Some excitement prevailed here
the other day, caused by the run
ming away of a little girl from her
parents, and after diligent search
was found at Campbellsyille. Ru-
NOR has it that she ran away to es-
cape the maltreatment of her STEP
! father, while she says that she was
persuaded by others to do this.
A very affecting scene occurred
at Mr.. Tom Campbelrs graveyard
last Friday. The Rev. A. Muse of
iciated at the burial of his daugh-
ter, Mrs. Roland, who died In Moore
county a few days ago. A little
grandchild had died some three
months before at the same place,
and the remains were taken up and
both were brought here for inter
ment. The venerable gray-headed
sire strongly urged upon all the me-
cessity of preparing for the great
change. The ceremony was very
impressive, and struck all who wit
messed it with peculiar awe. Many
thar ks are due Mr. Campbell and
his wife for the hospitable manner
in which they treated the friends of
the deceased; and here permit me
to say that their large-hearted lib
erality is taxed to its utmost when
they feed from fifteen to fifty per-
sons every time there is a burial
there. Such people are few in
number
Wheat prospects are improving
in this community now. Farmers
say that the few warm days that
we've had lately will be great ben
eft to it, especially the late sowing,
and the people are hopeful that
there will yet be full crop. The
acreage is large per cent. above
that of last year, and it is rapidly
taking the place of cotton in this
country, and with the late improve
ments in farming, and the peculiar
adaptation of this country to stock |
raising, we expect ere long to see
'hog and hominy" predominant, and |
our lands will be in an improved |
condition. 1 do not think the day |
far distant when the labor saving
machines will be in general use |
here, as we have men enterprising
enough to take hold of anything |
that they think can be made sue
cess.
Mr.. Ben Steen made a trip to
Lawrence county this week, and
judging from the way he spits 1
suppose he was successful.
Messrs. W. Chapman and James
Vaughn have improved the looks of
their farms by repairing their
fences. A few others might profit
by the example. Mr.. j. Z. Puryear
started to Columbia with another
lot of mules to day. 1t is intimated
that there are other attractions in
Maury county besides that of
good mule market. Well, that's all
right, John, but there are plenty of
pretty girls yet in Giles.
Mrs. Blla Vaughn is spending
few days at her fathers at Rivers
Station. The young folks were ia
vored with a quilting at Mr.. w. G.
Chapman's the other day. Some of
the young men gathered there at
night and had a gay time. The
young ladies were all sweetness,
and rendered themselves quite
pleasant.
Mr.. Ebert Matthews gave a hop
to his young friends last Tuesday
night. The young ladies looked as
fresh as new blown roses and their
graceful movements were equally
The band struck up
lively air and the dance commenced
and continued to late hour. The
most attractive feature of the occa-
sion was a large waiter brought
around just at the right time, and
every one did honor to its contents.
The young men were in their high
est glee and paid particular heed to
the nightly password, come here,
