OBITUARY.

Mrs. Cain Walker died the end inst.
with grip; her remains were inferred al
Cherokee the Sd, where she will sleep
in the cold silent tomb while her spirit
is walking the pavement of gold. A
precious II from us is gone, a voice
we loved is still; oh, how we miss her,
for she was a good wife, a good mother,
a christian woman; oh mother, mother.
Hush, friends; be silent, do not weep,
God will wipe away all tears from your
eyes: your dear old sister has gone to
her long sweet home, waiting to open
the gate of pearl for her dear old hus-
band and children she has left behind.
May the Lord bless the bereaved fam
lily, and may they prepare to meet their
old mother and their God. Your
mother is not dead, she is only Sleep
ing in Jesus, where none ever wakes to
weep she has paid the debt. Oh happy
10 your mother in heaven, wearing that
beautiful crown, her voice is gone on
earth, no more to be heard, but not
forgotten, her steps is still heard, her
work is done. Oh wife, oh mother,
hush; be silent; she is gone to her home
in heaven, singing her beautiful hymn:
o how sweet 1t will be in that beautiful land
When free from all sorrow and pain,
with songs on our lips md with harps in our
hands
To meet one another again.

Sunday school was reorganized at
Oakland last Sunday. j. F. McCracken
was chosen to succeed R. B. Collier as
Superintendent, Chas. Poarch assistant.
School was also r~eorganized at Provi-
dence. Jas. Slagle has retired from
the clothes line business, and is now
devoting his attention to matters at
home, we hope he will be able to re-
sumo work in a few days. 1t seems
that Mormon preachers are becoming
almost as numerous through this vicin-
ity as candidates; their principal head
quarters are with Wilson Stevens and
family, near this place. r. L. Carson
will leave for Louisville, KY, this week
and will perhaps not return for a few
weeks. After several days CONTINENT
M. B. Campbell is able to be out again
greatly to the delight of some of the
Milbrook girls. We are informed that
Billy Barlow, of Millbrook, is a candi-
date for Constable in the Seventeenth
District. Frank Moore is also an as
pirGnt for the same office. DR.. Camp
bell and family were the guests of Mrs.
Carson and son, Friday of last week.
We hear that John Walker, of this Dis.
trict, wishes to be promoted from the
office of school director, which he now
holds, to that of Magistrate. Since the
recent cold snap prospects are not very
fiattering for an abundant peach crop
through this section. l. F. Moore is
hauling logs preparatory to building
a new house this summer in case he
should be defeated for Constable in the
August election. PATRICK.

A Delightful Entertainment.

What promises to be a very pleasant
entertainment will be offered to our
people on next Tuesday evening, April
10, when Miss Cora G. Johnston, the
popular %reciter, will appear in Temper
ance Hall in a program of choice Sc
lections and Delsarte statue poses.
Miss Johnston from one of the
best families of Virginia, and is most
highly recommended to us as q lady of
culture and marked attainments as an
elocutionist. Among the many very
favorable notices by the press we copy
the following
Miss Johnston deserves much praise,
Each number was excellently rendered,
showing her to be n superior elocutionist as
well as graceful, cultured lady. No one can
hear her without dellght."-State Chronicle,
Raleigh, N. C.
Long before the opening of the program
the auditorium was filled with people, and
from to 10 o'clock the program arranged by
Miss Johnston seemed to hold the audience
within its grasp; and from the tremendous
applause we are quite sure there was not one

MRS. LIZZIE BRICKER.

The subject of this sketch was born Octo-
Der 7 1870, died March 7, 1894, aged % years
and o months. She protested faith in Christ
several years ago, and Joined the Methodist
Episcopal Church at sulphur Springs, this
county, where she held her membership I'M
til God called her to the fellowship of the
church triumphant. Sister Briciier lived a
very consistent life, had an amiable DISPOSE
ton and was loved by all who knew her.
True, she will be missed on earth by her
weeping husband and many friends, but our
loss is her eternal gain, for she has only gone
to join her sweet little children, Jennie Bell

Y MILL.

The convention passed off very quiet
ly, with a few exceptions; some are a
little displeased with one or two OF the
nominees for the county offices. But
that dissatisfaction will not keep them
f~romvoting straight Republican ticket
in August. The Republicans cast the
largest vote in the Eighth District that
has w been knows. There were sew
eral Democrats, who came out to the
primary and professed faith in the Re-
publican party by voting Il pure and
undefiled r. publican ticket. AS these
fall in the ranks of right and rectitude,
may others see their evil ways and be
constrained to come forward and make
the good confession. Those who take
this grand old party Tor their portion
shall go from strength to strength ever
growing IN grace. All lie means
growth; but there are are two kinds,
we may be either growing up in Repub-
licanism or downward in Democracy.
And so the youth, who would grow up
to true and honorable MANHOOD, needs
but to lay hold of the Republican doc
trine and set his foot on the Republican
platform. In its word of truth and
merit we may trust; on its wisdom we
may rely in every difficulty; and in its
love we may confide. May all Repub-
~licans, young and old, make the party,
to which they belong, one o. renown.
Let them rally together and march UP
TO the polls in next August and vote as
one man for the protection OF their
homes, their country, aud native land.
On hearing that Nose Strickland haul

II Was Too Cold

last week to admit of us saying any
thing about Dosser Bros, elegant stock
of new and stylish goods, which are
now in and opened for the inspection
of the public. In dress goods they
show some of the incest designs ever
brought to Jonesboro, and as to prices
well you do not get a chrome for
taking the goods away, but if any one
makes complaint of high figures they
should be compelled to wear sack
cloth and ashes on all occasions and
under no circumstances be allowed to
complain. If the ladies of Jonesboro
and vicinity are not arrayed in becom-
ing costumes this season it will not be
the fault of Dosser Bros. Be sure and
see this stock.

LOCUST MOUNT.

We notice recently the follow ing
question asked by s. H. Anderson,
Vice President of WASHINGTON County,
''Why is it that there is not more said
in our paper by correspondents from
different places in the county in regard
to Sunday School 7" We can readily
answer for ourselves, for there has
/been no Sunday School for us to report
\ about in this section since early last
fall, when they closed for the winter
until the 25th there was one organized
at RUBBISH with Col. Hall Superintend-
ent and one at Cherry Grove, with E.
L. Shipley Superintendent when they
get in good working order we will say
more about them. UP to the evening
of the gath inst. it was the most lovely
month we ever seen for the month of
March. But what a wonderful change
came we drfted, as it were, into the
icebergs of the North. And today we
behold a far different picture to that
OF ten days agO, FOR now there is not
o vistige of green leaves or sweet
bloom on the fruit trees and the wheat
fields and meadows look as though
they had been scalded. Some OF our
farmers think that the wheat is greatly
damaged and that most OF the spring
oats crop is entirely lost. Early gar
dens were slaughtered, and the fruit
crops down TO the berries are all killed.
Well has the proverb said that when
the wicket rule, the nation mourn; have
we not been testing the reality of this
proverb for a little more than one Year,
Well might we add that n calamity
followed another, and that the great
Omnipotant being hath declared that
he would scourge his people when they
followed off after strange Gods, and
this they done in November 1892. We
IRE elated over the Republican victory
at johnson City, and we trust it is only
an index 70 the success which the
grand old party will be crowned with
in the coming August and November
elections. We have o good county
ticket, and now let every Republican
who has felt the oppressive hand of
Democratic misrule and financial OPP
preston go to work, and that in earnest
and let us ioll up the largest majority
for our county ticket that we have
ever done in the history of our country.
Let us show to the world that the same
patriotic blood flows in our veins as did
in the pioneers of our country when
they defeated Ferguson at Kings Noun.

Musical Recital.

The Jonesboro Musical Club gave a
recital at the residence of Judge Kirk
patrick on the evening of Tuesday.
March 81, to a few invited friends, and
we are glad to say it was in all things
a complete success. The program en-
braced thirteen numbers, all of which
were charmingly rendered, and demon
strated a fact we have always held that
Jonesboro had sufficient musical talent
to entertain an audience most pleasant
ly. We understand and hope it is true,
that the club centemplates giving a
public entertainment in the neal fu-
ture, and if they do we bespeak for
them a good audience and an enjoy
able occasion.

FALL BRANCH.

Ye people of the quaint old town
Beside the rushing, roaring stream,
Come listen to the story in renown
OF how your hamlet took its name.
To the place where the miller makes the
meal
Come and listen to the rattle of the rill
AS IL ripples from the eddy to the wheel
Or the mouldy, mealy Morgan mill.
o come, see the rushing, splashing water,
Rolling n roaring like an ~avelanch;
See the scenery and the falling water,
From whence was named the village Fall
Branch.
Go, worship in its churches three,
Or read on itstombstones gray,
OF the deaths of those who used to see
The joys and sorrows wer're seeing today.
And now you've heard my story
OF the little burg beside the brook,
SO I'll tell you briefly of the glory
Bestowed by two hills which overlook.
The one is ~graveliy "Bains' RIDGE"
Which towers up in the east,
To meet on high the morning sun
And keep the village shadow dressed.
Great forage grounds for birds and beasts,
With grapes and simmons from the bios
SONS;
Home of owl and place of feasts
Fol bats and birds and boys and 'possums,
And one-majestic "Chimney Top"
Which hides the setting sun,
And casts its shadow broad and far,
And starts the plowman home.
That lofty land where Gods wi hand
Has laid the mammoth "Rock,"
Where we love to climb and Jake our stand
To view our country at one look,
And see the place made on the face
OF the rifteo, shattered rock,
When in an hour of Il thunder shower
1t felt the lightning's shock.
o, grand old land, towering so high,
AS if disdaining the base and lowly,
Teach us is place our hopes in the sky,
And teach us to be pure and holy.
Quite a crowd took a pleasure trip
upon the mountain last Saturday.
Prof. d. B. White, who has been teach
ing at Erwin the past year, returned to
his home near here last week. The
farmers are very busy now; they will
have to raise lots of watermelons this
year to compensate for the .oss of the
fruit crop. School closes April 10 AMI
20. This has been q very successful
year for the school. KEN.
