VOL. Ill.
A Maiden's HDreanls.

No football wakens the mansion
Asleep in the suns warm rays,
The Lady Glare is aweary
Ofsilence and lonely days,
Loves magic of late has stolen
The charm from her life's still way,
She turns from her book, and RISES
To gaze through the easement low,
The languorous lily perfumes
Towards her on soft airs blow
White liliesl All once she loved them,
She gathers red roses now.
Oh, when win the noon be sunset,
And over the green hillside,
And up through the beeches shadows
The lover she looks for ride?
And when win this life be ended,
And bring the bright life untried?
While thus she waits in impatiencO,
Naught guesseth the Lady Glare,
That sweet as Loves red roses,
Fun oft thorn they bear,
And the new life that seems so joyous,
May bring with it weight of care.
Perhaps in the years that follow,
When cares press heavily,
And the thorns have pierced through tn
roses,
Then, all their dreamings will be
ofthe old, sweet life mid the lilies,
In maidenhood blithe and gay,

THE PRESIDENTS CURB BIT.
The House Stampeded byTwenty-nine
More Pension Vetoes. No Jobs
to Get Through During
Closing Hours.

Closing Hours.
WASHINGTON, June 24.-President
Cleveland is creating a regular panic
in Congress. He sent twenty-nine We
to messages inup to to-day. pto the
reception Of to-day's batch he had
sent in forty-lour veto messages.
During Gen. Grants eight years ad-
ministration he sent only twenty-nine
yetoes. Nearly all of the pension bills
voetoed by the President covered
claims previously rejected by the Pen
sion Bureau. The Pension Commit
tee of Congress thought the claims
had been rejected for improper rea-
sons. Several of the cases vetoed
we're unanimously reported from the
committees. A mathematician, who
has figured up the amount of money
involved in the veto bills sent in up
to this morning, says that it would
just about foot up the sum appropri-
ated by Congress for the expenses OF
the White House during year.
Mr.. Cleveland is the first President
to veto pension bills. Only one has
ever been vetoed before his time. The
reasons Of the President in nearly ev-
cry case are regarded as good, but the
political influences which secured
their passage are very much disturb
ed. Some of the public building bills
vetoed will perhaps cost the members
their reelection. 1t is understood
that the President has only begun his
veto work.
1t is now regarded as certain that
the River and Harbor bill will be ve-
toed. This is another source OF great
distress to the members and Senators,
who have piled up very large bill to
make up for the lack OF last ysar. 1t
! is also understood that the President
does not intend to be hurried by Con-
gress in the consideration of the big
appropriation bills, He thinks it an
outrage that Congress should put of
all important bills to the closing days
Of the session, he proposes to take time
! to examine every item Of them.
1t is not improbable that some one
! Of the great appropriation bills may
be vetoed If there is any item il
any Of them which he does not ap
prove, that is the only way he car
; reach it. He favors strongly change
in the existing laws so that the Presi
! dent will have the power to veto sepa
rate items in bill. This action will
undoubtedly delay final adjournment
He is entitled to ten days for the con
Is sideration Of each OF the importan
G measures, and it is expected that h
Is will use the full time before giving hi
IS signature.
y In the past it has been customar
" to have the President spend the las
D. night Of a session Of Congress at tn
le Capitol signing great mess OF bill
'e without reading them During thes
81 hours some OF the worst jobs in tn
" history OF Congress have been rushe
OF through, The President has notife
le several of the House leaders that i
rs does not propose to sign a single bil

9 without reading it, and if they e

Bob TAYLOR Clubs.

The suggestion to form Bob Tay
Tor clubs in all the districts meets
with almost universal favor. We
hear of 2 few who think it is use
less, but we hear of other hundreds
who are enthusiastic in favor of it.
Let the work go on.
Giles will make the biggest ex-
hibit of democrats the day Bob
Taylor comes she ever did The
object of the club organization is to
keep the people enthused so that
every single democrat in the coun-
ty will come out and vote.
The colored people of Giles county
can be easily persuaded to cast their
lot permanently with the democrats.
They have had recent proof right
here at home that their white boss
es want all the offices and de not
care cent for a negro except to
get his vote.
White republicans have run the
leading colored republican out of
the county. The chairman of the
Nashville republican committee,
Hon. Stanley H. Bell, who is Frank
Reid's brother-in-law said no
longer ago than last Saturday
that he WIS tired of the negro. He
thinks they stink and he wants
to get rid OF some of them SO they
may make the democratic party
stink too Let the colored people
of Giles know how these white re
pnblicans talk.
The negroes have seen it demon
strated that the democrats are not
going to put them back into slav
cry, and they see that their white
bosses despise them and only want
their votes Drill these facts into
our colored people and we can cast
ly make a thousand votes in Giles.
Let the democratic speakers
preach these things from every
stump. Let the Bob Taylor clubs
see to it that persistent, united,
thorough effort is made to have
these things preached to the colored
people. Let's have q good, long
strong pull all together for Bob
Taylor and 4, AGO democratic votes.
Organize in every district! Or
ganize next Saturday! Let every
body joinl And let's have Bob
Taylor met in grand style here on
Sep. %. Don't hang back! Young
men to the front.

Mooresville Colt Show.


There is no event more looked
forward to by lovers of the horse
than the Mooresville colt show
Last Saturday they oGtdid them
selves in a big show of fine stock
big basket dinner and good cheer in
which fair women and generous
men made all visitors feel it was
good TO be there. The crowd was
estimated at 1900 and they ali
were filed and about one hundred
baskets of fragments taken up.
Slasher, jr., property of j. r.
Bryant, showed first ring of colts, a
fine lot of rapid pacing colts, fol-
lowed by a fine lot of brood mares.
w. d. L. Pickens took first pre-
MUM and his son r. Pickens Sec
ond.
Next followed ring by Bedford
Beauty, property of o. w. Fry
These was a dozen extra fine colts.
j. G. Harris took first premium and
Scott Davis second premium. These
were all big reachy fellows with a
rapid way of going,
Last came Old Bob Hal son OF old
Tom Hal. He had a big ring of
roam side wheelers following him
that was worth looking at. These
little fellows pace as level headed
as the best trained horse and will
distinguish themselves and their
sire on the turf at no distant day.
B. f. Fox showed two very fine
colts that took both the blue and
red ribbon.
Bob Hal had ring of one year
Odds in which w. II. Duncan show
ed bay yearling as big as 2
year old and was a phenomenal
PAGER.
There we've sales of some $4,000
worth of mules and colts. One
mule colt sold for 500.
There was a show of saddle geld
ingG and stations IN which some
dozen stations took part. They
were Halls, Hardees. Bonesetters
and Pulaski's all possessing great
individual merit.
Any lover of the pacing horse
who has not seen the Mooresville
colt show has missed a rare treat.
We were shown great kindness
by all these prlncely folks and
could not mention all those to
whom / am Indebted. b.

SuKnac.

We have had some very inter
estjng meetings in this and adjoin-
ing neighborhoods. Rev. Mr..
Daulby of Bedford county, did
some very interesting and profita-
BILE preaching at Mt. Zion Baptist
church. He assisted Rev. Mr.. Ev-
ans the pastor. The third sermon
of Mr.. Haynes at Blooming Grove
created quite a buzz among our
rural denlzens. We are persuad-
ed that many misconstrued his re-
marks. AS Sam Jones has fore
stalled me by saying a hit dog
'.hollers" 1 will not say much.

death has been among US, impress

Capt. j. w. WiIIiamson's Luck
Again.

AS there has been various rumors,
ETC., about Capt. j. w. Williamson
drawing $40, 600 in the Louisiana State
Lottery, we again aecosted the good
natured captain on the subject while
on our streets last Saturday. The cap
tain is prosperous farmer of Willow
Grove this county, and before the June
drawing of this well-know Lottery
something seemed to tell him that he
should make small investment, which
he did by handing Johnny Roedel, the
clerk of the Str Valley Rell. couple of
dollars, iwith instructions as above
not knowing any other living man in
the transaction. When Roedel got to
MiddlepOrt, Ohio, he added three doll
lars to the above amount and forward
ed it to the company and in due time
received five tickets, two of which he
handed to Capt. Williamson, one these
being No. 1915, which entitled
him TO one-tenth of the capital prize OF
$4,000, which amount he has received
by sBank of RavenswoodAW Va, from

That is indeed a new feature al
agricultural exhibitions. The man.
ayers of the Giles county fair de.
serve to succeed. Surely a more
persistent or unselfish effort has
never been made. They have
worked year after year to make us
good fair with a perseverance
that deserves our admiration. and
we all should help them. Not on
ly the members of the different
committees that have been appoint
ed but every man woman and child
in our county should contribute
something to this enterprise. The
object is good one and appeals to
US all $40 get our Fair Association
out of debt" That is what the di-
rectors want. Now while these
committees were appointed in some
instances without being consulted
yet it is a duty that feel sure that
every one will cheerfully perform.
The selections we're good, nearly
every man named being the very
best man in his neighborhood for
the work. l feel sure that they
will respond. 1 for one feel proud
of being chosen to assist in the
work, and the people may feel as
sured that my section of country
will not be behind in giving. Now /
would suggest that each committee
meet, .and organize and elect
chairman who should divide the
work among the different members
so that every part of their territory
may have chance to help along
with the good work.
Although it may seem some
time until the 2Sth (the day the
fair begins yet the time will soon

What Shall the Basis Bel

The basis of representation usu-
ally adopted by democratic conven-
tons is the last vote for governor.
The supreme judges vote is not
used because it occurs only once in
eight years. We do not see why it
may not be used next Monday, see
ing that is the very latest demo-
cratic vote. Many men who voted
in the Bate election are not living
here now and many others have
come in since, and the judges vote
Is therefore the latest and truest re-
cord of democratic strength in each
district. We append both votes.
We give each district one vote for
each fraction nearest %. The ta-
BILE shows what the vote of each
district would be under either ba-

Many pupils have not attended
the public school because of the
want of a department of music, Fol
the convenience of those Mrs. w.
A. Paisley will begin next Monday
to teach class there. 1t is not a
department of the school and pu-
pills will be required to pay tuition
as DO part of the school fund can
be applied to this purpose. Mrs
Paisley is an accomplished musI
clan and q good teacher, and the
department OF music under heI
management will be an attractive
feature of the school.
