NOTES.
The political pot boils to a won
derful heat.
The primary was only primary,
you know.
The opponents of the primary
rather had the upper hand, al
though the-committee was equally
divided.
Marion Tatum is the most impar
tial chairman we ever knew. He
recognized everybody, and if they
desired, all at once.
“Gentlemen, I would rather have
my right arm split in shreds and
cast from my body than swallow
it.” He gulped it down, though,
without a sign of choking,

make it hot for the anti-primary
men. Wait till July and August,
Dave, and you can get in your
work without exerting yourself or
the horse you so generously offered
to lend us.

tree for $195.00.
On account of a restraining oru<sr
from Judge Fain the S. B. Austin

A small crowd in attendance.
BARBECUE.
The Barbecue spoken of for the
4th of July is now a certainty.
All the candidates for the Legisla
ture,(so far ar we can learn) agree
to furnish a sheep or a goat for the
occasion. John McMahan, Hado
Payne and Pay ton Pace are to bar
becue the meats. With such expe
rienced hands to “turn the mutton’’
added to all the dainties the young
ladies of Trenton and vicinity know
so well how to prepare, we may ex
pect a feast worthy to grace a
Kings table. On this day of all
days in American history, will the
candidate spout forth wisdom to
his expectant constituency. We
may expect some regular spread
eagle oratory A procession of
“Horribles”are to lend mirth to the
occasion.
The grounds will be decided upon
some time next week, when a com
mittee of arrangements wall be ap
pointed.
BRIEFS.
We will publish free to our sub
scribers all estray notices.
Mr. Brown reports that the wheat
crop this year will not make a half
one at his place. The wheat is
terribly eaten up by rust.

plough to the air or try to con
vince a man in inalt»r« of no con
sequence, he is a primary man.
Mr. C’has. Hall paid out to our
citizens over SISOO dollars for min
eral interests this week. Looks as
if the company meant business.
Let the good Work go on.
All the women go into ecstaeies
when they see Mrs. Cleveland’s
new spring walking suit The suit
is described as'being of gray cloth
trimmed with broad white braid,
and a very'tall gray hat, trimmed
with stone-color velvet, and snow
balls.
Trenton is in need of a drug store
Mr. J. l’i. Williams,to-day, endeav
ored to get some medicine for his
child who is seriously ill. One
physician wouldn’t let him have it
i'or fear he would need it for his own
patients, and others had none.
This is a deplorable state of affairs.
May the God of special blessings
deliver us from that, half educated
egotistic, self-conceited, affected,
all tongue, rich (in their mind)
class of people, who imagine that
in their own precious carcas blooms
every beauty, dwells every virtue,
‘sparkles every gem. springs every
fountain of art, genius and learn
ing; rises every planet of the first
magnitude, and sets every sun —
every body poverty stricken fools
but themselves, and they angels of
unspoiled type.
MYk TEE iOF 8 RUN AW/ Y
A young lady representing her
self to be an orphan secured a po
sition as cook for Mrs. Robertson
last Wednesday. All went well un
til an. aged father appeared Thurs
day morning and claimed the
young Miss as bis daughter, who
had run away from his home, near
Atlanta, in company with her elder
sister,who had gotten a position in
a Chattanooga dry goods house.
The gentleman refused to give
any name and put the same prohi
bition upon his daugter who had
give her name as Callie Smith.
Nevertheless Mrs. Robertson se
cured the card of ihe young ad
venturess, which read Miss A. L.
Hardin. The young ladies refused
to give any reasons for their very
comical little escapade.
DIED.
Russel Havron, aged 14, at Jas
per, Tcnn. last Tuesday, after a
painful illness £ three months.
His remains were brought to Tren
ton Wednesday evening, and
laid to rest Thursday in the fam
ily graveyard. To the father,
brothers and sister, we extend our
heart-felt sympathy.
Little infant of Mr. and Mrs.
Petitt of Rising Fawn, last Mon
day. Mrs. Petitt had just
stepped into the garden to get some
vegetables, leaving the baby in the
cradle apparently in sound health.
When sho returned, the baby was
dead. The grief-striehen parents
have the sympathy of all in this
their sad hour.
IN MEMORIAM.
In the midst of life we are in
death. Standing at thethreshhold
of great Eternity. In less than one
short week the subject of this
memoir passed from perfect
health and childish joys in time
to the Heavenly Lord. The little
bud that began to bloom here is
but transplanted into a sweeter
crime, to burst forth the full
blossom rare, in the presence of
God and holy Angels, aud where
Jesus is,to live forever and forever
in that grand and glorious home
of the Soul.
Father, Mother, Relatives, and
Friends, let us uot weep for the
absence of little Nellie, because she
has just gone on to Glory —too
sweet to be permitted to remain
longer here. Heavenly Father
hail need for her up higher.
There to stand out as one of the
beaken-lights, to guide us (who
survive her) ou to our Heavenly
Home. Little Nellie iu fact is uot
dead, but has just began to live,
and to be a little angel amongst
the grand company of angels and
the Heavenly lights.
Let us then remember that she
can’t come back to us, but that if
we will seek an interest in the
Blood of Christ live, for God, and
his course, striving all the while to
enter in at the straight gate —we
all may, and it is ours if we but
will so —go and live with little Nel
lie and all the happy throng who
have washed their robes and made
them white in the blood of the
Lamb, there to be blessed forever
more. Grand Event! Glorious
thought! S. li, Thurman,
