FIRE AND ROBBERY.
A Chapter Of Incidents in the Brick
Church Neighborhood.

On Friday night last chapter of
incidents occurred in the Brick
Church country which was not only
damaging to several persons, but
alarming to all. lncendiarles and
thieves have been at work, About
midnight on the night referred to
the barn of Mr.. John f. Clark was
set fire to and burned, together with
his new crop of hay and oats just
harvested. Our informant did not
know the extent of the damage in
dollars and cents, but il was a very
serious one to Mr.. Moore.
About the time this barn had
burned down Mr.. Clark saw another
blaze about mile and a half away,
which proved To be the store house
of Mr.. j. K. Trigg. Mr.. Trigg and
his clerk were both sleeping in the
dwelling house near by and were
awakened by the explosion of keg
of powder, When they arrived at
the store it was in a blaze almost
all over, and nothing but a few
bushels of wheat in the rear of the
house was saved. His entire stock,
together with his books and large
lot of barter were entirely lost and
no insurance. 1t was with difficulty
that the dwelling was saved. The
exact amount of the loss is not
known, but it must be three or four
thousand dollars at least. Mr..
Trigg we learn has already CON
MERGED the work of rebuilding.
The same night the smoke house
of Mr.. Jas. Moore was robbed of
about 600 pounds of bacon. The
loss was not known until the next
day when the smoke house was en-
tered for the purpose of getting
meat to cook for dinner, and there
was no meat there,
1t is the supposition that the fires
were the work of band who sought
to cover up their track and hide
their robberies, or else to attract at
tention so that they could more
safely perpetrate them.

Mr.. EDITOR People are now be-
ginning to gather about and dis
cuss matters in general, such as the
State debt question, and indeed
there is a great diversity Of opin-
ion. Some are for repudlating the
entire debt while others are for pay
ing it. /, for one, think we should
pay it now while an opportunity
presents itself, and prevent the dis
grace which would inevitably Come
upon us if we repudiate. Corn and
cotton are principally laid by now
and there is surely fine prospect,
if we could only have q good rain
corn in particular, is suffering now.
Wheat is nearly all threshed, but
the yield Is below the anticipations
of the people on account of being
frozen out in the winter, but the
quality is very good.
Our little town has been honored
by the presence of several fair
ones. Miss Clara Bodenhamer, who
has been teaching at Brick Church,
is now visiting relatives in this
vicinity. We only wish that we
had hundred like her, and that
she would take up her residence
among us, but those with whom she
has been residing are unwilling to
give her up. May success crown
her in the profession which she is
destined to ornament. Mr.. Jessie
Flautt and his charming sister,
Miss Rebecca, have also been visit
ing here.
Prof. Anderson, who closed his
school few weeks since with such
satisfactory results, has again opened
with a still larger attendance. The
Professor is liked by all and we
think they should sustain him in
his efforts to build up a school at
this place. Mr.. John Williamson
who has been attending school here
will leave us and commence teach
ing in Lawrence soon. May he be
successful in his new calling.
Buck and Reb are now the cham
pion yarners of the day since Josh's
absence. Each tries to excel the
other and nobody believes either;
but now, Mr.. Editor, we are tres
passing on your valuable space. i
will bid you adieu. JUyEHUs.

Promises like pie crust are made
to be broken; therefore we come in
week behind time.
The weather is very dry; crops
are suffering very much for rain
early corn already cut off one-third.
Wheat threshing is finished, and
the wheat is fast passing out of the
producers hands. The yield was
generally small, but The sample is
very good.
The general health is very good,
considering the hot dry weather.
Several of our invalids have gone
in search of health. Mrs. DR.. John
son and Mrs. A. j. Kersey have
gone to Summertown. S. W. Cas-
KEY and Uncle Archy Wells have
gone on a ramble through Lawrenco
county. We hope they may all re-
turn in good health.
Mr.. Jas II. Reynolds and lady OF
Memphis arrived at Lynnville this
morning, refugees from the yellow
fever. Mr.. Reynolds is a son OF
the late James Reynolds, Esq, OF
this vicinity. He is a ship carpen
ter. and has been for several years
on the Mississippi river. He spent
several months among relatives and
friends here last year during the
epidemic.
Mrs. Ella Follis of Marshall
county is in very bad health. She
is at her fathers, Mr.. Caskey. Hope
she may soon recover.
Esq. Jos. Wilson is bappy-it is

Monday evening last. He was rid

the evening and when nearly oppo-

being suddenly refined up by the
doctor and perhaps cut with a
switch at the same time, reared and
fell, throwing the doctor heavily to
the macadimized street. producing

the Doctor was conveyed in an I'M

During the evening and night he
was wholly unconscious, and evil

he was better and at intervals CON

der the influence of narcotics. He
complained of being very sick at
the stomach and suffered greatly
with his head. His physicians con

interest was manifested In his case
throughout the town yesterday. He
has many warm friends who sin

Health is extremely good. with
0"' ~ u.oatns to mention since
our last. Dry weather is now dis
tur5ing the minds of the unweary.
Corn and cotton are suffering very
greatly for rain, it having been four
weeks last Sabbath since our last
rainfall. Wheat averaged through
out the entire neighborhood about
five bushels per acre. Oat crops
are better than usual this year.
Peaches and apples none; garden
vegetables all dried up. With none

that day we drifted to that pleasant

in sight and Immediately our ears
were filled with the happy songs of
the S. 5. children who were led by
Mrs. Barum. We have not words TO
express the pgaise the lady and her
little band richly deserves. Next
was the reading of the Declaration
OF Independence by Mrs. = Kings
lev, which was delivered IN the best
style we ever heard. Unfaltering
in her speech, queenly in appear
ance, her delivery of those century
living words was all that could be
asked to arouse the patriotism OF
of all who had the privilege to hear
it. Some remarks were made but
no addresses owing to no previous
Arrangements being made. Under
the guidance of MIR. - Webster the
entire assembly were then led
through the grove to heavy-laden
table prepared for all and supplied
with the best of meats, loaves and
and luxuries of every description,
which ever characterizes that peo-
pie for being the most hospitable
that we have ever met. After

the stage by the charming strains
of old uncle Jacks violin. Then
the tipping of the light fantastic
was begun but not long did it last
until the gentle showers began to
decend and refresh all both animate
and inanimate. Taking ourselves TO

doubly assure you was not found
wanting in any particular. Being
somewhat crowded, l believe it only
made the amusements of the eve
ming more varied. After supper the
dancing was kept up until the wee
sma hours of the night. Our party
was small. We are pleased to say
that Mr.. r. j. Reed, in company
with Miss NJ. E. Angus, were in at
tendance and we hope their trip
was very pleasant, and feel safe in
saying that you will have to ring
in new set before you can equal
the beauty and gracefulness exhib-
tied on that occasion. We also had
the unbounded pleasure of meeting
Mr.. James Logue, the boss quill
man of the Free Press. We found
him very pleasant in every particu-
lar; nevertheless he sailed into port
under erroneous reports, yet we
don't think 1t impoverished his
grandiloquent genius in the least.
Well, James, that girl is all right;
you need not fear. May you safely
sail in port under the true ensign
at some time is the wish of a friend.
Taking leave of the party on the
morning following we were led to
eXClaim that more hospitable peo-
pie, more handsome girls and more
courteous gentlemen it has never
been our pleasure to meet. We
tender them our sincere thanks and
well-wishes for all time to come.
Again on last Saturday it was
our good luck to help to partake of
the loaves and fishes prepared by
the elite of Big Creek under the
auspices of Mr.. Mac Alexander, j.

the Yokely prong of Big Creek-one

foliage was swayed to and fro by
the gentle zephyrs in graceful undu-
lations, with plenty for all and plen-
ty left. Every one wore a counte
nance of satisfaction. Having got
into the heads of the young folks to
have a hop we would say to
all it seemed the most enjoyable
affair ever INDUCED in for a long
time. We noticed quite a num-

will be well to remember the admv-

flying visit last week. We hope
their stay was pleasant, and they
may visit US again soon. We are
always ready to welcome such Wis

visitors at the Springs yet except
the distinguished and we'll known

Tell. We know he will never have
cause to regret his stay at Elkmont

a sound has broken the dead silence
of an hour, save the musical voice
of our bachelor friend as he rides
along the highway singing mo one

would say to him, be of good cheer,
for the sun is still shining. His
fate is the common fate of q good
many now. AS 1 am getting on
that list myself, l can sympathize
with him in his loneliness, for l
know he would marry at any time
if he could get the chance, as well
as myself. The matrimonial ques-

Crops in this vicinity have been
looking finely until the last week.
They are suffering greatly for want
of rain. L. it continues dry few
days longer very little will be made.
Death has invaded our commu-
nifty of late and borne away another
of its worthy members. On TIE
morning of the LIST of this month.
Mrs. Vaughan, wife of our worthy
friend, r. b. Vaughan, departed
this life, of heart disease. To the
bereaved family we tender our
heartfelt sympathies.
Also on the 18th, little Andrew,
son OF Mrs. Tennle White, died
very suddenly. The cause of his
death we do not know. Weep not
fond mother! your darling one has
joined another loved one in that
world above.
On the Sth party consisting oil
the young people went out whortle
berry hunting, and would have had
fine time had it not so happened
that couple of widowers CHANGED
to get with them. They were such
an annoyance to the fair sex and
young men that we began to think
we would have a dull time. But the
girls soon revived and we had q
gay time indeed. We had an alarm
however, by one of the fair ones
falling from the wagon. No bones
broken though, only a few tears
shed. After gathering berries till
all were wearied, we found beauti-
full spring in a shady grove where
we were greatly refreshed by the
cool water and . splendid din
ner prepared by the girls, which
was enjoyed by almost especial
ly by the widowers. On Wednes-
day afterwards, another party com
posed of Misses Nj. G., NJ. H., b.
NJ, and M. NJ, Messrs. f. H., c. p.
and f. g., paid a visit to Fall River
Mill and Wool Factory in Lawrence
county. They say they enjoyed it
very much, and saw ever so many
berries; but they did not bring any
to prove it. For fear of wearying
your patience we will bid you
adieu. MADELLoN.

THE COMPROMISE.
The Discussion Last Monday be-
i tween Hon. John Ballanfant and
Capt. Lester.

Quite a crowd of people were in
town on Monday last and listened
with much interest to a discussion
of the state Debt question between
Hon. Jno Ballanfant of Maury and
Hon. Jno. G. Lester of this county.
1t was expected thst Hon. w. p.
FOLEY of Lincoln county would be
present on the occasion but having
failed to come his place was fully
supplied by Mr.. Lester. The dis
cussion was quite animated. 1t was
the first opportunity our people had
of hearing the low tax reputation
sentiment proclaimed by a man who
did not object to being called a Re-
pudiator. Mr.. Testers speech was
as usual for him full of argument,
honest, frank and manly. He insis-
ted that the state owed the debt be-
cause it was constitutionally created
by her Governors and Legislatures
in the mode prescribed by law, and
that having now an opportunity to
settle that debt honorably by pay
ing only one half of it, it was then
folly not to avail ourselves of the
opportunity. He drew ludicrous
picture of what he termed the
weight of authority in favor of the
Legality and validity of the debt, in
which he pictured an immense pair
of balances with Governor Polk,
Jones, Campbell, Trousdale, Came
ron, johnson and Harris in one
scale and Mr.. Ballanfant and saw
age in the other, and invited his
audience to note the result.
Mr.. Ballanfant did not deal in
facts and figures, but in an off-hand
and original way pitched into bond
holders, railroads, capitalists, legis-
latures. rings and public men which
was at least amusing to his audi
ence. He claimed that the State
did not owe the debt, but that if it
did he would not advise its pay
ment. He said that the conflict
was between capital and labor, and
that it was the only chance the PEG
pie would ever have to decide this
question. Rejoinders were made
by both parties, and the best of hu
NOR prevailed, and much interest
was manifested. Frequent discus
sions were had during the day upon
the street between excited dispu-
tants, which resulted as usual in
such cases-each party being thor
oughly convinced that the other was
wrong, if not a fool.
