Woolfolk's proposition in the Jour nal to issue five liuudred million dollars of fifty-year gold bonds, to his family, and a little girl exclaimed: "Why, papa, I thought Woolfolk was hung.” Some greenhorn cut one of the shade trees on the sidewalk in front of Dr. Crum’s house. Now when people plant trees they do it for the beuefit of the town and to get shade, and any idle, un tlioughtful fellow that will cut them to death should be prosevuted.

Mr. Oliver is a very able minister, and generally has a revival of the church wherever he preaches a series of sermons. The bell will not ring ou account of the illness of Judge Pound, eitliei on Sunday or at night. Deputy United States Marshal George White brought two young men from near the line of Monroe and Butts coun ties yesterday charged with illicit dis tilling. Their names were Walker Head and Jim Bazil. They were tried before Commissioner Erwin, and bouud over in the sum of S3OO. The still was found withiu three hundred yards of Bazill’s house.—Telegraph. We are informed by note on table eti quette that “you should dip the spoon from you in your soup plate, and should drink the soup from the side of the spoon next to you. Now that is wondrous kind. Not necessary to get up and walk round the spoon and drink from the other side. Slowly but surely the rules of table etiquette are being conformed to the convenience of the guest. Rev. J. F. Pharr preached a learned as well as gospel sermon Sunday night, at the Presbyterian church. He is peculiar, in that you will not be impressed that there is anything very important being said at the time lie is speaking, but the more you think of the matter the bigger it gets. One cannot materially differ with him without getting outside the teachings of the scriptures to do so. It is reported that when the wreck occurred on Wednesday morning, Lamar Pound crawled through the window and went around to the door of the upturned coach to let his sisters, Misses Myrtle I and Elia out of the car. He found them looking for their hand satchels which -contained the monay and other valuables belonging to the girls. “That’s all right!” he said* “We are wrecked! Leave your baud satchel alone. Look for my umbrella, and come on !” A Sad Death. Mr. Ed Thomas, who went from this county to Texas a few mouths since, died two weeks ago. Mr. Thomas had the measles, and after getting up he re lapsed, and took pneumonia, from which he died. Mr. Thomas was a good joung mau.acd was in the very bloom of man hood. He had gone to Texas to acquire a fortune, which he would no doubt have made, but for his untimely death. His friends here are numbered by the circle of his acquaintance, for truly none knew but to love and appreciate his gen ial smiles. Judge Pound Paralyzed. On Monday morning last Judge E. E. Pound, our efficient county school com missioner and mayor of the town of Jack son, was attacked with a paralytic stroke completely disabling his left side, and partially paralyzing his tongue. At the time of the attack he was on his way to visit a school in the outer edge of Hie county, and was paralyzed while sitting in his buggy. The horse walked leisurely along until he arrived at the school house, where he stopped. Mr. Thomas, the teacher, saw the vehicle as it came up, and walked out to meet the judge. But as lie neared the buggy he was hor rified to find Mr. Pound unconscious and in a dazed condition. Securing help he lifted the gentleman from his buggy and carried him into the house, where re storatives were applied, and all attention shown him. After awhile it was decided to bring him home where medical atten tion could be had, as lie was in a very critical condition. At this writing (Thursday evening) Judge Pound is somewhat improved, though utterly helpless, and scarcely able to make his wants known. His many friends in Jackson and vicinity heartily wish that he may come out all right, though this is the second stroke of a se rious nature he has experienced during the last twelve months. Wreck oil the Southern. Everybody who saw the wreck near Jackson, which occurred about 2 o’clock Wednesday morning, with four cars and the engine and tender lying from ten to thirty feet from the track, pronouuced it a miracle that human beings could have been mixed with the flying debris and no one killed, or even hurt; but that is the truth of the matter. Misses Elia and Myrtle Pound, of Cave Spring, were in one of the cars derailed, and state they were badly frightened, as they knew they were near the trestle and all the lights “had been knocked out, leaving them in Egyptian darkness. There are several theories as to the cause of the wreck. One is that the nuts were left off the bolts at the rail joints by the hands who worked there the evening before, or that they were taken off by some murderous scoundrel on purpose to wreck tlie train. We are inclined to think and sincerely hope it was a mere accident. Another theory is that the engine broke down and thus threw the cars from the track, The two rear coaches remained on the track, and the flagman, Mr. J. A. Deavours, who was in the rear coach, hardly knew there was a wreck nntil he came out and saw it • limit Hi Coniinandmeiits. Dr. Byron gave us the following health commandments the other day: Thou shalt have no other food than at meal time. Thou shalt not make unto thee any pies, or put into the pastry the likeness of anything that is in the heavens above or in the earth below'. Thou shalt not fail to chew it or digest it, for the dys pepsia will be visited upon the children of the third generation of them that eat too much pies. But long life and yigor for those who live prudently and keep the laws of health. Hemember thy bread to bake it well, for he will not be kept sound who eat etli his bread as dough. Thou shalt not indulge sorrow or bor row anxiety in vain. Six days thou shalt wash and keep thyself clean, and the seventh day thou shaU take a great bath, thou and thy son, thy daughter and thy maid servant, and the stranger that is within thy gates. For in six days man sweats and gathers filth and bacteria ehough for disease; whereupon the Lord has blessed the bath-tub and li alto wed it. Remember thy sitting room and bed chamber, to keep them well ventilated, that thy days may be long in this land. Thou shalt not eat hot biscuit. Thou shalt not eat thy meat fried. Thou shalt not swallow the food un chewed or highly spiced. Thou shalt not keep iate hours in thy neighbor’s house, nor with thy neigh bor’s cards, nor his glass, nor w'ith any thing that is thy neighbor’s. FOUR BIG SUCCESSES.
