while a breeding silence fills my
room, being through the cares of the
day, 1 will endeavor to give you a
few local items from our quiet little
village. AS you have faithful, en-
bright, witty and entertain
ing correspondent from New Lynn
vile l will not infict upon your
readers letter every week nor
shall 1 gather items out of the
bounds of this immediate neigh
bOrhood, for fear that Lynn
will get after me with a sharp stick
like he did after K. n. Pepper, and
1, like Tableleg, will be gobbling on
the other side of the new Jeruselam
that l had not been Bur
rowed to death.
Some wheat has been threshed:
the yield will be light, many not
their seed. The average of
oats Is hardly so large as usual, but
there is a full average crop of corn.
The acreage is perhaps ten per cent.
in excess of last years crop, and if
the remainder of the season proves
as favorable as the past, the crop
will be unusually heavy. The clio
yer crop which has been cut and saw
ed is in an excellent condition.
Meadows are yielding an abund-
ance of hay. Cotton is late. Our
fruit, potatoes and garden products
are fine; our watermelon crop is
large one and is looking well.
Praise God for his goodness.
Prof. Willis Tandy, with his
two little children, has just return
ed from Client, KY, where he has
been spending vacation among his
many friends and relatives. About
seventy-fve or eighty of his old pu-
pills of Client College, where he
taught school several years, met
him at the depot with extended
hands, light hearts and words Of
welcome. A carriage was waiting,
and after the greeting was over he
drove to the college followed by his
pupils and many others. After do
ing ample justice to a right royal
feast that was awaiting him, he was
invited into the study hall where he
delivered them a speech-one that
touched the hearts OF all the audi
enoe.
Elder Larimore of Florence,
Ala, closed his meeting at the
Christian church last Tuesday at
IL 80 a. m. He gave to the congre
cations that gathered to hear him
from far and near good and practical
sermons, which were appreciated
not only by the people of his own
denomination but by members of
other churches who were present.
There were IA confessions and sew
eral other additions by letters. Eve
ry sermon in the series was a strong
one, but the longer the meeting
lasted the greater seemed Elder Lar
imore's power to present the un-
searchable riches of Christ. There
was large and increasing attend
ance during the whole time.
-Chas. T. Reid, our merchant,
whiles away many dull days
now, but says if everything is still
1attering this fall that he will have
some one to go to the lick with
him of evenings to keep his spirits
cheerful. He has just returned
from a protracted visit to rela-
tives and friends in Alabama.
Chas. Smith did Mr.. Reds smil-
ing at the fair ones during his alb

There was a great hustle in
our town several nights since.
During Prof. Tandy's absence in
Kentucky, burglars tried to enter
Mrs. Tandy's house. Thos. J.
Ashford and William Wray were
staying with her, and while Ashford
was sleeping quietly, Wray stood on
guard. About l o'clock he beard
noise at the back door. He slipped
around and shot at them several
times. They shot at Will also and
one ball passed through his hat brim
and Will says came near bursting
up his Uranium. Ashford was
standing guard the next time.

ing disturbed him. Two o'clock
rolled around and a big yellow up
headed dog inferred the yard, Ash
ford thought he would number him
with the things that were. He fir
ed at it several times in quick sue
cession, killing it on the spot. The
all rushed in, many of
them forgetting to put on their
pants, and when they got back
home their wives liked to have beat
them to death with the broom stick
because they disgraced the wash
woman. Then they put out the re-
port that the boys were SURVIVING.
james Porter, architect and
builder of Hon. j. K. e. Blackburn's
elegant two story frame house, has
got the frame work up and weather
boarding on and will soon be ready
for plastering and covering. We

be useless to put down any carpets
until they give the young folks of
his comm unity mammoth terpsi-

portals of the mansion Immediately
