The Commencement sermon.


1t has been announced Tor several
weeks that the Commencement Ser
mon of Martin College would be
preached at the Methodist Church
next Sunday; but until yesterday
1t was not known positively bv
whom. We are glad to announce.
however, that Rev. John Mathews.
Of New Orleans, who was a member
of the Tennessee Conference twenty
years ago, has consented to perform
that duty. We are glad to make
this am ouncement-glad that we
are to sec our old personal friend
and pastor again, and glad that our
people will have an opportunity to
hear one of the best preachers the
Methodist Church can boast Of
Our personal recollections of him
as pastor and preacher over twenty
years ago, and the concurrent testi
mony of many who have heard him
frequently since, justify us in war
ranting our readers a sermon infe-
rior to none they have heard lately,
IT ever, on a similar occasion. He
is not only a preacher of eminence
and power but one of the truest,
purest men we ever knew--a plain,
modest, transformations man of God.

DR.. VIM. Key, the colored Key
stone Liniment man, was here again
on Monday last, and sold a great
deal of his liniment In fact, his
sales were limited only by the sup
ply. He had failed to anticipate so
great a demand, and his supply
gave out early in the afternoon. He
publicly proposed to refund the
money to any man who was not sat
isfied with the liniment sold on a
former visit, but no man complained.
Late in the afternoon he called at
the CITIZEN Office and very politely
thanked us for the courtesy extend
ed to him in our last issue. The
Shelbyville Gazette says he is a true
man. and enjoys the respect and
confidence of everybody in his ma
tive town. He left for home on
Tuesday.

Mai. Altman sent US lock of
wool last week, clipped from his ex-
ira prolific Cotswold eve, the moth
er Of four living splendid looking
lambs, which measures about twelve
inches. The Major says, Suppose
we had 10 acres Of grass and 100
sheep where we now have one-an
effective dog law, and 10 per cent.
repealed! we could soon comforta
bly, clothe our families and make
our cotton-worn lands rich again.
Grass is the cheapest and best of
all fec. 1t is natures feed for
stock, and is the only thing that
will keep our titles good. Why will
we persist in growing III cotton and
buying every ..E% Sc, thus max
ing ourselves tile slaves OF bankers
and commission merchants? Ger
tainly our true policy if we grow
cotton at all in Middle Tennessee is
to grow it only as a surplus-never
as a speciality. Only think Of it!
Before the war every neighborhood
in Giles and surrounding counties
sent of annually a big drove OF
hogs and one of mules, and now
they send north to buy hogs. Com
men5 would be folly.

Mr.. w. c. Carter, of Lynnville,

thy citizen, and a successful lover
of GOOD stock.

Capt. Jas. II. Andrews returned
from Pittsburg last Thursday and
brought back with him several i'm
portant and rare additions to his
curiosity shop. Those who have
never had an insight into his apart
ments, who never saw his onion
bed on the roof and the many SUI
perb relics Of antiquity and curiosi-
ties of latter day discoveries heaped
around under the bed and among
the horse collars and pillow handles,
can form no conception of what
they have missed seeing. HIS latest
additions are canary bird, a Nal
tese kitten, monkey and a pair Of
foxes. The canary was imported
from West End, London, where only
can be procured the sweetest sing
ers of brightest plumage; the kit
ten was imported direct from Malta
and is a cross of the finest bred
stocks in the whole catalogue of
feline breeds; the monkey is quite
recently from Madagascar, whence
he fed to escape CONSUMPTION into
an expedition to supply voters to
the radicals in Mississippi, and he
was caught up 1908 miles from off
the coast of New Zealand by an
agent of Capt. Andrews, who had
special instructions to intercept the
fugitive, being advised by cable Of
his flight; the foxes are the purest
species of the Vulpes fulvas, caught
in the cave IN which Capt. Jack eat
his last dinner. Ali these animals
were educated in a Pittsburg mu
Fseum especially for Capt, 4. The
canary and kitten are now on exhl-
bition, but will shortly be shipped
to Nashville to special friend Of the
! Captains; the foxes were shipped
directly to Gen. Bedford Forrest, a
present from Capt. a, ana the
monkey was presented to a relative
at the hub.
