BY the gate is the old monument from
which the place is named. A female
figure whose stony form shows the raw
ages Of time, stands, surrounded by q
globe, q horn Of plenty, a child and
many other accessories, upon a pc
destal of good design. This work was
done I'm honor of Henry Clay, and
would do no discredit 10 the sculptor Of
tO-day-the uninitiated paSser-by,
pleased with its effect but possibly
wondering whether the stone lady is
a Hebe, a Minerva, or a Goddess Of
Liberty.
The house itself stands on rising
ground we'll shaded, but not buried, by
fine old trees. 1t is a good type Of col
onlal architecture, with the customary
hall through the middle. On the sec
ond floor, a somew hat novel feature, is
a ball room, long and narrow and light
ed by many deep-set windows. The an
tlQue mantle pieces 40 either end, the
escallOped tranSOmS OF The doors, and
and other signs OF by-gone days, give
rise to visions OF gOodly company,
where the bellies wore ShOrt-waiSted
gowns, heelleSS slippers, and their hair in
Grecian knots. And the beaux high
collared, tight-sleeved, SwallOw-tailed
coats, and the beaver large in size and
great in show.
The house is full Of odd bits of arch
itecture, some of them quaint, all of
them I'm good taste. And as we pass
through the fine old door, and down the
broad stone steps to the well-kept
grounds, we find another mark OF the
primitive life of early times in the old
suu-dial, Stin telling the truth-twice a
year-about the time Of day.
IN every direction the eye is carried
into the distance over lovely landscapes,

On the 10Th of August the third
quarterly meeting for the Mont
gomery circuit was held by Rev. w.
r. PEBBLES at Wylies chapel, and was
continued by Rev. j. II. Oakley, pas
tor, until Sunday %, but the almost
constant rain prevented the meeting
from being more than a revival
among the membership. Those who
attended the meeting listened to
some very fine preaching from the
presiding elder and pastor.
Mrs. Thos. Herndon, of GAINESVILLE,
spent several days at her fathers so
she could attend the meeting in her
old home nefghborhood.
Miss Militia Oakley, the beautiful

after dinner. This barbecue was
mainly gotten up by the people living
in the Sugar creek neighborhood, and
it was a perfect success as to quality

fixed on that question for the next
four or six years We need only a

why not proceed to give the people

question when we have nothing else
to do but attend to it?

"Sit down or will put you out"
said the Alliance president, Livings-
ton, to the governor of Georgia. A
delegate in the State convention
arose to protest against Livingston's
methods and prefer charges against
him. He was ruled out of order and
Gov. Northern arose to protest
against such tyranny, when he was
ordered to sit down. Livingston had
his henchmen there for the white
washing business, just as did Nc
Dowell in Tennessee, and would suf-
fer no investigation of serious
charges against him.

A Good Start.

Who that has read Ben Hur will
not remember the precautions taken
by MESSIAH to secure a good start in
the spirited chariot race, upon which
his all was staked 4; and as we run
the race of life but once, what parent
should not be anxious to provide for
his children every advantage that a
good start can secure. In this light
the selection of a primary school, in
which a child's individualities-
strong and weak points-can be
studied and checked or strengthened,
is matter of great importance, and
the writer, from personal knowledge,
cordially commends Miss Sallie How
ards school as one in which careful
training is given in the formation
of studious habits, good manners and
heightened principles.

We near of good Democrats drop

The organization is going to pieces as
fast as it well can. Democrats are
not so easily lead off after new, I'M
tried and doubtful schemes when
they see the danger of Repubicanism
and the force bill staring them in the
face on a divided party. Moreover,
honest men are not without the
blush OF shame in following man of
McDowell's calibre with his tricks
and corrupt ways so clearly exposed.
His policy OF carrying his point by
brag and buster will not win. He
did fairly well for the organization As
long as he stuck to its legitimate
aims, but when he undertook to con-
vert it into a political machine of
prescription and oppression for his
own ACKNOWLEDGMENT, he gave the
order terrible blow, RS we predicted
he would do.
He was boasting in an interview
not long ago that the order number
ed over 100000 in this State. The
facts as shown by the reports to the
State convention are that it numbers
about 1900. The convention reports
of 1890 showed then about $4,000
members in the State. Twelve
months ago the order numbered 100
in this county, and now there are
only 500 afiiliating members, and
there will not be 100 in the next
twelve months If the organization
must continue to be Mcdowell ma
