the finest known vandyke of Charles

Peculiarly charming are some of the
family groups. notably tPeilegrini's de-
lightful painting of the children of
the first duke of Manchester; while
Reynolds presentment of the fourth
duchess and her boy, as very fully
attired Venus and Cupid, is one of the
most characteristic and graceful works
of that great portraitist.
Rooms 81 historical Interest.
The rooms which have from time
immemorial been set apart for the use
of the reigning duchess of Manches-
ter bear many characteristic traces of
their two most recent owners. The
present duchess of Devonshire was
very fond of Kimbolton, and was init
mately acquainted with the great his
torical traditions of the place. Con-
suelo duchess of Manchester, as Lady
Vaudeville, was brought home to Kim
bolton as a bride, and, after her hus-
bands accession to the title, her ex-
quisite taste was free to disport itself
in the delightful rooms which will
now pass into the possession of the
new duchess, who will do well to alter
as little as may be the charming bou-

Shakespeare, in some immortal lines,
depicted the dream of the imprisoned
queen whom angels visited at Kim
bolton with messages of peace and
comfort Intimately associated also
with Queen Catherine is the quaint
chapel where she spent so many hours
of her lonely days praying in vain that
the presence of her only child latter
ward Queen Nary might not be de-
MED her. And among other interest
ing relics of the Spanish queens So
journ and death at Kimbolton is a
great chest, which seems to have been
one CT her travelling trunks, and
which, owing, perhaps, to the fact
that the poor lady took so few jour
neys, is in excellent preservation; this
interesting relic is placed at the bot
tom of the grand staircase and always
arouses much curiosity in the minds
Of fair visitors.
Young Dukes Study.
The room which the young duke of
Manchester uses as his study was fit
ted up by his grandfather, the sew
enth duke. 1t contains a valuable
collection of both old and modern
books and also some curious souvenirs
of Napoleon Ill, who was the late
dukes intimate friend, one such mel
ancholy relic being an ivy leaf picked
by the emperor on the day which fol-
lowed the battle of Sedan. At Kimbo1-
ton successive dukes of Manchester
have gratified the family love of sport
In the white hall, often used by the
seventh duke and by his duchess (the
ent duchess of Devonshire) as a sit
ting room, are some splendid sporting
trophies.

ROBINS0N'S FIRE SALE.
Large Crowds In Daily Attendance
To Continue Indefinitely.


Robinson's FIRE sale, which started
last Tuesday, caught the people, and
by droves they fill6d the store until the
doors had to be closed in order to han
die the crowd and allow the clerks to
wait on those inside. Day by
day the bargain seekers increase in
number until it ID almost impossible
for pedestrians to pass in front of the
store.
The harvest of bargains the fire and
water cut the price on is SO large that
it will take many days to make a clean
sweep Of them all. Six new clerks
have already been added to the force
to wait on the trade that daily visits
the store. Mr.. Robinson informed a
Times man that be expected to close
out his entire stock at these cut prices.
People who are looking for bargains
will find them at Robinson's if they
have the cash, as this is the emily ticket
required to gain admittance to this
great fire bargain show.
Those who wait until next week will
fare better and get bigger bargains
than those who purchased this week,
as the worst damaged goods have been
sold, and .the others which are a little
water damaged or . srliie schorched, /,
are going ut the same price.

energetic Medical Doctors, and / beg
OF you little space to say few words
in regard to CHAMBERS which have been
and still are in Greenville and doubt
not in the surrounding country.
Chambers, as you all know, is very
contagious disease, and while the loss
of mule or horse is not of as much
consequence as human life, when one
has the misfortune to have CHAMBERS
among his stock it represents good
many dollars and cents The only
remedy known is to destroy the affect
ed animal and burn their bodies and
thoroughly disinfcct the effected stable
or building.

heart of the city which is great
source of contageon from the fact tha.
animals effected with glanders have
been condemned and destroyed and
nothing whatever in the way of disin.
fecting done to the buildings.

should be done to protect the stock

Gold in Mississippi.

The jackson correspondent to the
New Orleans States sends that paper
the following interesting item:
s4Mr. Charles Zeigler, manager of the
Jackson compress, reports the discov-
cry OF gold in paying quantities in the
southern part of the State. He declines
to reveal the place of discovery, but
brought to jackson yesterday a sample
of the crude ore in what is known as
the gold dust form, and when submit
ted to local assayist it proved to be
twenty-five carets fine. The metal is
unquestionably from sand deposit and
Mr.. Zeigler says that he feels confident
that it exists in sufficient quantities to
be worth developing. He will leave
during the later part Of the week to
make further Investigations. No clue
is given to the location of Zeigler's dis
covery except that it is thirty eight
miles from the railroad, and this means
either the New Orleans and Northeast
ern or Gulf & Ship Island system.

GOOD ROADS CONVENTION.
To Be Held Here on the goth and
21st VIII Be Well Attended.

The meeting of the Good Roads
convention in this city is only eight
days off, and we look for representa-
tive crowd to witness the work and at
tend the meeting.
From what we have heard we are a
little afraid that the committee is
leaving too much of the work OF pre-
pairing for the convention for the
mayor to do. This is lot as it should
be. Every man should shoulder his
part of the work and carry it through.
We have asked for the program as de-
cided upon for the meeting, but none
has yet been furnished us. However,
we hope to publish it in full in our
next issue.
Letters inviting planters and officials
have been sent out, and judging from
the attendance in other cities where
conventions have been held, large
number will attend here.

much less.
The larger portion of the lemons sod
in the United States comes from Italy
as they are subject to the same duty as
those from Cuba. There is no reason
why Cuba should not be a more desira'
BILE place to raise lemons because the
freight rates are much less.
The demand for lemons and lines Is
constantly on the increase and the ter
ritory for their production is on the de-
crease. This fact will cause the indus
try to be paying one. Before the
fine groves in Florida were ruined
MANY of them were very profitable

$4,000 per acre.

the trees will grow ten months In a
year, they will come into bearing
sooner than in the United States
Good trees will bear some fruit the
second year after planting, ana VIII
have quite crop the third year.
The raising of lines and lemons is
certainly an inviting industry as 1t ap-
pears today. Good lands can be OBJ
tanned in Cuba or the Isle of Pines Tor

little labor to get them ready for plant

DEATH OF A
GOOD CITIZEN
Mr.. St. |. Coppes Died on
Wednesday Night.
BURIED IN vIcKsBuRC.
The Deceased Was One Of The Most
Prominent Men In The State.
Died Suddenly.

The death of Mr.. St. L. Coppee which
occurred at his home last Wednes lay
night was surprise to his family AND
many friends throughout the city.
Some six weeks ago Mr.. Coppee was
affected With the grip and before it left

Is years, 10 years Of which he has been
in Greenville. At the time of his death
he was employed as an engineer on the

public schools. Mr.. Coppee was a
gentleman of the highest school and
made friend Of all he met. According
to his means he was one of the most
public spirited citizens we have ever
met and in his death Greenville loses
one of its best citizens. In feelings OF
respect Prof. Bass let out the public
schools OF the city and at II o'clock the
teachers and pupils assembled in .
body at the depot to pay their last
tribute to his remains, which were
shipped to Vicksburg. the home of his
wife, for interment. Mr. Dan Hebron,
of Vicksburg. came up to accompany
Mrs. Coppee and children. Those who

go should take the Wabash for a de-
lightful trip. The short line rate from

MISS QUINN IS THE WINNER.

The contest to determine the most
popular young lady started by the
Knights of Pythias closed at 1890 to-
day, and the honor fell upon Miss Celia
Quin, the beautiful daughter of Mar
shall Quin, head of our city police
force. The number of votes secured
by Miss Quin was 678, while her near
est opponent, Lady D. Shelton, receiv-
ed 652. The contest toward the close
got very interesting, and had it lasted
week longer there is little doubt but
what double the number of votes would
have been cast. The presentation OF
the manicure set to Miss Quin will be
done next week during the meeting OF
Grand Lodge. Below is the votes.
