GRAND-FATHER's CLOCK.
A Very Aged Time Piece on Exhibition
at Cadiz.

at Cadiz.
Charley Wilson, of Tugglevile,
says the Cadiz Telephone, is the
owner of a veritable "Grand-father's
Clock" which has been in his family
for over 100 years. This aged time
piece tolled the hours during the
American Revolution, and came into
possession of the Wilson family i'm.
mediately after the close of that war,
by reason of having been with other
property deposited as security for the
payment of a horse valued at $l75. 1t
is, of course, "too tall' for the shelf,
and stands upon the floor, and seems
to have been designed for other pur-
poses than that of keeping the hours.
1t was originally about seven feet
high with plate glass box at the top
to encase the massive works of brass,
and the quaint old houest-faced dial
ornamented with pictures of long
tailed birds of Paradise in lively col
ors. The ponderous weights are
merely long tin boxes filled with
sand, and no doubt answered their
purpose well. A box in which pen.
dulum three feet long could swing to
and fro, "life's seconds numbering"
together with base, with folding
doors, in which the children's clothes
were perhaps stored, completes the
length--in all hit feet. The work
manship is plain and massive, show.
ing the character and tastes of the
age in which it lived. at stopped
short" many years ago and had been
consigned to the garnet as useless rub.
Dish, but speaking of it a few eeks
ago to a gentleman, in town, Mr.. Will
son was induced to bring it in the
first time he came with his wagon.
He did so, and it is now at Mr.. Bran
don's drug store, where it will be re-
FURNISHED and treated to a new coat
of varnish, have its face washed, and
set a.going by Banks Randolph, and
having numbered the closing hours
of the last century, it is Mr.. Wilson's
desire that its siivery peals shall pro-
claim the hour when the nineteenth
century shall be no more, and ring in
the new era of time.

tons as breeders of fine stOck-Sum-
ner and Manry. They are undoubt-
edly ahead of any other counties in
the State. Maury has always been

if not superior at present. Both
counties are making rapid strides,

some very enterprising men engaged
in the business. Sumner owns the
highest priced stallion in the world,
so said, in the person of st. Blaise,
the imported stallion purchased for
100000 at auction in New York
by Chas. Reed. Maury, while be.
hind in point of value, now holds
the only animal in the world with
pacing record of 2:G6, the California
cyclone, Direct.
A. ID. Pierce, of Gallatin, has sold
one-half interest in the three FLIES,
Willie Eikin, Fernslip and Eddie
Cooke, to Thos. Payne, of Nashville,
for 81 500. All three of them are
winners.

Discussion of Home Missions Occupies
Their Attention-Thc Briggs Case.
PORTLAND, Or, May 24.-The Pres
byterian assembly occupied the fore
noon session with the discussion Of the
subject Of home missions.
Just before the hour of adjournment
it was noticed that the judicial commit
tee would report on the Briggs case, and
soon the church was crowded to the
doors by those wanting to hear the ex-
pected debate on the question
which is exciting Presbyterians
all over the land. Dr. Briggs
hurried in and was listener to
the proceedings. The prosecuting com
mittee's appeal from 'the dismissal of
DR.. Briggs was then reported by the ju-
dicial committee who held that the ap-
peal was well taken and that the COM
mittee should be upheld. There was a
minority report that asked that the ap-
peal be not considered and asked the
conference to remand the case. An eff
fort was made to have the case discussed
at once but the friends of DIR. Briggs
succeeded in having it go over. An
animated discussion may be looked for
when the reports come up.

SIOUX CITY, Ia. May 19.-A great

During the morning great wave came
down the Floyd river which flows
through the center of the city, and
which was already swollen bank full
The wave came few minutes after Z
o'clock. v ,lrning had been sent a short
time before to the inhabitants of the
lowlands but only few of them had
been notified. Tie first intimation was
volume oi water spreading over the
banks to depth of three feet and throw
ing u mist of foam before it. In few
minutes the water had risen above first
floors and several thousand people fled
in terror to the higher ground. The
water rose four feet in an hour and a
half and from 0 o'clock continued to rise
steadily, but not so rapidly, Probably
one-quarter Of the inhabitants live OH
the low ground which is overfowed. So
rapid was the rise of the tide that great
numbers We're unable to escape and the
wosk OF rescue engaged every energy OF
the people. At IL O'clock eleven persons

Indications Point to a Walxovcr for Clcve-
land at the Chicago Convention.
WASHINGTON, May 2O.-Recent con-
ventions seem to bave turned the tide
pretty effectually in favor Of Cleveland,
and it now looks as though the ex-presi-
dent would have the convention at Chi
cago all his own way. There is no de-
nying that where there is opposition to
Cleveland it is very intense; but then it
comes from such Democratic states in
the South as will vote for the Democrat
ic nominee whether it be Cleveland or
any other man. The anti Cleveland
men still insist that some other man
must be nominated, and Burke Cochran,
Hills right-hand man, insists that the
nomination of Cleveland SO far as New
York is concerned would be very dan
gerous experiment. Mr.. Springer thinks
it is becoming clearer every day that
neither Cleveland nor Hill could be
nominated.

lars of collision between passenger
train and freight train, near Crooked
Bayou, Ark, on the Cotton Belt road,

occurred at Z o'clock p. m. and was the
result of the crew of the passenger train
disobeying orders. All the cars of the
passenger train were thrown from the

storm interfering with the telegraph
wires but little information can
be secured in regard to the
wreck. Tho latest news is to the
