Old Land Marks.


In the absence OF our regular
matter this week from "Adep. U.
Tey'' we publish. the following inter
esting reminiscence:
Mrs. Annie Lindsay, of Giles
county, the only surviving child of
Col Joseph Brown, who was well
known to all the early settlers of
Maury county, spent a few. days
last week with Mrs. L ID. Myers,
whose mother was her first cousin.
She gave many items in reference to
the early settlement of the county,
but we will give only a few. Her
father settled three miles south of
Columbia, on Lytle's creek, imme
diately after the Indian title was
distinguished. He was the first
white settler south of Duck river.
The first prayer meeting ever held
in the county was held by him, and
by n man and his wife, named Cope
land, in their tent, in the cane
Col Brown took man who lived
with him over to Copeland's camp,
and there they had singing and
prayer, and this, rs he used to say,
was the first prayer meeting in Mau
nv county. The first court was held
in the upper story of his house. 1t
was q double log house made OF ce
dar, with two stories, and she said
it took all the men in Maury and
Williamson to raise it. The court
house was afterwards built in his
yard, and was subsequently con
verified into stable, and it is said
some Of the logs are now in a house
on DIR. Jim Atkins place, which is a
part of the same tract. His broth
er-in-law, Col Joseph B. Porter,
who was the first clerk in the coun-
ty, did not come in year or two
after Col. Brown came. Joe Coe,
| the father of Levin II. Coe, of Mem
phis, who became so distinguished
as a lawyer and politician, was the
man who built the first brick Jail
and brick court house ever built in
Maury county. Many will remem-
Der the old jail and the old yellow
court house. Col Brown was one
of the commissioners to locate the
town, and he said he could have
had it located near his house and
on his land, three miles out on the
old Pulaski road, but he thought
the present location, and on a high,
! healthy situation, was the most
suitable, and time has shown the
wisdom of his choice. The first
brick house built south of Duck
river was built by Col. Jos. B. Por-
ter, and is the one owned and Occu-
pied by Mrs. Francis.
She further states that Moriah
Church in her neighborhood, in
Giles county, was the second Cum
berland Presbyterian Church in the
state, and that the land on which it
was built was donated by old man
Reece Porter, the father Of Jos, B.,
William and James Porter, and by
two of his sons, David and John:
Mrs. Lindsay left this county in
1885, and has ever since been living
in Giles.
Her recollecEions of the early
events in Maury county is very
vivid, and it is treat to talk with
her on this subject.
Mrs. Z. Il. Caruthers, who died
year before last, was the last Of the
old Porters living in this state, and
Mrs. Lindsay is now the last of the
Browns Of that pioneer family
Columbia Herald.

Old Advice Reviewed.

Nearly every paper in the United
States has at times advised boys to
remain on the farm, and not to
trust the hayward ways of fortune
arising from the diversified life of
city. In part this advice is very
good. If young man expects to
come to town and have an easy
time, he simply takes the wrong

"Pve admired an unknown Woman

other day; "she was stylish, we'll

heard her speak to-day and the
charm vanished "What did she

words. A companion in a store

is given by using Browns
IRON BITTERs. In the
Winter it strengthens and
warns the system; in the
Spring it enriches the blood
and conquers disease; in the
Summer it gives tone to the
nerves and digestive organs;
in the Fall it enables the
system to stand the shock
Of sudden changes.
In no way can disease be
so surely prevented as by
keeping the system in per-
feet condition. Browns

Quick and prompt transportation
is doing wonders for the south. In
one day, last week, thirty -four
heavily laden cars of Florida and
Georgia grown fruits reached Sa-
vannah, and within two or tn ee
hours afterward had been unloaded
and the contents transferred to the
steamer which sailed for New York
the same afternoon.

This is especially true of a
family medicine, and it is posi-
tive proof thahthe remedy initiated
is of the highest value.
AS soon as it had been tested
and proved by the whole world
that HOP Bitters was the purest,
best and most valuable family
medicine on earth, many imita-
lions sprung up and began to steal
the notices in which the press and
people of the country had express
ed the merits of II. B., and in
every way trying to induce suffer
ing invalids to use their stuff in
stead, expecting to make money
on the credit and good name of
FL. 3.
Many others started nostrums
put up in similar style to III. B.,
with Variously cunningly devised
names in which the word CHOP"
or Hops" were used in a way to
induce people to believe they were
the same as Hop Bitters. All
such pretended remedies or cures,
no matter what their style or name
is, and especially those with the
word CHOP" or Chops" in their
name or in any way connected
with them or their name, are imi-
tations or counterfeits.
Beware of them. Touch none
of them, but: Use nothing but
genuine HOP Bitters, with bunch
or cluster Of green Hops on the
white label. Trust nothing else.
Druggists and dealers are warned
against dealing in limitations or
counterfeits. C9

Not a chicken is to be found on
Landreth's seed farm. The tenants
are forbidden the privilege Of pos
sessing a hen. But guineas in
large numbers are allowed access to
all the fields, and are considered
the best insectiverous fowl known.
Then, too, they are not destructive
to the growing crops.

Telephone Items.

As promised last week, telephone con-
nections with Cleveland and Norwalk
were completed last Saturday. This gives
us over 60 towns and stations in the North
and West part of the State, and over 40 in
the Southeast portion of Michigan. Cleve-
land opens to communication large num-
Der of towns in the eastern part OF the
State. We find less difficulty in speaking
through the long lines than we had antic-
ipated, Cleveland, Toledo and even Detroit
are heard quite satisfactorily. Our great
trouble is 10 find the wire unoccupied, one
line having TO serve for all the towns west
of Cleveland. Judging from the demand
made upon the office so far, we think the
company could afford to give another line
from Oberlin to Cleveland.
An instrument was put in the Office Of IL.

other lines run and awaiting instruments.

ceeds all expectation. Quite number are

necessary for him to spend minute or two

difficulty will soon be solved. For some
inscrutable reason, the questions "Who is
it,' or "Who is talking" or as this num-
ber 90" ale hardly ever understood, and
we have oflen heard them repeated half
dozen times before an answer was receiv-
ed. The difficulties experienced in the
use of the telephones are more often from
inexpe'ience, lack OF tact or judgement,
than any fault in the working of the in
