BOYS"
Subject of Mrs. Nichols Lecture at
Presbyterian Church.

Presbyterian Church.
A good sized audince greeted Mrs.
Josephine r. Nichols at the Presby-
terrain Church Thursday evening and
listened with appreciation to her
grand lecture on "Boys." The College
Quartette, of which Maryville is
certainly proud, and Prof. Newman
each song selection of music,
and were highly complimented by
the talented speaker at the close of
her lecture.
She was introduced in a graceful
way by Rev. F. E. Moore, and she
thanked him heartily for his kindness,
making a humorous comparison be-
tween that Introductory, and one
which she had formerly been given
when her eloquent friend who was
weakened. tumbled off the stage
right in the midst OF an oratorical fight.
She then proceeded to handle boys
from babyhood to young manhood in
way that shows perfect familiarity
with them
"Of the baby" she said. OF all
Gods creatures not one IS so helpless
SO appeals to the sympathies Of human
nature as a baby. Nor is the boy
baby any more strongly fitted to beal
the ills that flesh is heir to than The
girl baby. A bit of flesh, but few
hand breadths in length, it lies at the
mercy of thousand mishaps. A
little blast of air stealing through 4;
crack may blow out the Pickering
taper of life, and the bit of flesh bt
but bit OF clay. Strong in hi
suplneness, he lays under tribute
the whole household to furnish hin
amusement. He is the veriest tyrant
No age is too great TO ape youthful
ness to call up his smiles; no propriety
too decorous to be invaded by hi
pranks. He is handled on the kne
dignity; he bestrides the broad shoul
ders of parental authority; he pull

crowned heads. The prince AM

BRIDGE ACCIDENT.
Rev. Lord gives the Accident as he
saw It,

Rev. Lord gives the Accident as he
saw 1t.
Editor of the TIMEs:-As | came
upon the east: end of the bridge over
Pistol Creek on Thursday last, about
4 o'clock p. m. | noticed team
coming towards me that did not keep
to its own side of the bridge. The
driver said the off mule was afraid OF
the railing but he could drive his near
mule close up to the side of the
bridge and wanted me to pass him on
the other or lower side of the bridge.
We were by this time pretty near to
each other SO backed my buggy
quite little ways, and the driver
went back of his wagon (he had
neither bed nor rack; nothing but his
wagon gears and lifted his hind
wheels over to the side where he
wanted his team to be. The moment
he set his wheels down his mules
were frightened, backed and "a back
ing cramped his wagon so that it went
off the bridge almost opposite where
the wagon had stood. But the
moment the hind wheels went off, and
the mules felt the pull, true to mulish
instinct, they pulled too, and held the
wagon hanging on the edge of the
bridge until they were unhitched.
AS the wagon went off the bridge
my mare became frightened and tried
to wheel around; by voice and whip
brought her to her bearings but
still badly frightened, just at this
moment, Samuel Chumlea and anoth-
er young man came along, and /
asked him to take my horse by the
head. He did SO, the young man
with him also taking hold the other
side Mr.. c. advised me to get out of
my buggy. | had Mrs. Hoods little
daughter, who was riding with me,
get out; but with two men holding
my horse by the head and ,nsses
holding the lines took the risk; but
the mare bounded every step until
led from the bridge she felt solid
ground.
Now a word as to the danger in

ly concerned in this affair. | sat
facing the mules and but few feet
away, when they stampeded. The
last | saw of the driver he was stand
ing between the hind wheels anc
close to the axle-tree of his wagon.
How he escaped being crowded of
the bridge is more than | can imagine
for his mules made the dash IN a
moment of time. The danger that
was in, and the little daughter of the
late Gen. Hood sitting by my side
may be inferred from what follows
Young Mr.. Chumlea who was but {
few feet behind me, when my mare
tired to turn around; says that tht
hind wheels of my buggy pressed
against the railing of The bridge 81
that it swayed over more than foot

For such risk as this: that every

Sheriff Walker went to Chattanooga
the first of the week and arrested the
quilting frame men, who claimed
they left here with twelve or fourteen
hundred dollars. They gave bound
to appear here next Tuesday to ans
wer the charge Of obtaining the sigma
ture of Brewer Mexican by false
pretense.
LATER-The men spoken Of above
decided not to come to Maryville and
stand suit, but sent in the amount
paid them by Mexican and all costs
which amounted to $I2o. This is
another feather in the cap of that
hustling law firm of Brown and Gull
ton, who went ahead and got the
money back after another lawyer had
had Mexican pay it out.

4 The smoke-house of Jacob Peters,
who lives two miles from Friendsville,
sskrned down Friday. The
building contained several hundred
pounds of meat and lard, besides all
their canned fruits and numerous
other family necessities. By the
timely arrival Of some nelghbors who
live close by about fifty pounds Of
lard and the meat which is somewhat
damaged was saved, the balance of
/ the contents beng a total loss. The
fire is supposed to have originated
/ from bucket of ashes that had been
set in the building the evening before
and had it not have been for the
heavy rain which was falling at the
time his house and probably his barn
would have been burned. The loss is
about 5000 and no insurance.

The local readers of the Post will
regret to learn of the financial diff
culties of Parsons Brothers, doing
business at Sweetwater and Madison
vile. Hard times and difficulties in
collections forced them into assign
ment last Saturday, w. D. Hender-
son, of Athens, being named as
assignee. The liabilities are stated at
80, 900, with assets sufficient to cover.
parsons Brothers did business in
Athens several years, where they
were and are now highly esteemed.
They are good men, and we hope
soon to see them on their feet again.

labors in the various states, and stated

discouraged; Pennsylvania had cause
for rejoicing, but the greatest advance,
she said, was in Wisconsin. The So
ciety has eighty-two stations and 1870
| missionaries. In Colorado 10000 per-
sons had an opportunity to attend
church, while in 200 places visited there

If M'kINLEY is NOMINATED.


Buffalo, May 19.-President George
Il. Matthews of the New York state
Mckinley league made significant
statement yesterday. 1t indicated IA
purpose on the part of the Mckinley
managers in the event of McKinley's
nomina tion to take the campaign out
of the hands of the republican state
committee and put it in the hands of
the special committee organized for
the purpose. Mr.. Platt's open hostility
to Mckinley is said to be the reason
for this contemplated move. In the
course of an interview Mr.. Matthews
was asked what action McKinley's
managers in this state would take
in the event of his nomination. He
replied "McKinley's friends in
this state will do whatever they
deem for his interest regardless of the
wishes of the parties who have hereto
fore controlled New York state re-
publican politics" 'And that means
a provisional state committee, proba-
bly?" at means just what l said
whatever IS deemed for his interest" ;"
SAT present." Mr. Matthews added,
"Mckinley's friends are getting ac-
quainted with each other. There are
so many of them that it will take quiet
a time. And the number of them
grows with every day"

EOR CLEANING GRASS.


Are Excellent.
"Throw it out" said one. "Give il
away" said another. AS it seems a poor
kind of giving to bestow that which
is worthless to yourself, the last adj
vice was not followed. But the rose
shade was so handsome, and the colored
glass jewels and hanging drops all in
tact, it provoked sundry experiments;
and the result is a restoration to beauty
and usefulness of lamp that was an
eyesore for its digris-covered brass
work, says Womankind.
In most stoves very fine powder
accumulates that is not ashes, yet has
the essence of the wood in it. Part
of this, in one saucer, was moistened
well, and another saucer held the dry
powder, pan of good soapsuds stood
near, and piece of sheepskin was at
hand.
With a tooth brush all the brass was
well secured, then washed in the suds
and dried. At this point there was not
much encouragement, but now the dry
powder and sheepsllin were vigorously
applied, and, to the surprise of the
skeptics, the brass shone with a soft
luster very superior to even the hard
brilliancy of newness.
This powder will restore the brass
rods when tarnished and fly. specked,
end an occasional rub with wooden
cloth or piece of sheepskin dipped in the
dry powder will keep them in good con-
djtiOn
