Tuesday evening the news
reached here of a painful accident
which occurred to our young friend,
Charles Gauthier, son of Mr.. L. G.
Gauthier, who, while attending to
the cotton gins on his fathers plan
tation passed his right hand in the
saws of the gin, terribly decorating
his arm and hand. Drs. Martin
and Guilbeau were summoned and
dressed the wound without ampu-
tating the arm. There is every
hope of saving his hand with the
exceptions, perhaps, of one finger.

The detention camp at Avon
dale for skilled laborers is now
ready for occupation. The camp
at the present time can accomo-
date 600 persons, who will be held
ten days, after which time their
baggage will be disinfected, and
they will be permitted to enter the
sugar parishes. This camp will
be of immense benefit to the su-
gar planters, as most of the skill
ed laborers employed in the refin-
cries come from the cities and
other states.
The local cotton situation looks
as if it will improve in the near
future, and the planters will get Q
better price for their product.
Monday morning the market open
ed at SIS for seed cotton, when
MIR. M, L. Broussard who repre-
sents q New Orleans cotton firm
increased the price to $3.50. We
are told that on the same day cot
ton was selling at $500 at New
Iberia, and many planters have
expressed their willingness to
bring their cotton there if that
price is guaranteed them.
There is an artist now doing
some painting in the Catholic
church, at Father Langlois own
expense. We believe if the peo-
pie would come together and make
up a subscription it would be pos
sible to raise enough money to get
the whole church painted, and
make that grand edifce the pref
test place of worship in the coun-
try. Would it not be the pride of
the town to have the prettiest
church in the country? We have
the building, the only thing ne
cessary is the painting. The pain
ter is here, at work, let us raise
the money and get the whole in
side of our church decorated.

THE COUNTRY EDITORS WIFE.

You have heard OF the country editors life,
With its care and worry and doubt,
OF the shabby -genteel OF his seedy clothes,
OF his diamond pins and his calm repose,
His happiness, money and gout.
But, say. have you heard OF the editors wife
OF that silent co-partner, who,
With IA blending OF sentiment, beauty and
skill
With Il temperate knowledge, tact and will,
The whole OF his labor can do?
1t is she who embrolders the garments worn
by the editors hard old chair,
Now dressed up with cushions, soft and neat
And trimmed up with tides and ribbons
sweet
Which once was so poor and bare.
II the editors sick, or away or behnd;
In need OF more hands and more haste
She directs his wrappers SO they can be read,
And writes his leaders right out OF her head
And willingly makes his paste.
She reads the magazines, papers, and books,
As the cradle she softly rocks,
While the editor sits In his easy chair,
With his fingers thrust In his tangled hair,
She quietly mends his socks.
Then she reads the ads with the editor.
Just to find out what each has paid.
"But the column ad OF the jeweler, there"
So he says, "the harness and human hair,
Must be taken out in trade"
So she wears the dresses he gets for ads,
And rattlcs' his sewing machine;
She uses the butter and eggs and things
The country subscriber so faithfully brings,
With checrfulness seldom seen.
But her life, SO full OF many delights
Has one dark cloud, alas.
Though she shares his tickets to the circus
and play,
To lectures and negro MINISTRIES gay,
She can't use his railroad pass.
When time hangs heavy on his hands
She beguiles his hours away
With joke and laughter, music and song,
And pleasant talk, and thus ripples along
The whole of each leisure day.
Oh. who would exchange this sweet content,
This simple and trusting life
For that of II queen OF royal birth?
For the happest woman in all the earth
IS the country editors wife.

THE BATTLE Of FRANKLIN,
TENNESSEE.
Editor Democrat-Star.

EultOr DcmOCfat-Stur.
For IA distance of nearly twenty
miles, the railroad running south from
Nashville passes down through val
leg OF surprising beauty and lowell
ness. Nature has been wonderfully
prodiga Of her beautiful scenery all
along those miles Of valley and noun
tain, and the hand and taste Of man
has added much thereto.
Just where this great thoroughfare
crosses the Archer river, on the south
side, lies high plateau, almost level,
and surrounded on three sides by this
picturesque little stream. Here, in
its golden setting Of fields of waving
grain, sets the historic little town of
Franklin, with its straight, clean,
tree-b -bordcred trees radiating out from
il broad, well.kcpt plaza or open space,
around which are ranged the hand
some public buildings and Offices Of
Williamson county, OF which Frank
lin is the county site. Just south Of
the town, and stretching away to the
east and west in beautiful undula-
tions, and with ii valley in its midst
is another and higher plateau, while
still further south the horizon settles
down on a range of wooded hills, on
the crest and near the center Of which,
clearly silhouetted against the even.
ing sky, stands IA tree, alone, and high.
cr than those near by. To this tree
the citizen who may accompany you
will point and tell you THAT is
Hoods tree"
Bathcd in the haze OF a summer
evening, this scene so calm, so lovely,
so quiet and pastoral. Is SO nearly a
dream OF heavenly loveiness, that
you can scarcely be made to believe
that here, thirty-three years ago, was
fought the bloodiest battle of the civil
war, perhaps the bluOdieSt ever fought
on this earth.
From that lone tree, a great Con-
fedcrate commander looked down and
watched his grey legiOns-the veteran
remnants OF the grandest army the
world has ever seen, as they charged
across the valley and up the slope td
where Thomas, "The Rock OF Chicka.
mauga," with his trained and tried
troops stood waiting to receive them
With the river behind and on tive
sides OF him, Thomas and his arm,
were lighting for their very existence
while the flushed and victorious Con
fedcratcs were rushing forward Il
strike what they fondly believed
would he a crushing bl0w-a blow
they hoped would end the war, ant
free their loved Southland from TIN
hated invader forever. MAN pro
poses, God disposes.' From side Il
side OF this beautiful valley, the It'd,
Of battle and carnage rolled, and from
right to left, heroes dashed on Il
death, and fell. At the old gin house
and across the pike at the Carte
house and the "bloody angle" dc
struction stalkcd supreme and tn
demon OF death held his highest carnI
val. Around the old gin, MlsS0urtan
, and Texans, MississippIans and Ten
nesseeans, Alabamians aud Arkar
E sIans-all mingled In heaps together
! and amid them lay Cleburne and Ad
. ans and Cranberry, general and c0
onel and priyate-heroes all, no rsnl
