ssDnder the mistletOe'' in Central
Hall, Fair Haven.
s'Under the Mistletoe" was the name of
a very pretty pantomime entertainment
given in Central hall last evening by
young people connected with the Second
Congregational church. There was a
large audience and all were delighted with
the excellent presentation. There were
thirty-two people in the cast. Miss Ber-
tina J. Ives and Henry Hulce represented
the bride and groom, and w. A. Heming-
way took the part of the baron. Miss EN-
ma Mcdonald sang the parts which were
afterward acted. In the minuet dance,
which was very pretty production were
Mabel Black and James w. Hemingway,
A.. L. Chamberlain, jr., and
Henry L. Ellenberger. Miss Caldwell of
Westfeld, Mass, gave very good whist
ling solo, and there was a vocal solo by
Charles B. Rowe. The a. 81. S. Banjo
club rendered good music. The costumes
were handsome, and under the glare of
colored calcium lights the scene on the
stage was brilliant one. The young peo-
pie are to be congratulated upon the sue
cess of an entertainment that has been the
result OF so muCQ pT6DaTaG1Cn.

and relatives.
Mr.. Polly Lusk is quite low and is
not expected to recover.
Bro. II. X. Dawson filled his regular AT =

very able manner. Bro. Dawson is q
very able minister, and his flock appre-
ciate him highly.
Rev. J. p. Jacobs, of kentucky, a son
of #. II. Jacobs, is here on a visit to his
parents. Bro. J. p. Jacobs is young
man and a Baptist minister of great
promise. He preached us an excellent
sermon. The respectful attention of
the congregation showed theywere high

On Sunday after the third Saturday

crops, which is put up in fine order.
Wheat is cut. Though not heavy crop,
yet it is fine. A little complaint OF
smut is heard.
Before this shall go to the press oats
will be next to cut, and a fine crop will
be harvested.
Corn is being laid by and what a fine
prospect. With no unforS cen accident
the farmers will have an abundant corn
crop to crib up.
The hot weather has caused the
garden truck to mature quite early,
such as peas, onions, cabbage, beets,
squash, Okra, and other vegetables are
getting to be undesirable for this year.
Sweet potatoes, Irish potatoes will be
fine, no accident to the contrary.
Our merchants will soon feel the good
effects of a wheat crop and we hope the
farmers will take good care of their
crops and remember their friends the
merchants who have favored them.
The Doctors say there is but little
serious sickness in this part of Maury.
With cheap sugar and plenty of cake

TaImage Oh Horse Racing.

AT the same time l do not believe
in slow driving, writes II. Dewitt
Taimage i'll the July Ladies' Home
journal. There is DO more virtue in
driving slow than in driving fast, any
more than freight train going ten
miles IN hour is better than All eX-
press train going fifty. There is a
delusion abroad in the world that u
thing must be necessarily good and
Christian if il is slow and dull and
Flooding. There are very good peO-
pie who seem to imagine it is humbly
piOu5 to drive spawned, CALLED,
gIaudered, riDg-halted, blind, stag
gered jade. There is not so much vir-
Bucephalus. At the pace some peO-
pie drive, Elijah, with his horses OF
fire, would have taken three weeks to
get into heaven. We want swifter
horses, and swifter men, and swifter
enterprises, and the church of God
needs to get off it's Jog trOt. Quick
tempests, quick lightning, quick
streams, why not quick horses? In
time of war the cavalry service dOes
the most execution; and as the battles
of the world are probably not ell past,
our Christian patriotism demands
that we be interested in equinal We
lOcily. We might as well have poor
er guns in our ar-enals, and clumsier
ships i'll our navy-yards, than other
nations, as to have under our calvary
saddles, and before our cavalry,
slower horses.

Death Of Can't. Pointer.

Cart. H. P. Pointer, OF Spring Hill,
23rd, and was buried to-day at Spring

soldier during the war, being Captain
Of the company that first left Spring

war, making an excellent officer.
Captain Pointer was widely known to
the horse world as the breeder OF Hal
Pointer. He was highly respected
and beloved by all who knew him
and will be greatly missed both as a
high-toned gentleman and a progress

THE TURNEY MEN WIN.
August 4, the Date Fixed for Holding the
Primaries.


August 4, the Date Fixed for Holding the
Primaries.
The County Democratic Executive
Committee met i'll the Circuit Court
room this morning, persuant to the
call of the Chairman.
Every member of the committee
was present except four, and there
was AN air of interest and expectancy
unders. ood that the Turney men had
been caught mapping and were not
ready for the fray and it was further
understood that the Buchanan men
were ready and anxious. 1t was be-
lieVed by the friends of the first that
il a late convention was called, and
they had time 10 marshal their forces,
they could carry the county largely.
While the Buchanan men, for like
reasons, were quite as anxious for an
early date.
With this statement virtually
agreed to, the public looked on the
contest i'll the committee AS nearly
deciding the question Tor the county {;
and TIE committee was SO alive to the
Importance of tine occasion that pains
had been taken by both sides to
marshal their respective forces in
full.
There was little skirmishing
and parleying in the proceedings
at first, but as soon as THIS was out OF
the way, the lines were drawn aud the
issue squarely made on u motion to
fix the date.
l.. P. Padgett, Esq, moved that
primary elections be held on August
4, IN the several districts Of the
county, TO elect delegates to the State
Guberuatoriai Convention to be held
| in Nashville on August 8; and that
the delegates SO selected meet in Co
! lumbia the following Monday Tor the
purpose OF organization.
w. J. WhltIhOre, Esq, moved in
| lieu that July 8, be submitted for the
date.
This was the all important issue,
and the ayes and noes by districts
were called for. 1t resulted in q
regular knockout for the Buchanan
! forces, the result being nearly two to
one against Mr.. WhitthOrue's motion
and in favor OF the original motion by
Mr.. Padgett.
After this there were no further
| factional contests; whatever the
TurneY men moved carried, and
whatever they didn't move didn't
carry.
The same date, tO-wit August 4, was
fixed as the time to select delegates to
a convention to be held in Columbia
on August s, said convention to
choose candidates for the State
Senate, Floater and Representatives.
\ motion by Judge Nelson that these
candidates be chosen by regular pri-
mary election, was defeated; and a
motion by J. A. Saunders that the
several districts elect their executive
committeeman, suffered a like fate.
The chairman of the committee
will issue the call for the primaries,
in a few days.

The Saddle Horse Again.

To TrOtwOOd: In your article on the
English mode of riding L think you dc
thesyStem unintentiOnal injustice. BY
rising to the horse the gait is very pleas
ant and the load mucn lighter to the
horse. Yours, ENGLISHMAN.
In answer to the above we wish to
state that we do not care how an
Euglishman rides. When a man
rides for fun it makes very little diff
ference to either the horse or the rider
how he rides. A horse well-kept,
sleek and fat, cares very little whether
his rider rises to his trot or not in n
half hours ride. And when rider is
out for an airing, it makes very little
difference 10 him whether he rides
with a firm seat or hobs up and down
Iik an Englishman.
But when it comes to riding for
business, it is different; and we still
insist that if rider rides the English
way for u short distance he will soon
get pretty tired of it. This Of course
refers to trotting horse. When it
comes to the saddle horse, the En-
glish system becomes an absurdity.
How can rider ride good Tennessee
saddler and rise to the trOt when there
isn't any trOt; and as to that, when
there is no more need for him to rise
IMAM IIST6 "Oulu 10 "oIO hO FCdbCu
on cushion seat of vehicle? II
the Englishman wishes to enjoy
horseback riding he must let his
park horse go and get him a saddler.
He will then find no necessity to do
anything but sit in the saddle, guide
his horse, drink in the air and the
sunshine, view the passing scenery
or enjoy the conversation OF a COM
paniou and be easy and comfortable.
But how, pray, could one do this
when he had to remember to "bOb
up" twenty times to the minute?
The Tennessee saddler was made
for business, not pleasure. He was
made in the days when there were no
roads to speak of, and when nine
tenths of all travel was done on
horseback and generally an all day
Job. He was made to carry his rider
a long journey, with ease to his rider
and himself. And gloriOusly does he
fulfill all of this. But now since
roads are good and the buggy horse

SOCIETY.

The Alphabetical Society of Zion
Church had a most delightful reOr-
ganization meeting at the residence
of Dr.. J. +. Dixon, on last Friday
night. There was no special pro-
gram arranged for the occasion, but
the society was fortunate, for among
the many visitors were the gifted
eIOcutiOnists, the Misses Holly Dor
set and Lou w. Cecil, whose recita-
tions were appreciated and enjoyed
by all present. The hostess, Miss
Alice Dixon, by her genial hospital
ity, made the meeting a most felicitOus
one. The following from Columbia
were present: Miss Augusta Pickard
and John d. LOchridge, Miss Holly
Dorset and Will Everett, B. A. Rogers,
Sam FriersOn, Ed Kuhn, Marion
Dorset and F'riersOn McLemOre. The
society will meet again next Friday
night at Mr.. Lloyd Cecils.

A Pacing Bred Runner.

Mr. a. n. Akin had thoroughbred
mare by Planeroid which he bred first
to Mccoy c., son of McCurdy's
Hamblel0nian, and produced Billy
Bush, a runner who captured a good
many races last year and this. The
old mares last colt, u large bay 3-year-
old, is by Bay Tom 2:2314, PAGER
For several months Mr.. Akin has
been trying to train this fellow to
pace but yesterday his son Common
seeing he had more run in him than
anything else, turned him loose for a
quarter at that way of going. He
made the quarter in 25 seconds, under
pull. If Mr.. Akin keeps on breeding
his kind of runners perhaps the
thoroughbred men will be hunting up
this pacing and trOtting bred runners
to help out "Old DiOmed."

4 Practical Idea.

Says Luther L. Frierson, a prOmi-
neut pofatO raiser and extensive far
mer: 1.-THE range in the yield per
acre of potatoes Is To my mind un-
precedeuted, some of them yielding
as high a. eighty barrels, others as
low as ten barrels per acre. Now,
since potatoes are all planted on con-
fessedly the best ]aud the farmer has,
and the cause to our mind is that far
m-rs are not paying the proper at
tentiOn TO their seeds. They are
neglecting the seeds, and make the
mistake, l think, in using seeds
which are the culls of both their crops.
Now as n rule these are small ard
immature and believe. while there
are exceptions to the rule. that they
are the cause of the great DE- efficiency in
the yield per acre in great many
instances. An average crop OF forty
five bushels per acre could have been
made in this county, thiuk, but for
that. II sold 40 low ~ seventy-five
cents it would nave been $3.50 per
acre, which is fine return; and this
would have been done had the prop
er seeds been planted. Get the right
kind OF seeds to plant, is my advice
