scribers. The bank proposes to
open with $4,000 paid-up capital.
Judge Pepper and brother of
Springfield, Robinson county, pro-
pose to furnish $4,000 and the
$4,000 necessary is nearly all spo-
ken for. We hope our people will
take hold of this golden opportuni-
ty with alacrity. A bank is a pub
lie necessity. A. j. Grifiis last fall
showed me his check book from
which he had given $4,000 in
checks in a few weeks and he is
only one of a great number of
trading men.
-Lynnville was much excited
over a triangular contest for the
postoffice here made vacant by the
death of Esq. Montgomery-M. L.
Shields, Q. E. Isaacs and J. n.
Bradshaw. Each had warm fol-
lowing Of friends who signed their
respective petitions. They are all
clever men-good friends of ours.
The postofiice is an important one
and business qualifications are in
dispensible In its discharge. Miss
Montgomery was appointed Mon
day.
Col. Geo. W. Potter and Mr..
W. W. Scruggs of Town Creek, Ala,
were both visiting at Prof. Smiths
the past week. They extended
their trip to Nashville. Formerly
| rumor had it that Mr.. S. was court
ing IN Pulaski. Suspicion is that
his affections are drifting northward
and are lowering around LyDnville.
The two Sunday schools, the
town and the country, have united

little ones and themselves as well

Rev. W. II. Groves is asked
and has given his consent that Capt.
j. H. Russell occupy the Presbyte-
rian church the 4th Sunday at IL
a. N. on the subject Of temperance.
He will handle the subject from a
christian, moral and not a political
standpoint. All are requested to
attend. After the lecture Mr..
Groves desires a congregational
meeting. Ali members of the church
are urgently requested to attend.
Our young friend j. n. Boyd
went to Nashville the past week to
go in the wholesale brokerage bust
ness. He is in every respect wor-
thy and we hope success will attend
his efforts.
The crowd in town Saturday
was more like a big first Monday
than anything else.
II. F. McCord of Ashgap had
his stock of goods sold at auction
here (his health having failed). The
funniest thing connected with this
auction was nearly everything start
ed at a nickel-whether a pair of
boots or jews-harp.
Wiley d Barnett of Mt. Pleas
ant and Moore OF Columbia bought !
3 number of mules Saturday at
from 500 to $1Z5-something bet

only.as reported to me by bystand-
ers.
MIR. J. P. Boyd who has had a
slow fever for eleven weeks does
not improve. He is able to be up
some.
Mrs. Welburn, sister Of j. w.
is rather worse the past
few weeks. Hers is pulmonary
trouble.
Mrs. D. P. Carter probably
owes her life and the liIe of her
child to the unusual docility of Cot
toneyed 10, the horse she was driv-
ing to a roadcart Saturday morn
ing. She was driving down the
hill on her way to Lynnville when
the axle broke, precipitating her
and child and nurse on the horses
heels. He stopped and stood as
gentle as dog ill they were rescu-
ed from their perilous situation. I
-Minton, little son of Mrs. Lou
Goodwin, is very sick with pneu-
monis.
Mr.. Solomon Davis who is SO
s having chills and in feeble health.
He came to Giles in 1908 and took
IN active part in clearing the cane

would rank high in a book of ad- '
