MRS, MARY r, MAY.

The subject of this notice, only child
of Daniel and Mary a. Bringle, was
born in Giles CO., Tenn, Nov. 81, 1915.
Her mother died when she was but 8
years old. She protested faith in Christ
and united with the Christian church
Sept 1859, of which she continued a
worthy and consistent member until
she was called to her reward. She mar
ried Mr.. Geo. II. May, March LIST, 1866 I;
came to Texas with her father and hus-
band and settled at Trenton, Oct, 1882,
and died June 81, 1888. Although since
her residence in our midst her health
has not permitted her to mingle much
in society, she has ehdeared herself to
a large circle of friends by her social
qualities and her excellent private vir-
tues. She was intelligent and refined.
In the tender relations of daughter,
wife and mother, she had no superior (;
as friend, she was true and sincere;
as neighbor she was kind and Oblig-
ing, and in short q true woman in all
the relations of lie. She had suffered
much for several weeks, first with meas
les and then with rapid consumption,
which she bore with patience and resig-
nation, and was ready when the sum
mons came to bid adieu to all that was
QeaT 10 neT OH edTlH anu Cross Tic udIh
river. Her death was as gentle and
peaceful as her life had been pure and
good. She called her oldest daughter
to her bedside and said, 81 am going
to rest" then gave last loving glance
at her little ones, and then her bright
spirit, undimmmed by sin, unclouded by
sorrow, took its flight to the better
world, where the pure in heart shall see
God. She exemplified all the graces OF
a christian here on earth, and is but
translated to that higher state of exist
ence where all is sinless purity and gen.
tie love. She leaves a father, husband,
z children, one but few weeks old, and
many friends to mourn her loss. A
large company followed her remains to
their last earthly home in the cemetery
near Trenton and deeply sympathize
with the bereaved family.
Louisiana c., youngest daughter OF
Geo. IL. and Mary f. May, died at
Trenton of measles and cholera infan-
tum June 20, 1888, age years, months
and "a days. j. w. CoNEELLY.

Stookbrss5ers' Sale

By announcement elsewhere it is
seen that the next sale of the stock
breeders association will take place
Sept. 10 and the entries will close
Aug. l. Stock men have but a
short time to enter and it is hoped
they will respond a. once and make
the sale larger. 1t lies alone with
them whether these annual sales
shall be such a success as will
make them potent in advancing
stock interests. If the sales are
large and good stock is entered they
will attract good buyers, and the re-
suit will be to give an impetus to
stock-raising. No man in Giles
who makes stock feature and ex-
poets to realize any profit should
fail to exert himself in this behalf !
The way to do it is to enter some
good stock at once.

Brick Church.

About 4 p. m. Thursday last
this neighborhood was visited with
heavy rainfall accompanied by vivid
lightning and heavy thunder. A
son of Gus Lofts was driven in by
the threatning clouds; reaching the
house he hurriedIy hitched his mare
to tree near the door and went in
the house. In a few moments his
little sister remarked that she
smelled a match, when he went to
the door and found both mare and
colt dead. The lightning struck
the trunk of the tree about ten feet
from the base, only removing
small piece of bark. Strange to
say, the tree was lower than the
cabin, yet none of the family in the
house were shocked and there were
no visible signs of lightning except
the removal of the small piece of
bark. This is a great loss to Mr..
Lofts, since this marc and colt con-
stituted nine tenths of his worldly
goods, perhaps. He had been
The parsonage is about finished

will give an ice-cream supper on
Friday night next, to which every
body is cordially invited. Every
effort will be made to make the oc-
casion enjoyable to all, but especial
attention will be paid to widowers,
for the natural timidity of this
class is well known to the good
widows of this community, who will
exert themselves to the utmost to
make their visit pleasant and per-
haps profitable should they put in
an appearance.

Pleasant Valley.

Mrs. Parsons, one of the oldes
ladies in the community, died las
Monday night at the home of he
son, Mr.. John Parsons. She had
been a member of Pleasant Valley
church for quite a number of year:
and was truly good woman. She
will be greatly missed by her chill
dren and by the community. Hel
daughter, Mrs. Coggins, arrived
here from Texas on Tuesday, and
will spend the summer with rela-
tives here.
Miss Fannie Wilkerson has been
on visit of several weeks to rela-
tives and friends in Culleoka and
vicinity. On her return about a
week ago, Mrs. Wilkerson went to
visit her old home in Maury. She
returned last Saturday. Mrs. r. A.
Parker has also returned from a
visit to Athens.
Mr.. Gilbert, Vanderbilt theo-
logue, has been in the neighbor-
hood for several days, and preached
quite an interesting sermon here

Quite a pleasant evening was
enjoyed at the residence of Capt. j.

DR.. w. E. Wilson left Tuesday
for San Antonio, Texas, prospect
ing for a location. He was accom-
panied by Mrs. F. @. Buford, Mrs.
Brady and Mr. Buford's mother.
They will probably remain at San
Antonio. Mrs. Buford is in bad
health and she goes with the hope
that change of climate may restore
her. We learn that if the change
promises permanent benefit, Mr.. Blu
ford will move out there. 1t is a
matter of intense regret to all of us
that DIR. Wilson has seen proper to
move from us. There are few bet
ter men in any country. And it
will be equally as serious loss to
this country if Mr.. Buford should
be induced to leave US. He is one
of our most progressive stock men,
and being q map of the highest or
der of INTELLECT graduate of
Washington-Lee university-he has
gone about the business in an en-
way and has grated upon
the system in Giles some Of the
most advanced ideas. We hope he
may not be called upon to go to
Texas. We are asked to state that
DR.. Wilson's books will be left, one
with H. NJ. Grigsby at Pulaski, and
the other with Brown & Buford at
Buford's where those who owe him
may settle. After q month or two
both books will be handed to Off

from such a source, and especially
when it is said that our printing
beats that done by a big concern in
Cincinnati. The sensible article in
the News was written to show the
reciprocal advantage of patronizing

west in offering seasons of enjoy
ment to visitors who are attracted
within her gates.
OF these seasons of festival the
expositions of industry and art
that have been held in Cincinnati
since 1870 have each year presented
greater and more varied attractions.
Last year the exposition was a sur
prising success, but judging from
the extensive and far reaching
preparations already completed by
the energetic board of commission
ers, the exposition of 1888 will be
the most remarkable and interest
ing exhibition held in this country
since the centennial.
In that it will keep pace with all
the inventions since the exposi-
ton of 1876, it will be far in adj
vance of even that worlds fair, as
the promised displays of electric
railroad fully predict. To novel
ties in every department and large
but carefully selected exhibits there
has been kept in mind by the
board of commissioners the desire
to make of this exposition of 1883
one of symmetrical completeness, as
well as exceptional brilliancy.
