even more than its former growth and
richness.
The American Temperance Uni
versity, of Hartman, Tenn, will give

perance Hall commencing at So'clock.

speaking aud will be free, which should
induce a good crowd.
Happy days and restful nights result
from using Ayers Sarsaparilla. 1t SO
regulates all the bodily functions and
strengthens the nervous system that
worry and fatigue are comparatively
unknown and life is truly enjoyed. 1t
is certainly a most wonderful medicine.
The Democratic party seems to have
surrendered without protest to the
Sugar Trust. Won't their speakers

to the people why the poor man has to
pay a tax on every pound of sugar he

Frank l.. Fornshell, the clever and
able business manager of the Herald
and Tribune, Jonesboro passed through
Monday on his return from a visit to
relatives at Marion. Mr.. Fornshell is
among the most rapid and most correct
c%ompositors in the State. He was for
quite a while foreman in the composing
rooms of the Cincinnati Commercial
Gazette. Bristol Courier.
w. F. Young, Clerk and Master, left
Jonesboro Monday morning for North
Carolina, where he will on today be
married to Miss Phifer, returning to
Jonesboro with his bride Thursday or
Friday. Mr.. Young has certainly kept
his courtship very quiet and our people
will be surprised to hear that he has
captured a wife in the old North State,
without ever leaving town to see her,
so far as is known here. We extend
congratulations and wish Mr.. and Mrs.
Young a long and happy life.
The gentlemen from Europe, who
are supposed to have the money to pay
off the Embreville Company, came to
Jonesboro a week ago and went to
Embreville. We had hoped to give
u readers some assurance from these
gentlemen that the works would be
started up again, but d~elligent inquiry
has failed to elicit anything further
than the presence of the two gentlemen
from England. Since writing the above
we are informed that the gentlemen
are investigating the claims against
the company, one at a time, which
may take several weeks with a view
to their settlement when the investiga-
ton is completed.
Solomon Black, of the Second Dis
trict, died last week. His death r~evives
some ancient history. Blacks father
was a disipated man, and going home
n night, drunk, got into a row with
his family and was killed. Solomon
Black was arrested, tried and convicted
of numbering his father, and sent to
the p~enitentiary for life. When he
had served about seven years under
the sentence his mother took sick, and
on her death bed confessed that she
had struck the fatal blow with a shoe
hammer and that her son was an in
nocent man. Her confession being
verified by finding the hammer where
she had hidden it, with the dried blood
on it. The people petitioned the Coy
ernor and Solomon was p%ardoned. He
went to prison rather than see his
mother go.
The few warm days that we have had
this month have been very beneficial
to the growing corn, giving it that
healthy, dark, green color and making
it grow rapidly. From the present out
look the prospects are that We will have
a good crop of corn; the spring oats will
not be much, but there will b, a pretty
