Lynnville Items.

For ten daye past rain has been
daily expected, and the long expect
ed rain came IN floods Friday night.
The owner of every fat porker had
made every preparation to stop his
eating corn. All the weather
prophets were unanimous that it
would be intensely cold when it
rained. But not so. and the porker
still lives and the corn melts away.
What now, Mr. prophet? A mum
Der killed hogs the late cold spell
and have lost their pork, which will
make the rest of us very cautious
The rain and warm weather has
brought up the wheat nicely and
some fears are entertained that it is
too thick, as it appears every grain
has come up, whereas of ordinary
dry years l think not more than z
germinate. Early sown wheat looks
beautiful, but there is much talk of
Hessisn fly. Squire w. o. West s
and Jim Robbins wheat are report
ed badly affected with it. Friends
of DR.. johnson were glad to learn
that he is in Arkansas with his fine
stock. They were attacked with
lung fever and sales were slow. The
fine weather has enabled planters to
get the cotton out and 1T is coming
in at rate that astonishes every
body. The receipts the the past
week were about so bales per day.
One firm bought So bales on Thurs
day. One OF PulaskPs celebrate
buyers visited US this week. He bid
on several lots but got none. He
left on foot disguised and it was re-
ported that he had been run over by
the train. We don't like Crow,
but this one is an exception. We
hope he will visit US often and sue
coed better. Come again, Jim.
Only a short time since Douglass
killed Kerr on Blue creek, and now
another SAD occurrence has hap
pened on same creek. A young
man from Alabama named Kidd
was charged with burglary by
Squire Perry. He got warrant
for Kidd who gave out that no 10
men could arrest him. Constable
LothOrp found him at Mr.. Kincaid's.
He surrendered, but attempted to
get away in the dark, was fired on
and a load of buckshot lodged in
the back of his head and neck-sup-
posed To be MORALLY wounded.
Mr.. Laneave starts this morning
for Florida Miss Lou Cochran,
Mrs. Laneave's sister, who has lived

country over Florida Mr.. 6. W.
Witt and his lovely bride, nee Miss
Mamie Johnston, are visiting her
fathers, to give their parting bless
ing TO her brotcer John White, who

The air is full of matrimonial ru-
mors, and of which your correspon

Giles County's Fatness.

j. n. Patteson writes as follows
from Pulaski to the Cincinnati
Commercial:
In our good county of Giles, sit
uated on the southern boundary o.
the State, we have 10000 inhabi
tants. The value of the farm pro
ducts that will be, and have been
exported are as follows: Wheat
crop, 100000; cotton crop will GER
tainly reach 100000, probably
100000; horses, mules, cattle, hogs
and sheep will bring from $4,000
to 100000. Although one-hali
of the county suffered from drouth,
there will be some corn to spare.
Then there are wool, feathers, fowls
and eggs; besides, there is home
trade that helps considerably to-
wards supporting the family. This
year has been unprecedented for
the production of melons; during
the season for them, almost every
day they could be seen upon the
sidewalks and in wagons weighing
from fifty TO sixty pounds. l saw
Monday three sweet potatoes on
one vine that weighed l24 pounds
There are plenty of them exposed
for sale that weigh from to s
pounds. A man sold a bushel last
week that contained but twelve pc
tatOes. | weighed two pumpkins
that grew on one vine-one drew
108 pounds, the other ~ pounds.
1 saw yesterday one flock of tur
keys driven across the square in
the direction of the depot that con-
tanned LOO. They were to be
shipped to New Orleans.

BULLET IN HIS BRAIN.
An Officers Posse Shoots, Perhaps
Fatally, a Man Accused
Of Burglary.

A few weeks since the house of
Esq. VIM. Perry was entered by
thieves and property stolen. Suspic-
ion pointed to a white man namedJo O.
Kidd, and warrant vas procured
for his arrest and placed in the
hands of Constable Jas. E. Low
thorp. The officer had learned that
Kidd had said he would not be ar
rested and that he carried two pis-
tolls, and he summoned to assist
him Mack Dougherty, Carson Orr
and Frank Kaiser. The party pro-
ceeded last Friday night to the res
idence of Pope Kincaid in the north
ern part of the county and called
KincaId out and asked if Kidd was
there. Learning that he was, Low
thorp stationed his men about the
house and went in and found his
man asleep. He aroused him and
told him what he came for and to
get up and put on his clothes and
he would read the warrant to him.
Kidd got up very slowly and FUN
bled with his clothes until he had
on his pants ana vest, and then
suddenly jumping to the door he
opened it and leaped out. Low
thorp seized him but could not
hold him. He ran past Frank Kai
ser who halted him several times
and then discharged his shotgun at
him. He fell when shot, but at
once arose and ran again. The
men could hear him running for a
minute and theh the noise ceased
and they went to hunt fol him, find
ing him about a hundred yards
from the house on his knees and ell
bows and his face in his hands.
Lowthorp asked him if he was hurt
and he responded that he was shot
in the back of the head. They car
ried him to the house and sent for
DR.. HARDWOOD, who took one buck
shot from his brain. Another
pillow ed a deep cash and glanced,
and another was buried in the flesh.
The wounds will probably prove ia
tai. Kidd declares positively that
he will not die, but the brain is
oozing from his wound. Lowthorp
told his men while they were going
that they would probably have
trouble, as Kidd had said no fifty
men could arrest him, and he told
them that il they had to fire to
shoot him In the legs, but he was
running down hill aud the gun was
not lowered sufficiently. Kidd says
now his name Is Frank Kidd and
that his father lives at Millner, Ran
dolph county, Ala. He has been
written to. Kaiser is very sorry
that he shot, but it appears no
blame can attach TO him. We get
the details from Mr.. Lowthorp him

Midtown.

The personal property Of the late
Curry McGrew was sold a few days
ago by his son Tom, the admins
traitor. Prices demonstrated the
truth that there is an upward ten
dency in financial matters-a return
of better times. However, some
body at the sale seemed to be with
out money, and stealthily appropri-
ated a good silver watch that was
hanging to the wall. 1t is said that
heavy suspicion rested upon a GER
tain colored man. The last we
heard of the matter an arrest was
contemplated. Mr.. Newt. Woods,
formerly of Bohemian, has opened
family grocery and notion estab
lishment on our branch. He sp-
pears to be a gentleman of business
tact, and will doubtless conduct the
business with propriety. Thus con
Quoted, such an establishment will
be a convenient and valuable acqui-
sition to our neighborhood.
The late cold snap, it is said, in
jured the cotton very much. Many
bolls that would develop in a few
days were blighted by the freeze.
However, we have had an extraor
binary fine fall People here are
nearly done gathering III the crops.
The people are pleased With the
new preacher, the Rev. Mr.. Byron.
He had large and appreciative au-
dience at Friendship last Sunday.
There were, however, only seven
resident ministers present, six OF
whom live in three or four miles Of
each other. Would you like to be
chicken and live in those partsp
The people there certainly ought TO
have the bread of life abnndantly
dispensed.
We are sorry to hear of the pain
full accident sustained by our wor-
thy young friend Port Anderson.
While preparing some stove wood a
piece struck him in one eye, putting
1t, as we learn, out-even dispiacing
the ball. He has the sincere sym
patty Of everybody.
Mrs. Jane RheA, aged IA years,
died here at the residence of Mr..
Dupree Claxton. her SOD in law, on
the 7th inst. Deceased was the
daughter of William Snow, decd,
who came to this county soon after
its organization. Mrs. Rhea was
an inoffensive woman, a worthy
member of the non resurrection
wing of the Baptist Church and rem
dered herself welcome and useful
-among the sick. She rests, no
doubt, in the pilgrims home in
glory"

Do You Wish to Sell Your Land?

Nashville Banner: We are re-
quested by the Commissioner of
Agriculture, Statistics, Mines and
immigration, to ask of every one in
the State who has land for sale to
immigrants to send into his Office
a notice of that fact. Immigration
is beginning slowly to turn its head
in this direction. Constant inquiry
is made of tracts, both by letter
and in person. But it is impossible
for him to give such information,
unless he has it from the owner.
He may tel. them there is plenty OF
land to sell in Bedford or Hickman
OF Maury; but it is nOt what they
want. They want to know the par
ticulars, the name OF the owner, the
price of the land, its improvements,
tlmber-wbat sort it has and how
much-and, in fact, everything You
would wish To know if you wanted
to buy. Above all things set down
the minimum price and how long
time you allow him to pay it. Do
not expect to ask one price and
take another; but tell just what will
buy il. 1t will only cost page or
two OF writing paper and stamp, but
it may sell your land. Some want
large tracts and many want small
ones-from % to 100 acres. These
land letters will be filed for refer
ence and shown to all inquirers,
and it may result, and no doubt
will, in the sale of a great deal of
land that is not low known of as
being for sale. Write it plainly
and legibly, so that any one can
read it easily. If you write law
yer's hand, get your neighbor to
write it for you. But send them to
Col. j. B. Killebrew at once.

A boy thirteen years old. by the
name of Briggs, who was arraigned
before our court a short time ago
on charge of horse stealing, but
was released from the court for
some reason. Last week. Briggs
having gone 20 Giles after he was
released wanted to come back to
Lawrence and did not want to wax.
So he saddled up a horse without
the owners knowledge or consent
and rode it here, putting it in the
lot behind the Bentley Brick Row.
He did not seem to cafe what be
came of the horse, and pursued the
''even tenor of his way" on foot.
In a few hours after his arrival
here, Messrs. MeredIi b and Wash
ington, of Giles, arrived in pursuit
of him. They Obtained the horse
but they also wanted the boy to
ride him back to Giles. So they
put Deputy Sheriff D. A. Bentley
on his trail with the necessary "pa
pers," and in q few hours he came
back with Briggs behind him on
his horse. Briggs is a youthful
criminal. He was carried to Giles,
where we suspect he will not get off
so easily as he did here, for his last
ride on horseback on a Borrowed
horse. - Lawrenceburg Press.

Our young friend Frank Webb
has invented a combination lock
intended specially tor the Post
Office department of the Govern
ment. 1t is a curious, ingenious,
vet simple combination, and is
proof against thieves. 1t would be
impossible for US to explain 1T. Any
combination from to 1899, 999, 990
may be used as the owner may pre-
fer and it will be impossible for any
one who does not know the comb
nation to unlock it. He has applied
for patent and will offer it to the
government for its adoption. After
he had first conceived the idea be
was encouraged by high govern
ment officials to bring it to perfec-
ton, as there was a want for such
an invention. He has certainly
succeeded well and there is a strong
probability that it Will prove a DO
nanza TO him. We sincerely hope
It may. He Is a deserving, worthy

skill and industry from his father,
