TO WHO IT NAY CONCERN:

This is to certify that | have crewelly
ronged Hold Quigly by circulating the
report to the effect that he has trampled
upon my love. There amt word of
truth in this. L is also false that | am
going to bring suit against Hold Quigly
Amos Hillyer, attorney-at-law, tried
to induce me to do so, but / will state
that there's no reason why should do
so, being as Hold Quigly has always
treated me like gentleman, has been
kind and lovink, and has never dam
aged my affecshions in any respect /
wish to exonerate Hold from all blame
in this matter and to say that neither
now, nor hereafter, will consider that
| have any claim upon his love which
he doesn't see fit to give me. do this
voluntary. (Signed)
MATILDY NATHALIE GREEN.
As soon as Matildy had signed the
paper, Hold folded it up, put 1t in his
pocket. clapped on his hat, and bidding
Matildy a cool goodnight, took his de-
oarture, chuckling to hisself. Hold then
hunted up Anne Hillyer, who was in
Hen Weathersby's store. where he read
the paper aloud to everybuddy present
shook the document under Ame's nose
and told him to do his worst Anne was
almost mad enough to bite hisself, but
he says so long as Hold holds that paper
no suit for breech of promise can be
brung by Matildy against him. AS for
Matildy, she is still heart whole and
fancy free. Hold says he thinks that
was a pretty smart trick on his part, if
he does say it hisself.

Ike Doolittle, who carries the mail
between Bingville and the county seat,
recently purchased a alarm clock to
wake hisself up with at o'clock a. m.
in the morning so as to get early

alarm clock he set it for 2:3o in the
morning and then went to sleep. Later
he was woke up by the thing ringin'
and got dressed, and leaving the alarm
clock still alarming, Ike hitched up and
went to the Postoffice, witch was closed.
Ike then woke up Eph Higgins, our
accommodating p NJ, and told him to
hurry up. Eph looked at his clock and
told Ike it was only II p. m. that night.
so ks went back home, and setting the
clock again for 2:30, went to sleep.
Well, the blame clock didn't go off till
the next morning at 9 o'clock. and as
a result Ike started out 6 hours behind
time. Ike Is now willing to sell the
alarm clock for what it cost

Miss Mollie Tucker purchased pair
of corsets at Hen Weathersbys store
asst week which she wore to church on
Sunday. They made Molly look turrible
neat, but, oh, what she suffered Mollie
had to get up and go home, when the
sermon was half over, because she
couldn't scarcely get a breath. Hen ex-
changed them for pair three sizes
bigger.
The sidewalks of Bingvilley and vicin-
ity is turrible icy and slippery at pres

md break their fool neck and then Bing-
vile will have a damage suit on its
hands with only $4.l7 in the town treas
ury to pay the damages with--the first
one injured stands the best show of
getting the $4.l7.
Sy Petersby. our accommodating cob
bier, is doing rushing business this
winter putting on heels and taps and
patching boots and shoes, etc. Mrs
Petersby says that she amt got nothing

Deacon Butterworth, one of the
staunch pillars of our church, got up
tother night between one and two in
the morning with an awful pain in his
stunimich and went to the cupboard to
take drink of ginger from the ginger
bottle, but by mistake he got hold of a
pint bottle of old rye which he keeps
for medicinal purposes only, and drank
all of it at one gulp, which relieved the
pain and made the Deacon so happy that
he set UP before the fire, singing "Old
Hundred and other hymns until day
light, waking up all the nabers in the
vicinity. The Deacon says We ort not
to grieve over mistakes which can't be
helped.
Mrs. Martha Tucker gave fancy tea

1t takes all the moral kurridge
we can muster up to fully reeulize
that the year of 1909 is now almost
a thing of the past, as you might
say. 1t is now part and parsel
of the annals of histry. 1t is went
from us forever and you can't bit
more call it back agin than you kin
see the back of your neck, witch is
impossible.
What have you did during the
past yeer, gentle reeder, to make
the world better or nobuller? Have
you did anything? What have you
did lords SCATTERING seeds9of shun-
shine around among your nabers so
as said seeds would sprout up and
bare smiles and good cheer? Have
you disseminated good will or have
you been tight wad like Cy Hos
kins who newer gives nothink
away free gratis except advise and
he wouldn't give that away if it was
with ennythink to hisself.
Unless you can recall somethink
you have did within the past year
to make somebuddy happy then it
is a faleyure so fur as you be con-
cerned and you ort to be ashamed
of yourself. AS we stand on the
threshold of a new yeer we ort to
make up our mind to make UP some
good resoolushion to start in with.
Everybody ushually makes good
resoolushion on Jan. 1 jest becuz
it's habit with them. Take Bill
Hepburn, our artistick blacksmith,
for instants. AS fur back as we can
remember Bill has allus swore off
drinkin on New Years. We met Bill
on the street yesterday and we asst
him if he was going to swear off
strong drink as ushual. Bill says,
"You bet I am-why, / amt missed
swearin' off drinLin ever sinst be-
gin to drink 40 odd yeres ago. If l
wouldn't swear off drinkin New
Years it wouldn't seem like New
Years to me tall"
We calkilate that the first Satter-
day after New Years Bill will fol-
lei his reglar custom by going to
the county seat and coming home
full as a goose and want to fife, and
terrify Seth Dewberry, our town
constubble, who is turrible good
friend of Bills when he is sober,
but Bill is a mortal enemy of Seth's
when he is full.
But whot good resoolushion be
you a going to make this New
Yeers, gentle reader? If you amt
got emmy partickler resoolushion
thort up as yet here is one for you

Tennessee group of the Tennessee Bank
ers' Association met in conference in

that the guaranty of bank deposits is
