Pleasant Valley.

Mr.. Porter Cameron, the wor-
thy principal of the school at Heb
ron, has SO large a number of pupils
that it has become necessary to call
in an assistant, and his wife is now
serving in that capacity; her sister,
Miss Adnie Alternately, will attend
to the housekeeping while she is
teaching. Miss Adnie is a univer-
sal favorite in. this community.
Misses Fannie and Matte Will
kerson attended the Sunday school
picnic at Old Lynnville last
Wednesday and they report it an
enjoyable occasion, ding
the rain. Miss Matte narrowly es-
capped serious accident as she, ac-
companied by Mr.. Geo. Witt, were
returning from the picnic. The
horse became frightened while de
scending a hill AID ran away, over
turning the buggy and throwing
them both out; fortunately, howev-
er, neither was badly hurt. The
buggy was considerably damaged.
-Messrs. Hargrove and O'Neill
ale now the road overseers and if
they attend to public matters as
well as they do to their individual
affairs, there will soon be decided
improvement in the condition of
the roads. They will begin work
very soon, we understand.
Dogs have been very destruc-
tive to sheep in this neighborhood
for several weeks. Mr.. John Rogers
was so unfortunate as to have a
number killed by them one night
last week.
There is a considerable feeling
of relief here since the adjournment
of court, especially among the ne
groes.
Our next and last quarterly
meeting for the conference year
will embrace the third Saturday
and Sunday in August and the
services will be protracted through
the ensuing week. The ladies of
the church desire that attention be
again called to their ice cream sup
per next Friday evening, Aug. 10.
Our church is much in need of re-
pairs and we trust they will meet
with success in their laudable eff
forts to assist in the work.
FELIX.

Last Friday morning three
more negroes were arrested on sus
piciou for the murder of Jane;
Trice at this place. A short time
since an attempt was also made to
arrest Bill Dobbins, who has up tc
this writing made his escape. We
will not attempt to give all the de
tails connected with this affair, but
will give the most important, which
are as follows: Last Friday morn
ing Benson Reed, Mollie Warren
and Alice Potter were arrested an6
brought to this place and kept here
until the passenger train went
south, at which time the prisoners
were carried to Elkmont for trial.
The trial proceeded slowly and after
a long and tedious examination il
closed Saturday evening without
convicting any of them. They were
then released and allowed to go
home in peace. But the evidence
OF q little negro boy, son of Alice
Potter, strongly implicated two 9th
ers whose names we Eill not men
ton Just here. Other arrests will
probably be made in short time.
The entire community is wild with
excitement and every possible step
will be taken TO catch up with the
entire clan.
The protracted meeting began
at Pettusville Sunday. Rev. Mr..
Worship of Giles preached an able
sermon Sunday. Rev. John Ste
venson of Giles is also in attend
ance and good meeting is antic-
ipated.
Miss Nettie Davis, after a visit
of several days to relatives near

Grand Inrv's Ranort.

To HIS HONOR, w. 5. McLEMoRF,
JUDGE.
We, the undersigned grand ju-
rors, duly elected, empaneled,
sworn and charged at the July term
of court, 1888, for the county of
Giles, state of Tennessee, to inquire
after the body of saiJi county, hav-
ing performed, as best we could,
with the time given us, beg leave to
submit the following report to your
consideration: We have visited
the different institutions of the
county and found them in excellent
condition both in a sanitary sense
and for the safe keeping of the in
mates, the inside of the Jail is clean,
neat and nice and the prisoners as
cheerful and happy rs the emhar
raised conditioner their circumstan-
ces could possibly admit We in
terrogated them in regrrd to Mr..
Butler 5 treatment and they said
they were well cared for and had
an ample sufiiciency of bread, meat
and milk furnished them to eat.
All of the prisoners now in have
been tried at the present term Of
the circuit court, consequently the
jail will be empty as soon as the
convicts can be sent to their various
places of sentence. The asylum
for the care and keeping of the poor
of the county is also in an excellent
condition in every respect, Mr.. 5.
B. Tucker, the present keeper of the
prison, reports a spendid growing
crop upon the premises. There is
in cultivation of corn and sorghum
50 acres; in garden vegetables q;
tobacco l Irish potatoes J. There
are of inmates males, whi'e, 8; fe-
males, 10; males, colored, 8; fe-
males, Z; children, 3; total 81.
There has been three deaths this
year, L young person and 3 old ones.
There are none sick at this time
but several very old and infrm.
The county has recently had built
upon the premises for the benefit OF
white persons a good substantial
brick house for the safe keeping of
those of unsound mind who from
time to time become inmates Of the
institution. We, the grand jurors,
suggest that a similar institutio n
be erected upon the premises for
the, colored people, and further sug-
gest that some steps be taken for a
more remote and secluded confine
ment Of the two sexes in the coun-
ty jail.
We have also been through the
county court clerks Office and ex-
amined the bonds of the various of
ficers and believe them to be to the
best of our knowledge secured by
good and solvent parties.

The Book of Deuteronomy.

A Mr.. Shapiro, of Jerusalem, a
book seller and dealer IN antiqui-
ties, has just deposited in the
British MuseuEi fifteen slips of
black sheepskin leather % which
are written, in characters similar to
those on the celebrated Moabite
stone, portions of Tie book of Deu-
teronomy differing materially from
the received version. The date OF
the slips is the ninth century before
Christ, or sixteen centuries older
than any authentic manuscript of
the old testament. Mr.. Shapiro
bought them from an Arab, and he
asks for them five million dollars
from the British Museum. If gen
uine, the interest and Importance
of the discovery cannot be over
rated, &pd so far as the variations
in the sacred 5e4G sre concerned,
there is promise Of one OF tie great
est controversies that scholars have
ever entered upon. The decalogue
furnishes Z good example for com
parison with the received version

The value of the poultry con
sumed in the United States annu-

Sc to each inhabitant. The value
of the eggs consumed is set at $240,-
100000, or $40, 600, 900 for poultry
and eggs together, or about $40 per
year each to inhabitant. The num-
Der of eggs consumed is estimated to
be 9,000,000,0o0, or $50 eggs to each
inhabitant, which would allow one
egg to each person every other

A few nights ago an Austin man
was awakened by a burglar open
ing shutter. The disturbed pro
prietor OF the house got out his pis-
tol, remarking to his wife, 81 am
not quite sure the pistol is loaded"
The burglar, however, overheard
the remark, and being a reader of
newspapers, and remembering how
many fatal accidents occur from
handling unloaded pistols, fed in
wild dismay, leaving his profes-
sional instruments behind him.

An effort to consolidate the cir
cult and chapcery court Of David
son county reminds Us that public
opinion is fast coming to the CITI=
zEN's plan. We propose that all the
courts be consolidated into one,
with a judge for each county ready
to try any criminal or cause as
soon as it is dOeketed, the judge to
be paid big days salary fsr each
day he is employed. This viii ia
cilitate justice immensely and it will
avoid Jail expenses and delays and
yexations, give men a better opin
ion Of law end n surer chance for
justice. Then abolish the county
court and place the business OF ting
county in the hands of three com
missioneTs. This will simplify eve
rything and get ria Of many things
that are now vexatious and ridden
lOus.

There is an epidemic of rascality
among army officers. 1t is usual
for officers to anticipate their pay.
by making out their pay accounts
and having them discounted by
brokers. Recently several of them
have been selling several duplicates.
The law should interpose and pro-
tect these men from their own
greed. They should be paid
promptly and then forbidden to sell
their futures. The government is
in some degree responsible for their
rascality in making it possible and
sometimes necessary for them to
raise money thus.
