THANKSGIVING.

Thanks, for the years brave bounties;
Thanks, for the joys of life;
Thanks. for our nations glory;
Thanks, for the death Of strife.
Thanks, that the roar Of battle
Comes only from afar;
Thanks, that the love of freedom
Still leads men like star.
Thanks, that the world is better;
That tie future seems so bright;
That the strength of an age Of reason
is teaching men the right.

A Cowardiy, Coniemplib e Saying.

A Cowardly, Conlemptib Saying.
A woman is at the bottom of every
mischief.
So say legion of noodles who know
not what they say, and who think they
think, when they only repeat what they
have heard others say before them.
DO these faddists ever reflect that
there are two kinds Of people in the
world, male and female, and as they
generally associate together it is prob,
abe that every occurrence will directly
or indirectly iAvolye some individual OF
both sexes?
But unfortunately for the faddists,
there are some conditions in life in
which their theory can be thoroughly
tested. In the California and Austria
liam gold-tnining regions they had no
women, and yet, if our memo Y serves
MS right. their days and nights We're
not altogether ! a 'sed in halcyon sim
plicity; ut, on the contrary, their
camps We're scenes Of fighting, tabbing,
gouging, shooting, lynchng, and bloody
murder generally.
On board ship they have no women
to make mischief. and yet they are not
altogether lamblike in their relations,
living in brotherly love and harmony.
The soft answer is often Delaying

quently at the end OF yard-arm.
Now, if the opposite were popular
expression, that there is a man at the
bottom of every trouble it would be
much more diiiicult to disprove.
No, the oft-quoted saying is false,
cowardly, and contemptible one, and 4

HYMENEAL HAPPINESS

Our talented and genial friend, R.
). Fletcher, Esq, late of the jackson
Wing, was married last Thursday
morning tv Miss Pattie g. Walker,
at her fathers residence, near Browns
vile, the Rev. John Williams of the
Wesleyan College officiating. The
bridal party stopped over here an
.lkispr or two, waiting for train to
Jackson, when we had the pleasure of
forming the acquaintance Of the fair
and charming lady. This is a most
happy and appropriate union of hearts
and hands, and we believe will result
in a peaceful and joyous life to the
contracting parties, who have the
choicest blessings Of the Exchange.
Cards are out for the marriage of
our handsome young friend, Mr.
James H. Barham, jr., formerly OF
Milan, and Miss Genie s. Brown,
daughter of the late Hon. W. Matt,
Brown, Of Nashville. The ceremony
will be performed at the residence Of
the brides mother, % South Summer

Milan wish the happy couple long,
useful and joyous lives in this world,
and the Exchange includes itself
among the number.

and the rendition excellent. While
all performed their parts well, we

Help the Needy.

Several liberal and charitable gen.
tlemen have placed in the hands Of
Mayor Stone small sums of mouey to
be expended for the relief of the suf-
fering poor of our town, which he has
used judiciOusly. Two or three fami.
lies, we learn, are in very needy cir'
cumstances, being without fuel and
having very little to eat or wear. This
is not generally known, or we are
confident our good people would not
have permitted it. Now that it is
known. let all who are able hand or
send Mayor Stone money, provisions,
clothing, or orders for wood or coal,
so tina. he can place them where most
needed. Do not feed tramps and
other beggars unless you are con'
vinced they are in actual want.
Mayor Stone will investigate each
case and only help those who are
needy, so that your charitable gifts
placed in his hands will be worthily
bestowed. Remember, "He thai
giveth to the poor lendeth to the
Lord !" and that is the best investment
you can make. Give something to-
day.
