ANDREWS DOTS.

ANDREWS, Sept. 2O.-After an alb
sence of two weeks from your columns,
we will again write up what tow items
we have gathered; news however, is
very, scarce and my communication
will be very short.
The protracted meeting began at
Antioch on the 18th inst, conducted by
Rev. Sewell, OF Nashville. We have
heard nothing from the meeting since
Thursday nigh; up TO that time they
had only had two additions. We hope
there will be much and lasting good
accomplished during these services.
Bro. Sewell is by no means "A novice i'm
the proclamation of the truth. lie
speaks with great force, and believing
in and laboring earnestly for the scrip
tural practices in all things, he mani
tests courage equal TO his convictions.
lie speaks Gas one having authority"
and never fails to quote "the word" as
that authority.
Mrs. Newt Moore and little daughter
LOula, of Obion County are at present
visiting relatives at this place..
Mr.. Luther Andrews made a business
trip to Alabama last " eek.
Among those THAT have attended the
Antioch meeting from this place, were
Misses Sackie and Cordie Nicholson,
Hay and Leah Davis aud Myrtle SOwell.
Misses Alberta and Matte Andrews,
of Troy, Tonn:, are visiting the family
O their uncle j. =. Andrews.
Miss Bette Mitchell, of Bear Creek,

Mr.. w. II. Davis spent several days
of last week with his daughter, Mrs. X.
z. Stegall and n. A. Nicholson OF
Carter's Creek. He also attended the
reunion at Franklin Thursday.
We learn with sadness that DR..
Sharber is very low with drOpsy. His
recovery is doubtful.
Miss Leah Davis is having chills.
Quite a number of our farmers are
making molasses this week. Now "
the people around here don't get sweet,
IL will be their own fault.

Officer Tucker.

THE HERALD is requested by a
lady friend, who desires that her
name be withheld, to say good word
for officer James Tucker, of the po-
lice force. 1t is no trouble to do that,
for officer Tucker is a good clever
man rs well as an Obliging officer.
What brings about all this talk Is,
that the lady i'll question had Il nurse
for her child. The nurse is named
Mary Baird. Now Mary dresses III
deep mourning and is 4 very demure
looking maiden indeed, and it APP
pears a very slick thief as well. She
had been in the lady's employ just a
few days, when yesterday morning,
without complaining or being COM
planned at, without leave or notice,
she gathered her buds and silently
stole away.
When the lady of the house discOv-
cred her sudden and mysterious de
partura, she began to be suspicious of
the dusky damsel, and her suspicious
leading to investigation she found
that Mary had appropriated two OF
her wrappers and Il morning dressing
sack.
Now the lady in ques ion is a very
mild tempered, amiabIe, sweet lady,
but, whenever a fire or flood or thief
comes aud takes n lady's wrapper, ii
is always her best one. Thus do
BLESSINGS brighten as they take their
flight" and the lady waXed exceed
ing wroth. She sent for officer
Tucker. give him the name of the
girl and a description of the missing
articles and conjured him by the rep
uiation he held most dear, to recover
her treasures and jug the thief.
In two hours from that time the
thief and the stolen goods and officer
Tucker stood before her. The officer
had ransacked College Hill and dived
into trunks innumerable, until he
found the right house and the right
trunk aud the right niger.
The goods being recovered the good
man of the house-men are Away:
better, more even tempered, charita-
BILE and forgiving than women-(and
besides the man had not lost his
dress coat) interceded in the girls be
| half and dismissed her with a reprI
mand, while the lady showered he
| thanks upon the officer, who modest
| Iy said it was only his duty and III
was glad to be able to serve her.

TROTWOOD'S TALK.
Continued from First Page)
The Arab Horse.

The steed of the desert was q very
good thing to base some pretty myths
and lot of poetry on, but as q mat
ter of fact, if brought OH to some
third class race course he would not
sell for place. Mark Twain demon
strated the fact that an Arab was the
"ablest liar in the world" and his
horse is about as deceptive for a
dumb liar as the owner is for talk
ing one. The Arab horse was, per-
hapz, once the best horse in the
world; but the English thoroughbred
has improved on him about as great
ly as the English nation is ahead Of
Arabia, or Gladstone ahead OF an
Arab. Says the Chicago HOrsemRn:
"The Arabs have different notions
from ours regarding the rearing, Of
foals. The little creature, instead Of
being allowed to run with the moth
err, as in this country, until it is six or
eight months old, is weaned al the
end Of its first month and taken from
the dam. 1t is at fret fed upon
camels milk; and from the time il r.
a few days Old is kept tied up either
by q rope around the neck or around
the hind leg above the hook. Ii

the playmate If his children, who
mount il before it is a year old. II II
broken by that time, and is trained
to weight packing at very early age
According to time hOnOred Arabian
Custom every colt or FLY is given very
hard work before it is three years old
The Arabs claim that il n horse does
not do hard work then he will never
after be fit to do so. The threey year.
old, therefore, is always ridden hard

Fourth Race.

The 2:35 trot brought out five to
face the starting judge. In the first
heat Minnie S showed the way to
three quarter pole, where Protection
challenged and won with speed to
spare. Mudrona, the favorite before
the race, was still selling as first
choice. In the second he,t Cook
drove MudrOna into -iirst p.nre at
the start, but Protection out trOtted
the mare before reaching the three
quarters and won somewhat easily.
After this heat MudrOna stin sold
favnrite, bringing $40 while the field
brought $6. At the word "g they
were all going smoothly, and the
heat was interesting. Protection
and Mudrona we're tapped for more
than three quarters, with the others
close up. About half furlOng from
home Kahn tapped the gelding and
he broke. Mudrona won rather
easily. The race was then postponed.
The Summary
