fine parts, excellent SEM and of sterling

fair debator, man Of ideas, fgent and
impressive talker, and one of the most
uncompromising Jeffersonian, strict con-
stlucttoH democrats to be found in all the
land. Finally he is emphatically self

in canyassing, four or five years ago,

EDIToRs WING AND TRIBUNE:
Having occasion last Saturday morn
ing to visit the Oak Grove neighborhood
in this county, l soon discovered ma
jority of the good citizens were absent
from home and vending their way to the
church to attend a Grange celebration.
Notwithstanding the inclemency of the
day large audience had assembled to
hear the distinguished and rarely gifted
son of sscNairy, Henry Meeks. lie is
certainly one of natures orators, in
which case she has been prodigal in her
gifts. He was followed by Hon. B. NJ.
Tilman. aud the exercises were closed by
Rev. Jack Walker in one of his best eff
forts. 1t is certainly pleasure to know
that McNairy is the banner grange coun-
ty in the State.
The work is going on well in the dis
trict High School, and all praise is due
the energetic building committee who
have labOred so earnestly for the final
success of this literary institution. 1t is
composed of DR.. 1. w Perkins, Rev. A.
w. Skinner and w. +. Rowsey.
Rev. Blackmon, formerly OF your city,
and now stationed here and at Hender-
son, preached one of the best sermons in
the Methodist church yesterday that it
was ever our fortune to hear. We pre-
dict for him great success when the rcvi-
val season arrives. We were pleased to
see our much esteemed county man, John
IL. Duke, and his accomplished lady Wis
iting our town last Saturday and Sunday
The firm Of Duke & Wisdom, by their
lifetime residence in this county, are al
ready securing Il large trade in our sec
ton. MUFAr.

Readers, it is our especial intention
this week to call your earnest attention
to the Southern Calendar Clock COmpa-
ny, which you viii find in double col
umn on another page. This clock is the
only kind of clock used by all persons of
business who have become acquainted
with the regular and accurate workings
of this valuable time piece. This kind of
clock is worth at least five times as much
as any other clock sold here. We advise
our friends who are merchants, mechan-
les, farmers or professional men to buy
one of the Fashion Clocks; they show
you the day of the month, the name of
the day, the hour, minutes and seconds
of time whenever you turn your eye to-
ward it. One of them is sitting in the
Reveille Office, where every true friend
of good time, and every hard worker for
honest time can examine for themselves.
A Regulator in every sense of the
word. We have to say for the gentlemen
who are representing the interest of the
company in this county, that they are
gentlemen of force and energy; high
toned and fair in all their transactions
They have complete and handsome two
horse outfits, and will deliver clocks
wherever they are wanted. Their mo ito
is, elf the people will do their part by
the clock, they Will do more than their
part by them" We say, patronize that
which is fair, honest, upright and prof.
table.

The MARTINs.-The martins have not
put in appearance as yet, and rs they are
the sure precursors of Spring, we must
know that they have come, and recog-
nize their tWittering OF the caves, before
we can announce the dawn of this decep-
tive season that loves to linger in the lap
of Winter. Buds and blooms that have
slept for months in the icy arms of Win
ter are anxious to peep out and catch the
earliest beams of good weather. Like 4
fellow who has shivered through cold
night without enough "kiver" they get
up early in the morning and sigh for a
change of Surroundings. Bnt they have
been fooled this year, aud their anxiety
to don their spring apparel has cost them
their lives; and dashed untasted from our
lips the luscious peach, which commin-
gled with the flowing honey. Good
Templars have pronounced the compound
ga nectar fit for the gods.

1--WE notice on our streets the elegant
spring wagon of the Southern Calendar
Clock Company, lately received by them
here. more notable instance of what
pluck and energy can accomplish has
rarely ever come under our observation,
than the success they have achieved in
selling their noted Clock, Fashion, to
the people of this aud adjoining counties.
Making their headquarters here about
two months ago, they have sold large
number of their celebrated clocks. Ger
tainly there must be something superior
in the construction of these clocks to war
rant such immense sales, and the names
appended to the recommendation la to-
days issue of our paper Is 4 sufficient
guarantee of that fact. Their manner of
conducting the business is, TO have only
ono price, so thar purchasers may feel

being imposed upon or having an extor-
