OBITUARY,

On Aug. 23rd, at twelve O'Clock
little Omar, son of Esq. William and
Hettie Wood, fell asleep in Jesus al
his home in the Sinking Fork neigh.
borhood. His body now lies in the
grave but his spirit has taken its
flight to that glorious home where
the living live forever. May his dear
mother and father bear III mind that
sorrow in this life intensifies Joy in
the life to come, and that these afflic-
tions work out for aus a far more ex-
ceeding and eternal weight of glory.
And may the children left to mourn
a brothers loss, find comfort it Gods
promises that they may consecrate
their lives wholly to the service of
him whose cause he loved so well, and
at last meet HIM where sickness, sor-
row, pain and death are felt and fear
ed no more, is the prayer of one who
loves and sympathizes with the be-
reaved parents.
Dearest little Omar thou hast left us
Here thy loss we deeply feel
But It's God who hath bereft us
lie can all our sorrows heal.
Baby's left the cradle for the golden shore,
Over silyery waters he has flown,
lie has gone to join the angels peace forever
more
Empty is the cradle, Omar is gone.

The New Postal Cards,

The new design will at once be &C.
copied as an improvement upon that
now in use. 1t consists of one piece of
engraving instead of two pieces, as on
the present card. A head of Jeffer-
son, miniature portrait after the
original in the state department, oc-
cupies a central place on the upper
third of the card. Over this head, in
light letters, are the words, "United
States" In panels, supported by
scroll work at the left and right, are
the words "postal card" in distinct
letters. Under the head are words
lone cent" and beneath the border
line inclosing the designation of val
ue is the line: Nothing but the adj
dress to be on this side" The de-
sign is graceful and light, and its ad-
vantage over the old one is that the
idea of putting the stamp off at one
side and the designation of the arti-
Gle at the opposite side is abandoned
to secure an exclusive design with
the strongest feature of it in the GEN.

A DANGEROUS NAN.
Without an Enemy, PeaceabIe, Yet
a Holy Terror to Everybody.


The most peaceable and dangerous
man in all this United States lives in
Murray county, Georgia. lie is kind
hearted, good tempered, never had a
quarrel in his life, wouldn't hurt Il
fly, and everybody is afraid of him.
About year ago he was cutting
wood when the ak flew off handle
and killed a man who had come to
pay him $50. He never got cent of
the money. The next week while
ferrying friend across river, he
ran the boat against a snag and his
friend was drowned. About month
later he felled a tree OH a stranger
who was lying asleep in the woods,
killing him instantly. Not long after
he shot at wild turkey aud killed
neighbor whom he didn't know at
all. Three weeks after he lighted
kerosene lamp, when it suddenly ex-
plodcd, burning to-death a colporteur
10 whom theinollensive Georgian had
courteously extended the hospitality
of his home. All this mans friends
run when they see him coming. He
is himself afraid to extend any kind
nesses save TO his enemies, of whom
he has none. Ills last public act was
to cross the street with a ladder on
his shoulder last Fourth of July,
while the procession was passing, and
when some one shouted to him TO
"hurry on" he obligingly turned
around and started back. The pro-
cession was laid out and the day was
spoiled.

|he Knot and the Mile.

The "knop and the mile are terms
often used interchangea bly,, but erro.
neously so. The fact that mile is
less than 81 per cent of knot. Three
and one-half miles are equal, within
very small fraction, to three knots.
The knot is G0S2 66 feet in length.
The statute mile is $3.50 feet. The
result in difference is that speed in
miles per hour is always considerably
larger than when stated in knots.
and If a person forgets this and States
a speed at so many knots, when il
was really so many miles, he may be
giving figures verglng on the incredi-
BILE. When we hear person say that
such a vessel is capable of making 20
knots per hour, we usually take the
statement with a very large grain of
salt, for 20 knots is 2304 miles per
hour; speed which vessels have
made, and 1t is doubted by some who
have the best opportunity for making
actual measurements, whether any
vessels has ever made % miles in 60 |
minutes. 1t has been SAID that some |
of the English torpedo boats have
made as high as "a or 25 knots. |
Twenty-four knots are over 27l6 |
miles per hour and 25 knots are up. |
ward of 2S1S miles an hour, distances |
hat are incredible.

HEMINa, TENN.
Mr.. EDITOR;

Mr.. EDITOR:
Being former resident of the
grand old Commonwealth, the recol-
lections of which bring to my mind
the most pleasant remembrances, and
holding Christian county with her
many attractions, as the centre
around which gathered the affections
of my heart, l venture to trust that
this article will escape the waste
basket.
Leaving the "City of Rocks" and
the classic halls of our University, l
started West to spend summer va
cation, selecting the quiet spot of the
Mi'sssippi valley generally termed
West Tennessee. This region COM
prises the low lands included between
the Tennessee and Mississippi river,
and geographically considered it is a
valley covered with trees, small
streams and ravines. There are
picturesque sceneries among which
are beautiful villages and towns.
The point from which l write is
situated in the alluvial plains of the
Mississippi and Hatchy. Although
cultivation ofthe soil has been carried
on for years, still great forests remain
consisting Of elms, tall Expresses, oaks,
and sycamores entwincd by vines.
Near the Mississippi Yer srs cane
thickets containing bears, deers and
other animals.
The streams TEEN with fish. A
greater exhibition of the wearing,
solvent and conveying power of
water cannot be found than here,
there being none Of the rocky surfaces
that are seen in the silurian beds of
Middle Tennessee and Kentucky.
From a salutary standpoint, this
region is nota very desirable location.
The dense atmosphere ladened with
mist from theMississippi renders chills
and fever, the constant terror of the
Inhabitants. Another prolific cause
of sickness is found in the water
which, springing from stoneless soil,
is charged with quantity of earth
and sand.
The population of this county
(Lauderdale) consists of white and
colored in the proportion of about
two thirds of the former to one third
of the latter.
The staple product is cotton, anlis
the prll @ lis of scientific agritutule
are either not understood or ignored,
the soil is fast losing its fertility,
This one product is produced year
after year OH the same land which
very soon absorbs the essential con.
stituents of the soil.
During the last few weeks politics
has been the all absorbing topic of
conversation in consequence of the
approaching election. Everybody
talks politics as though voting and
office holding were the only things
to live for. The election passed off
quietly as the county is largely DEM
ocratic. The error of the colored
voters seems TO consist in that they
look forward 10 the election as the
grand objective point towards which
they are TO lend all their energy,
paying little or no regard to the fact
that it is only means to an end.
They assume too much and do not
take the precantion to inform them
selves in regard to what is best for
them to do.
Education is in a backward con-
dition among white and colored.
The school system is defective giving
only two or three months free schools.
Surrounded by scholastic disadvan-
tages, it is only the hero who will
attain any high degree of scholarship.
Very Respectfully,
E. w. BENTON.
