Midbridge,


The day is cold, and dark and dreary
1t rains, and the wind lie never weary.
The old year has breathed its
last, and the new year has come
forward, not in all its pride and
beauty, but with ceaseless mud and
rain ! have waited long and anx-
iously for some one TO give you a
few items from this quarter of the
globe, but it seems they never will,
so have at last concluded to exert
my feeble efforts in behalf of these
generous people,
II learn that Mrs Fannie L. Short
is married. All! these fellows from
abroad will steal in upon us un-
unawares and carry of the prize. l
extend to them my congratulations.
May unalloyed happiness ever be
theirs, and may all their fond antici-
pations be fully realized. And God
grant this dismal weather may not
be emblematic of their future lives |!
1t is rumored that some of our
bellies contemplate visiting Califor-
MIA this spring. What will some of
our Elkton boys do1 All our young
ladies are intellectual, sweet and
pretty. Our young men are as
scarce as money in an editors
pocket book.
Times are extremely insipid.
We hear nothing in the inside world
but idle gossip, fashion, and folly,
and nothing in the outside but
politics, until 1 am heartily sick of
every thing now political. Iwonder
God does not raise a political Moses
to save this great people,
Our Aspen Hill bach, had
better look to his laurels. From
the Knight-ly visits of Pleasant
Valley bachelor, who understand
is very fond of New-bills, would
like exceedingly well to launch his
barque upon the placid sea of love
Our pastor, w, b Lowery, has
been quite sick with typhoid fever
for several weeks. Glad to note he
is improving Some of bis preacher
brothers and friends will get down
right scolding when he gets able to
flourish his gifted pen.
Some of our Widowers who are
very fond of the finny tribe have
become impatient waiting for fish
ing time, and are now angling on
dry land, and 1 would be surprised
if they didn't catch - jilting.
Fannie Flowers fable, has
created quits a pancic in bachelor
dom. Come again, Miss Fannie,
you WELD a graceful pen, capable
of afording instruction.
Miss Josie Edmiston, one OF
Bethany's fairest, sweetest flowers,
will take charge of the school here,
at an early date. We gladly welcome
her back again.
Robbie Pagan, has been help
less with rheumatism for several
days; is some better, and / sincerely
hope will soon be herself again.
We have a nice, enterprising
neighborhood and extend to our new
neighbors, Messrs. Craig and Flautt,
a cordial welcome into our midst.
The wheat crops in this section
are generally good, so say the wise
and knowing ones.
For fear, Mr. Editor, you will
class ME with the young divine who
began his discourse, but for the life
of him could not find a stopping
point, / will close. If these few
stray thoughts don't find home in
in the waste basket, perhaps, OF
some future time, you may hear
again from EFFIE EVERGREEN.

The killing at the St Giles Mon
day has furnished the eolored popu-
lation with a theme for excited dis
cussion on the corners. They find
now all manner of things against
the prisoner. Before, he was quite
popular and was one of the quickest
and best walters in town. 1t is
quite evident that he had no malice
towards the boy he killed and that
it was done in the heat of passion
and without intention to kill him.
He could easily have split his head
open if he had wished to kill him.
His old comrades should not allow
his misfortune to prejudice them
against him.

GATHERED BY THE BOYS.

GATHERED BY THE BOYS.
The majority of new pupils
who reported Monday entered the
advanced classes, which we think Is
complimentary to our school.
Willie Davis, who has been
with US for fifteen months, has gone
home TO Alabama. He expects to
rest this session and return next
fall. We are sorry to part with
Will. The boys all like him.
MIR. Beasley, from the lower
end OF the county, missed the train
as he was coming to school the
other morning and had to walk
about six miles through the rain.
We think he should have the chro

The spring term of our school

the same this session that it was
last. There are several new boarders
at the college and others are expect
ed shortly. Several others will
board with families in town.
There will be two book keeping
elias es, primary and advanced. The
course will include single entry, or
binary accounts, etc. This class
will Re quite large. as it can be Ia
ken without interfering much with
the other studies. The advanced
course includes all of the best that
is taught at Eastman's College and
takes nearly all the time OF the ms
jority of pupils five months. A di-
ploma is given to those who com
plete the entire course. There will
be several boys in this course this
session.

We predicted two years ago, after
hearing Miss Lizzie st. Clair of
Franklin sing in the Presbyterian
church there, that she would be-
come famous. She electrified Gin
cinnati musicians at once and after
a years training there has taken a
position in a st. Louis choir. She
will place herself under a master
again next summer and in a year
will be one of the most accom-
plished singers this country ever
produced. She is a poor girl finan-
cially but rich in the possession of
the sweetest and most flexible
voice we ever heard.

1t has recently been found that
the maddog epidemic in Pulaski
last summer was a false alarm.
Maddogs were seen almost every
day and the community was kept in
a state of alarm continually. Some
boys were doing all Of it-actually
manufacturing maddogs. They
used red pepper TO make the dog
slohber and another application to
make him run and cut antics, and
then they sat by and laughed while
the populAce gave chase. The
people will never forget the Town
send maddrg that brought out the
wn to chase him last summer.
Men with pistols, guns, axes, sticks,
etc, on foot and on horseback, ran
him all over Pulaski and final
| IN killed him in Roses stable-and
then we all breathed free and
loaded up for the next one. That
dog had red pepper, etc. We can't
say whether getting rid of the dogs
compensated for the scare or not

rents watched for soldering ours,
and how they kept their children

because most people do not know how to
select coffee, or It Is spoiled In the roasting
or making. To obviate these difficulties
has been our study. Thurber's package
coffees are selected by an expert who un-
derstands.the art Of blending various ma
vors. They are roasted In the most perfect
manner (it is impossible to roast well In
small quantities., then put in pound pack
ages I'm The bean, not 0Tosr1d,) bearing our
signature as q guarantee OF Renuineness,
and each package contains the Thuroer
recipe for making good Conee. We pack
two kinds, Thurber's "No. a." strong
and pungent; Thurber's 'No. A." mild
and rich. One or the other win suit every
taste. They have the three great points,
good quality, honest quantity, reasonable
price. Ask your Grocer for TRarbe's
roasted Office IN pound packages, mo. "a
Or"No. A." Do not be put on with any
other kind-your own palate wiz tell you
what IL best.
