Former Governor Peter Turn.
ey of Tennessee had a peculiar
experience with General Stone

ginia, of course. Colonel Turn.
ey had never seen the general,
but about midnight received
orders to prepare three days
ratious and be ready to move
at moments notice. Two
hours later came an order to
proceed in Il certain direction,
and that at certain point on
the road he would find guide.

they came upon a plain look.

and mounted on a little pony.
He fell in with the head of the
column and along they rode,
still in silence. Soon after
daybreak the newcomer said:
Colonel, had you not better
halt your men for breakfast?"
Il will before long" was the
reply. The silence was only
broken half an hour later by
similar suggestion and Il similar
reply. Finally the newcomer
stopped glancing around at the
sky and landscape and said:
Colonel, halt your men for
breakfast"
Colonel Turney, thinking
that this was plain country
man who felt over sorry for the
men, did so. When the march
was resumed the stranger re
marked that the regiment was
struggling a good deal, and
when Colonel Turney gave a
command for the bead of the
, column to short step the
stranger said mo. that will

was command to which the
Tennesseeans were not ac-

a parSon

We are happy to learn that
the Monroe County Court at
last has awakened to the real
ization of the fact, tina t tn ere is
an east end of the county and
are willing to treat it neatly.
Monday Messrs l. N. Borden,
Butler Yates, Thomas Elzea,
j. II. Umstattd, Marion Nolen,
Charles Tewell and Joseph
Hayes put on their best bib and
tucker and appeared before
that august body with clean
hands and faces wreathed in
smiles and with a bow proceed,
ed to give their best song and
dance, which was duly reward
ed with a solemn promise to
erect a good bridge over Little
Indian Greek. The bridge will
cost from 5000 to $3.50. 1t has
been needed badly for forty
years. We take off our hats to
the court and say: we'll done
gentlemen. The committee of
gentlemen who went to Paris
cannot be praised too highly
for the interest they take and
energy they put into the "git
there" good roads and bridges.
The bridge will be built at
the corner of the j. Porter
Bush place, where the South
Gravel Road and the old Han
nibal and Paris Plank Road
crosses the creek.

Twas Glorious.


shone bright and the breeze was
pleasant.
AS per program the people
met at the park on time and
were treated to some fine music
by the band and male quartette.
From start to finish every thing
went through as planned before
hand and what was remarkable |
it was completed on time.
The speech Patriotism by |
Hon. r. L. Woodson was a very
pleasant surprise to most of
those present. 1t was eloquent,
to the point and reached the
better part of man, teaching as
it did, love tor God, love for
man and love tor ones country.
The address delivered by Rev.
1. w. Read. was smooth like
the purling brook, logical in
deductions and sandwitched
with living sparkling illustra.
tions that clinched the point
aimed at.
The short talk by Rev. H. W.
James at the cemetery was the
right thing at the proper time
and deeply interesting to those
within the sound of his voice.
The opening prayer of Rev.
r. B. Briney at the park and
the closing one by Rev. ]. E.
Travis at the cemetery, we're
pleas for thoughtfulness here
and hereafter, pleas before the
throne for a betterment of their
fellow man, for kindness, gen.
tleness, love and forgiveness.
Prayers that knocked at the
doors of the heart, prayers that
not only knocked at the doors,
but catered therein and made
the hearers all the better for
their utteranCe.
There was at least four times
as many people listened to th e
addesses at the park as did last
year and the attention given
was as perfect as could have
been TO sermon on a Sunday
morning IN a meeting house and
many were the tear dimme d
eyes and wet cheeks, before tn e
two speakers had finished.
That quiet city was beauti.
fully decorated with flowers,
embl ems and flags and all
through that busy throng could
be seen a vein Of pleasure at
being there, interviewer with
, one OF Subdued sadness.
, The citizens turned out well
s and it was astonishing to see
y the number of people, who had
! dropped their work and come in
+ from their rural homes to honor
their loved ones with though is
+ of the past, with deep retrospec
:. tion of the many things that
, they thought forgotten, but
was brought to light and life
4 by the dropping of a rosebud
on the mound beneath which
the loved one slept.
There was not a single little
S strip of green sward there bu
IS was honored and some almos
'e hidden from view by the tokens
Ie of love.
The new cemetery, Hol.
y Rosary, in which few bodie
{ have been placed was treated
e in the same kind, loving an(
II affectionate manner as wer
" those of st. Judes. A fellow
t. feeling makes us wonderoG'
le kind.

He has his Office with Mr.. Bissell in

both energetic and we predict they

Likely Not Crazy
Asylum Authorities Find Nothing
wrong so far with her mind.

Miss May Mayfield, Of Salem, aged
% years, who was committed two
weeks ago last Monday to the asylum
at Weston as lunatic, after Or. Dew
had duly examined her, may be dis
charged from that institution as loot
insane" She has been there two
weeks and in all that time has shown
no symptoms Of insanity. Her be-
havior has been good and she quietly
submits to the disciplineand treatment
accorded her at the institution. The
authorities will keep her there some
days yet, with the intention OF giving
her thorough test before discharging
her. Ifnothing bad develops she will
then be u free woman.
1t will be remembered that she
claimed at the time Of her cummit-
ment, the proceedings were prompted
by jealousy on the part Of a Miss
Stephenson, Of Salem, in whose family
Miss Mayfeld had been domestic
She charged Miss Stephenson of trying
to get her out OF the way, SO that she
could receive the undivided attentions
of young man, who was beau OF
both. but who seemed to pay Miss
Mayfield more attention than he gave
the other young lady. On the other
hand Miss Stephenson claims the girl
threatened to kill her.

not crazy, she ought to have enough
friends to see that others geta term
in the penitentiary for their outrage.
