Sorrow Om a Chieftain's Dentil, Not uotil about 8 o’clock on Tuesday morning did our people receive the sad intelligence which, on the wings of night, bad flashed around the world—"The President lit dead.” The bells of the city at once took up ,thO sad story and for more then an hour tolled the solemn dirgo which ever precedes the funeral car. Crowds of people, many of them with pent up feeling finding vent iu tears, gathered here and there about the streets and on this corners discussing in low measured tones the calamity and results about to follow. The stores of the town were soon draped in mourning, the flag on the Court House displayed at half-mast, and the streets presented a sombre glpom such as has not been seen since the assassination of President Lincoln. An impromptu meeting of citizens regardless of party was held In Gullick’s drug store at an early hour in the day and the determination reached to bold a mass meeting iu the Court House at 3 o’clock to give an expression of sympathy and feeling commensurate with the great calamity that had falleu upon the country. Committees were appointed to perform various duties towards getting up the meeting and properly conducting it. Theso committees did their work well, and when 3 o’clock came the large and spacious court room baudsomely and tastefully decorated, was filled to its utmost capacity with an audieuce that could not conceal the deep emotion that permeated each and every face. J. W. Wilson, Esq., called the meeting to order, and briefly stating its objects, placed Goodlet Morgan, Esq., in tte chair. WSP. Knight, of the Democrat, and J. W. Gladish, of the Press, were appointed Secretaries, and Dr. J. It. Adams, Hon. E. F. Richardson and E. A. Ely, Esq., were appointed a committee on resolutions. A well trained choir discoursed some sad but beautiful muslo, which was followed by prayer by Rev. Mr. Evans, after which Rev. M L. Milford spoke of th^ excellent Christian character of the dead President in an eloquent and touching strain, which was most appropriate and fitting. Hon. F. B. Posey then addressed the meeting in one of the most beautiful, chaste and pathetically eloquent speeches ever delivered in this place under any circumstances. Mr. Posey is a born orator, and has few equals in the State as a fascinating weaver of words, but on this occasion ho excelled himself and left in the hearts of bis hearers a beautiful but sad memory of power which can never die. ' 1

After the rendition of an anthem by the choir, E. A. Ely, Esq, spoke feelingly and tenderly of tho “Dead Chieftain” and wove for (he memory of Garfield a chaplet of Immortelles which will remain green and freeh in the hearts of our people so long as time shall last. After the conclusion of Mr. Ely’s address, the Committee on Resolutions made the tollowiug report: RESOLUTIONS. Whereas, The citizens of Pike county, Inti., have heard of the death of their beloved President, Janies A. Garfield, and have assembled in mass meeting at the Court House of said county to voice their lamentations over the great National calamity. New, therefore, be it Resolved, That language will not express the horror, grief and indignation felt at the demoniac crime that robs the nation of its cherished head and plunges the land in woo. Resolved, That history in shining letters will record the story of the unexampled courage with which our noble chief held death at bay for weary weeks and months, and neither faltered, murmured or complained, and met, at last, the inevitable end with calm, unfaltering trust. Resolved, That the family of our martyred President deserve, and will receive, as an inheritance, precious and priceless, the enduring love of the united people, who loved and sympathized with him in nis pain, and who, for his dear sake, will love: and cherish them. J. R. Adams, > E. A. Ei-v, J Com. E. P. "Richardson,) Which was unanimously adopted, alter which the meeting was sorrowfully and sadly adjourned. All the business houses were closed from 1 to 6 o’clock, and the manifestations of sorrow on all hands were deep and heartfelt.

Go thou and do likewise, then may yon live long and be happy. LETTERS FROH THE PEOPLE. To the Editor of the Democrat! In last week’s issue of your very valuable paper you justly, in behalf of the citizens of Petersburg, call a halt on the “sweet singer,” who Bhould surely be indicted at the next sitting of the grand jury for murder. “Cradle’s Empty—Baby’s Gone.” Although the ghost of this long since departed infant has haunted the household of every family in the country, and notwithstanding the fact that the cradle itself has long since mouldered away;although it is a noteworthy fact that elsewhere every human is bending his untiring energy in the endeavor to discard from memory the thoughts of the child, in order to once again pursue their daily labors with their accustomed energy, yet it still retains its hold in this vicinity. How it came here is one of those freaks of nature for which we aro not responsible, and which are continually springing upon us. How it will ever be removed is a problem for the high school youth, unless the Straight-Line is pushed to completion and offers its services in transporting it to Tom Corn’s post among the Utes. The Straight Line is our only consolation, as it alone can rid us of this plague by day and torture by night. If the infant’s really gone, And the cradle bo forlorn; Or if the baby’s empty. And the cradle it be gone; Or if the cradle and the baby They both have ceased their song, . a Let us hope that time will ring Some other baby in, And at once take from our midst 'The brute in hitman form. Who would instill into our midst These heartless words in song. The couch wherein the infant usually tackled Morpheus’sweot embraces is vacant, and the once romping, rollicking, dimpled kid has hied itself away in a cradle where mosquitoes will not fret it on a coming Snmmer’s day. Asti Sweet Singer.
