the glue off so that it frequently comes
off the letter, and you waste much val

what little sense you have. Now, the
next time you go to put on a stamp,
don't loll out your tongue and spit and
slobber over it, and gag and mOmmick
1t about, but just barely touch it 70 your
tongue and stick it on, and then see how
much better it sticks and what lubber-
head you have been.

Christmas.

SENEX has literally upset everything
we have heretofore conceived in regard
10 Christmas. And yet, after saying
what it dOH't mean, he fails to tell us
what it does mean, and thus cOmpels us
to go back to the first and hunt up a
theory. This day was christened when
the name explained che object or thing,
and before euphOny and fashion and
rich kin-tOlks were the controlling ele-
ment in this business. Therefore the
name means something, and as it is now
deprived of its hitherto accepted mean
ing, we must analyse it to see what its
5 e n II atiOD is. C-h-r-i-s-t-m-a-s.
From this we have chri, chris, rist, sti,
Is, istmas, ma and mas. Chri was the
Ignorant way in which ye ancients at
tempted to spell that process of facial
contortion and gutteral unearthliness at
present called cry. Chris doubtless
means that Christopher Columbus
helped to discover this day. Rist (wit-
ness y0 photography doubtless refers to
that habit the average urchin has &C
quired of wiping his prObOscis with the
wrist Of his Jacket when it perspires.
Sti means hog pen. Is follows and
surely intends to convey the idea that
there is something in the pen. Istmas
Ga corruption of isthmus) signifies tile
pen and something following. Ma I'M
questiOnably NEAR the human race, as
without mas we'd all soon become as the
grass that is withered. Mas (mass)
means a cOnglOmeratiOn of heterOgene-
Gus incOngruities. There we have it all
in fragments, and now fol the inevitable
theory: 1t is a day to cry aloud and
spare not the noise, and we must use all
manner of sounds and cOntOrtions that
have been discovered from the days of
the great Columbus to the present, using
that utter abandon OF decency which
actuates the boy in greasing his jacket
sleeve 1t is day expressly invented
to establish the Darwinian theory. The
hog is in the pen-man is on the outside
the connecting link (eggnog, etc., is
found and applied-man is drawn
through the crack into the pen to wall
low with the hog, and then follows that
.inordinate admiXture of disaffected af-
inities and uproriOus exhalations of
sweet scented diabOlisms which are pc
culiar results. This theory cannot be
gainsaid. 1t is as clear as sOapsuds, and
the conclusion to be drawn from the
whole thesis is that every man must
make it particular point to

For CIerk of the Senate.

We are pleased to learn that our ac-
cOmplished friend and fellow-citizen, Z.
w. Ewing, Esq, will be candidate be-
fore the next State Senate for the chief
clerkship of that body. We can say
very truthfully that there is no one
within our knowledge who could more
efficiently fill that office. We have seen
him serve in a similar position on sever
al occasions, and his ready comprehen-
sion, clear enunciation, ringing voice
and quick motion, have marked him as
being peculiarly the man for such du-
ties. All who attended the COngression-
al Convention at Columbia last summer
will readily bear testimony that he will
make a most excellent chief clerk. His
expertness as chief clerk on that Occa-
sion was observed by all present. Add
to these qualifications, sobriety, honesty,
industry, talent, tact and energy,
and YOU have Il. w. Ewing and II
splendid clerk. Our friends in the SEN
ate are urged to consider well his claims.

az The most popular place of resort
in Nashville for those in search of bar
gains is Winstead, Shields & Co, on the
Public Square. Go there at any hour
day or night and there is a perfect throng
of people, of all ages, sexes, colors and
conditions hunting bargains, and they
never go away unsatisfied. And one
thing remarkable about it is that there
is nothing in the whole catalogue of
merchandise that you can't get, either at
auction or private sale, almost at your
own price. They claim to sell goods
cheaper at retail than wholesale mer-
chants can even buy them at wholesale.
How they do 1t Is none of our business
nor none Of yours; but we have the as
surance that they don't steal them, and
that Is enough for US to know. Capt.
Jno. NJ. Winstead, who Is Familiarity
known, both from his looks and from
his habit Of loading people with goods
for nothing, as old Kris Kringle, pre-
sides over the sales room, assisted by a
corps of accommodating clerks, such as
the smiling and urbane Walker w. Win
stead, while the venerable and obliging
Mr.. Shields takes the cash. When you
go to Nashville, drop in and spend an
hour or so just to see and enjoy the sight;
but be sure to take your purse along, for
it is next TO impossible to keep from
buying something.

TO OUR PATRONS.

We have due us, from patrons scat
tered far and near, many small sums,
which to our individual debtors are but
trifies, but in the aggregate form an
amount which is quite an object to US,
and which we stand very much in need
of just at this time, and this is so scat
tered over the country that it is impos-
sible for us to call for personally.
Therefore we call upon all who are in
debted TO us to come forward and settle
up at their very earliest convenience.
The year is about closing, and allshould
pay up their little debts before the be-
ginning of the new year.
With the new year the law requiring
the postage on papers outside of the
county to be paid in advance goes into
effect, and we can not afford to furnish
the paper to nOn-paying subscribers, and
also pay the postage on it. We viii be
compelled to discontinue all papers,
after the 1st of January, upon which
the subscription price and the postage
have not been paid.
Those who desire to subscribe for the
COurieT-Journal, i'm connection with our
paper, must do so before the LIST of Jan
uary. We will furnish the two papers,
postage paid, in this county, for 50: 20,
out of the county, SO: 55.

At the residence of the brides father,
Dec. 10th, 1874, by Rev. F. j. Tyler, Mr.
| L. F. EVANS, to L. d. YOKELY-all of
Giles county.
On the 18th inst. by same, at the resi-
dence of the brides father, Mr.. W. Z.
PRINCE to Miss NJ. F. BOWER.
At the residence of Mr.. Jno. NJ.
| (Jack) White, near Pulaski, on Tues
day last 22nd inst, by Rev. WellbOrne
/ Mooney, Mr.. w. $. HARRIS, of Shan
non, Miss, to Mrs. MARY Z. COLEMAN.
We regret that business engagements
prevented us from Witnessing this joy
Gus event, and from enjoying the hospi-
talities of the brides mother and step
father, but the good things received
| from the feast at this office have partially
cOnsoled us. The basket and bottles
handed us through Mr.. RObt. Stone,
cousin OF the bride, contained cheer
enough for two such occasions. A good
ly number OF young people mbled
under the hospitable roof of Mr.. White
! to witness this event, though no inVi-
tations had been extended. Among
them we mention our friends Chas. G.
Alternately Esq, aged 81, Col. Thos. K .
| Gordon, aged 50, Mahlan Stacy, Sr., only
little younger, and many others rang
ing from 40 to so, including Col. S. E.
| Rose, Jno. p. EZell, Hon. Thos. NJ
Jones, etc, etc. When the brides cake
came to be cut for the ring, the pref
erence was given to the eldest first, as
follows: c.. c. Alternately, then Col.
ThOs. K. Gordon, but when Esq Stacy
was called forward, he yielded his place
| to Hon. ThOs. NJ. Jones. The whole as
sembly at once decided that it was now
unnecessary for the Judge to disclose
his age. Being thus acknowledged
third in point of seniority, he was clear
ly entitled to the third cut, which he
made with his usual grace, and bore his
new hOnors with becoming dignity.
The party was a merry one; but for gay
and festive young men they demeaned
themselves very sOberly. Some one sug-
gests, however, that it is Just barely
possible that the presence of brother
Mooney may have had a restraining in
tluence upon their gay young spirits,
though this idea will be secuted by ev-
cry one who knows the exemplary hab-
its of the boys. We shall never look
upon such wedding party again. The
hosPitable host and his most amiable
wife enjoyed the presence of their
young friends, and the happy bride and
groom felt honOred by their presence.
They departed for their future home in
Mississippi amid the mingled congratu-
latlons and regrets of many friends.
Marriage license have been issued to
the following persons since our last.
