DUBLIN JARVIES.
The Happy Go Lucky Hacknen of
the Irikl M~etrOnOlia.

The Dublin ~jarvies are not what you
would call good whips. They drive, as
unladylike people say, like the divil;
they cut around corners featly enough
and go slashing up lleartbreaking hills,
but nine out of ten Of them drive with
q loose rein. They talk to the fare,
and the little horse runs on, doing the
best he can and following his w
dauntless will. l lay no fault upon the
jarvy. The Irish horse shares Paddy's
gragh for independence. OF him, too,
it may be said that he serves without
servility.
The jarvy-light hearted lad, be he
days an average of 6 shillings. The
fares are jolly cheap. For IL ''sct
down. within the boundary the charge
for two persons between 8 IL. IN. and
10 p. III. is only sixpcnce. BY time
the charges are one and six an hour,
with IN added sixpcncc for each sue
ceeding hour. Still the jarvy does fair
ly well. Barney, who is no better than
the others, took me to his home. 1t
was in Spring Gardens, where there
are rows upon rows of neat little red
brick cottages, with gardens and sta

A NARROW ESCAPE.
Dramatic Climax to an Exciting Will
Contest Case.


The conversation turned on the mo-
mentous effects of triies at times
when they were least expected to have
any influence at all. and this reminded
Mr.. Thompson. Of an episode in his
own practice us a lawyer.
ut was the most exciting legal bat
tie of my life" he said, and every one
present begged him to tell it.
"a fight was going on for the pos
session Of a large fortune" continued
he, while the others settled themselves
for the story. "a hayward 10 was
contesting the will of his father, and
the case abounded in dramatic fea-
lures. Charge and counter charge were
frequent. The young man was explo-
sive, hot tempered and without char
acter. How much his family had suf-
fered through him no n ever knew.
The young rascal had hoped to get bis
fathers vast fortune, and now he saw
the case going against him and the
money slipping through his fingers.
The last link in the chain of evidence
was all that was needed, and that
would be supplied by the testimony of
his sister. Her name was called, and
as she stood up-she was Il beautiful
creature-there arose a buzz Of admira.
ton such as sometimes comes from al
audience. She fustered at that and
hesitated, then started for the witness
stand. l got UP as she was passing
me, intending to reassure her, and ac'
cidentally stepped on her gown. Gowns
had a slight train in those days. My
awkwardncss saved her life"
He paused TOR Il moment to note the
effect OF his words. 1.-The admiration
Of those in the courtroom was the fina.
touch to that worthless brother. He
sprang up and, drawing a revolver
from his pocket, exclaimed, We'll, if
don't get the money you never will,
and fired at her as she anne toward
him. My checking her by treading or
her gown made her step backward, and
the bullet missed her by an inch."-

Wilson, "Uncle Billy" will take a
petition to Nashville for action by
the Legis4 ture seeking for a sepa-
ration of Districts Nos. and Is
and good slice of the lower end OF
the county from Obion to be at
tached to Dyer. What will be the
outcome we have no idea, but after
last Saturdays landslide seems to
us that the Legislature would be
very slow in taking up the matter.
The verdict of the voters opposing
a branch court was very emphatic
and decided, and if that is to be
taken as an index to the sentiment
upon division of the county, it
will be an uphill business Tor those
who favor separation. The way
it looks now that matter has been
shelved for some time to come.

A mistake.

In some way news of the death
of Dir. It. e. Edwards, who is a
cousin of DIR. T. D. Edwards, the
oculist of this city, has been con-
fused with the name Of the latter
in the dispatches which were sent
to the daily papers this week. DR..
T. e. Edwards lived in Mexico tor
a number of years and came back
to Obion County few years ago in
bad health. He was with his sis
ter, Mrs. Harpole, north of town,
where his death occurred. DIR. T. D.
Edwards, the we'll known oculist, is
in the best of health, and the state
ment is made to correct a false inn
preston made by these reports.

ant. Mrs. Powell also retires. She

inspector spent couple of days in
the postoffice last week, and in fact
he was here when the trouble arose
over the delivery of some circulars
sent from Obion concerning the
election. The circulars were in
tended for delivery Friday while the
inspector was present, but Mr..
Taylor informed us that the clerks
being very busy that day the in
spector suggested that the more
important mail matter be handled
first. Hence the circulars were not
put up until after other mail mat
ter had been disposed of. The fact
that they were not in the boxes I'M
til Saturday caused considerable
comment and criticism from Obion
parties. AS far as we are concerned
we have never found anything of a
serious nature justifying complaint.
OF course when there were new men
in the Office some mistakes would
occur, but on the whole the service
has given us satisfaction.
The new force, however, under
Mr.. Sinclair, promises to be as
good as the Office ever afforded and
we congratulate Col Taylor on his
