Horrible Death.

Bradley, of st. Bethlehem, was
drownedin West Fork near Peterson's
mill at 800 O'Clock yesterday evening,
He was in company with several
boys seining for fish. Monk Pearce
had hold of the net, which was drag
ging heavily, and accidently turned
the boat over. Bradley being unable
to swim, went under. The other boys
made for the shore, not realizing their
comrades perilous stu ton until it
was too late to save him. The body
was recovered yesterday evening.

A DEMOCRATIC RELIC.
Something About Old Time Democracy
and Democratic Club.

Capt. r.. Y. Johnson has the flag
staff used by the Haymakers, COM
pany of patriots commanded by
Capt. Wright Carney, in the Polk
and Clay campaign of 1874. That
was one of the grandest campaigns
in the history of the country. 1t was
all hurrah for "Polk, Dallas and
Texas" and on to Mexico; big polk
stalks and red ROSTERS carried by the
Democrats, and hurrah for Henry
Clay, Frelinghuysen, protection, log
cabins, raccoons and hard cider by
the Wings. There were no "blocks
of five" in those days, but there were
blocks of hundreds in military uni
forms and boiling over and swelling
with patriotism. Companies were
parading nearly every day to the
music of drums and flies, with ban
ners flying, Big barbecues were as
common as chicken fries iE camp
meeting times. The Haymakers
wore straw hats with red bands and
red striped calico coats for uniform
and carried hay forks. We think
Johnson also has his fork, if he didn't
wear it out in the Legislature,
However, Johnson and this writer
were little tots then, and liked near
Iy ten years of being voters; but we
belonged to the haymakers all the
same, toted fork and brought up the
rear, stepping as high and marching
as far as any man. So it will be seen
that our democracy dates back.
Capt. Johnson is in favor of or
ganizing a permanent Democratic
club and wants to turn over this old
flag staff to the club. There is IA gen
eral, strong feeling in favor of this or
ganizaiion, and it is hoped that the
county executive committee vii
take the matter in hand and let Us
organize and get in shape for the
coming fight. There is nothing like
drilling in advance.

The Cause OF Poor Health

Ia often found in the neglect of one's
own self. A light cold or slight head
ache is treated as not requiring much
attention; the assumption being that
they will soon pass off, and it is only
when case OF full-fedged sickness de-
velops Itself that the consequences OF
that neglect are fully realized. As a
preventive and positive cure for Conghs,
Colds, Hoarseness, Splitting of blood,
Asthma, Pains in the Chest and first
stages of consumption, use Eilert's Ex-
tract of Tar and Wild Cherry, and for
sick Headache, Torpid Liver, Dys-
pepsia, Nervousness and all Bilious
Complaints, use Eilert's Daylight Liver
Pills. Both are guaranteed.

THE ART LEVEE.
A Pleasant Evening Spent at the
Academy.
A Large Crowd of Clarksville's Best
Citizens Entertained by Faculty
and Pupils.

The art levee at the Female
Academy last evening was attended
by a large crowd of Clarksville's best
citizens, and the evening proved one
of the most pleasant of the COM
mencement week.
The Principal, teachers and pupils
made it a point to entertain the
crowd, and right we'll theydid it. The
Academy was brilliantly lighted and
the parlors and studio were thrown
open to the visitors.
The art class at the Academy is
taught by Miss Warder, and the past
term there was an average of about
20 pupils in attendance. The work
of the class in oil, water cOlors, pastel
and crayon are credits to both pupils
and teacher, and were much admired
by the assembly. There are many
crayon portraits of well.known citi-
zens pendant from the walls of the
room that attract the attention of the
visitor. There are also many repro
ductions of familiar faces that have
disappeared from the walks of man
and have joined the throng on the
other shore. All of them reflect credit
on the competency of the teacher and
on the efforts of the pupils.
About II o'clock the visitors dis
persed. 1t was pleasant event and
the Academy people have the thanks
of all present.
WHERE THEY WILL GO.
The Academy will be rather lone
some from now unit! September.
The Art Levee closed the commence
ment exercises aud the pupils and
teachers will nearly all leave to-day
for their various homes.
Mrs. Buford and Miss Burgess
will remain in the city, however, for
some weeks yet. Miss Burgess Is not
in the best of health ard in
fact was cOntint d to her room last
night. She has taught fifty music
pupils the past term, working from 7
o'clock a. m. to p. m. the whole
time, and this work has severely told
on her. About the 18th of July she
and Mrs. Buford will take party OF
young ladies, pupils of the school, on
a tour of Canada, spending several
weeks on the trip. This will II"
doubt prove delightful journey.
Miss Washington left this mOrning
for Nashville, where she will spend a
short time and will then likely 60 to
Washington City to study art during
the summer.
Miss Mendel goes to Wheeling,
West, Va, to spend her vacation.
Miss Warder will spend her vaca-
ton likely at Chattanooga.
THE NEXT TERM.
The next term at the Academy
promises to be more successful one
than the present. Heretofore Mrs.
Buford has not canvassed for pupils,
but she has secured the services o;
Miss Stone, formerly of Wards Sem
mary of Nashville, who will travel
in the interest of the Academy dur
mo the summer. and will then take "A
place as teacher during next term.
Miss Stone is a valuable acquisition
to the already excellent Academy
faculty. She has been for NUMBER
Of years connected with the literary
department of Wards Seminary and
is a lady of rare accomplishments.

DIR. j. B. West, of GAINESVILLE, says

the Methodist +. Church, South, on
Thursday at II o'clock. We have
heard but one opinion expressed,
coinciding exactly with our own,
that it was a grand sermon-clear,
logical, strong and eloquent.

A Valuable Cow.

S. b. Arms says he has Jersey
cow not quite three years old that has
been in regular milking II months
and she is now giving three gallons
ofmillS, and making / pounds of but
ter per day. Mr.. Arms thinks that
south side grass beats all the grass in
the world making cows give milk
and butter. 1t grows rich, luXuriant
and tender in the bottoms and on the
h:llsides, and if the people on the
south side only had free bridge to
cross over with their butter they
would make the town people fat and
themselves rich. Mr.. Arms says il
costs him from 500 to $50 a year ferri-
age, and that knocks of nearly all OF
his profits.

The grand jury is in session to-day
at the courthouse and is getting after
the "crap" shooters. 1t seems that
some of the jurors are not well versed
in the game aad they called in some
experts this morning to give them
instructions. The foreman of the
jury asked one of the witnesses what
he knew about "craps." Before the
witness could answer, one of the ju
rors, who was not "on to" the game,
sang out: Craps, the devil don't
say anything about craps; it's been
so dry in my section that craps is a

ON THE GOLD COAST.
Some Singular Habits and Customs of the
Natives.

Some Singular Habits and Customs of the
Natives.
The native habits and customs of
these extremely interesting people are
gradually reducing them to a state of
absolute pauperism. Among the
pernicious practices is one which reigns
as supreme to-day as it did hundreds of
years ago, by which death in his fam4
lily means ruin to Gold Coast peasant
Should he be unfortunate enough to
lose wife, child, his father, or, more
important of all, his uncle, custom"
requires him to fire off guns, to provide
rum for all corners for week after the
death, and to repeat these obligations
at an interval of six weeks, and
again after the lapse of a year.
Sacrifices of goats and sheep must
be made at the funeral, and at other
times, as directed by the fetishman, and
perhaps a fetish made for the purpose
OF laying the ghost of the deceased.
To cover all this outlay the bereaved
person generally is obliged to go to the
rich man of the place and borrow
money at fifty, seventy-five or even a
hundred per cent. Until this Is repaid
the borrower is a slave and is obliged
to work two days each week for the
lender, receiving no recompense for his
labor. This unfortunate condition Of
affairs may go on for years until the
debtor is fortunate enough to obtain
suf1cient money to pay principal and
interest A man may also be held re-
sponsible for the debts of his deceased
relatives, for he who makes custom"
is invariably liable for the obligations
OF the deceased. Custom, that seem.
lngly ineradicable evil, is probably re-
sponsible for seven-eighths of the debts
OF the country, and weighs like an In
cuous on its prosperity by causing a
vast amount of useless expenditure and
implanting in the people, from child
hood to old age, love of drink and
idIeness- The observances referred to
are enforced by superstition and abject
fear OF the anger of the dead, of the
wrath of the fetish, and, scarcely less.
public opinion, which is sure to applaud
the man who makes what is termed a

portion of the land is pawned, and not
