SECOND WARD ITEMS.

"Out OF the bosom, OF the air.
Out Of the cloud-felds Of her garments
over the Woodlands brown and bare.
Over the harvest-fields forsaken,
Silent. and soft. and slow
Descends the snow
Don't mention it, its anything but
snow now! But how happy were the
hearts Of our young people when on
Tuesday night they closed their eyes
thinking of the glad tomorrow. The
snow balling. the sleighing-but the
button was pressed. and you know the
rest.
Mr.. II. H. Graham is home again
after sacheyiug considerably around
New Orleans, Greenville, Vicksburg
and Memphis. We are afraid his trip
didn't improve him. as he continues to
tell jokes; however we console our
selves that they are not OF chocolate
color.
Mr.. C. B. Buckner is visiting at
Sauvee Terre. One and al. have been
instrumental in keeping Messrs. Buck
ner and Graham separated, as the
jokes they told during the holidays are
still kept green, except those that
were able to stand alone,
Messrs. T. B. Constant. w. B. Keene,
w. B. and Harbert Benjamin went on a
camp hunt last week. Their Wallets
said "The young men might have
killed something if they hadn't been
afraid and sat in their tent, held their
hands and sang loud enough to fright
en- even the little squirrels away" To
think this of our Sewanee boys. o, it's
horrible! Even school girls would
have behaved better!
Miss NellieMontgomery spent several
days with Miss Benjamin last week.
While her visit was greatly enjoyed by
us all, we regret that it happened on
one of our off weeks in the entertain
ment line. She got something any
way while down here. ALI those with
any curiosity may ask her what it was.
Miss Benjamin got up an excursion
to the Mounds last Saturday. in which
only two or three fell down. to the top
of the largest mound, an hour or so
was spent most enjoyably. But the
wind did blow. and some one made an
unkind remark, which didn't sound
much like Il saw somebody today"
One of the Sewanee boys has been
in dreamland for sometime; at least
we suppose so, as he spends most of
his time Doze Gng). Another has not
entirely recovered from the shock he
got in the Hotel APiazza. While
another has learned how to make a
four hours call by adding twenty more
to it, by hitching his horse so it goes
home and leaves him, and still an
other, who is too young to leave his
mother. Well, we'll not tell anything
on him for fear we might have TO lend
our handkerchief too.
Mr.. S. w. Tinnen has returned. He
has the sincere sympathy Of the entire
community in the loss of his fathars
which occurred about two weeks ago.
E. w. Constant. father of Mr.. Con-
slant, spent Wednesday in town. Col.
Buckner. Messrs. McRae, Moore,
Griffin, Barwick and Mr.. Routh are
also late visitors to town.
Mr.. and Miss Keene spent Monday
at Belle Meade. They bring with
them the good news that two lovely
girls are going to spend next week in
this ward.
The bad weather prevented more of
our young people attending the dance
gwen by Mrs. Cherry.
Mr.. w. H. McCulloch was down
last Sunday. We hope he will stay
long enough next time to tell US who
he saw in town that day.
We simply said they were charm
ing family, but since knowing them
better we find that they are the most
charming of charming families.
L'INCONNUE.
CIhe foregoing should have APP
peared last week. but it did rot reach
the Office until Friday, after we had
gone to press. Ed.
We regret to learn that the grippe
has visited the family Of our quiet
friend Mr. Clark ". Hall.
