What DO They Care For Experience.

To open the floodgates and permit the
worlds volume of silver to flow to our
minis to be coined at 16 to l in the hope
and belief that the market value of sill
rel would be thereby advanced to 81. 30
an ounce seems to me to be q dream SO
extravaganza a. to be beyond the posi-
bility Of realization. If free coinage by
this country alone would not only ar
rest the decline Of silver, but restore its
market value, why is it that such q re-
suit has not been attained in the coun-
tries where free coinage is permitted?
The minis Of Japan, Mexico and several
Of the countries of South America-Pe-
ru, Bolivia and Equador-are today open
to the free and unlimited coinage Of
both gold and silver, yet in no single
instance can it be shown that the bull
lion value Of silver has been kept at a
parity with its coinage value. More
than this, no nation on the globe today
has its minis open to the free and un-
limited coinage Of both gold and silver
that is not confessedly ON a silver basis
with gold ut a premium. What aso
have we, therefore. rs q nation to ex-
pect any different results if we should
venture on such an experiment? From
reason and experience I am forced to
the conclusion that to open u mints to
the free and unlimited coinage Of silver
at the ratio of 16 to l without tho Co
operation Of the leading commercial ma
tions Of Europe would quickly plunge
the nation to q silver basis and create
such o disturbance in monetary sys-
tenn as to involve it's total destruction.

CAMPBELL's STATION, May 4.-Rev.
w. r. Waynick of Main Street Church,
Columbia, delivered series of most
able and interesting discourses from
the pulpit of Evergreen, beginning Sat
urday morning and closing Sunday
night. After Sunday mornings sermon
the sacrament was administered. The
instalment of a ruling elder was post
poned.
Mr.. Ed Fitzgerald one of Godwin's
handsome knights of the yard stick,
was with relatives here few days last
week.
Miss Alice Cochran (alias) meta Lea"
has returned from a protracted visit to
Elkmont, Ala.
ID. j. and owen Mahoney of Nashville,
were here Saturday and Sunday.
The army worms have made their APP
pearance in this vicinity and are play
ing havoc with pastures, corn, wheat,
and oat fields. The old settlers tell me
they are the first seen here since 1861.
It's pity that we can't transport them
beyond the deep blue sea just now, for
they are a disastrous plague to our
farmers.
Little Shirley Jeter was cutting wood
some time since,and splinter flew from
the wood in his eye, causing him to
loose the sight at the time; since then
his other eye has become affected, rem
dering him totally blind. Sad indeed
and we deeply sympathize with him
Mr. and Mrs. Nit COggins of Goodwin
was the guest Of Mr.. Cooper Coggins
several days last week.
Miss Fannie Wells of Broadview
spent last week with relatives here.
Master Charley Hobbs of Nashville
spent last week with his grand parents
Mr.. and Mrs b. f. Hobbs.
Mrs. Alice Hobbs has been quite sick
for the past two weeks, butts some bet.
ter. Mrs. Jane Pullen is very sick, and
little Joe Coffey is also on the sick list
Mrs. w. II. Coffey is on visit to Mrs
II. NJ. Waldrum of Waco, Giles county
Mr.. and Mrs. Vestal of Santa Fe, are
with their daughters family, Mrs. n. c
Allen, for few days.
We thank and tip our hat TO cores
tra.n Many fond memories are con.
nected with our last meeting, which
hope to renew at our next.
Yes, old friend ".Siftings,' we were
quietly snoozing on that unholy wall OF
bachelorhood, singing "When will the
moment come" and fell off into the
garden of hope; the fall broke my hear
twice and have dwindled away to g
lean JIM DANDY.

CULLE0KA.

CULLEoKA, May Aspiring al
ways sends Barbara" on the wing.
She went to Nashville the 9th to visit
Miss Grace Williams of East Nashville,
and attend the League Conference. On
her return trip will stop off in Frank
lin week to visit friends. She may
gain much but will miss something in
this beautiful spring-time; the time of
poetry and song. The country is a good
place at this season of the year. Nature
is in her lovliest mood.
Farmers, who are always prosaic,
think she is too liberal with her show
ers Just now. The gentle showers that
bring May flowers, are suggestive to
them of choking weeds and untitled soil.
Crops are growing apace; so are the
weeds. Good stands of corn and pota-
toes. Paris-green is already in demand.
The army worm is here. Mr.. G A.
Williamson had field of clover eaten
up by them. On Il. A. Wilkes place
they are destroying a field of grass.
Mr., Farmer will put Paris green on a
field of wheat to save it. Poor farmers
of all professions he works hardest and
has most to contend with.
Misses Nicely Alternately, Brownie
and Loutie TOmlipson are visiting Mrs.
LuptOn of Franklin.
Mrs. Joe Love is with her brothers
family at Spring Hill.
Miss Laura Taylor spent few days
last week in Culleoka, the guest of Miss
Sue Wilkes.
Bro. Molloy gave us discourse
yesterday, on the duties Of parents,
superintendent, and teachers in the
Sunday-school. A timely talk for us
all. Some of our sweet singers were
away, but the Presbyterian choir most
kindly joined in and the singing was
excellent Put the two together and a
city could not excel them greatly. We
are partial to Culleoka, any way
| Lynnville too, is growing fond of her.
| She wants part of Maury County and a
pretty little bit of Culleoka. She is a
cordial little place.
THE music that can deepest reach,
And cure all ills is cordial speech
We certainly enjoy "Verna's Depart
ment." 1t is pure and instructive
| Which of the boys, "Verna," is to be
| journalist, and which the preacher?
Does the science of phrenolOgy or
| physiognomy, teach you? Or would
you have them knights of the nine
teenth century?
"He best deserves a knightly crest,
Who Stays the evils that infest
His soul within. If victor here,
He soon will find wider sphere"
With best wishes to all the cores
pOndents, bid you pleasant good
night SUBSTITUTE.

College Association at
the Fifth Avenue.
IN. Y. World, April l2.l
The Fifth Avenue Hotel was yes
terdav the scene of an important So
cial event. 1t was the annual meet
ing of the Elmira College Associa-
ton, which was formed a number of
years ago, and includes on it's roster
such prominent names as: Mrs.
Daniel Lamont, of Washington; Mrs.
Rufus S. Frost, of Boston; Mrs.
Samul l.. Clemens, of Hartford; Mrs.
@. S. Land, OF Syracuse; Mrs. ID. w.
McWilliams (Helen NJ. B. Mar
quand,) Mrs. Madison G. Peters,
Miss NJ. Katherine Jones, Mrs. G. G.
Pope, Mrs. William H. DJty, of this
city.
The committee had provided
most pleasing entertainment for the
members, consisting of a luncheon,
music and recitatiOns.
The musical portion was assigned
to Miss Kathryne Krymer and Miss
Vigne hathaway Hyde, who sang
several numbers to the manifest APP
prOval of their hearers.
The feature Of the entertainment
was the quiet Metropolitan debut of
Abilene Lystra MRS. w. Blake Up
perman) nee Miss Carrie Walker,
of Columbia, Tenn, as a reader.
With just enough of Southern accent
lingering about her tongue to denote
her birthplace and add melody to
her full, rich voice, the debutante
rendered two selections that captiv-
ated her hearers. The first was the
well-known poem MARY Queen of
Scots" The reader was followed
throughout with the closest atten-
ton, and at the close an encore was
insisted upon. A simple little poem,
Measuring the Baby was chosen.
The soft, mellow tones of the reader
appealed to her wOmanly hearers
and their hearts went out to the lone
ly pair who had "measured their
baby for the grave" Congratula-
tions were showered upon her, TAX
ing almost the form of an ovation.
She received several handsome floral
tributes.
Abilene Lystra began her studies
among the hills of Tennessee, and
the bluest blood of the South runs in
her veins. In appearance she is a
little above the medium height,
With perfect form and carriage ;
golden hair, and eyes as blue as
turquois. Her forte is tragedy, GEES
ture and facial expression added to
perfect accumulation, making her
peculiarly fitted for heavy and tel
ling work.
The artist purposes giving a few
readings during the spring and sum
mer months, and is urged by friends
and critics to adopt the stage in the
! fall.
