CampelI's Station:

DIR. Frank White has had a terrible
mental strain upon him for the last ten
days or more. His father has a very
aggravated case of the "La Grippe;" his
little niece, Mamie Lee Kincaid, is
down with the typhoid fever, and Mary
Redus, coloreG, the cook, is down with
a bad case of pneumonia. In addition
to his patients, he has had to look after
his fathers business at the store, the
X. X. Express and Post Offices. The
three sick ones are thought to be better
at this writing.
The "La Grippe" seems to be spread
ing all over the country 1t is a good
worse in some families than others.
j. r. Perklnson's family in this place
are nearly all in bed with it. Measles
has bOken out in the neighborhOOd. B.
F. Hoobs' family and Sam Wells
family have them. The measles were
introduced here by parties going to
Nashville and getting them on return
ing. John III. Martin, a young man
from this place, who recently went on
the road as a breaksman, is now down
with measles az his boarding house in
n Nashville.
The r. X. has made a change in their
section foreman at this place. Mr..
is now the foreman. John Shields has
moved back to Prospect.
Our farmers are rather inclined to
plant largely this year Os Irish Potatoes.
They have one trouble confronting
them-seed. They are ver.y scarce and
high. A great many who anticipate
planting big crop will necessarily cut
down their acreage on account of the
high price of seed.
John X. Gracy, his mother and his
daughter Annie, left last week for Flo
rida. He will be back in about two
weeks, but will leave his mother and
daughter to spend the balance of the
winter. MAURY COUNTY.

The st. Bernard Dos And The Lamb

A lady had a valuable 81. Bernard Of

depair. She expected that her dog would
fsll upon the lamb; but having in the past
had such experience with pets, she said
that II this catastrophe was to happen, she
did not propose to have it postponed IN
n she became deeply attached to the new
conner. and 40 deliberately led the lamb
up to the dog. said to him that 1t was her
lamb. and directed him to watch it. The
dog looked at her rather wisIfully. evident
ly requesting permission to tear the pretty
innocent, but she sternly shook her head,
and departing left the pair together on the
lawn.
She is willing TO admit how that the
trial hiss proved successful that she had
no idea that it would, and that she expect
ed to find the lawn strewn with the dis
m en- bered fragments Of the lamb. when
few hours later she returned. however.
the dog was found TO have taken the lamb
into his especial favor aud under his es

he followed il about. and seemed to have

In short, the lamb and dog became the
closest Of friends. and as long as the Two

Tho Voice Of q New Yorker.

Mr.. Flowers speech at Harlem last
night told In plain words how the city Of
New York was cheated out Of $500 .0O0.0 900 by
the Republican party under the domination
OF THOMAS c. PLAT. and how tho same
maiign leadership thwarted the inter-
ests OF the city In tho matter OF
rapid transit. the census. and reappor-
tionmsnt. Mr.. FLOWER spoke from full
knowledge of the facts. and they were facts
of immediate concern to every man In his
audience. Tho questions which hc dis
cussed were. as he said. home questions.
They interest every man In this town who
has anything to sell. be 1t real estate. or
merchandise. or labor.
Mr.. FLOWER spoke last night not for HIM
SELF and tho Democratic party. but for the
city and tho State. insllted and injured by
those who have put politics before patriot
ism. His speech was that Of n New Yorker
defending New York.
All tho sounding brass and tinkling GYM
balls OF the Republicans cannot make the
citizens Of New York deaf to tho call Of
patriotism and duty. There are many
louder orators than Mr.. FLOWER: but the
grasp Of facts. the honesty OF purpose. and
tho devotion to the Empire State manifest
in this Harlem speech give 1t persuasive
ness which no amount OF mere lingual glib
ness could reach.
Vote for FLOWER and SHEEHAN.
