Parker's Store.

Our village is quietly resting be-
meath the lengthening shadows of
autumn whose scar and yellow
leaves are carpeting the earth in
rich and variegated hues. Jack
frost took one little nip in the low
lands, biting few potato tops and
other tender plants and then sped
away to commit his nocturnal dep
relations in colder chimes. Chest
nuts and hickorynuts are falling
and the Juveniles are making the
forest ring with their shouts as
they gather them in. The Young
folks are cooling at each other like
so many little doves on a pleasant
spring morning sitting on a dry
twig of the old lynn tree. Cupid
will shoot fatal dart one of these
days and then the little word yes
softly and sweetly said will be the
only effective remedy. This will be
a good time for people who wish to
economic to marry, for Ceres has
clothed her corn in thick covering,
which indicates a hard winter.
Winter cometh or apace, and, as
the prophet Moses said to the chill
dren of Dan after they had crossed
the Red river, ga wise woman seek
eth a husband, but the foolish one
waiteth for the men to pop the
question" The wise man seeketh
early for a helpmeet to darn his
socks, sew on his buttons and
scratch the square inch on his back
that he cannot reach. But the
foolish one waiteth till he is old
and then he can't, for the girls
snuffeth up their noses at him.
The squirrels and the red heads
are laying by their winter supply of
nuts. and the snakes have gone into
winter quarters, but the flea re
mains. You may beard the lion in
his den, capture the tiger in the
jungles of India, or lasso the wild
horse of Arabia, but if you catch
flea you will have achieved a feat
that is grander than any of them.
You put your finger on him and he
Isn't there. You may think you
have him safe between your finger
and mails but you are mistaken. He
is the only animal of the bill tribe
that can jump seven hundred times
its own length.
Several of our people attended
the fair last week among whom
were Misses Amanda Vaughan and
Fannie Parker whose genial pres
ence added to the happiness of a |
couple at least.
A large number of relatives and
friends attended the funeral of Mrs. |
D. H. Parsons at Campbellsville |
yesterday. Rev. Welborn Mooney
delivered a very impressive sermon. |
Mrs. Mary Cameron has returned
from Lynnville in a very feeble state |
of health, but was improving at last |
accounts. Mr.. Jerome Chapman is
having a severe spell of flux, but is
slightly mending. Hope to see him
up soon. Hon. John Deering of |
Frog Leap was smiling in our town
a few days ago. Wonder what he |
is after2 He had better look sharp, |
or some fellow will shoot him with |
rotten pumpkins. Fair warning,
John; go slow. Miss Maggie Bird |
song is giving this neighborhood |
the benefit of her genial presence !
Just now. Such rays of sunshine
dispel the gloom from the social
circle and renders society less mo-
notonoQs. RIr. Walter B. has also
been visiting here several times |
lately, but it stands to reason that
this vicinity presents attractions be-
sides that of relatives. Well, we
don't care, just so he brings her
pack to see us once IN a while.
+. II. Cheatham d Co. are on
land with new sorgo mill. A few
Mills, the superfuity of cane and
he distant tread of Jack Frost
lecessitated the purchase. Success
o the enterprise.
Mr.. Josh Alexander Of Lawrence
ounty is sweetening our neighbor-
Iood. Sorghum is plentiful and at {
he present price will not pay the
ost of production. KULLY.
