There is real dearth of news
just now and one sorely feels the
need of a Joe Mulhatton or some
other equally imaginative genius
Yet despite the fact that we have
run short of news, our people are
busy as bees. Graves, Dou9hertv
d. Randall are moving a quantity Of
lumber, running six or eight Wae-
ons to Prospect daily.
Mrs. Martha, wife of Eldridpe
Longshore, died the 9TH inst. The
family have the sympathy ofthe en-
tire community.
The health of the community
is improving. Among the sick this
week | note Mr.. James White. He
is improving. Lizzie, the little
daughter of Mr.. Henry Clemmons,
is sick, though not seriously.
Mrs. Newman is visiting her
son, Lewis Clemmons. Miss Mary
Snipes is visiting in Lauderdale
CO., Ala.
The cattle plague has made its
appearance, killing several valuable
COWS in this community. We have
plenty OF hogs with no disease and
a good white oak mast.
Among the social events of the
day would mention the marriage
of Mr.. j. S...Locke to Miss Lucinda
White, at the home of the groom,
just after the thunder storm had
passed around, last Sunday evening.
j. +. Marbut, esq'r, officiating.
Quite nice supper was given and
all present seemed to enjoy the at
fair in the extreme. Among the
presents is one to be given by the
old folks, a nice, round scoldinp.
The happy bride we hope will have
no further fears of burglars.
On the 10th inst, Mr.. John
Longshore was married to Miss
Nellie Locke.
We are looking for, l know not
what, but certain long-legged, big
footed young man on Shoal creek
would do well not to come over the
bridge too frequently. / say cake
warning, John.
i wish to ask some intelligent
reader of the CITIZEN what kind OF
a telegraph was it constructed by
Capt. John Smith prior to his com
ing to Virginia in 1907. We know
it was medium of communication.
Is Morse not the actual inventor Of
the telegraph. .IcAL.

"A most gracious meeting clos

conversions. Mr.. Brown had sew
eral preachers to come and render
valuable assistance during the meet

Since our last there have many
things transpired that we should
like to let the readers of the CITIZEN
know, bUt time will not let US do so
Therefore that that we would not,
we will.
On Monday night, Sept. 7th
Mrs. L. Longshore was called from
time to eternity. She had been
lingering IN the agonies of consump-
ton for a long time. The be-
reaved ones have our undivided
sympathy.
-4ddie and Floyd Clemmons
and Linsey and Nela Beard have
been sick with fever but all of them
are better. It would be as easy
for us to tell the families that have
had no sickness as to tell of those
that have since our last.
Mrs. w. r. Jones died Satur-
day night, the 18th, with consump-
ton. She was confined to her bed
but q few days. We are 10th to
give her up. She was our neigh
Dor aud friend and a more affection
ate wife and devote mother could
not be found, always ready to adj
to the wants of the afflic-
ted. She was 46 years old aud pro-
fessed religion at the age of 80 hut
had never joined any church. The
husband and children have the sym
pathy of this entire neighborhOod.

To Those Who Have Lands for Sale or
Rant

/ desire to state that from pres
ent indications a favorable oppor
tunity will soon he offered; as we
have information indicating that
there will be many immigrants and
prospectors during the present fall
and approaching winter from the
north to Tennessee and other
southern states, with a view to 10
eating and either buying or renting
lands. To meet this incoming tide
l have in the real estate agency
formed an association with Mr.. S.
Z. White, a man of experience in
that business, and who also has an
extensive acquaintance throughout
the northern and western states,
and as the firm of Jones d White
we would respectfully tender our
services to all persons who may de-
sire to find a purchaser, or renter
for their lands, &c. Respectfully,

Do Yon Want to Sell Your Farm2
Master of ceremonies.


Mr.. S. P. White, late of Indian a,
who now owns and operates the
Mrs. Tom White farm over the
creek and has made OF it a model
farm. has associated himself with
Mai. Il. NJ. n. Jones in the real es-
tate business, and they propose to
buy and sell on commission farms
and real property. Maj. Jones last
year, with very inferior facilities,
made several large land sales, and
Mr.. Whites presence in the bust
ness is a sure guaranty of larger
business. He is a very intelligent
man, splendid farmer, and has
8leen engaged in the business before
in the northwest. He is a cOnscI-
enti0us man also and being from
the north and of pleasant address,
lie will have considerable influence
IN bringing men here to locate.
There must be cooperation if we
get the fullest benefits. Last year
Mai. Jones had to contend against
home people who would way-lay
and seize = upon men who came
here at his SOLICITATION ana aIGempI
10 sell their farms. We believe
not a single sale was made thus but
ii had the effect to drive several
away who otherwise might have
bought of him. If you desire to
sell YOUR home or farm, place 1T in
their hands at once-thls week II
possible, as there will be a delega-
ton of northen men at Nashville
dhis week.
1t does not cost you one SINCE
cent unless q sale is effected and
YOU do not run any risk of losing
any money. They will advertise
their list of farms right among the
PEOPLE who wish to buy and they
have extra facilities for reaching
them. Call at Maj. Jones office
and register your farm If you wish
10 sell it.
