o'clock.
All the people are cordially invited
to attend the lectures of this distin-
guished gentleman. All these meetings
will be public except the second day of
each District Alliance, which will be
devoted to drilling the officers of
County Alliances throughout the Dis
trict, all of whom are expected to be
present. Every member who is anxious
to become familiar with the UNwRITTEN

District Alliance. And it is absolutely
necessary for every County Lecturer

THE CRYSTAL BUTTON

Or, The Adventures of Paul PrognOsis
in the Forty-Ninth Century. By
Chauncey Thomas. Edited by George
Houghton. 16mo, $1.25.
"This story" says the Boston TrGUeL-
Ter, was written in the years between
1872 and 1878, and although having
scheme to Nh. Bellamy's book, is en-
tirely different, dealing mainly with
mechanical and material develop
ment. The author is especially fitted
to write for mechanical progress, being
one of the ablest mechanics and in
ventors of the present time. The all
important point of the book is it's
theory of the simple but effective
means by which the world finally at
tains a higher civilization. The book
will create a marked sensation it gives
the readers a more attractive world of
the future thanhas yet been presented.
THREE MONTH WITH THE NEW YORK
HERALD.-CAPT. A. MINOTT WRIGHT.
The author Whose nOmd de plume is
appropriate searching for an explana-
ton of the queer ideas that foreigners
have of Americans, recollects that he
has seldom found in foreign ports any
of the journals Of the United States,
save the New York Herald, and the
pages of this newspaper read carefully
during the long hours of a hOmeward
voyage furnish the desired clue.
In commenting upon the diverse and
Oftentimes contradictory statements
that all become so familiar with, he
has given some very novel and clever
views of topics of national interest
such as reform, the labor and race ques-
tions, weaving around this more sub
stantial portion of his book a running
commentary, of amusing and well
placed satire, on daily events. His
comments upon the different legislative
measures for the benefit of sailors and
shipping are particularly interesting,
and should be read by all who haYe
the patriotic feeling that our flag ought
to be found in every port.
The captain, though an evident pro-
t~ectionist, makes it clear that a more
unrestricted foreign trade would be a
fair substitute for the Subsidy bill.
No one can read this book without
acknowledging that a looker-on does
see very much more of the game, and
that the opinions expressed lack neither
strength nor ability, in spite of the
authors decided originality of express
sion. Price, in cloth, $1.25. VIM.

VIOLA,

Notwithstanding the very incem.
ent weather, the holidays have been
very pleasantly enjoyed in this com>
munity. The entertainment at Mr..
T. f. Mabry's will be happily re-
membered by oil present; also the
one at Mr.. J. A. McColloch's last
Monday night.
A splendid supper was given at
Mr.. Drew Kings Tuesday evening,
and we understand that they tipped
the light fantastic till the wee small
hours.
Mr., G. r. Gwyn Of Tullahoma,
spent Christmas day in Viola with
his parents.
Mr.. w. G. Britain of McMinnville,
spent few days visiting relatives in
Viola, returning Tuesday.
Messrs Willie and Rance Mabry of
Birmingham, Ala, spent the holidays
with their fathers family.
The citizens of Viola have got on
another moving spell. Mr.. j. G.
Mansfield and family have gone to
Pikeville. w. M. ThaXton has
moved back to his farm. DR.. w. III.
Moore and l. C. Garretson are also
changing residences.
Mr.. 7. f. Ramsey and family OF
Winchester, were visiting his fathers
family last week.
Sim Moore and Ed. Ramsey made
flying trip to Hillsborough last Sun
day.
Mr.. l.. r.. Sewell of Nashville, ar,
rived last Saturday on a visit to his
mother, remaining till Tuesday. He
delivered two very interesting SER
mons at the Christian church Sunday
and Sunday night.
Rev. NJ. j. Mabry is sweetly
smiling over the existence OF Il new
boy at his house.
Prof. Babbitt and John Ramsey
went to NashvilleIast Saturday.

The Pdndects.

One of the most enjoyable enter
tainments of the holidays was that
given by Miss Lula Smart, last Mon
day night, to the PSndects, (our local
historical club). Early in the even
ing the band wagon was flying thro'
our streets, gathering up the eXpec-
tant members, and as the western
horizon assumed its most becoming
blush for the kisses given it by the
retiring sun, the wagon had received
its freight Of bright and happy girls,
with a man or two sandwiched in
between, and we were off for the hos
pitable country home Of the father OF
our hostess, Mr.. w. ii. Smart,
With laughter, merry jest, and an
amusing incident or two, we were
whirled over the intervening miles
and soon welcomed by bright lights
from innumerable doors and win
dows, and brighter smiles from the
young ladies waiting to receive us.
Miss Lula was assisted by her sisters,
Mrs. James Walling of Sparta, Miss
Sidney, and her cousin, Miss Belle
Smart. The hours flew by on rapid
wing, supper was announced and we
filed into a feast that would have
gladdened the heart of that most fas-
tidiOus epicure of lost and ruined
Pompeii. There were present Mr..
and Mrs. w. H. Smart, Misses Lula
and Sidney Smart, Miss Belle Smart,
Mrs. James Walling of Sparta, Mr..
and Mrs. j. G. Mcclure, Miss Fannie
Fisher, Miss Clara Stainback, Miss
Lena Womack, Miss Ruby Paine,
Miss Bette Smithson, Miss Evie
Claire MorfOrd, Charlie Fisher, Tom
Smart, and Joe Morford. Ye scribe
and every member of our club wish
for this happy home a joyous and
prosperous New Year, and may the
pleasure given to us on last Monday
night be as bread cast upon the wa
tiers that during the year 1891 will be
returned to them an hundred fold.

4 Pleasant Occasion.

Last Tuesday evening quite mer~
ry crowd of young folks, consisting of
some ten or twelve couples, laid
away the tolls and cares of this life
for a brief season, and wendell their
dark and dreary way out to the coun-
try home of Miss Lima King, there
to engage in the pleasure of an old
fashion dance. The crowd report q
most pleasant time. Perhaps the
elegant supper which was laid was
not the least interesting part of the
program for some Of the boys, judg-
ing from the way they made it look
tired and sick.
At 3 O'Clock in the morning, the
crowd, after thanking their merry
hostess for the pleasure she had af>
forded them, and wishing her a
pleasant goodnight, put themselves
once more under the keeping of Mr..
Roach, and hied themselves home
ward, reaching here just as another
day was freed from the womb of Flu,
ternity, little more tired, but none
the less merry a crowd than that
which started the night before. f.

tOrlans In After Life.
"What becomes OF our valedictorians
Is almost as interesting question as
what becomes of our pins said a
famous physician. Ever since little
incident that happened to me few days
ago | have been bordering over the sub
ject, and as soon as l have the leisure l
mean to look into it more closely. Twen-
ty-five years ago, when / was fresh
man at Columbia, my brother and ! at
tended the graduating exercises of the
college. The king pin among the grad
uating class was-well, never mind the
name; it might embarass the valedictor-
ian of whom | want to speak Well
call him Isaac J. Morris. Well, Morris
had won all the prizes in sight. He was
the head of his class and was appointed
valedictorian How my brother and
envied him as he stood on the platform
with the honors fairly showered down
on his head, and almost buried under
the floral tributes of his friends and adj
mirers. And his speech I thought l
had never listened to any thing half so
grand.
That fellow will be President of tho
United States some day." remarked my
brother between one of the bursts of APP
plause that greeted Morris efforts, and
| fully echoed his sentiments. Well, l
lost sight of the promising valedictorian
entirely in the struggle for existence,
though my brother and often discussed
him and his splendid prospects. The
other day a rather frowsy-loolling man
walked into my Office and after stating
that he was a lawyer, said that he had
volunteered to call on me in behalf of
one of his friends who wanted some sort
OF place in one of the hospitals with
which | am connected. He said his
name was Isaac j. Morris. remem-
bered him in fash. Somehow tho
valedictory incident had buried itself in
my mind. He was certain, he said, that
he had never met me, and had only
como to my Office because his friend was
unable to call in person. recalled the
graduating day, twenty-five years ago,
to him, and asked him if he wasn't the
brilliant valedictorian of that occasion.
lie said he was.
81 suppose you have gathered wealth
and honor galore in your profession? I
said. well, no; not exactly he re-
piled. Aren't You Judge at least?"
still persevered. "A Judge? No."
and he laughed cynically; 81 am the
managing clerk in a Brooklyn lawyers
Office. l do all the hard work-all the
grubbing-and esteem myself lucky if
make living | am in debt, and live
on the outskirts of Brooklyn with fam
lily of four boys, whom l can hardly
clothe and educate. The only thing I've
got is responsibility. l have not any
bad habits and never had any,"
"Well, | could hardly believe it," con-
Guided the doctor, because more
promising, hard-working fellow had
never been seen at the time he gradu-
ated. l guess he burned out too soon,
like some colts that are very promising,
but break down without any apparent
cause under saddle. l wonder how
many Of the really brilliant college men,
and particularly the envied valedictor-
ians, ever make position for them
selves in the world. IN. Y, Sun.

Oh, What A Cough.

Will you heed the warning. The
signal perhaps of the sure approach of
that more terrible disease, COnsump-

never fails. This explains why more
than Il Million Bottles were sold the

Whooping Cough at once. Mothers
do not be without it. For Lame
