Refnrned TO CoIumbia.

We are glad TO learn that Mr. Joseph Tow
Ter has sold out his interest in the drugstore al
Pulaski, 10 Mr.. Gus Pope, and returned to Co
lumbia to live. When he left our town seve>
raj wears since for Pulaski, we spoke in COM
plimentary terms of him, and we see from an
extract fiom the Pulaski Citizen, published
below, that he has more than justified alive said
of him. Carefully educated by father, who
is himself highly cultivated physician II is
but natural that he SHOULD be an accomplished
druggist. Mr.. fowler will probably open
drugstore in his fathers building, the same in
which ]. NJ. Nayes Il Co, had their hardware
store until recently. The Pulaski Cltizen
says "Mr. Jos. fowler, late Of the firm OF
Pope 4 fowler, of this city, leaves us this week
for Columbia, having sold his interest in the
drug store to Mr.. G. A. Pope. Mr.. fowler
made good impression when he first came to
Pulaski, and the good opinion thus formed by
this people has been continually strengthened
by his many gentlemanly traits of character.
Pulaski loses enc of its hest ciSizens and the
drug business of Pulaski one of Its most ELI
Gent members and assiduous promoters. We
wish him uubouuded success

Bill Dad Comes Again.

SAwDUST VALLEY, Tenn.
Feb. 25th, 1873.
To the Editors Of the Herald:
am not a little surprised at the appearance
of our "Jim Dad" in the columns of the last
HERALD, in vindication of the verltable
Uncle Mike" But "crippled pigeons will
flutter," and all can see that "Uncle Mike"
and his right bower, "Jim Dad" are oil at
ease" Yes, are coming to grief rapidly, and
now, to vindicate "Uncle Nike as he would
have it, Mr.. Jim Dad puts him on the stand,
that is in his own defense. A free country to
be sure, this. Yes, Uncle Mike must need
leave his bakery to testify in his own defense.
Yes sir, he starts cut by giving the life, pri-
vate services and pedigree, if you please, of
your humble writer, Bill Dad you know"
Yes, the witness says that Billdad was condi-
tionally honest, aud though very old, be
forged a free pass to YaRkeedom, and stript
general freedom by many years; suddenly
metamorphosed himself from trembling age
to young and interesting African, to revisit
his native land as prodigy to complete the
Barnum outfit for the Southern rad. But ac-
carding to Mr., Jim Dad continues Bill Dad
the smiling, beautiful African in Peter Bar
NUNS show, eyed UAcle Mike with an air OF
recognition and fuzzy as Barnum says, and
well might Bill Dad, or any other Dad in his
place, have been furious at having to sit day
by day, and occasionally be stirred up with
long pole, W llle uncle Nike was allowed 10
run at large ard on a pair of stills of lncredi-
bic length, loom maiesticaly above telt cloths
and small timber, to say nothing Of being al
lowed to lead the bear around. But leaving
the testimony of the witness, permit me to
demur to the charge of Mr.. Jim Dad of in
tending to defame, ridcule or bring into dis
repute the witness in my former article. No
sir Uncle Mike is too well known to be dam
aged by any feeble thrusts might make, "as
Baraum says" But to make short story of
a long one, ! really believe Jim Dad to be
man Of straw, l mean corporeally, l mean from
head to foot, and especially his head. And
his vain attempt to eXtricate the said witness
from his dilemma is a sublime failure and
well calculated to intensity the suspicious
born of the Barnum affair. And there can be
no doubt that the veritable Uncle Mike will be
watched with jealous eyes at the coming cir
Gus, and it is to be hoped that the demeanor
of Uncle Mike at the forthcoming show will so
demean himself as 10 put TO shame all insinua-
lions as to any completely Of the Rarnum at
fair,
As am ready now TO drop my pen, wish
to say that so far as 1 know, l am all the one
of the "Dad family" in Maury, and that for the
last century there has not been in Tennessee
any Jim Dad" or "Mike Dad and so beg
to be under stood that am no kin to Mr.. Jim
Dad or any of the newly made Dads; with this
understood, am satisfied.
Yours truly

The Nashville Life Insurance Conn
pany.

The annual statement of this company, for
1872, is in this issue. This exhibit shows that
the assets amount to two hundred and ten
Thousand, eight hundred and eighteen dollars,
over and above its liabilities. \ glance at the
names of the officers and directors, will be
sufficient TO ins,ill the fullest confidence IN the
solvency and honesty of the company.
Among the number we notice the names of
John II. Bass, w. II. Morgan, S. J.. Demo
vile and c.. A. Il. Thompson, gentlemen
whose words are as good as their bonds, and
their bonds are worth thousands. 1t is a
Nashville home company, and managed en-
tirely by Tenuesseans. We do not believe
policy could be taken in a safer or better
company. We have been carrying a policy
in il for sometime, and expect TO continue 10
carryit. We know of our personal know
ledge of a number of instances where tits
company has met its liabilities promptly. Mr.
Josh G. Bailey is the agent fer Maury, Lewis.
Hickman, Wayne, Lawrence, Perry and Har-
din counties, and will soon visit all Of said
counties to establish agencies and take poll
cies. We recommend him to the people of
those sections gentleman who understands
his business as well as man could, and one
who Will deal with them fairly ana uprightly
in all matters. We hope he may have the
success that he, and the company, he repre-
sentS merit.

The Gordon Case.

The case Of the State vs.. Eugene Gordon,
for horse stealing, was taken up Monday
morning, Lee Bullock and q. :. Hill appear
ing for the defense. The prisoner made affi-
dav that he could not go safely to trial in the
absence of certain proof which he could not
get before the next term of the court. He had
already continued his case on affidavit twice,
aud the third was so entirely contradictory of
the other two, that it was plain that he was
only seeking further delay, and his Honor,
Judge McLemOre, forced him TO go to trial.
After the case was opened he changed his
tao les and pleaded guilty. He attempted to
make an appeal to the jury for mercy. but in-
stead of so doing he began to argue on the
merits Of the case and the court stopped him.
He is a bad man, and merits the punishment
metet out TO him by the jury. His penalty
was liked at twentY-one years hard LABOR in
the State prison. Gordon is an Intelligent
man, and could have taken high stand in
society if he had but been honest.

A Project that all should support.

Hr. Nat f. Moore, of this county, is solicit
ing subscriptions TO joint stock company,
the purpose of which is to erect suitable
school building at Culleoka. The school at
CulIeoka is large and prosperous, and has
outgrown the buildings in which it is held.
IL is such an excellent school that its fame
has gone abroad, and unless a new building is
soon obtained, all the new pupils that arc con-
stautly coming in cannot be received. Every
person in Maury county should feel deep in
terest in this school, because il is in every re-
spect worthy of support. good school is
beyond all price, and above all calculation, so
rrultifOrm aud various are its influences Ii
cannot eeist IN a county without affecting
The social and moral life of every person. 1t
carries its light into every family, and even
IN that sacred precinct makes vlrture purer
manhood stronger, and even religion nobIer
and more beautiful There are but few iaml-
lies IN Maury county that have net felt the
good influences shed abroad by the excellent
female schools at Columbia. When yoL talk 10
a MauTy county girl you Immediately find that
she Is intelligent and accomplished. The dit
ference between the girls and boys in this re-
spect is marked, but IL is not their fault. II Is
because there is no large and flourishing male
school among US. Culleoka is a proper place
for such q school. II is healthy, near a great
railroad, and yet free from the temptations
necessa ~ to large towns, Living costs but
little more than half what il costs in cities

Ano,her Attempt 10 Break IatI.

Wednesday night about s o'clock,
John Roller and Charles Mason, the
former imprisoned to answer the charge
of aiding prisoners to escape from Jail,
and the latter for picking the pocket OF
Mrs, Gibson, the day of the Circus,
made bold attempt to break Jail. They
were confined in one of the upper cells,
which are very inferior to those on the
lower floor. They succeeded in burst
ing the iron bar of the door and had de-
scended to the lower floor to liberate
other prisoners, when Elias Houston,
the man who prevented Yancy and Cor
don from escaping, gave the alarm: and
the miscreantS were taken back and put
in chains. They were both very jnsO~
lent and said that if the Tailor did not
want his locks and chains broken, that
he had better take them out of their
way.
