Harry Campbell, who has been

agent, most of the winter. is think
ing of returning to his home at Sha-
ron.
Thad Prewitt, the cleverest fell
low and the best rustler in the Val
ley, has returned from the St. Louis
market after purchasing a fine line
of spring and summer goods.
Our esteemed friends, Will Scott
and Aaron Martin, were out burglar
hunting Tuesday night. They
thought they heard burglars, and
came up town to investigate. Two
more resolute men could not be sent
ON cunning expedition than these.
Our recent heavy rains havemade
our roads almost impossible, the
creeks to become swollen, delayed
farm work considerably and kept a
great many from attending the Pres
bytery who would have come had
the weather and roads been tavora-
bic.
During the past week your scribe
was the guest and enjoyed the hos
pitality of Mesdames Matte Nc
Annuity, Lou Ferguson, Anna Rose
and May Prewitt in their various
homes. Words of ours do not con-
vey our appreciation of these kind
nesses which are so often extended
to us.
Our public school teachers hope
to have Prof. Booth Lowrey, of the
jackson University, come down in
about two weeks and give a recital
for the benefit of the Public School
Library. Let all our people patron
ize this enterprise, for it deserves
our most hearty cooperation and
sympathy.
Last Saturday afternoon it seemed
for a few minutes that we were GO
ing to be visited by a severe storm
of wind. At the time the storm
struck, we, with many others were
visiting at the session of the Presby
terry. The rafting windows and
bowling wind sent a shudder through
many hearts, and we heard the mod
orator remark, he saw many faces
that for a moment blenched with
fright.
The Madison Presbytery, of the
Cumberland Church, convened with
the churth at this place last Friday
evening and continued in session
until Monday evening. The attend
ance was not large, but we are in
formed that great deal more than
the ordinary amount of work was
accomplished. Too much cannot
be said in praise of the expeditions
and business-like methods of their
the Rev. Mr.. Kuntz,
pastor of the church at Selma for
he is an ideal presiding officer when
business is the order of the day, and
is a gentleman of superior mental
ability.
One day recently our good friend
Squire d. w. McAnulty, knowing
how we'll we enjoy smoking the Sc
1uctive weed, presented us with some
very rare and fine old tobacco that
was grown and cured here, in the
county of Hardeman, by some of his
friends more than forty years ago.
1t possessed a rich and rare taste and
iavor that had been mellowed by
he passing years, and, when watch
ng the rising, widening circles of
curling blue vapor, dissipated like
he dreams and hopes of other days,
We fancied we caught the pictured |
yista of forty years as, like the loos-
med PARTICLES of this rare tobacco,
hey merged into the oblivion of
pace and the mist of time.
