by j. w. Bateman. A fine line Of
mems, boy and children's clothing

Quarterly court meets next Mon
day. 1t has been suggested that it
is a splendid opportunity for our
county solons to take some action
by way Of endorsing the Tennessee
centennial movement. The people
of Tennessee are a unit on the sub

to lift up her voice and join in the
grand chorus.
Mr.. Lum &. Walker, who resides
near Family, in Carroll County, got
his foot cut off and his arm badly
crushed in an accident at his saw
mill Tuesday. Amputation will be
necessary, it is thought, to save his
life. We could not get full partic-
ulars Of this unfortunate accident,
but it has manned and crippled a
good citizen for life.
An enjoyable entertainment was
given at the home Of Capt and Mrs.
r.. w. Ayers last Tuesday evening.
Quite number of the young people
were present. The quintette or
chestra rendered few choice Sc
lections of music, and refreshments
and fruits were served. Miss Mat
tie is a charming hostess, and the
evening passed off most happily tC
all present.
Mr. G. w. Killebrew, agent O
the Nashville, Chattanooga and ST
Louis Railroad, was in the city
Monday. He says the outlook il
very promising for a heavy immi
grafton from the North and North
west to Tennessee this year 4
concerted movement upon the par
of our people is all that is necessar,
to secure a liberal share of this i'm
migration for Benton County. Let
be up and doing while there is tim
and opportunity.
