Bohemian,

Mr.. EDITOR 1t seems that your
worthy correspondent of this place
Sankerthumbnorten) must have
retired into winter quarters and
left us without representation, and
we think it but just our little town
should receive at least passing no
tice among the varied scenes of
life. We have delightful country,
the lofty hills intermingling and
enveloping as it were, the fertile
valleys, through which course innu-
merable streams which go to swell
the oceans tide. Our people are
prosperous and contented, fact
which l think contributes largely
to the success of any neighborhood.
People are now getting out cotton
with a vim with view to the early
market, and are very much encour-
aged with the prospect Of a good
yield.
Our village has been enlivened by
the presence of several visitors late
ly, Mrs. lack Parker and her two
little girls from Tuscumbia, Ala,
have been spending the summer
among relatives in this vicinity,
and returned last week, and accom-
panied by Miss Ella Parker, who
goes to attend the Tuscumbia In
stitute next session. Mrs. Thos.
Flautt of New Orleans, with her lit
tie boy Guy, are now visiting in this
place. Miss Rebecca Flautt,
handsome and accomplished young
lady of Sardis, Miss, is contribu-
ting her charms to Bohemian, and
by her vivacity and gaiety has
caused a complete revolution
among the boys, and one young
man is in diSpair about his heart,
which he says, he has lost control of.
Well, Josh, sympathize with you
because of experience" and hope
you will be comforted with the
thought that it's a long lane that
has no turn.
The matrim onial season has been
inaugurated by the marriage of Mr..
Nit. Digger to Miss Ada Tarpley.
Last Thursday evening at the APP
pointed hour a large crowd of
young people had gathered at the
residence of the brides father and
the feast that was served bespoke
loud praises TO the credit of the
good hostess. There are gentle ru-
mors of another marriage to take
place soon, but am not now at lib
erty to gossip further.
Mr.. Lewis Yancey accompanied
by his granddaughter, Miss Dodds
of Savannah, is now visiting his
son, r. P. Yancey. Rev's D. S.
Bodenhamer and j. M. Paisley are
absent attending Presbytery which

and some w5o have heard the cele-
brated Moody express a belief that
he is equal to him. There is a
simple earnestness about the man,
a conservation of his whole soul to
his work and a plain manner of
speaking that lrresistibly carries
conviction with everything he says
and how the most confirmed infidel
or atheist can listen and not become
convinced of the fallacy of his
ideas, is more than the ordinary hu-
man minds capable of comprehend
ing. Every christian in this place
must feel truly glad that the Y. NJ.
G. A. held their State convention
here. Good seed have been sown
which will doubtless take root and
rebound to the glory of the Master.
There is one question which your
correspondent has heretofore not
touched upon: That of our poll
tics here. The two great parties
are so equally divided in this
county that the result of any cleo
ton is very uncertain. 1t all de
ponds upon the personal popularity
of the respective candidates as to
who will be successful. With our
county officers this is strikingly
illustrated. Our County Court
Clerk is a republican, was in the
Federal army and has held his posi-
ton for two terms previous to the
present term. The Circuit Court
Clerk. on the other hand,is Demo
crat, and served through the war
with distinction in the Confederate
army. The County Trustee is a
republican and served in the Fed
eral army. The Sheriff is a repub
lican and so, all the way through,
personal popularity overrides party
lines. Our present Mayor is dem
ocrat while most of his predecessors
in Office were republicans. He is
also quite young man which may
partly account for his popularity,
as Chattanooga favors the young
men. By the way, Mr.. Hill spent
several years of his boyhood days
in old Giles, and no doubt many of
the yodng meu of that county rec
ollect him as their schoolmate in
aud lang syne.
One of Pulaski's fairest young
ladies has turned the hearts of sew
eral of our young men who had the
good fortune to meet her at White
Cliff Springs during the summer
One of the number very mysteri-
ously disappeared a short time ago
and no one could guess the cause of
that disappearance until an extract
from the CITIZEN was copied in the
Times, our daily paper, which in
formed us Of his whereabouts, when
everything was made perfectly clear
to the minds of all and the fears of
his friends relieved. But we cannot
him for causing his friends
this uneasines for eve know how it
is ourselves" Mr.. G. S. Clark,
formerly in charge of the Bethany
High School in your county, has
been recently elected Principal of
one of our Grammar Schools and
assumes his duties to-day. His
many friends in Giles will doubtless
be glad to hear of his preferment.

We learn with great regret that
the dwelling house and all its con-
tents of Mr.. j. d. Shook on Egg
news creek was totally consumed
by fire on Saturday, goth inst. Mrs.
Shook was at the spring washing
and Mr.. Shook was at Mr.. Tom
Braley's setting a sorghum mill
when the accident occurred, so that
nothing was saved, not even the
wearing apparel, except the few arti-
cles Mrs. S. had at the spring. 1t
is supposed that the fire originated
from a broom which one of the chill.
dren swept the hearth with and set
back in the corner just before she
went to the spring. We deeply
sympathize with him and hope his
friends will assist him to recover his
losses.

Farmers appear to be very busy
this fine weather. A fine chance oil
fodder has been saved, so far as oul
observation has extended. We have
seen two or three persons stripping
late corn this week. Hence as the
lengthy fine season has been favor.
abe on farmers we judge that the
hight corn crop will be supplement-
ed by an abundance of roughness.
Those who raised cotton are
busy gathering it. The best corn
in these parts is the latest planting,
So we see that the cut worms that
annoyed the people so much last
spring, cutting down early corn,
causing many fields to be plowed
up and replanted, proved to be q
blessing in disguise. Some people
would have been much benefited il
they had plowed up and replanted
all their corn crop.
The nearest Methodist church to
this place-Friendship-has been
blessed with a gracious revival
meeting, lasting about ten days.
About thirty were added to the
church. The membership here is
about four-fold greater numerically
than it was just after the war. The
pastor, Rev. j. A. McFerrin-a
good and true man-has gone to
visit relatives at Nashville, Gallatin,
DC, thence to Conference. Our
Presbyterian brethren at Brick
Church-alias, Richland-had a re.
vival meeting recently, resulting in
several accessions to their commun
ior. One of the elders, DR.. Roth
rock, we are sorry to learn, is max
ing arrangements to remove to
Nashville. Being a hightone gen
tleman and excellent physician, his
removal will create a vacuum that
will be hard to fill. Several poor
preachers, that we wot of, will re-
luctantly give him up. We hope
he will find the hundreds and thou
sands of friends and the success in
financial business that he so richly
deserves. Heavens richest bene-
dictions rest upon you, Doctor.
We met to-day, Monday, at the
Methodist { Haggard's) meeting at
Brick Church Academy the genial
and sunny face of the venerable
Maj. Gordon. He is the same in
fuentisl man of faith and prayer
that he was when / was a child.
Who will fill his place at Brick
Church after he goes to Heaven2
Who2 Arouse, We young men some
of you must. Who will ever esti-
mate this side of eternity the moral
and social worth of such a christian
patriarch in a community. Many
will rise up in that day and call him
blessed.
Death has again visited our midst
ana took for his victim this time a
little child of Mrs. Davidson, daugh
ter of the late Curry McGrew. She
is bereft indeed, having lost hus-
band, mother, father, child, within
a year or two. "The living know
that they must die" But a visitor,
from a country. where this sad truth
is not kno En, coming to onrs would
certainly be astonished if we were
to inform him that we knew such a
thing, and then look at our hold
upon the world and the little stock
we were taking in the heavenly
country.

DIR. Mark L. Clark, a promising
young physician of Giles county,
was up on visit and spent several
days with his friend, George ID.
Bond, OF this vicinity. They were
together at the last session of the
Nashville and Vanderbilt Medical
College. The Doctor was accompa-
MED on his visit by his friend Mr..
Will II. Buford, a worthy descend
ant of two of the best families in
Giles or any other county-the
Reeds and Bufords. We extend a
cordial welcome to these noble sons
of Giles. Indeed, since our perso-
nal acquaintance with the spicy and
facetious editor of the CITIZEN and
our knowledge of his people through
his letters and editorials, and the
fine representation, intellectually
and socially, which Giles sent up
this season to Cayce's Springs, we
have fallen IN love with her people,
and will always be ready TO offer
them our best right hand Spring

The Huntley Combination.

We take pleasure in announcing
that .Pulaski's favorites, the talent
ed, popular and genial young actor
Mr.. j. H. Huntley, and the beauti.
full, vivacious and versatile Miss
Florence Kennedy, will give enter
tainments here on Friday and Sat
urday evenings next with matinee
on Saturday afternoon. Mr.. Hunt
ley is supported by a frst-class
company of his own selection and
will come nearer giving his patrons
the full worth of their money than
any combination on the road. His
excellent silver band is a decided
feature of his enter tainment, as it is
said to be capable of furnishing
music equal to the best city orches-
ira. The following from the Amer
lean is but single sample of what
our exchanges all say:
Mr.. Huntley and Miss Florence
Kennedy have large constituency
in Nashville, always. pleased to well
come them when they call this way.
Last night they received their usual
greeting by a fair house, equally
distributed in the gallery, family
circle and down stairs. 1t was as
well pleased as audiences ever are,
the laughter being interrupted only
by touch of the pathetic now and
then. ''Perir' is light, society COM
edy, with just enough villainy in it to
make the plot interesting, and end
ing of course in the happy triumph
of all except the villain himself.
Mr.. Huntley is the same smooth
actor as he is so well known here.
A feature OF Miss Kennedy's per
Torrance was her elegant toilets, a
change in each act. Mr.. Burton,
the comedian of the troupe, as q.
Washington Barley, raised frequent
roars with his Hip, never"

The Jewish Day of Atonement.

Our Jewish fellow citizens all OBJ
served Saturday last as a day oil
atonemen5, it being the first day OF
the second week of the new year
In speaking OF the Jewish new year,
the Jackson Tribune and Sun says
According 10 the Hebrew calen
dar Thursday was the beginning OF
the year 564O. They do not reckon
them in accordance with the Gregg
rian calendar, but according to
their computation theirs is a lunar
year, the length of the month being
computed by the moon, the time
occupied by each revolution of the
moon being reckoned as one
month, consequently their year is
shorter than our ordinary year.
The first month of the Jewish year
is termed Tishri, and the last EliuZ.
The first day of the second week OF
the year is the day of atonement.
The Jews are a peculiar people.
They hold to the old belief that
God on this day takes a census of
every Israelite on the face of the
globe, and that he is still exercising
a personal supervision over them.
They still believe that they are
Gods peculiar people, and that al
though the Jewish race are scattered
over the face of the whole earth,
and are now strangers IN a strange
land, yet they are still looking for
ward to the time when God will
gather them together and lead
them back to the land from
whence they were originally ban
ished. They do not believe in
the Christ that has come, but
are still looking for one to come,
and in every cloud that floats in
the skies, they fondly hope that
their long waiting expectation of a
Christ will be realized.

For the qualification of those who
feel an interest in such statistics,
the County Superintendent furnish
es us a full summary of the Reports
of scholastic population made the
present year, viz: between the ages
of 6 and 81: white male, 1889;
white female, 1906; $50 excess of
white males over white females.
So you see there is a chance for all
the girls to marry. Colored males,
2,527; celored females 1866; 261 ex-
cess of males over females; and the
colored girls can marry too if they
will.

A LII Colors of trimming Satins at
"a the NEW YORK STORE.

The list of premiums to be award
ed at our fair next week occupies a
conspicuous position in the CITIZEN
this week. This is because the de
mand for catalogues was much
greater than the supply. They were
sought after more eagerly this year
than ever before. We trust it is an
augury of the interest to he mani
tested in the exhibition from every
section of the county. The compe-
tition in every department promises
to be lively, and large crowds are
expected daily.

"I am too late for this months draw

is becoming very general among those
who loiter and wait until the day imme-
diately preceding the monthly drawing
of the Louisiana State Lottery Compa-
ny, which occurs invariably at New Or
leans, on the second Tuesday of every
month. The fact is that the integrity
with which every action of this institu-
ton is characterized has so strength
ened its reputation that its tickets are
sold every month some days before the
drawing, and therefore any one desir-
