We understand that the old
Confederate soldiers of Hardeman
County have decided to hold a re-
union at Bolivar some time during
the coming summer. Hardeman
furnished seven or eight companies
to the Confederate service. Only a
small per centage of those old sol
diers are living. Year by year
they are dropping out. Unless
they get together soon, they will
never meet on this earth. The re-
union should be held by all means.

Mr.. Alexander White, a we'll
known citizen of Hardeman County,
died at his home, 5 miles northwest
of Bolivar, Friday morning, Janua-
ry 10th. 1896, of brain complied
ton. Mr.. White had been a great
sufferer for several years past. He
was an enterprising, thrifty farmer,
a kind neighbor ana good citizen.
He was born in North Carolina,
June 4, 1928. When young man,
he moved with his parents TO Ten
nessee. In I847 he married Miss
Mary K. Simmons, who survives
him. He leaves also a number of
children, all of whom are grown.
On the goth of last month, in
the 18th district, G. G. Daniel and
Miss Birdie Rocks were united in
marriage at the home of w. F.
Rocks, the father of the bride, Esq.
J. J. Siler officiating. After the
marriage, a sumptuous dinner was
spread and enjoyed by those pres
ent. On the following night, the
BRIDE and groom and invited guests
had the pleasure of enjoying the
hospitality of w. I. Deming and
his estimable wife. 1t is needless
to state that the occasion was an en-
ioyable one, and will long be re
membered by those who were so
fortunate as to be present.
For many years past 1t has been
the custom of the Sheriff to adver-
tise and hold an election on the Sec
ond Saturday in each year in Grand
Junction for the purpose of elect
ing municipal officers for that town.
An advertisement for the election
of such officers for the ensuing
year was posted by Sheriff Sam
mons, stating that he would hold
the same on last Saturday, but on
last Friday a bill was filed in
chancery court by @. w. Mitchell,
b. Ill. Norton and p. @. L. Mitch
ell against w. B. Summons, Sheriff.
In obedience to an order from Judge
Flippin an injunction was issued by
the clerk and master restraining the
Sheriff from holding the election.
The bill alleges that the act incor-
porating the town provides for the
election of municipal officers on the
first Saturday in April. The case
will probably be decided at the
March term of chancery court.
