they both died within one minutes

in the same grave yesterday. As
they had passed the days of their
maturity, 50 they crossed the silent
stream together, not separated even

it is to hide our loved ones IN the

Sec. %. Be il further enacted,
That the tax assessor, elected at

Charles Siainback Dead.

Hon. Charles A. StaInback. of
Somerville, died in Cincinnati on
the 18th instant from nervous pros
tration. For year past his con-
stItution has been failing. At va
rious health resorts he sought re-
lief, but all to no avail. His re-
mains were buried in the Somer
vile cemetery by Forrest Lodge,
X. of P. Out of respect to his
memory circuit court adjourned and
attended the funeral in body.
Charles Ashley Stainback was
born in Fayette County, Tenn,
Aug. 81, 1851. In 1870 he com-
menced the study of law, and
graduated from the Lebanon law
school in 1872. Soon afterwards he
located IN SomerYllle and began
the practice of his profession. He
was successful from the start. In
1876 he was married to Miss Laura
Blakely. Four sons and daughter
all living, resulted from the union.
Politically Mr.. Stainback was a
democrat. In 1889, he was flote>
rial representative from Fayette and
Hardeman Counties in the legisla>
ture. On account of his superior
knowledge of parliamentary rules,
his readiness In debate and his
brilliant intellect, he was at once
recognized as a leader, and was
appointed to the most important po-
sltion within the gift of the speaker.
He took an active interest In pol
tiles, and was prominent In the
councils of his party. As GRIM
inal lawyer, he stood in the fore
front of the bar Of Tennessee.
Charles Stainback was known
and loved by a large number of
the people OF Hardeman County.
He was recognized as a manly,
courageous and courteous gentle
man, who delighted always IN
serving his friends.

The Pair.

The time Is near at hand when a
decision will be reached concerning
the proposed fair for Hardeman
County. In this district, the sub
scription list now amounts to elev-
en- hundred and twenty dollars,
which indicates that we have public
spirited citizens in our midst, who
have the welfare of the County at
heart. Experience teaches us that
in order 10 be prosperous we must
engage in occupations which will
rebound to our pecuniary interests.
In the north, where winters are
from two to three months longer
and much more severe than In the
south, the raising of stock is profit
ably followed. The advantage to a
southern stock raiser, 10 regard to
climate, is great. If the raising of
stock is profitable in the north, it
should be much more so here. Ii
may be asked what advantages ac~
crue to stock ralsers from the hold
ing OF county fairs. We answer,
several, few Of which we will
mention: First, it would not only
stimulate people TO raise stock, but
would be an lnducement to I'M
prove the grade, to successfully
compete for premiums; second, the
fair would be medium through
which stuck would be advertised
and sales effected; third, it would be
instrumental in bringing the lands
of our county to a higher state OF
cultivation. These are some of the
re asons why Hardeman sl5uld have
a fair.

One of the most horrible MUIR
ders in the history of the city occur
red at Memphis Monday afternoon
at 4 o'clock near the front of the
Custom House. Miss Alice Mitch
ell, eighteen year old daughter of a
prominent citizen, killed Miss Ere
derica Ward, of Gold Dust, Tenn,
by cutting her throat with razor.
After the deed was committed, Miss
Mitchell reentered her buggy, al
ready IN waiting, and drove rapid
ly to her home, with hands freshly
stained by the life blood IF her vic
tim. Son afterwards she was arrest
ed and placed i'm Jail. The only rea-
son assigned by the murderess for her
rash act was that "she lozed her 50
she had to kill her." The prom>
inence of the parties and the public
ity of the scene conspire to make
the case one of unusual interest.

has been donated by the state of

can be raised. comfortable furniture

The question now agitating the
minds of many democrats Is, whom
shall the democratic party nOmi-
nate as its candidate tor President.
Upon this question there Is n divis-
ion of sentiment. While the success
of the party depends to some ex-
tent upon the selection of nominees
the paramount question with the
people is that of taxation. In 1890
the issue was tariff reform, and the
result was, both north and south,
an overwhelming victory for democ-
racy and a disastrous defeat for
republicanism. Democracy has
asserted its opposition TO the pres
emit rate of taxation and stands
pledged to reduce it. Tariff reform
should therefore be the issue, 9TH
erwise conservatism would not be
proven, nor honesty of purpose es-
tablished.

Proved to Be a Weman.

jackson, Jan. 26.-That truth Is
stranger than fiction was illustrated
last night in a death which occur
ed at Juno. twenty miles east of
here. About twenty-five years ago
a young man appeared in the COM
munity, claiming to be from East
Tennessee and said his name was
Henry Armstrong. He said he left
some children back East. He has
lived as a farm hand ever since his
arrival in the community, and bore
a good character. A few DAYS ago
he took the grip, and died last night.
When the neighbors began to
prepare the body for the grave
the startling discovery was made
that Armstrong was not man but
woman. Two physicians were
called in and found that Armstrong
was well veloped female and
had borne children early in life.
She had carried her secret twenty
five years, no one ever suspecting
her sex. What was the mystery of
her life, whether shame, crime, or
Danish ment Will never be known.
1t is one of the Strangest cases of
the kind on record. She was fair
haired, smooth faced and must have
been a handsome woman before
she changed her identity. Several
people were in town from Juno to-
day who saw the corpse, and it is a
big sensation.
