John F. Walker. Their Affections were
about eight months duration, but these
only worked for them a far more ex-
ceeding and eternal weight OF glory.
They had timely notice of their APP
preaching dissolution and with much
fortitude they met it. They were of
earth'S purest christians; their noble
and exemplary christian lives were
beautifully exhibited in their etten-
dance at church, support of the gospel
and relief OF the poor; they were loved
and hOnOred by large class of relatives
and friends, respected and admired by
acquaintance who knew the graces
that adorned their lives; they spoke
evil of none. had the warmest sympa-
thy for the hayward, and ever ready to
forgive and forget. They gave abun-
dant proof OF their belief that the
path of duty is always the path of hap
piness,

Simpsons Chapel.

This is a beautiful situation
for a handsome church. The pres
ent structure, though endeared to
many hearts by hallowed associa-
tions, is decidedly uncomfortable
and dilapidated. We respectfully
suggest every member of this
church read the book of Haggai.
Rev. J. F. Tinnon will preach here
the 9th Sunday IN March. Quar-
terly meeting will be held here Sat-
urday and Sunday, the 18th and

The shadow of sickness is
resting over many homes and there
are sad faces and anxious hearts.
Mrs. Jane Moore has had severe
attack of pneumonia but is now
better. Mr.. Frank Steele of Pig
con Roost creek is quite i'll. Miss
Lora Hall is recovering from in
fammatory rheumatism. Mr. S.
S. Anderson is suffering from a
strained ankle. The measles pa
tients are too numerous to men
ton.
Mr.. Bub Alternately is teach
ing near here. We understand his
patrons are delighted with his
methods of teaching.
Miss Jennie Peden has re-
turned from Arkansas where she
has been visiting relatives.
Miss Mary Lou Simmons has
returned from Waverly where she
has been attending school.
Miss Elsie Cross is winning
reputation and popularity as a
teacher.
Mr.. Merit Eslick is teaching
near Midtown. He is a novice and
qnite young man, but from all
we can learn, he will make a sue
cessful teacher and will advance the
pupils thoroughly and rapidly. 1t
is a great and responsible work to
teach the youth Of our land.
Mr.. Henry Wilkes was very
sick last week, thought to be an at
tack of pneumonia.
-Messrs. George White and
Morris Moore walked from Giles
College Friday evening. Mr.. White
went to his uncle's, Henry Whites,
a walk of 5 miles, and Mr.. Moore
went to his fathers, B. F. Moore,
which is s miles. These young
gentlemen are now testing their
physical as well as mental strength.
We think that all who can af-
ford it should avail themselves OF
your splendid offer in the last CITI

there are no papers nor magazines,
nothing fresh to arouse interest in

Iynnville.

The event of greatest interest here
transpiring in a long while occurred
last Thursday. 1t was the marriage OF
Miss Anna Montgomery and the sheriff
of the county, Jno. d. Butler, of Pu-
lBski. The bride is a woman of noble
character and loved by all our people
for her many good qualities Ofhead and
heart and carries the best wishes of our
people in her new home. They were
quietly married by Rev. w, II. Groves
in the hotel parlor at p. m. The nup-
tials were witnessed by nearly the en-
tire population. After the ceremony
and congratulation the bridal party,
consisting of six buggies, started for
Pulaski. The party were Mr.. and Mrs.
z. NJ. Bunch, Miss Annette Godefroy,
Mr.. w. w. Marks with Miss Alice May,
Mr.. G. 3. Barnes with Miss BIackey
Montgomery, DR.. Butler and Mrs. Sam
Butler. Lynnville claims the sheriff
now, as we furnished the better half.

There is party making up here to

Exposition. The families of w. r
Dickerson, Geo. 5. Tate and Rev. w. Il
Groves head the list. .They will 60
about April l, and remain ten day S.
The party will contain 40, only half OF
which number is secured. Parties
wishing to join such party would do
well to drop line TO G. S. Tate at
once.
In reading a st. Johns, Michigan,
paper this week, find a Michigander
giving his observations at the New Or
leans Exposition. Half his article is a
copy verbatim of my article on my trip
to New Orleans. Strange that we saw
things exactly alike. [ take it that he
saw your paper and copied it rather
than write it, | think it quite COM
pliment to your paper but he should
have given you credit for it. Michi-
ganders used to be bad to take things
and are at their old tricks again.

Rural nipples.

The farmers have made good
use of the occasional pretty days
in sowing oats and preparing the
ground for corn. Wheat is not as
badly damaged as a great many
thought it was.
Potatoes, peas, carrots, rad
ishes, ETC., have been planted, and
N. B. Zuccarello set out a thou
sand very fine cabbage plants Sat
urday.
Typographical errors last week
made me say Taber instead of Fa-
Der, and dray business instead of
drug business.
If you will allow the space I will
describe a beautiful and compiled
ted clock that l saw in Ro5insOn's
Dime Museum on Canal street at
New Orleans. The frame work of
this clock is constructed of very fine
mahogany or rosewood inlaid with
pearls and precious stones. 1t is
about eight feet tall, has large
brass balance wheel and a large
pendulum, the ball Of which con
tains a small clock. There are
three large faces. One keeps the
time in New Orleans, one in Lon
don, and the other in Pekin, China.
1t keeps all the divisions of time
seconds, minutes, hours, days ofthe
week, days Of the month, month of
the year and the changes of the
moon. 1t also represents the earth
around the sun and the
moon around the earth. At the end
of the first quarter of an hour, a
little brazen locomotive comes out
at the foot OF the clock, runs around
on q circular track and returns to
the depot again. At the end of the
second quarter a beautiful lily bios
SONS slowly disclosing a pretty little
cherub in its bud and then closes
up again. The third quarter is
made interesting by the opening of
three little doors at the top of the
clock. Just within the center door
sits enthroned a small statue of the
the twelve apostles march
out of the door at the right and all
face the Savior as they pass except
Peter who turns his back. After
they enter the door at the left all the
doors close. The hour is complet-
ed by the appearance of Uncle Sam,
4 snail statue dressed in the ma
Iional colors of the United States.
He wears high churn hat, a pig
sOn-tailed coat and linen pants. He
walks around the circle at the foot

wonderful piece of mechanism, and

Stock Rraadars, Association

The regular monthly meeting of
the Giles County Breeders Associ-
alton was held in Maj. Stacy's of
flee last Saturday and the following
officers we're elected for the term !:
w. c. Carter, president; AZ. G. Fitz-
patrick, vice president; D. S. Mar
tin, secretary.
The question was discussed as to
whether the association should
have a stock sale and j. B. Stacy,
+. G. Buford, r. j. Anderson, W.
G.. Carter and D. S. Martin were ap-
pointed committee to inquire into
the ACCESSIBILITY of such a step, and
viii report at the next meeting.
The most important action Of tho
association, that which will most
interest the people of the county,
was their determination to have a
general stock show some time in
the month of May. The following
gentlemen were appointed a COM
mite to supervise the show: j. B.
Stacy, J. E. Alternately, VIM. Tun-
gett, r. G. Reynolds and A. J. Nc
Kimmin. Now, while it is the pur
pose of the ASSOCIATION to direct
this show, it is by no means their
desire to confine it to the exhibition
of their own stock. They desire,
upon the contrary, that every man
in Giles county who has a horse,
mare or colt, a bull, COW or calf, .
sheep or a hog, which is worth look
ing at to have it present on the
day which will hereafter be appoint
ed and to parade it on the streets
OF Pulaski. They want all kinds of
good stock, it matters not to whom
they belong, 10 be here. This will
certainly be an interesting occasion
for the stock raisers of Giles and
one which may be profitable to
many of them. 1t will afford a rare
opportunity of showing what stock
YOU have, will advertise what you
want to sell and give you a good
chance to make such purchases as
you may desire 1t is hoped that the
peopleof the county will take an in
terest in this matter and make the |
stock show a grand success. Curry |
off your fine horses, fatten your good |
hogs and bleoded bulls, give your
yearlings some extra nubbins, and |
be ready to exhibit all of your
stock when the day is set.
