The Police News, of Boston, has sus- pended publication.

Commercial Record A business man in New Haven who has passed through several financial panics has a plan that ought to be emulated by business men and capitalists everywhere. As soon as the depression begins and there is tendency to hoard money he adopts the opposite policy. He immediately pays every bill that he has on hand unpaid and calls for immediate presentation of all bills that have not been sent in, thus doing all he can to increase the circulation of money as the time it is most needed. This is very much in contrast to the methods of some people-well to do people, too-who postpone paying their bill just as long as possible, therby keeping an almost end less chain of people waiting for settle ment of long standing accounts. It is this far-reaching effect of money hoarding that makes it so disastrous. Every man who owes a bill and postpones paying should reflect that he is not only keeping his creditor waiting, but an indefinite number of others who are more or less dependent on each other. The obvious moral of this is: Pay your bills promptly.

 The Mansion House took fire little before five o'clock Monday morning and burned to the ground. The cause of the fire is unknown. It was first discovered near the roof, and in very short time the entire structure was in blaze. But for the good service of the hydrants and hose, the buildings on both sides of the hotel would probably have been burned. The distance between the hotel and the post office and store of Harry A. Doyle is only about eighteen feet, but the skill full use of the hose prevented it catching fire. This is the first time the hydrants, which were put in last fall have been put to practical service, and the result is very gratifying. The Mansion House was owned by John Foskit of this place, and had been occupied by A. l.. Kurau fo1 several years, but had just been leased by MT. Ellis, of Hartford, who had just taken possession, but had very few of his goods here, and most of those were saved. The building was very old, being one oi the few old landmarks of the town. Al the time of the fire strong west wind was blowing aud the sparks set fire to the roofs of J. P. Roots and Wm. Sumner's houses on the opposite side of the Street several times. Loss, $3OO0; insurance $25OO. FLORA.

Col. A. 5. Goodwin.

Col. Aaron s. Goodwin, who has
been in failing health for several
months, died at his residence at
Goodwin Station in this county last
Wednesday evening at $50 o'clock
in the 73rd year of his age. Rev.
Mr.. holland conducted the funeral
yesterday morning at 10 o'clock, at
Godwin's Chapel. Interment in the
family burying ground.
There was no better citizen in
Maury County than Col. Goodwin.
He was large in statue, and in mind,
and in heart. A man of kind i'm
pulses and generous acts. Possessed
of ample means, with only the mod
est demands of himself and wife to
support, what others might have
boarded or spent in luxurious living,
he gave to charity. No one ever
went hungry or cold or without raj
ment within reach of his hand; for
he was always ready to listen to
their appeals and relieve their ne
cessities. He was public benefac-
tor, and stood with few equals as
the friend to the friendless, the
father to the fatherless, and the
| cOunselor-wlse, conservative and
honest-to those who needed advice.
He was as brave in war as he was
great in peace. He was Lieutenant
Colonel of the 48th Tennessee Regi-
ment, and no more gallant officer
wore the gray. The courage he dis
played on the field of battle, the ten
der solicitude in the camp for every
soldier, won for him the ardent adj
miratiOn and undying love of all his
men.
Col. Goodwin never had any chill
dren. He leaves a wife to mourn
the loss of a devoted husband and
dear companion; and he leaves to
sympathize with her friend wher-
ever he was known.
Mary Erwin, the infant child OF
Mr.. and Mrs. James Zuccarello, died
at Pulaski last Monday.
