The Bird SuDDer,

The bird supper last Wednesday

what something good to eat, admins
tered by beautiful ladies, always is.
Quite large crowd were present, and
the supper was all the most fastidious
palate could desire. The ladies, under
whose managemet the entertainment.
was given, had ornamented the large
dining hall, which had been kindly ten
dered chem by Mr. Edsall, with ever
green wreaths. sprinkled with flowers,
and the tables were all beautifully dec
GRATED with evergreen arches. The
most charming feature of the occasion,
however, were the beautiful walters.
At armed with silver walters,
were three of the most beautiful and &C.
complished young ladies of our town,
who with voices of enchanting sweet
ness, asked you what you would have
and as soon as the request was given, of
they flew and soon returned with
the choisest viands. Surely kings and
queens were never waited upon by more
charming servants. We heard of one
gentleman, a widower, who being wait.
ed upon by one of the sweetest toned
most beautiful faced, and most lovely
girl in the South, found it impossible tc
resist her, won't you have something
more, sir ?" and came very near found
ering himself We refraia FROM stating
the number and kind Of birds certain
doctor was induced to eat by one of the
fair walters.

Mr.. VIM. Everett, Of Troy, Tenn, Is on
a visit to his old friends in Msury. He
left his store and home at Poplar Top

to learn that he is doing well in his new

Mr.. James N. Jones, who has been
staying with his father and brothers al
Laurel Hill Factory during the past
summer, has returned to his home in
Lake county, West Tennessee, on the

For the benefit of some of the young

called upon to state that the recent ru>
NOR that Prof. G. s. Newman, of Knox,

He is not married, but deserves to be.
As regards Capt. ii. II. Taylor, also OF
Knoxville, we learn that he has even
closed all efforts in the matrimonial line,
and given himself up to- not despair,
but the law.
Maj. J. w. 8. Ridley, who has recently
returned from Arkansas, brings the well
come intelligence that Mr.. Ed. Pillow,
who had one of his arms torn off in a
cotton gin month or so ago, is recov-
ering, and going about everywhere.
Mr.. Pillow is native OF Maury county,
and was called by his old comrades one
of the very best soldiers in the first
Tennessee cavalry regiment. 1t seems
to be very hard to bear. indeed, that, at

years of daily dangers he is DOW forced
to lose one of his arms, in a. cotton gin.

the citizens of the Gross Bridges neigh

in the Duck River Valley Marrow Gauge

Williamsport people khad better stir

A Large Snake.

About five or six weeks ago, while

to rest. After being there ashort time, he
noticed good sized hole in sugar tree
some few feet from where he was sitting,
and something hanging out of it, which,
upon examination, proved to be the
skin of ysry large snake. While be
was in TIE act of securing the skin, his
snakeship made bis appearance at the
hole. Mr.. Watson seeing that it was an
enormous snake, determined to capture
it il possible; so he stopped the hole up
with fence rail, going back every few
daysto see about it. So, last week, find

color nth the gloss and freshness Of
youth. Thin hair Is thickened, fall
ing hair checked, and badness often,
though not always, cured by its
use. Nothing can restore the hair
where the follicles are destroyed, or
the glands atrophied and decayed;
but such as remain can be saved By
this application, and stimulate3 into
activity, so that new growth of

the hair with pasty sediment, it
will keep 1t clean aud vigorous. Its
occasional use will present the hair

not harm it. If wanted merely for

HO! for Texas.

Mr.. Hal Holcomb of this town. start
ed tor Palestine, Texas, last Tuesday,
with Mr.. Joseph A. Irvine's splendid
Stallion "Cornet," and his magnificent
Jack. "Grey Eagle" Sonnet" was sired
by Potomac, he by Commodore, and be
by Boston; hence he has the best blood
in the country in him. Some of his
colts have taken premiums at our Fairs.
"Grey Eagle' is superb Jack, and was
bought by Mr. Irvine from Mr.. Stephen
JOrdon, a we'll known stock-raiser OF
this county, who pronounces him zone
of the finest Jacks ever raised in Ten
nessee." "Grey Eagle" took the premi-
UNI, at one year old, at the Maury coun-
ty Fair; also when he was two years
old, in 1871, and again at our last Fair,
1872. when he was three years old. We
are glad TO see that our county is fur
nishing the new far west with fine stock ;
in time we hope to succeed Kentucky in
this line. Ned DAVIS, d. A. Akin, and
other natives of Maury county, now in
Anderson county, Texas, will endorse
for Joe Irvine. whom they know to be
Trustworthy in every particular.

timony of our best citizens, Of all classes, es-
tablishes the fact, that CHERRY PECTORAL
will and does relieve and cure the affecting
disorders of the Throat and Lungs beyond any
other medicine. The most dangerous affec-
tons of the Pulmonary Organs yield to its
power; and cases of Consumption, cured
by this preparation, are publicly known, so
remarkable US hardly to be believed, were
they not proven beyond dispute. As a rem
edy it is adequate, on which the public may
rely for full protection. By curing Coughs,
the forerunners of more serious disease, it
saves unnumbered lives, and an amount Of
suffering not to be computed. 1t challenges
trial, and convinces the most sceptical.
Every family should keep it on hand as o
protection against the early and unperceived
attacks of Pulmonary Affections, which are
easily met at first, but which become incura-
bic, and too often fatal, if neglected Tender
lungs need this defence; and it is unwise to
be without it. As q safeguard to children,
amid the distressing diseases which beset the
Throat and Chest Of childhood, CHERRY

use, mul,itudes are rescued from premature
graves, and saved TO the love and affection
centred on them. 1t acts speedily and surely
