POLITELY PERSONAL.
The Memphis Commercial Talks With
Clarksville Finanoiers.

The Bankers convention is now
in session at Memphis and some of
the GAINESVILLE bankers are coming
in for a good share of notoriety.
The Memphis Commercial gives a
biographical sketch of John w.
Faxon, of the Farmers & Merchants
bank, and pronounces him one of
the most level headed men in the
body.
Referring to d. N. Kennedy, of
the Northern bank, the Commercial
says; cd. n. Kennedy, president of
the Northern Bank of Tennessee at
GAINESVILLE, is the patriarch of the
convention, and his white hair and
beard give him very distinguished
and venerable appearance. The al
loted term of his life, three score
years and ten, has been his, and from
his appearance it will be many years
before the grim reaper claims him
for his own. For forty-five years he
has been in the banking business,
and the bank of which he is presi-
dent has been in existence for thirty
six years, and is the only one in
the State that was in business before
the war. Mr.. Kennedy was member
of the Legislature from Montgomery
county in 1861, and also represented
the same county in the constitutional
convention of 1870.

to the residence of Geo. Cooke, on
Main street, where an elegant recep
ton was rendered. The invited
guests were the immediate friends of

PORT ROYAL POINTERS.
A Newsy Letter From Regular Cor
respondent.


Mrs. M. Weldon and Miss Carrie
Morgan, of Ky, spent last week
with Mrs. Sidney Williams, of
Woodford. Miss Morgan is the
youngest sister of Mrs. Williams and
won the hearts of the Woodford peo-
pie, who had the pleasure of meeting
her.-Mr. and Mrs. ]. HI. Achey,
Of Omar, had quite a number of
friends and relatives to spend Sunday
with them. Among them we would
mention Mrs. S. Ramey and two
daughters, Misses Lizzie and Georgia
of Cllrksville, (he two latter now
teaching in district No. 81 Mr.. and
Mrs. j. II. Rosson. The remains
of little Eddie Langford, youngest
daughter Of Mrs. w. Allsbrooks,
(nee Mrs. Langrord) were disintered
last week, and removed to a more
desirable portion of the burying
ground at the old homestead. Little
Eddie died a number of years ago.
Mrs. Allsbrooks moved to Adams
Sta. last week leaving her interest
ing and picturesque home on Par
sons creek. 1t was once the home
of Gov. Blount, one of the first gov
ernors of Tennessee, and later on
owned and occupied by the late Col.
Jn0. r. Elliott, father of Mrs. Ais
brooks. Col. Elliott was a gentle
man of rare traits Of character, fine
linancier, and died wealthy.-Mrs.
w. N. Gaines and Mrs. w. A.
Bobbett, were grieved to hear few
days ago, of the death of very dear
relative of Charleston, Mr.. j. w.
Bellamy, who died of hermaturia.
Mr.. Bellamy made frequent visits to
his Tennessee and Kentucky Cela
tives. For a number of years he
was editor of the Charleston News,
but at the time of his death, edited
the Tallehatchie Messenger, was an
intelligent gentleman of genial man
ners, and fine PERSONAL appearance.
While coming from GAINESVILLE
last week, team belonging to d.
R0sson, OF Omar, ran away on
Grant Hill; barrel of salt rolled
from the front of the wagon, against
one of the mules breaking its hind
leg. Dr. w. S. Elliott splintered the
limb and the mule may recover, and
be Of some value. The accident Oc-
CURED within few steps of where
Mrs. Reding and children were so
seriously hurt by pair of runaway
horses two summers ago. And only
Il few years before that, a barrel of
salt rolled from the wagon and killed
the driver, (old Uncle Elijah Will
kins) near the same spot. We do
not wonder at it being called the
"wagoners grave yard" for surely it
seems a fated spot.
M. II. Keele wishes kow if any
of the LEAF-CHRoNICLE readers
ever saw a black quail? He saw one
on his farm some time ago it was
also seen by T. S. Hamlet and w.
Il. Parks. If Mr.. Keele succeeds in
capturing it, he will send it as a Curl
osity to some institution.

Special to the Leaf-Chronicle.l
NASHVILLE, October 24.-W. d.
Hyers, who killed his wife near Leb
anon yesterday, committed suicide
in Jail at that place last night by
hanging himself to the grating OF
his cell.
In to-day's American the particu-
lars of the killing alluded to in the
above special are graphically por-
trayed. The facts in the case are
about as follows:
On September IS Mrs. Flyers left
her home in Franklin, KY, presum-
ably on visit TO her mother, who
lives near Rome, Smith county. AT
the same time Geo. Ditmore, prom
inent citizen of Franklin, also disap-
peared for time, and it was current
ly rumOred that he and Mrs. Hyers
had left together.
Be this as it may, the next heard
from Mrs. Hyers was about week
ago, when her husband found her at
her fathers home. Hyer5 took his
wife and child to Gallatin and, tell
ing them that he would return in a
few minutes, left them at a boarding
house. After waiting all day for her
husband, Mrs. Hyers took the train
for Franklin and found him on
board. He took a seat beside her
and asked her where she was going.
She replied to Franklin. He
told her she should never get
off that train alive. She paid no
attention to his threat, but he evil
IDENTIFY meant what he said, for as
the train whis led tor Franklin died
away pistol shot rang through the
car, followed by the screams of the
woman. Flyers had fred pistol at
his wife, but she grabbed his arm in
time to unsteady his deadly aim,
and the ball grazed her clothing and
passed out OF the n window. Amid
the excitement of the passengers
Flyers made his escape.
Flyers met his wife at Lebanon last
evening on her return from her
fathers and took her to toll-gate
near by. The tolI-gate keeper was
dispatched to Lebanon for Mrs
Hyers trunk and during his alb
sence the crime was committed. The
woman s throat was cut from ear to
ear with common pocket knife, the
blade about 8 inches in length.
The jugular vein was severed pro
ducing instant death. Hyers was
rrested and lodged in Jail and last
night committed suicide as stated in
the above special.
