In Memory,
Bro A. C. Partain was born in
Walker Co., Ga., May 28th, 1854.
Ho was married to Miss S. E. Sew
ell, December 6th, 1877, with
whom he lived until his death. lie
died i»t his home in Revilee Valley
Ark Jan. 31st 1897. Bro. Partain
was a devout christain man, and
was a member of the Revilee Bap
tist church and will be adlys miss
ed in his community. He said to
his companion during his illness. I
want to go home, she said to him
we are at home, and he said, I know
we are all at home here, but I want
t> go home to Jesus. His last tes
timony was, 1 leave hero with peace
and good will to all, and in his
last hours he lifted his voice to
God in singing, “How Firm a
Foundation.” Ho leaves a wife
and five children to mourn his
death, but while it is their loss it
is his eternal gain.
Whereas, it has pleased Almigh-
God in his wisdom to remove from
our midst Bro. A. C. Partain and
whereas, in death of Bro. Partain
the Revilee Sunday School has
lost one of its faithful workers, and
one of its most brilliant lights,
and one of her most zealous mem
bers.
Therefore be it resolved, that this
Sunday school extend to the fami
ly of the deceased our heart felt
sympathy and condolence in this
hour of bereavement.
Resolved that his absence in our
Sunday school makes us sad. Yet
it is true he is happy with Christ,
and his three children that have
gone on before.
Resolved futhermore, that a
copy of these resolutions be sent to
our county papers for publication
and that a copy of the same be
sent to the family of the deceased.

Gentle Spring.
Spring is the most birdsingingest
time of the year, and ma is having
our garden plowed, says Charlie
I Slack in the Bristol Courier. Spring
is the time when the apple trees
(come forth with their pretty white
and pink and sweet-smelling-blos
soms, just like all the other trees,
and pa is having the tailor to clean
up the part of his old last summer
j suit which ma has not given to
trampsand other poor folks during
the long, dark and dreary winter
of our discontent. The reason why
I know that spring has come is be
cause Sal has a flower garden to
wear on her head, and a new beau
—she don’t wear the beau, not yet,
but when she does I’ll bet he’ll
wish he was a wobbly-legged red
calf chasing the odoriferous red
clover in the bosky dell. I love
spring; I have a fine time helping
the cook to shake the carpet and
break things up generally. Then
in the spring our old cow always
has a calf, and we get little red
radishes out of our garden, and Sal
can eat onions, juicy and tender,
'ike the soft south wind gently
breathing over a bank of violets,
or something or other of that kind
as the poet has said; if it were not
for spring, it would be colder than
the north pole or hotter than* the
equator all the time. Yes, spring
has came and I’m going to go bare
footed Sunday morning, and in a
few days I’m going a swimming.
There is a whole lot more that I
know about spring, but with these
few lines I will close, hoping to
find you enjoying the same appe
tite for green goods and sanctifica
tion.

A CRISIS BEACHED.
He Turks Demand A Large In
demnity.
The war between Turkey- and
Greece seems to have reached a
crisis, as the following dispatch
from Constantinople t? last Mon
day’s Times will show.
The porte has replied officially
to the note of the powers and de
clined to agree to an armistice un
til the following conditions ?.re ac
cepted :
The annexation of Thessaly, an
indemnity’ of 10,0< 0,000 pounds
and the abolition of the capitu'a
tions. The porte proposes that
plenipotentiaries of the powers
should meet at I’harsahs to dis
cuss the terms of peace, and declar
es that if the conditions are declin
ed the Turkish army will continue
to advance.
The demand for the annexation
of Thessaly is based on the fact
that the province was originally
ceded to Greece on the advice of
the powers with the object of end- !
mg brigandage and Greek incur
sions into Ottoman territory, the
porte believing at the time that the
cessation would attain these ob
jects, but the recent incursions of
Greek bands and the events pre- :
ceding the war have proved to the j
contrary. This is the substance of i
the reply.
The ambassadors met today to
consider the porte’s answer, which
is regarded as raising an extreme
ly grave issue. It is believed that
representations will be made to
the Sultan, personally, to induce a
modification of these terms, but
it is foreseen that this will be very
difficult, owing to the attitude of
the powerful old Turk war party.
It is regarded as quite certain
that the powers will not consent :o
a retrocession of Thessaly. Even
Germany is believed to be resolute
on this point, because it would in
volve a violation of the Berlin
treaty and imperil the peace of the
Balkans.
Altogether the reply of the porte
has caused a suprise. It appears
that during the discussion from
the powers by the council of the
Sultan’s ministers news reached
the council that 3,000 Greeks had
landed at Paloma and were march
ing to Janina with the intention of
co-operating with other forces from
Arta . This created a bad impres
sion among the ministers.
The porte’s reply also demands?. .
in its concluding, an extradition (
treaty with Greece, and that the
ports of Volo and Prevasa be kept (
open for vessels carrying supplies
to the Turkish troops.

THE "BLOODY ANOLE.”
Oneoftho Last Desperate En
gagements In the War.
I had been anxious to partici
pate in the scenes occuring at the
•'angle,” ami now got permission
to go there and look after son e
new movements which h d been
ordered. Lee made five assaults in
, all that day in a series of desper
ate and even reckless attempts to
retake his main line of earthworks,
but each time his men were hurl
ed back defeated, and he had to
content himself in the end with
throwing up a new line farther in
his rear.
The battle near the “angle” was
probably the most desperate en
gagement in the history of modern
warfare and presented features
which were absolutely appalling.
It was chiefly a savage hand to
hand fight across the breastworks.
Rank after rank was riddled by
shot and shell and bayonet thrusts,
and finally sank, a mass of torn
and mutilated coipses. Then fresl
troops rushed madly forward to
replace the dead, and so the mur
derous work went on. Guns were
run close to the parapet, and dou
; ble charges of canister played their
part in the bloody work. The fence
rails and and logs in the breast
works were shattered into splinters,
iand trees over a foot and a half in
diameter were cut completely in
two by the incessant musketry fire,
A section of the trunk of a stout
oak tree thus severed was afterward
sent to Washington, where it is
still on exhibition at the National
museum. We had not only shot
down an army, but also a forest.
The opposing flags were in places
thrust against each other and mus
kets were fired with muzzle against
muzzle. Skulls were crushed with
clubbed muskets and men stabbed
to death with swords and bayonet ß
thrust between the logs in the par
apet which separated the comba
tants. Wild cheers, savage yells
and frantic shrieks rose above the
sighing of the wind and the patter
ing of the rain formed a demonia
cal accompaniment to the boom
ing of the guns as they hurled
their missiles of death into the
contending ranks. Even the dark
ness of night and the pitiless storm
failed to stop the fierce contest, and
the deadly strife did not cease till
after midnight. Our troops had
been under fire for 24 hours, but
they still held the position which
they so dearly purchased.
My duties carried me again to
the spot the next day, and the ap
palling sight presented was har
rowing in the extreme. Our own
killed were scattered over a large
space near the “angle,” while in
front of the captured breastworks
the enemy’s dead, vastly more nu
merous than our own, were piled
upon each other, in some places
four layers deep, exhibiting every
ghastly phase of mutilation. Be
low the mass of fast decaying
corpses the convulsive twitching
of limbs and the writhing of bod
ies showed that there were woun
ded men still alive and struggling
to extricate themselves from their
horrid entombment. Every relief
possible was afforded, but in too
many cases it came too late. The
place was well named the “Bloody
Angle.”
The results of the battle are best
summed up in the report which the
general in chief sent to Washing
ton. At 6:30 p. iii,, May 12, he
wrote to Halleck as follows: “The
eighth day of battle closes leaving
between 3,000 ana 4,000 prisoners
in our hands for the day’s work, in
cluding 1 general officers, and over
30 pieces of artillery. The enemy
are obstinate and seem to have
found the last ditch. We have lost,
no organization, noteventhat of
a company, while we have destroy
ed and captured one division (John
son's), one brigade (Doles’) and
one regiment entire of the enemy.”
The Confederates had suffered
greatly in general officers. Two
had been killed, 4 severely woun
ded and 2 captured. Our loss in
killed, wounded and missing was
less than 7,000 that of the enemy
between 9,000 and 10,000 as nearly
as could be ascertained.—General
Horace Porter m Century. 1

A fireplace invites cozy lounging
with book or magazine and agreea
ble conversation that has an accom
paniment of crackling flames. An
artistic fireplace carries with it an
air of coziness and comfort beyond
the power of words to express. It
is set in the back of a recess, out of
the room, and has on either side an
oak seat, with cushion. The whole
back of the recess is brickwork, ex
tending up to the ceiling. The
brickwork drops back a few courses
above the top of the fireplace, form
ing a mantel or shelf, on which may
be disposed handsome bits of china
as a decoration.
The bricks used may be the red
pressed bricks sold everywhere or
some of the handsome bricks that
are now made in soft colors, such as
gray, yellow, brown and cream.
Bricks of the same color, but vary
ing in tone, some being a deeper
shade than others, may be used
with excellent results.
The valance is a plain, straight
piece of dark maroon plush and the
pattern a continuous border of ti

ventionally and worked solidly in
couching stitch with shaded silks
in various warm tones of blue,

edge is trimmed with festoons of
many rows of narrow silk cords in
the colors of the embroidery, each
festoon ending in a long silk tassel,
showing glints of gold thread.—New

Needles.
Needles were first made of bone
or ivory, and specimens of these ar
ticles have Leen found in many
parts of the world. Bronze, ivory
and bone needles have been discov
ered in the tombs of Egypt, and on
the monuments are representations
of ladies engaged in sewing, and, it
is possible also, in chatting at the
same time. It is known that the !
Chinese, Hindoos and Hebrews used
needles from a great antiquity. I
Steel needles were known to the
Romans, but none has been discov- ,
ered, the metal not being able to
resist the corroding influence of the
atmosphere. The making of fine
needles was introduced into Spain
by the Moors, and from that coun
try was brought to England in the
reign of Queen Elizabeth. The for
eigners who made the needles, how
ever, refused to teach their trade to 1
the natives, and not until 16,30 did
the manufacture obtain a footing on
English soil. The needle making
machines of the present have been
brought to such a state of perfection
that the work of managing a ma
chine is largely intrusted to boys
and girls, and the machines turn
out thousands of needles ver hour i
