NATURAL SELECTION.

Investigators of natural science have
demonstrated beyond controversy that
throughout the animal kingdom the
''survival of the httest" Is the only law
that vouchsafes thrift and perpetuity.
Docs not the same principle govern. the
commercial prosperity OF man? An in
Gle. By reason of superior merit, Dr.
Pierce's Standard Medicines have out
rivaled all Others. Their sale in the
United States alone exceeds one million
ported foots up TO several hundred
thousands more. No business could grow
TO such gigantic proportions and rest up
on any other basis than that of merit.

MIR. EDITOR Everything is NOV
ing along kindly enough. Our
farmers are through with the labo-
rious task of threshing their wheat
The average is four or five bushels
per acre, and quality about equal to
quantity. Notwithstanding the fail
ure IN wheat, we are above want. l
have no fears of losing my biscuits
three times a day. We have suf-
flciency if properly used. Corn that
has been well tended looks very
promising. King Cotton and Gen
eral Green are now in a fearful con-
test for supremacy. In some local
tiles the king has achieved the VIC
tory and yields the scepter. We
think him very eXtravagant fellow
with horse feed; he destroys great
deal of hay In the generals defeat.
The king has protested great finan-
cial friendship to the people of
Giles, for which we give him credit,
but for the last few years he has
fallen behind with US. We have in
this neighborhood about deter
mined to dissolve our connection
with him, and withdraw from his
employ. l desire to give the king
final farwell to the burning sands
of the sunlit vallies far south.
Away with the king, that some 9th
er benefactor may room in his stead
that will not leave our mother earth
SCARED with its ravishing tooth and
barren as brick yard.
The free schools are now in pro-
gress Mr.. S. A. r. Swan has a
very large school at Bethany, and it
is still on the increase. Mr.. Edmis-
ton and Mr.. Northcross each has a
school in the neighborhood. Miss
Lula McGavock has a fine school at
Bee Spring.
If you are fond of good vocal
music you can satisfy your appre-
citation of it by attending a sacra-
mental meeting at Bee Spring
church on the third Sunday in Au-
gust.
S. j. Hollon will start to Texas
soon prospecting. If he likes the
country will probably make it his
future home. Sam is a good work
man, and will go well recommended.
DR.. LaFar gave US a splendid
lecture at Bethany on the night OF
the 18th inst. He is man of SUI
perior information and clothes his
thoughts with fine language. We
welcome our friend Mrs. Andrews
again, who is visiting relatives in
our midst. ANXIOUS.

Very truly, sir,
L. b. HARWELL.

Our meeting continued ID days
The weather was intensely hot, the
attendance and order good, preach
ing faithful, number of conversions
40, accessions to the Church 81
May all the vows taken be faith
fully kept, and the gentle influence
of the gospel of peace and good will
pervade our whole community.
Instead of profit on the wheat
crop we lose from three to five dol
lars an acre. So we must continue
to practice industry, economy and
frugality. Corn and cotton now
promise a good yield.
Col. Wilkerson is recovering, and
will soon be able to overlook his
business on the farm. Misses
Blanche Scales and Fannie Wilker-
son have gone to Maury county on
business for the Colonel. Hope
they will be successful and return
soon.
Mr.. Geo. Freeman, an energetic,
frugal, well to-do renter, went to
Texas last year to better his condi-
ton, but returned a few days ago
and wishes to secure a home here.
Miss Lizzie Alternately has been
with US again, but is now at Rey-
nolds' Sta. A lady of her modesty
and worth always receives a cordial
welcome from us. She "scatters
seeds of Kindness" and exercises
an elevating influence wherever she
goes. JEssAMINE.

over the signature of "X' to be
come candidate to represent the
Floaterial district of Giles and Lin.
coin counties in the next Genera
Assembly of the State. For the

and for the expressions of conf
dence and esteem it contains, l ten
der my grateful Acknowledgements

ity of our people, and have no high
er ambition or more sincere wish
than to be useful to those who have
honored me in the past, and with
whom l am identified by every con-
sideration of interest, association
and sympathy.
This, regard, sir, as a critical
period in the affairs of our State,
one in which questions are present
ed which the people should weigh,
calmly and dispassionately, with the
clearest judgment, and in which
they should select their representa-
tives with special reference to the
important duties that may devolve
upon them. II, however, they should
in their convention, and through
the ballot box, reflect the wish of
your correspondent, it will DE my
pride to accept the position with a
full sense of the responsibility it
imposes, and 1 pledge myself to
make an honest effort to serve them
faithfully and proftably to the best

Mr.. EDIToR:-The "good people
still live, at Buford's Station and
vicinity, and are not in a state OF
lethargy, as the readers of your val
liable CITIZEN have right to pre-
sumo, as never a letter from here
they see. Our "Station Car" { Kerr

weeks ago. He had run without

pair his shattered wreck; so he left

the best medicine one can take.
After three weeks sojourn he has
returned, and looks like a freshly
painted Car, assure you. He was
missed, yet the whistling, bustling
and roaring went on in The usual
style. Mr.. Warden is an exemplary
merchant, active, punctual, cour-
teous and attentive, and never lets
business grow dull where he is. His
nephew can leave again. Mr.. Bran
nan, and his estimable clerk, Mr.
Mitchell, are constantly engaged in
waiting on their numerous visitors.
Do not wish to deteriorate or de
press the buoyant spirits of other
enterprising merchants, but do not
hesitate in saying (as we have heard
older and wiser heads remark that
there is not a better business car
ried on in Giles county than at Blu
ford's Station.
Sunday, 21st inst, Rev. Mr.. Bar
bee delivered a splendid sermon at
Olivet. The day was warm, but the
great number who flocked there to
listen to his eloquence seemed to
forget the heat; consequently, en-
joyed the discourse most well.
When he had concluded, two young
ladies, former pupils of DR.. Rivers,
exclaimed simultaneously: "Oh!
sister, he equaled DR.. Rivers, didn't

neighborhood for the purpose of at
lending the meeting, and of course
making glad the hearts of friends.

on Sunday last. We are always
glad to see visitors, but fear "Cous-

we havn't one to spare.
Mr.. Dickerson, We are happy to
state, is again recovering, after a
third relapse. Glad to see Miss
Belle Brandon at church; but mind,

midst. DIR. Brown has frequent
calls, but he is a quick doctor and a
good one, and his patients are soon
relieved. BRIToMARTIs.

Jim Andrews and Ed Craig were
seen vending their way to the depot
through the hot sun Sunday morn
ing last to board the train, the for

latter-well, he was going to stop in
the inn MedG)a-te neighborhood.
In due time they reached their des-
tination, and were cordially received
and were entertained with such ele-
gance and grace that they soon lost
sight of every hing else except the
present surroundings. Swiftly the
hours rolled round UNDECIDED, when
all at once they were startled by the
scream of the locomotive which was

caused them to rise up anu stare at
each other with greatly perplexed
countenances. But not second

which lay between them and the de
pot must be made in Ten Brock

tiers, umbrellas, fans, bouquets, and
other encumbrauces while the Their
mometer ranged at about 9S. They
were making pretty good time, but
as Ed was crossing the creek on the
foot-log a gust of wind got under
his umbrella, causing him to lose
his balance and fall in. He did not
stop here to wiring out his soX, but
continued the race, for he knew he
must be at the store next morning.

The canvass waxeth hotter; so
does the weather. Candidates are
making things rather lively just
now. One of them was out not
long since, and after securing the
services of one of our villagers as a
guide, started across the country
and got lost within a mile of the
starting point. So much for-well.
A very fine, portly looking gen
tleman wearing a big buster and
umbrella, and riding a fine horse
passed through our village the 9th
er day, and after passing our sane
tum a few rods turned upon his
horse and with bland smile play
ing over his countenance, remarked,
"don't put my name in the papers,
do you hear" All right says

some more nit a pen. 1t would
be better for us had we accepted
an invitation to a seat in the Euro

centennial in Paris last week. II
we anticipate such a thing next

to his skill, as il has baffled that of

sight and that of her little daughter
may be fully restored is the earnest
wish of her friends. 1t is bad to be
blind, but worse to have to endure |
such painful sensations.
