Harsis Chappell and Miss Carrie M. Browne, of Madison. We thought then that two devoted hearts were never more happily mated and that a nobler-hearted man had never linked his destiny with a more pure and lovable woman. In common with their many friends, we wished ! them a long, happy and prosperous life. | But alas for human hopes! “Man proposes j and God disposes;’’ | On the 13th inst., at her native place in Madi son, the young life of Mrs. Chappell went out. J The hectic flush upon her cheek gave the sad j warning weeks before she was called to go home, but her affliction was borne with that Christian fortitude which had been instilled into her pure I mind almost from infancy. In her death one of j the shining lights of the Baptist church has been I extinguished. | Mrs. Chapped was the daughter of Rev. Geo. | Y. BJowne, one of the leading Baptist ministers and one of the most prominent educators in this state. He was for many years president of the female college at Madison. Mrs. Chappell was born at Madison in January, 1857. She was a most lovely and beautiftil girl, and was a general favorite in the town. On the 26th of December, 1883, she plighted her troth to Prof. J. Harris Chappell, of this city, and the vows made “until death do us part’’ were kept with all the sacred- uess that a true woman possesses. Prof. Chap pell was called to Jacksonville, Ala., to take charge of the State Normal school there, and this was their home at the time of her death. But she preferred that her life should end in the home of her childhood’s happy days, and she was taken to Madison, where she died Saturday night. Her remains were brought to this city for in terment, and it was a sad concourse of friends who yesterday assembled to pay the last sad tribute to departed worth. When they remem bered with what pleasure they greeted her com ing to us so brief a time before, it gave poignancy to their sadness. The very many friends of the heart-stricken husband feel deeply for him in his hour of dork bereavement. One wing of his eagle is broken, but there is another window in heaven. May he trust in that source for conso lation from which only true consolation can come. The funeral took place from the First Baptist church yesterday morning at 10 o’clock, Rev. It. II. Harris, the pastor, conducting the exercises. The pall-bearers were Prof. A. P. Mooty, Dr. C. E. Estes, G. E. Thomas, Esq., W. C. Coart, L. L. Cowdcry and S. B.

SKEWING INFORMATION. A Oaano Man Wants N. K. M. to be More Explicit —A Fen Qucrrle* for Information. In the Enquibbr-8un of the 13th the fol lowing appears in a letter dated Nances, June 12, and signed N. E. M.: “I am making some experiments in farming this year with different kinds of guano. The people ought to make their own guano and save from ten to twenty dollars per ton by doing their own mixing. A formula that I am using is 200 pounds acid phosphate, 100 pounds cotton seed meal and 50 pounds kainit. It cost from eighteen to twen ty-one dollars per ton, mixed at home, and I have sample rows of it and other guanos side by side. It is as good, if not better, than the other that cost one bale of cotton per ton. Then why not do our own mixing and save from 25 to 50 per cent.?’ - This is rather heavy on the guano dealer and manufacturer and is such an important discovery we would like to hear further from him in answer to the following questions: 1st. What is the name of the phosphate used? From whom did he buy, and what price did he pay, cash or time ? 2nd. What brand of kainit? Give name and from whom purchased, price paid and terms of sale, cash or credit ? 3rd. From whom did he buy his cotton seed meal, how much did he pay for it, time or cash? 4th. How much of this mixture did he apply to the acre, and on what kind of crops? 5th. Give name of guano used, from whom pur chased. ami the number of pounds used per acre and kind of crop to which applied, and price paid, time or credit? IfN. E. M. will favor the public with a full answer to the above, we will be better able to judge of the correctness of his conclusions. Come out, N. E.’M., and tell us all about your wonderful discovery. With your permission, Mr. Editor, when N. E. M. answers the foregoing questions I will have something more to say upon the subject of fertil izers and farming. We ought not to write upon such an important question without being fully posted as to the correctness of advice we give to the public and assertions we make in reference to a business in which thousands of dollars are j invested, and which is just as reputable as any i other business pursuit. IfN. E. M. is correct in ! his statements and conclusions, then there is | something wrong and reprehensible in the j manufacture and sale of fertilizers in this com- . inanity at least, and since you have seen proper ; to give N.

Mar- adoption of the constitution of 1877 down to the time when Major Bacon ceased to be a member j of the house he was honestly and sincerely op posed to the regulation of railroads by law. I 1 do believe he was opposed to the railroad com mission bill, and that in appointing members of the railroud committees he made it a point to select a majority of gentlemen whose views accorded with his own. As to his design there may be some doubt, and if he did so appoint his committees I do not insist that it follows that he therefore acted corruptly. I believe that the speaker of the house of representatives of the United States makes it a rule to give his party a majority of one in apppointing committees. Mr. Garrard says “The fact is that this com mittee 11878 and 1879) reported favorably on the railroad commission bill.” If Mr. Garrard will look on page 1135 of the house journal of 1879 he , will see that the committee recommended the passage of a substitute und did not recommend I the passage of the bill that did pass. If he will look on page 128-1 he will see that Mr. Cox, of Troup, moved to strike out the first section of | the committee’s substitute. That Messrs. Fort ami Rankin, who were and are now recognized as the real champions of the railroad commission j bill, at that time voted for that motion, and that the other members of that committee, to-wit • Messrs. Adams, Colley, Hulsey, Pike, Garrard, ! Hanks, Nisbet and Wright voted against it, j and that Mr. Hall did not vote at ; all. On page 1285 he will see that notwithstand- j ing this almost unanimous opposition vote of the | committee tae motion prevailed, and the section I was stricken out. If Mr. Garrard will look on ! page 1295 he will see that after this amendment and some others were made to the committee’s I substitute, the entire substitute was withdrawn i on motion of Mr. Colley, and that the original i bill known as the Rankin bill was then taken up. ! If he will then follow the subject to its final con- j elusion lie will find that this was the bill that I finally passed after various amendments, and he 1 will hardly contend that the withdrawal of j the committee’s substitute was a recommendation of tlie original Rankin bill by a majority of the i committee, when he looks on pages 1364-’5; for i lie will there see that on the passage of the said i railroad commission bill a minority of the com- j mittee only voted for the bill, to-wit; Messrs. Hanks, Hulsey, Rankin, Fort, Garrard and King, j six in all—while Messrs. Hall, Adams, Colley, j Nisbet, Pike, Turner and Wright, seven in all, were present and did not vote for it. It is true that Mr. Hull alone voted in the negative, but Mr. Wright paired with Mr. Tatum, who was for the bill, and the other gentlemen declined to vote. The bill got only eighty-eight votes, a hare necessary majority, and was known to have less than that number, while being verified, and ucceeded only by the ut- in securing a suffi- rotes before the re sale by all druggists.

When they had gotten as far as the market house they became quite unmanageable. They evidently were in their fighting humor, and did not intend quietly to submit to being driven any farther. Quito a large crowd gathered around. They did not, as it happened, do any damage, but it might have been otherwise, and those in charge should take more precautions in the future. One of them got away, and the last heard of him was as he turned a corner up First avenue. The crowd seemed to enjoy the fun without thinking of the danger. Riche* a Smull Part of Life. Rushville Republican.] The monumental mistake of the age is. that the man who does not get rich is a failure. The truth is, in most cases ohr very rich men furnish the most signal examples of failure. They neith er get happiness for themselves out of their wealth, nor make it useful to others. And the most striking fact in their obituary notices is, that they died worth so much money. Too often their death is a gain rather than a loss to the communities in which they have lived their sel fish lives. OI<! New.HpapcrN for Solo. Those who want old newspapers for putting under carpets eau get them at this office at 50 cents a hundred. sep2vtf ; the vote ^ I the friends of the bill sui | most activity and diligenc< I cient number of additional suit was announced. If these gentlemen who did not vote had recommended and favored the passage of this bill it is a litt le strange that they did not vote for it under such circumstances. But their votes all along show conclusively that they were against the bill. Now as to the position of a -majority of the committee of ’80-’81, I have this much to say at present, after reiterating the disclaimer of any intended reflection upon them or any of them as erroneously understood by Mr. Garrard. In ’81 a certain bill passed the senate without a dissenting vote after being amended, empowering and requiring the railroad commis sion in fixing rates on a system of roads to treat them as one line so as to prevent unjust discrim ination against way stations as at that time prac ticed by the Central system in charging a sum of locals instead of equitable through rates. This practice made Macon a sort of toll-gate and was a great hardship on all the way stations. This bill, notwithstanding its unanimous passage by the senate was killed by an adverse report of this house committee, when its friends had no rea sonable doubt of its passage in the house had it not been for this adverse report., because, it being late in the session, under this adverse action, it could get no consideration from the house. I have made my letter unintentionally long, but beg leave to say in conclusion chat my point against Major Bacon in this connection is that whether honestly or dishonestly he has always been in the interests of the railroads and not the people on this great question, and that 1 believe him to bo so now, what he may have said under pressure to the contrary, notwith standing.
