EDITOR HERALD:--Fourl long months
have elapsed since we last took our
pencil in hand, preparatory TO meeting
the many interesting correspondents OF
the old HERALD. Many important and
many Insignificant incidents have taken
place since then, but we will not "bore"
the readers with the Insignificant ones.
If there is anything in solitude and
quietness calculated to enlighten the
brain, we should make most brilliant
display of our literary attachments this
afternoon, as all have gone abroad and
left us "chief cook and bottle washer"
Now then we will get to the news of the
dav.
There was preaching at both the
Methodist and Presbyterian Churches
Sunday morning, also at the Methodist
in the evening. Our first quarterly
meeting was held Monday and Monday
evening by our presiding elder, Bro.
Collier.
Mr.. Turner Nance, of CornersvIlle, is
visiting friends and Relatives here.
Little Pride and Lindsay Tomlinson
have the measles.
Miss Clabie Taylor, our gifted
Buckle, where she will remain for an
indefinite time. She will also visit
friends and relatives in Nashville and
Franklin, on her return home.
Miss Ella Henderson, who is now
teaching school at Franklin and Mr..
Tom Stephens, who is attending school
at the same place, will spend Thanks
giving with the loved ones at home.
We are glad to have Mr., VIII Moore
with us again, after an absence of three
or four months In Arkansas. VIII Is
one of our most popular young men,
especially among the fair sex.
Mrs. NJ. X. Abernathy is visiting her
daughter, Miss Leila, who is teaching
school at College Grove.
w are sorry to report that Mrs. DR..
Williamson Is improving very slowly,
Little Burke Wilkes has been quite
sick but is much better now.
Miss Lou COckrill has returned from
Hurricane, where she has been teach
ing painting.
The choir met at Mrs. Joe TomlInson's
last Friday night.
Mrs. +. 4. Burke has returned from
an extended visit to friends at Hurri-
cane.
Messrs. Ed and John Withers spent
last Friday in your city.
| A number of our brRvest lads took
| famous coon hunt few nights since.
| We would like TO give you full ac-
count of it, but for fear il would not
| interest some, we will decline. Any
way, three of them returned by half-
past seven; whether because the moon
hadn't risen, or they got scared or
caught a coon, we cannot tell.
! The "SOcial Spelling Bee" that IS TO
| be given by the Ladies Aid Society
Thanksgiving night, will be at the resi-
dence OF w. X. Stephens, instead OF the
| her last letter. Come one, come all, 1
assure you TO spend an enjoyable even
| ing.
TO a certain young gentleman who
speaks of advertising for a cat, viii
say that have six, and will be only too
glad to let him have one. Not a single
one is named Mary "(or Loutie either),p
but they are not at all tender-hearted
and viii not die of grief II you change
their names forty times a piece. AS 20
peLLing they are accustomed to nothing
stronger than decisive kicks "Gn broken
doses)," when they insist on making
themselves too conspicuous.
News is very scarce. It seems as II
everybody and everything Is too busy
to allow anything To happen.
! Well-we have come to the conclusion
that solitude and quietness doesn't have
much TO do with anyone getting of
something brilliant. 1t does Lot In our
case anyway, so with best wishes 10 the
HERALD, l am as ever, "BETsr."
