The Missing Pronoun.

Nashville Banner.
The need of a pronoun of common
gender, third person, singular in the
English language has often been
mentioned, but, strangely enough, a
language which unceremoniously APP
propriates and assimilates any word
from any other language, or accepts
a multitude of new words coined in a
hap-hazard way, continues without
the needed pronoun. Many sugges-
tions of words have been made from
time to time to fill the aching void,
but the English.speaking people
stolidly persist in the involution OF
speech rendered necessary at times
by the deplorable absence of a much
missed monesyllable. The latest sug-
gestion for supplying this long-felt
want is that of Prof. Dozier, of
Georgia. He proposes the work "se''
as prOnOun OF common gender IN
the third person, which he would
decline as follows: Nominative,
"se;" possessive, isis" objective,
"sim." This is about as good sug-
gestion as any we have noticed, but
the difficulty consists in getting the
words adopted and generally used
We make an awkward sentence, fol
instance, when we say. Every
man or woman be he or she rich OF
poor, should content himself or her
self with the reasonable benefits &C
cruing to him or her from his or hel
honest labor" And yet, at first, W.
would lind Il hardly less awkward t.
say, EVERY man or woman, be sc
rich or poor should content sim
self with the reasonable benefits 80
cruing TO sim from sis honest labor.

Out of the Ashes.

1t is very encouraging to note the
promptness with which Messrs. E. G.
Mead & Co., are proceeding with
the rebuilding of the heading and
stave factory. None of the machines
are seriously damaged by the fire,
and can all be repaired at compare
lively light cost. The new factory
will be as near fire proof as can be
made. The boiler room will be
stone, and the main building will
have metal roof and sides, and will
be somewhat larger than the old one.
Orders have been placed for all
necessary pulleys and other repairs,
and work on the new buildings is
well under way. The factory will be
running again by the first of May, il
not earlier.

We have just received the largest
stock of dry goods ever opened in the
city. We bought early, because
goods are constantly advancing. We
bought at headquarters, because
goods can be bought cheaper there.
We bought more goods than usual,
because we believe the difference in
present and past prices will sell more.
We bought larger variety so we
could suit everybody. Ladies fur

quantities. Gents furnishing goods

If you should hear a pupil of the
City School using some rather queer
words with Kissing sound, dom
imagine "se" is tongue tied or any
thing of that kind. Every student
of this school is now trying to &C
custom "simself" to the use of tn,
new pronoun, and 1t makes isis" con
versatiOn sound a little peculiar a
first, but when you have heart
''sim" get it in appropriately a few

some advantages which the age hat
not caught up with in your schoo
days.

Death of Miss Birdie May Broyles.

The saddest event in the history of
Cumberland Female College occur
red on Tuesday morning last, in the
death Of the above named young
lady, a member of the Senior Glass.
In consequence of her sickness and
death the school has been suspended
during the entire week. The sorrow
and gloom cast over the school by the
sad occurrence is shared in by the
entire community.
The circumstances connected with
the event make it a peculiarly sad
one. She was placed in the school
while still little girl, not long after
the death of her mother. She came
to McMinnville in February, 1884,
having been brought here from Cali
fornia by her uncle, Mr.. w. N. Cam
eron, now Of Sparta, Tenn. During
all these years she has been recog-
nized as enc Of the brightest and best
I pupils of the school, and now in her
closing year she was one Of the con-
testants for the highest honOrs of her
class. But alas the brightest hopes
and most brilliant prospects are
blighted forever by deaths rude
hand.
In common with some Others Of the
school she contracted measles. This,
followed by an attack of pneumonia
resulted in her death. Everything
that the best medical skill, and the
kindest and most unwearied atten-
ton Of friends, pupils and teachers
could do was done, but all in vain.
Death had set his seal upon her brow,
and after few short days he claimed
her Tor his own.
The remains, encased in a beautiful
metallic casket, have been lying in
state in the main hall of the College,
where they have been visited by
hosts of her friends of the town and
community.
Her father is expected to arrive
from California today. after which
appropriate funeral services will be
held in the College chapel. The
final disposition of the remains will
not be determined upon until her
father arrives.
! The beautiful floral tributes now
adorning the casket were contributed
by teachers, schoolmates and other
friends, show the high esteem
and respect universally felt for the
dear departed one.
The deceased was a member of the
c. p. Church in this place. The
funeral service will be conducted by
DR.. G. T. Stainback, pastor of that
church, assisted by Rev. A. T. Craw.
ford OF the Methodist church.
, Thus closes a young life, bright
, beautiful, and full of promise for the
future. To earthly eyes the provi
dence is inscrutable, but the Judge
of all the earth doeth all things well
To His will we bow and in His hand'
g we leave the spirit of the dear depart
z. ed. We join with her many friends
