AN AGED HOMESTEAD.
Rather Remarkable History Is
That OF the Brown place.

The farm on which MI S. M
Brown IS now Living, seven miles
east Of Hoplxinsyille, near the Fair
view pike, has been in the family
Tor more than 100 years, having beeu
settled by bis grandfather. Grave
ner Stuart, back il the i7thcentury.
During this long period there have
been but five deaths on the place.
Grarener Stuart died therein 1885,
or thereabouts, two Of his children
died there near the same date.
About 1883 a child of Mr.. Petty
died there. In 1880 Mrs. Jennie
Brown died, making total of only
FIVE during this long period and du-
ring said time there has been no Sc
rious sickness. Old Mrs. Jane Stu
artlived there many long years, but
at her death was living with Mr..
Brown S mother on an adjoining
farm, where Mrs. Cason is now liv-
ing. 1t is on this place that Grave
ner S. Brown now lives. He is a
brother of S. M. Brown. and Judge
Brown of this city. Grave, as he
is Familiarity called by every one, is
70 years old, never took drink of
spirituous liquors in his life, never
drank any coffee, never used tobac-
co, never had a personal difficulty
in his life, never took a doseof med
icine of any kind and was never
sick a minute in all his life. He is
known by every body IN the sur
rounding counties for his strict in
tegrity and moral worth and accom-
modating habits. He is also an old
bachelor and one of the ten Brown
brothers who rode in our county
fair about 40 years ago, and is one
of the four that are now living.

The Gibson Girl Criticised.

ANY one who has noticed care

ed carriage for a woman to-day.
His girls invariably have an erect
figure, with chest thrown forward
and abdomen in, fiat shoulder-blades,
head back, and chin up. All Of
these points are necessary to a
good carriage, but the type Of the
fashionable girl of the period, lacks
one important element Of attractive
es- in d woman. She l. not grace

The Du Maurier hcrolncs on the
other hand are graceful, however
they may be criticised in other re-

is to peculiar sometimes as to make
them appear absolute deiormities

NO. 81 TO CARRY MAIL.
New Schedule On This Division of
the l.. & N.

A new time card went into effect
yesterday on this Division of the l..
81 N, which changed the time of de-
parture of nearly all of the north
bound passenger trains. The most
radical change is that of the Chica-
90 limited, which has heretofore de-
parted at 9:36 a. m. Under the
new schedule this train will arrive
at 900 p. m. The regular north
bound passenger will leave here at
9:45 a. M, instead of 1918, and will
carry the mail formerly handled by
No. %, the Chicago limited. The
Accommodate will arrive at $50
D. M, and the st. Louis fast train
will pass here at 1924 p. m. instead
of $40. There was only Que change
made in the departure of south
bound trains. No. 81 leaves at 5:27
p. M, instead of SOB. The Chicago
limited passes at 1908 a. m, the
st. Louis fast train at OBS a. m,
and the Nashville Accommodation
leaves at OILS a. m.
