A bill is before the Legislature,
and we hope will become law,
making all the magistrates members
of the Quarterly Court. The exist
ing practice Of alternating is incon-
venient and leads to complications
and trouble. For instance: The
January term may have a very i'm
portant measure before it which it
discusses and thoroughly under
stands but does not complete. The
April term brings another set of
Justices, and they have to begin at
the root of the matter, thus wasting
time, and may possibly overlook or
undo something that the previous
term had arranged or consImmated.
AT a term of our own court once a
petition or motion was made to
| change a road and road hands. The
Justice attending from the district
in which the road was located lived
in the other end of the district and
consequently did not know the
merits of the case. The change was
made. The next term the other
Justice from that district was in
Court. He lived near the road, and
at his instigation the former action
of the court was undone. Again at
the next term the other justice came
back and had the change made
again. If they had both been there
at first it would have saved all this
complication. The expense of max
ing all the magistrates members
would be inconsiderable as com
pared with the benefits that will
| accrue

don't advertise" And though Bailey
does say it, this is no joke.
An advertisement is a window
through which all the world may look
into your shop and see just what you
wish to see-nO more, no less.
People are quite apt to 60 where their

The cold wave has about "friz''

seems that we are to have a warmer
spell now. Old people say that they
never knew a colder spell. When
it thaws up, the mud holes of Long

Will have a new bottom! Owing to
the severity of the weather, several
of our neighbors have not changed
locations yet, and the landlords are
not proposing to force them into

Mr.. Guy Sumpter bought beau
tIful owl last Saturday from coun-
tryman and thought he would have
a nice pet lie sat ali day Saturday
without winking and behaved INN
self splerdidly. bat that night he
Toasted on a sweet little canary bird.
When Guy found it out next morn
ing he caught the owl and tied a
striag around its neck and hung it
until it WAS dead, dead, dead, and
then threw the carcass into the
stove and cremated It. Col. Ras-
berry Gof, late candidate. assisted
in the execution, but under com
pulsion, and he afterwards gave
vent 20 the teuder feelings that filled
his heart in the following poem
which he intended for an epitaph:
Here lie the ashes Ct an owl,
victim of revenge most foul,
Whose only fault it was to vary
His morning meal with canary.
When called to answer for his sin,
Why he had took the songster in,
He blandly gazed in empty stare
And said: 80 whO-al whoa, where!'
There, villain, see the feathers liel"
His mad tormentor shrill did cry;
"What prompted thee this deed to doln
The owl said; Whoa, whoa youln
''Ill teach thee impotence, vile wretch
Fer this alone thy neck shall stretch;
I'll burn, calcIne, melt, roast and then
The owl said: whoa, whoa, whenr
Now! Now!" and he was hanged and
burned
And if he wasn't, I'll be burned!
When shall we see his Ii Ike again!'
Echo says: whoa whoa, when.'

The Changes at Martin College.

Rev. Il. II. Rivers, ID. d., left on
Friday last for his new home at
Auburn, Ala, where he has been
assigned by the ). Ala. Conference
TO the charge of a church. We
give him up regretfully. He Is one
of the purest and best of men, one
of the most earnest and eloquent
of preachers, one of the ablest and
most entertaining of writer's, one of
the most scholarly and successful
of teachers. Mrs. Rivers has been
quite i'll since his departure, but
will follow him in the next week or
two if her health improves sutli-
GENTLY. Mrs. Menefee, who by her
patience and forbearance, and by
her arduous labors and quiet dig
nifty as Hall teacher at the College
has won so many hearts and made
so many life long admirers here,
will go with her aged and loving pa
rents To their new home. May
their future be happy and bright as
the past has been useful and honor
able. Prof. Casey, too, we regret
exceedingly to surrender. Having
resigned his professorship, he re-
turns to South Alabama, where he
is SO well known and so highly APP
preciated. He will be greatly missed
by the church, the Sunday School
and the community at large. His
accomplished wife and lovely daugh
tiers will leave many admirers and
sever many attachments here. We
certainly wish them prosperity com
men surate with their deserts.
Mrs. Adams, we are glad to an
nOunce, will remain in the school.
This is good news to parents. She
has no superior, and has been s
teacher of lifelong experience in
Pulaski. Patrons will be glad to
know also that Miss Alternately
ana Miss Barker will be retained in
their respective departments, in
which they are thoroughly icompe
tent. And then Miss Bette Bur
CESS, late of Cornersville, comes to
the college with experience, and
education, and reputation and tact
a music teacher will be announced
when definite arrangements have
been made. Over all, Prof. Jones
and his popular and elegant wife
viii preside, while Miss Lula's vi
vacity and genius will be felt.

After a long silence 1 propose to

school has not been opened yet.
Do not know who is to teach.
There are several applicants but no
one selected. Our young folks
have enjoyed themselves most of
the Christmas practicing vocal mu-
sic. Our young friend Mr.. G.. Nc.
Barnes, perhaps the best vocalist in
the county, after teaching several
classes very successfully In this
vicinity, has gone this week to
teach class at Elkton. We be-
speak for him a hearty support by
the good people of Elkton. The
gifted, the erudite, the injmitable

representatives of the noblest race

There lives in this immediate vicin

the infant years of the Republic,
when George Washington was in
the prime Of manhood. Your cor
respondent visited her recently aud
found her sitting up in fine health,
cheerful and happy. Her mind Is
in very healthy condition. She
remembers everything that has
transpired for the last IS years
very distinctly. She has been liv-

many years to come. Three more
years makes her one hundred, and
from every indication now she viii
live much longer. More anon.

Maj. Eu. F. Ewing.

A vacuum hard to fill will be
made in this community when Maj
Hu. F. Ewing sewers his connection
with it, as he cOntemplates doing
soon. Already he has resigned his
cashiership in the Giles National
Bank, a position he has filed with
so much credit to himself and with
eminent satisfaction to his directors
and stockholders. Added to finan
cial tact and business foresight, he
brought to the discharge of his du-
ties, as officer and citizen, q polish
of intellect, a cultivation of manner,
and suavIty of disposition which
won friends everywhere and stamped
his impress indellib!y upon the
commercial as well as the social
circles of the town. His late
stockholders and directors have
paid him a well merited compli-
ment in the proceedings below.
GILES NATIONAL BANK,
PULASKI, Tenn, Jan. IA, 1875
HU. F. EWING, Esq,
Dear Sir At a regular annual meet
ing of the stockholders of the Giles Ma
tional Pank of Pulaski, held at their
Banking House in Pulaski this day, by
a unanimous vote of the Stockholders
present it was
RESOLVED, That Solen E. Rose, Jas. \.
Sumpter ami JnO. Wilkes, as a com
mittee, report to the Board of Directors
of the Bank the high appreciation of
the Stockholders of the Bank for their
retiring Cashier, HUI. +. Ewing, and
that the Board ofDirectors be requested
to notify Mr.. Ewing by letter, to be
signed by the several members of the
Board, Uestitying their esteem for him as
a gentleman and citizen, and their APP
probation of the courteous and able
manner in which he has discharged
the duties of Cashier during the many
years of his connection with the Bank,
and expressing their warm wishes for
his future happiness and prosperity.
In pursuance of this pleasing duty we
hereby express our regrets that your
interests demand that your connection
with the Bank as Cashier should be sew
cred at your request. During your
term of office as Cashier,we have always
found you the careful, courteous, prompt
and able business man and financieI
that the best interest of the Bank de-
manded, and it should be a source OF
pride TO you that while in your cOnnec-
ton with the Bank for several years not
a dollar has been lost to the Bank. AT
the same time you have been obliging,
liberal and courteous in your bust
ness transactions. While we regret to
sever our associations as Directors with
you as Cashier, we hope that it may
prove to your interest, and rest assured
that you will carry with you wherever
you may 20 our warmest wishes for your
social and business prosperity which we
know and testify that you so richly de-
serve. 5. +. ROSE, Pres.

Prof w. X. Jones arrived in Pu
laski last week to perfect all prelim-
inaries to take charge of Martin
College at the opening of the Spring
term next week. We but echo the
universal opinion of all people who
know Prof. Jones, his moral worth
as a citizen and his eminent ability
to perform the Office to which he
has been called by the voice of the
Trustees, when we say that his ad-
vent into our midst is an acquisi-
tion hardly to be overestimated. A
man gifted with an eneTA y rarely
cqualed, a business tact equal to
any matter in hand, a thorough ed
ucation and the rarest gift of i'm
partation, executive capacity that
always masters and overcomes OBJ
stacles, a thorough and life long
training in the matter of teaching,
all crowned with a moral excellence
that not only shapes his own life
correctly, but has its influence upon
those with whom he moves-he
brings to Martin College combined
capacities and influences that will
surely tell in sustaining its charac
ter as one of the best of its kind in
the South. This is not fu!some
talk, for we feel that all recognize
his many eminent traits, and in the
position to which he has been called
1t is necessary to thus let strangers
know what manner of man it is to
whom they are asked to entrust
their daughters. He will take
charge next week, and a. once bring
his tact and energy TO bear in fur
Their building up the interests Of
Martin College, so admirably main
tanned by his predecessors. His
family are now in Maury and will
follow next week, with the excep-
tion of his son Tommie, who IS yet
in business at Dallas, Texas.

some additional offers. The old
rates were simply $I.6O for a club

sometimes a club so large cannot be
raised. We have therefore pro-
posed 60 take a club of six for $40.
