Live Stock Sale

The annual sale of the Giles
County Stock Breeders Association
is formal Y announced for July goth,
entries to close June l. Recent
events in Tennessee have given a
fresh impetus to stock interests and
the unpl ecedented success in sales
is a better argument than can be
made in words. Giles county is
said TO be one Of less than a half
dozen counties in the world that
will produce all the grains. the
grasses and cotton. What posi-
bilities are open to us under such
conditions. Giles county could be
made one Of the very foremost stock
growing counties in the world
These sales are the instruments
with which to effect this result, or
approximate it, and every man in
Giles whose interest is permanent
is directly concerned in making
these sales successes. Do not fail
to have your stock entered at once,
and exert yourselves to induce
others to patronize it, thus building
up the enterprise and contributing
to the great end in view, tO-wit: the
revolution Of farm industries, or a
change from cotton to grasses and
stock. See the announcement else
where.

There never was n season before
done and as few caught. The fish
are keeping up with the march of
smartness that character the
times. They seem to take in the
situation, in preference to the bait,
and catch the point before the point
catches them. In one particular
they even excel us who are doomed
forever to walk up and down the
face of the earth: They can con
troll their appetites. An old four
pound trout, with sturdy mien and
a legislator S gravity, will lazily rub
around q luscious, living, weighing
minnow so temptingly offered him,
as if he had just gotten up from a
Delmonicon feast, surfeited and in
pain from a stomach o'erloaded
with dainties, when the fact is he
hasn't had a good square minnOw
for a week. Why? He wants to
impress a lesson of abnegation and
abstinence upon the wretch on
the bank who will wear out seven
dollars worth of pants bottom for
fifteen cents worth Of fish. And all
the time the old game piscatite's
stomach is crying out for sympa-
thy and forage. And finally. look
lug up wisely, with a comical wink
at the lone disciple of patience and
bidding who sits on a root, he
swashes his tail TO the current and
darts off and under a rock to won
der at his own ability TO contain his
appetite without containing that
minnow- Either this, or the boys
don't spit correctly.

of life insurance, etc, than in other
things In this particular, Ameri-
ca, as usual, has taken the lead of
all the nations of earth. In this
land of the free and the brave mu-
tual associations have about sup
planted the old swindles called life
insurance companies. Now when a
man has exhausted all his energies
trying to make a living for his help
less family and failed, he knows
that he can pass in his checks and
have them cashed by his "bereaved
wife for the benefit of her next
husband. Under such circumstan-
ces how rapturous it must be to
die! Again, an impeachment has
been removed that has hitherto hin
dered many worthy young people
from entering the state of matrimo-
ny-that state so blessed and or

reached that point where contract
