Yielding TO the solicitations of
a few friends to become a CORES
pondent from this part of the "mor-
al vineyard" l assume the duty,
feeling, however, my inability to
do justice, but hope all errors and
DEFICIENCIES win be pardoned.
Mrs. DR.. Campbell of Lynnville
is visiting Mr.. w. E. Mckenzie.
Our school under the supervis
ion of Charles NJ. Witt is large and
flourishing.
Miss Florence May of Pulaski
is visiting at the residence of Judge
I. NJ. Bramlett.
Miss Lizzie Peden, charming
brown-eyed beauty.of Haywood, is
visiting in this vicinity. Hope she
will remain long time.
We learn that the ice cream
supper at Mr.. JAS. Bufords last
Tuesday eve was a decided success,
the proceeds being about 500.
"A picnic is on the tapis at
Cooks Springs next Friday. Sew
eral of our counting characters are
looking forward with joyous antici-
patton.
Mrs. Irwin, the accomplished
wife of our highly esteemed pastor
at Olivet returned last week from
"a protracted visit to relatives in
Maury county.
The ice. cream supper at Pleas
ant Valley Friday eve was a com
.plete success. The attendance was
large, including representatives from
several neighborhoods, The pro
ceeds approXimated 500,
Extensive rainfalls have pre-
vailed here for the past few weeks,
and crops are splendid The wheat
has been threshed, the yield be-
ing generally good. We. believe
Mr.. Gill. Buford's wheat averaged
20 bushels per acre,
The boys says that Judge L.
NJ. Bramlett says he was joking, he
didn't want to marry. This may
be true, but it seems strange to US
that a widower brilliant and young
looking would decline wearing mat
rimonial honors.
-Thos. Cheatham of Ellis coun-
ty, Texas, was on a visit to rela-
tives here last week. 1t is rumored
that we will have another wedding,
soon. We hope matters will work
to focus shortly, and give us an
item, for we love to register the
happy events.
Married, at the residence of the
brides mother, on last Wednesday
eve, by Rev. Joe. Irwin, Mr.. Gill T.
Williamson and Miss Alice Cox.
Attendants Miss Ada Williamson
with Mr.. VIM. Sanders, Miss Mary
E. McKissack of Pulaski with Mr..

pliments and congratulations May
your future life be one of unclouded
happiness and spotless bliss; and
may you ever bask in the sunlit
realms of eternal enjoyment, famed
by Empyrean zephyrs, freighted
with pure delights. The reception
given on Monday at the residence
of the groom's father was a bril-
liant affair. The call of business
prevented us attending, but we were
kindly remembered by a charming
brown-eyed nymph, to whom we owe
a thousand thanks and compli-
ments.

lar correspondent from this place,

THE DIRECTORS MEET.
Immediately upon the adjourn
ment Of the meeting the new board
of directors met and organized by
electing A. j. McKimmin president
and Charles Buford secretary and
treasurer.
The board resolved to 90 out yes
terday in body and inspect the
road closely with a view to letting
out the contracts Immediately, and
the secretary was directed to adver-
tise for bids. 1t is understood
we believe, that the road is to
be worked at the Brick Church end
until finished to the top of the hill
this side of Esq. Harmon's, and
then it is to be worked from the Pu-
laski end until finished. This was
probably determined by the board
yesterday.
No company ever had more sub
stantial board of directors-men
willing and ANXIOUS and able to do
work effectively and quick, and we
may safely rely upon them to do it.

Death Of Dr.. Brown.

DIR. OWEN VENABLE Brown died
very suddenly at his home neal
Buford's on last Friday evening at Z
o'clock of congestion of the brain.
He retired Wednesday night appa-
rently as well as usual and be
awakened his wife about o'clock
in a paroxysm. He hardly re
gained consciousness after that and
continued to have the spasms until
death ensued. DIR. Brown was one
of the leading physicians of the
country, useful, intelligent, pro
gressiye citizen. His sudden death
is a severe stroke to his wife and six
little children, as well as to large
number of friends. He was born in
Maury county in 1888 and came to
Giles and practiced medicine from
before the war. He married Miss
Elizabeth Buford, daughter of Mrs.
Newton White. The remains were
buried in the Pulaski Cemetery Sat
urday at 2 O'clock and were fol
lowed to the grave by a long pro
cession Of sorrowing people. In
him passed away one of our most
useful men, loved and trusted uni

Col. Holman's Sueech

Col. Jas. II. Holman of Fayette-
vile spoke three and a halfhours in
Pulaski last Monday to very large
crowd and was listened to attentively
throughout. Col. Holman is one of
the ablest men in the state, and
though his premises were a little
tedious, his speech was a mastery
presentation of the Boilers side
He exhibited wonderful lung power
and he went over his subject from
one end to the other. We doubt
whether his side will ever again be
so ably presented in Pulaski. We
believe, however, that his speech
had very little effect in changing
mems opinions. His grounds are
absolutely untenable and his argu-
ments fallacious, so much so indeed
that the most casual listener can
see the errors. There is not a more
honorable, stable, progressive gentle
man IN Tennessee than Col. Holman,
and he is Il man of strong conYic-
tions and has the courage and
ability to maintain them He is
certainly wrong in boiling, and bolt
ing is all the fault we care to see in
him. The little minor differences
in men upon details in planks and
petitions and resolutions does not
make either less a democrat. 1t is
strange, however, that a man of Col.
Holman's penetration cannot see
that he is measuring democracy by
a time table for this trip only and
that the effect of his bolt is in
Hawkins favor. We do not differ
with him materially upon the real
merits of the debt question, but we
are very far from HIM in our esti-
mate of the duty democrats owe the
party, and in this great crucial con-
test we are forced to doubt the real
purity of democracy that permits
an act that is absolutely fatal to the
party. Col. Holman never once at
tackled the real enemy, the repubi-
can party. Republicans were high
ly elated with his effort, not in
tended but really in their behalf
Mr.. Laps. d. McCord followed him
in: very short speech, making no
attempt to answer him in detail.

Brain Workers.

The complicated diseases arising from
an oYerworked brain or excessive ner-
vous excitement, should not be neg
lected, lest they end in insanity and a
premature grave. Heed such symptoms
as nervous debility, blotches, skin dis
eases, dizziness, nervousness, dimness of
sight, cough, indigestion. cAtarrh of the
bladder, and general dependency.
When thus afflicted, make haste to use

Death o. Willis worlev.

Hon. WILLIS WoRLEY died at his
home eight miles east of Pulaski
last Friday morning of typho-mala-
rial fever, aged 60 years. He had
been sick two or three weeks and
his death was not unexpected. Will
lis Morley was one of the irmest
men we ever knew, had higher
conception of honor and governed
himself more rigidly by the strict
est rules of Justice and right, and
was a man of most inhexible con
sistency. He represented Giles
county in the legislature in 1873,
we believe, and came into universe
esteem for his stern qualities of
character. He raised very large
family into whom he instilled the
noble traits that characterized his
life, and he left to the world an eX
ample of integrity and character
that viii live in the lives of many
who will profit in emulating his
deeds. We hold his death To be n
public calamity. And yet his liv-
ing has done the world good. He
was buried with Masonic honors
Saturday upon his own place.

At present it seems that there
will be nothing but success with all
the important crops raised in this
country. Cotton is the least prom
Using, yet by no means discourage
ing, while corn and all small grain,
potatoes, peas, all garden vegeta-
bles, and in fact everything we raise
here, has, so far, flourished as they
have not for many years past. How
thankful should our people be for
such bountiful blessings which 4
benifcent providence has seen fit to
bestoW upon them after a year of
drought and want. Is it not posi-
BILE that the drought was sent to
urge the people to more diligent eff
fort and cannot human intelligence,
feeble as it is, discern a blessing in
that privation? How wondrous and
unlike those of men are the ways of
Him who governs the universe!
Foresight belongs only to Him, and
when privations come we have but
to wait for the succeeding blessings,
for, however undeserving the recip-
tents, they are sure to follow-some-
times in a manner that we may re
alize their presence.
