the kind ever held, was opened up. One
thousand reptiles were on exhibition
including snakes of all rank and title,
from the diminutive ground snake, of
simple and modest habits, to 35-foot
python, who was as expensive TO keep
as "A horse, and vastly more trouble
some.
If your fancy ran TO rattlesna&es
there were a blue ribbon representative
of that branch of the reptile which
measured few inches more than six
feet in length, supposed TO be the big

undisputed possession of "A whole cage.
For the artist there were snakes
whose skins are riot of color, and a
prime assortment of backsnakes, cop
perheads. anacondas and a dozen other
varieties of the reptile family. Col
lRterut branches of the reptile family
were not neglected. The ever-changing
chameleon did a turn. and the exhibit

CAMPBELL'S STATION ACADEMY.

CAMPBELL's STATION, Doc. 2O.-On
Friday, Dec. Is, our school closed with
good attendance, despite the winter
winds and snow. The last week was
spent in examinations, and most all the
pupils came out exceedingly we'll. AL
though the test was not very rigid, it
was quite thorough, and some few of
us may have little guilty conscience
for not having done our best in our
school work.
In the first grade, Claud Mccall re-
ceived the highest general average; it
was 81. In the third grade, Jesse Mar
shall and Clarence Coggin were even in
their averages, which were SO. The
fourth grade was led by Guy COggin,
whose average was so Dulcie COggin
led the fifth grade, her average being
97la. Mary Kerr fell only & below her,
her average being ~ Is. viii Martin
had the highest average in the sixth
grade; his mark was u. The pupils of
this grade had not long ago entered it,
so were not fully prepared for the test.
Lula Kerr, whose average was 95A, led
the seventh grade. Ruby Craig and
Rosa Hobbs, also fell Ii below her,
their averages being % l6 Marye Red
ding, of course, led the eight grade, for
she was the only pupil in that grade.
Her average was 80 l.6.
Misses Wesson and Cochran and also
Mrs Chestnut, of Crab Orchard, Ken
lucky, favored the school with their
presence OH the last evening. Although
no public exercises were given. we
were glad indeed to have them come.
We are always glad to have our friends
visit us, and especially those interested
in school work
The entire school sympathize with
Johnny Kirk, who had to be absent
from school the last week on account of
diphtheria. He is improving slowly
now. Hope he will soon be perfectly
well again.
The arrangements for the ensuing
year have not been made, but we hope
to, shortly after the New Year be seen
progressing nicely with our school
work. Rosa HoBBs.

DR.. J. p. Herndon.
Deceased was 81 years of age, and
unmarried. At one time he was one
of the most popular men in Maury
County, and was twice honOred by
being elected to the office of County
Trustee. Kind hearted and liberal
he gained the good will Of every
one, and a bright and promising
future lay ont before HIM. Msfor

began to fail him, and at the time Of
his death he was confined in the
asylum for the insane at Nashville,
Many friends in this county and else
where, who rejoiced with him in his
victories and sympathized with him
in his misfortunes, will cherish his
memory with a feeling of deepest
sadness.
Friends and relatives here were
panied to learn this week of the
death of Kate Lou Russell, the six
year old daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
w. p. Russell, of PinewOod, Tenn,
which took place on the 4th of this
month. The parents have very
many friends and large connection
in the county, who will deeply sym
pathize with them in their sore dis
tress. May the following lines bring
some comfort to their aching hearts.
know not what it is, dear, this sleep so
deep and still:
The folded hands, the awful calm, the
cheek so pale and chill;
The lids that will not lift again, though
we may call and call;
The strange white solitude of peace that
settles over all.
We know not what it means, dear, this
desoate heart pain;
This dread to take our daily way, and
walk in it again;
We know not to what other sphere the
loved who leave us go,
Nor why we are left to wonder still
nor why we do not know;
But this we know; Our loved and dead
if they should come this day
Should come and ask US, "what Is life?'
not one of us could say.
Life is a mystery as deep as ever death
can be;
Yet oh, how sweet it is to us, this life
we live and see.
Then might they say-these vanished
ones-and blessed is the thought!
$50 death is sweet to us, beloved though
we may tell We naught
{ We may not tell it to the quick-this
mystery of death
Ye may not tell us, if We would, this
mystery of breath"
The child who enters life comes not with
knowledge or intent.
SO those who enter death must go as
little children sent.
Nothing is known, but | believe that
God is over head;
And as life is to the living, so death is
to the dead.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The Su-
preme Court of the United States
to-day refused to grant the writ of
certiorari asked by Robert l.. Tay.
lor, Governor of Tennessee, direct
ing the United States Court of Ap.
peals for the Sixth Circuit to Ger
tify and send to the Supreme Court
a transcript of the records and all
the proceedings in the lower court
in the case of Robert l.. Taylor
against the Louisville & Nashville
Railroad Company. The refusal of
the Supreme Court to day to issue
writ of certiorari asked by Gov.
Taylor is the final decision in the
long legal battle which has been go
ing on between the State of Tennes
see and the Louisville & Nashville
Railroad to compel the latter to pay
taxes in accordance with the as
sessed valuation of its property by
