ing old, no bitterness of defeat, no
unrequited love, but the sun of per-
feet peace forever shining on the
golden head. o, yes! she was
happy in her childhood's home; she
was happy, very happy in her brief
married life, but now she is with
her Savior, whom she loved, in the
rest of Paradise, free from the
weakness and pain of the body, from
the burdens and anxieties which so
largely make up every devoted life.
Bette Wynne Tiller was born in
Bolivar, Tenn, Dec. %, 1870. She
was confirmed at st. James church
May 25, 1894; was married to John
W. Alexander Dec. 10, 1895, and
was buried from st. James Church
August l, 1896. Her mother was
summoned to her bedside on the
2Sth of July, and she died on the
31st. But little while before, the
mother had surrendered the keep
ing of her child into another's hand.
He had faithfully performed his
vows, but the flower, though so
carefully tended, had withered-it
can bloom no more until the resur-
rectIon morn. The mother brought
back to her home the poor blighted
body. A sadder funeral never left
the gates of st. James Church.
''The Lord gave and the Lord hath
taken away; blessed be the name OF
the Lord" ''From henceforth
blessed are the dead, who die in
the Lord"
There is another home darkened,
but the mother can thank God fol
the victory before the battle. She
will work and wait and pray sun
til the day break and the shadows
flee away" The Church, whose
loyal and intelligent daughter, Mrs.
Alexander was, thanks God for the
constancy of her faith, and we most
surely believe there is laid up fol
her in her Savior's hands a crown
which the Lord, the righteous
Judge, will give her at that day
when He shall make up His jewels
owe asked life of Thee, and Thou
gavest her long life even forever
and ever" III

IN MEMORAM.

In December, 1895, fair young
girl sat in her cottage home sewing
with busy fingers on the dainty gar,
ments that were to make up heI
simple trouseau. She was very hap,
ply. She had been 4 good daughter,
an affeetionate sister and in a few
days the would be a faithful, low
ing wife. AS she sat and sewed,
her thoughts went back TO the time
when she stood before the altar and
her Rector had presented her to the
Bishop to receive the Laying on OF
Hands. She could never forget
that blessing, defend, o Lord,
this thy child with thy heavenly
grace; that she may continue to
shine forever, and daily increase in
thy Holy Spirit more and more un-
til she comes unto thy everlasting
kingdom. 1t was the season of
Advent, when the church is pray
ing e'that we may cast away the
works of darkness and put upon us
the armor of light" when this dear
girl stood before the altar, and gave
her hand in marriage to the man
she loved. She again received the
blessing-God the Father, God the
Son, God the Holy Ghost and bless,
preserve and keep you; the Lord
mercifully with his favor, look up
on you, and fill you with all spirit,
ual benediction and grace" She
was very happy. So she left her
childhood's home and went away
to bless and brighten the husbands
home. What the saints have called
the practice of the presence of
God" in her went hand in hand
with great thoughtfulness for 9th
ers, great unselfishness, great
kindness. 1t was so sweet TO be
the one beloved above all others, to
have the brave heart to lean upon
and the strong arms to defend. She
was truly very happy.
Ii was only a few short months,
when one day in August, death
came and the pure spirit went back
TO God. The windows of that home
are darkened, and one sits lonely,
so lonely in his desolation, listening
for the footstep that will never be
heard on the stairs again, wearying
for the voice that is still. May He
who wept at the grave of Lazarus
pity the bereaved husband. May
He give him grace to see, with the
eye Of faith, the beautiful home to
which she has gone, so much more
beautiful than his poor earthly
home, no sorrow, no pain, no grow

THE action of the populite
party in nominating Bryan
and Watson, the former for
president and the latter for
vice president, instead of be-
ing advantageous to the dem
ocratic ticket may prove OF
no avail. AS plenary power
was delegated to the Peoples
National Committee some
means may be devised that
will strengthen the demo-
cratic ticket. Should Sewall
md Watson remain in the
race and Bryan and Sewall
and Bryan and Watson cleo
toral tickets are voted for,
there would then be a divis-
ion of the free silver forces,
which would redown to the
interest of the republican
party. If the national demo-
cratic and populite commit
tees should decide to place a
mixed ticket in the different
states composed of one-half
democratic electors and one
half populite, it would proba-
bly, not meet with the appro-
val of either of the parties, be-
cause in that instance the
ticket could neither be COM
sidered democratic or popu-
listic, but it would no doubt
prove more satisfactory to the
pOpulites than the democrats
for the reason that Bryan,
the democratic nominee, was
also nominated by the popu-
lite convention. Had the
populite party nominated
both Bryan and Sewall there
is no doubt that the outlook
for democratic success would
be brighter. As the demo-
cratic party is much stronger
than the populite party and
if free silver is really desired
by the latter named, the poll
cy to be pursued to obtain
free silver legislation is the
withdrawal of Watson and
concentration of the free sill
yer forces in behalf of the
democratic ticket.

Gotton-Tie Trust Attached.

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. "A move
ment to unite the farmers of the
South in fight against the Cotton
Tie Trust In retaliation of the 100
per cent. increase in the price of the
ties has been set on foot by the
lion. J r. L. Nesbitt, State Com
missioner of Agriculture, who to-
LAY issued the following address:
To the Farmers of Georgia and of
the South:-A few years ago we
were confronted by a gigantic mo-
nopoly of the Bagging Trust, which
endeavored to force from farmers
thousands of dollars which in their
depressed condition they could i'll
afford to lose. By united effort
among the farmers this evil was
averted, and the huge octopus
which had fastened itself on the
agricultural industry was destroyed.
To-day we are confronted by sim
liar trouble. The manufacturers
of cotton ties have formed another
grand combination, and without
reason except to crafty an unlawful
greed have entered into an agree
ment to advance the price of their
goods 100 per cent. If the price
of iron had advanced there might
be some reason for this action,
but iron was never cheaper and
the same must be said OF coal and
labor.
The fact is simply that an effort
is being made to force the farmers
of the South to contribute millions
of dollars to swell the profits of a
powerful combination of manufac-
turers. The farmers are in good
condition just now to fight this
trust. They have their provisions,
there are few debts to be met until
later; therefore no pressing necessi.
ty to force their cotton on the mar
ket. / would advise that they
hold meetings in every section OF
the South and denounce the effort
to defraud them. At the same
time let them advise together as to
the best way of meeting this new
enemy, In the meantime the de-
partment which | represent will
make every effort to investigate
such substitutes for cotton ties as
will meet the requirements of dura
|. bility and safety.

ment of Agriculture.

THE Florida free silver
democrats have bOlted, and
the indications are that there
will he two candidates for
governor and that two cleo
toral tickets will be voted for
lone representing the gold
wing of the party AMI the
other that is favorable to free
coinage. In that state the
strength of the two factions is
about equal. With a divis-
ion in the democratic forces,
there would be little hope of
preventing, in that state, a
republican victory.

of the same state. The Sixth
district, in which Nashville
is located, the free silver ele-
ment held a primary to se-
lect their choice of candi-
dates, and John w. Gaines
was selected. But the rea-
son assigned by the boiling
committeeman for ordering a
convention is on account OF
fraud having been perpetra-
ted in Shelby county when
primaries were held. The
BULLETIN does not deny that
fraud has been committed in
Shelby county nor does il
deny that fraud has been
committed in Upton, Fayette
and Hardeman. But no sane
man who is posted IN regard
to convention proceedings
will deny that in many in
stances the will Of the people
has been throttled by SHARP
practice in conventions. The
truth is, unfairness is otter
charged when there is nc
grounds for such assertions
Only a few weeks ago a con
vention in this county was
held, and it was openly de.
clared by the now advocates
of a congressional conven.
ton that the proceedings o
the county convention were
unfair and unjust. They oc.
cupy the peculiar position
of charging the commission
of unfair acts in Hardemal
County and opposing a pri.
mary election because Of the
commission of fraud in Shell
by County. Shelby County
would be a participant il
either a congressional prima
Try or convention, therefore
the absurdity of opposing

the preparation of fraud by
Shelby County. The true
cause Of opposition is too APP

that is, the fear that Patter

In Arkansas, Mississippi
and Texas the damage to the
cotton crop by drouth is va
riously estimated at from %
to 80 per cent But as a re-
suit, cotton has advanced
about one-halfa cent a pound
within the last two weeks.
This is indisputable evidence
that the price per pound for
cotton is invariably greater
when a small crop is made
than when the supply eX-
ceeds the demand.

'Let us test this question of decrease
or an increase in the supply of money
since 1873 in another way. The worlds
production Of gold in 1878 was 500, zoe, 600;
in 1880 it was $l06, 49,, 800; in 1890 it was
Sis, 849, 900; in 1894 it was $3.50, 626 100; in
1895 it was sos, O0O, 900; and it is estimated
that for 1895 it will reach the unprecedent-
ed sum of $22O, 100000. Now the worlds
gold production for the year 1879 amount
ell, as I have said, to 800, 1000 The
worlds silver production for the same
year amounted to $81 800, 900. But the two
together do not amount to as much as the
gold production alone for the year 1895.
In 1895 the world produced $2O3 ,OO0, 900 of
gold. In 1873 it produced but $l78, OOO, 600
Of both gold and silver.
I'm the presence of these figures what
becomes of the contention of the advo-
Gates of free silver coinage that money
has decreased since 1873? It is absolutely
without foundation. But are these fig
ures correct? Unquestionably. Free
coinage men will not dispute them.
They will be found in the reports of the
director of the United States mint, ac-
knowledged to be the highest authority
in the world on the subject of the produc-
ton of gold and silver.
Since, then, it is too clear for further
argument that there has not been a de-
crease, but an increase, of money in this
country since 1873, it can no longer be
commended that the general fall in prices
was due to decrease in the supply of
