time we say and paid our respects
to Miss Elsie Belle. The little
Miss said I'm her way that she
liked the looks of things in this
world, that there was much of
song and beauty, that soon she
would be able to help mamma do
''lots of zings,' that occasionally
she keeps her papa wake
o'nights but that he seems t.
like it. We cooed with her for
awhile, admired her dark hair,
sparkling eye and yivacious man
ner, and wishing her well, we rode
on.
We stopped in front of the stand
at race track, where we're Mesdames
Minerva Williams and John Ma
gowan and Mr.. George w. Ander-
son, watching the training of
horses. On the Kiddville pike we
turned back to look for a book
dropped somewhere. This delayed
us over an hour. The book was
found and returned to our Office
during our absence. Dinner was
over when we called at Bert Nc
Clure's. He was anxious to fry us
a chicken, but we would not per-
nit that. Milk and butter, cold
from the well, bread and syrup fur
nished an excellent refreshment.
We do not know for how many
years he has been an "old bach
elor," keeping his own house and
doing his work We suggested
matrimony as good for men and he
seemed to agree with us, but made
no rash promises.
At Kiddville we stopped at A. T.
Pieratt's store. Here we learned
that Prof. John Gof, near Indian
Fields, had typhoid fever since
Aug. 2S,
We stopped socially at Mrs.
Sallie Hadden's. Here were R. NJ /.
Eubank, wife and son, James Wade
and wife, Miss Griggsby and Mrs.
Greene. Mr.. Eubank, having sold
his farm, contemplates a pros
pecting trip to Shelby county
w. j. Ramsey has probably forty
pet rabbits and has sold several.
From Thompson Station we went
west on pike TO j. A. Huffaker's,
then across from Winchester pike.
At dark Frank Miller was finishing
unloading wagon of tobacco when
we rode up. We spent the night;
Mesdames w. w. Spates, of Beth
ell, and Owen Morris, of our city,
had spent the day. Here we
learned that Rev. w. w. Spates,
(Methodist minister at Sharpsburg
and Bethel) who was attending
conference at London was very
sick and had telegraphed his wis
to come to Winchester for further
word. Mrs. Miller was Miss An
ME Scobee, daughter of r.. A. SEQ
bee, of Winchester, and had been a
schoolmate of Mrs. Trimble. Resin
and Lizzie are their children, social
and attractive. Hurrah for Resin,
he neither uses tobacco nor drinks
intoxicants. He will smile at and
be justly proud of that gold watch
and, and and farm(?) the gift
from his grandpa, if he does not
use tobacco and whisky till he is
81. Hurry up, grandpa, and make
the selection. A farm, occupying
it, then in the springtime a young
mans fancy lightly turns, ETC., etc.
Mr.. Miller has an East Tennessee
telephone. The rental is SOC per
month. We saw their convenient
hen house. If any of our readers
want information about it call on
us or Mr.. Miller.
SILo.
Yes, we saw James e. Scobee's
Silo on Thursday morning. Farm
ers who raise many cattle should
see or hear of his arrangement
for sheltering and feeding them.
His stock barn is large enough to
hold 130 cattle on ground floor
In the center is circular pit or
