LYNNVILLE,

Mrs. P. Shapard of Columbia
visited her niece Mrs. Tate last
week.
-Esq'r j. F. Wilson has a pros
porous school at Elk Ridge of &c
students, 40 of whom are boys.
Some of our prophets say it
rained the first Dog Day and will
rain every day for 40 days. 1 don't
think it has missed for the past 90.
Neil S. Owen and wife
and child of Nashville are Wis
iting his sister Mrs. G. S. Tate for
a few weeks. Mr.. Owen cut three
of his fingers in some kind of ma
chinery and is out on furlough from
his business.
Master Willie Latta of Colum-
bia was visiting here this week.
He is messenger boy for the tele-
graph company, and though lame
and on crutch he is active as
kangaroo and will one day make a
fine business man.
Mrs. Capt. j. L. Cline started
for Chicago, Michigan and Iowa
last Tuesday to visit the Messrs.
Abbey, her father and three broth
ers, whom we learn are prosperous
business men, Mrs. G.. carried her
two younger children and will
spend two months among the north
ern lakes.
Charles Pepper accompanied
his aunt, Mrs. DR.. Pepper, to AS
pen Hill on a ten days visit and has
Just returned. Charles is loud in
praise of the beauty and accom-
plishments of the ladies he met
there and if the railroad will grant
special rates our young men may do
some counting down there.
Rev. Joe Tyler of Shelly Iron
Works, Ala, is on his summer va
cation and of course he spends it
here with old friends and school
mates. He preached for our people
Sunday night in the Presbyterian
church. He is a Jealous and elo-
quent advocate of the Masters
cause, and is exceedingly popular
with our people,
On Friday evening lightning
struck the store house of Smith
Bros. 1t tore up the cornice and
ran down the corner post and
skipped off on to Dansbee's store,
tearing off the ceiling and passing
through the floor to the ground.
Several persons were in each store
who were all shocked but none Sc
riously. Neither house was fired;
tremendous rain followed.
The report in the CITIzEN-Ex-
ira was gotten out before written
report could be had and several err
rors occurred. Carson Reed who
got 131-within 4 of the highest
was not reported. A correct report
is furnished this week. The Lynn
vile report happened to be less cor
rect than any of them. The excite
ment over the leading men was so
intense that it was difficult to get
correct figures for those behind.
We with all good men depre-
cate the necessity of the demorali-
cation incident to our election sys-
TEN. Intelligent men have to get
down and court those who have not
mind to make choice between good
and evil. Lynnville feels 1attered
that the county gave our favorite,
J. w. Braden, such a handsome
compliment. / have heard it re
marked that the county never had
the officers more evenly divided
over the county.
The music room for the Acade-
my, under construction by Messrs.
Dickerson and McMahan, will soon
be completed and the music de
partment of the school will open
with increased facilities and we
learn will be well patronized. Prof
Campbell will open Monday with
one hundred students. Young
Cartwright of Decatur, Ala, was
here last week and secured board
We learn that the boarding depart
ment promises to be full.
