THE CROW FAMILY.
Es Crow. Old Grow. Boiled Crow.
Him Crow Plain Grow.

Mr. Schofield, financial agent, wants the
people of Abbevillc to issue somc bonds anu
place them in eScrotc, for the Denent OIL inc
Cumberland Gap road.
Our education in foreign languages was
very much neglected in our youth, and We
don't know the variety of the pestiterous
fowls to which es crow belongs. We don't
like the name. 1t may be suggestive that
we will Ihave much. old crow little later on
in life.
In our youth we imbibed apreJudlce against
ali crows, and we have no fondnesS for es
crow now. Long ago boys went cunning FOL
all the crows.
We desire to be put on record as opposed, to
the tax, until our people are made reasonably
safe in voting away their money.

ing from wrong, as in knowing the
precisely right. a quality of eX-

developed by sturdy Western

DIBRELL, Tenn, April y, 1885,
Last Saturday, the DIST inst, Mr..
Samuel Womack, ut his home in this
county, celebrated his G2d birthday
by giving his children and grand.
children good dinner, Il custom that
he has not failed to keep up for the
last ten or twelve years with but one
or two exceptions. The day was
beautiful one. Nature did all that
was necessary to make the occasion
enjoyable. BY special invitation my.
self and good lady wereon the premi.
ses a little before noon and found the
whole family of children and grand
children assembled; every one SEEM
ed to be full of glee and enjoyment.
Mr.. Womack and wife seemed to en-
joy the occasion to overfowing. Just
at noon the announcement was made
that dinner was ready, and all par
took to their satisfaction. Mr.. Joe
Pennington kept the company well
entertained while at dinner by his
many witty sayings.
After all were through with dinner
Mr.. Womack had the whole com.
pany to form themselves in the front
porch, and made each of his three
daughters and three daughters-in-law
present of nice dress. The sons
made their father also some nice pres
ents. The little folks and all seemed to
enjoy themselves to the utmost, and
will no doubt long remember Satur-
day, April 2lst. Mr.. Womack has
lived where he now lives for near
forty years, is thrifty farmer, good
manager, has raised large family of
children, Of whom there are now liv-
ing three sons and three daughters,
all married save the youngest son.
He has twenty-five grandchildren.
Mr.. T. B. Potter and wife, of
Smithville, were here yesterday on
their way home from Viola where
Mrs. Potter had been visiting her
daughter, Mrs. +. II. Jones for some
days.
Several of the delegates to the Pres
bytery at Shiloh, this county, were
by here last Friday. We hear that
the attendance was quite large.
Mr.. Dock Murphy and family will
move to Temperance Hall next week
1 expect that some of the neighbors
boys will be going too.
We had the pleasure of mixing
with many of our old friends and ac-
quaintances at Green College on last
Sunday. 1t was pleasure indeed tC
take many of them by the hand in
token of our friendship and former
days acquaintanceS.
