CulIeOka.
This has been a busy week. Since
our last communication to the readers
of the HERALD the hours have been
filled so full that they passed almost as
moments. The busy farmer, as he cut
his grain and dug his potatoes, found
that Saturday night had come seeming
ly day or two too soon: The indus
triOus housewife arose with the bros
in order to finish her sweeping and
busting ere she began to prepare din
ner for the hungry harvesters. And last
ly the idle creatures! Even they have
had something to do to fan themselves
and work their brains diligently in
thinking how they could most easily
get to cooler cline. And everybody
had to discuss the fulfillment Ofthe pre-
dictiOns of the Democrats, and express
their opinions and fears as to the posi-
BILE truth of Hicks predictions concern
ing the earthquake on Saturday.
The earthquake didn't come, but Mr..
Duncan did. Yes, Mr.. Written Dun
can, travelling salesman for Phllllps,
Buttorff Il Co., of Nashville, spent
several days with J. G.. Fowler at Hills
dale last week. He has many friends

young ladies, and his stay among us
will be remembered as one of the very
pleasant events of the summer.

Mr.. Editor, we know you admire
womanly woman, and so do we, but
away mp stairs, in the privacy OF our
own room, may we not throw up our
hats and give three cheers for Cleveland
and the Maury County delegates? We
have been reared staunch Democrat
and had we been at the convention DIR.
Mary Walkers applause for Hill would
have been answered by more en-
thnsiastic one for Cleveland. Long be-
fore the convention the beautiful colt at
home was named "Baby Ruth" and we
could not refrain suggesting the same
name for the pretty baby across the
way, while our own dear little kitten
also answers to the name of our little
American Princess. BARBARA.

Ask Ellen Smith who she saw at

GoOd6y, Mr.. Editor, the diurnal
shade of falling night, pinned back by
the two corners of the moon, are howl
ing dismalIy round my shutter win
dow, while think of the days that
are gone.
If this escapes the waste basket, I'll
come again. MoLLIE DARLING.
And We poor editor, for the sake of
a dollar subscription, signs wearily,
and lets it escape.
