HARMONY.

We fear thai the recent cold spell
will do much il jury to the crops which
have been growing SO nicely for the past
few weeks. Mnjor Bradshaw has been
visiting the people in this district as
sessing tax. W. M. Fulkersor, of the
firm of Cox & Fulkerson, has bought
the interest of Cox and has possession
of the store now himself. G. W. Jack
son and William Sherfey spent few
days last week with friends and rela.
tives in Greene County. w. A. Whit.
lock, who has b BON attending the Hol-
brook Normal at Fountain City, re-
turned home Last Friday. w. NJ. Full
kerson, D. W. Mitchell and Robert G.
Hartman are candidates for School
Commissioners in the Thirteenth Dis
trict. A good deal of stealing has been
going on in this and surrounding COM
munities the past few week. Someone
was 30 bad as to enter into d. W.
Mitchell residence few ninghts since
and took eight dollars in money out of
his pants, which were lying on his
bed where he WINS sleeping. 1t is not
an uncommon thing 10 hear of some

when these thieves will have to suf-

THE worst feature of this miserable
business, " said he, sis that have been
thrust in Jail by Andy johnson, who,
while was seeking to indoctrinate the
people of Tennessee with Union senti.
ments in 1850, was yelling himself
hoarse in the service of the State g
Right Democracy"
In 1870 Vance was elected to the
United States Senate, but was debarred
by reason of the fact that he had aband.
oned a seat in Congress in 1861 to go
with the South. He made persistent
appeal to secure the removal of his dis.
abilities, but was bitterly opposed by
the stalwart Republican element un-
der the lead of Ex-Governor Oliver P.
Morton. The latter quoted from Vance q
war time speeches numerous extreme
utterances. One thing quoted by Nor.
ton was an extract from one of Vance q
speeches made to Confederate regi-
ment just going TO the front, in which
some such language as this occurred
"Go to the front, boys, and do your
duty. Don't yield an inch to the
enemy. Fight 'em till hell freezes
over and then fight 'em on the ice."
When Morton quoted the extract,
Vance stepped over to the seat occu-
pied by Senator Brownlow and said to
him:
That's true. l made that speech.
But It's hardly fair for you fellows to
use 1t against me here, for | stole it
from you. 1t was taken from your ia
nous speech in Pixies Opera House,
Cincinnati, in 1892
But Vance failed to get his seat, and
i'll 1879 he resigned and went home.
In 1876 he was again elected to the
senate. by this time his disabilities
had been removed and he was admit
ted.
Senator Vance possessed the powers
of satire to.a marked degree. During
the memorable negro suffrage cam
paign of 1868 he delivered speech in
Iammany Hall in which he perpetrated
the following telling parody: .
From Greenland s icy mountains,
From India's coral strand,
Where Afric's sunny fountains
Roll down their golden sand
To every southern city
Shall negro suffrage come,
But not to fair New England,
For that's to close to hone.n

Our Work In Public Schools.

Our work In Public Schools.
We do not feel as deeply as we should
the great responsibility resting upon us,
1t is not only our duty to teach the
brain of the pupils intrusted to our
care, but it is our work to teach them
heart lessons of Jesus, love. And this
Is indeed wonderful mission of love.
Who of US needs grander mission
than this? AT every turn in the history
OF our country we are able to trace
with remarkable distinctness the foot
steps of the Almighty. The first re.
corded act performed on the shores of
the new world was of marvellous signi-
ticance. AS if the name given him at
his baptism foreshadowed his royal
mission, Christopher Columbus bore
Christ across the seas and here as he
first stepped upon the shore with un.
selfish devotion, on his knees dedicated
new world to the Lord Jesus Christ.
In the ecstasy of the moment he rev
erently kissed the ground and then
poured out his soul in a prayer of
thanksgiving and praise to Him who,
unseen, had walked the waves beside
his little fleet, and guided him in safety
to hitherto unknown land. Beauti-
full in its simplicity the ceremony end
ed and newly erected cross marked
another continent added to the poses
sion of the King of kings. The sum of
these suggestions is, that in all possible
means Christ is to be brought in con-
tact with the lives of the people whom
we desire to help and is it not our work :?
Some one may say the Sunday School
is the place. Is it truly? But what
shall we do with the children. who
have no Sunday Schools? and there
are hundreds of them within twenty
five miles of Jonesboro who have no
Sunday advantages, who never heard
their mothers read a scripture verse or
had their faces washed by them since
they can remember. Will one lesson a
week teach child mathematis? no |!
We must bring Christ to our day
schools, we must in some way get the
gospel to the people in their homes or
wherever we can find them. We must
get the story of the love of Christ to
them in loving epistles" in human
lives. They must read that love in our
self denying service. Nothing but
love will transform human lives into
spiritual beauty. An opal lying on the
counter seems dead and lusterless, but
when the jeweler holds it for a mo-
ment in his hund all the colors of the
rainbow are flashed forth. There are
thousand of lives dull and unhappy
without beauty or glimering of the
divine image, but which want only
the warm touch of loving hand to
bring out in them the radiant beauty
of Christ's likeness, and ours may be
the hand for whose touch these dull
lives are waiting.

NEw ORLEANS, April 3O.-Firc started
about II o'clock Saturday In the kitch-
on OF the ST Charles hotel, on St
Charles, Gravicr and Commerce streetS.
The progress Of the flames was so rapid
that the Commerce street side Of the
third, fourth and fifth stories were
soon in flames, and before the occu-
pants, the guests and servants could be
moved.
Several persons were seen at win
dow on the fourth floor, facing on
Commerce street, apparently in flames,
crying for help One Of them, man,
,prang from the window, falling on his
head and dashing out his brains His
clothes were burned from him and the
body was black with burns What be-
came of the others who were standing
around him, whether they escaped or
were burned 10 DEATH II is impossible
10 say, and will not be known until
the ruins are searched.
Ladders were placed against the
windows and from the upper floor
several women were taken down, many
Of them in fainting condition. An
other mau who sprang from window
was instantly killed. His name and
residence are unknown.
The hotel was built in 1856 at n cost
OF sl,OO0,O 200. The loss will probably
exceed $500, 600.

Fort Morgan had now opened n plung-

one hundred chances to one that the
person attempting II would be carried
TO the rear riddled with bullets 1t
was positively certain that as soon rs
the sound OF the shovel was heard, the
enemy, lying directly in front and but
a short distance away, would direct
their fire 10 that spot Everyone saw
the situation and the danger. and nat
urally no one was In haste to volun-
teer. Finally private named Lon Mock,
a man of delicate frame, who had en-
listed In Company A from Wellsboro,
fioga county, Pa, stepped 10 the front
and said, without any flourish and as
though II was the most ordinary affair
Of his life, that no would undertake
tho job. Tho terrible campaign of 1854
and the dampncss and malaria OF the
Virginia swamps had told upon his
health, and lie hardly looked able TO
lift shovel, much less TO undertake
the probably fatal work in hand lie
had always done his duty, but In a
very transformations way, in no manner
distinguishing himself, and 1t was with
much surprise that his comrades saw
him step to the front when they had
all hung back. lie did not seem TO be
anxious 70 co. and there was no air of
bravado about him. lie simply es-
teemed the act TO be In the line Of his
duty, and II that was the case II made
no difference TO him whether the per-
formance was dangerous or not lie
were at stake, and that 1t was neces-
sary for some one TO throw up
the defense that had been washed
away In the interest OF saving
life. a shovel was obtained and
Mock climl ed over the rife pit
and began his work Sure enough, as
soon as the sound OF the shovel was
heard the bullets began TO fall thick
and fast about him. One struck his
shovel fair on the fat surface and rent
1t spinning out of his hand, but he at
once picked II up and shoyeled away
again as though nothing had happened,
Everyone held his breath, expecting
every moment that Mock would be
struck, and while we were crouching
behind the pit in comparative safety,
he shovcled as leisurely as though he
were digging his garden at home How
he ever escaped was mystery TO us
all For fifteen or twenty minutes he
worked there with his back TO the
enemy under a constant and rafting
fire until the breach was repaired. and
then climbed back saying, quietly: II
guess 1t is all right now, boys" and
everyone felt like hugging him for his
brave act, Lon Mock marched no more
with MS in that campaign. The result
of his exertion was severe cold, and
he gradually went down TO his grave
and survived the war but short time.
His brave act In front OF Peters burg
has not been forgotten, however, and
every spring when his comrades strew
his grave with flowers the story of his
heroism is rctold by those who person
ally knew of the action. lie never re-
ceived promotion, and his heroism 10

At the same hour Of the day that Ia

resume work at once, this same pro-
pusal was being hisscd by the strikers
and their friends ut the labor hall

So far rs any official action Of the
union is concerned the proposition for
arbitration has been again rejected,
and the strikers are in the same posi-

Petersburg, had charged into piece OF

had been taken from our forces by tho
confederates. II began TO rain furious

Trestle Bridge Under Fire.
In the latter part Of December, 1902,
when small detachments were scat
tered along the line of the railroad
from Columbus, Ky, TO Holly Springs,
Miss, guarding the bridges and trestle
work, the following incident took
place, which for cool courage exceeded
anything that came to my attention
during my three years OF service:
After the capture OF Holly Springs,
Miss, Gen. FORESTS cavalry made a
raid northw ward upon the line Of rail-
road and captured every station be-
tween jackson, Tenn. and Columbus,
KY, except q small detachment of
some seventy-tlve men who were guard
ing the bridge and trestle across the
Obion river, about ten miles north of
Jackson. Tenn. This detachment was
composed OF parts Of companies II and
| of the One Hundred aud Sixth Illinois
infantry, and was commanded by Capt.
p. w. Harts, now OF Springfield, ILL.,.
and Capt John Shockey, now OF
Nevada, Mo.
After the attack on Jackson and the
capture of Col. Ingersoll and part OF
the Eleventh Illinois cavalry a detach-
ment of some five hundred men with
two pieces of artillery was sent by Gen.
Forrest against the handful OF men
guarding Obon bridge The federal
guard had hastily built rude block
house directly under the trestle, deter
mined 10 make the best possible de-
fense. Promptly at one o'clock on De-
cember 2S the station north OF the river
was surrounded by some five hundred
confederate cavalry, who dismounted
and made n desperate effort to capture
the guard and destroy the bridge and
trestle, and thus break railroad COM
munication with jackson. Here the
unequal battle ragged until the middle
OF the afternoon. The shriclsing shells
and swishiug shot crashed through the
heavy timber surrounding the fort.

been in course of construction for many
years, and, when finished, will have
