81 spent my days in the counting house
of Mr.. Nelson, my evenings with Joseph
inc. She faded slowly before my loving
eyes, growing weaker and weaker till she
| died, clasping my hand in hers. That was
forty years ago, but thave loved no woman
since. | will keep faith with Josephine
till we meet in Heaven. When die, Will
all have will be yours, but bury this with
me-"
AS he spoke he put small locket, that
had been hidden in his bosom, into Willis
hands. Opening. it disclosed the face of
very beautiful woman. At the sight of
it. Will cried:
elbow much like Floy Hartley"
MRS. Hartley is Josephine's sister,
said Uncle Josh, quietly. "Now you know
why I am so fond of Floy."
There was long silence, and Uncle
Josh knew Wills face and the firm grasp
Of his hand, that his story had fallen upon
sympathizing affection.
"Come," said he cheerfully, after long
pause ;''if Miss Holway has actually &C
cepted, must see about a wedding pres
ent."
''She actually has, said Will, land the
money saved for a piano is to 60 for a
trousseau.'
sis that hint FOR me to buy piano ?"
said Uncle Josh. 'sWell, will"
But when the wedding day was fixed,
and Will consulted Uncle Josh about a
house. he was Informed that Mrs. Stanton;s
wedding present from hernew uncle would
be a neat, brown stone house, fully fur
nished, including a piano, with one room
reserved for Uncle Josh.
There are children's voices now in the
handsome house, and Uncle Josh has stood
godfather to a sturdy namesake. The
sun of prosperity shines upon Will, but
he says his business success, his happy
home, his freedom from worldly perplexi-
ties, have all depended On the good sense
of his wife, who in all expenditures, all
charities, first considers whether or not
she can afford the outlay; and while she
is liberal and large-hearted, is never asham-
ed to exercise economy or to decline an
extravaganza.

SPONGE POUND CAKE.-Three cups of
sugar, one cup butter, one cup sweet milk,
six eggs, five cupss flour. Use baking pow
der instead of soda or cream tarter, the
usual quantity, judging by the kind of
baking powder used. Divide this receipt,
using one-half of each ingredient, when
only one cake is wanted. In making
sponge cake, fresh oranges are much bet
ter than lemons.

To KEEP TOMATOES FOR WINTER USE.
AS the tomato season is now here, con-
tribute one way for keeping them for win
ter use that may be new to some of your
readers. l ate them in February, sliced
and seasoned with sugar and little vine
gar, that seemed every way as nice as TO-
matoes picked from the vines. They were
preserved in the following manner: Dis
solve a teacup of salt in gallon of water.
Pick ripe tomatoes, but not over ripe, leav-
ing little of the stem on. The tomatoes
must be well covered with brine, and they
will keep till spring or over.

BOILING VEGETABLEs.-In boiling beef
and vegetables, put teaeup of vinegar
into the pot when the water is cold, and
the beef will be much tenderer, and cab
bage and beets better favored and will not
fill the house with unpleasant smell. The
vinegar will not affect the taste of the
food.

Mr.. JonN Arch R1cuARpsos. fo

Mr.. JOHN ARCH RICHARDSON, for
several years our City Marshal,
rendered his resignation to the
Board of Aldermen last Friday and
stepped out of Office. 1t is univer-
sally regretted that Mr.. Richardson
declines to serve longer, and we be-
lieve we reflect the sentiment of
almost every one in the community
in saying that he executed his du-
ties with diligence, impartiality and
ability peculiar to himself. 1t dis
para9es no one to say that Mr.. r.
is infinitely better suited to that
office than any one else in the town.
He has a peculiar tact that enables
him to pry into the schemes of vii
lains and ferret out crime, sand he
has exerted himself to such a de
gree as to command the actions of
rascals and deter them by the very
fear of his presence. AS detective,
he would rank with the best in the
country, were he to make it pro-
fession. He will remain ON duty
the balance of this month, we be-
lieve.

Lynnville.

Last summer Mr.. j. p. Boyd, one
of the most successful farmers in
this part of the county, concluded
to try the experiment of raising his
own clover seed. He moved and
stacked the hay of about six acres
of land. Mr.. Clyne of the neigh
borhood of Campbell's Station is
now threshing and cleaning his
seed. We learn that Mr. B., esti-
mating his crop from the quantity
already threshed, expects about 80
bushels of seed from the six acres.
We have seen sample of the seed.
They are nicely cleaned, and we
judge them merchantable. At the
market price this will give to Mr..
B. the handsome sum of fifty to
sixty dollars per acre from the
land, besides the improvement from
rest and the manure from the stub
BILE. Now the labor and expense
required to get these seed into the
market, is not more than one-tenth
of that necessary to raise and sell a
crop of cotton, while the average
proceeds from an acre of cotton will
not exceed twenty dollars. Why
don't more OF our farmers substi-
tute clover, grass and other seed for
cotton? We can see no reason only
that it is hard to teach an "old dog
new tricks" The vast amount of
money sent North from Giles coun-
ty every year to buy clover, grass
and garden seeds would in a few
years pay the entire Indebtedness
of the country if kept at home, and
we trust many more of our hard
working people will turn their at
tention to such things.
We have had a new fashioned
photograp in our town this week
at least he came here and took
photographers license in the corpo
ration. He works without a cam
era, and his work is said TO be won
derfully well executed. 1t is said
that he contemplates giving Pulaski
a call soon. No doubt some of her
young bloods will become familiar
with his art.
Mr.. w. L. Thompson, who has
lived in West Tennessee for two or
three years, has retuaned to his old
home in this place. He intends to
engage in the undertaker's business.
We hope he will do well, but do not
want any body to die for his special
benefit.
Mr.. Jack Martin, road overseer,
has been doing good work on his
section of road. 1t is to be hoped
10. Fitzpatrick, and others, will fol-
low his example and give US some
good roads.
Miss Willie Malone and Miss
Kate Alternately are paying a visit
to friends and relatives in this
place.
Mr.. Camp bells school opened
with a good attendance on the Goth
ult. He will have several students
from abroad this session.
We have just learned that Lynn
vile was infested with burglars
again last Saturday night. Mr.. j.
j. CARROTS grocery store was brok
en- into aud .sRobison county" taken
out Do not know how much.
Mr.. H. NJ. Fleming's dry goods
store had auger holes bored through
the back door, all around the lock,
but the thieves did not succeed in
gaining a entrance. Fz.

Bohemian.

The people of this community
have seemed very much interested
in building up an Academy. The
citizens generally have been very
liberal in their donations. The w.
r. HARDWOOD heirs have been kind
enough to donate a nice lot upon
which to erect school building.
Others have given of their means to
carry forward the good work. The
building is expected to be a hand
some one when finished.
The Bohemian Lodge of f. q A
Masons are united with the citizens
in this laudable enterprise. The
house is to have two stories-the
lower for school purposes, and the
upper for a Masonic Lodge-room.
Mr.. Andrew Hannah's little boy
(about three years old was buried
last Wednesday evening. He died
of Group, after a short illness. May
the parents, with triumphant feel
ing, be able to say, "The Lord gave,
the Lord has taken away, blessed be
the name of the Lord"
Rev. L. K. Paisley, of Pulaski,
and Rev. E. d. Paisley, of Alabama,
were in the neighborhood this week
on visit among their friends. The
former we were glad to see improved
in health. May God bless him and
the dear people of whom he has the
pastoral care. The latter we were
rejoiced to see enjoying vigorous
health, and we trust that he may be
able to accomplish a good work in
his chosen field of labor in the Sun
ny South.
During the bright sGnshiny days
that have blessed and cheered us
this week, the farmers have been
earnestly at work, seeming to care
little whether Tilden or Hayes Is
President. AS good and patriotic
citizens they have patiently waited
for an amicable and peaceful settle
ment of the political difficulties.
AS pious men they have prayed that
God would bless our country in it's
fearful crisis. And with them, we
would rejoice to know that the
great Presidential problem had been
and that a new era of good
feeling and prosperity had dawned
upon our nation. We long to see
prudent, moderate, cautious, con-
sentative, God-fearing men at the
helm of government. We are tired
of partisanship and bitter feeling,
and earnestly desire to sec frater-
nifty and good feeling and hearty
co operation throughout the country
for the general good. t. S.

A petition is in circulation, signed
numerously by young men, asking
the Board to construct walk from
the square to Martin College. What
interest the Board can have in pre-
serving the shine upon the young
mems boots, is more than we can
see. Take up a collection from
among yourselves, gents. There is
enough charity wasted in allowing
you to call at the College occasion
ally, without spending money to
facilitate the imposition.

1t is said that DR.. G. p. Dorset

of the Advent, Nashville, and will
resign his pastorate of the Church
of the Messiah in Pulaski and al
once move to his new charge. DR.

full and popular here and his loss
will be regretted universally. We
hope he may prosper in his new
field of labor, and that his work
may prosper under his able minis

Brick Church Items.

We have been almost overwhelm
ed with mud for the last few weeks,
and as to going to Pulaski we were
terror stricken at the very thought
of it. BY the way, if that extra
thousand had been appropriated by
the Court to the Pulaski and Brick
Church road, it would have been
comforting a public good that we
feel would be highly appreciated.
1t is to be regretted that the peo-
pie of Pulaski do not feel it more to
their interest to have a first-class
road in this direction. l have heard
it predicted more than once that
the products of this part of the
county will be taken to Lewisburg
as soon as the railroad is COMPLETED
to that place. There will of course
be capitalists there, and it will be
far preferable to haul over thirteen
miles of splendid pike to going over
eleven miles of mud holes and hills
to our county seat. Can Pulaski
not see it so? Colunbia is ahead
of her in regard to roads.
Mr.. Henry Bugg is rejoicing in
the pleasant weather, and well he
may, for he says during that cold
spell fire even froze in his stove.
How it makes us shiverl
Mr.. Tommie Fry spent a night in
the neighborhood this week. 1t
does US good for him to come, for
his coming reminds us of days long
gone by. Mr.. Laird looks dread
fully woe be-gone since his chill
dren moved away. Mr.. Robert
jackson got back from Georgia last
week. He did not find much de-
mand for his stock, as the market
was overlooking. We have neg
lected to say that the B. c. stock
was bought by Mr.. Polk Blackburn
and DIR. and w. A. Rothrock.

Will you allow Us another brie

either of laughable or laudabl'
nature since our last report.
We don't propose to enlarge the
interest of your paper by our cor
res pondence, but we are forced tC
believe that it would be more en-
deared to many of your distant sub
scribers. Mr.. Will Harwell who
immigrated to Colorado, thence &c
Texas, expressed his gratitude tc
his relatives in seeing the few items
of this place in your Christmas
issue. Pisgah lies very near the
hearts of many who are now dis
charging the most prominent duties
assigned to men; many who were
born here either temporarily or spir
itually.

The few days of pretty weather
have opened great sensations in our
agricultural class. Mr.. j. NJ. Ay-
NETT, purchaser Of the larger por-
ton of Mrs. Pitts farm, is erecting
buildings and subduing the thickets
as the Americans did after driving
ont the Indians from this land OF
ours.
Mr.. Monroe Smith has recupera-
ted after several months illness, but
does not leave his home only in
pretty weather, through fear of re-
lapsing. He is more fieshy than
ever before.
The Sunday school convenes
punctually at 9 A.. N. 1t comprises
quite a number, and indications
point to much good. After school,
Prof. Swan, one Of the most efficient
teachers in Giles, instructs his
choir for n considerable time. We
are elated to have such a vocal mu-
siciap in our midst, and hope that
he will remain long with us. The
Pisgah edifice, whose towering head
is seen at a distance, being dedica-
ted to holy and upright things,
seems very dear to US. The people
comprised it by plank fence and
set out trees, so as to make it more
beautiful and pleasant in warm sea-
sons. The grave yard which de.
mands our strongest ties, was great
ly exposed to the trample Of stock,
was also fenced.

There was a balloon found in the
top of a tree standing upon tae

would have a political reform. An

discovered it, and being much terri
fed was turned TO prayer: lord,

The Tax Collectors Office was
crowded Monday like ticket
wagon Of circus. Hundreds wait
ed until the last day to pay their
taxes. The books were closed
Monday evening, and now delin-
quents will have to pay costs. The
Legislature will do a great injustice
if they postpone the collection now.
The greater part of the taxes has
been collected, and much more
would have been paid if the Legis
lature had not been foolishly daily
ing with the question. Don't put it
off. Men will be less able to pay in
in October. Southern States and
Southern people handle their imam
ces too loosely anyhow, and the only
safe way to administer State affairs
is to force men rigidly to the letter
of the law. The State sets very
injurious example by its looseness
and indeterminate way of forcing
obligations. 1t will be unjust to
those who have paid, do no good to
those who have not paid, and lnjure
the State, if the collection is de-
ferred.
