Grief has come into the household,
Sorrow laid its heavy hand
On our hope and joy and gladness,
On the promise of the land
Tears are bitter, tears are many
Grandpa's pants will not fit Benny
What is hope, but disappointment
In gaudy, thin disguise
Is there aught in earnest effort
FIVE fail to win the pri2e2
Tears are bitter, tears are many
Grandpa's pants will not iii Benny
We had hoped and hoped so fondly,
With a sweet and tender trust
That the past might clothe the present
Ashes, all our hopes, and dust

band, proved her "help-meet" in
deed and in truth.
His tears bedew Christians grave
And devoted wife's dust,
But star shines FER her tomb
That bids him ever trust.
For many years she was a member
of the Primitive Baptist Church, I'M
til called to join the church triumph
ant. Mere forms in religious mat
tiers, affected her but little, but, with
out ostentation she loved and wor-
shipped God in deed and in truth,
with the most implicit and unwaver-
ing trust in His promises, leading her
to a cheerful conscientious discharge
of the duties of a Christian life.
While suffering several months,
she expressed hope of recovering
health, but said God knew best, and
calmly left all to his will.
She subscribed with her own hand,
the VOWS beginning the eth Pslam,
SO Lord my God, in Thee do | put
my trust" O what beautiful faith!
In that faith she lived, and acted,
and died.
In the cold silent grave the remains
of the loved one lie, and it is natural
that her friends grieve, but o! what
a great consolation to know that she
has gained the glorious post where
she will never more know sickness,
sorrow, pain nor death, but where
she will meet and know loved ones
gone before, who are waiting and
watching for her on Eden's fair
shore.
But o, how sad the world looks
A loved form is gene,
And our hearts with grief are riycn,
But it sootheS each wound to know
We have tie in Heaven
She will be sadly missed at home.
She has left an influence which will
long be felt. Happy the family bless
ed with such life.
May God bless her bereaved hus-
band and children, sisters, brothers,
relatives, and friends, and guide them
Alright, so that
When We cross over River
In green pastures swectly fair
Clothed in robes of snowy whitenesy
We shall meet dear Mamie there.

The Fire Fiend Again.

This friday morning at about
half past one O'Clock fire was discov-
cred in the brick building occupied
by Potter Bros, on Main Street.
The alarm was at once raised and ere
long the streets were th:onged with
people, who witnessed the most de-
structive fire that has ever yet visit
ed McMinnville. Willing hands
went to work unhesitatingly, as it
looked as if the whole of main street
was to be consumed.
The wind was blowing from the
west and the drug store of Ritchey
& Stroud seemed doomed to the
flames. In a little while, however,
the wind shifted to the east and the
flames swept rapidly towards the
square.
Careful watchmen were placed
upon the surrounding buildings
which were continually catching from
flying sparks.
The three buildings occupied by
Potter Bros, A. p. Seitz, and E.
Webb were completely destroyed,
but upon reaching the Potts block the
flames were checked in their mad
career.
The sheds in the yards ofthe Spoke
and Handle Works We're seen to be
in light blaze, but We're promptly
extinguished before any damage YVES
done.
Much credit is due Mr.. -- War
ner for his daring feats and presence
of mind, which saved several build
ings.
Losses on Stock: Potter Bros,
$1,000; Seitz, $500; i. Webb, $1,000.
Insurance on Stock: Potter Bros.
$1,000; Seitz, 81 800; Webb, 900.
Insurance on Buildings: Mason &
Mead, $1,000; Mrs White, $1,000.
Loss on building $4,000.
The above losses are approXimated.
The cause of the fire is unknown.
L. Webb saved about one-third of his
stock.
This disastrous fire which threaten.
ed the burning of all the business
part of the city will certainly impress
our city fathers with the necessity Of
making some provisions for fighting
the fiend.

Caroline Mason, commonly
known as the cOlored feline, is now
an inmate of the county Jail. The
way it came about is something like
this. One day in the latter part of
last week Caroline concluded that her
appetite was calling for chicken, and
as Fayette Martins roost contained
several nice fat hens, she very DELHI
erately proceeded to pick her choice
without money or without price, not
even asking for the loan of a hen.
After nicely dressing the chicken
Sunday morning it was consigned to
the pot and was soon boiling. At
about this time Martin stepped in and
claimed the chicken, of course he
couldn't get it, so he got an officer.
Caroline was arrested, and carrying
the pot of halfdone chicken, was taken
before Squire Black and soon after
the trial, was taken to her present
place of abode, to which she is very
much attached by means of several
iron bars.

The Campaign of 1888,

During this year there will be many
new and important features i'm the
field working of this party. There
are already some able advocates in
the field doing some very effective
work, and the leaders of the party
are now wanting at least 100 men
and another 100 ladies to represent
the good work. Any gentleman or
lady wishing to get first choice of ter
ritory should call at once and see the
manager Of the National Garment
Cutter, Mr.. II. w. Rumbley. He
intends to make change in his head
quarters soon, and if you want to
make money and have steady en-
ployment, you should go to him at
once and secure a contract for YOUR
territory. DO not delay or it will be
too late. This is the grandest oppor-
tunity ever offered to you, and don't
allow yourself to miss the golden OPP
portunity.
Call and see us at Meanwhile or

vile, Tennessee.

j. X. Doran, Esq, Chicago, Ill.,:
Dear Sir:-I have now been in the
Garment Cutter work over four years,
and must say that the business is
preferable to any other | have ever
known. OF course the larger part of
the four years / have been working
on a salary and subject to instructions,
and in that time have been sent to
ten different states. | have worked
from the Lakes to the Gulf and have
never yet Deen In country where i
could not make plenty of money
selling the Garment Cutter. No one
has had more favorable opportuni-
ties to observe the general plan of the
work as introduced by the Company,
or the reception ofthe work upon the
part of the people than have. There
is not an invention since the sewing
machine was perfected that in my
opinion, is needed by the masses OF
the people so much as the Cutter is,
and as an article, with which to make
money it surely can't be equaled. The
man that has money can organize the
work in such q way as to make
