Bob. VOORHEES,, cold. went down into
John Browns well last week, and struck
a current Of "foul air." John Brown
cold, suspected by Bob's silence below
that everything was not right, and go
ing down to see, found his surmiso COR
rect. He ard q boy tied rope around
Bob's shoulder and neck, and drew him
up to light and pure Air. By the appli-.
cation of some liquor, by Pat Griffin, and
little tanning, he soon recovered his
senses. Bob is faithful workman, and
we are glad he recovered. 2! = %

. Sarah Vaughn, cold, was arrested last
Saturday evening ia this place, for steal
ing a bed from Jane Harris. It being
too late for trial, she was placed in Jail
until Monday, when she was tried be-
fore ESQ. Henry Holman who bound
borrower until the next term of the
; Criminal Court. Failing to give bond,
she was committed to Jail. Sarah was
placed in Jail once before, for stealing a
shawl from another colored lady. She
was found guilty. but she was only
placed in jail two months. The ex-
IRENE leniency of the jury proved to be
misplaced. I ~ j ftf''Ht %
We learn that the gentlemen In charge
OF the subscription books to the Duck
River Valley Railroad are making fine
progress in getting stock. Let tour sister
counties rest assured that Maury will do
her full duty. We think there will not
be ten men in Columbia that will refuse
to take stock. 80. ,,f-r.

day night. on charge Of stealinga mule
Vile and Cornersville. He claims to be

We call attention to the advertisement
Of the Republic Life Insurance Compa-
ny in this issue. We have reft rred to
tie principles upon which this company
is conducted heretofore. and need not
now repeat 1t. Read the advertisement
aid SEQ the names that appear IN it.
They are the first business men of the
county. The Messrs. Bailey are local
agents here. They are also agents for
the most reliable Fire Insurance Com
panies in the country. -.t t,...~.
The Farris Brothers haye a new adj
Yertisement in this issue. They built
the magnificent hearse used by A. Barr.
Their work speaks better for them than
words. See their card.
George Spindle, put in Jail sometime
since, for stealing horse III board day
light, died in jail Wednesday night of
typhoid fever and a broken heart.
George used to be held in high esteem
by the white people, hence the keenness
OF bis remorse.
A GAY and happy little party of young
ladies and gentlemen of this vicinity
went to the Falls, near Summertown,
Lawrence county, last Tuesday, and re-
turned by moonlight, after having spent
q delightful day. Two of the young Ia
dies are daughters of u. S. Senator,
another is from Pennsylvania, and three
from Nashville, and the others from the
Hampshire Pike.
