The case of NJ. Houston VS.. the
railroad came up Saturday and was
continued. The case is elicitine
much interest. The former sued
the latter for $50O damage for sick
ness and damage to his place by
failure of the railroad to open sufi
Gent culvert to let the water pass
uDobstructed. Il. w. Ewing repre-
senting the road and Flournoy Riv-
ers for Mr.. Houston were here. 1t
is thought if the railroad can be
held for damages for impairing the
health condition of the town then
all who cause filth and injure the
sanitary condition could be and
should be held responsible for dam
age to health.
Prof. Wall, who has been 10
years at Lewisburg and 30 years an
educator, was here few days ago
prospecting with a view to locating
a training school here similar to
the big school at Culleoka taught
by Profs. Webb. He had some
thing of the success of the mill
man who went out to hunt a good
mill site. He said he found the fin
est sites in the world but they had
no water. He found everything
that could be desired here for the
school but the money or enterprise
TO take hold of it. We hope some
thing may yet be done,
Mr.. j. H. Story reports a yield
of 50 barrels of corn on six acres
and 200 barrels on 20 acres. HIS
old jersey red SOW, observing how
prolific the corn, determined not to
be outdone and furnished Ia pigs
to consume it. There was but one
whinock in the lot. Mr.. s, is one
of our successful farmers and owes
it to the rest of us less successful
fellows to join our farmers associa-
ton and tell us how to succeed.
Our town and country mourn
the death of our worthy postmas-
ter, Esq. Montgomery, who died last
week full of years and after life
of usefulness. He had superhu-
man energies and for years attend
ed to business after receiving stroke
after stroke of paralysis any of
which would have laid up an ordi-
nary man. He was only nominaIly
postmaster. The duties were per-
formed admirably. and satisfactorily
by his daughter, Miss Mack, who
will continue to occupy that place
as she is in every way qualified and
deserving.
Prof. Smith has the old iron
spoon with which he fed the inner
man with 'coosh' during the long
years he followed JEFF and the late
confederacy. 1t administered so
much to his comfort under such
trying circumstances he now pro
poses 10 clean it of its thick coat of
rust and have it gold plated and
wear 1t on his left breast in token
of the service it rendered him in
those dark hours that tried mems
souls-their stomachs as well.
Seldom do we refer to anything
noticed by other correspondents,
but the marriage of my esteemed
young friend Thomas Martin Err
win to Miss Alice NJ. Ball must
prove the exception. Their mar
riage is one of those in which true
and loyal hearts blend; one from
which the greatest bliss to mortals
given might hope to come. Young
and pure hearts, true to everything
that is right and good, their life
blended so early will together
strengthened beauty as they 60 hand
in hand up to noontide and down
the evening slope of life. He is an
old student of mine and well
know the bigness of his soul. To
say l wish them happiness does
not express it. That l feel is as
sured.
The oyster supper at Bufords
Friday evening, while conducive to
much happiness and enjoyment,
failed to be the pecuniary success
it was hoped for. Our folks have
an oyster supper in contemplation
to be had as we approach the holt
days that will be the event of the

when to get themselves ready for
something good as well as abound
ing with pleasure.
