You may, per-
chance, remember that some time last
spring, you noticed the organization
Of tho Adams Township Farmers
Club. Well the club now lives and
fourisheth. We were organized too
late last spring TO receive any seeds
from the Bureau of Agriculture at
Washington, so we cannot boast of
having planted or soved any cereals
or roots, and of having made any
important failures. No. We ad.
journed through the "raiuy svason"t
commonly yclept summer and began
one meeting again this fall. After
we had held divers and sundry meet-
ings and had decided which was the
best kind of hogs and what was the
best way to fatten them. Our Presi
dent read US his annual message, and
unlike most Presidential messages, it
had ono point in it which met our
undivided approval, viz: That we
have social meeting during the hol-
idays to be participated in by our
wives and daughters. So New Years
night was settled on as the time, and
a general invitation was given to the
neighborhood to attend, aud special
invitation TO our co-workers of the
Cooperville Farmers Club. We me,

was participated in by such staid and sober

There was quite stir on Saturday in
Nashville gaming circles, caused by the
father of a fast young man making raid
upon several sporting establishments, and
compelling the proprietors to disgorge
money won from his son. 1t seems that the
hopeful youth has been making encroach-
ments upon his fathers bank account, and
using the funds in lighting the tiger. He
lost pretty heavily, and the father, finding
out about the business, compelled them to
return the money. One establishment
came down to the tune OF $3.50, and another
forked over $3.50.
