This bill country has been blessed
with copious refreshing rains, which
have kept our crops growing and
looking well. There has been no
whisky, no money, nothing to con-
sumo our time or annoy the minds
of the people Except cut worms. }
During this spring our people have
been working very industriously
and have kept their corn a1d other
fields pretty clean of weeds. Bread
stuffs are scarce enough to sweeten
the loaves of each, corn and wheat,
and if work and anxiety will bring
us an abundant crop we will have it
this year. Wheat harvest has
opened with prospects of a pretty
fair yield-good for the light stands
in the fields. We think the grain
will be better than it has been in
8 years.
Two persons living within two
miles of here have fallen instantly
dead within a few weeks of each
other, viz: Mrs. VIM. Newton, Of
heart disease, and Neill S.,s of Esq.
VIM. j. Brown, who had been from
childhood afflicted with epilepsy.
The latter was found last Tuesday
evening dead. Esq. Brown set an
example in the funeral exercises
worthy of imitation. While his
OWE pastor lived fer away. he cav
that his son could get a Christian
nari~ anyhow-he called on two OF
/ his Methodist neighbors, who

The refreshing showers with
which we have been blessed recent

our agriculturists, and given vegeta-
ton a more flattering appearance.
Queen summer is making her adj
vent accompanied by the scorchipg

one that nothing is more pleasant
than a rest under the shade. Wheat
IS being harvested; the yield we

extravagant expectations. The gen

by the children the meeting was

Parker's Store.

This community was startled at
the announcement that Mr.. Dennis
Stems residence was destroyed by
fire last Wednesday morning about
8 o'clock. Three of the younger
children of the family were asleep
in the room at the time the fire
broke out, bat were rescued by Mr..
Will Gaines. The remainder of the
family being in the field at the time
very few articles of value were
saved. The loss is a serious one to
the family, and they have the SYM
pathy of the community. 1t is sup
posed that the fire originated from
the stove, as it cannot be accounted
for in any other way. Mr.. j. 5.
Williamson's kitchen was also burnt
a few days ago, but do not know as
to the loss. This section of coun-
try has been very unfortunate in the
way of fires in the last few years,
perhaps more so than any other
during the same length of time.
Mr.. j. A. has been assisting Mr..
G. ii. Cameron to cultivate his crop
for the last few days. Dave Follis
says he wouldn't care, but then his
ma needs him to home. Success
and much happiness to you.
Mr.. Geo. Gillian and his family
of Maury county have been stop
ping for few days with bis father
here on his way to Texas. We wish
him a happy sojourn in the Lone
Star State.
Miss Alice Hamlet of Wales was
visiting at Mr.. j. M. Parker's n few
days ago. Such visitors are always
welcome.
Busters are in full bloom now in
our village, and if the skedaddling
process could be got into operation
we could have some good marble
yards.
A new feature has been added to
the Sunday school here. Mr.. r. j
Anderson of Salem Is giving a Sc
RES of lessons in vocal music, as
sisted by our worthy superinten-
dent j. Nj. Parker. Music is an i'm
portant part of religious worship
and the class should appreciate the
opportunity to acquire knowledge
of the art.
Mr.. Jerome Chapman is in receip
of some perfumed shells. Lookout
girls, don't be surprised if your oil
factories are saluted with odor
sweet.
The third quarterly meeting 70
the Lynnville circuit will be held a
Hebron next Saturday and Sunda,

ment of the Lords Supper will b
administered. The latch strings o
our doors are on the outside to al
who wish to attend. Come and ties

A Splendid Opportunity for n
LADY of This County.

The Queen City Suspender Company
of Cincinnati are now manufacturing
and introducing their new stocking sus-
penders and supporters for ladies and
children. They give to the movements
of children while at play, and do not
bind or injure any part OF the body ;
our leading physicians recommend
them and are loud in their praise. This
manufacturing establishment is man
aged by ladies, who have made the
wants of ladies and children study and
they ask us to refer them to some reli-
able and energetic lady, to introduce
them in this county, and we certainly
think that an earnest solicitation in
every household would meet with a
ready response, and that determined
woman could make handsome salary
during the summer months. We advise
some intelligent lady of this county,
who is in need of employment, to drop
a postal card to the Company, and mem
ton this paper. Address
Mrs. b. O. Smith, Manager,
ala Elm Street, Cincinnati, Ohio.

four million pictures of all descrip-
tions. They publish every descrip-
ton of fine pictures, and the prices
range from ten cents upwards to
twenty dollars per copy. They
publish only the better class of
pictures, and it is well known that
anything coming from this reliable
house is of standard merit. We
have just received copies of four
very fine steel engravings, which
they have just brought out. The.
plates were engraved in London, at
an expense of four thousand pounds
sterling, or twenty thousand dollars,
to which great sum must be added
the customs duty of twenty five per
cent. on account of their being i'm
ported into the United States.
These engravings are after paint
ings by modern great masters of
art, and the artists who engraved
the plates stand in the front rank
of the worlds renowned engravers.
We cannot better illustrate the
magnitude of their business than to
state the amount of money paid by
them for postage stamps during the
years 1876, 1877, and 1873. We
have the figures direct from the
firm or we should think there was
some error. In 1876, they paid for
postage $33,1O4.92. In 1877. they
paid for postage $37,26S.76. In
1878 the amount of money that they
paid for postage stamps was simply
enormous little over $50,00O.00.
Stinson 81 Co., stand among the
largest and most judicious advertis-
ers in the country, and short time
since paid in q single day $24, 900 in
cash for contract for advertising.
They employ agents everywhere
Throughout the United States and
Dominion of Canada for the sale of
their pictures by subscription; we
call attention To their advertisement
for agents in another column.
Besides paying the large amounts
of postage stated above, their ex-
press and freight bills are enormous
only small orders are sent by mail,
the larger being sent by express
and freight.

The Terry Rangers.

Capt. j. X. z. Blackburn returned
last Wednesday from a visit to his
old Texas home. He went special
ly to attend a reunion of his old
regiment, the Sth Texas, known as
Terry's Rangers. This regiment
was one of the best in the Cenfed
crate service, and their many deeds
of valor through this country en-
deared them to this people. The
regiment was composed of the very
best men of Texas. under a call by
b. +. Terry for men who would come
armed and equipped, and was 1.O27
strong, of whom BIT surrendered.
1t was in SOS skirmishes and battles
and was out of actual service only
81 days, doing a service perhaps
equalled by no other regiment, cary
ing for itself a record which shall
live in the annals of chivalrous fame
beside that of the Old Guard. J..
K. p. Blackburn was the Captain of
Co. f. and met 50 of his brothers in
arms in reunion at San Antonio on
May 21st and 22nd, where they had
a most pleasant meeting. We are
indebted to Capt. B. for late Texas
papers giving a full account of the
reunion with q history of the regi-
ment, and also others of latest Tex
as news.

A tramp calling himself Gen.
Brown arrived in town last week
He thought he was Government
store house and at once com
menced to stow away all the whisky
in town; and when he had filed up
all his ware rooms he concluded to
tear up Pulaski and make corner
on kindling wood at his next sta
tion, saying he was ''going to raise
h-ll and bust open the govern
ment''. He hadn't split up more
than two carloads of kindling, nor
raised more than thirteen his,
nor busted open more than nine
States and few Territories, before
The Police got back from the
springs. They had to break his
neck two or three times, cave IN his
head, twist his arms off at the ell
bow and break his back with a
fence-rail before he noticed them, and
then they hired carriage and drove
to Jail in a wheelbarrOw, with
twister on his nose and six men on
top Of him to keep him down. He
eat his supper that night just like
human being-or rather, like seven
teen human beings-and kept very
quiet until he thought everybody
was asleep, when he yelled for
water. Henry set up the water to
him, for he had heard tell of how u
fellow wanted 1t at certain stages OF
a drunk, and locked him in again
and retired. Directly he yelled
water again, and again bucket of
water was carried in, but he turned
it over because the bucket was not
full. Again Henry courted sleep,
but his drowsy eyelids were not
permitted to close before the fiend
commenced to yell "water" louder
than he will when he arrives at his
last station. This was repeated
time after time until Henry gagged
him, but he got the gag out every
time and yelled for water like de-
mon yells for hot lead About day
light Henry went in with several
buckets of water and made the
General stand up and open his
mouth and drenched him inside and
out until he slushed over and didn't
have room inside for q good hallOO.
Then he slept sweetly as an infant.

A Large Shipment.

There has been great activity in
wool for the past few weeks, and
our local market has been "boom-
ing" One enterprising firm head
cd by Mr.. Sam Pinkus shipped
$4,000 pounds last week at one
shipment-the largest ever made at
one time from this market, and
shows what enterprise and industry
will do. The firm is composed of
Mr.. Pinkus, Mr.. Sllverberg and Mr..
Hanneberg, all of whom are men OF
business energy and tact. The pri-
ces paid have ranged from 10 to
% cents for unwashed and % to 80
for washed wool. BURY lots have
brought from ten to twelve cents.
Clean feeces have been in greatest
demand. Mr.. Pinkus says it will
pay the wool grower to keep his
sheep and burrs separate.
Wool growing is on the increase
in this section, and we predict that
the prices realized this year will give
it an impetus forward that will
largely increase the production an
other year. 1t is an industry both
pleasant and profitable, requiring
less cash capital than any other
branch of farming. Every farmer
should have flock of sheep both
for mutton and WOO, but many OF
them might handle large hocks
proftably. Those who own large
tracts of land well set in grass and
those who live near the barren
ranges, could hardly turn their at
tention to a more profitable indus
try. Pure bred bucks are now sc
cheap that every sheep grower car
afford to improve his sheep. Ii
fact no man can afford not to i'm
prove them, for here lies the profit

Some Of ou- enterprising stock
men attended the recent series of
stock sales, and made important
purchases. Their efforts to i'm
prove the stock Of the county and
meet the growing demand for the
best breeds, deserve encouragement
and commentator. The purchases
were rs follows: At Brown & Glib

These are all picked animals, and
the best of their breed, and are val
liable acquisitions to the already

We have had an unprecedented

that in the midst of this press OF

he had to take his places at the ca
