The effect OF the message is injured
by its shrillness, and the appeal to

RY TOM AND ALEC.

Last Thursday we had one OF the
best rains that We have had for q
long time and just came in time TO
save early wheat and oats. Oats
would have done no good at all il it
ha not rained just when it did, q
great many say. We notice that
farmers are making use of their
times this week, fearing they will
get behind with their crops again.
Quite number of our commu-
nifty attended the quarterly meeting
that was in session at Sugar creek
10th and Goth inst.
We had no singing at the school
last Sunday on account of no lead
er. We did not learn the reas on
why he did not come.
Jas. Fox and fam lily were Wis.
ting friends and relatives on Shoal
creek last week.
Taylor Bivins of Sugar creek was
in our midst few days since. We
learn that Messrs. Sam and Will
Hancock and w. NJ. Beasley re-
turned from Iron City last week
where they had been engaged in
some work.
Holland Sandusky who went to
Texas a year or so ago, has re-
turned home again, very well salts
fed that Giles is The best place for
him, we believe.
An infant of Mr.. 10. Fitzpatrick
died last week on Shannon and was
inferred at the Hughes cemetery.
We sympathize with them in this
their sad bereavement.
We are glad to report Mr.. Cook
improving and hope to be able to
see him up again soon.
Uncle Jack Riggs, who has
been confined to his room for
long time, we are glad TO be able to
say, is improving very rapidly.
Edward Bivins who has been
right sick for several days has
about recovered.
Jay Sandusky has been been in
disposed this week and is unable TO
do any work. We have several
cases of mumps in our neighbor
hood this week.
The Sunday school at Hurricane
closed last Sunday, we learn to re-
vive % more soon.
We are to have wedding in
few days, Madam Rumor says. We
will probably have it to report in
our next letter. She is handsome
young lady of about 81 and he is
young widower of about 26 or 81.

Do the Fair Thing.

The following from the Obion
Democrat fits right here in Pulaski:
Have you a new enterprise that
you want to acquaint the public
with? Do yon want your business
noticed? Do you want to buy or
sell anything, or have you any bust
ness or profession that you want
the public to know about? Then
have it published in the newspaper
and pay for it. Don't wheedle
around the editor and have the gall
to ask him to give you free notice
If you do you are playing the
part of dead beat TO that extent
You mig t as we'll ask the hote
keeper to give you meal. If s
| newspaper notice is worth anything
you should p y for it; if it is worth
nothing don't ask the publisher te
put it in. The space of newspa
per is it's stock in trade-what i
makes its money out of and should
be paid for by those who use it
Some people, many people, have
curious idea of what newspaper il
for. They seem to think that it i
run for the free accommodation o
the public. They display gall o
an ignorance that is inexcusable
Never ask 9 newspaper to prin
anything for your benefit unless yo'
mean to pay for it. We mean t
charge for everything in the natur
of an advertisement that goes i
this paper, unless it be such advel
tisements of enterprises as we voI
: unfairly give, It is enough tor
paper to advertise the town gratis
it cannot afford to advertise th
business of individuals for nothing
Remember this, some of you VIII
! read this.

BY CHEEKY JOE AND RlENzI.

Well, our commencement has
come and gone, and we were not
as nervous and scared as badly as
we anticipated, hence we've learned
a good lesson, never to cross a
bridge before we reach it. The on.
ly humiiiating thought that bur-
dens our minds is that our exercis-
es were not equal to the magnifi-
cent and delicious dinner which was
spread in the beautiful grove and
to which all did ample Justice ;
therefore we will return our sim
cere thanks to the good women Of
Bohemian and promise to do better
in the future. The only disturb.
ance during the day was a perfect
deluge of rain which came like an
unwelcome visitor to US, but was
badly needed by our farmers.

We are panied to announce the
death of an infant child of Mr.. and
Mrs. Joe Fitzpatrick. "Suffer little
children to come unto me for of
such is the kingdom OF heaven" are

for it has only joined the infantile
throng that have preceded it. 1t

An Affidavit,

Personally appeared before me,
a Justice of the Peace for Giles
county, Tenn, the undersigned
members of the Silver Snood Fish
ing Club, who make oath and say
that on no occasion and nowhere
have they ever used dynamite or
seen IT used for the destruction of
fish, and they especially swear that
the accusation that either or all of
them used dynamite for such pur=
poses in Sugar Or Shoal creeks ei-
ther this year, last year or any 9th.
er year is absolutely and unquali-
fiedly false, that they had none
with them and that they detest the
use of it for such purpose.

ness to him. He told with as much
appearance of truthfulness as he il
capable of assuming, that a few
years ago while fishing down or
Shoal creek he went out on the
mill dam with only one minnow il
his bucket. With this he soor
caught a big red-eye and upon land
ing the fish it disgorged the min
now he had baited with an ex
ira one, both alive. He put one o
the minnows on again and the mex
catch surrendered three live min
nows. This sort Of business wa
continued for an hour or 80 ant
when he left he had a fine string o
fish and bucket full of fine liv
minnows. We repeat, we love

legitimate means in their power to have
the objects of said petition carried Oul
at the next term of our court.
