Died.

At the home OF her parents IN
Bolivar, Tenn, March IS, 1890,
Miss lone Hardaway departed this
life at the age of sixteen years, four
months and six days.
A young, buoyaat and affection
ate heart has ceased To beat. There
is vacancy in the homes and in
the hearts of the family from which
she was called by that weird sum-
mons that all must heed. Modest
and aft ctionate in disposition and
sober in thought, her ideas Of right
often evinced a degree of maturity
beyond her years. Loving life and
clinging to its pleasures and pros
poets, she yet surrendered ali with
complacency and faced death with
hercism. How unerring is the
stroke of archer death ! No rank
Is secure, no age exempt.
"LeIves have their time to fall,
And flowers to wither at the north wind s
breath;
And stars to set-but all,
Thou hast all seasons for thine own, o

At Spelling Sci. col.

We were sitting about the fire
in the h otel when the Story Teller
referring to a yarn published in 4
current paper as to the rough usage
of man who spelled down" a
Western country school, said, "That
reminds me of story" At this
OF course every one urged him to
tell his tale, and he said:
1t was away back in the early
seventies. 1 was then travelling for a
Boston school book concern, and
one night l brought up in a -four
ishing little town in Eastern Tenn =
essee. l had never been there be-
fore, but 1 soon made friends with
the landlord of the hotel, and when
| asked him as to possible means
ct amusements for the evening he
said: "Well, stranger, L can't say
as there's much going on, but you
might go TO the spelling school,
1t seemed that there was To he
a spelling match to be decided in the
town, and /, full of foolish conf
dence in my own ability, attended
and submitted to the process, not
thinking that there could possibly
be any feeling either between indI-
viduals as to the results.

Coed Advice in a Nutshell.

There are tour organs in the human body which
are vital in their AUCTIONS and delicate in their
structure, and which give us an immense amount
of trouble These are the Heart Stomach, Kid
news and liver. If thew give us trouble 1t is be-
cause we neglect or abuse them, and ef course we
organs are very numerous and often dangerous.
Luckily we now have a remedy which has proved
just the thing for this class of diseases 1t Pc

right at root of the whole trouble This preparation

The building IN which the con-
test occurred was tum BILE down
frame and log structure, the lines
of which outside suggested an i'm
minent danger of collapse. and with
in which great fire in the stack
chimney at the east end cast the
only light OH the bare benches save
that which WAS given from the two
candles burning upon The desk
OF the schnolmasttr, which was
mounted upon l1w and rough rost-
rum.
When | reached the building 1t
was reasonably filed. Great strap
ping youths in jeans or homespun
ofset-the girls many of them very
pretty in homespun and calico.
The only man in the building, my
self excepted, who woie a white
shirt and ''store cloihes," was the
lanky schooimaster, six feet and a
couple of inches tall at least, and rs
graceful as 10 months old calf.
Mind, / never knew how serious
a matter spelling down" is, aud
when they asked ME to go in l
went in, sure that there could be no
danger that any of the rdsic crowd
could spell me down. rhe WORK
began, and boys and glrls right and
lett sat down on words of three syI-
tables.
Soon there were only twenty of
the original forty contestants; then
only fifteen; then only ten, at last
only five. The words grew harder
and harder. 1 saw obvious signs OF
discomfort. The girls did not like
to be spelled down or the boys to
have the gIr's defeated. rhe words
grew still harder. One, two, three
of the five spoilers fell by the way
side, and at last only two of us
stood-the prettiest girl in the house
and l. At last the schoolmaster
called out to me "hippopotamus."
1t was as easy as falling from a log
until l felt hot breath at my ear,
and a voice Kissed: "Spell it with
one 'p,' mister. 'nless you wanter
get licked. That thar's my g'rl:
spell her down if you dare"
l spelled it with one "p" and sat
down.

PRIMARY elections are somethln

PRIMARY elections are something
new to the pe,ple of Hardeman
county. They have been accustom-
ed to a "iree for all race with the
briile off" Some are dissatisfied
with tie acton of the committee

The Executive Committee on
Monday last at a meeting held IN
this place, ordered that a primary
election be held on the first Satur-
day in May for the purpose of nom
mating candidates for the several
county offices. As county Offices
are nom political, and as party
lines in this county have never been
drawn before in such elections, we
would not have advocated the adop-
ton of such a measure unless demo-
Gratis were being opposed by the op
pOsite party. But the fat has gone
forth and it now devolves upon us
as democrats to wheel into line, at

The BULLETIN was opposed to
the democratic committee taking any
action in regard to the election OF
county officers; but, since a major
ity of that committee has seen fiji to
order a primary, we accept the Sit
uation and will do all in our power
10 elect the nominees of that primary.
The committee desired to do inJus-
tice to no aspirant, but looked
alone to the success OF the princi-
Piles Of the patty. We hope and
believe that the democrats through
out the county will stand by their
action and that full vote will be
polled. The democratic party is IN
the majority in this county and is
rightfully entitled to the offices, but
in order to accomplish this end we
must stand shoulder to shoulder.
A democrat who will allow a petty
jealousy to prevent him from vot-
ing for the nominee of the party is
very weakened.

SLOW WORK.
The COrinth Canal Begun by Nero to be

The COrinth Canal Begun by Nero to be
Finished in 1892.
One of the interesting canal enterprises
now on foot is that which is to connect the
Corinthian and Saronic CULTS of Greece.
The canal across the Isthmus of Corinth,
which is to render unnecessary the voyage
around the Peloponnesus, will be four
miles long-about the length of the Hoo
sac tunnel-but it will beat even that ia
nous work in the lapse of time between
its inception and completion. 1t was sug-
gested by Fernandez, one of the seven wise
men of Greece, nearly six hundred years
before Christ, again by Demetrius Pelio-
cretes in 800 B. c., and once more by Ju-
Illus Cesar in so B. c. 1t was actually be-
gun by Nero, who employed, among other
laborers, 5000 Jews whom Vespasian had
taken prisoners, and it is to be finished by
General Tuerr, Polish engineer, who was
In the Italian service with Garibaldi, and
who hopes to have it ready for use by
1892. He has carried on the work from
the point at which Nero left off, following
the latter's lines and making use of double
row, of thirty-two pits, some of them 100
feet deep, which had remained unchanged
for 1900 years, except that they had be-
come filled with debris. The excavation
now reaches from sea to sea, and is in some
places 225 feet deep. The canal is to be
over 70 feet wide at the top and 260 feet
in depth at the point where the isthmus is
highest.

Mans Best Friend.
First and foremost, woman is mans best
friend

First and foremost, woman is mans best
friend:
Because she is his mother.
Second, because she is his wife.
Because she is patient with him in i'll
ness, endures his fretfulness and mothers
him.
Because she will stick to him through
good and evil report, and always believe
in him, if she loves him.
Because without her he would be rude,
rough and ungodly.
Because she teaches him the value of
gentle words of kindly thought and of con-
sideration.
Because she can with him endure pain
quietly and meet joy gladly.
Because on her breast he lean shed tears
of repentance, and he is never reminded of
them afterwards.
Because when he is behaving like a
fretful boy-and we all do, you know, at
times-with no reason in the world for it,
woman's soft word, touch or glance will
make him ashamed of himself, as he ought
to be-
Because without her as an incentive he
would grow lazy; there would be no good
work done, there would be no noble books
written, there would be no beautiful pic
lures painted, there would be no divine
strains of melody.
Because she has made for us beautiful
world In which we should be proud to
live and contented to die.
Because-and this is the best reason of
all-when the world has reached an unen-
viable state of wickedness, the blessed task
of bringing it savior for all mankind was
given to woman, which was Gods way
of setting his seal of approval on her who
is mother, wife, daughter and sweetheart,
and, therefore, mans best friend.-Home
