The Sheriff Got Even, ou Bet.

CHATTANOOGA, TENN, April So
The initial number of the Hartman,
Tenn, Progress contained leader,
bitterly attacking W. H. Ladd, sheriff
of Roane county. The vocabulary Of
vituperation was well-nigh exhausted.
Adultery, default in office, subornins
of witnesses in a recent celebrated
murder trial and other equally wicked
charges were made against Ladd:
To-day the sheriff and q number OF
his deputies made clean sweep of the
Progress Office, carrying the editor,
George H. Freeman, W. H. Sanbern
and S. w. Williams, propriet,rs, to
Jail 1t Kingston on the charge of GRIM
.inal libel. Two Office employee, in
cluding the typo who set the obnox-
ious editorial, were arrested. This is
the greatest sensation Hartman, the
magic town, has ever experienced, the
citizens arrested being the most infiu-
entail men in the city.

Like John Jones in Wales John
Smith is in England a profound in

in market square would denote no

not rare. We dream of John Smith;
we marry him; he is our father, our

Smiths live just to make people misera-

They are the most divorced family in

are warned against naming their

A wEDDING AT BLYTHEwOOD.

Messrs. Editor: It has been sometime
since have had the pleasure OF
writing to the dear old HERAD, but
sincerely hope this space of time has
not entirely banished the memory of
your former Rabb correspondent from
the minds of the dear old Fairfield
people. Should such be the case
perhaps this brief letter may recall to
them the faces as we'll as the names of
some of Fairfeld's form"r energetic
boys and girls who hal the pleasure
of attending a very happy marriage
near Blythewoed, S. c., on the 2Sth
OF this months. The groom was Mr..
J. B. Spivey, of this city, and the
bride was Miss Hessie Butler, of
Blythewood.
The beautiful little church (Har-
mony) was handsomely decorated
with vines, flowers and eyergreens of
rarest description. Thus surrounded
by the beautiful gifts of nature a
large congregation anxiously awaited
the arrival of the bridal party who
was somewhat late but I believe ar
rived almost at the appointed hour,
and proceeded to the church and up
the aisle to their proper places as
follows:
Mr.. W. F. Outlaw with Miss Anna
Burns; Mr.. L. D. Evans with Miss
Lille Grigsby; Mr.. W. G. Butler with
Miss Ava Spivey; Mr.. E. 6. Ferrell
with Miss Cora Burns, proceeded by
the bride and groom, who took their
stand in front of the Rev. W. r..
Hartin, who in a very 1rief but i'm
pressiYe manner soon pronounced
them one.
The bride was beautifully attired in
q lovely costume Eof cream with lace
and ribbon and wore natural flowers.
The bridesmaids all wore cream gowns
with lace and natural flowers. The
gentlemen all wore full morning suits
with tan gloves.
After the ceremony the happy couple
with the relatives and friends returned
to the home of the brides parents,
where a bountiful repast awaited them,
which was very much enjoyed by all.
The only event to mar the pleasure of
the day was a slight fall Of rain.
With this one exception on, the way
from the church a buggy containing
two of the bridal party ran against a
stump slightly damaging the vehicle
and giving the occupants quite q
fright. will not give the names of
the unfortunate couple, as I believe
the young man promised to be more
careful in the future, especially when
he goes to the next wedding:

The Smith Family.

South Carolina and Fairfield County
have a few Smiths and the following
from the Chicago Record may be of
some interest to them and to the Jones
too:
That the Smiths are humorous will
be seen by the numbers recorded in
the register general of England alone,
where, from 1888 to 1854, 2S6,307
Smiths are known to have been born,
to have married or died. The Joneses,

stances, ,2S2, 300. This will show that

:, In addition to Smith proper there
are mauy families passing under other
names who are members of the mighty
race. Sn;thett is a neat diminutive:
but Snythy and Snythiers have de-
cidedly the smell of blacksmith shop
about them. In their d sire TO ge.
away from the common, piebeian and
Ron-descriptivc Smith many families
have Smythed themselves, and one
family goes still further and changes
itself into Smith. It is difficult to
see how "i j. came to suppl'nt the

Il is said that all English baronet.
.'sSmith," in the transition peri
having substituted 'y" for 81" was so
delighted bv his escape from Smithdom
that he sought still further to decorate
his name by adding "title" to each
stroke of the "y," and thus producing
the ssi i" of the existing Smiths.
Another escape occurred in New York
several years ago. A farmer, the
head of the house, being stout and
por.ly, obtained the name of John
Jolly among his neighbors. His sons
have since assumed the sobriquet as
patronymic; and by this name alone
is the family recognized. They are
Smiths no longer The most common

He COMMITTED SUICIDE!
The Cause and Its Lesson.

IYhv did he commit suicide? Oh! for
the same reason TIT thousands of others are
on the verge of the same sin, or in imme-
diate danger Of insanity, paralysis, idiocy,
or some other equally unfortunate result of
any nervous affection. lie knew he was
afflicted with nervous disorder, but was
careless, apparently Indifferent to the out
come; or he may have lessened his chances
for recovery by treating with physicians
who had little or no knowledge of such at
fections, or by delugin5 himself with WORTH
less so-called remedies. His case was sad
one, but no worse than that of any other
nervous sufferer, who has nervous or sick
headache, biliousness, dizziness, irritabihty,
melancholy, failing memory, hot flashes,
fainting, sleeplessness, nervous dyspepsia,
sexual debility, epilepsy, etc. The same or
similar consequences are likely to result to
any one who has any of these advance
symptoms of an awful end. Do not hesitate
in getting rid of them by intelligent treat
ment. DR.. Franklin Miles, the celebrated
specialist has studied nervous diseases over
20 years, and has discovered the only re-
liable remedy for them. Thousands of vol

When Ringing Bros. advert Sc the

with propriety add, land the cleanest"
They have succeeded IN eliminating all
the repreheusible features Of the circus
and adding those which are classical aud
educating. The clownish features are
kept IN the back ground and everything
| presented Is artistic, neat and IN excellent
taste. 1t isn't the old, old story with
this circus. There are new features and
ali are ia the direction Of en- lnclpat1ng
the circus from old environments which
we're suggestive Of cOaTseness If not coarse
10 themselves. Everything abont the
circus Is conducted without buster or
any offensive feature. The attendants
ale polite and there is nothing approzi-
mating rewdyism. There is no shouting
n disposing wares nor any undue solic.-
tation to purchase tickets. There was
not fakir IN the city. Ringing Bros.
will not permit such things and always
cooperate with the local police in stop
ping ell skin games.
The street procession was very fine and
was witnessed by crowds of people who
lined Eighth street. The menagerie did
not have as great a variety of animals as
usual but every specimen was perfect.
The giraffe Is unusually we'll developed
for an animal in captivity. All the ami
mails are we'll kept.
There was not weak spot in the circus
performance, The representation of
s.atuary was exceptionally fine and
called forth rounds OF applause. There
was not as much horseback riding as is
usual but this was replaced by something
new and better
There were about 1900 people present
and all went away perfe city satisfied and
with words OF praise for Ringing Bros
for The innovations they have made TO
the betterment of the circus.
