week. That something of interest has
been going on in upper republican cir

that it relates to general reorganiza-

DIR. J. B. Erwin, the "silYer-tOngued
orator of the Tennessee Conference,
preached the commencement sermon OF
the Culleoka Academy on June Z. The
sermon was good, suitable TO the Occas-
ion, and highly enjoyed by the large
congregation that was present to hear
him. He was onc6 our pastor.
On Tuesday morning at 9;3O, notwith-
standing the Indictment weather. many
attended the exercises of the school.
The recitations, plays, music, etc., were
creditably rendered. AT the close the
grades of the pupils were read, and we
take pleasure in announcing that MISS
Katie Henderson received the highest
average.
At eleven O'Clock Hon. L. z. Padgett
delivered the address, which every one
pronounced excellent.
The programme for Tuesday night
was varied and interesting throughout
but we will not attempt to even men
ton all the parts, for 1t would require
too much space. But some things we
must note. "rhe Fairies Revel,
played by six little girls, with Katie
Henderson as Queen, was beautiful.
Seeing the winged creatures tripping
over the stage, or kneeling under the
artificial lights, we could almost I'M
dgine ourselves really in the midst of
fairies, in whose existence we still have
lingering childish faith.
The debate was the principal feature
Of the evenings exercises. The .queS-
ton for discussion was "ResolVeo that
| the Negro should not be colonlzed by
the United States" The speakers Oh
the affirmative were Tom Stephens and
Burt Taylor, while Ed Henderson and
Will Moore were the speakers on the
negative, All the speeches were good,
and showed that the young men had
good minds, and had applied them
selves until they fully understood the
subjsct. The decision was made in IA
Vor of the negative, three of the Judges
l,a oil
for the Affirmative.
But Wednesday night was the night
of nights. In the roomy chapel OF the
Academy were four booths on raised
handsome lace curtains. nowerS and
artistic talent could make them. In
one apartment meats, tea ana cO1Ioe
were served, in another berries ana Ice
CT cam, in another ice-cream and sher-
bert, and in the fourth WAS found fruits
of ali kinds. These stands were pre-
sided over by England's Queen, her
Maids of Honor, Gen. and Lady wash
ington. In the center of tho large hall
was the rock walled woll, from which
Isaac and Rebecca filled pitchers with
Ice cold lemouade. One of the most at
tractive places Ito the unmarried people
at least) was the Gypsy's tent. Miss
Sallie SmiSor was the efortune-teller, and
we can't refrain complimenting her on
the excellent manner in which she
pIayed her part. Many (and we spec
the writer was among the number)
came from the tent feeling that they
had really had a peep into the future.
barbara was highly entertained,
during the exercises, in the hospiLable
home of w. r. Stephens. She found
him and his wife whole host within
themselves, and the little ones model
children.

"That is the most mysterious part of
the sad affair. This morning, when
Edgar was told Of the murder. he
turned very pale, reeled and would
have fallen to the ground had not sup
port been given him. Some of the ig-
norant beholdefs of this scene thought
his actions denoted guilt, and an officer
was summoned, who at once insisted on
searching his room. A razor, ON which
was several spots of blood, was found
concealed under the carpet, together
with an old suit of clothes belonging
to Edgar, which was bespattered with
blood. This was considered sufficient
evidence to warrant his arrest, and ne
now lies in Jail, charged with the awful
crime of murder. "Oh, Mr.. Ferguson

as my father left it tho night before.

Selected Suggestions.

USE ammonia in the water you wash
glass in.
IN baking cake butter neither tin nor
paper, and do not remove the paper till
the cake is quite cold.
For a cold on the lungs lay a cloth on
the chest which has first been wrung out
in boi ing water and sprinkled with tur-
pentine.
In serving chocolate shake a very
little cinnamon over the flied cup to
make tho beverage like the chocolate OF
Mexico and Havana.
THE eating-table should be set in a
light, airy room, moderately heated,
while the mental atmos phere should be
one of quiet and happy relaxation.
To FAsTEN steel blade which has
with rosin, then warm the part to be
adjusted, and insert slowly, pressing it
in firmly. Hold till it gets cold.
For rheumatism, take half glassful
Of lemon juice for ton nights Always
take it when & Htting into bed at night.
Wear flannel next to the skin, and in
cold weather sleep in warm blankets.
If the sirloin weighs twelve or fifteen
pounds, two and a half hours will be
sufficient to roast it in. Beef must hang
It least two days, its flavor is SO much
improved thereby.
A LITTLE powdered borax thrown into

Useful Hints.

Foe frieZes, nets have often been used
with good effect. draped in graceful folds
along the top of Il room or stretched di-
rectly upon the wall. They are used
very Largely for transom decorations or
as valanccS over windows or in alcoveS-
In using paregoric one drop for every
month of age for child under one year
should be the rule. As, for instance,
child five months old may take five
drops 1t is scarcely necessary to say
that paregoric should never be given u
child unless it is absolutely needed, as in
severe collie.
A SLIGHT burn should be tied up inn
mediately in baking powder laid upon
wet cloth. This vii, Usually prevent in
flammation. But if the wound does in
fame and become sore, bathe it with
equal parts of raw Iinseed oil and limo
water. After the inflammation is out,
heal with zinc salve, which can be pro-
cured from the druggist.
A VERY pa!e color in meat is sign
that the animal was poor in blood, and
that the meat is wanting in nutritive
qualities; the cause of the bloodlessness
may even have been some serious dis
ease. A deep reddish purple color shows
that the animal has not been killed, but
that it died natural death. A marble
like appearance, produced by layers OF
fat interposed between the fleshy fibers,
is possessed by none but good meat.
A TASTEFUL drapery for square
waSte-paper basket consists OF two fes-
toons of plush or satin: peacock blue is a
good choice. alternating with two deep
crocheted points of beige color or pale
blue macrame cord in wheels, or any
other pretty designs. and finished with
heavy tasseIs of the cord. Rosettes and
cords, both crotcheted. finish the top
and sides, and pompons of gathered plush
may also be introduced if desired.

of the family, proposed for nv hand,

But you shall never become the wife
of Edgar Merton while have life to
