it off. l am not going to crowd you
for it; take your own time" he re-
piled.
Shaw shook his head; eff can't
pay the interest, how do you expect
ever to get your thousand dollars ?"
ooh, you will see better times |!
Your boys will take hold and help
you. Tney are getting to be men
now" Warrenton said, as he gathered
the reins in his hand.
"Hold on a minute, Azarah,"
said Shaw ''you don't want to sell
your grey colt, do you ?"
"No, | reckon not. / shall keep
him till he is broken y and he start
ed up his horse.
''Just as l expected" muttered
Shaw, as he looked after him; ''he
knows | want him to match mine.
Those rich fellows are not very
obliging."
A year or two later, Mr.. Warren
ton built neat, convenient house
on the hill below the mills, and when
his oldest son was about to be mar
ried, at the age of twenty-four, he
gave him deed ofth mills, house, and
twenty-five acres Of land, being the
southern part of the Burnap farm.
When he handed him the deeds, he
said :
"You have been good, faithful
boy to your father. Do as well for
yourself as you have done by me,
and never, on any pretext, give a
mortgage on your property. You
can make fortune by the mills, and
you have land enough to occupy your
time. | shall probably never give
you anything more. There are eleven
more, you remember"
81 ask for nothing more 1t is
more than expected" his son re-
piled, with glistening eyes.
His bride elect was getting ready
to be married, according to the old
fashioned style, getting her bedding
and table linen spun and woven,
bleached and made up, ready for use.
Girls did not go empty-handed to
their husbands homes in those days !;
neither did they buy their outfit ready
made. They understood making fine
linen and for months Betsey Ray
burne had been employed in getting
ready. The wedding was to come
off on Thanksgiving day.
Betsey's father lived in Hartland,
some eight miles from Mr.. Warren
tons. He was a well.to.do farmer,
and felt that Betsey had made
lucky choice Of husband when she
accepted Williams offer Of marriage.
He said:
81 will give you a COW, Betsey, and
you may have all the flax and wool
you can spin, and l will pay for the
weaving, except your wedding dress
you must spin and weave that your
self"
"As if l would allow any one else
to touch it !" she laughingly answer
ed. "May l have quilting ?"
GA dozen if you want them /
will give you string of gold beads,
and six silver spoons, and some other
things. Now go to work, and see
what you can do /! Hannah will want
you out of the way, as l hear that
young Shaw has kind of notion of
stepping up 10 her !"
ooh, father, who said so ?" asked
Hannah, blushing.
"Birds of the air carry news, my
girl l suppose his father is well off !;
but | have an idea that the young
man is rather unsteady"
Hannah is not old enough to be
married." said Mrs. Reyburne quietly.
"And Hannah don't want to be
yeti She will never marry Jason
Shaw, either. He was drunk last
Fourth of July, and acted like fool"
said the girl, with flashing eyes.

THE City Authorities are going
to increase the number of fire plugs
in different parts of the city, extend
ing them into a larger area, 80 that
our excellent fire protection will be
gwen to many parts of the city that
are now left entirely to the mercy
of the flames, should a fire break
out. The fire protection now afford
ed by the plugs has been proven to
he first class and entirely efficient
so far as it extends, but there are
many unprotected points where
there are water mains, but no fire
plugs. The water-wOrks are very
popular now "by a large majority"
and we guess nobody will kick
against the city fathers increasing
the fire plugs. GAINESVILLE has as
finely organized and efficient vol
uniary fire company as any paid
company in the land and it ought
to be encouraged by Offording it
every facility possible for fighting
the fiery elements. We know our
citizens pay taxes more willingly
for no other purpose.

Flowers and Foliage.

Many citizens of GAINESVILLE must
still be ignorant of the beautiful ar
ray they can witness at the cost
only OF a pleasant walk to Ever
green Lodge, the well known horti-
cultural establishment maintained
by Mr.. Champlin at the residence
of Capt. Crusman. The protusion
of all the productions of vegetable
nature that can make home lovely
can only be realized by actual in
spection after constantsuccession
of beautiful flowers throughout the
spring and summer, the gardens
are now rich with the sunset hues
of magnificent array of autumn
flowers and foliage plants. In this
latter department the beauties are
too numerous for specification, there
are begonias with leaves large
enough to roof a cottage, and ferns
and palms, the REGULATIONS of
whose foliage are as delicate as
those of Mechlin lace, Marantas
with ribbed surface sculptured in
exquisite minuteness- but the spec
ialty at present surprising all is
the gorgeous array of Coleuses, that
singular genus whose leaves are
colored more splendidly than the
flowers of most other plants. In
this department there are not only
all the finest named varieties from
other floral establishments, but Mr..
Monroe has produced some seed
lings which surpass anything he
has been able to purchase from
abroad /; these have recently been
named, and any one examining
them will find them unsurpassed in
beauty and splendor; we will only
name one out of many which for
the lovely rose colour painted on its
leaves has been named Rhodophyl-
on; we believe it can challenge
the world for unique beauty. We
can only add that Mr.. Monroe's
skill as florist is equalled by the
courtesy with which he exhibits
his floral pets to visitors, especially
when they are of the fair sex.
Lose no time, ladies, but go and
see for yourselves before frost cuts
off the beauties so frail and tender.
We ought to have mentioned that
there is one class of flowers yet to
come which at our visit Qast Sun
day. were just preparing to emerge
from their buds, the Chrysanthe-
NUNS, they must by this time, be
in full bloom. d. F. w.

The Reint,on of the Liquor Traffic to Society

The Relation of the Liquor Traffic to Society.
At the Court House, Monday
night, Major w. ]. Sykes, of Co
lumbia, Tenn, will deliver an ad-
dress to our citizens on "The Rela-
ton of the Liquor Traffic to Society,
and the Right of Society to Protect
ITSELF"
There is no better informed man
in Tennessee, upon all subjects bear
ing directly upon the social and
business interests of its people, than
Maj. Sykes, and we bespeak for
him large attendance on Monday
night. He has delivered the above
named lecture in several towns and
cities in the State, and it is spoken
of as highly interesting and instruc-
tive by both the press and public.
His theme is fast becoming one OF
the leading questions of the day,
and all should keep themselves well
informed upon it in all its bearings.
The ladies are especially and cor
daily invited to be present and
they will hear a subject in which
they are especially interested, ably
discussed. His lecture is free, no
charge whatever. Let everybody
turn out to hear Maj. Sykes.

LAST week Col. John w. Wal
lace, living on Greenwood Avenue,
employed a negro boy named
Charley McCauley to work about
the house. On Saturday morning
he gave him a suit of clothes and a
pair of boots to brush and clean.
After waiting some time for the
boy to return to his room with the
articles, he sent after him, when it
was discovered that he had left the
boots and skipped out with the
clothes. Officers of the law were
notified and diligent search was
made for him to no purpose. Dur
ing the night, however, he was
caught up with by Ex-Sheriff
Moseley, on the farm of Mr.. Will
kinsOn, about three miles from
town, who arrested him and secured
the suit of clothes. He was brought
back to town and lodged in Jail.
The State will doubtless furnish the
young colored dandy with nice
zebra suit and free lodging for some
years.

MR.. GEORGE BURTON, the gal
liant young gentleman who was in
the drag from which Miss Ensley
jumped, at Nashville last week,
resulting in her death, and who
jumped out to go to her assistance
and was also fatally injured, died
on last Monday morning. This
runaway accident, resulting as it
did, in the untimely death of so
estimable a young lady and clever
young gentleman, is one of the sad
dest that has ever come within our
knowledge.

Resolutions BY the C. C. G,s.

AT a meeting of the G. G. Cps, at
their Armory, Monday night, the
following resolutions were unani-
mously adopted:
Resolved, That the thanks of the
company are enthusiastically given
our honorary members for their
liberal donations, and their magnif-
icent present of the helmets, and to
the merchants who literally per.
mitted their employees to attend
drills.
Resolved, That our recent trip TO
Hopkinsville was a most delightful
and agreeable one, for which we re-
turn our most sincere thanks to the
hospitable people of that beautiful
city, and especially to Capt. VIM.
E. Smith and his gallant company.

From the Rev. j. w. culIom.

The Stewards of my charge a
month ago appointed to meet to-day
in Murfreesboro, and finish up the
financial business of the year. 1t
turned out to be also the day of
Coles great show. 1t was remark
ed that the attendance of our off,
Gals was rather fuller than usual.
And as the train was delayed two
hours the street pageant did not
take place till we had leisurely
finished our work. 1T has been
thirty-five years since was in a
circus and in all that time have
only twice seen the elephant on
parade. I have seen only two
monkeys in my life, if we except
those who walk out of church dur
ing service, because as brother
Myers says their "ears.are too near
the top of their heads" Africa was
in town to-day, and only those ia
miliar with Murfreesboro can APP
preciate what that means. The
band came into town playing Nam
cy Lee, which made me think of a
parlor or too near seven mile ferry.
All, those pleasant memories of the
past, what various and entirely diff
ferent things often bring them up
freshly to mind.
Yesterday was the day for our
County Sunday-school Association,
and I left home early enough to
drive seventeen miles and reach
the place by 10 o'clock, but the
road was delightful, and six miles
an hour is not difficult. Five de
nominations were largely represen-
ted, the large church was packed,
and the basket-dinner spread on
long plank tables reminded one of
1910, when log cabins and coon
skins were the rallying words of
great gatherings. We had most
interesting meeting, and of the
dinner, more than twelve baskets
of fragments were gathered up.
In fact, there were ninety full bas-
kets subscribed and brought to the
grounds.
In week we start to Conference
and spend two days with Goodloe
on the route. / trust the powers
that be will appreciate the fact that
we have on hand fifty barrels of
corn, two tons of hay, thousand
bundles of oats, and years supply
of wheat, and send us back to con-
sumo it. Otherwise we must have
an auction. J. VIC.

DEATH of capt. W. W. yamant.

Capt. w. w. Valiant, one of the
best-known and most highly es-
teemed citizens of the city, died at
his home on Greenwood Avenue,
on Thurday noon last, in the fifty
third year of his age. The news of
his death was received by the com
munity with many expressions of
deep regret and sincere sorrow. He
was known to all and liked by
everybody. For the last twenty
years he had been a resident here,
and by a career made up of all those
graces of character that adorn the
life of a true gentleman and a
warm-hearted, generous friend, he
had won for himself the admiration,
the esteem and the lasting friend
ship of the whole people.
Capt. Valiant was born on the
eastern shore of Maryland, Somer-
set county, October %. 1929, and
moved to Tennessee in 1866, coming
we believe directly to this city,
where he engaged in the dry goods
business. He served in the late
war under Gen. Joseph e. Johns
ton, where he won his honorable
distinction for brave and chivalrous
conduct. Returning home he, for
some years after the war, engaged
in the boot and shoe business in this
city, but for the last seven or eight
years he had been employed as
salesman in the house of MeSSrS.
Bloch Bros, where his fine business
capacity, no less than his attentive
discharge of duty and lofty traits of
character, endered him to both pro-
prietors and associate statesmen.
He was gentleman of quiet, re-
firing nature, refined, cultivated,
and possessing a high education
and knowledge of men and things
that made his conversation and So
ciety delightful to those who enjoy
ed his intimate acquaintance.
He had been sick only few
weeks, the immediate cause of his
death being flux, aggravated by
erysipelas, from which he had been
an occasional sufferer for some
years.
He was q communicate of Trinity
Episcopal Church, and for some
years past had been member of
the church choir. His funeral was
preached on Friday afternoon at 8
o'clock at the church, and was large
ly attended. Services conductor by
Rev. P. A. Fits, and interment
had at Greenwood Cemetery.
He leaves wife and four daugh-
tiers, two of whom are married and
live in Maryland, to whom the
heartfelt sympathy of this cOmmu-
nifty is extended in their sad be-
reavement.

DTEiD-

WICKHAM-October 5, 1882, of diphtheria
at the residence of his father, on Golden
Horn Creek, this county, WILLIE, son o.
William and Eliza Wickham, aged years
and months.
In the death of this little one, Golden
Horn has lost one of its brightest jewels
but too pure to be reared In this world OF
woe. God sent an angel, who folded him in
his arms and carried him across the "dark
and stormy Jordon" to enter the "Great Be.
yond, +" and take up his abode in the Upright
land of bliss" and no purer soul ever en-
tered the "Great Unknown" How grand
and beautiful how holy and sacred is the
dying hour of those who haye never tasted
sin.
Besides q. host of devoted friends, he
leaves fond parents, two affectionate little
brothers. May each and all OF them find q
solace in the assurance that Willie rests in
peace.
When the Reaper took the flower
Which In the Spring was let,
He came to this home of ours,
And took our "household pet"
But an Angel met him at the door.
When he our home was leaving,
He took the jewel which he bore,
And carried him to Heaven.
Let us remember him then,
AS clothed In perennial youth,
In mansions not builded by men,

CAPT. Alex j. Porter, ono of the
recent nominees of the Davidson
county Readjusters for the LeEisiHt-
ure and the best Iuan on the ticket,
has declined to run on that ticket.
He is a firm believer in the recent
settlement and would not ran on a
platform opposed to it. Thus day
by day it grows more certain that
the settlement will be sustained.
