To the independent:

In Mexico there is one thing that
brings an American close to home. AT
shutdown in the mountains | have seen
a colony of wild monkeys gather in a
bamboo forest. The old monkey will
start to clatter and the young ones
join ia the clatter until the older ones
get mad and slap one of the brethren
over. Then you see general free
for-all fight, continuing until they be-
come exhausted and all scattered to
the woods. Every time / saw one OF
these rows it reminded me Of a Ma
tional democratic convention. for Gen.
u. S. Grant once said: THE democrats
can always be depended upon to do
the fool thing at the wrong time.
Yours truly,

Revival Closed Sunday Night

After two weeks of faithful preach
ing, Rev. W. c. Swope closed out Sun
day night, and the fruits of his meet
ing were six additions to the Method
ist church, all young boys and girls.
The hardened sinners still wore the
impenetrable coat of mail which the
sledge-hammer Of gospel preaching
cannot crack. t
Monday. night he delivered a tenn
perance lecture which was well at
tended and highly spoken of by the
audience.
Bro. Swope said he did not think
that he was the preacher for Selmer,
as there were too many cold-storage
christians in all the churches. Guess
he was about right.

Miss Lucille McDade; one hour.
At one o'clock, Prof. ]. W. Brister,

Brister needs no introduction to the
people of McNairy county.
We most earnestly urge that ev-
cry teacher in the county be present

every teacher to hear Prof. Brister

closer touch with the school system
of the state. He is one of the trained
and skilled school workers of the
state, and is authority in every de-
partment of education in Tennessee.
The teachers will remember that it
will be necessary for each of them to
take the examination in the Reading
Circle Course in May, and therefore
it is absolutely necessary that all
teachers be present at this meeting
to get general information on these
subjects.
The general public is invited to
come out and take part in this meet
ing. This is by far the most import
ant meeting that will be held in the

CAPT. II. A. HUNTER
/. CALLED TO HIS REWARD.
One Of Oldest Citizens in McNairy
u County Dies Saturday.

| The final summons came to Capt.
Fl. A. Hunter at his home on Cypress
Avenue, Saturday, March rs, at l::30
p. M. glga sas ga9
He was one of the very Oldest citi-
zens Of the,county, being 81 yeers, 7
months and Is days old. Old age
with its infrmities finally brought low
this stalwart form. His tottering
steps for months evidenced the worn
frame. He was confined to his bed
about a month and peacefully passed
into an eternal sleep Of rest. He had
a record that perhaps not one in a
million American citizens has, that of
protesting religion and joining the M.
b. church, South, at the age of IL
years, and was therefore for seventy
mine years a professor of religion and
an earnest christian. He had friends
by the legion, aud was afriend to the
worthy poor, but had great aversion
to everything sinful and not up to per-
sonal honesty.
Funeral services were held at the
Methodist church Sunday afternoon
at one O'Clock, and interment at the
Falcon cemetery. The services were
led by his pastor, Rev. John w. Car
nell, assisted by Revs. J. w. Wallace
and ]. B. Maxedon, followed by ]. W.
Prather and ]. W. Purviance by re-
quest, who spoke words in commend
alton of the life and character of the
deceased.
He leaves an invalid wife and two
daughters, Mrs. ]. B. Maxedon and
Mrs. ]. H. Steadmae, with several
grand and great-grand children.
We with all others bemoan his loss
and extend oympathy to the afflicted
relatives.
