Here is fish story: Mr.. Jim
Miller, who lives two miles north
of Middleton, has a little son. The
boy caught grasshopper the other
day, and requested his father to al
low him to bait his hook with it in
Porter's Greek. His father agreed.
The hook was baited. A small cat
fish, weighing perhaps a pound,
swallowed the grass hopper. Cat
fish No. swallowed catfish No. /,

We call attention to the card
of the Bolivar Academy, which APP
pears in this issue. Since the Sc
lection of Prof. J. II. Roberts as
principal, that school has been
literally patronized-an evidence
of Endorsement of his mode |
of teaching by his patrons. |
Mr.. Roberts will be ably assisted by |
Miss Mary Smith, whose record as
a teacher places her in the first rank |
of educators. Mrs. Roberts, an ex-
perienced music teacher, will take
charge of the musical department. |
Bolivar is indeed fortunate in hav-
ing such well equipped teachers to
take charge of that institution of
learning.

The Duncan Hotel, which so rich
ly merits the estimation in which it
is held, was, on Thursday night of
last week, rendered more popular
than usual because of its selection
for the beauty and chivalry of White
vile and vicinity TO assemble AMI
participate in an ice cream supper,
given by the young people of that
town. The imposing building had
been previously decorated with en-
twining vines by young ladies who
possess rare artistic talent, and the
lurid lights of the japanese Ian
terms, while blending with that of the
goddess of night, lent enchantment
to the scene of beauty. The assem-
blage, though numbering IS or
more, was inadequate to consume
the delicacies prepared. Only too
swiftly did the hours glide by on
the wings of father time; but before
the convivialists took their depar-
ture, another morn had been ushered
in, and another day numbered with
the past.
"A large crowd attended the
union services, on last Sunday night,
at the Methodist church. The ser
mon delivered by Rev. w. l..
Brown sparkled with gems of truths.
His text was ''Is the young man
safe" the query made by David
Absalom when he at
tempted to dethrone his father. The
deduced from that subject
showed that the reverend gentleman
does not consider a young man or
young lady safe who keeps company
with those who ''Feareth not God
nor regardeth man." nor the
young lady safe who frequents the
ballroom and engages in the maze
of the waltz. Neither does he con-
slider those safe who disobey the
command, ''Look not upon the wine
when it is red" He neither be-
lieves it to be safe for young ladies
to keep late hours, either in parlors
or by riding in three-quarter buggies.
The Democratic Executive Com
mittee of Hardeman County is here
by called to meet in Bolivar, on
Saturday, the 2sth day of July.
