{ 1t may be regarded as a settled fact-Ol
Probs to the contrary Notwithstanding
, that "Spring time has come, gentle Annie
, when Col. George F. Akers is seen paradin
College street with two fishing poles on hi
left shoulder.-U linton and American.
Only woman's hair! Who has nc
some time in his life picked up such a gold
en- thread from his best coat collar, and fel
his heart beat the quicker for 1t? Or gaze
upon a tress laid away in some nook, an
not felt the influence of tender memories
Z Only woman's hair! and yet Mote PatteI
don't like it-in q biscuit.
"A successful and talented young lawye
at this bar, who lives at Culleoka, recently
told crowd of brother lawyers that ht
would not give one year of married life, i
4 by doing 30 he could secure fifty years o.
single wretchedness. Judge Ward said that
was pretty strong, If not extravagant, Ian
| guage, but he thought more of George foI
using it.
DIR. White of the Lebanon Herald says that
II. Melville Doak of the TobGcco-LeGfis the
best country editor In the State. We would
ask the good Doctor, what is the difference
between an urban and suburban editor? If
Doak is the best of the rural ROSTERS, ac-
cording to our logic, he takes the linen off
the shrubbery as far as the city editors are
cOncerned.-ReVieaO and JournrE.
"A gentleman near Rally Hill last week,
cut down a stump of a large tree, about
twenty feet in hight, which proved to be
hollow from top to bottom. 1t had been
standing in this condition for many years.
A human skeleton was found at the bottom
Who was 1t? How did it get there, and
when? Has nybOdy been missing in that
country Evidently, the unfortunate man
fell from the top and per1shed.-RsUieto and
Journal.
Our Criminal Court has been in session
for some time. No idle bread has been con-
sumed. 1t has been work, work, work.
Judge w. S. McLemore has shown and
evinced determination to do his whole
duty, impartially and vigorously. Attor-
ney General RUSSELL, is an active, able, per-
sistent worker. He works all the time con-
scientifically and energettcally. No two
men that we know of, seem to be more deep
ly impressed with their duties. II crime is
not repreSsed in their bailiwick, it will not
be their fault. The truth plainly told, is
this. There is too much disregard OF law
in this country. 1t is high time that the
hands of this court were upheld in the ad-
ministration of the law.-RevietD and Jour
nal.
Col. Wash Fitzpatrick, Frank ]. Moore,
Henry Hughes, E. c. Fleming, Bill Gard
ner, Morgan Fitzpatrick and Bill Smith, re-
turned to Culleoka last week, from the bar
rens. They went to Rippey's Stand, in Law |
renee county, and staid nearly two weeks. |
Frank Moore killed three deer, two fawns |
and mule-his own. A deer came up be- |
tween him and his stand, and he fired |
away, killing the deer and badly damaging |
the posterior of his mule. Another deer |
came along and ran in the same direction. |
He fired, and crippled the deer and hit his
mule again. Col. Fitzpatrick followed this |
deer Mr.. Moore crippled. a mule by the
blood. The saddle-skirt saved the mule
from being killed instantly. The mule was
so badly hurt that he gave it to one of Mr.
Rippey's sons. Mr.. Gardner also killed
leer. We do not know who killed the 9TH
er one.
