HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.
Maury County Fruit Growers Have An
Interesting Meeting.


The Horticultural Society had an
unusually interesting and profitable
meeting in Mr.. Il. E. GOrdon's office
last Tuesday.
Notwithstanding the sevele
weather the forepart of April, the
fruit crop, except some early varie-
ties, has been large and OF a superior
quality; and four tables at this
meeting were loaded with as choice
fruit as can be shown anywhere.
DR.. Chisholm, of Spring Hill, had
fine specimens of the following va
rieties of grapes: Roy, Giltedge,
Brighton, Niagara, Delaware, Burti-
burg, Empire State, Delaba, North
ern Muscadine, Major Allison, Green
Mountain and Eclipse. Many of
these have been originated by the
Doctor, which make them of double
interest to every Maury Cnuntia".
He also showed Elberta peaches and
a bottle of his grape wine.
Mr.. Sowell, of Andrews, made a
beautiful display of his choice va
rieties of grapes. He showed Con
cord, Catawba, Ives Seeding, We
hangs, Delaba. Niaraga, Anna, Fox,
Melrose and Giltedge. His Ebert
peaches have a color that does not
seem to develop on every soil.
Mr.. Meroney, of Dark's Mill, eX-
hibited grapes Of the following va
rieties: Jerusalem Seeding, grown
by him from seed brought from the
Holy Land.) Brighton, Niagara,
Concord, Nor;on's Virginia, Hart
ford Prolific, Lutte, Ives Seeding,
MoOr's Daimwood and VergenOres.
He also exhibited a Seeding summer
apple of fine qualities.
Mr.. Yoest exhibited Herbert
Brighton, Eta, Wilder, MOntifinre
Massosoit and Niagara. His Elber.
ia peaches measured eleven inches
in circumference, and were the larg
est shown. Mr.. Yoest also had some
fine samples of Red June and Bur
bank Plums and Royal Duke cher
ries preserved in alcohol.
The exhibit was seen by many o.
the town people, and only those who
did see it can have an idea Of the
possibilities of Maury County in this
branch of fruit culture.

A SAD INCIDENT.

Death of Capt. GiIbreth's Little Daughter
at Lawrenceburg.
Some of our citizens will remem
Der an affecting scene which tran
spired at the depot one evening dur
ing the commencement of the war,
when Company D., of Lawrence
hnrg, under command of Capt. Gill
breth. was passing through Colum-
bia en- route to Nashville to be mus
tered into the service of the United
States. Capt. Gilbreth's wife and
child-a bright little girl of ten
years-accompanied their husband
and father as far as this place to bid
him good bye. The parting was an
affecting one, and as the fond par
ent folded the little child in his arms
and imprinted farewell kisses on her
tear-stained face, but few in the
crowd of spectators could keep back
tears of sympathy.
This little incident has a sequel
that is still sadder and heart-rend-
ing. Capt. Gilbreth, with his regi-
ment, was ordered to San Francisco,
and his little family was left behind
in their Tennessee home 3 900 miles
away. Week before last the little
girl was taken suddenly ill, and on
Saturday, July Is, her spirit was
carried away to heaven. The news
was wired to Capt. Gilbreth, but il
was impossible for him to come
home. Far away from all that Is
near and dear tn him, he can only
await the close of hOstilities anc
then return to find heart brok ell
wife and a little mound in the ceme-
terry that marks the resting place OF
the idol of his affections.
This il one of the stern realities Of
hard, cruel war.

The Sheriff Vacancy.

Under law passed by the last Legis.
lature, the term of Sheriff begins the
fret of September instead of the first of
January, as heretofore. The Legislature
made no provision: for filing the office
for the eight months between January
and September l. The law provides
for filling vacancies caused by death or
resignation, but never contemplated any
vacancy caused by legislation. Because
of this state of affairs, sheriffs elect,
whose terms would have begun January
1, instead of September l, have been
puzzled to know what to do. Sheriff
Shaw was of this number. The Attorney
General and Governor had their atten
tion called to the situation, and were
contem plating bringing a case before
the Supreme Court, to test the matter,
with the view that the Legislature
might have 20 be called to provide a
remedy.
At this stage of the matter, Judge w.
q. West wrote an opinion, setting forth
that the law passed last winter was un-
constitutional. because it virtually abol-
ished the Office of sheriff and left the
courts without any officer to serve theil
processes and orders, and subverted the
law and justice. His opinion was well
backed up as usual, with reason, argu-
ment and citation, and was received as 9
proper solution of the question, and by
request he has brought suit for Sheriff
Shaw before the Supreme Court; and il
that court holds his view to be correct
Sher ifs elect will be commissioned by
the Governor and will enter upon the
duties of their Office, January 1, as ifthe
law had not been passed.
