 The Milan {Tenn.) Exchange con tsins the following notice of Rev. J. F Weaver, who, it will Dc remembered preached an excellent sermon here during the recent sitting of the Baptis state convention:
 "Rev. J. F. Weaver. who has been pastor of the Baptist church here dur, ing the last seven years, preached his farewell sermon last Sunday night to large aud fence. During the dis course he took occasion to give his con gregation and the community at large some good advice on several subjects, which they will do well to consider. Mir. Weaver has made an excellent pas tor, and his heroic and self~sacrificing course during the yellow fever epidemic made him hosts of friends outside of his own church. He Is kind ,hearted and whole-souled Christian gentleman, and we sincerely wish him well whar> ever he may cast his lot.

 With commcndxble zeal the ladies os good old Dover, and in which they are never sxcsllsd on any occasion, have undertaken to prepare church festival to relieve themselves Of the very unpleasant dilema of having the key to the lock of the M.

It is hoped that the good people of the surrounding country, and especially of her sister towns, Atkins and Russell vile, who enjoy church privileges without restraint, will aid the ladies iu this laudable enterprise and purchase tickets to the supper to come of at Dover this (Thursday) evening, Nov. 25th inst, and receive and partake of in return most magnificent repast anl the thanks of the ladies therein engaged.

 Some of the snow which fell last Wednesday is still on the ground, and as we go to press the indications are fa> vorable for another visitation of the same kind. This weather is working hardship to many of our farmer friends whose crops are yet ungather> ed. Cotton will be greatly injured in the fields.
 We were pleased to see our old friend Judge Gibson Morrison, of Clark township, in town on Saturday. The judge is one of the old-timers and well known to the travelling public in the early days of steamboating.

 What volume Of meaning is con tained in these three endearing, holy and sacred terms. Life is but a feeting show, to mans illusion glven," and would be valueless if shorn of the joys, pleasures and com forts which emanates from the pos session and influences of wife, moth CT, friend. How beautiful, calm, se- rene and bright the sunshine which with it's refulgence and love around the homo of those who are blessed with fond and devoted wife, whose presence and influence is so essen tial and important in importing life. love and beauty to all that surround her. The idol of her husbands heart. who, after the toll, trials and struggles of each eventful day in life's career Tn providing for coming events returns to his donicile to meet the welcome, pleasant greeting of dear, devoted wife. Of the pa tient, watchful and never-ceasIng care of a mother who labors night and day in sickness or in health in constant vigil over the dear ones of her heart without complaint; of that dear tried and trusty one who would peril life to support, sustain and protect her own dear offspring, les sen their sorrows and alleviate their pains, no matter how great the sac riflce to her own comfort, happiness or health. Accursed be those who would forget the ties and obligations they owe to her whose very life is centere6 and too often exposed in poverty, destitutien, grief, sorrow and bitter tears, endeavoring to edu- cate and shield them from danger and harm. The vocabulary of words in the English language would be insufficient to convey the detestatlon in which such ingratitude should be held. The unwavering fidelity of q valued and esteemed friend is to be deeply appreciated, when it springs from the spontaneous gushing of noble heart rid of all the selfish and mercenary motives which prompted the poet when he wrote in mockery of the sacred tie,
 sOh what is friendship but a name,
 A charm that lulis to sleep;
 thing that follows wealth and fame
 And leaves the wretch to weep"
 Yes, give us the warm hearted, re sponsiva breast in our adversities, who would lend assistance in the dark and trying hour of misfortune, whose purse strings are ever ready aad open to relieve, befriend and and life can be tolerated and made joyous even amid desola- tion. But take from us wife, moth CT, friend and make vacant their chairs around the fireside and table where they were wont to preside; where happiness, pleasure. joy and comfort was dispensed and lovingly and lavishly bestowed in our family circle and our existence becomes a burden, full of anguish, sorrow and afiiiction undesirable to all intents and purposes with the full convic- ton that Man was made to mourn" and more than willing, yea, anxious, to make our exit and take our de psrture and join them in ''better land"

THE FADING FLOWER

I wondered where the sweetness of summer
made completeness,
And all the woods were blushing with the f,erv
glow of flowers,
When softest winds were blowing, and songful
streams were flowing,
And sped alas! the swiftly the honey.laden
hours. 's,.e4
found amid the splendor little bud so ten
der l59
trembled with thrill Of JOY meier had
known before;
Like one in a sad story who turns page of
glory,
Or ship-wrecked sailor nearing smooth
palm planted shore.
With pride beyond all telling bore it to my
dwelling,
And placed it where it shown like stars in
nights engulfng gloom
And there through years of gladAess, or weari-
ness and sadness,
1t filled with Heavens own lustre the lonely
little room.
Now, though its leaves grow crisper, and cru
Ell voices whisper
The flower has lost its beauty and groweth
dim AND old,
TO me it's beams as brightly as when first it
quivered lightly
In the mornings dewy freshness, when the
distant hills were gold.

Why He Groaned.

In this country, no matter where, re-
side two lawyers, no matter whom. SUI
fee to say these lawyers are young,
genial, and deep in legal lore, and as
such are occasionally sought after in
criminal cases OF small import. A yery
short time ago, no matter when, pro-
fessional duties called them before q
certain Justice of the Peace in the
county. One was to prosecute and the
other defend. The case was conducted
with skill and ability, and the court, un-
accustomed to such, beamed with deep
admiration upon the young lawyers
and was happy. The time arrived for
the prosecuting attorney to deliver his
speech, and he waxed eloquent on the
subject OF carrying concealed weapons,
and made moving appeals in The name
OF the law that visibly affected the
court. who wept muchly and mentally
vowed vengeance against the culprit.
Ali at once, however, and from some
unaccountable cause, his eloquence
suddenly ceased. His left leg seemed
to be troubling him beyond measure,
and he afectionately grasped it with
both hands and groaned dismally as he
cast an appealing look toward the door,
as if he desired above all earthly things
to be on the outside. All at once the
mystery was cleared up. An innocent
revolver serenely glided out of the
pants leg on the floor. The young at
torney was ircontinently foored, and
the court, who had been revolving in
his mind the propriety of sending for
all the doctors in the ne1ghborhood.
was astonished wiped his eyes and
ahemed ominously. The young attorney
was unable to offer any excuse, and the
court promptly fined him $25 and cost,
and hereafter he will be more careful.
