MIR. James r. Grove returned to

the residence of his mother-in-law,
Mrs. Towsen, at Hartsville, with a
severe attack of infammatory rheu

made such an impression on him
that he says as soon as he RECEIVERS

The Nashville Banner is Usually
very fair, but Its reputation in this
respect will suffer if it gives place
to many such pan agraphs as this:
ga Pulaski divine has classed
Miss Julia A. Hunt with Miss Sara
Bernhardt. 1t is an excellent ad
vertisement for Miss Hunt, and In
stead of saying what he did about
ministers her represen tative should
have been Profuse in his thanks to
the reverend gentleman"
DIR. Leftwich, the divine alluded
to. did not class Miss Hunt with
Miss Bernhardt. He merely alluded
TO the two as representatives Of Il e
dramatic profession. Chasing the
former with the latter would Imply
that he placed them on the same
footing, which be did not. The
Banner must have known this, since
it used the most of the CITIZEN
article on the subject as editorial
matter, and, what is more, failed IT,

Hunting Buried Treasure,

Thursday last, q rather dismal
looking person, with signs of mil
dew about his clothes, arrived at the
Linden House and scIawled the
name of Joseph Philburn on the
register. The writer said he was
from Girard, Illinois; that he was a
wholesale and retail hunter or
buried treasure, and as he had
heard that a good deal of gold and
silver had been concealed in the
soil around Pulaski during the war,
he thought he would come down
and skirmish around for it. He
had a piece of whalebone tipped
with metal which he said was an in
falliole instrument for detecting
buried treasure and indicating the
exact spot where it was located.
tie also informed the people about
the hotel that he had just returned
from Leadville and Deadwood, where
he had been very successful IN To-
eating silver mines. On Friday he
visited the farms of Messrs. James
+. McKissack, Mel. Patteson and
HEX Ballentine and waved his
whalebone over several acres of real
estate. very much after the manner
of a water witch; but without dis
covering any startling signs of coin.
Al one spot his in, trument bent
downward, which be said indicated
the presence of treasure, but from
the indications he thought he
would have TO sink shaft TO get it,
which would be too much trouble,
as he didn't think il amounted TO
more than 81 T5 anyway. After n
disheartening tramp he returned to
town and made a meal on
cheese and crackers, after which he
went to the hotel to pick his teeth,
Subsequently, he packed up his
treasure indicator and silently dis
appeared.

An Enizootic Enisoda.

One of our country friends left
home on horseback Monday. He
started for town, but his voyage
was cut short before he had sailed
q mile. Thirty yards from the
house the horse he bestrode hump
Ell his back and sneezed him clear
over his head, landing him on a
rock-pile, business end downward.
He arose with much dignity,
remounted, and pursued lis journey
with few christian remarks about
the weather. Half a mile further
on, it's steed stopped abruptly,
parted its legs in the middle, lean
ed to the left and coughed him
sideways into the air. He de-
scended like a pair of half-open
compasses on the top rail of a fence,
and experienced a sensation about
the crotch when he struck which
made him hunt around Tor the
word dammit. Fortunately, be-
fore he discovered it, it occurred to
him that may be his horse had the
eplzootic. He descended from his
perch, walked rather
wide apart to the imal and found
il bathed in tears AMI leaking
badly at the nose. He was thor
oughly convinced when the poor
beast rubbed its nose against his
breast and left about a quart of mu
cIlage sticking to his shirt front.

The horses and mules in the

The horses and mules in the
county are coughing and sneeziDg
and displ ying a wetness about the
nose and eyes that indicates the
epizootic in a genuine form. The
livery stables IN town are scourged
with the disease. Haynie Rose has
lot of roadsters bar king and
wheeling in lively style and Jim
Jackson's emporium of horse fesh
is sneezing its head off with the
same juicy ailment. 1t takes two
grooms TO manage horse -one to
hold q bucket under his eyes and
catch the tears and another to mop
his snoot with u big rag. Since
the disease made it's appearance the
enterprising liverymen mentioned
have discovered that horses lack
three very essential things-hip
pockets, handkerchiefs and hands.

The recent conflict between the
pulpit and the stage in this place
has ELECTED a good many comments
from the press. The Nashville
Banner, with its usual facility for
straddlIng both horns of a dilemma,
ranges itself on the side of the
church in one article and then
rallies to the support OF the drama
in another. The American, in an
elaborate but rather foggy article,
arrives at the sage conclusion that
extremes are dangerous and that if
things are thus it is prima facie
evidence that thev ought to be that
way. The Nashville Herald, il q
brave and spirited paragraph. which
we reprint elsewhere, upholds and
defends the pulpit. The Louisville
Courier Journal states the facts
and leaves its readers to form their
own conclusions.

"PAR" AND "pA."
How a Sentimental Young Man
Discovered the Difference
Between the Two.

The other night a Giles county
yQang man was sitting up with bis
sweetheart. burning considerable
coal oil and consuming with neat
ness and dispatch a prime lot OF
firewood. The conversation had
reached point where neither had
anything of vital importance to say

dropping rather heavily. The young

afternoon, didn't care to leave, SO

Said she:
"Smack away, caramel of my

playing something else-mumble-

he saw it wouldn't do to falter and
he kept bravely on The s;xtieth

The Drama.

The celebrated Wallace Sisters
supported by Dobson's New YORK
Fifth Avenue Combination of dra
matte artistes, will give an enter
tain ment at Antoinette Hail Mon
day evening next, on which occa
sion will be produced John Broug
hams highly sensational society
drama, "Mihnie's Luck" with the
sparkling Miss Jennie Wallace in
the title role. Referring to her
success in this play, and to the
company itself, the Philadelphia
City Item says:
The heroiae of the story, who,
stolen from motives of revenge,
goes through a series of the most
exciting adventures, is personated
by Miss Jennie Wallace, the star OF
the troupe. Her sweet and musical
voice, and touching and interesting
manner, impart a woHderful charm
TO the character, which could not

actress not favored with her natu
raj advantages. Her sister, Maud,
by her liyeliness and grace. and the
spirit and vim which she throws
INTO her specialties, is a welcome
relief to the sadder portions of the
play. The actors vino support
them are all artists OF ability, land
selected regardless of expense from
the best theatres in the United
States, for their particular adapta-
ton to the roles they represent.

Giles College Capt. Wilkes Lecture.
Reported by the Boys.
Capt. w likes lecture last Friday,
on "The Duty of Guar dians," was
thoroughly practical and exceeding
" interesting and profitable. He
expressed himself as much pleased
with the new business feature soon
TO be introduced in our school, as
many OF us would otherwise become
men, ignorant of the law pertaining
to many OF the most Ordinary bust
ness transactions of every day life,
which we would probably be made
aware of by an Improbable expert
ebce. The following are a few of
his many practical remarks !:
EVERY one is regarded by the law as
an infant until he arrives at the age
OF 81. If he has property. guard
Ian must be appointed. His f; Their
is not his guardian unless appointed
by the court. and is required, like
any other guardian, to give bond
for double the amount, with three
securities A father cannot use
his child's money for its educa
tion or necessary expenses, I'M
less he is unable to pay 1t himself.
Anv one over IA years o: age is al
lowed TO choose his own guardian,
yet the court may reject him as be
ing incompetent. If left to the
court, it usually selects the father.
or some near relative. The guard
ian is required to keep the wards
money out at interest, and can use
for the benefit OF the ward the inter
est only. With permission of the
court, however, he may use the prin-
cipal for his education or necessary
expenses when the interest is not
sufficient; and contracts made by
wards fNr this purpose. are sus
tanned, but not when made for any
other. The court will always edn-
cate, when it is left with it to decide
how the money should be spent.
There are wards in this county
whom the courts are allowing to
spend every cent they have in this
way. The guardian cannot use for
his own benefit any OF the money
entrusted to him, but is required To
pass accounts" at stated times, and
the courts will allow him such com
pensation as they may deem prop
er. A security Tor guardian is not
released until the ward Is "a years
of age. A mans guardianship ceas-
es when the ward arrives at the age
of 81, but il the ward be q girl, aud
she should mary before that age. it
would cease at The time of her mar
riage; her husban becoming her
guardian. To her husband she sur
renders her heart. her hand. her all.
Bat the court might decide that her
husband was incompetent, and her
property would not be delivered TO
him, bat settled upon her If both
husband and wife are under the age
OF Il, the husbands guardian be-
comes also the guardian of the wife
TIL be is 81. If a guardian dies,
the court appoints another and his
executor does not succeed to the
trust"
The above is very imperfect re
port Of the Captains lecture, but
we hope he will excuse US, as we
are Inexperienced reporters. These
lectures will be given twice a month
by ;he different members ui our
able bar. and we feel sure that we
will be very much benefited by
them IL we will only pay close atten-
tion. Capt. e.. =. Jones will be our
