and bought 25 young mules last
week.
e. D. Hanf and wife and little
babe of Hurricane are visiting at j
j. Martins and other relatives and
are accompanied by Miss Virgie
Shannon.
Miss Bette Higdon went to
Columbia to attend the Athen@um.
She is a young lady of rare talent
and we venture the prediction that
she will stand high in the list in that
institution.
Steam mills are doing as they
should have always done-grinding
for one eighth, the same as water
mills. John Evans announces that
he will grind Wednesdays and Satur-
days for the eighth.
The quarterly meeting found
the roads so bad and creeks so high
that the attendance was not what
we should desire to hear the elo-
quent presiding elder Sunday. He
preached a very learned and elo-
quent discourse on the divinity of
Christ.
L. w. Reynolds and NJ. G..
Fitzpatrick with their ladies re-
turned from Florida last week. 1t
was very warm and exceedingly dry
while they were in Florida. They
enjoyed themselves. Our Giles
county folks there are not yet ac-
climated. Some are still chilling
i hear of numbers of horses dy-
ing in the edge of Maury with Pink
Eye. Tom. Martin and Edward
Hickman, 1 learn, each lost three
last week. Walter Johnston lost a
valuable mare with it Saturday. 1t
seems the tongue swells enormously
and is entirely paralyzed and no
remedy so far has proved of any
avail.
Geo. W. West, who was reared
and was for a number of years con-
stable and has many friends here,
leaves here on his way to. Texas
Saturday. He moved to Alabama a
few years ago and got in bad health,
but is much better now. He goes
to Texas for his health. Hope it
will cure him. He has a nice wife
and three children.
1t seems we are attracting the
attention of the peripatetic nostrum
vendors. Scarcely a Saturday passes
b,,+ what O,,y Otrao+ hoe +boro rinor
ing their vulgar songs and telling
their low yarns to try to yank some
poor country hunk out of a few
cents for some panacea for all his
imaginary ills. Saturday brought
us a corn medicine man.
The grocery store of Dansbee
was broken into last Wednesday
night. A number of sacks of flour
and some bacon and many small
articles were taken. The window
was priced open. But little clue to
the rogue. Locks and bolts were
all being overhauled and strength
ened Thursday. People anticipate
trouble from pilfering, there are so
many without food or visible sup
port.
Miss Mary Cannon has an
interesting relic left by her brother,
Simeon Cannon, with her twenty
one years ago. He sewed up in a
purse four silver half dollars given
him by his mother and it has never
been opened. He Joined the army
at Holly Springs, was at Vicksburg,
Port Hudson and at Raymond, where
he was lost and has never been heard
of since. His disappearance is still
a source of grief to the family and
this relic is treasured fondly.
Our friend Carson p. Reed has
a new voter this week at his house.
1t came too late to do Carson any
good for trustee this year, but will
De alright for the fray in 1908. 1
I'm inclined to wonder if the 1908 |
will bother the little innocent mind |

at his house. And feel
ike congratulating the Hancock
men on another addition to the
celebrated Hancock Club" This
s a son of my very special friend
Ieyburn Hancock. A friend who
s a close observer, one of those who
believes in moon and stars and the
ike, says all the births he has heard
# this year are males. Glad Herod
s dead.
Our town is startled by the
pening of. another new store this
7eek. Tie Smith Bros. from Town
)reek, Ala, opened next door to
)ansbee's. They have the character
f gentlemen and as such we extend
D them a hearty welcome and we
eel gratified if all our merchants do
n immense business, Merchants {
ontinue to move in when all the
Id ones think the place is full, and !
ct the last ones do good business
nd old ones say business continues
God. 1t proves that Lynnville is
Dlendid business location. Lynn
lie we think is a good place to live,
nd certainly it would be a good
ACE to die. At a sale Saturday
God coffins sold at five for 81.
