Charlie Branan Declines*
On Wednesday last Col. L. F.
Livingston wrote Mr. Charlie
Branan a letter, respectfully invit¬
ing him to a joint canvasof the dis¬
trict and a joint discussion of the
political issues of the campaign now
on before the people.
On Thursday morning Mr. Bran¬
an replied, respectfully declining
to accept the challenge for a joint
discussion of the issue-, of the cam¬
paign.
The Star regrets this, as it has
been repeatedly announced that
Mr. Branan had stated he would
not challenge Col. Livingston for
a joint discussion, but would ac¬
cept a challenge from him. This
left it incumbent upon Mr. Living¬
ston to challenge Mr. Branan or to
have it imputed to him that he did
not care to meet Mr. Branan.
But the challenge has been sent,
Mr. Branan has declined, and all
the fun we had expected from the
joint debate has been knocked into

Death of a Good Lady.
Mrs. Martha A. Taylor, aged 85
years, died at the home ot her son,
Mr. J. T. Taylor, on Corley street,
Tuesday evening, at twenty min¬
utes to four o’clock, of dysentery.
She had been afflicted a long
time, and had suffered agreatdeal,
but she bore her afflictions with
Christian fortitude and submission.
Mrs. Taylor had been a ehris
tain for about 65 years, and .had
served God with a devotion of
love. She had no fear of death,
and her last words were that she
was going to dwell with her Mak
er and her dear husband and ehil
dren that had gone before, and
told her loved ones to meet her in
heaven.
For 25 years she had been a con¬
sistent member of Mt. Pleasant
church, and attended services
there until sickness took her away
from the little church she loved so
well. On the 21 st day of last Oc¬
tober she fell and dislocated her
hip, and since that time she had
never been able to walk, anfl suf
fered terrible agonies that nearly
made her lose her mind ; but she
never complained.
Mrs. Taylor left a host of dear
ones and friends to mourn her sad
departure. Her funeral took place
at Mt. Pleasant church, the ser
vices being conducted by Rev. Dr.
J. S. Moore, of Oxford, and she
was tenderly laid away in her last
resting place, by the side of her
dear companion at the family bury
ing ground at Brick Store.
Peace to the ashes of this good
lady.

The Big Bicycle Race*
The big bicycle race came off
promptly on Wednesday afternoon,
as announced in the Star last
week.
The spin was about five miles,
and the start was from the front of
Covington post office to a point be¬
yond Oxford and return to the
starting point.
Considerable interest w’as taken
in the race, and a large number of
ladies were out to see the start and
the return, while along the route
from Covington to Oxford great
crowds were out to see the boys as
they spun along at a flying pace.
Many were here from a distance
to witness the race, or to take part
in it.
As each rider started out he was
loudly cheered, which caused him j
to spin away like the wind, and
when the victors came back with
a dash they were received with i
wild enthusiasm.
There were seventeen entries and
the prizes were :
First time, one bicycle suit, won
by Otis Ogletree in 16:20.
Second time, one razor and strap,
won by J. E. Gay in 16:30.
Third time, one hair brush, won
by W. B. Ogletree in 17:11
Fourth time, one pair sterling
silver cuff buttons, won by I. P.
Gay in 17:19.
First place, one pair Morgan &
Wright quick repair tires, won by
John W. Lee, Jr.
Second place, one turtle neck
sweater, won by A. B. Simtns.
Third place, one gold fountain
pen. won by C. L. Stanton.
Fourth place, one sweater, won
by J. E. Gay.
Fifth place, one cyclometer, won
by Otis Ogletree.
Sixth place, one silk scarf, won
by Ray Rogers.
In addition to the above prizes
each of the first three men to cross
the tape received one pair adjusta¬
ble toe clamps.
Had it not been for the wind and
heavy dust, much better time would
have been made.

Jim Crow Cars Legal
On Monday last the supreme
court of the United States
handed down its decision in
what is known as the “Jim Crow i I
car case from Louisiana.
The case was one coming under
the statutes of Louisiana, which
requires railroad companies to fur¬
nish separate cars for white and
colored passengers.
The decision of the supreme
court sustains the judgment of the
lower courts, which affirmed the
constitutionality of the law, and
establishes the legality of the Jim
Crow cars.
Which is the Worst ?
If the silver dollar is a 50-eent
dollar, then the gold dollar is
obliged to be a 200-eent dollar, be¬
cause the silver dollar is measured
by the gold dollar.
That is as clear as the “nose on
your face. • 1
Now, which is the worst for the
country ?
The 200-eent gold dollar is the
worst, because there are more
debtors than there are creditors,
and no man can pay his debts
easier with a 200-cent gold dollar
than he can with a good 100-cent
silver dollar.
Is this not correct ?
Will Have to Explain Again
Secretary Carlisle has written
another letter in explanation of his
position on the financial question
1878.
In fact, he has written half a
d ° Zen letterS ° T mOTe ’ ln ex P lana ‘
tion of his radical change of views
now from what they were then.
And still, his explanations don't
exactly explain to the satisfaction
of the people.
Next year we expect the secre¬
tary will be writing letters trying
to explain to the people his pres¬
ent position on the financial ques¬
tion.
But that will be harder for him
to explain than his position in 1878.
Verily, the old man has a hard
time keeping his explanations in
line with his change of view’s.
Heirs Wanted in Texas
The following letter has been re¬
ceived at the Star office, inquiring
about the heirs to a Texas estate:
Editor Star —Several thousand
acres of wild lands have been dis¬
covered w’hich await the claim of

E. Martin, Geo. W. Crowles, Thos.

A. Bradford and Peter Hilt, all
formerly of Georgia ; W. C. M,

John G. Wolf, Wm. T. Malone, E.
Winslow Clark, John J. Chambers
and Hiram Waldrop, whose resi¬
dences are unknown, all of whom
were soldiers in the Texas war of
1836 ; and unless claimants soon
appear the lands will be escheated.
This may interest your readers.

Letter From Texas*
The Star is in receipt of a
letter from a friend in Milam
county, Texas, written on the 14th
inst., just before the great cyclone
in that state, which says the crops
are very fine in that section.
The farmers are nearly all done
laying by their corn, and the cot¬
ton looks well and is being worked
the second time.
The weather is cool and delight¬
ful, and they have not had a real
hot day so far this spring.
Plenty of rain has fallen, and
the crops are very fine in that part
of the state.
Milam county is blessed with a
fine climate, and a cool breeze that
blows every day keeps the atmos¬
phere temperate and pleasant.

vines are from three to seven feet

A Bold Burglary.
On Thursday night, about 10.30 o’clock,
the store of Mr. N. C. Adams was burglarized
by a negro named George Smith, and about
$50 dollars worth of goods taken.
The entrance was effected by temuving a
portion of the glass near the lock on the door,
reaching in, and turning the bolt.
This door opens from the sidewalk, and the
burglary was one of the boldest ever commit¬
ted in our city.
When the negro entered the store, he
struck a light, and went deliberately about the
selection of the articles he wished to carry
away. While in the act of rifling the cash
drawer, with the light in his hand, he was
discovered by the clerks from Messrs. Bagby
& Speer's saloon and Dr. Ben Yancey, who
happened to oe passing the store, and
seeing the light through the window, easily
recognized George Smith as the robber.
An alarm was made, and some of the boys
ran to ihe rear of the store to prevent his es¬
cape by the rear door, while some remained at
the front.
The negro, hearing the men on the outside,
slipped out through the side door, by
which he had entered, and ran off. Friday
morning he was arrested by Sheriff Wright
and lodged in jail. He had some of the
stolen jewelry in his pockets, when arrested,
which he had taken from Mr. Adams.
The goods taken from Mr. Adams’ store
consisted of a suit of clothes, a watch, a lot
of jewelry, and perhaps some other articles,
amounting in all to about $io.
The goods have all been recovered
Smith is now in jail, and has confessed to
breaking into Mr. E. H. Vining’s saloon a few j
nights before, and to other robberies.
He is a bad negro, and will no doubt get
the full benefit of the law.

People often wonder why their nerves are
so weak; why they get tired so easily;
why they start at every slight but
sudden sound; why they do not sleep
naturally; why they have frequent
headaches, indigestion and nervous
Dyspepsia
The explanation is simple. It is found in
that impure blood which is contin¬
ually feeding the nerves upon refuse
instead of the elements of strength and
vigor. In such condition opiate and
