when the couple entered the room pro-
ceeded by Miss Retta Smith of Jonesboro

DEATH OF
MISS FANNIE ID. ELLIS.


After four months of lingering disease
death came as q happy release to Miss
Fannie Ellis, daughter of Samuel B. Ell
lis, Esq, of the 18th district, on the
morning Of the 3D. instant, and her dis
embodied and redeemed spirit took its
flight to the realms where hope ends in
fruition and where sickness and pain arc
unknown.
1t was very fitting that n so young,
so gentle and so pure should pass away,
amid the blooming flowers and exhaling
odors of the early spring.
Her resting place is fitting one, where
natures choisters will sing her requiem,
and the sweet wild flowers will bloom as
emblems of the purity and beauty of her
young life.
At the time of her death she was in her
seventeenth year, having been born Feb.
7th, 1870. She is we'll remembered in
Jonesboro as q student in the Graded
School, during part of the fall and winter
of 1SS4-5. During this time she boarded
with the family of Mr.. j. A. FEBRUARY.
Nature had put upon her character the
stamp of gen tleness and kindness, and
modesty and maidenly reserve.
To this was added the ornament of the
Christian graces, for she was a tru'
Christian.
She was loved and is now mourned by
all who knew her. The memory of he
bright and beautiful life will long live t
cheer and encourage.
At her iuncralj there was gathered
very large concourse from all the %countr.
around and all were anxious to pay som'
tribute to the worth and goodness of hel
character.
The sympathy of this entire communi
ty is with the bereaved and stricken par

PETTIBONE.

May May day was celebrated by the
Republicans of this district at the usual
voting place. The primary passed off with
unusual quiteness and harmony in the
ranks, which augurs well for q united
vote in August.
Each voter has a perfect right TO ex-
press his choice and these rights which a
man enjoys under the great constitution
should not be questioned by those who
see from a different standpoint.
Great discretion should be exercised by
our delegates Saturday to vote the senti.
ments, as far as they can, of those who
placed this responsibility upon them and
as soon as their best judgment may die.
tate poll for the strongest man that the
business Of the convention be not blocked
by a stubborn zeal for some ones partic-
ular candidate.
Business continues dull and still the
people cry out against the scarcity of
money. This need not be so. There is
money in the country and if men who
hold it could place proper confidence in
those who are in need there would be
more in circulation. 1t is the loose way
of doing business that has brought the
panic with increased vehemence upor
The heads of the just and the unjust.
We need a banking system to teach u
a lesson of promptness, when nothing
more is concerned in 1t than the paying

With Sad Results.

A Gun Supposed to BE Empty Toes ou
with Sad Results.
On Sunday last one Of those distressing
accidents which have become so frequent
of late years through the car eless hand
ling of fire arms, occurred at the house
of Mr.. John Shepherd about a half mile
from Carrville in this county. About
eight o'clock in the morning Of the day
named above, while Mr.. and Mrs. Shep-
herd were out attending to the milking,
VIM. Taylor and his half brother Rufus
Buckingham, aged respectively 16 and
1s years were standing at the front door
Of the house, when Taylor took down a
shot gun which hung just above the door
and, supposing it to be empty, pointed it
at Buckingham's face. Buckingham
said "Quit that" and Taylor answered,
II won't do it; the gun is not loaded"
Just as he said this the gun was discharg-
ed and the load took effect in Bucking-
hams face, tearing away the roof OF his
mouth and the end Of his tongue. His
lips were terribly lacerated, the upper
one being split up to the base of his nose.
Rufus fell and his brother Immediately
ran for assistance, on the arrival of which
everything was done to alleviate his suf.
ferings that could be. The boy at last
a%ccounts was In n critical condition hut
perfectly rational though unable to speak
a word. The gun it was afterwards
found was loaded with two rifle balls and
and four slugs and the wonder is that il
did not kill him outright. There had
been no quarrel and the shooting wa:
purely accidental.
