TELFORD.

How beautiful is the night a dewy
freshness fills the silent air. No mist
%obscures, not a cloud nor stain breaks
the serene of heaven in full orbed
glory, yonder moon divine, rolls
through the dark blue depths. Be-
meath her steady ray, the desert Cir
Gle spreads like the round ocean, Cir
died with the sky. The stars shine so
pure and bright, like a far off place of
bliss, and tells the broken hearted
there are brighter worlds than this.
Mrs. T. A. Angel has been indisposed

To meet one another again.

GROVE.

The recent rains have put new life
into the farming fraternity and they
are rapidly turning the soil for their
fall crop. Now if Democracy could
only put new life into the business
world, give the idle millions employ
ment so that they could earn their
bread and support those that are de-
pendent upon them-and this could be
done if this administration would only
give this country the assurance that
they will not tamper with the Nc
Kinley tariff bill and take the past
record of the Republican party as a
criterion to guide there future actions
by. Confidence would soon be restored
and times look up. There is one Demo
cratic negro in old Washington County
and he is now looking through bars of
the County Jail. Grover Cleveland had
promised him a position and he had
not the money to go to Washington to
secure his commission SO he set out to
stealing hogs to raise the money so
that he could go and pay his respect to
Grover and enter his fat office, but
the civil authorities interfeared. Gro
yer should have advanced his colored
brother (Fitzgerald) money and saved
him this dilemma. The above is as re-
latedto us by a respectable colored per-
son and should be a warning to negroes
against voting a Democratic ticket or
stealing hogs. Andrew Scalf, who
has been in Knoxville for two years,
is nov accompanied by his bride, visit
ing his father and other relatives near
Cherry Grove. Mr.. Moreland, son of
Mat Moreland, of mouth of Doe River,
Johnson County, was visiting relatives
here the past week. James Hyder, of
Greene County, was visiting relatives
in this section the past week. Misses
Mathes, Pritchett and kirkpatrick, of
.JOnesboro, were visiting a few days
ago in this country, the guests of Miss
Matte Hale. Messrs Shipley and Bacon
have the frame up of the new dwelling
they are erecting for ]. E. Hale Esq,
this residence will be occupied by his
son, T. N. Hale. Thanks to j. s..
Howard, for the finest peach that we
have seen in years. Our correspOn-
dent, One of the Boys, formerly of Lo-
Gust Mt, but in last issue from Har-
mony, since he has launched his little
ship out OF the smooth bosom of the
matrimonial sea, has made marked
progress in his correspondence. If we
had of known this would have been
the result, we should have long since
advised him to have secured the lost
rib. Let us hear from you often Rich.
Uncle Mahlon Maloney is on the sick
list. Mrs. s. K. Tadlock is in a very
criticize condition being almost help
less with rheumatism. Mrs. Register
and Mrs. Brown, of Buchertown, are
no better. Mrs. c. E. Wilhide is con-
valescent. The steam threshing ma
chimes of Kinchelo & Company and
Cox & Company, were doing duty in
this neighborhood Saturday. The
yield is far below that of 1892, but the
quality is all O. K. Mrs. G. E Will
hide was our guest Sunday. John
Shields, of Alfred, is mixing with rela-
tives and friends in this section. Mrs.
NJ. M. Hartman is visiting the sick in
BuchertOwn. The schools of this the

C. obtained tax deed which was defective
conveying q tract Of wild land situate in new
and sparsely settled region, most Of which
was prairie and the remainder timber land.
For three years during his ownership the land
was uncultivated and there were no fences or
permanent Improvements thereon, but he
leased 1t to others from which to cut hay.
Large quantities Of hay were cut and stacked
thereon, and there is evidence that the prairie
land was best adapted and could be more
proftably used for this purpose than any
other; and, further, that such land in that
vicinity was similarly used. He engaged 9TH
erS to guard the land from trespass and to
protect the timber while he employed still
others to cut timber thereon and deliver the
wood to him. These things were done In good
faith by G. as acts of ownership and with o
view OF taking and holding possession Of the
land. His claim Of title was open and public
and NO one disputed his possession or right
of possession. He paid all the taxes charged
against the land until he conveyed 1t to g.,
who at once entered and resided upon the
land, where he made improvements OF sub
stantial character. G. paid the taxes every
year and his possession was not challenged
until more than sixteen years after G. began
to exercise control and dominion over 1t. An
action by other claimants was begun against
g., who claimed title by adverse possession
for the statutory period Of limitation. Held,
That there was sufficient evidence Of adverse
possession to carry the case to the jury, and
that the action Of the court in directing a
verdict in favor OF the plaintiffs was reversi-
BILE error.
