Memory hells are rinuins softly,
sweet their tones tonight,
As the twinkling stars above us shed a ra
diance clear and bright.
Wings of magic bear mo backward, to my
child-hood's happy hours, .
When the wky was full of rainboys, and my
pathway full of flower.
Halcyon days, when hearts are brightest.
come unbidden, save as night
With u mystic power entices from the
realms of joy and light,
very star that beams with lustre, is a
bright spot in life's way-
Long forgotten, now remembered, as the
duties of today.
Every bird that chiri a night song, is a
voice long hushed anil still,
And the breezes gently sighing, seem one
long bewildering trill
In the music years have silenced, and it's
melody reveals
To the soul emotions purest that n mortal
ever feels.
Night with all her fascination, foreign to
the sunlight's gleams,
,'ha.scsofl'life's many shadows, till they are
but fitful dreams.
Care and sorrow fade ami vunu-h. fancy-
land is ours to seek,
When the stars are o'er us whispering to the
dew drops at our feet.
Were our natures freer, purer, we could
hear the moon beams fall
On the tlowers God in kindness, gives to
cheer and comfort nil.
nd in hearing, we would gather wisdom
kin to angel's lore-
Revel in a land of beauty, far beyond earth's
din and roar.
Trflc, the sunshine of tomorrow, will bestir
us for life's fray.
Present duties, prevent action, summon,
and we must'obey. 1
Rut the soul is almost Kiddy, with the rush
ing, struggling tide.
And we welcome restful night lime in it's
shadows would abide.
So, me thinks 'twill Ik; when neariug to the
night time of our life.
And we sit in peace and quiet, almost
through with toil and strife-
Waiting for the "Come up higher," catching
strains divinely sweet.
From that shore beyond whose borders all
the pure in heart shall meet;
Visions of a crown immortal waiting for the
weary brow.
Will with radiant splendor glisten, like the
stars above us now.
And when "Tomorrow's" sunshine, dawns
upon us, we shall be
Safe within the"fioldcn City" safe through
all eternity.

Obituary .
Died, Harry K. Williams, at his
father's residence on Sinitliville
Street, McMinnville, Tenn., Aug.
IS'.iii, aged HO years, 10 months and o
days. J larry was one of the brightest
boys in every way, honest, truthful
affectionate, and a perfect gentleman
in every way.
His parents moved from Nebraska
to Tennessee a few years ago, hoping
that a change in climate would be
beneficial to him. Hut death claims
its victim in every clime. During his
illness and after Harry was confined
to his room and bed, he manifested
the most patient submission, al
ways kind to those about him, always
cheerful and hopeful.
He passed away peacefully without
a struggle. A father, mother, broth
f r, and sister mourn his absence.
The funeral service took place Sun
day afternoon, Aug. 3, at the resi
dence, conducted by Revs. H. L,
Walling and A. I). Phillips, and he
was laid to rest in the new cemetery
in McMinnville.
The family desire to express their
sincere thanks lor the kind attention
and sympathy of their neighbors dur
ing Harry's sickness, and at the
funeral and the grave.

School FinidH.
Following is the apportionment of
public school funds to the various
districts of Warren county for 1890,
being $1.90 for each pupil of school
age according to the scholastic popu-
ation of the districts as reported to
me:

Dr. Ritchey has hadquitea num
ber of inquiries from people at a dis
tance regarding the accommodations
at Ren Lomond. There is no doubt
that a large hotel on Ren Lomond,
properly run, could oe filled to over
flowirig every summer, and if the
stockholders' will put up a hotel the
op of the mountain would soon be
dotted with many neat cottages.
While we consider hogs at large
upon the streets about the greatest
nuisance any town can be afflicted
with, we cannot countenance the
cruelty some parties are practicing on
these dumb brutes around town. A
number of hogs have been very bad
ly scalded, and one or two cows have
been similarly treated. It is a repre
hensible deed, to say the least of it
His hogship has rights in McMinn
ville superior to any citizen or tax
payer. He can besmear anybody's
fence or house with mud and filth,
root up the park, streets, yards, ga
dens or any where else he can
his nose, make a nuisance of himself
on the sidewalks, obstruct those tho
roughfaresat his own sweet will, and
there is no law to prevent these
things, or punish him. If any citi
zen or visitor to the town should
commijtany of these nuisances or dep
redations he would be fined or im
prisoned. The hog is superior to the
citizen in McMinnville, and we are
for protecting him in his rights
until public opinion reverses the
order of things, and the city counci
is prevailed upon to give citizens a
least equal rights with the hog, or
else curtail some of the hog's priv
ileges. We rather lean to the latter
plan.
The reception given by Mr. ant
Mrs.. J. P. Rostick at their pleasant
home on Rebel Hill Friday night of
last week, In honor of Mr. Thos. K.
Rostick and bride, was full of unusual
delights and pleasures to the twelve
or fifteen happy couples present. The
variegated light of many Chinese
lanterns which decorated the yard,
the brilliant illumination cf the
rooms and halls, the brightness of
many sparkling eyes and the beauti
ful costumes of the sweet and be
witching possessors of the aforesaid
bright eyes, all conspired to lend
that charm and gladness to the eve
ning which make hours pass on fleecy
wings as but moments. It might
have all passed as a fairy scene
but for the havoc and desolation
which they created with the supper
tables. So toothsome and delicious
was every dish served, all were con
sumed with a hearty relish.not mere
ly minced and tasted. It was indeed a
sumptions feast of gowl things, equal
In every particular to the appetites of

The Colored City School.
At a mass meeting of the colored
people of McMinnville held in the A.
M. E. Church last Monday night,call-
ed by the Board of Education to con
sider the interests of the colored city
school, the following resolutions were
offered and adopted with but two dis
senting voices : .
Resolved, That it Is the sense of the
colored people of McMinnville, that
the school for colored people be sus
pended for one year, and the funds
apportioned to them be applied to the
erection of a new school building, and
that said building be erected on the
same grounds as the old building, if
practicable.
Resolved further, That it is the de
sire of the colored people that the
school shall be separate and apart
from any church building.
J. A. Johnson,
R. B. Ross. t
The colored people are to be con
graculated upon their unanimity upon
the question. The course indicated
in the resolutions is unquestionably
the very best one to pursue under the
circumstances. Everyone recognizes
that it is a great misfortune to sus
pend the school for a year, but no
suitable building can be secured with
out a considerable outlay of money
for repairs, and should a building be
rented and school continued, the
same difficulties would present them
selves a year hence as now, and it is
far better for the masses of the color
ed children to suspend the school for
the ensuing year, and then have a
comfortable, substantial and perma
nent building. If the colored people
will only remain patient and harmo
nious on the question all will be well
in the end.
