RedeIl.

We have had a good rain
which considerably refreshed vege.
tation and everything in general.
The health of our community
is not very good at present. Our
efficient deputy sheriff, VIM. Hall,
has been quite indisposed, but is
improving. Mr.. +. NJ. Scoggin is
still in feeble health.
We heard very good sermon
delivered by Mr.. Brooks the 3rd
Sunday at Persimmon Grove. He
says he will be with US again the
End Sunday in October.
The property of Mr.. A. B.
Hall, deceased was sold last Satur-
day the 18th.
Died at her home in MiIltown,
Mrs. Lou Parsons on 8Lh inst, at 8
o'clock, p. IN. She leaves a kind
husband, and n dear brother and
sister to mourn her loss. Her many
friends ,jofn them in weeping for
the loved one. Her remains were
inferred at Mt Zion. Rev. A. NJ.
Ezell conducted funeral services. -
But death, grim death, did not
stop there. He also claimed for his
victims Mr.. Charlie Parsons and the
sweet little babe of Mr.. aud Mrs.
Harris Austin. Charlie was a firm
member of the Baptist church and
a faithful servant Of the Lord. He
will be sadly missed by his numer-
Gus friends. His young wife has
the sympathy of all, Charlie has
filed his mission here, and has
gone to dwell with his Savior.

He was greeted with vociferous

ty that Tennesseans ever listened
TO. 1t IS not necessary to attempt
even a meagre synopsis of the
speech. Nearly everybody in Giles
who cares to know what he said
heard 1t or had read it in the daily
press.
Col. ALT. Taylor responded in
what is said to have been his best
effort of the canvass. He did not
begin to answer his brothers in
dictment. He made a gallant ef-
fort but the facts were all against
him and greater man than he had
him down. 1t was the almost uni
versal verdict that Alf. was beaten
and worsted at every point.
The brothers renamed over

with the cOrdiality of their recep-
tion and entertainment.

The superintendent has an

of John G. Whittier. A committee
has written him, acquaInting him
of the intention of the school and
asking him for a short letter to be

BOB TAYLOR'S POLE.
a Flag Pole to be Erected in pulas-
ki, October Is.
Senator Harris and Hon. Jno. F. House to
Dedicate It..

The various Bob Taylor clubs Of
the county are to be asked to assist
in raising a Bob Taylor flag pole in
Pulaski, Oct. Is, and to assemble
in force and take part in the cere-
monies of dedication.
Chairman Rivers of the demo
cratic committee calls upon the
com mitteemen in the districts
where there are no clubs to organ
ize clubs at once or TO organize
a company of democrats to ofIiciate
for that day.
Each district is expected to be
represented by : club or by a body
of democrats organized fol that
day, and the committeeman are
made marshalls of their districts
(where no clubs EXIST and are
urged to get their people together,
and march them into town in a
body with flags and white roses.
Senator Harris and Hon. Jno. f.
House, two Of the leading demo
cratic orators and statesmen of
the south are both billed for
speeches that hay. Never before
were two such distinguished states
men of the same party in Pulaski.
The pole is specifically a Bob
Taylor pole. 1t therefore challenges
the young men to active effort to
make the day grand one.
The committeeman and the pres
idents of the Bob Taylor clubs are
called to meet in consultation next
Monday at Mr.. Rivers office in
Pulaski to plan the arrangements.
1t is hoped not one will be missing.
The success of it depends upon the
heartiness with which the commit
teemen act.
The young democrats of the dis
tricts where no clubs exists are
neglecting their duty. Do not let
old croakers persuade you there is
no use in organizing. The young
men are the prOprietors of Bob lay
lor. They clamored TO be allowed
to run one campaign and they al
most shook down the capitol at
when they got their man. |
Now stand up TO him! Organize
clubs! Put yourself to a little
trouble. Help US get 1000 demo-
Gratis to vote for him. Our older
brethren have grown callous and
cold and they see no use in organ
izing. They have forgotten how to
give a democratic yell.
Let the young men fire the old
ones with new zeal and reaWaken
in them the old enthusia SIN that
made the days Of IA memorable.
Democracy expects every man to
10 his duty regardless of little diff
'erences.
This is the year of Blooms. Great
IS the boom of Our Bob. Let's
boom it louder.
Young men, call a meeting in
your district at once and organize.
If the young men fail to make this
;Ampaign the glorious victory they
they will be ousted from
and the gray heads
will take CONTROL again.

Sneed'S Academy.

Our farmers are very busy
picking cotton. The yield will
doubtless be much better than was
generally anticipated some weeks
ago. Some have commenced turn
ing their stubble land preparatory
foS another crop. There will be
more wheat sown in this section
this year than last. Some have be-
gun to prepare for sowing. Wheat
has not been profitable enough in
this locality for the last few years to
induce farmers to SOW great deal.
There are a great many cattle
here for sale. Buyers would do
we'll to give US a call just now.
Glover is looking finely since
the rains.
There is some cholera among
the swine.
And still they leave US. Messrs.
r. L. Wilkinson and Thomas Nc
Alister left here last Monday TO try
their fortunes in Texas. May they
speedily find the long sought for
Eldurado and return to live with us.
Mr.. John W. Penny will leave
next week for Texas. He has sold
out here and expects to make Tex
as his future home.
Mr.. A. D. Sandusky left here
last Monday in company with his
son Mr.. j. H. Sandusky to visit
friends and relatives in West Ten
1essee.
Rev. j. w. Faulkner will leave
his week for Mississippi. He has
bought land there and will settle
Town on the farm.
MIR. Sidney Trip of Lawrence
burg has entered school here. He
will attend again the next session.

An Old-Time Scare.

AS this age and generation seem
to be on the verge of some terrible
calamity or wonderful events in the
worlds history, permit me to give
an extract from an old Engl sh pa
per of an occurrence that took place
in 1912.
In the year 1872, Mr. Whitson,
having calculated the return OF Il
comet which was to make its APP
pearance on Wednesday, the 1Ith
of October, at five minutes after
five in the morning, gave notice to
the public accordingly, with this
trifing addition, that a total disso-
luton Of the world by fire was to
take place on the Friday following.
The reputation of Mr.. Whitson had
long maintained in England, both
as a divine and philosopher, left lit
tie or no doubt with the pOpulace
of the truth of his predictions.
Several ludicrous events took place.
A number of persons in and about
London seized all the harges ami
boats they could lay thcir hands
on in the Thames, very nationally
concluding that when tue cOnla
grafton took place there would be
the most safety on the water. A
gentleman who had neglected his
family worship for five years in
formed his wife that it was his de
termination to resume that laudahle
practice the same evening, but his
wife, having engaged a ball at her
house, persuaded her husband TO
put it off till they saw whether thu
comet appeared or not. The South
Sea stock Immediately fell to per
cent, and the India IL, and the
captain of the Dutch ship threw
all his powder into the river that
the ship might not he endangered.
The next morning, however, the
comet appeared according to the
prediction, and before noon the be-
lief was universal that the day of
judgment was at hand. About this
sine 323 clergymen met over the
Lam beth, it was said, TO petition
that a short prayer might be pen
ned and ordered, there being none
in the church service on that occa-
sion.
Three maids of honor burned
their collection of novels and plays,
and sent to the booksellers to buy
each of them a bible and Bishop
Taylor's "Holy Living and Dying"
The run upon the bank was so
prodigious that AL hands were en-
ployed from morning till night in
discounting notes and handing out
the specie. On Thursday consid
erably more than 1000 who kept
mistresses were legally married in
the face of several congregations.
And to crown the whole farce Sir
Gilbert Heathcote, head director of
the bank, issued orders to all the
fire officers of London requiring
them to keep a good lookout and
have a particular eye on the bank
OF England.

This May weather in Septem-
Der is improving the pastures and

and sweet potatoes.
We unintentionally failed to
mention in our last letter the sick
ness of John M. Ross and of a child
or Joe Parsons. Mr.. X. has about
recovered from an attack of aux.
Mr.. Ps child has pneumonia.
There have been two funerals
at Mt. Zion this week: A child of
Harris Austin was buried SUNDAY
evening. Charles Parsons, son Of
u. Nj. Parsons, was buried Monday
evening. Funeral services by their
pastor, Rev. Mr.. Evans. Mr.. Par
sons died of hemorrhage of the
lungs. He leaves a young widow
to whom he had been married not
quite year. He was an acccpta-
bile member of Mt. Zion Baptist
church.
The children here were SON g.

by some wandering Turks who had
dancing bears with them. They

Uhatauqua Circle.

a few ladies and gentlemen met
last Friday night at the residence
of Mr.. L. W. McCord to organize .
local Chatauqus circle. Partial or
ganization was effected by the
election of president, yice-prosident,
secretary and treasurer, and the APP
pointment Of a committee to draft
constitution and ny laws. The first
order OF business at the next meet
ing is to act on the report Of this
committee and complete the organi-
cation. The number of members
viii necessarily be limited. The
next meeting will be at Mrs. Bra
dy's to-morrow-Friday night.
The Chatauqua circle offers a
practicable plan for self-education,
and a local circle composed of earn
est workers will naturally exert q
wholesome infuence.It deserves the
support and cooperation Of intelli-
gent people and we hope to see it
prosper.

The first day of our fair (Tues-
day) was the best beginning day
the association ever had. The
barbecue it was thought would at
tract even q much larger crowd but
the managers are delighted with the
result even as it is. Over q hun
DIED dollars gate receipts on the
first day is a neD thing to them.
The exhibits were up to the av-
erage generally. The finest mules,
it is claimed. ever seen at a fair
here were exhibited Tuesday. a
spirited pacing race in the after
noon was won by Gale Thomas
horse Banks over a field of five
easily.
The barbecue Tuesday and Wed
nesday was greatly enjoyed. The
shooting match for a gold watch
was close between 10 Flippin and
John Ruth, Mr.. Ruth shooting for
both himself and Mr.. Fippin. He
broke eight out of ten for Flippin
and seven for himself. We learn
there was some dissatisfaction. 1T
is claimed that T. II. May could
have tied the leader if he had shot
at the balls he was entitled TO and
had. broken all of them. 1t will prob
ably be shot over again.
The audience yesterday was no
better than on Tuesday. The rings
were tolerably well filled. II is re
marked that there is more fine
stock on the ground than usual.
The prospect for splendid sport to-
day and tomorrow is good and
there will doubtless be large
crowds.
The floral hall presents its usual |
attractiveness. We delay the pre- |
MUM list so as to publish all Of it 4 !

The big trotting race, yesterday |
was won by Mr.. A. j. McKImmln's |
Timber Jim, Lookout, jr., second,
Iarfelds third. The race was quite
nteresting, 1.-The first three trotting
lose together in several heats.

Clark, the eldest daughter OF Dr. Nj. l..
Clark, of Clifton, aged years and
months. To our short vision it seems
strange that n little child OF such rare
sprightliness and sweetness, which had
so entwined the heart-strings of fond
parents about it, by its winsome ways
and intelligent prsttle, should be thus
early snatched away by death, relent-
less death. But He who sees from the
beginning to the end knows best, and
took her from the home she so bright
ened 70 His own bosom ere the rough
blasts of this sin-smitten world had
touched her pure spirit; where nothing
can blight the beautiful unfolding
which hope and expectation had paint
ed for this fair but frail little thing,
Dear parents, grieve not for her, Tor
she Is not dead, but only gone before,
and is now resting under the "shade OF
the trees" in that "land that Is fairer
than day." waiting and watching for
you. 1t her fond spirit could come
back to you she would say, in her
sweetest tones, sweep not tor me, for
without struggle l have reached the
goal, which you are longing to attain"
She is watching you with wistiul eyes,
implOring you to come and join with
her the loved ones she met in glory

describe. Her suffering was intense
