Burglars Enter Country
Residence.

AT late hour, Thursday night, bur-
glars were discovered in the residence of
Mr.. Brutus White, on Barnes Mill pike,
and but for the fact that Mr.. Whites
daughter discovered the presence in the
house of these marauders, many valua-
BILE and cherished articles would have
been missing. An entrance to the build
ing was gained by means of ladder,
which was placed at one Of the second
story windows. Hardly had an entrance
been gained before Miss White was
aware of the intruders. She gave the
alarm and the midnight visitors made a
hasty retreat Capt. V. G. Mullikin, on
request of Mr.. White, came here Friday
with his celebrated blood hounds,
"Queen" and Pearl and they were
taken Immediately to the residence and
placed on the trail of the burglars. This
was followed through the fields to the
pike, where the dogs lost the scent.

Sweet Pea No, RoxaI choIos.

In vain did gardeners and horticul.
turlsts In England try to push the
claims of the sweet pea as a corona
tion flower. Queen Mary has decided
that the pink carnation is the blossom
she will carry.
The Windsor, which is a deep pink,
is the carnation she particularly fav,
ors, but the Lawson, a cerise carna
tion; the Enchantress, which is pale
pink, and the Mrs Joliffe, which is sal
mon pink, will also be fashionable du,
ring the season. The Worshipful Com.
pany Of Gardeners have begged to be
allowed to present the coronation bou.
Quet and the queen has agreed to ac.
cept 1t from them, so they will keep
the rarest and most perfect Windsor
carnations obtainable for the royal
bouquet.
abf tv 1 Ind rdlu rdl rdlouoouo
One of her reasons for preferring
the carnation to the sweet pea as the
flower to be used is that the weather
will probably be very warm at the
time of the coronation and the sweet
pea fades very easily, while the car
ration does not droop In the heat.

they tell us that is life. Tomorrew
the bird lies cold and stiff at the
root of the tree. 1t will sing its
song no more. They tell us that
is death. A babe is born into the
world. 1t opens its glad eyes to
the light of day, and smiles in the
face of its loving mother. And
they tell US that is life. The child
wanders from the cradle into the
sweet fairyland of youth, and
dreams among its flowers. But soon
youth wakes into manhood, and his
soul is afre with ambition. He
rushes into struggle of real life, and
wins his way from the log cabin to
the gubernatorial chair. The light
nings begin to leap from the gather
ing clouds of war, the thunders be-
gan to fall around him, but be
stands like a lion at his post, and
when the dreadful shock at Shiloh
came, where the flowers of Tennessee
are rushing to glory and the grave,
through the rifted smoke see him
kneeling on the bloody field with
the peerless Albert Sidney Johnston
dying in his arms.
At last his flag goes down in
blood and tears; he is exiled from
his country. But the clouds soon
clear away, and he returns in
triumph, to be clothed by the people
with greater power than ever before,
and to SIT like an uncrowned king
In the highest council of the nation,
until his raven locks turn white as
snow.
But the scene shifts again, and,
as we are called from our revelry
to stand around the coffin of our
matchless senator, there are tear
