James Tillett. one Of our truest,
best men, was paralyzed recently
and is not expected to live. He is
specchless and eats nothing. sold
/ Kitty" Tillett, as he is Familiarity
known, having never selected a fe-
male companion to lavish his love
upon his affections are naturally
bestowed upon his friends, as well
as every thing about him. He loved
every animal on his farm and is in
turn loved by them. lie is not u
devOtee of orthodox religion, his
mind and heart being too large and
broad for orthodox opinions. Exit
ty" Tillett is a disciple of nature,
a lover of the good and beautiful,
a worshiper at the shrine of liber-
ty; a man who can endure but de
spise hypocrisy, and one who will
be missed when he takes his de
parture from among us.
The picnic at Myers grove near
Grange City was attended by an
immense throng of people. The
Corinth Brass Band furnished the
music, and while the boys did
splendidly and made many friends
by their dealings with us, we kind
ly suggest to them that a practical
teacher of band music would prove
a great benefit to them in the rem
ditiOn Of their pieces. This sug-
gestiOn from one of their very best
friends we are sure will be appre-
ciated by the boys, yas@sSe as'
clever as any young men we eve
met
The orators of the occasion were
Elders Tinsley, Hart, and our good
old Brother Zimmerman. MIR. Tins
ley delivered an Grafton worthy of
Grattan, Burke or Webster when
patriotic pulses bea; highest. While
his mastery effort was neither
heard nor appreciated by large
portion of the audience who were
on pleasure bent, those who we're
near the speakers stand eagerly
drank at the sparkling fountain of
his eloquence. 1t is lamentable
fact that picnic is the worst place
on earth to deliver an grafton.
There is neither order, attention
nor interest manifested among pic
nickers who are out for a gay time,
and most of them are seldom in "a
mood to enjoy lofty lights of ora
tory, however grand in architectu-
raj design, gorgeous in rhetorical
) construction, or elaborate in finish.
Dinner was served on the ground
and numerous we'll filed baskets
we're emptied of their contents with
amazing rapidity. Every body
seemed to have plenty to eat and
partook of the enjOyments Of this
festive occasion in a good, old fasl.-
Toned way, among Gods peculiarly
blessed old-fashioned people.
The booth privileges were secured
by Gault, Wells & Co., of Owings-
Vile, and we learn that they had
something left after paying the
committee of the Wyoming Church
S65 for same.
The best of order was maintained,
little drinking being done on or
near the grounds, and, on the
whole, it may be said that this was
in reality a success. Some little
complaint was made that the Lutte
like voice Of OsmoHd f. Byron was
. not heard resouHdiEg among the
mighty branches Of gigantic oaks
and then falling like "a gentle mist
from heaven upon multitude who
left at home their umbrellas which
said multitude needed to keep said
flowing elOquence from inundating
n their ears, but when il became
known that the aforesaid gentleman
had consumed an overwhelming
majority of his eloquenee in per
suading fair daughter of the
House of Bourbon to take an ac-
tive part in his ups and downs
along his terrestrial pathway, fur
