something about whipping him and
started towards him. Davis told
him not TO advance, but Williams
ran his hand in his pocket and still
went forward, until he was in few
feet of Davis, when Davis, VINO had
the rifle resting across his left arm,
turned with it in that position and
brought the muzzle within a foot

charged it. The ball entered the

Long Branch,

Our neighborhood has been
the scene of some joyous occas-
ions lately. Our young friend,
Jerome Chapman celebrated his
twenty-first birthday last Tuesday
in a style that was in keeping with
the spirit of such enterprises. The
grave and gay, as we'll as friend and
relative met to offer their hest
wishes, and to congratulate him up
on his debut into the world, to battle
its storms; to get to himself a name
that will be written in blazing char
acters on the pages of history as a
model of virtue and honesty. We
hope that his future life will be as
bright and serene as the day that
saw the daw of his responsibilities as
a man TO act for himself. A sump-
tuous feast was served and all did
honors to it in good style. At
night the young people engaged in a
sociable in which the gay and fes-
tive participated with Characters
tic playfulness-"Tum, tum a lola
look at pap" was one of the princi-
pal plays, in truth it occupies a
prominent position on the pro
gramme of our social parties. Mr..
j. NJ. Parker gave a sociable to his
young friends last Friday night
which was attended by large mum
Der of Big Creeks fairest bellies and
gayest young men, as well as sever
al of our own community. Miss
Alice II and several young gents
from Wales, and Mr.. S. S. Mayfield
of Brentwood, were also in attend
ance. 1t was one of the gayest par
ties of the season, and every one
acted with due Difference TO the
feelings OF the fair hostess, and all
enjoyed the cheese and crackers,
cake and wine TO the fullest extent.

Thank you, Mr.. Editor, for your
kindness In entering our name upon
your list of irregular correspon
dents. AS we escaped the unfath
enable depths of the waste basket,
Well try our hand again, hoping
that the same success will attend
our feeble attempt this and all
other times.
Our creek is noted, particularly
for its three classes of individuals
first, its widows and widewers; sec
ond, its old maids and bachelors
who can't marry, and wish their
parents never had; third, its home
ly girls and saucy boys; all of
whom matrimonially speaking, are
troubled about their future happi-
ness.
Prof. A. II. Cobb of EIkton, who
has been engaged for some time
past in giving lessons in penman-
ship and drawing, gave the closing
exercises Saturday, the 10Th inst,

his urrivalled skill and practical
experience as teacher. Miss Izo-
ra Alternately, the lovely daughter
of Mr.. Jno. Alternately of Big creek,
after a visit of several days to rela
tives, returned to her home last
week, leaving many friends and ad-
mirers. o, come back again. Miss
Felicia Maclin, of Germantown,
Tenn, is on a visit to relatives, and
will remain, probably, for several
months. o, may her stay be long
and pleasant, and may she become
so welded to old Giles, or one OF
her sons, that she may be counted
as our gain, and West Tennis loss.
Our young friend, Tom Aymett, af-
ter several months travelling in
the West, returned a few days
since, to his native heath. We well
come you back again, Tom. Mr..
EphIaim Bass says the next war
will be perfect failure. Hurrah

Martin College.

This institution opened its sew
enth session under the present
President on the 23d inst. 1t has
never made a more suspicious open
ing "a any former period. On the
fourth day the number of pupils
was greater than during the entire
session which began three years
ago. Then there were only four
teachers in all departments, now
there are six. Prof. Werren is
greatly encouraged and has a right
to be, as his class is nearly full.
Miss Alternately commenced with
ten, and has the prospects of large
class in her department of Art. The
school moves on regularly in all de-
partments. President Rivers and
Prof. Casey both say that they have
never known better organized
school Rev. Mr.. Barbee, WHO has
spent many years in colleges and
who is intimately acquainted with
the teachers and teaching, gives
Martin College a hearty endorse
ment. Bishop Keener was so pleased
with the institution as to declare in
the presence of many witness es that
if he had daughter to educate he
would place her at Martin College.
Bishop Wightman, who attended a
commencement here, pronounced
a high eulogium upon the College
and its officers. Gov. Brown in an
eloquent address at the last COM
mencement proclaimed the institu-
ton equal to the best in ali its de-
partments. With these indorse-
ments before US, and with our own
knowledge of the workings of the
College, the ability of it's teachers
and the success thus far Of the en-
terprise, we urge the people of Giles
county TO send in their daughters |
at once if they want to patronize |
the best institution in the land and |
give their daughters a thorough |
training. See new advertisement
