Review Of the Markets.

New York reports indicate no ma
terial improvements in the financial situation,
gold selling at sl.05, as noted in our last re-
port. Speaking Of Western borrowers OF
money the Philadelphia Ledger says: "The
banks are anxious lenders on good business
paper, paper made from actual transactions in
the sale of commodities Indeed, they also
lend freely on good interest and dividend
paying securities, but the rule is almost uni
versal with them not to make loans on shares
that do not pay dividends, or on the bonds of
companies that have passed their interest
payments. These are incontinently ruled out
OF every we'll regulated bank or other cor
poration lending money. The observance Of
This rule has recently cut off a very consider
able amount Of stock collateral, and make
it rather more difficult with weak parties
to borrow, but there has been no material
change in rates for the use OF money for a
month past.
The Chicago Tribune says Of the general
mercantile trade: Dry goods were reasonably
active, and firm in a marked degree. Stocks
> OF manufactured goods were never before so
small as at present, and, with the prospect OF
more than ordinarily active spring trade,
she chances are strongly in favor of contin-
ued advancein prices. Manchester and Dun
snell,s fancy prints have been advanced to &c.
There was little change in the position OF
the grocery market, the development of a
tirmerieeing in sugars being the only new lea
ture OF note
The hog market was prevented from i'm
rrovement solely on account of the weather
The flour trade in the northwest has been
unusually active eastern buyers fearing still
further advance. Prices remain firm with an
upward tendency.
No wheat in New York, at our latest ad-
vices, was $l.41, the same as the week pre-
'vious; in Chicago, S129, rise OF four cents
for the week; in Milwaukee the price was
: .32, rise for the week OF FIVE cents The
s.nijiers' price in Minneapolis and st. Paul was
1925 for No. l and $3.50 for No. 2. Many
mills have shut down rather than pay this
price at the present price of flour.
Oats, corn, barley, etc., are unchanged and
will probably SO remain until Spring opens.
Of dressed hogs, there seems to be no hope
OF a return this season to the high prices of
few weeks ago. Prices are weak and un-
steady, packers offering $3.50 and sometimes
$50 for the most desirable lots. Shippers
cannot compete at these figures, and are not
anxious to operate at present. The greater
portion OF the years crop of hogs is supposed
to have been marketed.

HOrr:.bl Suicide,

Edward Clyde, a young man living
in Napouee, Ind, committed suicide recently
in the following horrible manner: He first
drove penknite into each temple, but not
satisfied with that, procured an old, rusty
pocket-knite with a blade three and halt
inches long, and then drove that into his fore
head to the handle and then broke it of,
leaving the blade in his head. He was soon
after discovered b, his parents and endeav-
ored to escape from them, running more
than half mile before being caught. He
was covered with b: bod from head to foot.
The cause that led to the sad affair is not
known.

A Sad Case OF Defalcation.


R. T. Taylor, cashier of the First
National Bank of Franklin, Ind, was last
week found to be detaulter to the amount
of over SIZE, 900, and he had disappeared,
taking with him all the available funds OF
the bank. A few days thereafter the unfor-
tunate man was found dying in the back room
OF DR.. Payne's office, in an apparent uncon-
scious condition. He was removed to his
residence and the doctors pronounced him
insane and in very critical condition, being
subject to heart disease. He had no money
with him and claims that his travelling bag,
which is supposed to have contained the
money, was lett in caboose car. He was
thought to have arrived during the night on
freight train. He says he has been absent
six years. The belief at Franklin is that the
loss to the bank will reach one hundred and
seventy-6ve thousand dollars. The general
ledger and other books Of importance are
missing. He was unconscious at midnight.

Again we resume our pen to let
you hear from Lynnville. The
farmers are busily engaged thresh
ing wheat. We hear many COM
plants of making more straw than
wheat.
Once more we have had the pleas
ure of witnessing another marriage

Bugga to the beautiful and gifted
Miss Maggie Boatright. Allow us
to congratulate Mr.. Bugg in being
so fortunate as to win the fair hand
Of so amiable lady, as her juvenile
Sabbath school class with us will
testify. 1t was amusing to see them
seated in front of the arch watching
every movement and listening with
eagerness TO hear the pastor pro.
nounce the final Injunction, 81 pro
nounce you man and wife" This is
an event that will long be remem-
bered by them, even when their
heads are silvering for the tomb.
May she continue to train those
youthful minds in the ways of truth
and holiness that they may be fit
subjects to labor in their Masters
vineyard. AS for Mr.. Bugg, we do
not think there is q more worthy
gentleman in this vicinity. We
only wish him to be our next tax
collector. If we had a dozen votes
we are sure they should all be cast
for him. We are deprived of the
privilege of the ballot box; never
theless, it has been said that we
have an influence, and if this be
true, we shall do our best for him,
should he be a candidate.
We welcome Mr.. Johnnie Fry and
his amiable little sister back to our
neighborhood, after an absence of
many months in the far away Texas.
We hope they have come to the
conclusion, like many other sensible
people, that Tennessee is the gar
den spot of the world.
Prof. Bodenhamer paid us 1y-
ing visit few days since. May we
have the pleasure of listening to
one of his eloquent sermons on his
next visit.
We sympathize with our friend
Mr.. G.. T. Mel. in his loneliness
since his lovely and accomplished
wife is visiting her Huntsville
relatives. He looks as though his
last friends had forsaken him.
Several families are contemplate

Mr.. EDITOR :-Inasmuch as there
have appeared no items from this
place IN your most excellent paper
for some time past, you viii please
pardon my seeming presumption in
sending you few; since, especially,
we wish to correct a statement con-
corning the closing exercises of the
school here. The item to which we
refer came out in your last issue
under the head of Parker's Store.
Mrs. w. c. Mckenzie is our
teacher, not Mrs. Mcknight. The
closing exercises of her school oc-
Cured last Saturday. day long to
be remembered for the pleasantness
of its associations. The examina-
ton of every class was thorough
and the recitation reflected great
credit upon Mrs. Mckenzie as a
teacher. Dialogues and speeches
interspersed the recitations much
tO the entertainment of the audi
ence. Twelve o'clock arriving, a
rich repast was spread in abundance
to the delight of those with a most
fastidious taste, while an epicure
would have been transferred to his
third heaven even at the sight of
the dainties. A social hour spent,
the examination closed about 3
o'clock, when Prof. Bodenhamer,
according to programme, assembled
the stage and delivered a beautiful
and appropriate address. During
his speech a sea OF thought-beau-
tiful thought-was put in motion
by his mention of the names of IL
lustrious men, authors, &C., their
doings, sayings and writings. We
all felt that it was good to be there
while such a chaste discourse was
being delivered. The benediction
pronounced, the old people and
children went home and the young
ladies and gentlemen resorted to
the croquet ground, where they
spent the remainder of the day in
that delightful exercise.
Miss Hortense, a lovely little
daughter of Mr.. j. Polk English,
was thrown from her horse last Sat
urday as she was returning with her
father from the school exercises,
and received severe injury by the
dislocation of her right shoulder
and the breaking of that arm near
the shoulder. She is recovering
now, but suffering greatly.
Several threshers are in operation
around here. Crops are looking
fine. We have just had a good
shower.
Marcella Falls is having an awak-
ening revival of religion which
commenced last Saturday, but it
will likely close Sunday when the
dedicatory sermon for the new
Methodist church will be delivered
by DR.. Kelly of Nashville.

suddenly at his home two miles
north of Brick Church on Friday
last. He was out in the gar

Subsequently he was found in a dy-

There were evidences of a great
struggle with the monster all alone,
and the scene OF his death and the

his face and head are said 10 have
