The past week Miss Annie

there, including Miss Clara Boden-
hamer, teacher of mathematics in
Martin College, Mr.. 10 Sutton Of
West Tennessee, Tom Horn of
Weakly, Will Bodenhamer Of Bo-
denham, and many other old stu
dents. Miss Shelly Maxwell with
Mr.. G. c. Thomas Of Pulaski lent
her charms TO the occasion. Ihese
reunions do much to keep the gold
en- chain of friendship bright.

friends the past week. lie stopped
of on his way to Franklin.

His son Lonnie Fry is living very

Mr.. and Mrs. Terry Dickerson
gave their young friends and few
neighbors party Wednesday even
ing. Mr.. and Mrs. Dickerson know
well how to entertain royalty and
they fairly outdone themselves.

Mrs. Lou Goodwin, who is a queen
ly entertainer. The festal board
was princely in all its appointments
par eScelLence-a string of adjec-
tIXes a yard long in the superlative
degree would not over tell the
quantity and quality of the good
things provided for the guests by
the host and hostess. Lynnville
| Bufords and Pulaski sent their
choicest beauty and chlvalry to
grace the occasion.
There was a double wedding
st Mr.. English Boatwright's last

Lizzie Shields are visiting their
sister Miss Hanserd at Elkmont
this week.
Mr.. Brown Tate and lady have
gone to their home at Carter e
creek. We know that the good
wishes of gll this community GO
with them.
This community has been
deeply agitated by man from Ala
bsna opening a saloon here about
ten days ago, in defiance of the
four mile law or the corporated
school. Some weakness of one or
both are claimed. The proprietor
was arrested and gave bond and the
case comes up for trial next Thurs
day. TRe house is closed awaiting
action of'the court. Now what I
desire to say is that we SHOULD not
allow ourselves to champion either
side of this question to sn extent
that will ALLEVIATE that friendship
and good feeling that is 80 necess&-
ry to the existence and Well-being
Of our community. Let every man
DO what he oonScientinusly knows
to be his duty-but with a kind
spirit.
Mr.. and. Mrs James Bradley and

Rev. Mr.. Graves came down
Monday to take charge Of the
churches at Bufords and Lynnville.
He is = preacher of much ability

fuse some of the ancient fire into
those churches that have been with
out regular pastors for so long that
they are dormant. He will make
his home with Mr., Terry Dickerson
till he can get home at Iynnville
Il somewhere read that the fu-
ture girl would marry promptly at
