Prof. KeIIy's Night School.

Prof. 7. B. Kelly has started a night
school, designed especially to give
Young men and ladies, who cannot or
will not attend other schools, thor
ough business course in hook keep
iug and kindred branches. Professor
Kelly is an expert accountant-the
equal OF the best in the land. Not
Only that, but he knows how to i'm
part his knowledge to others with
rare facility. His school affords an
opportunity fol all, no matter how
busy they may be during the business
hours of the day No young man is
we'll equipped for business III any line
until he has thorough knowledge of
book-keep ping. II he ever expects TO
rise higher than mere clerk, ever
expects to do business for himself, tie
will never he sure of bis ground I'M
less he knows something of the sci
enoe Of accounts. Youth is the sea
son for preparation, and if you dis
regard this opportunity you Will
probably net have another. You have
at YOUR own doors all the advantages
offered by business colleges any
where-colleges at which a course
would coat you ten times as much,
perhaps. If you neglect this chance,
YOU will regret it hereafter.

Unique and Beautiful.

The entertainment given Sunday
night by the children of the First
Cumberland Presbyterian Church
was one of jthe most beautiful and
unique events, of the kind ever wit
messed in Columbia, and deserves
more than the passing notice to
which want OF space confines us.
The programme cOnsis ed of music,
recitations and other attractions, ana
every detail was carried out to per-
lection. The success Of the occasion
was due in largest measure to Mrs.
H. l.. Wheeler who had drilled the
children with so much care.

Death of Mr.. J. F. Rankin.

Mr.. J. Fleming Rankin died at his
residence on the Pulaski pike Satur-
day evening about 5 o'clock. MIR.
Rankin was an extremely old man,
butthe immediate cause of his death
was heart trouble, which attacked
him only the day before the end
came. The funeral services, con-
Quoted by Rev. F. b. Webb, were
held at the residence yesterday after
noon about 2:30 o'clock, and were
attended by great cOncOurse of his
friends. His remains were consigned
to the dust in Rose Hill Cemetery.
MI. Rankin's family were among
the original settlers of this country,
and he has lived here nearly, II not
quite, his whole life. He was not a
member of any church, but was q
praying Christian man. He was one
of the most substantial and respected
citizens in our midst.

The PAGER.

1t is amusing to see the way some
of our papers treat the PAGER. They
will devote the first pages to trOtters,
the next to races, the next to editor
ials on trOtters, wind up the last with
turf notes on trOtters, then some per
sonal notes on advertisements and
stick in line or two on PAGERS at
the last.
1t reminds us very much Of the ne
gro saying; "whitefolks first, dogs
next, and negro last" The side
wheeler may be last in the journals
but re Isn't always last in race-no
not always, my son. y synopsis OF
races this year, shows that the des-
pissed fellow is decidedly in the front
row. What trotting horse IS there
to-day alive that any sensible man
would wager a counterfeit bill on
that he could beat Pointer, Jib, Mas
cot or Guy? There isn't a tTotter on
earth to-day that could beat either
of them, unless it be Nancy Hanks,
and it is hardly possible she could
do it. No trotter living has ever
shown the racing form that has been
three years at the will Of Hal
Pointer.
WHY then this great difference
| Isn't The PAGER the faster horse? IL
! he not as game and quick and stylish?
Is his gait not easier, his IEoUiOn
prettier and his staying qualities as
| good as the trotters? These are ques-
lions that may safely be answered in
! the Affirmative.
Man is hardly an animal; he lie
more truly 4 parrot. He merely
lives to copy after others. The Chris
tian religion would have been in no
need OF missionaries to-day if il bad
been started by the Prince Of Wales

WHAT WILL re DONE.
The Maury County Farmers 4 breeders
Association, in a Bad Way Finan-
tan

ClatiN.
At their second meeting on Satur-
day, the Msury County Farmers and
Breeders Association heard the lie
port OF the committee which had
been selected TO submit certain tabu-
lated statements of the financial COu-
dlIiOu OF the association. A motion
wss made 10 assess the stock holders
twenty per cent of the face of their
holdings 10 pay the floating deoI, but
a majority OF the stock WAS not repre-
SENT q. and il was agreed TO address
a circular letter to each member, ask
ing hlm to send his vote on the propo-
sitI"n TO the Secretary.
The floating debt amounts TO about
81 So, and the stock to about $4,000
Only anuuI 5000 OF the 81 800 ha- ueeu
contracted Lh's year. $3.50 of il
was spent for land tnaJ mad been
previously bought. Besides this
floating debt, however, theie Is a
bonded debt of ~ ,500 on the property
of the assoc alton.
The estimated value of the property
is $2l 900 If the stockholders Will
no submit to an assessment, 1t rs
probable that the entire property
will be sold to private individuals,
and. OF course. will bring much less
than its real value.

FORMING IN LINE.
A Grand Democratic Rally at the Court
House Saturday Night.
\ Cleveland and Turney Club Organized
Amid Great Enthusiasm.

The Democratic rally at the court
house Saturday night WAS al occa-
sion To warm up the cookies OF the
Oldest followers of j. 1feIsOn.
Sucu a rousing, rollicking, irrepres-
sible crowd as ii was, has not wahed
the echoes OF those gloomy walls in
this many a long dsy. The lion of
Democracy alluded 10 ia most felicit-
Gus terms by one OF toe eloquent
speakers, has indeed oeen aroused
and is ready to do battle to the death.
On motion OF Mai J. L. William
son, w. =. Fleming, Jr., was called to
the Chair aud W. A. Howard, made Se'.-
setsry. On behalf of Mr.. G. G. Gross,
Mr.. J. y. Smiser presented, the club
witt magnificent banner and the
three cheers and Tiger voted 10 Mr..
Gross we're given with lusty vigor
which threatened 10 bring the plas-
tering down upon the heads OF the
enthusiasts.
A call for Mr.. L. P Padgett brought
that gifted orator TO the front. Mr..
Padgett was in his happIest mood
and with master strokes, painted the
virtues Of Democracy ia such true
aud fascinating colOrs, and the III
iquIties OF Republicanism in such
dIabOlic blackness, that only the
hOpeIessly blind could have failed to
see which to choose.
IF
next called .On for an exhOrtation.
He took for his tex, AZ come not to
call the righteous, but sinners to re-
pentance," and for some twenty min
utes he kept his audience IN a con-
tinuous roar of laughter and APP
plause. The sanctimOniOus face,
solemn air, and lugubriOus voice with
which he addressed himself to his
text were entirely irresistible.
In answer to repeated calls, Hon.
w. J. WhitthOrne responded in a
speech IN which he said he thought
thee lection of Ricketts, was as import
ant as his own and that he would work
for the election of the other nominees
of Democracy as he would for himself.
He knew that the Republicans and
Third party men felt that they had a
chance OF shutting his mouth by not
nominating candidates against him,
but that lie was there to tell them
that they were mistaken, and that he
WAS heartily in line with Democracy
aud would be in the forefront of lis
battles.
AT the conclusion of MIR. Whit
thorne'- speech, came the enrolment
of members OF the club, which is to
be known as the Maury County
Democratic Club. About one hun
dred names We're enrolled at once,
and great numbers Of others have
asked that their names be added
since. The club will meet again at
the same place tonight. These
who have not joined are invinted to
come and enter their names then.

4 Supreme Effort for ; 200, Flat.

~ expect Direct to make record
of > 90 flat at Columbia next week,
is what Mr.. Salisbury said IA an III
terview at Lexington last Friday.
Direct had just gone the last half Oi
a trial mile in l:0l. This gives rea-
SOntbie earnest that Mr.. Salisbury :
exptctatiO !. Of the lOLg dreamed OF
two minutes, is not eXtravagant. II
shows that the crOakers VINO have
been saying that Direct would not
be able to make the race with Mascot
interesting on the first day OF tie
meeting at the kite next week, were
speaking without their host.
Mr.. Salisbury took his wonderful
little stallion off the track two months
ago aud has not started him since
He saws he has simply been getting
the little black wonder in shape and
saving him tor supreme effort tC
beat the worlds record here aud put
the mark down to the two minute
goal for which the bOrse world has
been SO long straining its nerves.
It's pretty good hospital thai
puts a horse in form for the last hail
OF a mile in :Ol. Everybody knows
that Mascot now holds the wond' :
pacing record of 2:04, and that ht
mace it i'll IL race over a regulation
track. On kite shaped track like
this, he ought to do it in several sec
onds less. With these facts in view
we are justified in prophesying tina
the race between them will be The
most phenomenal mile in harness
sver witnessed.

Will be GrandIy Celebrated by the An

Better Times Ahead.

1t is estimated that there were 50O,-
600 bushels of wheat raised in this
county this year, and that not more
than one-fifth of this amount has
been sold. If this is true, 400, 900
bushels still remain in the county
unsold. AT fifty cents per bushel it
would bring 5000, 900. Chis would pay
a million dollars OF debts and relieve
the financial stringency immensely.
1t looks like there are better times
ahead
