Magic vs.. "Sorman' Scale.
1t seems to be the correct thing to
settle all disputes concerning rival
systems or rival machines, etc, by a
test trial. One day last week, Mrs.
Shackleford, ''chalnpioness' of the
Magic Scale for cutting and fitting
dresses, challenged Mrs. Gibbs,
"chalnpioness" of the Norman sys-
tenn. Nine disinterested parties were
called in and with one voice decided
in favor of the Norman scale used by
Mrs. Gibbs. The contest was all in
good spirit and the many friends of
the Norman are rcjoiccd that 1t ''took
the cake" 1t
The above advertisement appeared
in the LEDGER two weeks since, and
was ordered in again this week.
When it appeared before, Mrs. Shack
elford wrote us q clustering letter
from Kansas City, and when she got
home she came out on the street
and said she would put US through,
&C., for misrepresenting the contest.
If we have misrepresented her, Or
her scale, we ask her pardon; but If
she wants any letters or advertise
mcnts in the LEDGER, she can have
all the room she wants at regular
rates. We have investigated the
matter, though, and are sure that
there were nine parties present, and
that they all decided in favor of Mrs.
NJ. +. Gibbs scale. We are not in
terested in the matter, and trust Mrs.
Shackleford will not try to "put us
through too small a hole; it might
hurt our feet.

Barnes & Houston, of this city,
have extensive yards just northwest
of the square filled with the best of
all kinds. They are live men-up to
the times in every sense of the word.
They buy their lumber in large guam
titles and pay the cash, and in this
way they secure bargains for their
customers. They believe in quick
sales and small profits. To parties
who want a large amount they make
q big reduction. At least it will
cost you nothing to call and get
prices. They keep the best lime in
the State, which they sell at the very
lowest figures. Sash, doors and
blinds always on hand. Lumber de-
livered in any part of the city free.
No firm IN the West, or East for that
matter, can offer better inducements
to purchasers. Call and see them.

LADDoNIA, May 3O.-Yesterday
was a big day in town. occasioned
by the dedication of the Baptist

ing their prettiest; even Miss Flora

What a great satisfaction it is to Miss

Rev. j. c. Maple preached the ded-

lars. The church is now free from
debt. A sumptuous dinner was
spread upon the ground, and all
seemed happy and glad they were
there.
A few gay youths and fair maidens
came down from Mexico in buggies.
The youths, in order to make them
selves mor spiritually minded,
brought their bottles we'll filled with
spirits, but, sorry to relate, they did
not let them remain filled. They
began to drink; then they began to
take buggy rides; drove to Farber
and back at a reckless speed; drove
through town on a race, upsetting
one buggy, throwing the girl and
gentleman out, spraining his arm
badly, and knocking the girl sense
less. She was picked up and taken
to Mr.. Rippie's. DIR. Banks was called
In, and pronounced it no serious hurt.
Shortly after they all started back to
Mexico, ''Frenchy" taking a farewell
drink before leaving town by way OF
emptying his bottle. Such reckless
driving should be stopped; it's not
only dangerous for those driving, but
to those walking the street. Now is
a chance for the council to put theil

Died at the age OF Ninety.tIiree
Years.

The SOmerville Reporter ofthe 18th
contains the following notice Of the
death ofa venerable mother in Is
rael"
Mrs. Jane Ballard died at her resi-
dence in this place at one o'clock on
the morning Of the 26th inst, after a
long and painful illness.
Mrs. Ballard was born October %
l1S8, and was therefore ninety. three
years of age last Saturday. She was
married in 1911, when but fourteen
years Of age. Her husband died in
1921, since which time she has lived a
widow. She was the mother of eight
children, five of whom are still living
in this county, also one son in Missis,
slppi and one in California. She had
nineteen grand children, ten great
grand children, and eight great great
grand children.
Mrs. Ballard came to Somerville in
1887, twelve years after the town
was made the county site, and has been
identified with the place and the peo.
pie ever since. By her death another
of the old landmarks has been re =
moved.
In 1880, ffty-One years ago, she
made q profession Of religion and
joined the Methodist church, in
which faith she lived and died. She
was a great lover of the Bible, which
was her constant companion and a
source from which she derived com
fort amid all the trials and difficulties
of life. Within the past year she had
read the New Testament through
seven times and had entered upon the
eighth reading when the illness which
resulted in her death seized upon
her.
She was buried Tuesday evening
The funeral service, conducted by
Rev. w. S. Cochran, was attended by
many of her friends, who also followed
her remains to the CARVE.
Mrs. Ballard was kind, good and
useful woman, and there are many
families in Somerville who will long
remember her kindness in hours of
sickness and afliction. She was per-
mitted to live much longer than the
time allotted to mortals here below,
and at good old age has been called
to reap the reward of well spent life.
Her sorrow;ng children and relatives
have tie sympathies of the entire
community in their sad bereavement.

Apropos to the case of Slower VS..
the Tennessee Brokerage Association
in this city, heard before Esquire
Coleman, the Nashville World of yes
terday says;
Some time ago one of our merchants
made an investment in futures at the
Tennessee Brokerage Association, and
gave his note in payment. The note
was taken by Mr.. Bell to Sax's bank
and discounted. Yesterday it fell
due, and not being paid Mr.. Sax has
brought suit against its maker. The
case will come up before Justice j. B.
Brown tomorrow afternoon. We
understand that the defendant will
plead, through his attorney, that the
note is void, having been given for a
gambling debt. In that event the
case will involve the legality
of the bucket shop business. We
were informed last night by a well
known attorney that in the event the
gambling act was pleaded, it was a
matter OF some uncertainty as to how
the case would be decided. The
bucket shop is a new institution il
this State, and there are now no stat
utes of direct reference to the matter
In other States acts prohibiting spec
ulatiOn as to future prices of grain
stocks, etc., have been passed. Bu

GENERAL Robert Lowry, Demo-
cratic nsminee for Governor of Mis-
sissippi, is to address the citizens of
Vicksburg to morrow, the 18th inst,
at the 0perahouse. His canvass over
the State seems to have been CON
tinuous triumph. Heis a representa-
tive man of whom the people may
well feel proud, whether he contin.
ues to be a private citizen or is
elected to the chief magistracy of the
State. he is one Ct the self.made
men of Mississippi. An old time
Whig and Union man, he opposed
SECESSION; when the war came on he
made common cause with his neigh
bors and Kindred. His natural abil-
ity and courage elevated him to the
command of as gallant a brigade as
ever made charge. When the war
was over he accepted the result
as final, and ever after lent his inAu-
ence to the rehabilitation of the State
and the common welfare OF the peo-
pie. In the darkest days of recon-
struction his voice was slways raised
for the right, and his counsels tenn
pered by prudence, frmness and sa-
gacity. In elevatiDg such a man
to the gubernatOrial chair, the
people honor themselves rather
than the man they elect. 1t is we'll
to recognize the services, the integrity
and ability of one whose experience,
education, ability and sympathies pre-
eminately designate him as a safe,
worthy and bonored leader. Of his
election by majority of the free and
intelligent voters of the State there
seems to be no doubt.

a Hint TO the League.
labIe 10 tho New York HeraId

By Cable to the New York Herald
LONDON, October 23.-A clever and
extraordinary scheme for carrying on
the agitation in spite Of the govern
ment has been proposed TO the League
by gentleman unconnected with the
organization, but constant and
friendly adviser. He proposes that
Messrs. Parnell, Dillon, 0'Kelly and
Sexton shall resign their seats in Par
lament and that new and trusty men
be put up for election in their places.
In the course of the electoral cam
paigns the League doctrines could be
promulgated all over the counties rep.
resented by the imprisoned members.
The anxiety of the League now is to
inspire the people with con-
tinual confidence after the heavy
blows dealt by the government. This
plan would admirably serve the pur.
pose. 1t is part of the scheme for
such new members to resign when the
prisoners are liberated, but the draw
back to the plan is that Mr.. Gladstone
might refuse to accept the designations
of Mr.. Parnell and the others. The
campaign will soon begin for the elec.
tlon Of a successor to Mr.. A. NJ. Sui
livan. 1t is expected that the League
will use the platform as suggested
The whole plan is receiving serious
consideration,

DEATH FROM EXPOSURE.
A Reminder of the Epedemic Of
1870.
Special to the Nashville Baupor.l

Special to the Nashville Banner.
ST. LOUIS, October 26.-The Re-
publican says an incident of the ter
rible yellow fever epedemic Of 1879, is
recalled in depositions taken yestef
day before Notary A. A Paxon, in
the suit brought for sl6O by the pro-
prietors of Barnum's Hotel against
the estate of Mr.. A. j. Slaughter.
Mr. Slaughter was commission mer-
chant in Memphis, and had only been
married a short time when the yellow
fever broke out, and he came. with his
wife, to st. Louis, taking quarters at
Barnum's where he remained from
the llth to the oath Of October. He
was taken i'll, and in day or two his
illness developed into case
of yellow fever, but of a
very mild type. 1t was reported
to the Board of Health, which oI
course determined to move him to
quarantine. He protested that il
would be certain death to him, and
implored the authorities to let him
remain, his wife joining with him in
his entreaties. he offered the proprie-
tors of the hotel several thousand dol
lars to keep him until bis recovery,
and when all failed, he placed his re
volver under his pillow and declared
be would sell his life as dearly as pos
sible. The weapon was taken from
him and he was carried to the quaran-
tine hospital, the exposure, it is
alleged, having the effect Of killing
him. His estate is in the Chancery
Court in Memphis, and suit has been
instituted there by the prOprietors oi
the hotel for the board of himself and
family and the damage done the room
by his sickness in it.
