race between Elem Thomas, trustee Of
Maury county, and e. E. Fry, trustee
of Benton county, to the state capitol
from their respective counties yester-
day afternoon to settle with the state
treasurer, Trustee Thomas beat his
opponent by about forty minutes,
These two men are the first trus-
tees in the state to settle with the
state treasurer. Each year they have
made the race TO be the first one to
make this settlement, but the race
has always been won by the trustee
of Maury county, because the train
from that county reached Nashville
earlier than the one from Benton
county. As soon as the county courts
met yesterday in their counties, the
two trustees made haste to get their
credits. after which they caught the
trains for Nashville. The Maury
county trustee reached the capitol at
12:45 o'clock, while the Benton coun.
" trustee arrived at 1875 o'clock.

ured terms the action Of the State
Democratic Committee in attempting
to change the plan provided for Sc
lecting delegates to the State conven-

egates to said convention to be held
on Thursday, August 6, the date OF
the regular August election.
The Committee did not met until

was in session much business of vital
importance was transacted. The list
of delegates presented by James A.
Smiser and Chas. P. Hatcher mem
bers Of the returning board, were
adopted by the Committee with an
emphatic protest
The plan adopted for the legislative
primary provides for the election OF
delegates from the old districts on
August 6 under the legalized primary
law, the convention to meet two days
later. Voters in the primary must be
well-known white Democrats who Will
pledge themselves to support the nom

IS Getting Of the directors OF the
lry County Fair Association was
held Saturday and some important
steps were taken preparatory to the
bic fair this fall Probably the most
important matter was the appointment
of a committee to select a site and
let the contract for the erection of
large barns for sheep, hogs, cattle,
mules and jacks 1t is the purpose OF
the association to make the live stock
department better than ever before
and have the exhibits on the grounds
where they can be viewed for the
entire week.
Suitable barns are OF course neces-
sary, but this was not the only impor-
tam matter taken up in this depart
ment. The association has decided
upon a large increase in the premium
lists for cattle, hogs, sheep, mules,
and jacks, and instructed Manager
NcGaw to revise the premium llst
of last year and present it an early
meeting. The revised list will be EN-
braced in the catalogue and published
in The Herald for the information OF
stock men.
Most satisfactory progress was re
ported in the preparatory work for the

of the largest and most comprehensive

SESSION
COUNTY COURT
LITTLE BUSINESS OF lMPoR-
TANcE TRANSACTED BY JUS
TIcEs OF PEACE.

Monday mornings session OF the
County Court was the quietest and
most uninteresting that has ben held
by that august body in many moons.
There was scarcely a ripple when
the report of the grand jury was pre-
scented recommending that there be
an investigation of the management
OF the work house The report was
received and filed but no action was
taken it being the concensus of opin-
ion that the County Court had no
power in the premises.
There was a little disturbance over
the account to pay for the winding
up of the court house clock, some Of
the justices taking the position that
ii was costing the county too much
and ought to be discontinued. But
the account was allowed. 1t was de-
cided, however that the iaitors at the
court house were costing too much
and an order was passed reducing
the number from three to two.
In the course of the discussion over
the employment of janitors it was
stated that the county was spending
$4,000 year more than its income.
The court was called to order at 10
O'Clock by Judge Gordon and prayer
was offered by Squire VOORHEES,
Deputy Trustee Puryear submitted
the annual report of the trustee for
the past year. The figures given in
this report have heretofore been pub
lished in The Herald. The report
was adopted and the Trustee was CIV
en- credit for the errors, insolvencies
and double assessments shown there
in. The necessary certificates were
tt once signed and the Trustee took
the 1850 O'Clock train for Nashville
in order to sustain his reputation for
being the first Trustee in tn State to
make settlement with the Comptrol'
Ter.
Judge Gordon announced that he
had made arrangements with the SUI

OLD FOLKS DAY
AT C. P. CHURCH
BEAUTIFUL SERVICE MARKS A
UNIQUE MEETING ON SUM-
DAY MORNING.

Sunday was observed as Old Folks
Day at the First Cumberland Presby.
terrain church and large congrega-
lion participated in the exercises.
Songs used in the old camp meetings
were sung, and Rev Geo II. Mack,
the pastor. preached a special sermon
on the text. The hoary head is a
crown OF glory if it be found in the
way of righteousness" Prov 1881.
He said in part.
'There is something homogeneous
between gray hairs and an evil life.
1t is supposed that as men have
passed thus far through the school OF
life, have sustained the chastenings
OF good and i'll fortune, they would
choose the righteous course as the
true one. Youth with its passions
and errors is past the vision Is now
clear to see what is true and good.
Cato urged men not to add the dis"
grace of wickedness to old age. But
if the life has been righteous one,
gray hairs are glory-a crown OF
glory. They evoke honor and love.
And it is the duty and privilege of
all to share this glory.
Some, however, will say Such
talk is largely ideal. Poets may say,
as does Browning,
"'Grow old along with me, the best is
yet to be,
The last of life, for which the first
was made
"But YOU forget the infirmities Of
age, the weakness of body and the
wandering of mind
Yes, age is the period of physical
decline, when bodily vigor recedes
and when material support and the
common comforts are often matters OF
anxiety. But the picture In the
Twelfth chapter of Ecclesiastes when
the evil days come and the years
draw night when thou shalt say, I
have no pleasure in Them this is not
of old age in the time of gospel priv.
/ ileges, but in the darker times of Old
Testament life. And it is a picture
drawn by pessimist who says, Vanity
of vanities, all is vanity.
For it is possible for one to rise
above the material and physical-to
grow old gracefully. Have you not
seen examples about you these
lovely sainted lives whose
presence among us is as
sweet incense. They are left here 10
show us how to live. They are beau
tiful roses in Gods garden. 1t is
largely with our choice how we will
go down with the years. Mrs. A. D..
