Matt D, Rhea, aged 25 years,
son of DR.. A. Rhea, died Friday
evening of consumption, at his
home in Whiteville. His remains
were buried at the Crowder grave
yard Saturday. The services were
conducted by Raphael Semmes
Lodge, knights of Pythias.
Matt Rhea was one of the most
brilliant young men in Harderman
County. He was possessed of fine
business qualifications, and filled
many important and responsible po-
sitions. For while, he was depu-
ty county court clerk, under the
late Mr.. Farley; later, he served in
the capacity of bill clerk for the
Tennessee Midland Railroad at Mem
phis; and afterwards, he was en-
ployed by the Illinois Central Rail
road as freight clerk at Jackson.
While serving in the latter posi-
ton, he contracted the dread dis
ease which caused his death. On
account of his health, he was com
PEELED to resign this position. He
went to Florida and remained there
a year but without benefit, Several
months ago, he returned to his old
home at Whiteville, but was never
able afterwards to attend to business.
Matt Rhea was the idol of his
family, His bright, cheerful dis
position and courteous, polished
manners made him a favorite with
everybody who knew him. In the
prime of young manhood, with a
promising future before him, he has
been called from earth. Let us re-
member, however, that God knows
best. The BULLETIN speaks not
only for itself, but for large cir
Gle of friends, in extending sincere
sympathy to the bereaved family.

years. Miss Caraway informed us
that this stone was once in the pos

The color of the stone on top il
black, but the reverse side which II
the part applied to the wound, il
perfectly white and full of small
pores, which extend almost through
the stone. When applied, if the
stone refuses to stick, there is NJ
danger of poison; but if it sticks
the wound is poisonous. When i
adheres to the wound or bite, it i
removed every hour and a half ant
soaked in luke-warm water. Thl
process is repeated until the ston'
refuses to stay upon the wound, at
ter which it is said the poison is ex
tracted. Miss Caraway informs II
that she has known the stone to ad
here for twenty hours. Hundred
of cases have been treated, and n
trouble has ever resulted where tn
stone adhered. Parties have beel
known to come for four hundre'
miles to have the stone applied.

BARTINE IN LINE.

Congressman J c. Sibley is in San
Francisco, and with Gen. Warner
proposed to open the campaign for
silver in that State He received a tel
egram from Senator Stewart asking
him to await the Senator's arrival as
he intends to Join him in starting a
silver boom in California.
When interviewed in San Francisco
Mr.. Sibley said he was amazed at the
growth Of the silver sentiment in the
Middle and Western States This bug
aboo about there being too much sill
Yer money in circulation is too foolish
for serious consideration.
In this connection it mas be OF in
terest to Republicans of gold-standard
proclivities that Mr.. Bart,ne is in the
silver movement His ideas have ex-
banded since he left the little coterie
OF politicians in Nevada, whose motto
was party first and free coinage if
the party agrees to it." In letter
published in a Salt Lake paper Mr..
Bartine says those who contend that
the moment our mint is open TO silver
other nations will unload their silver
upon US, lose sight of the fact that
other nations have no silver to unload.
Europe produces no silver and she
could only unload her coins upon US
at an immense loss"
Nevada Republicans should study
what their leader. Mr. Bartine, SAYS,
emerge from the cloud of prejudice in
which they have been shrouded and
fight under the banner of the National
Silver Party, on which is emblazoned
ineffaceable char acters, free coinage

THE BEAST and THE POET
MAY 5

The removing Of Oscar Wilde's
works from public libraries and the
kicking Of his plays off the stage, be
cause of the unspeakable degradation
into which he has fallen morally and
socially is hasty mark of public dis
approval, as senseless as it is unjust
The work of writer is no more to be
considered with his moral character
than the work Of q painter or sculptor.
If We, at this late day, discovered that
the man who fashioned the Venus of
Milo was as debased wretch morally
as Wilde. no one would think of top
ping that Incompatible piece of
sculpture from its PEDESTAL.
As "a poet we must judge Wilde by
the rules which apply themselves to
English verse and any one who will
maintain that he has not written some
magnificent verses. has not read his
poems. Gifted beyond his kind with
a poetic fancy that for facility of eX-
preston and wealth OF imagery was
il' was t.lSO 'til SOU
with filthy and debasing instincts
that presents one of those enigmas of
prenatal influences which puzzle and
astonish the psychological student.
That two such radical extremes
should combine in one man, is most
astonishing paradox susceptible of no
natural explanation. The physicians
of London are now Investigating his
case and will prove that a faint Of
moral insanity has been in his family
for generations.
In another column is reprinted a
poem by Wilde, which shows what the
man is capable of doing in the line of
versification when he gives his brain
a chance.
