Child Tramps the Hills for II Night
SUNDANCE, Wyo., May 19.-(Special.)-
On Saturday the little son of W. N. Beavert
of Houston Creek wandered from home and
became lost in the hills. Search was made
for him by the family and this being un-
successful, the neighbors were notified and
they Joined in the effort to find the boy.
Sunday morning a messenger reached here
asking for volunteers. The call was re-
sponded to by almost every man and boy
in town and a thorough and systematic
search of the entire country surrounding
the ranch from which the little one had
strayed was commenced. An hour after the
reinforcements commenced riding the hills
the boy was found. He had wandered
nearly ten miles in the twenty-six hours he
had been away from the ranch. Although
but 3h years old, the boy had remained
awake throughout the night and kept NOV
ing nearly all of the time. Considering the
fact that the country Is pretty well over
run with wolves and coyotes, the boys es-
cape from harm Is almost miraculous.

The greatest trouble with Hard.

ing time. The condition of the
farm and premises does not come
in for consideration with many Of
them, Notwithstanding how badly
repairs are needed. A course of
this kind has run the county down
continually ever since the war.
The improvements have gone,
that were made by the slaves and
the county stands almost in an
entirely dilapidated state. Our
inexhaustable forests have been
stripped of most of the timber,
producing millions of feet of lum-
Der to build up the homes of
foreigners, but we arc left with
our homes unimpr0ved. The
boundless resources of nature are
all that has saved us thus far. The
country has not made a compe.
tency and had it not been for the
timber that has been put on the
market in the last thirty years
she would be most hopelessly in
debt. Calculate for one moment
and see what the farmers of Har-
din county has lacked, in produc.
ing what her citizens have lived
upon, yet she is only a farming
country. Our people depend up.

Harris Dead.

Senator Isham G. Harris, man
who has stood before the country
for the last half century died at
his post, in Washington city on
the Sth inst, and-in his death the
nation has lost one of her great
est counselors and Tennessee her
leading representative. He was
a native Of Tennessee and spent
his life in the interest of his state.
He in early life assumed a lead
er ship in Tennessee politics and
has successfully led his party all
the time. He had many political
opponents yet they were his ar
dent admirers. He looked with
the utmost contempt upon dis
honest actions or false pretentions
TO be honest and upright was the
pride ofhis life. Many are the
regrets expressed by the leading
men of the nation irrespective of
political persuasions.
We give below an expression
from Senator Morril Republican,
Of Vermont, the Oldest Senator in
the point Of service and age in the
United States.
Though we have always differ.
ed in political principles, yet there
was no member of this body to
whom / was moro attached than
Harris. He was great man, and,
viewed from the broad sympa-
thetic plane of human nature, a
good man. He impressed his
views on all who came in contact
with him, and during the years
we have served together in the
Senate i have never known him
to do anything save from a high
sense of duty"

The Cook.

viduals if not kept under close
watch will have the premises in
such condition that they cannos
be tolerated. The great hast to
be through and gone, when such
is allowed, dispells all disposition
to keep cleanliness in the pots,
but rather causes a slight of du-
ties that grows upon them as they
grow older, until it becomes intol-

They have the situation in their
own hands and the lady Of the
house must acquiesce or be left
with the burden Of her affairs on

pendance upon their will is easily
seen. When the pantry key is
not turned over to them, q strike
is on indeed, as they must go
home empty handed, which is
against the first principles Of their
teaching, to not allow their fam
lies at home fed from our tables
gives the first cause for dissatis-
faction. These considerations are
part pay as they think for the
mean labor VIC get. The employ

condition of these things. In the
first place they are not more than
half paid for their work, but nee
essity drives them into the bargain
and then they become restless

Savannah District.

The Savannah District confer
ence met in Linden, July |. Tues
day was given to the Sunday
school work. After the confer
ence was called to order and or
ganized, Capt. j. w. Irwin took
the chair and presided to the sat
isfaction of the Conference.
There was many interesting
speeches made, in which many
facts we're developed, from which
we expect much good.
The District Conference proper
convened Tuesday morning; the
charges were called and reports
received, some of which showed
prosperity while others as usual
were poor. Di. Kelley added
much to the conference; he
preached several very fine SER
mons; the one on Saturday on
civic righteousness, produced a
profound impression. 1t was
followed by hand shaking and
promises of a large number to
help vote the whiskey out of the
country. The DR.. then asked the
women to come, where upon near
ly every lady in church came
forward; two of whom came
down the aisle with babes in their
arms. The doctor placed his hand
upon one child's head and asked
the mother to see that he never
drank any whiskey and that he
made a prohibitionst. / do not
know whether the child was a
boy or a girl but the advice was
good. DR.. Kelleys visit to Lin
den will not be forgotten soon.
The new church there is a beau
tifnl building and was dedicated
on Sunday. We can say for the
Linden people that the Confer
ence was highly entertained.
On our return DR.. Kelley gave
us some of his war history, ii
which he referred to his attend
ance npon quarterly meeting in
Alabama, where he had changed
a confederate colcnel's uniform
for a citizens suit being invited
by the presiding elder to preacl
he was standing in the pulpit
reading his text when Who'll,

He said he thought he wal
gone up, though he preached as
religiously as possible, but wher
he concluded the soldiers march

away and he as Colonel wen

agine it took q man of fine nerve
