A Terrible Storm.

a terrific tornado passed from
west TO east across Giles county
about seven miles below Pulaski
Tuesday night, blowing down an i'm
mense amount Of timber and fenc
ing. The house OF NJ. NJ. Thomas
near K. j. Brunson's, was blown
literally to pieces, hurting none oil
the family except Mr. Thomas,
who was hit on the head and
knocked down by rock from the
chimney. The houses of AL.
Thompson and Beasly Cobb were
also demolished, with the outhouses,
etc. Mrs. Thompson and her
daughter Mrs. ROchel were both
badly hurt but,noJ seriously, we be-
lieve. Giles Reynolds orchard
was uprooted and the trees blown
away. Some idea of the force of
the wind may be conjectured by
the freak it played with some elm
stills twenty feet long and a foot
square. which were lifted upon end
and showed two or three feet into
the ground and then taken about a
hundred yards away. The storm
crossed the pike below Lee Suttle's,
but we could not learn of any dam
ages done in any other neigbor
hoods.

A Handsome Income for an En-

just completed and are now introducing [,

| Scale, an article that has always been needed
in every household, and in a communication
| addressed to the publisher of'this paper thu
propuetors ask us to refer them TO some reli-
able party, to introduce it for them to the
people of this county. 1t is very seldom that
a new article steps 10 suddenly into univer-
sal favor. Housekeepers are loudin its praise
it is always ready, there are no weights 10

will not get out of order. Tho description OF
them is a handsome base surmounted by a
co).mn in which works a spiral spring 20
scientifically adjusted ks to weigh any
thiTg up to twelve pounds with perfect
accuracy, on the top of the column is the
platform on which the articles e. be weighed
are placed, and they have an adjustable midi
Gator so that you can take tho tare Of any
vessel you may use in Weighing, giving you
the exact net weight. Housekoepers at once
see their value in Weighing fruits, sugars

cooking, etc, or in testing tho weights of
purchases from others.
The scales are made Of all brass, are high
ly polished and are finished in skilIful
manner. They are very attractive and take
the eye OF everyone who secs them,
1t seems to US that nearly every family in

We print no communication, no
matter how meritoriOus it may be,
without the real name of the author
accompanies it. How many times
must we say thisi And there are
many received with the authors
names even which we decline. Some
because they are too lengthy, some
because they are illegible, some be
cause they are too personal, some
because they are not newsy, some
because they are repetitions in a
larger or smaller degree of some
other letter, some because they come
too late, &c, &c. We solicit con-
tributions of NEWS from all quar-
ters of the county, but reserve the
right to decline any and all without
answering "why." But if you want
to be sure to get your letter pub
lished, be in time, write plainly,
write on one side, be brief, be con
else, write news, write nothing of
fcnsive, enter at once into your sub
ject, let the first line be an item of
news, make no preliminaries, intro
ductions or apologies, and when
you have told what you know, quit
and sign both your real and ficti-
JIOus names.

nificant and ignoble calling-teach-
ing how to bow and scrape and
shake your legs like an idiot. Chill
dren are lmpressible and he may
instil heresies and sinfulness in
to their minds that car never be
eradicated. He objected to the
party dress which has bred so much
disease and death in the ranks of
fashions votaries. His main obiec-
ton was to the waltz. You say it is
heaven Yes, but a Mohammedan
heaven. Its inspiration and beauty
and pleasure all lie in its lascivious-
ness. Go read the book entitled
''The Dance of Death" and then
read Byron's Waltz and when
you have perused the indicate
pages written by a reformed devo
tee and witnessed by refined wo
men, and then read the lecherous
verses penned by an intriguing lib
ertine, if you are chaste you'll new
er indulge in waltzing again. The
speaker never danced but once, and
that was at the wedding of his
sweetheart to another fellow, done
to show that it didn't hurt him
Waiting had rooted out what you
called square dancing-the Boston
dip, the wave, etc. being only fash
ionable, -aud now it is not respect
able among the elite to dance she
old fashioned cotillion. 1t belongs
to puncheon floors, where barefoot
ed lasses swing in the mazes with
One-gallows swains, and to corn
Stockings. SO that, We fashion
lovers, il you will dance, know that
the square dance-is squarely IN
fashionable. Suppose we tolerate
It and the church overlooks it as
very slight depression from the
right, as soon as il is licensed all
the prurient figures OF the waltz
will be incorporated in it at once,
as some Of the figures are already |
pure Waiting. He denounced the |
whole dance IN every form as indie
cent, evil and dangerous.
The relation of the church to |
is dubious. All other
sects, he did them proud honor to
say, were more pronounced than |
the Methodist. But what church is
living up to its pronunciations?
Few men have courage to attack it.
1t shows deterioration of morals.
The church should remove its re-
or enforce them through
her officials; and her ministers
ought to come out and teach severe
ly against such practices. God
would take care of the church, even
if the minister's reputation did suf
fer. The best cure for the dance is
the water of life that Jesus recon-
mended to the Samaritan woman,
and if a devotee could be induced to
drink from this matchless fountain
he would forever have no thirst for
the cess-pools of earth. Why
should a christian apologize for
that which is doubtful and has been
condemned even by its advocates.
The dancing road to Heaven is
doubtful and I'll not travel it.
Every man should be taught to
know that when he enters the
church he must leave the world out
side, practice virtue and abhor even
he appearance of evil.

Columbia Herald: We want to
know if Capt. Bob Mitchell did fall
on that ice, and did cut hole in it
with his toes, and did use all the
'elegant-no, eloquent--language
attributed to him by Laps. McCord.
Laps says he is as active as a salt
barrel. Now, this is a high compli-
ment, for a salt barrel is very ac-
tive-on the side of hill. But we
are inclined to think Laps.was iron
ical or sarcastical. One thing we
do know-Capt. Bob is one of the
braiDiest men in this Congressional
District. and a better leader of men
is not in the State.

The Time to Advertise.

Says the Banner: Dull times, il
is said, are the best for advertisers.
Because, when money is tight, and
people have to economic, they al
ways read the advertisements to see
who sells the cheapest, and whore
they can trade to the best advan
tage, and a well advertised business
house seldom goes into bankruptcy
or makes an assignment to its cred
itors. Advertisement indicates en-
ergy and intelligence, qualities in a
business man that the public take
kindly to and appreciate in a sub
stantial way. A large advertise
ment is a sure sign that the bust
ness thus brought to the notice of
the public is in a prosperous condi
ton.

Advertising.

In a little book published many
years ago, entitled How to get
money" we find the following re
marks on advertising:
"Whatever your occupation or
calling may be, if it need support
from the public, advertise it thor
oughly and efficiently in some
shape or other that will arrest the
public attention. There may pos
sibly be occupations that do not re-
quire advertising, but cannot well
conceive what they are. Men in
business will sometimes tell You
they have tried advertising, and
that it did not pay. This is only
when advertising is done sparingly
and grudgingly. Homeopathic doses
Of advertising will not pay perhaps
it is like half a portion of physic
making the patient sick, but effect
ing nothing. Administer literally,
and the cure will be permanent.
Some say they cannot afford to al
vertise. They mistake: they can
not afford not to advertise"

He missed many familiar faces, saw
the sad remnants of many broken
families-some of them almost en-.
tirely obliterated-found business
mostly in new hands, new faces in
the place of familiar ones, strangers
occupying the places OF old friends,
and saddest of all saw so many

age. Still there are many eviden-

The New York Tribune thinks
that national convention of Presi-
dental candidates would be an edi-
flying spectacle, if sufficiently
large hall could be found TO hold il
in. But such a hall could not be
found. II all the men in the coun.
try who want TO be President, and
think it likely that they will be,
were assembled in no matter how
densely packed a convention. the
chairman would have TO speak with
the roar of a Niagara or the thun-
der OF a six hundred FOUNDER, or
there would be thousands of
Blaines, Davices, Bristows, Grants,
Shermans and Dalzells toward the
outskirts of the crowd who could
not hear whether he was denounc-
ing the Administration waving the
bloody shirt or putting a motion to
adjourn fifteen minutes for drinks.
Strange there should be so many
men openly seeking the Presiden
tial office, when,as everybody knows
the man who seeks it most is least
worthy of it Courier-Journal.
