Official notice has been given of
Mr.. E. Il. Stahlman's appointment

to congratulate him on this desery-
ed promotion. Mr.. Stahlman is in
every sense of the term ga self-made
man" We recollect perfectly his
first appearance in Nashville fifteen
years ago. He was then poor
young man, so far as friends and
money went. but rich in the re-
sources which robust health, natur
al aptitude for business and a de
termination to succeed, never fail
to supply. These we're as good as
a name bestowed, or a fortune in
herited, since they have enabled
him to climb from the foot of the
ladder to the higher rungs, where
even now he is merely catching his
breath preparatory to essaying
loftier ascent. He married into
one of the oldest families in Nash
vile and is quite popular in that
city.

The passengers on the south
bound express train last Friday
night witnessed very singular phe-
nomenon, near the state line. At
II o'clock, precisely, the train sud
denly encountered a furious storm
of wind and rain, which was so vio-
lent that the engineer deemed 1t
prudent to stop until the force of
the tempest was expended. While
the train remained stationary ON
the track and torrents of rain
gushed from the black clouds over
head, the passengers beheld in the
west, far beyond the borders of the
storm, beautiful blue sky, span
gled with stars and bright with the
radiance of the moon. At the
same time, far away in the west,
was a magnificent rainbow spanning
a sea of liquid azure and imprinting
its gorgeous oolors on the sky. The
phenomenon was as beautiful as 1t
was singular and remarkable.

Harry Davis, a three year old
child of Mr.. Charles Davis, a tin
ner o: this place, climbed on a
shelf the other day and got hold of
a bottle of croton oil, the contents
of which he attempted to swallow.
The dangerous drug burned his
mouth so badly that he spat it out
before any had gone down his
throat; but notwithstanding this
fact he was made very sick and
for awhile was in a critical condi-
ton. Prompt medical treatment
gave him relief and he is now do
ing we'll. When it is remembered
that one drop of croton oil is the
maximum dOse for a full grown
man the little fellows danger may
be readily conceived. This should
prove a warning to parents who
are in the habit of leaving medi-
cines in places where their chill
dren can get at them.

Rannhlican Mass Nesting.

We are requested to announce

The protracted meetings at the
Methodist church have resulted 10
much good, attained by conscien-
tious and untiring effort on the
part of those engaged in the holy
undertaking. The pastor, Dir.
Leftwich, is clearing every APP
proach TO the church by the quick
strokes of his intellect and the
thorough character of his work.
He is devoted heart and soul to the
salvation OF sinners, and the Master,
seeing that his life is consecrated to
His service, has endowed him with
extraordinary reasoning powers
which sweep away in an instant the
feeble barriers which skepticism
erects in the path of progressive
christianity. His sermons are mas
terpieces of pulpit logic, blazing
with Scriptural truths and burn
ing with the love of God. We
have listened to many preachers of
his church, some of them famous
for eloquence, scholarship and ele
gance of style; but he surpasses
them all in unvarnished candor,
in conscientious exhOrtation,in we'll
moderated zeal, and in real majesty
of thought. He is in many respects
an extraordinary man, and we do
not believe that he is overtopped in
intellectual stature by any person
be he prelate or ecclesiastic-with-
in the bounds of Southern Method
ism. Sinner as we are, and the
subject of no ministry whatever,
we gladly pay this tribute to po-
tent instrument of God whose char
acter we heartily admire.

Concert at a Colored School.

The young ladies of the Colored
Female School gave grand concert
on Friday evening last of the old
plantation songs sung by our PEG
pie in ante-bellum days. Every
song was applauded to the echo and
encored to such an extent that every
piece had to be repeated. The
songs, "l'm Troubled in Mind"
"StGal Away to Jesus" ave Been
in the Storm SO Long," Swing Low
Sweet Chariot" "Keep InchIng
Along" and "Turn Back Pharaoh's
Army" were sung with great i'm
pressiveness. The concert was a
success in every particular. There
was large and appreciative audi
ence present, who were well pleased
with the rich entertainment. The
proceeds enabled US to liquidate
the debt for coal, chalk, Ink, DC,
during the past three months.
Thanking. the parents and friends
for their patronage, we are your
humble servants. r. T. BOYD,

Pulaski Receives Visit From Two
Hundred Indiana Farmers.


Hundred Indiana Farmers.
A special train having on board
200 Indiana farmers and mechanics,
headed by the governor of the state,
Hon. j. ID. Williams. whose sobri-
quet of "Blue jeans" is as familiar
to the popular ear in this part of
the country as household words,
reached Pulaski yesterday after
noon at 4 O'clock. The excursion
lists, who were making southern
tour for the purpose of seeing the
country, were fine looking body Of
men and they seemed to be enjoy
ing the trip amazingly. The mayor
and several members of the munich
pal board, together with delega-
tion of prominent citizens, met
them At the depot. When the
train arrived, Gov. Williams alight-
ed-and was introduced TO several
of our citizens. He is tall, angu-
lar person-the very picture OF a
rugged farmer accustomed to out
door work, and his appearance indi-
Gates more familiarity with the
corn-field than the council chamber.
He. is sound democrat, though;
makes a good governor, and is Inn
mensely popular with the farming
clesses, whose especial champion
he is.
On behalf of the people of Pu-
laski, Judge Jones and Col. Rose
rendered the visitors cordial well
come and expressed the regrets of
our people that they could not re-
main over day or two and put
Giles county hospitality 20 the test.
Gov. Williams responded briefly,
but in a happy vein. He said it
was his good fortune to visit this
section of tennessee in 1885, on
which occasion he listened with de-
light to speeches from James X.
Polk and Felix Grundy. He no.
ticed vast improvements every
where, especially in agriculture, and
he was sure we had progressed in
every other desirable way. He OK
cused himself for not wearing his
suit of blue jeans, on the ground
that the climate of this section
would fender them rather uncom-
Portable just now. He then returned
The thanks of The exoursionists for
the cordial welcome and regretted
hat their stay here was limited to
few minutes. At the close of his
remarks the engineer blew the
whistle and the tram moved of
amid the hearty cheers OF the
crowd.

Mr.. Haynie Rose met with an
accident last week which has placed
his left arm and hand on the retired
list for awhile at least. He was
breaking in a young horse and put
ting him through the preparatory
process in a trotting wagon when
1t occurred to the spirited animal
that a good way to escape further
instruction would be to run away,
which be did, overturning the vehi
Gle, and throwing Mr.. Rose to the
ground. The latter held pluckily
to the reins and was dragged a con
siderable distance before the rebel
lious young steed was checked. One
finger on Mr.. Roses left hand was
broken and the arm badly bruised.
AT first it was thought he was bad
ly hurt; but much to the relief of
his family and friends it was soon
discovered that his injuries were
not serious.

Charming Symptoms Of Schism
Among the Giles County
Republicans.

"Under which king-Grant or

now disturbing the councils OF
Giles county republicans, and be
fore it is answered to the satisfac-
ton of all concerned we are likely
to hear some racket among the
elect. Let US try ard bear the

and, il necessary, punch the animals
and whoop 'em up, so to speak, if
they do not sail in with animation.
A convention was held here sew

genuine article, in which the man

1t is claimed that it was regularly
called by the chairman of the coun-

dentials were duly VSsed by the dis
trlct and state committees. This
assemblage dispatched business with
neatness and dispatch-thst is TO
say it promptly appointed deleg ates
to the state convention who were
instructed to vote early and all the
time, and oftener.if necessary, for
Grant delegation to Chicago. Hsv-

claim that their delegates will be
recognized at Nashville, while the
