We have been highly entertained
by visits from Mrs. John Bateman
Smith and her sister, Miss Joan
McCord, who are summering at Mr..
Newton Eslick's, and from Miss
Matte McCord who, with her fa-
theirs family, has been enjoying the
hospitality of Rev. A. M. Ezell.
May their visits be frequent, length
ening into days, and may their in
duence abide with us always, is the
wish of the Brick Church people at
Cooks Springs.
In the Brick Church district mo.
I'D we have four candidates for
constable. Their efforts, added to
those of the aspirants for county
offices, make picnics among the
darkeys quite frequent. Mr.. j. NJ.

Cooks Springs.

The blistering suns, cloud like
fogs, and dews as juicy as rain,
have driven several families from
the Brick Church valley to Cooks
Springs. At this writing the fami-
lies of Mesdames Rutledge, Roth
ROCK, Hardy and jackson constitute
the resident visitors, while the
transient class are frequent and
numerous, presenting a new crowd
at the croquet grounds almost every
day.
Here in this wild retreat with its
rolling rocks, and steep hills, whose
sides are clothed with valuable tim
Der and worthless bushes, with
nothing to relieve the monotony
save the risky antics and shrewd
maneuvers of the widows in our
midst, we are tempted to believe
that IL is good to be here; but when
the dismal shades of night come on
and we gather around our cabins
like chickens in front of q hen
roost, we feel slight depression
that mineral water cannot dispel;
especially when the music that falls
upon our ears is the doleful notes
of the katydid, the tunereal tinkling
of cowbells and the solemn grunt of
a full grown hog. A sercnading
party would be hailed as godsend,
however indifferent the performers
might be, and if you know of any,

Little Eddie Tate, whose leg was
broken last week, is doing very
well. Your printer made the types

poets to change her name at the

such a calamity can possibly be
avoided
DIR. Fleming and his sister. Mrs.

was cordial, and that their visit
may be eft repeated.

for many years, patient, ploddihg

wouldn't cut very dashing figure

owners were much attached to him.

morning he was not visible to the

missing. 1t is believed that he
was stolen by some unconscious

al fine horses and a number of
mules on the place that were not

much distressed at the loss of "Old

The picnic at Beach Buff was
success in every respect. The at

forded ocular proof Of the liberali-
ty and hospitality, as well as of the
industry and prosperity of that
community. More than five hun
dred persons were fed bountifully
on choice barbecued meats, spring
chickens, cakes, pastry, condi-
ments, DC. The utmost good Or
der prevailed. and all who partici
pated in the affair seemed to enjoy
it heartily. We are sure good
results flow from these pleasant
neighborhood gatherings. They
have tendency to cement our diff

friendships, and bring them togeth-

just convalescing from a severe at

again on foot. DIR. r. P. Ransom,
of Nashville, was circulating among

he meant business again. DIR. III. G..

Florence, Ala, on business-will
return the latter part of this week.
Mrs. G. l. Sheriff. is visiting her

son of Bristol has lately made an inter
esting observation in regard to an applica-
tion of magnetism. He takes thin plate
of hardened steel and writes upon it with
magnetized iron style, thus ceinmuni-
eating tolerably permanent magnetism TO
the parts of the plate which are covered
by the writing If fine iron filings are
sprinkled upon the plate and the plate is
then held perpendicular, 50 as to remove
the loose filings, the writing becomes Wis.

Is THERE A CENTRAL Sun Professor
Proctor's last achievement as popular
lecturer on astronomy is to expose and
refutc the popular belief that the entire
stellar universe is rotating about a great
central sun. This notion originated half
century ago, as a theory, with the great
astronomer Nader, who based his opinion
on the observed drift of the stars Of the
constellation Taurus, in the direction of the
group known as the Pleades. Madler ad-
vanced the opinion that the star Alcyone
of the Pleiades was the central star of the
stellar universe, about which all the mem.
bers of the visible universe of stars were
circulating; and this notion, though it
never has been accepted by astronomers as
more than an ingenious hypothesis, was
one of those fascinating generalizations
which speedily take strong hold on the
popular imagination, and has even found
its way into the textbooks. Proctor points
out that the hypothesis has long since been
abandoned by astronomers, for the excel
lent reason that the only fact Oh which it
was based-the star-drift toward the PIE
iades-has been completely nullified by the
observation of similar drifts of other star
groups IN other directions.

THE NATURE OF LIGHT AND ITS ACIToS
UPON THE EYE.-At recent meeting of
the Buffalo Microscopical Club, Dr. Lucien
Howe presented the subject of the undula-
tions of light and their perceptions by the
eye. Brief mention was made of the diff
ierent theories, accounting for the phe-
nomena of optics previous to the present
century. The difficulties of this subject
were first solved by Thomas Young, who
satisfactorily explained the undulatory
theory of light. He showed that what we
call light is impression produced upon the
retina by the wave-hke motion of the
particles of matter. Subsequently the
lengths of these waves were measured. 1t
would take SO, 9lS waves of red light, or
or Ga ,63l waves of violet light, placed end
to end, to made an inch. From The speed
of light, which has been measured, it is
proved that at least four hundred and fifty
one millions of millions CT these minute
waves flow into the eye and dash against
the retina in each second. DR.. Howe pro-
ceeded with description of the micro
scopical anatomy of the ey., more particu-
lariy relating to the "iayer of rods and
cones These were stated as being in re-
atty the terminal flaments of the optic
nerve. These are shaken or acted on by
the waves of light, and it is especially these
with which we see.

RAILoAD construction in the United
States has received an immense impulse by
the revival of general business. Few ap-
preciate the magnitude Of the work that
has been and is dsing in that field. The
Bulletin states that since the first of Sep.
tember last and up to the 25th of March.
nearly 5000 miles of new road had been
constructed, and no less than L, GAL miles
of new road projected. The same rate of
progress, continued during the balance of
the present year, would bring the figures
of railway construction very nearly if not
quite mp TO those OF the phenomenal years.
1871 and 1872, Immediately preceding the
financial crisis which occurred in 1878. In
each OF these years about 1900 miles OF
railroad were built. The Buiteti, thinks
that, if the country should experience no
financial arrangement in the current year,
there can be no doubt that majority OF
the new undertakings above referred to Wiz
be carried well forward, thus adding great
ly to our transportation facilities and the
distribution of population, commerce. and
industry.
