cred, after several weeks sickness.
Mr.. COyner has been quite sick for
several days with la grippe.
Mrs. j. b. Campbell, after a very
severe attack Of pneumonia for sever
al weeks, is able TO be out.
Peter, the little siX-year. old son of
Horace Catina, met with very pain
full accident several days since while
at play with several Of his little COM
panicns. One OF the boys struck at a
ball with stick and the stick flew
out of his hand and struck Peter in
the eye. The eye-balI was cut and
considerably bruised, but it is
thought the sight will not be entirely
destroyed.
A pair of mules, attached to q
wagon, belonging to Mr.. John Burns,
caused quite n little ripple Of excite
ment last Saturday evening, The
driver left them standing in front of
H9gey's meat shop and they became
frightened and ran away. No dam
age was done, but it WAS thought
several times they would collide with
some ! assiug vehicle, as there We're
several on the road at the time the
runaway occurred.
Several parties from this part of
the city are contemplating visiting
Washington to attend the Inaugural
ton next month.
Mr.. William Shirley has been quite
iudispOsed for several days.
Mrs. A. o. p. Nicholson acquired
the habit when young woman of
preserving all of her letters and pa
| rers aud various articles OF wearing
apparel belonging to the members
Of her family. She has some very
interesting relics in her possession
now, though great many OF them
Were destroyed and stolen during the
late war. Mrs. Nicholson has two
calico dresses than were worn by her
mother when she was little girl,
more than hundred years ago.
The dresses are made of imported
French calico, and the colors seem to
be rs bright and new and the cloth
as strong as 1t WAS when the dresses
were first made.
The heavy rain last week caused
Little Bigby Creek to get on quite a
boom for several hours. Consider
able damage was done to the fence
and other property, belonging to w.
J. Guest, which is used by him as a
sIaughter-house.
The West End weather prophet,
after very successful career of sew
eral years, has at last been knocked
completely out by the elements re-
fusing to comply with his pre-
dictions. He has resigI ed his COM
mission to Cal Morgan and the
ground hog, who will continue bust
ness at the old stand and will be de-
lighted to give any information on
the weather to those who may call
on them for advice.
E. w. Carmack, editor of the Mem
phis Commercial, was a resident OF
West End several years ago and he
has great many warm personal
friends in this part Of the city as
well as all over the county, who are
proud of him, not only because of the
bold stand he has taken against the
law-breskers of the bluff City," but
for the fearlessness with which he
has always defended what he thought
was right and condemned the wrong,
no matter who it hurt.
The moral element OF Memphis
ought to congratulate themselves on
having such an editor at the head
of their leading daily paper as editor
Carmack.
The Commercial has become quite
popular with the people Of Columbia
since Ed Carmack has been at the
head Of it. 1t has quite number OF
subscribers here, and would have a
great many more if arrangements
could be made by which it could
reach here the same day it Is pub.
