SHE WISHED TO BE soclABLe.
And There Were Several Subjects Upon
Which She Sought Information.


She pulled into a Sixth avenue elevated

her, no one noticed any one nor anything
Those who were not reading stared blankly
and gave no sign. Next to her sat a stylish,
well dressed, well bred looking young
woman. The stout lady had never before
seen person of such evident intelligence
keep such an evenly eXpressionless face.
She wondered how it could be done with
so much that was interesting going on all
about. She longed to speak, for it not
only seemed unsociable to sit next another
woman in unfriendly silence, but she also
wanted to gain her services in interpreting
the strange sounds the gatemen uttered
when they made their little bluffs at an
nouncing stations.
She eyed the young woman in admiring
silence only a little while, and then said in
a voice that was startlingly loud:
Air you going to get off at Fourteenth
street,"
The young woman turned a remark
ably pretty pair of slightly astonished eyes
toward her questioner and answered in a
low tone, Il go farther than Fourteenth"
The other spoke in lower tone, but she
had already attracted the attention of half
the passengers

and looked straight ahead again. But the
rural lady wanted to talk.
Ann, she told me of a shop on Four
teenth street where l could get gloves"
She stopped and eyed the young woman's
gloved hands resting her parasol
Would you mind tellin me where you get
your gloves?"
Several passengers giggled, but the
young woman answered with perfect COM

other side"

get things cheaper over there - Grand

Then the passengers giggled more, and
those who were reading papers folded
them.
Ann" continued the stout woman
she's my sister, and has lived here for
years, you know. She wouldn't come out
with me this morning. Ann, she never
kind of seems to like to go shopping with
me- Pity knows l wish she would, for
I've got to buy a lot of stuff for the girls

Things Worth Remembering,

When you feel kind of goneness about
the stomach it is q sign that your food
does rot sit well. and that you are about
to have fit of indigestion.
When you begin to feel nervous and
are unable to sit still comfortably; when
your clothes suddenly seem TO lose their
fit and become too tight in places, the fit
OF Indigestion is surely upon you.
When this fit of indigestion is repeated
from day to day it finally resolves itself
into dyspepsia.
Remember that three to 10 of Bran
dreth's Pills will cure the worst case of
indigestion or dyspepsia. or both, and
that regular course of them, say two
every night for week or 10 days. will
act as preventive of either complaint.

The Best in the World.

Senator Henry G. Nelson, of New York,
writes:
ION the 9th Of February, 1888, was
taken with violent pain in the region of
the kidneys. l suffered such agony that
1 could hardly stand up. As soon as
possible l applied two Allccck's Porous
PIssters-one over each d1ey, and laid
down. In an hour. to my surprise and
delight, the pain had vanished and l was
well. l wore the plssters for day or
two as a pTecaution, and then removed
them. l have been using Allcock's Por-
Gus Plssters il my family for the last ten
years. and have always found them the
quickest and best remedy for colds.
strains and rheumatic affections From
my experience believe they are the best

To the Maury County Democratic EX-

BY the authority vested in me as
Chairman of the Maury County Demo-
cratic Executive Committee, l hereby
call upon the members Of the Commit
tee to meet in the Circuit Court room in
Columbia on Monday, June p, ut II a.
IN. to consider and determine the time
and manner of choosing delegates to at
tend the State GubernatOria conycu-
ton to be held in Nashville on August
g. The Committee viii also take like ac-
ton in regard to Legislative questions,
and decide the time, place and manner
of nominating candidates for the Legis-
lature. The Legislative question in
wolves the choOsingo of the candidates for
two seats in the House, one in the SEN
ate and Floateriai Representatives
The Committee is further called to-
gether to consider and act upon arg ara
all such business as may properly he
brought before them.
l desire to remind the several mem
bers of the Committee that this is by far
the most important meeting they Will
be called upon to attend, and a full rep
resentatiOn is earnestly requested.
OWlLS W CbI 10 pOA 10 DDAh5 ptlNA-
lated over the County I will state that
the Chairman will not add to nor take
from the Committee, either upon his
own motion or upon the request or sug-
gestion of any member or members. Ii
any new members are added to the
Committee they will be added by
the Committee. l will further state
that, unless Overruled by the Commit
tee, verbal proxies will not be allowed.
A proxy to be voted must be written,
and the signature and date must be in
the handwriting of the Committeeman
who gives il.
The Chairman cannot fail to see
division in the Democratic ranks i n this
County, and the disposition in the fac
tions to mistrust each other. For these
reasons he has indicated in advance his
rulings upon important questions he
learns will be submitted. He does this
that neither faction may have cause for
complaint. The Committee of course
has the power to make its own rules; to
which the Chairman will submit, but
for which he will not be responsible.

If Blaine had been loyal to Harri-

of refusing the crown and making q
President. As it Is, he will go down
in history as defeated traitor. The

done the wise thing; certainly they
have done the right thing. Harrison,

from the moment that | began to be
sensible OF my misfortune l never

years ago an English sailor was strand

his tale OF woe to Mr.. Martin and Of
cred to sell him his watch and his last
dollar, which heprized beyond it's in
trlnsc value on account OF the follow
ing circumstances connected with his
receiving it: Old Commodore Van
derblltwas once passenger on the
same ship on which this sailor was
employed, and happened, while lean
ing over the side OF the vessel, to drop
his tall silk hat into the water. The
sailor. witnes sing the accident, immed-
lately jumped overheard and rescued
the tile from a watery grave. The
commodore heartily expressed his
thanks to the man and gave him
a dollar, which the sailor had
Kept ever after as q souvenir. He
finally parted with his watch and the
cherished dollar to Mr.. Martin in ex-
change Tor pair of shoes anu his FAIL
road fare to Chattanooga, requesting
Mr.. Martin to preserve the dollar. as
ne wished, when able, to redeem It
