CHAPTER I.

A year or two before the breaking
out of the wan between the states
there lived III one of the mountain
counties OF a southern state a
wealthy and cultured young man.
named Jacob PhiIippson, lie belonged
to an old family which had long
lived on a fine estate of 5000 acres
of land, and was possessed Of large
wealth in slaves and bank stock.
Like a great many other southern
young men Jacob Philippson had been
sent north to complete his education.
married a notthern lady. His par
ents received her with great cordial
ity to their home, and they and her
husband filed her life with happi-
ness. But that year both of. Mr..
Philippson's parents died, being well
advanced in age. He was their only
surviving child, and was plunged by
their death, occurring amid SO much
JOY, into very great grief. Before
he had time to recover from this
double blow, his idoli2ed wife died,
leaving him O and daughter
about a week old. Her death
crushed him, and his mind trembled
on the verge of insanity. He re-
jected all consolation. At first he
refused to allow his wife to be buried /;
and after he had been forced to con
sent, he would often spend the night,
lying by her grave in the family
burying ground. This exposure
brought on a severe fever, and hi
wish for death was almost gratified
But after many weeks of suffering h,
recovered.
Meanwhile his wife's mother tool

seemed not to affect him, for he wa
now like one dazed. He went no
where and saw nobody, except h
house servants and his busine,
agents. lie spoke only when spoke
to, and then preferred to answe i
monosyllables. A permanent mel
ancholy settled down Oh him, an
his mind seemed almost to cease t
act. Pie report got abroad that h
was crazy, and some of his friend
suggested that he be sent to a
asylum for treatment but his bus
ness agents said that when arouse
his mind was as clear as ever. Thi
together with the great excitemeI
about the war, caused him to be ],
alone. He turned over to his owe
seer the entire management of b
plantation, and shut himself up
the fine old family mansion. At Il
close of the war his slaves all Il
him. He then sold off nearly ever
thing that could be raised off of
estate, and shut himself up ev
more closely in his now dreary a
desolate home. His neighbors VIC

them ventured to inquire, they fou
out nothing from him. AS soon

The Next state Convention.

The indications now are that the Dem
ocratic State Convention next year will
be quite tame affair compared with sim
liar qusdrenniAl gatherings. There are
but two candidates for -Har,
din and Clay--and only one ballot will
be necessary 10 decide the contest, and IL
is highly probable that after the county
primaries Hardin will have such large
instructed vote he will be nominated by
reclamation.
Several candidates have been spoken
Of for Lieutenant Governor, but popular
Dick Tyler, of Hickman, is the only one
positively announced, and he Is certain
To be the man.
For Auditor Mai. l.. C. Norman, the
present incumbent, has no opposition.
For State Treasurer there are several
candidates, but politicians all over the
State concede that none of them are in IL
with our countyman, Judge w. FL. Gard
ner.
Ed Porter Thompson will he Endorsed
for superintendent Of Public Instruction,
rs he has made splendid official, and
Just can't be beaten.
Swango has no opposition for Register

Col. Ion Il. Nall has nailed down the
position Of Commissioner OF Agriculture.
Gen. Jack Hendrick Is running for At
