A Frightful Runaway.

4
Last Wednesday night Mr.. Will
Ezell drove up to Antoinette Hall in
DR.. Edmundson's carriage with his
wife and children, and stopping the
horse he threw the lines over the
spatterboard and jumped out to
assist Mrs. Ezell and the children
out. just then the horse started
and Mr.. Ezell ran around to try to
catch the bride, but missing it, the
wheel struck him and knocked him
down and ran over his arm and the
horse quickened his pace into a run
across the square toward Cannon's
corner and then turned up End
street in a dead run. Mrs. Ezell
was sitting with her face to the
rear. With remarkable presence of
mind, she hushed the cries of the
children and prepared them for the
expected crush as best she could,
and then reaching around she
caught the lines and bracipg her
self between the seats she spoke
gently to the horse and pulled up
on the lines with an unnatural
strength, finally succeeding in
checking his pace and turning him
across towards 1st street beyond
DR.. Whites residence, where she
stopped him. Assistance was
promptly at hand and all were res
cued without injury. 1t was a
frightful and dangerous ride and
but for the bravery and composure
Of Mrs. Ezell would have certainly
resulted in disaster. If the horse
had gotten to the bridge, as he was
tending, the accident would have
been certainly fatal. Mr. Eel was
was severely bruised but not Sc
riously hurt. His terror cannot be
imagined when he saw his wife and
children being borne madly and
swiftly to apparent destruction.
Mrs. Ezell stifed the cries of Otis
with her hand for fear it would add
to the horses fright. Her conduct
betrayed a woman of magnificent
courage. 1t was quite in order to
faint and scream, but instead we see
presence of mind that comprehended
the awful danger that threatened
her life and her children and calmly
weighed the surroundings. With
heroic resolution she sets her face
against her peril and meets it and
conquers it. Many tabled acts of
heroism that have found place in
immortal history dwindle in com
parison with this calm courage of
brave woman saving, unaided, the
lives of herself and children.

cullaoka's New Find.

Prof. w. r. Webb of Culleoka
Institute has struck a peculiar kind
of water in the institute yard. The
borers found water at $50 feet and
the next morning it was so feet
deep in the well. 1t was found to
have a bitter, brackish, peculiar
taste, being very strongly impreg-
mated with minerals OF some kind.
We have a bottle of it, sent by Mr..
II. b. King, ana it is very evident
at a teaspoonful taste that there
is very decided something in it
and a strong suggestion of some
thing else, to say nothing of various
other ingredients too numerous to
mention until analysed by the Van
derbilt professors. Culleoka is
wild over it and thinks she has
famous find that may rival some Of
the oldest waters in the world. We
never tasted water rs strongly
drugged by nature and there is
something extraordinary to DO told
by the analysis. Prof. Webb, we
learn, Els very hopeful that it may
prove n fortune TO him and his
town. We have q quart of it and
our friends are free TO taste Of it.

Wants to Buy a Farm.

The following letter to Mai. T.
NJ. n. Jones is like many others he
is continually receiving. 1t is from
Wisconsin, where it is said there is
a Tennessee fever raging.
wish to purchase farm for stock
raising near a town with school, CHI
mate anG society advantages. Are
northern men favorably received in
your section, and what have you to Of
fer in real estate to men who can invest
five to ten thousand dollars in homes
We answer briefly that Pulaski is
a railroad town, well built, with
half a dozen churches, the largest
female school in Tennessee and one
of the first male schools, society as
refined as the best in the world, it's
people orderly, law-abiding and
church-go Northern men are
received as kindly as southern men.
We know no difference. A man
own conduct fixes his place in soci-
ETY. and in public estimation without
regard to his nativity. There is alb
solutely no prescription, no hatred
of yankees, every body free to have
and express his own political opin-
ions without molestation, In short,
this section is as orderly and lawful
as Wisconsin and we should despise
to have to assert and reassert this
fact if it were not that we have
been so persistently misrepresented
even good men up north some
times believe the senseless tales told
about us. Giles county is one of
the richest in the state. We refer
him to the census returns in proof
of this. We raise everything COM
mon to this latitude to perfection
and we have splendid markets, be-
ing only so miles from Nashville.
The cattle and stock trade is on a
boom here. Kentucky's far famed
bluegrass regions are not superior
to this for stock raising. "Giles
county soil Will produce both cot
ton and bluegrass to perfection
fact that cannot be said of but
five other counties in the world
said an eminent man. What does
this mean? That its soil combines
all that is good for both these an
tipodal products and hence will
produce all intermediate products.
We have exactly the country, the
conditions and the farms to suit
this inquiry, and we will receive
good men gladly and guaran tee
that they shall be classed socially
exactly in proportion to their mer-
its without regard to nativity or
politics.

An Extraordinary Offer to Al
Wanting Employment.

We want live, energetic and capable
agents in every county in the United
States and Canada, to sell a patented
article of great merit, on its merits. An
article having large sale, paying over
100 per cent. profit, having no COMPETE
ton, and on which the agent is pro-
tected in the exclusive sale by deed
given for each and every county he may
secure from us. With all these advan-
tages to our agents, and the fact that it
is an article that can be sold to every
house owner, it might not be necessary
to make an extraordinary offer" to Sc
cure good agents at once, but we have
concluded to make it to show, not only
our confidence in the merits of our
invention, but in its stability by any
agent that will handle it with energy.
Our agents now at work are making
from $3.50 to 5000 month clear, snd
this fact makes it safe for US to make
our offer to all who are out of employ
ment, Any agent that will give our
business thirty days trial and fail to
clear at least 500 in this time, d6oye all
expenses, can return all goods unsold to
US and we will refund the money paid
for them. Any agent or general agent
who would like ten or more counties
and work them through sub-agents for
ninety days, andI fail to clear at least
$3.50, dbOUe all expenses, can return all
unsold and get their money back. No
other employer of agents ever dared to
make such offers, nor would we If we
did not know that we have agents now
making more than double the amounts
we guaranteed, and that but two sales a
day would give profit OF over 1925 q
month, and that one of our agents took
eighteen orders in one day. Our large
descriptive circulars explain our offer
fully, and these we wish to send to
every one out OF employment who will
send US three one cent stamps for post
age. Send at once and secure the
agency in time for the boom, and 90 to
work on the terms named in our extra
ordinary offer. We would like to have
the address of all the agents, sewing
machine solicitors and carpenters in the
country, and ask any reader of this
paper who reads this offer, to send us at
once the name and address of all such
4 they know. Address at once, as this
advertisement will not appear again
and you will lose the best chance ever
offered to those out of employment to
make money.

Art Levea.


This is a new feature in the com
mencement exercises at Martin
College, introduced this year by Mrs
Kennon, the accomplished and eff
cient art teacher. The first art levee
in the study hall, Friday evening OF
last week, was attended by large
number of our citizens. Every visi
tor who entered the hall could but
be attracted by the numerous paint
ings that decorated the walls.
The entertainment opened with q
beautiful song by the art class, and
music by the young ladies, both in
strumental and vocal, interpreted
the entire exercises. The excellent
essays by Misses Ella Alternately
and Mamie Jones, the poetic read
ing by Miss Myrtle Ezell, and the
recitation by Miss Robbie Kennon,
were highly entertaining and elici-
ted much applause and praise from
their auditors. When Prof. Jones
announced to the audience that
they had the liberty of the hall,
promenaders began to examine and
admire the pictures. There were
specimens of painting on canvass,
portraits, landscapes, ETC., and of
painting on satin, shells and china,
crayon drawings, ETC., wrought by
members of Mrs. Kennon's class.
Many of them exhibited the touch
of genius, and some of them were
excellent in execution, while all bore
evidence that the tutor had taken
great care in the training of her
pupils and that they had applied
themselves diligently to the charm
ing work, with marked success in
some instances and failure in none.
The entertainment was o splendid
success and so pronounced by all
present. There is no feature of the
exercises, perhaps,
that is calculated to give more en-
tire satisfaction than the art levee.
Col. Scion E. Rose was invited to
the rostrum by Prof. Jones, and in
his eloquent style congratulated the
young ladies upon their achieve
ments, Prof. Jones upon having in
his faculty so excellent an art
teacher, and Mrs. Kennon upon the
brilliant success of her entertain
ment.

PROT w q GDtbrie and his q,

Prot. w. c. Guthrie and his ac
eomplished wife left Pulaski Tues
day for Flshersyille, Va. They will
go direct to Petersburg, where Prof
Guthrie has hattering offer of a pro-
fessorship, which he will investigate
and determine upon. He has also
been elected to a.professorship in a
leading Mississippi college and has
not decided which to accept. There
is universal regret felt here at
their departure. Prof. Guthrie is not
only a learned man and a practiced
ticed teacher, but moral and social
excellencies shine with brilliancy
that illumines a whole community
and his departure is an absolute
loss. Mrs. Guthrie came to
be greatly admired by all who know
her also. There can be nothing
but success for such conspic-
uous worth and attachments as
make up the character Of this ex-
cellent gentleman,

Commencement Sermon.

Rev. Z. A. Parker of Gadsden
Ala, preached t he Martin College
commencement sermon at the NJ
E. church Sunday morning to q
full audience. He took for text
a passage of scripture that brought
out the beauties of that perfection
of biblical characters, the virtuous.
loving, constant, trusting Ruth.
He took up the several sublime at
tributes that find such distinctive
expression in the life of Ruth and
drew from them an elaboration of
beautiful thoughts, each pointed
with useful lesson, and impressed
them with a power of expression
and logic that kept the audience in
rapt attention for more than an
hour. The sermon was exceeding
ly practical, sensible and adaptable.
Mr.. Parker is a native of Giles
county, his father and family still
living on Weakley creek in this
county. He is a man of strong
thought and language, sincere and
practical, and with a forcible deliv-
cry that sends his ideas deep into
the minds of his audience. At
night he preached feeling and ex-
cellent sermon to the young men,
but it was interrupted and cut
short by a threatening thunder
cloud. There never appeared in
Pulaski person more opportunely
for such an occasion. His words
were burning with an earnestness
and power caught from lamen-
table circumstance in the past, and
his warnings fell like hot shot in
the minds of the young men. They
had better be needed.

Cottage School Exhibition,

Antoinette Hall was jammed last
Thursday evening to witness the
performances of Miss Sallie Shap-
ards pupils. The public has long
since learned that there is treat in
store at these annual entertainments
and they were not disappointed this
time. 1t exemplifies glaringly the
main fact sought to be impressed:
Children who can be so well-pre-
pared for a public exhibition are
certainly well taught in the school
room, for it is the same care and
genius that operates in both cases.
This has become famous and the
Cottage School is ranked in public
estimation as perfect. The pro-
gram embraced recitations, dia-
logues, songs, choruses, declama-
tions, ETC., and each little girl was
q groYn woman in the part she did,
and each little boy was a man in
his performances. There is les
son here to projectors and mana
gers of amateur entertainments: II
you keep the audience waiting be-
tween pieces unreasonably long
they will charge it up to the pro-
gram and in the end the judgment
may be against a performance that
would have been good if it had not
worn the audience down to a fragile
of impotence. There was no such
delay Thursday night and the au-
dience was given no opportunity to
get tired or lose interest, but they
witnessed a unique and pleasing
program quickly executed. It re-
Elected honor upon the little pupils,
credit upon the accomplished teach
er, and gave immense pleasure to
great throng of patrons and friends
and strangers.

A Fine Colt.

Mr.. A. j. McKimmin now has at
his place a brown three-year-old
stallion colt that is without doubt
the best colt ever owned in Giles
county, and perhaps in the state.
He is a great, big, long-legged colt,
and when full grown will be 164
hands high. His breeding cannot
be surpassed by any horse in the
world, being by Blackwood, jr., out
of Mambrino Queen, by Mamhrino
Patchen. His sire had five-year-
old record of 2;223, and his dam, if
we remember Alright, had a record
low in the thirties. He is as good
a colt as his sire was at the same
age, and will make trotter, sure.
Mr.. McKimmin likes him as well as
he did his sire at the same age.
Two of his mares have also foaled
colts recently. A mare by the great
Dictator foaled last week, as also
did Mary Maxwell, by Maxwell's
Columbus, sire of Little Mack 2:2S.
Both of the colts were by Monte
West, a son of Blackwood, jr., and a
mare by Allie West, we believe.

OBITUARY.

Mrs. MARY M. MCKNIGHT (nee BOAT
wRlGHT) was born in Williamson Co.
Tenn, February 4, 1916, and died Feb
ruary Is, 1888. She was married to
John Mcknight March 2, 184S. 1t was
her misfortune TO suffer more of the
Affections OF this life than usually fall to
the lot of woman. Her husband volun-
teered early in the war, where he did
faithful service It'll released by death
leaving her with four little children to
care for in the midst of other Affections.
Scarcely had the habiliments OF
mourning been laid aside before death
removed one of her children; but in the
midst of these bereavements she was q
silent, patient sufferer, not complaining
as others often do at the Affections OF
life. For a considerable time before
death she was q constant sufferer from
chronic pulmonary trouble, which failed
to yield to treatment. During all this
time the writer often visited her bed
side and talked with her about her
health and prospects, and not once did
she muTmur, and when her last
moments drew around her bedside her
family and friends to witness her death
and receive her dying advice, all were
surprised to see the quietu1e and salts
faction which she manifested and note
the calmness and possession of her mind
as she resigned her spirit to her Maker.
In her life was much to admire; her
patience under affiictlon, her resigna-
ton without murmuring, her hopeful
demeanor in embarrassment, all con-
spire to elevate Our estimation of her
moral worth. She was good wife, an
honor to her husband and her sex ; a
mother who did all in the power of her
strength to rear her children properly.
Her children and friends now have the
sweet recollection that she did her part
nobly in life, was honest, virtuous,
temperate, Industrious, full of good
works in life, died quietly, hopefully,
and while we mourn her departure, and
it grieYes US that we will never more
hear her voice or see her tender, moth
erly form nor receive her blessing on
earth, we rejoice to believe that her
body rests in security awaiting the res
direction, that her spirit is with God in
everlasting security. Yes, we thank
God for his word of precious promise
which freights our pathway with the
sweet and heavenly hope of glorious
union of earth's dear children as they
are gathering home. May her children
and friends honor her memory by devo-
ton to the moral traits which eharac-
terized the deceased in life shat at death
| il may be said of us rs of her that good
one is gone. >. III. MchNIGHf'

A Distinction Misnlaoed.

Thos. w. Cardwell of Prospect
received from the faculty of Giles
College a written certificate of dis
tinction for proficiency in algebra
and arithmetic, but it was not
awarded publicly, as the rest, upon
the night of the exhibition. The
reason of this failure was that the
certificate, which had already been
made out, had been misplaced and
could not be found at the time.
This public notice is due the young
man who deserved the distinction.

Hanged Himself.

Alex. Cox, colored, was found
dead in the woods near his home
in the 18th district Monday morn
ing. He had hanged himself
from a leaning tree. Soon after
breakfast, his wife being from home,
he walked out from the house bare
footed, assembled the tree which had
fallen and was leaning upon anoth-
er, tied one end of a rope about his
neck in a regular hangman's knot
and fastened the other end to the
body of the tree and then jumped
off. After he was cut down DR.
VIM. Bramlette examined him and
found that the neck was broken. -
The jury of inquest attributed the
suicide to insanity. Such rash acts
are very rare among the colOred
people. In fact, we do not remem-
Der ever to have heard before of q
negro killing himself.

First and Second streets ought to
have been graded to the sidewalks
and not heaped up in the middle.
There are places where a buggy
could be easily overturned. We do
not want a turnpike in town,
but wide, level streets, from curb to
curb, so that a halt-dozen buggies
may pass at once. The work is well
done as it is, but it ought to be
wider and take up the full street.
If the newly made embankments of
stone aud gravel were gradually
graded with gravel on each side it
would help them amazingly. By the
time they are worn off at the sides n
driver will have to carry a ballan-
cin0 pole.

Was He a Burglar?

Messrs. II. ArroWsmith and j. s..
Gum were asking themselves this
question Monday night about II
o'clock when they heard a man in
the enclosure at the rear of the cor
ner drug store. Their suspicious
were confirmed when they heard him
take ladder, place it at the back
window of DuBose 81 Ezell's tin
store and enter. One of them, in
CHASTITY apparel and we'll armed,
guarded the window while the 9th
er dressed and went to summon
more men and weapons to capture
the burglar. 1t was an exciting
moment and full of dread when Mr..
Ezell, supported by body guard of
men with ready guns and pistols,
marched down the long, dark store
expecting at every step to be met
by the daring thief with cook
ing stove on his shoulder. Imagine
their relief when they found the
man they were looking for lying in
the back room sound asleep. He
was one of the tinsmen who had
only gone into the shop to spend
the night. The army disbanded.
