And yet it is doubtful if there was
in those times such universal spirit
of unrest and discomfort, such a con-
cert of growing, as to-day.
Is it fair? Are we just? Can
we afford to waste time in bewailing
hard times, when times are easy on
us, and treat us far better than we
deserve.
A manager once said with a
chuckle: ""The mails have been
good to our house to-day; the first
one brought an order in every letter,
and the last one brought remittance
in every letter." We all know may
hap we are) persons who would have
said: "Alas, we have fallen on evil
times; the first mail brought no
money and the last brought no
trade"
Let us put aside these ugly tenn
pers of ours; look toward the sun;
smile at the shadow; all sunshine
makes the desert, "Its a pretty good
world, senor;'' enjoy its beauties,
let us borrow no trouble, shed light
on our neighbors; quit us like men,

Cecil M. Foote died at the
Western Hospital, Tuesday,
Nov, 80, 1897, of typhoid te-
yer in the 26th year of his
age. His remains were buried
at Bethany graveyard, near
New Castle. The funeral
service at the Hospital was
conducted by Rev. VIM. Jor-
dan, of the Baptist Church,
of which deceased had been
a member since early boy
hood. The remains were af.
forwards taken in charge by
Bolivar Camp, Woodmen of
the World, and carried to the
grave, where the beautiful
and impressive burial service
of tue Woodmen was read, in
the presence of large num-
Der of sorrowing friends.
Cecil Foote was the young
est son of John L. FOote,
ST., and a brother of John l.,
Foote, Jr., the present Reg
lister of Hardeman County.
At the time of his death ht
was acting in the capacity OF
attendant at the Western
Hospital. He was held in
high esteem, not only by the
officials of that institution.
but by all who knew him.
He discharged every duty
faithfully and was exceeding
ly popular. He was never
known to speak i'll of any
one, or to use a profane word
in truth, he was a model
young man, and his untimely
death is deeply regretted.

sympathy to his aged father
and TO his sisters and BROTH
ers.

A. Plea For Good Times.

"Hard Times Hard Times
Come again no more -
We all sing it, we hope it, but
do we know what hard times are?
We sing it while we eat beef steak
at twenty cents pound, oysters at
fifty cents a dozen, and three kinds
of bread at the same meal; we shout
it while we smoke cigars, two for
quarter; we think it while we
stretch our comfortable legs onBrus-
sells carpet, before a blazing CRATE,
with well-groomed boys and expen-
sively clad girls around us; we shout
it to our neighbors across our
smoothe lawns, or through our plate
glass windows; we groan it as we
read our morning and evening pa
pers, our plentiful magazines and
our costly libraries; we dream of it
in our soft and springy beds, while
our coal fed furnace keeps the whole
house warm; we maunder about it
in our well equipped offices, shout it
through our telephones, ring the
changes on it as we send kilograms
and take expensive summer outings.
We meet it in our political, social,
literary and business conventions,
and ring the changes on it while we
are spending fortunes with railroads,
hotels, restaurants, and places of
amusements.
And yet, in these days we do not
know what hard times are; we think
we do, but we do not.
The writer knows of time with
in his rememberence-and he is no
patriarch, when, in one of the
richest parts of one of the most
favored states in the Union, the
whole town of some two thousand
inhabitants possessed altogether
not over $500 in money; all exchange
was by barter; there was no cash
payment because there was nothing
to pay with. Among the richest
families-and there were many who
thought themselves well-to-do, beef
steak was a once-a-week visitor;
round beef luxury; oysters were
an unheard of dainty; corn bread was
the usual, wheat the rare food; the
cheapest pipe tobacco was dissipa
ton; cold bedrooms, scanty wood
fires, woolsey and calico were in the
house; 6xs broken panes were helped
put by hats, old papers and rags;
weekly paper an extravaganza, and |
served many families. Ten books
made a good, fair library; beds |
we're Slated or corded; rag carpets
we're occasional, ingram scarce; and
Brussels tradition; the sole vaca-
ion was the ride to the annual picnic
n the one horse shay; nobody had
ime, money or heart for conventions
II amusements. We men worked
rom 5 A. NJ. to 7 P. M. (the arts
ocrats shortened this time by two
ours) and the women worked
all hours.

Newspaper History.

EDITOR BULLETIN-As an occa.
sional contributor to your paper,
and always an interested reader of
it, the writer has read with pleasure
the letters of Messrs. Hooper and
Nuckolls in recent issues In regard
to the history of Hardeman County
newspapers.
Mr.. Nuckolls gives the name of
the first paper as the Sentinel, but
fails to mention the date of its ap-
pearance. Mr.. Hooper gives the
name of the first paper as the News,
in 1926, then skips to 1887 with
the Sentinel. There is where an
objection is raised, as the writer
has in her possession a copy of the
Bolivar Palladium, published in
1881 by Messrs. Grant 81 Campbell
cat $3.50 yearly in advance, $500
in six months, or So. so at the ex-
piration of the year" Nothing was
said as to the rate of interest charg-
ed to delinquent subscribers. Not
being a citizen of Bolivar at the
time, no more definite facts can be
given than that the Palladium was
certainly one of the early papers of
the county; and in behalf of the de-
parted glories and masterpieces in
the way of Bolivar literature, being
revived by the BULLETIN, mention
OF so important a fact could no
longer be suppressed.
Long may the BULLETIN live and
prosper, bearing as it does its golden
palladium of truth, honesty and
justice to all, and malice toward
none. 4 FRIEND.

Bachelors" Communication

EDITOR BULLETIN-One of the
most pleasant periods of my life was
spent in dear old Hardeman, hence
to that county my mind often re-
verts. 1t is true that some, who
differ with US concerning the finan-
cial question, are as narrow minded
as to consider that we would laugh
at their calamity and rejoice at the
nations downfall; but such is not
true. In fact the difference of
opinion on this great question arises
from desire to cause our country
to blossom as the rose-some be-
,ieVing in one devise to accomplish
that end, others opposing, simply
because they believe it will be
fraught with danger to our mutual
interests. In my opinion, high
prices, under the present standard,
can be attained by resorting to
primitive methods. The sound of
the spinning wheel has been hushed
by the motive power that drives
the myriad of machines, invented
by the ingenuity of man, with
which the old-time wheel can not
cope. The hand-loom is a thing of
the past. The scythe and the era
die, the sowing of seed by hand,
he raking of hay with the pitch
fork is no longer practiced, and the
abandonment of their uses was forced
by the introduction of labor-saving
machines. The result is obvious,
namely, an increase in production
and decrease in the price of ar
ticles produced. Therefore, in or
der to obtain high prices, it is only
necessary to decrease the production
and increase the cost of producing.

him to prove, by either sacred or

was ever essential to cause one to
be eligible either to an elective or

a reason Paul's appeal to Caesar, in
order that he might be separated
from his wife as long as possible,
there would be some FEASIBILITY in
the position taken; but such thing
unsupported by revelation will
hardly prove convincing. In some
instances it might be considered |
presumptious for a young lady to
use the possessive case when refer

In MIemoriam.
ICONTRIBUTED,l

The lives that are lived are in
tended as examples or warnings,
and as an example for the young, l
should like to be able to picture be-
fore the readers of this paper the
life of an old resident of this COM
munity, who was buried from St.
James Church on Thanksgiving
Day.
Mrs. Anne Fitzhugh Fentress
was the daughter of DR.. Edmund
Fitzhugh and Eliza Roberts, who
removed to this county from Vir-
ginia-he being of the well-known
family of the Fitzhughs-kin to
George Washington and the Lees.
The mother and father died within
short while of one another and
left six children, who were raised
by the fathers brother and sister,
and lived on the Fitzhugh place in
this county.
ssMiss Anne" as she was famil-
iarly called by all who knew her
here, married Mr.. John Fentress,
and was a devoted wife. He was
taken from her during the war,
leaving her with the care and re-
sponsibility of five small children.
Amidst many trials and struggles,
with great cheerfulness, she accom-,
plished this task. Such an equita-
bic temper as is seldom seen, she
always maintained. She was Meth
er elated by prosperity nor cast down
by adversely. She was very hospi-
table, exemplifying the proverbial
old ante bellum Virginia type. All
were welcomed to her house, and
to many it seemed a second home
She was always cheerful and always
willing to grant a favor, and the
young people knew where to go for
an innocent frolic. Her cheerful
industry was an example to all; her
hands were never idle. She be-
longed to a family of devoted
church people, and was ever in her
accustomed place at services. Her
unselfishness was exhibited in a long
life of seventy-two years, and when
she became unable to work any
more, her thoughts and cares were
still occupied in the service of 9th
ers. She died at the residence of
her son, in st. Louis, surrounded
by her surviving children, grand
children and loving friends, with a
smile upon her lips at the happy re-
ception she was to meet in the here
after with her loved relatives and
friends who had preceded her
Her desire to live was so that she
might help to rear her little mother
less grand children, but God willed
otherwise. "She had fought good
light" and "He who doeth all |
things well" took her unto himself
to rest, for none needed it more
after so long and unselfish life of
owing service for others. We have
lot said all we could say of our dear
friend, but her old friends will re-
member the many lovely traits of
her character that we have not
.ouched upon. This is only a sprig
