The following dispatch from
Murfreesboro appeared in the Nash
vile American of Sunday: "The
family of Mr.. Ware, the Episcopal
Rector at this place, was seriously
poisoned last night by eating ice
cream. Three doctors were called
in as soon as they became sick, and
after several hours of hard work all
the patients were relieved. If medic
al assistance had not been secured
Immediately upon the first signs of
the poison taking effect, the doctors
say the results would robsbly have
been fatal. The cause is attributed
to the usual ice cream poison that
follows exposure of the cream in a
damp place, such as a cellar"
Strikes are something out OF
the ordinary in the South, and es,
pecially in Hardeman County, but
one is on here, on a small scale,
among the stave haulers. Located
about one mile west of Gainesville
is the Clark-Wright Stave Factory,
and upon the yards 100000 slaves
are piled. For the past two weeks,
twenty-five or thirty citizens of the
neighborhood, who have teams,
have been engaged in hauling these
slaves to Bolivar, a distance of ten
miles, at the rate of S3.75 per
thousand. With a few exceptions,
the haulers decided that the price
was insufficient, and determined to
demand raise OF twenty-five cents
per thousand.A On last Saturday
afternoon, the local manager of the
factory was notified to that effect.
He Informed the haulers that he
would communicate with the head
management and lay the matter
before them. In the meantime, a
majority of the stave haulers are at
tending protracted meetings, resting
from their labors and awaiting re
suits.
The second and last days
session of the Sunday Soho oil Con-
vention closed Thursday of last
week. While the attendance was
not large, considerable interest was
manifested by all delegates present,
who are earnest and sincere in the
work, and much good is expected to
result. In order to better organize
the Sunday School work, it was
suggested that large map of the
county be made, divided into
districts, showing the location ofeach
church. Mr.. G. ID. Durrett, of the
Presbyterian Church, Bolivar, was
unanimously chosen to superintend
this work, with assistants to be
appointed from each district. Mr..
w. A. Caruthers was reelected
President, Mr.. r. d. Whitley,
Vice President, and Mr.. c.. D. Dur
rett was elected Secretary and
Treasurer. Through the committee
on resolutions, thanks were return
ed to the people of Bolivar for their
hospitality, to Miss King, of Mem
phis, for her efficient work, and TO
Miss Mary Smith for her services
as assistant secretary.
