Misses Annie and Maggie Hen
derson, of Nashville, after spending

-Messrs. w. G. & B. f. Womack

posite the Warren House. Mr.. w.

"A communication from Evan
stone, the new postoffice recently
established in the north part of this
county, reached us too late for publ
cation last week. Communications
must reach us not later than Thurs
day of each week, and we would like
to have the ne,OS from every post
Office in the county, if only one or
two items on a postal card.
We like the way Sparta is max
ing evil doors dance to the music
with the new corporation. The cor
poration ordinances have only been
in force two or three weeks, yet
their city treasury has been replen-
ished with more than forty dollars
for fines. If people will violate
wholesome laws, let them be made
to pay for it. The fines help to pay
the marshal's salary, and save law
abiding people that much on taxa
ton.
Owing to the similarity Of the
firm names of Biles & Moffitt and
Morford q Biles, goods, letters, bills,
ETC., frequently get mixed, and to
avoid this Messrs Biles & Moffitt
have changed their firm name to
"McMinnville Hardware Co." At
tention is called to their new adver-
tisement on 4th page of this paper.
They have a large stock and a fine
selection of goods, all displayed in a
very attractive manner in their new
store room in the Opera House
building.
! The Nashville, Chattanooga & st
Louis Railway has just issued hand
some new map folder, showing the
location of all the battles of the wal
i between the States, 1861 to 1865. i
S gives the names and dates of all thu
: battles, together with list of thu
: National cemeteries, with the mum
Der of interments in each. The n. 4
., G. easily holds its place as the BLU
S Ribbon route of the South, and thi
y. folder, embracing as it does a fin
s. map and large volume of CONDENSED
l. history, is a striking example Q
= the enterprising management of thi
popular road.
