DECATUR, ALA, Nov. 1, 1888.
Mr.. Polk G. johnson, GAINESVILLE,
Tenn:
DEAR SIR:-Your esteemed favor
of date, Oct. 10Th, enclosing check on
New York for $3.50 and directed to
Frank A. Howard, has been re-
ceived. Your letter informs us that
the above amount was raised by your
little daughter eight years of age, for
the benefit of yellow fever sufferers.
What can we say to express our
gratitude, but God bless the little
lady and the generous people whom
she represents!
She gives evidence at this early
age of possessing the greatest of
human virtues, gentle charity.
We trust in after years it may be
the dominant factor in her character,
and may her deeds of goodness be
always received with as much sincere
gratitude as this, perhaps her first act
of public charity,
You may judge of our sincerity,
when you learn that there are six (6)
new cases reported to day; our pro
visions are almost exhausted, and
our liabilities tar exceed the little
amount of money we have on hand.
This beautiful weather so cheering
to the outside world, can only fill us
with gloom, for we know not what
to expect of the future. Distressed
as we are, we feel perhaps more
gratefully the kindness of others.
Owing to the sickness of all, and
death of some of our officers, your
letter has remained unanswered this
long. 4-
Thanking you personally for your
kindness, -.
/ am very truly yours,
O. KYLE.
Secretary Citizens Relief Associ-
ton.

FIRE TO-DAY.
The Finest Courthouse In Tennessee In
Danger Of Destruction. i


The CHRONICLES big roaming
news nose was poking Its way through
the Courthouse of Montgomery
county at $50 clock this morning,
when the preceptible smell Of smoke,
such as made by shavings and paper,
attracted its attention. An immedi-
ate investigation was made, and in a
few moments an alarm was sent to
the Deluge Fire Company, The fire
was found to have originated in the
basement room at the south east cor
ner of the ourt-house, where the
ashes of the building are dumped,
and lot of excelsior, paper and rags
had become igni ed from a hot pack
age that had been thrown there.
OF course the fire was put out in
very short order, and the call for
help was apparently unnecessary,
but there was indeed a calamity in
store for the county, had not the dis
covery of the existence of the fire
been made so quickly.

LOCKS AND BOLTS.

There are many strange notions con-
nected with the exit of the soul from the
body at death. One is, and it is said
still to obtain in this as well as in other
countries, that the departure of life is
delayed so long as any locks or bolts in
the house are fastened.
This is common superstition in
France and Germany, and is also found
among the Chinese, who make hole in
the roof to let out the soul. In Holland,
when child is dying, persons shade it
from the parents gaze with their hands
to hide the sympathetic glance, which is
supposed to detain the soul.
Every one knows how common the Su-
perstition regarding nurses in connec-
tlon with death has been, as perhaps it
still is. There was the "death- watch"
THE solemn death-watch clicks the
hour of death" Then the bowling of
dogs at night has long been believed in
Another omen of death is the hover
ing of birds around a house and their
tapping against window pane; while
still another is the growing Of a cock at
midnight.
Indeed the superstitions on the sub
ject have been endless, and, if this be in
reality an age of scepticism, and much
doubt exists in our minds as to the real
ity which we can neither touch, taste
nor handle, there is some comfort in
thinking that we have at least come to
disbelieve, among other things, in much
that is ridiculous and miSchievous.
