We are pleased to note the fact hat
after many years of struggle against
obstacles almost insurmOuntable, the
Clarks0lle Normal School is rapidly
approaching a stage OF living reality.
A large dormitory of twenty-five or
thirty rooms is nearing competition,
and when the burning summer sun
has cooled sumclently to allow the
students to resume the pursuit of
knowledge next fall, Clarksyille Nor
nal will throw open her doors with a
comp. etc facu ty ana all modern ac-
commodauons This school is under
the auspices OF the Cumberland River
South Kentucky and Middle Tennes-
see Baptist District Association, and
will I'LL a long felt want in this part
of the State. The location Of the
school in this city is wise, as there
are thousands of our people in the
surrounding counties who vii no

Horrible Tragedy.
Strong drink and ungovernable tenn
per combined to produce another hoT-
rible murder among our citizens on
the night of the 26th, ult, when Mrs
James Price put three bullets into the
body of her husband and sent him
into eternity. Price was a hard work
ing man and was buying a home, but
had the unfortunate habit of indulging
in liquor and often went home intox-
icated. The neighbors say that quar-
rels and fights between the two we're
common. When the killing was done
there was no witness. Mrs. Price sid
that her husband came home drunk
and a tight ensued in which he tried
to kill her; and that she shot him in
self-defense. Both of the parties
were members of St Johns Baptist
Church, and Rev. S. W. Toles, the
pastor. was called upon 10 preach the
funeral of the murdered man. OF
course the task was a difficult one,
but the Reverend gentleman met the
difficulty in a mastery manner, by
preaching a most forceful sermon on
"Self- Mastery" The lessons drawn
from the sad occurrence ought 10 be
of great benefit to all who heard the
discourse. The failure of the man 10
master himself had made him the
slave of drink, while the failure Of the
woman to master herself had made
her the slave Of passion and temper
which finally stained her hands in the
blood of her companion.
The Morning Glory Sewing Circle
met at the residence Of Mrs.
Lizzie King on Ninth street, Fri
day. March End. It was a
delightful meeting and after the
business was concluded a tyo-course
menu was served to the great pleasure
of ali present. Mrs. King understands
how to make things suitable to your
taste. The service at Mt Olive last
Sunday was good. Rev. James Fetch
er preached in the morning, and Rev.
E. NJ Lawrence, State Superintendent
of Missions, preached at night 1t
was an excellent sermon. The collec-
tons amounted to s2872. The air
was balmy and the people turned out
well at both services. Our pastor,
Rev. E. N. Seymour, spent two days
in Guthrie last week, attending the
Missionary and Educational meeting,
conducted by Rev J. L. Collins, cur
district missionary. He reports the
meeting a great success. It was held
in Gilfield Baptist Church, Rev. P. d.
Dennis pastor. Rev e. N. Seymour
