Through our ignorance of medicine we placed Drs. Grant fe Westmoreland in rather a ridiculous position last week. We said that theyextracted the Ileum of a negro wo-

man to prove that typhoid fever hasits seat in the bowels. This is nota disputed theory, as we stated, but

fact demonstrated and acceptedas true universally long ago. Theytook it out simply to prove that thewoman died of typhoid fever, sothat similar cases might be treatedfor that disease. Some physiciansdoubted the presence of typhoid fever in tho community and were nottreating for that disease, and thissettled the matter.

Workmen have been repairingthe bursted boiler at the mill allthe week. Work will probably beresumed next Monday. In tearingaway the rubbish it was found thatthe pipe which conveyed water intothe boiler was twisted almost asunder just where it entered the boilerand the water was wasting into theground instead of going into theboiler. This pipe was undergroundand the leak could not be seen. Itis said that the boiler may havehad plenty of water In it when thefires were made and that as theheat became more intense it forcedthe water out at this crevice andcaused the explosion before itcould be discovered.

Farmer Benefit To-nigh- t.

Aspen Hill.Our village was visited by a good

many of our citizens last Wednesday to attend the sale of the BrownMills, which did not sell, butrcntedto our neighbor Mr. CaL J. Rcduslor one year. I do wish some

mill-sens- e man wouldpurchase the mill and put it in goodrepair and attend to it as Scriuerdid his mill, always ready to grind,never disappoint a man, give goodturnouts, toll deep, and never bewithout a lot of nice, fine, fat hogsto look at. Wr. W. B. Bayless ofNashville, I understand, has purchased him a home over at ourneighbor village, Lester's, and willmove down soon. We are glad toknow that Mr. Bayless is comingdown in our section, for he is a stirring and very energetic old gentleman, and we welcome him amongus. A great many people are emi-grating south this fall. A train ofabout sixty wagons passed throughour section last week cn route fornorth Ala. I say to the large landholders of Giles county to cut theirfive hundred acre tracts up into fif-

ty aero lots and sell them out toemigrants for a good price, and soimprove the present labor system,and instead of a trifling labor classamong us, we would have energet-ic working men. Mr. Madden Waters and John Cosby were in thevillage last Sunday, (they live onShoal creek and don't sec the carseveryday), so they walked down toProspect Sunday morning and rodeiack in the evening on the cars.

John savs the cars ride fine andpretty tolerable fast. Mr. W. A.Chapman has started his mill againand will also distill again- - this fall.Mr. J. M. Dickson has finished hissorghum crop and says that it is notas sweet a business as he heard itwas. Mr. S. G. Harwell, L. A.Wilkerson, Dr. G. D. BuUcr, Capt.W. T. Ilobbs, James Gatler, Prof.& D. Clack and T. A. Fogg intendgoing to the fair next Saturday.

Brick Church.Mr. Editor: Having noticed

a piece in your paper sometime agoin reference to Mr. Lewis littleyear-ol- d boy commencing in hisa b's, and iii five months gettinginto the second reader, I have coneluded to let you know somethingabout a couple of children m thissection of country. One of them islittle Fannie Moore, daughter ofRev. J. C. Moore at Phelp's Chapel

ue is 6 years old; commenced inher a b's, and in a five months' session went through the spelling booktwice and also two-thir- ds throughby heart, or by head (as you maycnoose to call it); pronounced thewords more accurately than someteachers, giving each letter and syllable its proper sound and emphasis; scarcely ever missed a wordon or off the book. She passedthrough the first,soiond and into thefourth reader, and read almost periect lessons, noticing ner 6tops aswell, pronouncing her words correctly and speaking them fluently.How many Hannah Moores do yousuppose have perished slinging thecook pot and unknown beyondtheir immediate neighborhood i

The other is Geo. Jeff. Porter,son of Loaf. Porter near tho Burgess Academy, in the north-eas- tcorner of this county. He la only7 years old. He commenced in hisa b's and during a two-mont- h andand three weeks school (three daysof which he was absent), he passedthrough the spelling book and alsobeyond "banquet" by heart andthrough the first reader and intothe second reader. He had goodlessons, both reading and spelling.How many Miltons and Webstersare there whose sublime jwetry andburning words of eloqueuce wouldhave kindled a flame of admirationin the bosoms of their fellow-mo- r

tals for ages to come, had it notbecu that the crushing heel of someill fated thing forced them to lead alife of obscurity, tilling the soil orshoving the plane! Can the countybeat those children I doubt itvery much. Anonymous.

Long Branch.ine spirit ot improvement is

manifesting itself in more ways thanone in this section now. People areleaving tho old well worn channelsand marking out for themselvesnew ones, which shows that theyare being imbued with the prevailing spirit of the age. Farmers aredoing the work of five days in one,making the saving of labor an additional capital. They are cleaningout fence corners, cutting down oldthickets, taking the bushes fromthe banks of ditches and streamswhich gives an improved appearance to the looks of their farms.Well, that's right; we like to seeovjr farms look neat and our farmersappearing respectable. A nice farmindicates a nice owner, and showsthat he is a live man and makesfarming pay. One of tho most unpleasant eights that ever met mygaze is a farm going to rack. Igenerally judge the social characterand moral status of a neighborhoodby the appearance of its farms.Where you see tho lands, buildingsand fences in good repair, you generally find social, respectable andintelligent people.

Mr. J. Jr. Woodard is makingpreparations to build line residence, and has given the contractto Messrs. Iconrich fe Soladine ofLawrence county. They are tocommence work in a short time atseventy-fiv- e cents and a dollar perday, which makes it the cheapestwork in this country. It is astrange thing to me that first-clas- s

carpenters can afford to furnishtheir own tools and work at suchreduced rates. Of course this is afree country and every man has aright to do as he thinks best, butsuch a course will have a tendencyto cripple that trade in this countryand drive the native carpenters toother callings. We have no quarrelfor those who get their work ascheap as they can; that is theirbusiness, not mine. As we have noprotection we must grin and bear it

Law suits are nusti Here now.Last Saturday was a big day amongthe citizens of this section. Mr. N.S. Phelps was winding up his busi-ness and had several litigated caseswhich attracted somo attention.

Mr. Henry Cates and family arevisiting relatives in Alabama thisweek. Mr. V. B. Campbell of Ala-bama, formerly of this neighbor-hood, was in this community lastweek negotiating for the Phelpsfarm. Mr. Ben Stecn visited hismoiiicr in Aiaoama last wees. .air.G. V. Nelson of Lewisburg, Mar-shall county, is rusticating at Mr.John Purycar's this week. Hisgenial presence is quite a treat tous friends here; one especially.

Mr. Fletcher Cheatham fell on thecorner 01 bis Darn tno otner dayand received a severe shock andcame very near having some brokenribs. Oct. 15th. Kcllt.

Mrs. Mary E. Gains of Pisgahpresented to Dr. W. E. Lancasterthe other day a handsome gold- -

headed cane which she had orderedfrom Louisville through Mr. J. A.Cayce, as a memento of her veryhigh regard for him as a physician,
