The Weekly Budget of News from a
Standard Reporter.

Sheriff Maxwell was circulating
around up here the latter part of last
week. He was "making ready a
people prepared" for the coming
court.
Rev. G. p. Moffitt preached at He
bron on last Sabbath. He will re-
sumo his appointments at this place
embracing the fourth Sunday and
Saturday preceding in each month.
w. ID. Hughes was up from his
Riverside farm last Sunday. He did
not make known his business, but
needing a house-keeper as he does it
was hardly necessary.
John Woodlee, accompanied by
his grandmother, is over from the
Valley visiting friends and relatives.
Miss Etter Hayes, daughter Of H.
L. Hayes, has been quite sick, but is
reported some better at this writing.
Her many friends sympathize and
hope her speedy and permanent
restoration to health.
P. A. eagle has also been very sick,
but is convelescent. For fever he is
decidedly in favor of the "water-
cure" Says get in tub and have
some one to continue pouring cold
water on, and the fever will subside.
His confidence in this mode of treat
ment is founded upon experience.
Prof. A. j. Clendenen, who has in
charge the school at Smyrna, is max
ing for himself a reputation as an en-
ergetic and progressive teacher.
Joe Bouldin, Frank Hill, and
others have gone on the mountain
this week "to take the cattle to pas
ture." They took their guns, but of
course they would not kill deer or
turkey as the hunting season for such
game is over, but should bruin come
in their way he may expect rough
treatment.
Miss Jessie Martin will goto Sparta
this week to visit her sister, Mrs. j..
C. Norwood, who is dangerously ill
at that place.
Geo. Wagner has lost two days in
rejoicing because that newcomer"
at his house is such fine one. 1t is
strange that some folks should think
50 of a mule.
Maj. E. M. Martin has been selling
som emules at $3.50 apiece. He says
he does not raise any other kind.
Subscription-papers are being cir
culated with view of raising funds
enough to rebuild the church house
at the Sulphur Spring graveyard. L
do not know what success the agents
are having in securing subscriptions.
The effort is a commendable one, and
one that should be, and can be made
a success. Although taking care of
public cemeteries cannot benefit the
dead, yet it eXerts a moralizing and
humanizing influence upon the liv-
ing. Then cast in your mites and let
the work proceed.
Geo. Parks says he has already
purchased his spring goods and that
they are nearly all gone, hence my
mistake in suppOsing that he had not
purchased.
The pangs arising from some kinds
of disappointment are too deep and
emotional for utterance, they find ex-
preston only in the corrugated brow,
the falling tear, and the heaving
breast. Frank, "the store-keeper, )"
got the consent of his mind more
than two years ago, and formed a
resolution to turn out his mustasche.
And now after years of waiting and
hoping and anxious expectation he
finds that the provoking things
"won't turn out worth a cent" Job,
thy patience dwindleth into insight
ficance in comparison with that exer-
cised by Frank. But alas! disap-
pointmenthaving at last routed pa
tience, now "holds the fort" and
Franks health is fast failing. To the
rescue, we medicine men!
