A Happy Sight

Did you take pains to notice the opera
ton of Holman's Pad upon pevish, sick,
irritable baby. that has suffered and cried
its life nearly away, and which nothing
has hitherto caused it to thrive and be
happy?
1t is very interesting. The first sign of
improvement is seen in the 81, Ilarity and
length of the little ones maps. Then come
good appetite, regular bowels, the end of
crying and worriment, and, finally, rosy,
cy to get fat-in short, bouncing, happy,
beautiful baby.
And there has been no dosing, no strang-
ulation, no destruction of the stomach by
drugs. Just natural cure in Natures
way. The fathers heartache is gone, the
poor, tired mother gets rest, and baby
happy as the day is long-makes the whole
house happy.

Let Us Hove a Br,cIx Deno,,

1t is stated that the new Louis
vile and Nashville Depot, which
will be built at Bradley's brick
yard, is to be only frame building
The citizens of GAINESVILLE will re-
greet to hear this, and we think it is
a near-sighted policy on the part of
the railroad company. They have
consulted the wish of the citizens of
GAINESVILLE, and selected the very
best point in the city whereon to
build their depot and they ought to
erect a substantial brick structure.
It's true the railroad company are
the owners of this property and
are their own masters, but in def
ference to the large travelling public
of city of this size, and business
interests, we submit they ought TO
consult the wishes of our people,
and give us handsome depot.
GAINESVILLE is the largest city on this
line of the railroad, situated just
half way between Louisville and
Memphis, and is a point where a
large number of people from all
parts of the country, south, north
and west of us, come to take the
road. With such a passenger traf-
fic then, and in a city, with such
splendid private and public build
ings as GAINESVILLE, let us have
substantial depot, and one that will
be an ornament to the city. The
location chosen is to be the perma-
nent one for passenger depot, and
would it not bea matter of economy
to build brick building? There is
a reciprocity of interests between
every railroad running through u
city and its citizens which ought to
be recognized, and in building us
a commodious and suitable brick
depot, the railroad will regard
this and make a sincere friend of
every citizen of GAINESVILLE. And
right here, we will say, the people
feel the need of this depot, and are
anxious for the company to begin
its erection.

Ben Harris Joke.

Our genial joking friend, Ben
Harris, of the Southside, has been
palming off some White Burley to-
baccO-fy eggs on Ingram as Locust
eggs, and has actually got the old
fellow Matching them out in bottle.
He has taken advantage OF the old
fellows weak eyes to perpetrate this
outrageous joke on him, and the old
gentleman in blissful ignorance of
what he really has in the bottle is
petting and rearing them. Hear
how tenderly he writes of them.
He says the dear little things are
"hatching and crawling all over the
bottle. They are quite small, hard
ly as large as gnat, and yet NOV
ing about Just think of that, the
darlin' little creatures. But just
immagine the old gentleman's utter
disgust and contempt when he dis
covers what they are. He'll go
right over the river and Guiteau
Ben Harris. He'll be mad. He
says he has enough of this White
Burley nonsense and if the people
don't let him alone about it he'll
hurt somebody.

rhe Llghtnlng,s FIery Freaks.

During the rain storm last Sun
day afternoon, the lightning played
some strange pranks. One of the
most remarkable freaks of this mys-
terious element which we have
ever heard of, occurred in this
county on the plantation of Mr.. S.
j. Odell, in district No. 3, who re-
lated the strange phenomenon to us
in person. He says about 5o'clock,
during the storm, himself and wife
and little child were in his house,
which is situated in one of the bot
toms of Little West Fork river,
about half way between Peacher's
Mills and New Providence, when
the lightning struck the chimney
and ran down into the room in
which he and wife and little child
were, tearing up the hearth and
scattering brick and splinters all
over the room. But the most re-
markable part of the occurrence is
what followed Immediately after
the first shock. He says that quick
as flash after the stroke, which,
strange to say, hardly dazed him.
self and wife, large ball of fire,
about the size of large-sized
bomb shell, rolled out on the floor
in front of the hearth and bursted
with loud sharp crack, exactly
similar to the bursting of a shell.
The particles flew into thousand
little balls Of fire that danced
and whirled and sizzled about the
room again for u second and then
came together, forming another
ball of liquid, translucent fire, even
larger than the first, and rolled
about the room until it struck the
side OF the wall, when it again eX
ploded with Il terrific conclusion,
splitting the chair-board and tear
ing up the floor for two or three
feet around, making complete
kindling wood of it. He says the
room was filled with thick smoke,
which emitted an odor exactly like
burnt powder, and was almost stiff
ing. The little child, only two
years old, was considerably stunned,
but he and wife were not affected |
beyond slight shock, and recov-
cred from that in time to crouch
upon the bed in terrified amaze
ment at the startling scene going
on in the room. Nothing was set i
on fire, nor could any meteoric sub
stance be found in the room to af-
ford the slightest cue to the strange
tricks of the fiery element. Mr..
Odell is very naturally curious to
know if any scientific gentlemen
can give a reasonable solution to
this strange occurrence, and if so,
would be glad to hear from him.
Aside from the wonderful phenom-
ena of the fiery balls, the fact that
he and family made such a miracu-
lous escape from instant death is,
indeed, noteworthy.

Mrs. Lena Hume Dortch, wife of
VIM. T. Dortch, and only daughter
of Mr.. VIM. P. Hume, died in this
city Sunday, the 18th of July, after
brief but painful illness. I have
seldom known the death of any one
TO fill the hearts of the people of
GAINESVILLE with more sadness than
did the death of this lovely woman.
From her earliest childhood she
was favorite with all her associ-
ates. Her bright, thoughtful, intel
ligent countenance, her quiet de-
meanor, her ardent piety, her gem
tie manners and most amiable vir-
tues will be recalled in sad yet
pleasing recollections by all with
whom she was acquainted. TO all
the duties of life she was faithful.
To her church, from mere child
hood, she had been a devOut MEM
Der, and her uniformly accompany
ing graces of meekness and gentle
ness, courtesy and kindness, chart
ty and patience, were an evidence
of the inward workings of Gods
spirit upon her susceptible nature.
Life has been beautifully de-
scribed as resembling the divisions
Of the solar day. She had scarcely
reached the meridian-ripe woman
hood ere death-the night which
folds us in its dark curtains-called
her away to sink to rest; yet with
firm hope that when the brief
trance has passed, ''safe in the arms
of Jesus" she shall open her eyes,
upon a world of Eden freshness and
beatty, to arise and walk forth
amid the beams of a sun whose
light shall continue to cast forth its
brilliancy till time shall end.
Faith wings the soul beyond the sky,
Up TO that better world on high,
For which zoe wait"

Court-house-which is now very
nearly completed, and will be turn
ed over to the county about August
the lst-our attention was particu-
larly attracted to the fine job OF
painting which is there exhibited
to the eye of the observer, This
part of the work was done by
Messrs Tarply Il Mcguire "f our
city, and stamps them as skilled
and competent workmen in this
line. The painting is in imitation
of black walnut, and is SO artistic
ally and carefully executed that it
seems as if you were looking at the
veritable walnut itself. Every one
who sees it will be compelled to
pronounce it a first class job of fine
painting. The contractors did well
in securing the services Of Messrs.
Tarply & Mcguire.

GaskeII,s Compendium.

This is a title of a new book OF
educational, social, legal and COM
mercial forms by Prof. g. A. Cas-
kell of Bryant q STATIONS business
college renown, which is much SUI
perior to anything of the kind
which has previously emanated
from the press. That it is the re-
suit of a vast amount of research on
the part of thoroughly trained and
experienced minds is evident from
the most cursory glance at its well
filled pages. Embraced in the work
is a self-teaching course in PEN
manship and bookkeeping, and aid
to English composition, including
photography, capital letters, punctu-
alton, composition, elocution, ora
tory, rhetoric, letter writing in all
its forms, the laws and bylaws of
Social etiquette, business law and
commercial forms, complete die
tionary of legal and commercial
terms synonyms, authorizations,
foreign phrases, poetry, etc.; also a
manual of agriculture and mechan-
les with complete guide to par
liamentary practice. 1t will be seen
from this brief synopsis that the
work is unusually full and complete,
and embraces a great many more
subjects than any similar work
heretofore published. The abstracts
of the laws of the several states on
collection of debts, attachments,
arrests in civil actions, executions,
damages. exemptions from forced
sale, contracts, deeds, rights of mar
ried women, etc., contained in no
similar work, is a most excellent
feature. The tables, also, are invalu-
able. In addition to those usually
given are tables of the census OF
1880, a complete tabulated financial,
political, military and naval history
of the United States, history of
the several states and territories,
their state and municipal debts,
areas, governments, schools, col
leges, churches, railroads, ect., so
full of facts that they can be appre-
ciated only by reference to them.
Nothing that such work ought to
contain is omitted, and we assume
nothing in saying that it viii be
appreciated by all who examine it.

shooting AFFAIR sunday Aftern

ShOOt1hS Affair SUNDAY Afternoon.
a shooting affray took place at
the corner of Franklin and First
Cross streets on Sunday afternoon
last, about 4 O'Clock, in which po-
liceman Thomas Howell and Mr..
William Lawrence, a carpenter OF
this city, were the principals. The
facts, as we learn them, are about as
follows:
1t seems that Lawrence and An
drew Howell, a brother of officer
Howell, had had difficulty in the
morning and officer Howell hear
ing of it undertook to arrest Law
renee. 1T is not understood wheth-
er Lawrence attempted to make
any resistance or not, there being
no one on hand at the time the two
men met, but when the parties were
first seen, Lawrence had Howell's
club in his hand but was not seen
to make any resistance or attempt
to use it. During the encounter
Howell drew his pistol and fired
three shots at Lawrence none of
which took effect. and then arrest
ell Lawrence and carried him to the
lookup. The affair created cOnsid-
cradle excitement at the time. The
next morning Lawrence was fined
fifteen dollars for his assault on An
drew Howell, and the police COM
mittee of the board of mayor and
alderman met and suspended officer
Howell from the force until the
regular meeting of the board, when
final action will be taken in the
matter. Mr.. Merce Mckay was
temporarily elected a member of
the force in Howell's stead.
