Excursions TO Tolchester Beach via Raj
and BoRt

The popular demand for the delightful
one day excursions to colchester Beach
has become so urgent that the Philadel
phia, Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad
Company has yielded to the pressure, ard
offers series of trips during June and
July to that attractive bayside resort via
rail to Baltimore and steamer on Chesa-
peake Bay. The first is fixed for June
2Sth. the second July 18th, and the third
July goth The capacity of the steamer
Is ample, but in order to avoid any over
crowding the number of tickets
offered for sale will be limited
IL would be wise. therefore, to those
who desire to make their going sure to
secure tickets in advance. The same
low rate Of 81 90 from Philadelphia 81 25
from Chester, and $1.00 from WILMINGTON

Gems of Thought.
ever wantonly frighten others.

Never wantonly frighten others.
the consequences be what they may.
Ever keep truth for your motto and
guide and you will surely be the gamer
in the end.
Perseverance and tact are the two
great qualities most valuable for all
men who would mount, but especially
for those who have to step out of the
crowd.
Never condemn your neighbor un-
heard; every story has two ways of be-
ing told, and justice requires that you
should hear the defence as well as the
accusation.
You must be sure of two things.
You must love your work and not be
always looking over the edge of it,
wanting your play to begin; and the
other is, YOU must not be ashamed of
your work, and think it would be more
honorable for you to be doing some
thing else.
If we take people as we find them,
welcoming all their good points and
passing over the Others, ,and being kind
and generous to all, we shall come
much nearer to the truth about them
than if we labored to make a critical
analysis of minds and hearts of which
we can see only few fragments.
Lies pathway is up hill. lie who is
making true progress is having a hard
time of it. Every step costs effort. If
man finds his way an easy one, he
may be pretty sure that he is going
down hill and that il no direction for
any man. Let no man complain there
fore, but rather take heart, il could not
be progress if it were not.

ANOTHER MYSTERY.
Three Negroes Cause a Sensation Near
Trice's Landing.

The reports from the neighbor-
hood o. Trice's Landing below the
mouth of Red river that reached the
city this morning promise to get up q
IT d-hOt sensation. There is a lonely
lane leading from New Providence
to this landing, which is full Of gul
lies, whose banks are covered with
underground. A few days ago three
strange negroes were seen digging
what they said WAS well on the
side of the lane, and their actions be
ing suspicious they were watched by
two negroes who live in the locality,
The we'll was dug about ten feet deep
and after dark the three negroes
were seen to bring something from
Cumberland river bluff and put it in
the well. They then filled the ex-
cavatiOn up and went away ana
have not been seen or heard of since,
The report gained general circula.
ton and many people have visited
the place and have verified the re-
port as to the excavation. 1t is
there, and can be seen by anyone
having curiosity enough to go down
there and look at it. The idea pre-
walls among the negroes that a muir
der has been committed and that the
body was secreted on the river bluff
until the hole could be dug, and that
it was then put in it and covered up
Judge Tyler's attention was called
to the matter to-day and it will
probably be Investigated.

had climbed up to eighty-seven feet
and at 6 o'clock this morning it reg
istered ninety-seven feet. 1t had be.
gun falling again, however, this
morning, and at II O'Clock had gone
back to eighty two feet. At that
rate the water would probably 90
back to from tifty.five to sixty feet
by night. The rents anticipated in

ion that the pumps are what causes
the trouble and not by any bursted

viding that the County court should
submit the question, to be ratified by
a vote Of the people in the territory
to be annexed, the election to be
held by the sheriff when ordered by

Shelby, jumped on the amendment
with both feet and had it laid on the

FIGHTING THE MEASURE.
Davis, Legerwood and Collins Against
The Revenue Bill

The House of Representatives is
having a strong fight over the Reve-
nue. bill. The opposition to the mon
strosity is headed by Messrs. Davis,
Legerwood and Collins. They made
a noble fight yesterday, speaking I'M
til they were worn out, and their
work told. The tax on cigarette
dealers was reduced from $500 to
1927. They failed, however, in the
fight against taxing all shows $500.
This remains the same. The fight in
behalf of civil engineers was also a
failure. When the line was reached
which proposed tax of$5, 600 on coal
iron and railway companies the fires
ofbattle broke forth anew The trium
virate were aided in this by speech
from Representative Story of White.
The fight was kept up until 2o'clock,
when the House adjourned. This
clause was amended, however, so as to
read doing business under that COR
porate NAME" and included all who
carry on this three.fold enterprise.
The tax on electric light plants was
allowed to remain at 500.
Inroads were made by the opposi-
ton upon the bill, and it is the gen
eral belief that with a rest over Sun.
day the red headed triumvirate will
demolish it Monday.

THE MISSING PREACHER.
Rev. Henry Crockett, of Dickson County,
Mysteriously Disappears.

The Dickson Advance gives a rather
vague account of the sudden disap,
pearance of Rev. Henry Crockett, OF
that county, on the 9th of March
which is unaccounted for, and the
whole community is wild with eX.
element over the matter. Mr..
Crockett, it seems, has charge of a
circuit as Il member of the Tennessee
Methodist Conference, and has
walked blameless, keeping himself
unspotted rom the world, discharg-
ing his pastoral and christian duties
efficiently and most acceptably since
he has been there, 1t appears, how.
ever, from the Advance, that some
charges of grievous sin before his
connection with the church had fol
lowed him, and that he was called on
at Edgewood to give an account Of
himself which he did, giving refer
ences where he came from, and on
the 9th inst, started home to his
family, ana has not been seen or
heard of since, and it is apprehended
that he has been flully dealt with.
