plenty of such young men, and
the Democratic judicial convention
which meets in Juneshould make up
its ticket from their number.

no signs of abatement. Trains on all

is most violent in Southern Dakota

snow has already fallen than during
the entire season last winter. The
wind is blowing heavy gale from the
north and drifting the snow very
badly. Trains on nearly all roads are
abandoned. The temperature is at
zero and still falling. There is also a
strong electric disturbance. At other
points in the State the storm is no les.
severe than here"

DIR. Mary o. Brown, II resident of
ThurstOn county since early in the sos,
died at her home on Wcstside, Tues
day morning, after Il short illness, aged
80 years. She leaves a husband, and
large family all of whom are grown
and settled in life. Mrs. Brown was Il
woman of more than ordinary intel
lectual endOwments, and a Jealous adj
vocate of many of the modern meas
urcs OF reform. She was for MANY
years engaged in the water-cure,"
practice of healing disease, and a firm
advocate Of equality of race and sex
before the law. She wilded a tren-
chant pen, and many of her essays
have aided very materially in shaping
popular sentiment towards wOman's
enfranchisement. The funeral SER
vices were held on Westside, at noon
to-day.
1t is with pleasure that we are en-
abled to announce that the Olympia
and Chehalis Valley Railroad Com
pany have been successful in their en-
beavers to obtain the money required
for the extension of their road. A
mortgage was filed for record with the
County Auditor yesterday, which Sc
cures loan of 100000 to the COM
pany at six per cent. per annum, to be
used i'll constructing and extending
said road, in purchasing equipments
and in acquiring coal and other valu-
able lands and developing the same.
The loan is obtained from VIM. Alvord
OF San Francisco, and Henry B. Laid
law, of New York, the terms being the
issue of bonds by the company bear
ing six per cent interest, running
20 years and secured by the aforesaid
mortgage. This action of the COM
pany means business, and we will soon
begin to realize some of the benefits of
the renewed activity which this move
presages.

trict, which has been in dispute, gives
an equal number of Representatives,
while the success of R. 7. Hawley,
Republican, in the Sixth Council dis
trict, claimed hitherto for Alexander.
Democrat, reduces the claimed major
