WHISKY AND SUICIDE.

Sidney Young, After a Night of Debauch
Attempts Suicide.
Sidney Young, one of the soldiers
stationed at the Arsenal, attempted
suicide this morning, by shooting
himself in the head.
The rash act was committed on
East Seventh street, in an abandoned
part of the city. The would-be sui
eide is about twenty eight Years old.
He came here from Indianapolis,
Ind, the 18th day of last May was one
year ago, and enlisted as a private
soldier at the Arsenal, where he ha-
brother.
He was Democrat in politics, an
last night Maj. Arnold gave him a
furlOugh to attend the Democratic
Notification. He was to return to the
Arsenal after the celebration. In
stead, he got drunk and spent the
night in town in the company of
abandoned women.
He seemed to have a perfect horror
OF being taken back to the Arsenal
and punished according to the army
rules, and remarked several times
Wednesday night that he in
tended 10 run away, and that if
caught would never be taken back TO
the Arsenal alive.
Yesterday Maj. Arnold detailed
Corporal Gall to find Young and take
him back to the Arsenal. The Cor
poral located him and started to
where he was. When Young saw
the Corporal coming toward him he
turned and ran a little ways, but
seeming to realize that flight was use
less, he pulled a pistol from his peck
ct and shot him> elf IN the temple.
Medical aid was summoned, but Ia
no purpose, though what could be
done was done. The wounded man
was carrie 70 his home at the Arse
nal and tenderly cared for. At this
hour he is still breathing, but it is
not believed he can last many hours

CAMPBELL'S STATION.

CAMPBELL's STATION, Nov. l4.-"Cra-
mer" was out in two articles last week
in answer to magnolia" and "Maury
County," One in the HERALD and the
other in the Democrat.
We will answer few things he puts
forth. We take it for granted that he
claims to be citizen of this cOmmuni-
ty; at least he would have his readers
believe this from the way he writes.
He saws he has been preacher of the
word of God for twenty years. There
is no preacher living in or near this
place or any one who gets his mail at
this pOst-Otfice, except two colored
preachers, and neither has been preach
that either of them is "Cramer." There
has been no one from this vicinity Wis
iting the "Windy City"-ChicagO-
recently, and spent ten days there.
He still retains his disrespecLful man
ner in speaking of those about whom
he is writing,
We did not advise him to go to the
dictionary to find the word of God, but
we do advise him to go to the diction-
airy to find the meaning of words.
I If this preacher was at the church
the night Mr.. Asbill preached, he was
there incog. He will have to look in
the Bible 10 find the meaning of this
word.
Mr. Cramer winds up by saying that
any one who says that Gentiles were
heather or Pagan III the days of the
Saviour was "liar aud the truth was
not in him" In view of what he says
about his being a preacher and about
his visit to the Windy City, and about
his hog trade, we would say that "peO-
pie who live in glass houses ought not
to throw stones"
On Saturday morning of the Bird inst,
}. NJ. COffey's son Sherley died and was
buried at Elkridge in Giles County.
He was six years old and vas a very in

able coffin, lie sent to Culleoka ard
LynnVille and could not get one. He
then sent to Pulaski. One was sent him
from there large enough to bury a
grown person. This was returned.
After making the second trip to Lynn
