Gard of Thanks.

ELKTON, GILES Co. TENN.
Fellow citizens: Allow me te return
to you my sincere thanks for the uni
form kindness and hos pitality extended
to me by all the people with whom
had the pleasure of mingling through
out the entire county of good old Giles.
Being young, poor and the son of an
humble, unpretending old farmer, and
a novice in the organization of political
campaigns, l owe the splendid cOmpli-
mentary vote that received for circuit
clerk to the spontaneous generosity OF
the good people OF my native county, /
am proud of the honor they have done
me and it will remain a green spot in
my memory that I shall nourish
Throughout my life with the fondest
gratitude. May the kindest blessings
of heaven attend all of the people OF
Old Giles, is the heartfelt wish of their
Obliged humble servant. Most respect
fully, II. LUTHER HUGHEY.

The directors of the fair assoeia-
ton have decided and announced
that they will give a free barbecue
the first day of the fair. The an
nouncement has met with such en-
thusiastic approval that an effort
will be made to repeat this attrac-
tive feature the second day. They
will OF course not be able to do this
without assistance. 1t is well known
that the association has not yet
paid entirely out of debt. They
have given their money and time to
this enterprise for the good of the
county. Thus far they have re-
ceived no returns, and still owe
some money, though the manage
ment has been prudent and econom-
zeal. They hope this year to get
the concern on its feet and in a po-
sition to offer larger premiums
hereafter. Surely the people of
Giles can afford to assist in this oh
iect. A committee has been ap-
pointed to solicit donations for the
barbecue. One member of the com
mittee in each district will ask for
help. Let the people respond lib
orally. Let's have a grand barbecue
and a good old time. Every body
give something. If the committee
man in your district is too lazy tC
see you and ask for something hunt
him up and force it on him.

We inviteall persons wanting hull
ers, to see or address us. We handle the
best in the world, namely, Gaar Scott.
This is the machine that runs lightly,
the one that hulls wet clover, and the
only one that will clear seed equal to
or better than northern cleaned
seed in fact it is the only machine re-
garded by the northern farmer as n
first-ciass huller. Seed cleaned on the
Gaar Scott sell for more money than
seed cleaned on shoddy machines. This
huller has stout iron cylinders. The
top or threshing cylinder Is a heavy
open cylinder, the bottom or rubbing
cylinder has its entire surface corruga-
ted or fiuted, also the teeth, thereby
giving it q greater rubbing capacity
than any other huller extant. The
Gaar Scoot has the latest improved re-
cleaning devices known. We will take
pleasure in referring you to parties u.s.
ing these hullers.

Death Of Mrs. j. B. Palmer.

Died, at Murfreesboro, Tenn, on
Sunday, August 18th, 1886, at %
o'clock, p. ~, Margaret j. Palmer,
daughter of A. NJ. and Mary T.
Ballentine, and wife of General j.
B. Palmer. Her burial took place
at Maplewood cemetery Tuesday at
IL o'clock.
The not unexpected death of
Mrs. Palmer at Murfreesboro on
Sunday evening last has brought
sorrow to our entire community
aud The deepest grief to here fami :
ly here. For many years she has
been a sufferer and an invalid, and
for years has combated the en-
croaehment of disease. Fond of
life and its social joys, of the pleas
ures and comforts of home, of the
endearments and affection of de
voted family, she has wrestled with
these years of pain with a strong
conviction of her strength to over
come them, but in vain. Mrs.
Palmer was a daughter of Mr.. A.
NJ. and Mary T. Ballentine of this
place. Her father was for long
years closely identified with the bus
mess interests and prosperity of Pu-
laskI, being one of its most honored
and influential citizens. Her dis
tiDguished mother, ripe in years,
still survives. In early womanhood,
rich in all the charms and graces of
a cultured life, endowed with rare
beauty of face and figure, brilliant
in intellect and charming in the So
cial world, she gave her hand in
marriage to Mr. William Mason of
Memphis, who klived but a few
years. Some years after his death
she was married again 10 Gen. j. B.
Palmer and spent the remainder of
her life in their happy and hospit-
able home at Murfreesboro. To
the mother, stricken in years and in
grief, to the daughter, bereft of
mothers care, to the family, to the
husband, who with such gentle
care has so long watched and min
istered at her bedside, till the
wants of her, his wife, had become
his daily thought and life, we ex-
tend our tenderest sympathy.

FIRE.
The Pulaski Gas Works Burned Yester-
day.

About 10 o'clock yesterday morn.
ing the fire alarm sounded and ii
was soon discovered that the gas
works were burning. The fire, when
discovered, was breaking through
the roof and every one expected to
see the building enveloped in flames
in few minutes. Soue were quite
apprehensive OF an explosion and a
few seemed to fear that the gas
pipes would explode simultaneously
all over the city. People were ma
tnrally slow TO approach the build
ing without some knowledge of the
quantity of intiammable oil stored
in or near the house. Mr.. Frank
Winship, the manager of the works,
arrived soon after the alarm sound
ed and knowing there was no dan
ger went to work at once. This re-
assured others and soon quite a
numb Der of men were busy taking
out the tools and machinery from
the front room which was untouch-
ed by fire. After a short time the
engine arrived and with it's assist
ance the hook and ladder brigade
succeeded in stopping the fire at
the partition wall which divides the
main building from the coke room
and shed on the north side. One
roof covers all the rooms, but there
is little wood work in the structure
and the fire was not very hot at
any time.
The damage to the steam boiler,
furnace and main pipe in the main
building cannot yet be estimated.
The entire damage will probably be
about $4,000; no insurance.
The fire was caused by an impe- |
diment in the outlet from the fur
mace to the holders. The gas being
impeded at its proper outlet was
forced back through the pipe which
conveys oil into the retorts. The
oil was thus thrown out of the pipe
at q point within a few inches OF
the red hot retotts, and being high
ly infammable (crude naptha) it
famed to the ceiling. Mr..
Wiuship had only been absent a
short time and a reliable workman
was in charge of the works, and at
Ills post, but he was powerless to do
anything to avert the disaster.
1t is impossible to say when the
works can resume operation. Prob
IDLY temporary arrangement may
De made within a week that will an
'wer all demands until the entire
plant can be overhauled and refit-
led. The supply of gas now on
land will probably last four or five
lays. The town may be left in the
lark few days, but with economy
N the part of the consumers the
upply on hand may last until the
necessary repairs are complete.
