ED. SOUTH KENTUoKIAN:
Please allow us space in your pa
per TO state few facts, concerning
the arrangements of the Executiv,
Committee. We could always here
tofore agree, but in this we are as
tonished, and we say that the Repub.
lican party has heretofore been the
one in our judgment, and we will
say to the gentlemen of the Commit.
tee,i I'm your selections do not announce
gentlemen to suit yourselves only,
but try and name candidates that
you think will suit the public, for
fear of a disaster in your selection.
Gentlemen we do not ask you to
nominate any colored candidates at
all, because the nominations of
Alex. Thompson and Wyatt Watt
were not sustained and they were
beat. We have no objection what
ever to our color, but we do say, try
to select some good white Republi-
cans that you think.will bring back
the judge and jailer to their former
condition. Now is the time, gentle
men, to fight, for the hawks are out
and the birds are scattered. 1t is in
your hands to make good selections.

Mr.. VIM. Scudders, a citizen Of
Christian county, came to town on
last Monday morning, accompanied
by a very handsome young lady, and
demanded of our County Clerk, Mr.
John G. Jefferson, license to marry
Miss Alice B. Marques, his fair com.
panion. But our astute County
Clerk supposing that there was some
opposition, from the appearance
ofthe applicants, demanded witness
es OF the age of the young lady.
Whereupon, the groom was not long
in introducing two reliable gentle
men, who testified that they knew
the young lady to be one and twenty.
This satisfied the demands of the law
and the Clerk issued the much need
ed papers, and Miss Marques was
made Mrs. Scudders, and Mr.. Scud-
ders made happy, by Esq. Thomas
Jefferson. The couple had not left
town before an irate brother came,
accompanied by some cousins, with
the view and the purpose of interpos-
ing an objection-on what ground

fore another and a greater genius, if
a story coming from Raleigh, N, c.,

Sturdivantby name, has received a
Divine call. The account says:
ale was stricken with blindness
Wednesday, as he alleged God had
told him he would be. At 5 o'clock
yesterday (FriGay) just at the time he
named, his sight was restored. The
teacher from the Deaf, Dumb and
Blind Institute aid physicians of the
neighborhood say the boy was cer-
tainly totally blind during the period
from Wednesday at 10 o'clock A. NJ, to
yesterday afternoon at 5, and in their
presence and that of about $50 peo-
Pile sight was restored. All day YES
terday the boy was led about the
house. just before 5 o'clock he took
a position in front of the fire in a
large room. Punctually at 5
o'clock the boy raised his
head, lowered it, raised it again, and
cried aloud, Il can see.' The people
were greatly excited. He walked
through the house shaking hands
with nearly all those present. The
boy is l6 years of age, weighs 140
pounds, and is very strong"
Since them he has been preaching
to immense crowds and with great
effect. The conversion of the greatest
of the Apostles was something after
the manner of this. Has a ST. John

A DANGEROUS ROAD.
A Serious Smash-up on the
I. A. & T.
[Clarksyille Chronicle. inn. % |

|
An accident occurred on the I. A
u L. Railroad this morning at II
o'clock, about six miles from the CITY
at Wilson's Spring, Trestle No. H.
AS the passenger train, coming into
town, approached the trestlc, the ten
der which was in front of the engine
was derailed about ten or fifteen feet
from the trestle. The wheels of the
tender striking the cross-ties of the
track, pushed them IN front of it, and
the engine and tender fell through on
the cap of the trestlc bench, knock
ing 1t out of place and letting the
whole down ten or fifteen feet to the
ground.
The passenger coach was saved by
the coupling-link being broken, and
remained securely on the track be-
hind the wreck.
Mr. H. Abshire, the engineer, stood
nobly to his post, reversing his engine
and doing everything possible to pre-
vent disaster. He went down with
the engine but fortunately came off
with slight injury. He received a
severe blow in the side and his right
leg somewhat scalded.
Munroe eily,col., fireman, jumped
from the engine and received a Sc
we're cut on the head.
The following is a list of the pas
sengers aboard the train at the time
the accident occurred: Capt. Thomas
llerndon, il Allensworth, G.B.
Faxon, Faxon Thomas, DR.. j. II. Felts
and II. E. Justice, of Cheatham coun-
ty, Tenn, w. II. McCauley, and
about a half dozen colored men, names
unknown. None of the passengers
were hurt but all badly scared.
The passengers express themselves
under many obligations to Conductor
Charley Maner for his kind treatment
Of them. lie refunded all their fares
aud hired a conveyance to bring them
10 town.
The brakeman on the passenger
coach, whose name we failed to learn,
stood bravely at his post and prompt
y adjusted the brakes, which proba-
ply prevented the car from being
'recipitated into the broken tresle.
The cab of the engine was lady
mashed-up and the running board
demolished. 1t is other
wise unhurt. The tender was not
Iamaged to any great extent.
1t will be several days before the
wreck is cleared away and the train
nut to running again.

OBITUARY.

Died January 18th, 1886, at II
o'clock A. NJ, of diphtheria, Mabel
Earl Ritter, infant daughter of Chas.
l.. and Edmonia Ritter, aged s years
and 3 months. The death angel has
gathered the last tender flower, the
last golden sheaf from this home,
such harvest of death, Jimmie,
Claude and Eddie had just passed TO
the home beyond, their sunny faces
just paled, their happy voices just
hushcd, the patter of their feet just
stilled, when the death angel came
for baby Mabel. What anguish to
the hearts Of father and mother, and
yet 1t is amid such awful trials as
theirs that God moves the hearts of
others in sympathy toward the be-
reaved. Christian souls open and
give aplacc to souls thus bowed down
with such weight of sorrow, and
the injunction divine "bear We one
anothers burdens" finds lis blessed
fulfillment in tenders of loving kind
ness, yet no earthly balm can cure
sch wounds in parents hearts, no
earthly hands can fill the empty arms,
no earthly voice can give Lack the
sounds of voices Low silent forever,
and the bereft heart yearns unsatis-
fled for the absent darlings, and the
eager hands of mother in the silent
watches of night will reach out to
miss the precious form that was wont
to nestle In her bosom, so this change
full, tickle life of ours bears from us
ere we grasp them the fondest hopes
and dearest treasures on which the |
love is set. "There's nothing on earth |
that will stay, the roses die with the |
year." yet amid such griefs the bless.
ed fact remains that anguish and be-
reavements are as fleeing as are our
Joys. The end will come of griefs
like these, "life beyond" awaits us
10 compensate for all the woe of this.
It is not the will of your Father in
Heaven that one of these little ones
should perish "For Of such is the
Of Heaven Then take
fond parents, "Cast thy bur-
len on the Lord and ne will sustain
hee." Pass under the rod close,
lose to Christ, put your hands of
aith in His mighty hand of love and
'e lead the journey through and then
AT the beautiful gate they'll be wait
ng and watching for you.'
A FRIEND.

Extract From Evansville Courier

"Our reporter called on DR.. Sher-
man, at the ST. George Hotel, and
found the Doctors Office filled with
patients, eargerly awaiting to consult
him. Through the kindness of Mr..
b. NJ. Ross, his business representa-
tive, we obtained short interview
with the Doctor. lie is a Virginian
by birth, and bears the looks of a
hard student, who has devoted his
lifetime to his profession. His man
ner of reception and address is that
characteristic of a highly polished
and educated gentleman. The Doc
tor is man fifty years of age, and is
a perfect picture Of health. We pe-
rused few letters of endorsement
which the Doctor had in his possess
sion from some of the most promi-
nent physicians and surgeons, also at
Vorheys, Judges OF courts, congress
men, members of legislatures, sena-
tors, county clerks and hundreds of
prominent business men throughout
the country who speak highly of him
as an honorable and upright profess
sional gentleman worthy the conf
dence of all who may form his ac-
quaintance, or who may seek his adj
vice. Noticing quite number wait
ing to consult the Doctor, and not
wanting 10 impose on good nature,
wishing the doctorthe success which
he richly deserves, we bid him adieu.
The doctor leaves Evansville Mon
day morning to fill engagements else
where.
