What About Il, Gentlemen?

1t has been repeatedly reported
that the business men of Gaines
boro were going to organize a
company and enstall an electric
light plant in the near future.
We are wondering if the report
is true, or just talk. Wouldn't
it be grand and glorious to see
our old town with sparkling
lights on every corner and all
the business houses lighted up
so any one could see how to
trade and get back home without
knocking all the bark off their
shoes, not mentioning the l0l
other inconvenience. Lets get
together and put the thing thru.
What you say progressive bust
ness men? Put up or shut up.

Nashville Boats Taking Care
of River Traffic.

Nashville. Tenn. Jan. q. The
steamers Hill and Fall last week
brought in the largest cargoes
they have as yet handled and
officials of the Nashville Naviga-
ton Company, operating the
steamers outright since about
the first of the year, are assured
OF the splendid future ahead of
river traffic. Efforts are being
made to offer to the upper and
lower river sections a regular
service, whereby shipments of
products and live stock can be
made regularly to Nashville, and
on the other hand whereby coun-
try merchants and those of near
by towns can likewise receive
regular shipments of goods from
Nashville.
With it established that river
traffic can be made permantly
important, apparently there is q
much greater interest being
shown in the river and this is ex.
pected to increase as the traffic
also increases, which it is fell
sure will be the case.

Sheriff Makes Big Coup.

Sheriff j. M. Spurlock made
two arrests and captured about
rs gallons of liquor Thursday
evening, while en- route home
from Double Springs. The sher-
if was returning home from the
railroad in the mail hack, and
had cotton out to walk thru a.
little neck of woods, when he
met and arrested one julius
Cason, who is wanted here on q
charge of tipping, and who had
been in hiding for the past two
years.
The other party was Chester
Young, who had in his possess
sion two kegs of liquor. The
arrest happened while he was
passing the mailhack near Cal
Heady's. He was brought to
town, where he made bond.
Preliminary trial will be held
next Monday before Squire w.
Flynn.
Cason was lodged in Jail.

He Was In Love.

A dashing Jackson county boy,
who is dead in love recently
wrote his little bunch of sweet.
ness a letter as follows:
Dearest my love for you is
stronger than coffee. or the kick
of a cow, and when | think Of
you my heart fiops up and down
like my mothers churn dasher.
And visions of doubt creep over
my soul, until | feel like an old
cheese board made full of holes
by shippers. My heart oscilliates,
and my eyes stand open cellar
doors in a country town, and
sensations of exquisite JOY goes
thru my soul like young goats
running over a stable roof, and
feel as tho | could lift myself by
my boot straps to the height of a
church steeple. AS a gosling
swimmeth in a mud puddle, so
do / swim in a sea of delightful
ness when you are near me, if
my love is not reciprocated. |
will pine away like a poisoned
bed bug, and you will catch cold
over my grave"
What her answer was has not
been learned.

Arlis Birdwell and Negro
Drown In Backwater Late
Thursday EVeLing.

Arlis Birdwell, we'll known
farmer of RI, and Jim Neel, a
negro of Glasgow. KY. lost their
lives by drowning while swim
ming a mule across the back
water late Thursday evening at
Locks Branch. this county.
The negro who had come to
move some parties to Kentucky,
had crossed Cumberland river.
leaving his wagon and team on
the opposite side, and it was
while Mr.. Birdwell was assisting
him to cross the backwater, that
they were in some way thrown
from the mule and drowned
The bodies, which were re-
covered in a short time by Oscar
Martin and others, who witness
ed the scene, were clinched.
Mr.. Birdwell was known as be-
ing a good swimmer, and the
presumption is, that the negro
not knowing how to swim. pre-
vented Mr.. Birdwell from saving
himself.
Mr.. Birdwell and family re-
turned from Kentucky in Deem.
Der, where they had been maxi
ing their home for the past
three years, and were living on
his mother-in-laws farm, Mrs.
B. C Spivey, seven miles above
Gainesboro on Cumberland river.
Mr.. Birdwell as a most excel
lent young man, and his sudden
death has cast a paul of gloom
over the entire community.
Mr.. Birdwell is survived by
! his wife and one child; parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. A. 0. Birdwell. Of
R.3; 3 brothers and four sisters.
Funeral service will be held at
the residence this afternoon
friday at 3 o'clock. Inter-
ment in the Spivey cemetery
near the home.

Educational.
Al
Khy al ChiIdren Should Study Muslc

Many take music lessons, but
few become excellent players,
therefore, parents hesitate Ia
furnish piano instructions for
any child who does rot show un-
mistaKable talent, and piano
teachers frequently grow weary
on account Of the many seeming
ly hopeless pul lis. Doubling
parents discourage teachers. IN
different pupils and The general
public as well, should realize
that expert musicianship is not
the only aim Of piano study. and
that regular and intelligent
piano study is in many respects
ss helpful to the prospective
mechanic or lawyer, as to the
A0b0AN Val lAOSbs
The value of piano lessons to
the talented is evident, but many
persons believe the unmusical
child should not be forced to
practice on an instrument he
does not love and will never
master. | am persuaded that
piano practice is never more dis
agreeable to any child than the
study of arithmetic to many, Ii
is agreed, however, that for
practical and educational reasons
every child must study arithme-
tic. Music is also an exact
mathematical science, but with q
decided asthetic element added.
Quick and accurate vision. q
most valuable asset in our com.
pick modern life is remarkably
developed by the rapid noteread.
ing of the pianist, who through
long practice acquires a well
trained eve an intimate coordin.
