DIED IN NEW MEXICO.

The death of Wallace Grissom which
occurred at this place last Friday night
ut E30 o'clock was not surprise to his
many friends of this community who
stood about his bedside hoping and pray
ing, that the life of one so young might
be spared. Every thing that loving par
ents could do, was done, but all earthly
efforts were unavailing, and the spirit
of Wallace went to meet the God who
gave it.
Last spring while i'll college at Leba-
non Tenn. his health failed, compelling
him toreturn home. The following Au-
gust seeing his health was no better, he
came to.New Mexico hoping to regain
his health
The deceased was son of DR.. and
Mrs. w. T. Grissom, native Of Adair
Co. He was 10 yrs mos old, and
throughout his young life was known as
a true Christian and faithful friend.
He was favorite among his school
mates having attended several terms in
Columbia.
Wallace died as he had lived, an hon.
est boy, leaving an abundance of evil
dence that he was ready for the great
Change to his Maker in peace. He was
a member of the Presbyterian Church
having professed religion when quite
young. To his bereaved parents, broth
ers and sister, I'VE tender our sincere
sympathy and feel that it is our duty,
as well as privilege, to say that his
standing, his character, in all his rela-
tons to man, had never been stained by
a disreputable deed; that good boy has
gone from us-a young man we all loyed
and respected.

CHRISTMAS GREETING.

Christmas is here with all of it's
sacred memories to those who are well
on the way of their earthly existence;
it is here with its joys and gladness to
those who are full of youthful expecta-
tions. 1t brings sentiment and refec-
ton to the aged, festivity and myrth
to the youth. The one looks backward
on thine in its fight and reviews the
passing years as they have vanished to
the beat of parting time. Memories of
Sweet Long ago" the joys, the Ssor-
rows puncture the present and they
live as it were In the shades of the paSt,
Back to the Star of Bethlehem, thes
babe in the manger, the Christ whoN
came to redeem the world, the mind
can not escape, and in reviewing this
event, of which Christmas day COM
memorates, the joys of the future-be-
yond this vale of tears, opens up the
heart of thankfulness, praise and hope.
The young. flushed with life, mix and
mingle in the festiviti es of the present
with but little thought of the flight of
time, the sacredness of this eventful
day or the uncertainty of the morrow.
1t is JOY, it is pleasure and the world
moves on to endless eternity.
Christmas, the greatest day of all for
tokens of love ana esteem, for gifts
and kindly remembrances is fittingly
kept by Christian, people, for the great
est gift from God to man was given on
this day. "Behold how good and how
pleasant for brethren to dwell togeth-
er in unity" how pleasant it is to kind
ly cheer the saddened heart, to inspire
hope, to broaden love, to cheer the dis
consulate and unfortunate.
The News give all word of cheer; it
bids every one of its many readers God
speed in all of their laudable undertake
ings and trusts that noble purposes may
actuate in all the duties of life, both
public and private. Wishing you a
happy, merry Christmas we can do no
more. Yours truly, The News.

BLOODLEss BATTLE.
Editor News:

Editor News
Great events cast their shad-
ows before them. So the shad-
ow of Christmas was thrown over
the little town of Russell Springs
last night so dark that the super
stitous persons of theltown were
up till midnight listening for
Gabriel to 'toot" his trumpet.
The North end of town under
the command of Gen. ]. G. Pop
plewell made a charge with
roman candles and fire crackers
on the South end, which was not
prepared for a battle, and Gen.
R. G. Woods ordered a hasty re-
treat in every direction.
The retreating army 'ssgathered
at Snow & Popplewell's Store
and obtained arms to ssmeet the
North, a battle followed in which
Lieut. Gen. Cleo Shirrill of the
South was severely wounded.
The South then invested an
other retreat, in which Sargent
Avery Stephens made two close
pursuits and was taken through
three degrees of the Bird gang"
by the left wing of the South's
army under Colonel Levy Smith.
The last, retreat was made by
Gen. Woods who..made a center
table out of his coat-tail while
being pursued by Lieut. Gen.
Welby Absher and Colonel Hale.
The boys are hardly satisfied
with the results of last night and
rumors of war are heard in every
direction, and it is probable that
there will be hot times to night
if fire works last. e.,

The funeral services of Miss Sallie
Patterson at Jamestown, last Wednes-
day, was largely attened. The express
sion of sorrow was deeply manifested,
every body in the large congregation
dropping tears of sympathy as the re-
mains of the dead, clothed in white,
resting in a white plush casket, was
about to be borne to the city cemetery.
The deceased was not only a favorite
of the white population, but her happy
disposition had won the love of all the
colored people of the community, and
it was an affecting sight to see fifteen
or twenty colored women and girls and
a few pen servants, who had worked
about the hotel, weeping over the love-
ly departed. The sermon preached by
Rev. A. R. Kasey was touching and
consoling to the mother, grandmother,
sisters, relatives and friends.
