Tullahoma, has been visiting friends at
this place the present week.
The unpleasant appearance of even
the most amiabe and intelligent face,
when covered with surface irritations
as from letter, pimples, or eczema can
be dissolved naturally by DR.. Benson's
Skin Cure, an excellent toilet dressing.
1t cures dandruff of the scalp.
The Independent and Unceremo-
NOUS Social Club will meet at the
residence of Mr.. and Mrs. r. Mead,

In a car load of mules recently
shipped from this point to Selma, Ala,
by Houchin u Biles, an extra fine
mule was taken out of the lot and a
very inferior animal substituted in its
stead. The exchange is supposed to
have taken place at some point on the
route where the mules were unloaded
to be fed.
"A. M. Cawthon is now exhibiting
the largest and handsomest stock of
cooking and heating stoves we have
ever seen in this market. He hass0m
of the prettiest parlor stoves We have
ever seen, and also stock Of beautiful
toilet or chamber sets. 1t is well
worth visit to his house to look through
his stock.
There was meeting at the resi-
dence of Capt. Coffee Thursday night
for the purpose of organizing literary
society. At the time of going to press
we have not learned of the success Of
the move, but hope it was satisfactory
as such a society, if entered into in
earnest by our young people, would
prove a constant source of entertain
ment and improvement.
Mrs. Henry Rowan sent us las
Saturday some of the finest second cror
Early Rose potatoes we have ever seen
They were very fine. If our friends
continue to send us samples of thei
potatoes we will have enough to plan
nice patch next Spring We ar,
taking care of them and will plan
them next Spring. Those who hav
raised a second crop should take care o
them for seed, they will all be wantet
next spring and many more.
-Tullahoma has Reading an,
Dramatic Club which is furnishin
the citizens of that place with som
very excellent entertainments. w
would like to see McMinnville boast
similar organization. The best safe
: gaurd against the glittering lightc tha
lure young men to evil is to interee
them in social pleasures and meeting
l where no evil exists, and where the
will be surrounded by only pure an
Y good influences. The lights are il
: creasiug along the "broad road" i
McMinnville, and healthy reactio
Y in the matter of social gatherings is {
# vital importance to our moral and rel
. gious progress just now.

a did SO. Mr.. S. of late makes it Co
venient to spend Sunday here. 1t is
70 fact that we have a splendid hote

q ducement for many travelling CONNIE
cial men to spend Sunday in McMin
