In making mention ot the pro
posed protracted meeting to com
mence at Union next Sunday, we
used the title of. “Reyerned’ in
connection with Mr. Kin well’s
name. We have since learned that
the title is objectionable in the
Chaistian church as applied to
their Jpreachers. We had no in
tention to offend—it was simplv
our ignorance. We knew that
Webster srys that “Reverned”
means “the title of a clergyman”
and by this we were led into the
mistake.

A Mysterious Shooting.
Lazt Tuesday night the family
of Jdsh Smith, who lives on Sand
mountain about s< von miles west
of Trenton, were seated on the ver
randa in front of the house when a
rifle shot sounded only a tew yards
away and the bullet sped only a few
inches over the head of a son of
Smith’s and a hired hand. A sec
ond shot was tired immediately
following the first i|and before the
parties could escape into the house.
After procuring guns the men
present took a search for the party
| or parties who fired the shots which
a poor aim and the darkness pre
vented from proving fatal to some
of the family.
About 12 o’clock the family re
tired without hearing anything
more of the would-be as
sassions until Mrs. Smith stepped
out, into the yard about the break
of day, when a shot was fired at
her at a distance of about thirty
yards, cutting out a whisp ot her
hair and grazing her head suf
ficiently 40 stun her for some time.
After bringing Mrs, Smith into the
house a further search for the party
who fired the shot resulted as did
the first.
The whole affair is shrouded in
mystery aud nothing hut tho most
thorough investigation will unrflvtl
bo mystery.

’Squire Cantrell, it does seem to

It is said that a certain young
lady met with quite a fall last
week. In ordertoreach the lucious
fruit from her favo.iite peach tree
she has been in the habit of climb

•‘Dear God, listen to my prayer,
v\ hich I make on bended knee
Keep me pure and show the way
Which some day will lead to Thee.”
The regular quarterly meeting
of irentou circuit of the M. E.
church South opened here Satur
day. . Presiding Elder, Dr, Carroll
occupied the pulpit in the morning,
and W. P. Haynes, who nad just
been licensed to preach, at night,
Sunday Dr. Carroll preached at
both morning and night service,
and in his usual eloquent, impres
sive and logical manner, scattered
the seeds of truth that will soon
germinate and make green the
fields, where before it had been so
barren. The meeting is attracting
a great deal of attention, large
audiences attending every meeting.
Now for a little personal matter
as concerns Ikie, which I hope you
will have the generosity t< publish.
It is said that several ot ih-.-vio
of Ikie’s pleasantries (theediioroi
the Dade included) have banded
to-gether to do Ikie up in this
week’s Dade. Well, that’s all
right. If the union of so much
avoirdupois matter, (tbe editor be
ing a sample copy) will but add to
the mental strength, or will im
part the least fraction of i.cmnere
tr the assiniue animal thus formed,
“’twil be a consumation devoutly
to be wished.”
There is only one objection to
the scheme Ben, and that is, every
i one will be asking you—you hav
tbc ears and the bray, thus being
the head of ihe animal the gentle
man that was so badly guyed at
j the pic-r.ic will answer for its cau
dal aupendage,—whether the tail
wags the other part of the bouy, or
vice versa.
Oh, Yes ! Ben you may do me np if
jou will.
But i he, ears amt bray shall be yours
still.
Ikie.
Oh my ! That Ikie should in his
distorted immagination conjure up'
the idea that the editor of this pa
per contemplated “doing him up”
is to us a startling revelation, Were
we unacquainted with Ikie’s gen
eral make up, together with his
mental ailments, we would in
mercy to him br tempted to believe
that Ikie had clasped on his spurs
for a display of his imaginary lit
erary ability. However his career
as a hutnerous newspaper corre
spondent mig..t have been the
brighter, had he tackled a smaller
fish before putting out his pin
feathers. We would present to ou>-
readers a character as unique as
any portrayed by Charles Dickens
—orio of nature’s phenommas.
Thus we are brought in contact
with a writer of sentimental(?)
poetry who spoils an ('-car Wildean
moustache in a youthful manner
altdg ether unnatural; one of those
mishaps of nature calculated to
disgust a young lady with his sen
timentalism even while feeding
heron cantaloupes. Now, since
Ikie has sufficient perceptive jpow
ers to enable him to find the head
and tail end of the assanine
monstrosity before he had discov
ered the animal itself, it would be
well for him to take heed lest the
animal bray and blow him away
with the heavier chaff, or with a
gentle wag of his tail knock all nis
fanciful jokes into a cocked hat.
Call ns an assanine animal if you will.
But the sentimental pod will drop
lower still
