" Advice" to q Boy.

In one of the large railroad offices in this cOlln-
try is comparatively young man. who is at the
head of large department. When he entered
the service of the company. five years ago. he
was green and awkward He was given the
poorest paid work in the department. The very
first day of his employment by the company. a
man who had been at work in the same room for
six years approached him and gave him a little
advice. Young fellow, l want to put a few
words in your ear that will help you. This COM
pany is SOullesS corporation, that regards its
employees as so many machines. 1t makes no
difference how hard you work, or how WELL SO
you want to do just as little as possible and re-
tain your job. That's my advice. This is slave
pen, and the man who works overtime or does
any specially fine work wastes his strength
Don't you do it, The young man thought over
the advice" and after quiet little struggle
with himself he decided to do the best and the
most he knew how whether he received any
more pay from the company or not At the end
of year the company raised his wages and adj
vanced him to a more responsible position In
three years he was getting a third more salary
than when he began and in five years he was
head clerk in the department; and the man who
had cOndescended to give the greenhorn "advice"
was working under him at the same figure that
represented his salary eleven years before. This
is not story of gOOdy-gOOdy little boy who
died early, but of a live young man who exists in
flesh and blood to-day. and is ready to give
"advice to other young men just beginning to
work their way into business. And here it is:
''WhatsOever thy hand findeth to do. do it with
thy might. "-IOltth's Companion.

1t is bright sign of the times that the sources
of reform are found in our colleges. The enthu-
siasm for humanity is being generated in our
class-rOoms, perhaps more than in our churches.
Our colleges are beginning to recognize the fact
that they are divinely appointed guardians of
public veal. From them is coming the demand
that capitatshall justify accumulation, that wealth
shall show cause for being. They are beginning
to insist that he who deals in human toll must
know men, and respect them. The Railroad
Kings, the Iron and Coal BarOns may refuse to
listen to the demand Of the laborer for an ac-
counting, but they cannot prevent the Profess
sors from going behind the returns and demand
ing of wealth to show cause for being.-Unity

State of Tennessee VS.. Rainey,
President, ct al. Maury criminal
docket. Indictment for obs tructipg
a road by putting toll gate within
two miles from Columbia, collecting
toll and refusing to allow persons to
pass without paying toll. Verdict
in favor of all defendants except
Rainey, the President of the COM
pany, under whose orders this was
done. Question was whether the
gate was lawfully placed. 1t was
nearer Columbia than it now is, and
the company claimed the right, un-
der an act of 1882, to move the gate
anywhere between the old location
and the two-mile limit. The statute
provides that gates may be moved
two miles from corporate limits.
The Judge charged the jury that il
the defendants undertook to act I'M
der that statute they must move the
gate two miles from the corporate
limits, aud had no discretion in the
matter. The court held this charge
correct, aud that the gate should
have been located at the two mile
place. Affirmed.

MIR. Jack G. Gordon is announced
in this issue as candidate for Tax
Assessor. He has always given his
vote to the Democratic party, and he
now submits his claims to the Demo-
cratic primaries. In times of war he
made good soldier and in times of
peace a go d citizen; he is well
known and deservedly popular all
over the county.
We announce in this issue Mr.. "A.
B. Cathey, as candidate for Tax
Assessor, subject to the Democratic
primaries. Mr.. Cathey is a lifelong
Democrat, and one of the very best
citizens of Maury County. Wherever
he is known his name stands as a
synonym for honesty, integrity and
christianity, and the banner of De-
mocracy could not be trusted to safer
hands.
In our announcement column
among the aspirants for the office of
Tax Assessor, will be found the name
of Milt +. Allen, of the Goth district,
who submits his claims to the voters
in the Democratic primaries. Mr..
Allen is a Well-knoWh stock man, a
pushing and prosperous farmer. He
is at present the Democratic Com
mitteeman from his district, but with
his characteristic fairness and good
taste has rendered to the Chairman
of the Committee his resignation of
that position, and his successor will
be appointed at the next meeting of
the committee. Milt 4 lien has been
the Democratic Committeeman from
his district for the past four or five
years, and has made an active, eff
cient and faithful member. He has
always been a worker in the ranks
heretofore; whenever his party calls
he Obeys. If he is the nominee of the
party he will be triumphantly elected,
and would make a good officer.

In Police Circles.

Judge Erwin had very full at
tendance at his Friday morning serv-
| ice last Friday. The centre of at
traction was one Samuel Gibson, who
makes his headquarters at the
Arsenal. Sammy wears a plug hat
and flowing goatee. A savage scowl
decorates his massive brow, and IN his
! big right arm he carries muscle that
is hard and tough. Physically speak
ing, Chief Cook Gibson is q man. He
is said to be an expire figoter, and
he dotes on his strength. It would be-
supposed that a man with such a
| powerful physique would have the
courage to rely upon the weapons
with which nature had supplied him.
| Not so with Samuel. With all his
strength and science and prOwess, he
carries q "billyu even In these
"piping times of peace.
Now Mr.. Gibson got on q crazy
drunk on Thursday night of last
week, and took il into his head that
he could do up this town. Mr.. Glib
son was mistaken. So badly mis-
taken, that perhaps he will not try
that job a second time. IL Is very
true that bloomsbury rules were not
observed, and IL took more than ano
of the officers to handle Sammie and
his gOatee and plug hat, and IL was
a scuffle all the way from the Bethel
House to the jail, butSamuel-tbe pu-
gilist, and Mr.. Gibson-the town-taxer,
goatee, plug hat and all, were locked
up in Jail just the same, aud made TO
peep between the bars until o o'clock
the next morning, when court con-
vened.
Brought face to face with the
majesty Of the law, the terror of the
night before was IS dOcile as a lamb.
He plead guilty to the charges
brought against him and submitted TO
his punishment without q mufmur.
For the drunk and dis9rderly case
Judge Erwin imposed a fine. but for
the charge Of carrying an unlawful
and deadly weapon, the prisoner was
ordered to be taken before Judge
Patterson, of the Circuit Court. Here
tue heavy hand of the lf W came DOM
upon him a second time, and by the
time the gay and festive Sammy had
run the gauntlet his frOlic has cost
him about $50 i'm cash. besides the
incidental damages TO his plug hat
and the indignity to his gOatee
This town Is not 10 be took, Samuel:
others have tried il before thee.

Disturbiug Public Meetiugs.

Gov. Taylor no doubt left Columbia
with a very poor opinion of the be-
havior of a Columbia audience. For
on next to the front row of chairs, di-
rectly in front of the lecturer, was a
drunken man whose boisterous con-
duct and clownish ways not only an
noyed the speaker but disturbed the
whole audience. OF course the Gov
ernor naturally thought he was some
Columbia or Msury county man.
He was not, however, his name was
Gilbert, and he is a drummer repre-
senting some machine company.
We imagine the Governor also left
with a very poor opinion of the police
force of Columbia, for. allowing such
a nuisance to remain in the house.

o'clock in the First Methodist church,
Mr.. E. d. Wilson and Miss Ethel

Long before the appointed hour the

contracting parties. The wedding
march was rendered by Mr.. Morgan
Frierson, aud the following gentle
men preceded the couple to the altar /:
Messrs. J. Frank Wiley, J. s. Orman.
w. II. Wilson, r. NJ. Williams, u.

Wilson and ]. G. Rea.
The bride is the daughter of Mr.
w. H Lowell; she was led to the al.
tar by her maid of honor Miss Katie
Shaffer, of Nashville. She is made
prominent in Columbia society by
the beauty of her person., the amia-
bility of her disposition, aud estima-
BILE qualities which endeared her to
all. She will be q great acquisition
to Columbia married society.
The groom is the son of Maj. w. B.

of fine business attachments, promi-
nent in both social aud business cir
cles.
We extend congratulations to the
young couple, and SINCERELY wish for
them much happiness. immediately
after the ceremony they went to their
home on South Garden Street, where
they and many of their friends par
took Of sumptuous supper. They
were the recipients of many hand
some presents.
A novel feature of the ceremony
was the matrimonial ship on which
they embarked and set sail upon the
sea of welded life. Upon the sail
was written the words: "Love is al
ways faithful" The ship ceremony
is rarely ever performed, but when
well done, as it was on this OCCASION,
il is very impressive.

Lock Your Doors and Prime Your
Pistols.
There is more burglary and thiey-
ing going on in Columbia than was
ever known before. There IL no
doubt it is done by "home folks :"
loafers and loungers whose faces,
white and black, are familiar on our
streets. The police ought to shadow
them. Men and boys are resorting To
all kinds of ways to live without
working. We told last week how
two white men slipped into the Office
at the Guest House and stole the COW
er from the sleeping porter, wrapped
themselves in it and Ra00zed before
the fire. Wednesday night the police
discoveIed Two negro boys raising the
front window Of Hughes q Hatchef's
office, aud being caught the little
rascals frankly admitted they had
made the office their regular lodging
place for months. Tuesday night the
police found "A suspicious character
on West 9Th street; when they APP
preached him he took to his heels
they ordered him to halt, but he ran
the faster; both officers shot at him
several times, but without effect.
Wednesday night thieves entered the
grocery house of w. +. Embry, and
robbed the cash drawer OF few dol
lars. The first Of the week they made
a raid on West End and attacked
several houses. IL is an every night
business now fer some house or
houses to be robbed. 1T is not done
by any one OF two men; the depreda-
tons are by the worthless set Of idle
vagabonds lOafng around this town.
The Big Three would do well to spend
some extra money in locking these
loafel up or running them out Of
town.
