CARD FROM THE BANKERS.

To Our Friends and Patrons The
custom of allowing overdrafts by banks
is inconsistent with safe banking
principles. 1t allows the customers to
borrow from the bank without its con-
sent. 1t forces the bank to furnish
money Unexpectedly, and frequently at
times when it is not desired to increase
its loans. 1t draws from the funds of a
bank which have been set apart and re-
served to pay depnstors who have
money to their credit. 1t is therefore
6euided by the directors of the under
signed banks that after July 10, 1900,
no customer will be allowed TO overcheck
his account under any circumstances
whateve-.
The officers Of each bank will take
pleasure in granting loans to their Gus
toners in sums to suit their wants, on
presentation of satisfactory notes, but
they are forbidden after July Is to pay
anv cheek where the drawer has not

A PLUCKY OFFICER.
Deputy Sheriff Arthur Church Pre-
vents Jail Delivery.
Attacked by One of the Prisoners
as He Went to Lock
Them Up.

Through the physical strength and
pluckyness of Deputy sheriff Arthur
Church, delivery of prisoners was
prevented Sunday night at the
county Jail.
1t is the custom of the officers to
turn the prisoners from their cells
during the daytime and allow them
to walk about and exercise them
selves in the corridors. Sunday night
about 8 o'clock, Deputy Church went
up stairs to lock the prisoners back
in their cells as usual, taking "A
negro trusty with him. After all of
the prisoners except one, who had
been kept on the outside to assist in
fastening the other locks, had been
turned inside the inner door. the
Deputy then unlocked the door to
let the remaining prisoner in. Just
as he did this, one Of the prisoners, a
negro by the name of Lewis Ldcius,
who had armed himself with piece
of mop handle, struck at Church's
head with the stick. The officer
was too quick for his assailant, how
ever, ana warded the blow off with
his arm and then, quick as flash
he grabbed the negro by the coat
and flung him backwards over his
shoulder. The prisoner struck on
his head and hands against q bath
tub. bruising his Uranium con-
si1erably then, rising to his feet,
he made break for the outer door.
Three other prisoners, seeing their
opportunity, started also to run.
The officer had his hands full at
this inncture, and it is remarkable
that the prisoners did not overpower
him and some of them make their
escape. He proved that he was
equal to the emergency, however, by
grabbing the leader as he was max
ing for the door and then pushing
himself backwards. forced the other
prisoners back into the corridor.
Sheriff Hight, hearing the calls
of his deputy, ran to the scene,
and the jail-birds were fastened
securely in their cages again
Lucius, the leader in the affair, is
large. burly negro. He was ar
rested by Policeman Butts several
weeks ago charged with stealing "a
horse and mule at Mt. Pleasant, and
was bound over to the Circuit Court.
Deputy Church is not a man of very
large statue, but when it comes to a
"show down" of muscle and courage
he is neither very "small'-a state
ment which the negroes in Sunday
nights affair will doubtless bear
testimony to.

CARD OF WITHDRAWAL.
Mr.. John Latta Withdraws From the
Race FOR Tax Assessor.


To the To'ers of the Ninth District:
Since my announcement as a
candidate for Tax Assessor for the
Ninth Civil District of Maury
County, the County Court, in spirit
of economy to be commended, has
cut down the fees of tnis office TO a
point where l feel that the office will
not pay enough to Justify me in Civ.
ing my time to it, and therefore L
have dec ded to withdraw from the
race. / am not unappreciative, how
ever, of the support and encourage
menr very many friends have shown
me, and | wish to assure them of my
gratitude for their partiality and
trust.
feel that it is not out Of place in
this connection to say that the report
that had announced for this off ce
because / saw no hope for Mr..
Nights reelection to Sheriff, and
that must find something else to
do il entirely foreign to the truth.
/ have never doubted Mr.. Hight's
re election, and [ was never more
positive of it than now know that
ne has made the people of Maury
county true faithful, efficient and
impartial officer, aud l nave that
faith in the people of this county
that they will not refuse to reward
such an officer with second term.
Very truly your friend,

rietor Of the Sentinel Record Of Hot

ask IS that COrbett be given a reasonable
time in which to res tore his hands to good

for Brady to insist that Corbett fight with

that Corbett wrecked both hands on JEFF

making more money now than Jeffries

Ing or Wednesday morning by several hun
dred comrades. Colonel Embry is chief
Quartermaster on the stan Of Gen. ]. S.
Carr. of the North Carolina Division of
Confederate Veterans. and he came in ad-
vance to see that the quarters we're in
readiness to receive the men.
One Of the first Of the Confederate forces
10 enter Louisville was Lamar Fontaine,
who reached the city today. Throughout
the war Fontaine, with the exception of
Robert StringfellOw. was the best known
scout on either side. The stories of his
hairbreadth escapes read like a romance,
and his acts Of daring and devotion to the
cause We're numerous. He IS said 10 have
been wounded more than thirty times,
and only the most remarkable constitution
kept him on more than one occasion from
the death which seemed inevitable.
In one OF the battles about Richmond
Foutaine is said TO have killed or wound
ed sixty men Ensconced behind an old
bTlck wall and armed with q repeating
rifle. which he had captured from the en-
emy. Fontaine set himself the task Of dis
lodging a Federal battery. which had tax
en- up its position on the hill above him.
His own security lay in the fact that the
guns could not be trained sufficiently
low to play upon him. The story goes
that he fired sixty shots within a like
number Of minutes. taking careful aim be-
fore each shot. and 1T the end Of that time
sixty Federal gunners lay dead or wound
ed beside their guns. What remained OF
the battery then withdrew. and the move
ment OF body Of Confederate infantry.
which had been checked by the FIRE OF
those guns, was resumed.
The court Of honor erected for
the reunion opposite the review
ing stand is a great white arch surmounted
by eagles. while in the centre is a Confed-
crate shield. BY day it appears in daz-
zling whiteness and by night it will be
ablaze with hundreds OF electric lights.
