Marbuts.

The health of the community is
generally good with the exception
of whooping cough and measles,
both of which are now prevailing in
our midst, though in mild forms.
Farmers have as yet done moth
ing except little cleaning of fence
corners and resetting fences. A
great many have sowed oats; wheat
has been considerably injured, but
the recent snow was an advantage
to it.
Tom Marbutt has bought q
nice lot of cattle on which he ex-
poets to realize a handsome profit.
Mr.. McGahey, store keeper and
gauger at Warren's distillery has
gone on a visit to his family in
Marshall county.
On Saturday last Misses Kass
Alternately, Julia Foster and Anna
Booth made a flying visit to Mrs.
r. II. Booth, which they enjoyed
very much, judging from the many
peals Of laughter which rang from
their lips. Their ride must have
been very pleasant Notwithstanding
they we're all in an unusually small
trotting wagon.
We have two schools in our
community, one at T. NJ. Booths,
taught by Miss Kate Alternately,
the other at D. M. BIS, conducted by
Miss Ella Hall. Both are progress
ing very finely Indeed.

1t isn't necessary to say that
we have bad roads and are hav-
ing some very bad weather, for you
and your readers are AWAKE of that,
as well as myself.
We have a boss board maker
in our neighborhood who says that
he can make four boards at three
rives. If any any one can beat that
I would like to hear from him.
Perhaps some one would like to
know my arthur. .willi give his
name as J. S. Hayes.
Preaching at liberty to-day by
Rev. Mr.. Byrnes.
Little Leslie Hayes, of whom 1
spoke as having his foot badly cut,
l am glad to say, is rapidly improv
ing. So much so as to be enabled
to go to his grandmothers, Mrs. Ma
ry Reeds, few days ago.
Bill Hargrove, son of ]. R.
FL argrove, was badly but not seri-
ously hurt by team of mules run
ming away with him a few days ago.
He was hauling wood when his team
scared and ran, throwing him off.
His feet got entangled in the lines
but fortunately the team was stop
ped before any serious damage was
done.
One of our boys is very fond of
going up to the mill / wonder
what he is going so much for. He
never carries any grain and besides
it isn't right to rnill on Sunday.
notwithstanding the extreme
bad weather we are having, our
school at this place has increased
constantly numbering at this writ
ing forty pupils.
Although Sunday was quite a
gloomy day one of our young gal
ants seemed to take no note Of it,
as we saw him buggy driving with
his girl. And they seemed to look
as pleasing as if it had been q pretty
autumn day, and the sun shining
down from his blue vault above in
all his strength and glory. The
boys have had gay time dur
ing the snow { killing rabbits and
birds, / heard one man say that he
killed 15 rabbits in one day. Who
can beat that?
Your correspondent, in compa-
ny with T. w. Mcknight, has just
returned from q trip to Lincoln
county. Was the guest Of Aunt
Rhoda White of Cash Point.
Aunt Rhoda is known by many OF
your readers who no doubt will be
sorry to learn that she is in very
feeble health. 1t will no doubt be
interesting to one of the young Ia
dies of Pleasant Hollow TO know
that her widower sweetheart is still
alive and just IS lively as ever

Rocky Point.

Hog cholera has made its APP
pearance in our midst. Messrs.
Spofford and Gordon have lost some
very fine ones, also, William Sam
uel Garrison and others.
Wheat looks sickly. We think
tits badly damaged by the recent
freezes; seems like it is about all
killed out. Dat sowing will begin
as soon as the weather will permit,
and there viii be a good many sown
in this section. Fencing and wood
hauling seems to be the order Of
the day at present. Our farmers
arc getting in readiness for farm
ing,.so when the weather opens they
can go at it in earnest. Clover We
believe has stood the freezes very
well.

Mr.. w. S. William lost q very
Inc horse several days ago and

Pleasant Hollow.

We have had a very sudden
death in our neighborhood, Mr..
Larwood. He retired in usual
health at night, and lived only a
few minutes after waking in the
morning. Oh, why cannot all be
prepared for the great ch ange? for
we know not when the grim shadow
of death will come.
4 am sorry to state that Mrs.
Warren is very low with pneumo-
MIA and old age; she is now IN her
SSth year and her recovery is un-
certain.
Mr., shaddy is also low with
pneumonia.

Mad Doge.

A number of rabid dogs have
been reported in different parts OF
the county within the last few days.
Mr.. j. B. Short had hound, q ia
vorite fox dog, to go mad. 1t was
killed after it had bitten some of his
stock. A mad dog bit a fine young
horse belonging to Mr.. Giles A.
Reynolds. Mr.. Reynolds put his
hand on the wound and afterwards
discovered that he had q small
bruise on his thumb. He came
to town the next day very much ex-
ercised over the matter, but re-
turned home with the assurance of
our physicians that he was not ia
the least danger. We have heard of
other rabid dogs in the county. So
when the reader meets a Rover it
would be prudent to give him the
road or a load of buckshot.

Pnlaski's Sanitary conditio =

The following, which appeared in
Mondays American shows what
one of our physicians thinks Of
the sanitary condition of our city
and the efforts he is exerting to
improve it:
DR.. J. Berrien Lindsey, the Sec
rotary of the state board of health,
received the following letter from
DR.. G. A. Alternately, of Pulaski,
yesterday.
"Dear Doctor-After much eff
fort have at last gotten the may
or and aldermen of Pulaski and the
people in the notion to organize q
local board of health in this city.
I think it very probable that 1 will
be made the president of the board,
and l write requesting that you
give me such suggestions as
will be necessary to the orgsniza-
ton, regulation and government OF
said board, its duties, etc.
1.-The sanitary condition of ou1
town is very bad indeed, and 1 deem
it highly important and have
aroused the people to the fact to
organize board Of health and put
the town In the best sanitary condi
ton possible. The board, when or
eanized, wishes to act in concerr
with and under the supervision o
the state board of heslth.
"Hoping you viii give this mat
ter your prompt attention, and viii
make such suggestions as you thinl
will be beneficial to the local board
/ am, yours truly,

Stock Rraadara, Assooiation.

The Giles County Stock Breed
ers' Association met in Maj. Stacy's
Office last Saturday. The most i'm
portant item of business transacted
was to call a meeting of the mem
bers of the association, to be held
at the regular place of meeting on
the second Saturday in March for
the purpose of electing officers for
the ensuing term. Iti1 very impor-
tant that all the members should be
present on this occasion and full
attendance is earnestly desired.
This association, to which be-
long nearly all OF the leading stock
breeders in the county, has been
a very important factor in intro
ducing fine breeds of stock in Giles,
and its influence for good in this di-
rection might be rendered still more
powerful if the members would
take more interest in the meetings.
No other one thing, it occurs to US,
would be more conducive to the
general welfare of our people than
to place Giles in the position ma
ture destined her to occupy-at the
head Of the stock-producing coun-
ties of the southern states-and there
are no better means of accomplish
ing this desirable result than those
which this association propose to
employ. It's object is certainly
commendable one and is attainable
in q measure exactly proportioned
to the interest manifested and the
influence exerted by its members.
1t is the only regular organization
in the county with a similar object
and upon the success of its labors
depend, in very great degree, the
development Of the almost unparal-
leled stock raising resources of
Giles. Its members are live, enter
prising men who have at heart the
interests of all the stockbreeders of
Giles, as well as their own, and we
look to them for that advancement
which our county deserves by rea-
son of its natural advantages. They
will not disappoint us.

Wilsnn-Winnhastar

DR.. w. E. Wilson, one of Giles
county's favorite citizens and best
physicians, was married to Miss
Mallie Winchester, of Memphis, in
one of the Methodist churches in
that city, on last Tuesday, the 18th
inst. The bride will be remembered
as the charming young lady who,
while on a visit here about a year
age, was so generally and ardently
admired in the social circle in Pu-
laski. She was the guest of Mrs.
j. H. Lightfoot at the time-in
fact, was one of the bridesmaids at
her marriage-and it was during
her sojourn here that the attach
ments which led to the happy
event chat unites the life of one of
Middle Tennessee's staunchest and
best men with that of a popular
belle of our western metropolis.
DR.. Wilson left Saturday for
Memphis. After the marriage the
bride and groom were to go by river
to New Orleans, to spend a week or
so in that city. Their friends at
tending the exposition may visit
them at the St. Charles.

A BLESSING t. Women,

Mrs. Mollie Richardson has got
ten the agency for and is now can
wasting to supply our tired wives
with a sewing machine hand motor
that is a real blessing to humanity.
No one but the doctors know how
severely damaging to women is the
constant exercise upon the machine
treadle. 1t is killing women. This
attachment permits them to do
with the hand what they have been
doing with the feet, or little child
may turn it. 1t runs lightly and
smoothly. The doctors Of Pulas-
XII who have seen it are unanimous
In endorsing it as a blessing. Mrs.
Richardson will cali upon the la
dies, each one of whom will rscog-
nize its value at a glance. Ysu
husbands, don't get stingy now.
You have no right to make your
wife suffer longer on the tiresome,
health killing treadle, when relief
is at hand. Ladies, don't turn
MRS. Richardson off without trying
it, as you value your health.

A salesman in one of our leading
grocery houses snagged a hole in
the knee of his pants while waiting
on a lady customer the other day
or perhaps had worn the hole
there previously by too much kneel
ing. At any rate, the generous
young lady saw where = patch
ought to be and kindly proposed to
put it there if the young gentleman
would send the tattered garment to
her at her home. He stayed in bed
the next day and sent the pants o1t
tor repairs. Along towards night
a friend of his recognized the pants
on the person of q colored gentle
man who said that lady had given
them to him for making her a fire
to heat the iron to press the new
patch that was shining on the knee.
The poor painless man borrowed
money to buy q new pair.
