LiUely- Grib6Le.

A fitting close for the happy holi~
day season was the marriage on the
evening Of Tuesday, Dec. 3lst, of
Mr. Joe. Nj. Lively to Miss Ellen
Gribble, which event was solemnized
at the home of the brides parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel Gribble, in this
place at Z: 30 O'Clock that evening.
DR.. G. Il. Stainback otficiated in tying
the Hymenial knot which linked the
destinies of this happy couple for bet
ter or for worse, and the home of the
bride was filled with her own and the
groom's friends to witness the cere-
mOny and wish them a happy vOy-
age through the life journey they
were just beginning together.
Both of the parties were raised in
McMinnville, and are well known to
everybody here, and anything we
could say in their praise would be
superfuous. The bride is endowed
with all the admirable qualities of
head and heart which will make her
a helpmate to her husband in the
truest sense Of the word, and the
groom is a member Of the firm of w.
S. Lively & Co., who by industrious
application of fine business qualifica-
tons have built up large and
prosperous business.
The wedding supper was beyond
description in bOuntifui abundance
and richness of savory viands, and
was most heartily relished by the
assembled guests. 1t always gives us
peculiar pleasure to chronicle the
union Of happy hearts, and we but
slightly express the feelings Of the
many friends Of this couple in wish
ing them long, peaceful and pros
porous life journey together.

Shelbyville Gazette: This may be
well called big year in Tennessee.
1t is election year and we expect to
see the political pot boiling over te-
fore these elections are over. In
August we are to elect county officers
and right on the heels of that election
comes the canvass for Governor, for
Congress and for members of the
Legislature. Hence we say that the
present year is to be one of interest to
Tennesseans. For this reason every
democrat should begin to nerve HIM
self for the coming contest. The re-
publicans are still silly enough to be-
lieve that they can capture Tonnes
see before the year closes. But they
will fall far short of this if the dem>
ocrats willlbut do their duty.

surprised when the host announced
that ten minutes more of time would
usher in the New Year. For a few
moments all was quiet, while some
were turning over in their minds
good resolutions for the New Year,
and others guessing at what it held
in store for them, and all regretting
that the evenings pleasure was draw
ing so near to close. Some were
apparently listening as if to catch
the faint farewell of the old year,
while others turned their thoughts
to the bright hopes of the new. But
the moments sped on, and soon it
was truly a "Happy New Year" a
supper of exquisite menu was served
during the evening, and heartily en-
ioyed by the merry party. The
happy watchers returned home in
the "wee sma hours" of old Times

But All That is Democracy.
Kansas City Times.

Kansas City Times.
Lower taxes, cut down the boun-
ties, put the Government under the
obligation to collect only what it
needs and account with a necessary
purpose for every cent it spends. No
other principle of national finance is
endurable. Our fathers and grand
fathers used to grumble when the
Government was collecting $SO,OOO,-
600 year. We have certainly not
more than twice as many people and
no more natural resources-perhaps
the steady exhaustion of our best
lands east of the Mississippi has
lowered our resources and we pay
into the Treasury five times as much
in taxes and to special classes ten
times as much in bounties. We are
making millionaires on the top and
squeezing labor and agriculture at
the bottom. Cut down both taxes
and bounties. Spend money only be-
cause there is some public occasion
for spending. The welfare of the
whole people is the single defense for
appropriatinga cent or imposing a
cents taxes.
