IN MenIOriGn.

Died, May LIST, at Rock Island, Mrs.
Mary Lou Moore, wife of w. A.
Moore and daughter of Joseph and
Caroline Miller, in the Goth year of
her age.
Twas Il sore trial to her bereaved
husband and parents; heart rending
to loving sisters and friends; a sad
loss to her darling little babe, who so
early in life is deprived of the fond
blessings of a mothers love.
During all her sickness and suffer
ing she seemed cheerful and resigned,
bearing her cross faithfully TO the end.
The coming of the last trial seemed
to have cast its shadow before, for she
told her weeping friends to cover her
with flowers when dead and bury her
where she had played as a child at
school.
Her last moments were spent in re-
questing her loved ones and friends
to meet her in that blissful land
where separation is never known.
What a sweet consolation to feel
that Lou is not dead, but sleeping
not lost, but gone before to await
their coming.
"Weep not for her, in her spring.time she
flew
To that land where the wings of the soul are
unfurled,
And now, like star beyond evenings colo
dew
Looks radiantly down on the tears of THU
world"
HER OLD TEACHER.

Municipal Election

Our municipal election last Satur-
day was an intensely quiet affair,
and thrillingly devoid of interest.
There was but one ticket in the

dred other voters expressed their
satisfaction with the ticket by allow
ing it to be elected without opposi-

DIBRELL.

Dibrell, Tenn, May 10, 1SS9-After
the long drought we have had fine
rains, wetting the ground thoroughly,
raising vegetation of every descrip-
ton, and making glad the hearts of
all.
Last Sunday was a beautiful day
indeed, and very large concourse of
people attended Bildad.
S. M. Gibson was here on Monday,
Robt. Potter on Tuesday, and we
can't say who will be along Wednes-
day, but we are looking for B. Wa
terman soon.
Master Byron Parker shot himself
in the hand last week with a small

Trade and traffic has been unusu-

rather bad.
We wish again to call the especial
attention of the people of this entire
community to the Importance of
erecting commodious house for a
high school at this place. Our old
school house is very much delapida-
ted, and is insufficient for the wants
and demands of the community. Let
every one consider this matter and at
once conclude that they ought to do
something for an enterprise of this
kind. Our children must be educa-
ted, and we can do this at home so
much cheaper than abroad, that every
one who is interested on this subject
should be enthused at the very idea
of having an opportunity of doing
such a work.
Capt. John w. TOwles and wife go

 His Condition Hopeless-A Consulta-
 sion Yesterday-Expected to Survive
 bus . short Time.
 The condition of General s. R. Smith, for- msrly for years commandant of the Connec- ticut National Guard, is such that his death at any hour is expected, while his recovery is hopeless. General Smith about year ago began to fail in health, but continued at his business at Watson & Co.'S, bankers, ,Bridge- when his condition began to be alarming He has been confined to his house on Brad- ley street, next beyond Hon. N. D. Sperry's residence, for the last five or six weeks. Yes- terday his attending physician, Dr. 0. Purdy Lindsley, his father, Dr. O. A. Lindsley, and Dr. Francis Bacon were in consultation over vertige of hope. The patient is suffering with organic disease of the brain. He lies in e comatose state, unable to converse or to dis tinguiah friends. His brothers, Joseph R. Smith of New York, formerly treasurer of Yale National bank, this city ,and Charles 0. Smith, a merchant of Philadelphia, are with him. His physicians thought he could last but day or two at the longest.
 The news of his condition caused deep sadpess and regret among the generals very large list of warm personal friends, both in this city and elsewhere. Business reverses and the death of his estimable wife year or two ago, undermined his health and are ac- counted among the causes which lead to the breaking down of his health. His career in military circles in this city and State is well known to our older citizens. While he was colonel of the Second regiment the regiment won renown never eclipsed or equalled before or since. Under him it made its famous trip to New York and New Jersey, and its still time of the second inauguration of General Grant as President, when the regiment was specially reviewed by General Grant. As commandant of the O. N. G. General Smiths administration was one of marked success. Admiral Foots post at its meeting Satur- day night passed resolutions concerning the | illness of General s. R. Smith.

The oc- casion was the monthly special musical ser. vice by the choir, assisted by MT. Courtney, the famous New York tenor singer and in- structor. He sang most beautifully the solos in the "Magni6cat" and anthems. His sing ing of "Great is Jehovah, ," by Shubert, ac- companied by the choir, was very fine, but in the selections from the "Messiah" he wac heard to the best advantage. Comfort Ye' and "Every Valley" were given in a match. less manner, such as is but rarely heard.
 The choir of men and boys added to theil previous reputation by their excellent per. formance of the anthems, especially "And the Glory of the Lord, ," which was as steady and sustained as an oratorio society.

 At present there is not much talk on the campus concerning the dual league. All seem to hold the opinion that it is not the proper time now for Yale to withdraw after e defeat. The public would regard the with- drawal as case of sour grapes and, although dual league were very desirable, rather than be misuuderstood by the public, Yale will remain. in the league and wipe out the defeat of this year. Moreover, the Harvard Crimson admits in its columns during the last year, that Harvard's action in the past has not been above reproaeh. The Crimson
 
 her position in the league has been forced to call upon her graduates or upon outsiders foI support. Now it cannot be denied that Harvard has done this in the past 50 much to her discredit. But to day she stands in all sincerity for purity in athletics, and oc- cupying this ground she is willing to admit that she cannot in justice to her position compete with such team as that presented by Princeton this year." The Yale commit- tee has not yet been appointed by President Yeomans, and nothing definite can be said about the dual league until the committees l meet. The outlook is, however, that the association will remain as it is, but that stricter rules will be passed, and if such rules cannot be passed then dual league | will be formed.

Entertainmenss.

OTTO HEGNEk TONIGHT.
 Otto Hegner, the little lad who has created SO great sensation both in Europe and in America, is booked for one concert here, to be given this evening at the Hyperion Thea ter. A fair estimate of the opinions formed of his playing is obtained from a notice by L. O. Bison, the famous musical critic of the Boston Advertiser: "There was a certain calmness and deliberation in some parts of the work, notably in the second movement, which showed that the boy was playing rather by the light of intelligence than by the fire of passion; but that was very natural, and did not deprive the performance of it's charm. Chopins "Berceuse" was played by HeRner in an absolute artistic manner, and so was the polonaise that followed 1t, al- though in the latter one felt that if the pianist had possessed greater muscular power he would have used 1t. The boy is an artist by the grace of God,' that is svi. dent, and his charm does not grow less by repeated performances"
 GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
 The Rose Hill English Folly company will be the attraction at the Grand Opera House the first three days of this week with mati- nee on Wednesday. The celebrated comedi- ans Rice and Barton are the managers. The curtain rises on "The Ruby of the Desert" :" Marie Rostelle directing the ceremonies. In the fascinating burlesque "Parisian Revels or Cupids Capers" Miss Marie Rostelle and Miss Veds Mansfield appear. Miss Rostelle's singing and Miss Mansfeld's dancing are fes- lures seldom if ever equalled.
 THE sToDDARD LECTURES. On Thursday evening Mr. Stoddard will give the first of his two lectures upon Napo- leon. The lecture is a grand one, and is ren- dered in Mr. StoddArds best and happiest style.
 PRIMROSE & WEST MINsTRELs. There will be no performance at Prootor'a tonight and tomorrow evening, but on Wednesday Primrose & Vests monarch minstrels will hold the boards afternoon and evening. All the members of the troupe are artists. The singing in the opening part ia remarkably good. George Primrose gives dancing.
