Tll\V.\ AM! I ill ATI. o SQUIBS GATHERED HERE AND THERE. <> “He am not the greatest man Who's got the biggest muscle; She am not the finest gal Who toats the biggest bustle.” Chi F-school is docidely on the in crease. Hon. J. W. Blevins was in town Tuesday. Mr. Newt Sells has gone to Bir in ingham. Numbers of strangers have been in town this week. Mrs. W. S. Taylor left for Bran don, Ala., last Tuesday. Miss Willie Tatum is visiting the family of F. C. McKaig. Wildwood was blessed with a protracted meeting this week. One of the most remarkable fea tures of our town is—is its (juici ness. Miss Vorda Williams has been spending several days at her grand-father’s. Boys are in demand at Sulphur Springs. Thirty girls are reported and not one boy. Dr. Jas. R. Brook spent last Sun day in Trenton. This is a chest nut that but few can crack. Mr. Ben T. Brock moved into his new house Wednesday. It is “a thing of beauty and a joy f orever.” Miss Florence Pace has a school of eighty-seven scholars at Cole City. This speaks this young lady , popularity as a teacher. Obby Bryant an <ljC raw ford Sto vali,havo decided to become farm ers, as a Farmer seems to “stand in” better than any one else. When you go to catch the 5 o’clock p. m. train, take a pillow and a quilt along, or just before day you are liable to take cold. Hello, Bobby! Hello! Won’t that mule draw. Of course he’ll draw, said the former; he draws the attention of every fool that passes. Wiiat lias become of the petition for an additional mail train? W; will bo satisfied with our mail. ar rive, if you will only give us our little “jerk.” The opening of the Tree ton ball room will probably take place Tuesday night, Sept. 4. Trenton can boa.it of one of the most ele gant ball-rooms in the county. Miss Virgie Killian has been quite ill for several days past. Miss Virgie bus been teaching school at Union with an average attendance of sixty scholars. Mr. W. H. Bates, has returned to his home, Hoi Springs, Ark., after spending several days among relatives and old associates. Tins is the First visit Mr. Bates has made Trenton in seventeen years, aud it would be hard to picture the many Surprises that greeted him. Patience has its charms as well as its reputed virtues. The charm is in its cheerfulness; the virtue in its quiet fortitude to wait and trust; and it is probably no better illus trate d than by the country as he quietly labors day alter day, “waiting and trust!ng”that his sub scribers will appreciate his efforts enough to send him at least a por tion of the subscription they owe him. Mr. Noah Killian has returned from the West after two weeks ab sence. In an inten Sing communi on’ion,pui)iiid;ed la. f week,Mr. Kil lian, to illustrate the intensity of the heat in that section, said that popcorn capped on the stalk. This, of course, was considered a fish story, and attributed to an an over wrought imagination. Even our “devil” when he read the state ment, remarked, “why I thought Mr. Killian was a church member.’ But if any one doubts the truth of the statement, please call at this ollioe and we will produce the corn. Mr. Killian brought m ear of it back with him and intrusted half of it in our care. The corn, though is not capped quite as lull as it would be over coals of fire, it is almost ready to eat, Rains. Weather cool and pleas ant. Street working to-day and to morrow. If there is one jolly, good-hu mored soul missed by cm t'Hvn, j is Payton Pace. Mrs. Q. W. M. Tatum has been very ill for several days, but is somewhat better. Our Ordinary has made a great improvement in the shape a bul letin board for the court house. X Mr. Brad Tatum lost his fine Jersey cow last Tuesday morning. It is supposed to have died of ntur ren. Dr. F. H. Field, Dentist, will be in Trenton court-week. Those wish ing his services will please call early. Mis Lucy Portci, who has been confined to her room for several days with measles, is able to lie out again. Dr. E. B. Ketcherside after a brief struggle with the yellow jaun ders, is up and able to tender his services to the public again. Many who heard the “liberty loving,” heart rending speech of of George Ayers, sentenced for es caping from the penitentiary,would delight to hear a rewiition of his eloquent appeal for mercy. If the mention of convict escapes from the penitentiary in Dade county,had not ceased to be news t o our readers, would we say that Jim Holt and two other convicts had escaped from the Rising Fawn camps. It has been discovered that if you desire to win and hold the eternal affections of our society girls, it would be well to invest in a good top buggy. Buggies will be numerous about the Fawn 'next week. Mrs. J. G. Jacoway, was called from Brandon, Ala., last Friday night to attend the bed-side of her husband, Rev. J. G. Jacoway, who was dangerously ill. Mr. Jacoway has since rallied from the attack, and left, accompanied by bis wife, for Brandon, last Wednesday. Trenton will soon begin to put on the habillimonts of city, namely the board of Town Commissioners have decided to construct two splendid pav *ments. One run ning from town to the Methodist church, and the other to the Pres byterian church, Ob, ye re: us and little fish.- ?! We would delight in doing all in our power for the advancement and building up of the tivo principle towns in our county, as well as the entire country; but citizens gener al!}' seem to think they have no in terest in the matter, and instead of lending material aid prove as a model of patience, and wait for fu ture developments. The book entitled “What the World Believes” now being sold by Mr. J. W. Hamic, is a work of great worth and shows ability in prepar ation, the unprecedented sale which ! Mr. Hamic ’’shaving with this book is well merited. The origin of every religious denomination of the world is given in detail, to which is added the articles of fatih of each. • Mr. A. J. Jeffries, the popular candidate for Coroner, departed for Stevenson in care of the U. S. mail last Monday morning, and should have returned Tuesday, but did not arrive on time. Mr. Kiser who had returned from Sand mountain seemed to know so j much in regard to Mr. Jeffries ! absence, that his actions aroused 'suspicion—many believing Kiser had sought to make his election sure by making away with Jeffrey, his opposing, candidate. Mr Jef frey was detained by high waters. He returned Wednesday in time to clear'Mr. Kiser from suspicion of foul play. Our people have begun to work the public roads, and the sixteen year old boy, who had just finish ed his work in the field and enter ed the school to reap the advan tages of a three-month’s school system, must lay aside his books now, and work the roads for five days, or hire some one in his place. Was there ever a law so unjust, or an outrage so great? Mr. George Serrat was around among his old friends this week. Thm- will be no diminishing in the bustle this fall, as was gener ally hoped by suffering man and his pocket book. These instru ments of fashionj have become ex pensive since some of the new pat ents have come out. The latest design in the way of a : •• tie is one, in which a young lady. - big off’to make a visit of ■ dm Or iw, can carry a change b clothes, i hat, umbrella, gossamo , ami a pair of dancing slippers, without nec essarily inconveniencing h/vrself. IT IS SAID THAT They have another heart-smasher at* school. The town has been over run with drummers. Our merchants are going to make big preparations for the fall t rade. The weather is oo hot for tic hoys and girls to write love letter:-. The fence around theceurt-hom never needed more attention than now. Girls wonder all summer what the fashion is going to be in the fall. A cetain young man balks pass a certain residence a dozen times a week. Women care ten times* more how their dress looks behind that they do in front. A fellow can have a red-hot time now* at Sulphur Springs with hut little capital. A clerk wants to get married, but hasn’t got courage enough to toll the old folks. A certain young man can’t talk in a whisper, even when holding a parlor tete-a-tete with his best girl. The prettiest girl in the county wears the plainest gown and hat, and smallest bustle when on the streets. Mr. Wayne Hale does not visit oui town as often as ho once did. It can’t be that the young lady’s love wanes. Water-melon's will soon be a thing of the past, and the small boy is j ondering how he will spend the moonlight nights. Mike Allison can wear more -mil than the fellow that deals with dry-goods boxes—rain or shine, its all the same. John P. Jacoway is the most af fectionate father and husburicl, and takes more pride in his home than any man in the community. Dade county girls arc more than lip-holding their reputation for loveliness. Not only have th >y beauty in face and form, hui v* i are bright and entertaining, ami masculine adoration attends them. Mike Fahey and James Allison have returned from Chattanooga with a buggy each. They will pro bably be duly initiated next Fun clay. Who the first fair occupants will be is a matter of conjecture. “When poverty comes the door, love goes out the window. It also might be remarked to a cer tain young man, that when the old ! man comes in at the door about 12 j p.pn., love oft m jumps through the ; window. NOTICE TO CITIZENS. A new ordiance of the Board of Commissioners of the town of Trenton provides for the as sessment and collection of a tax for building of side walks, and for other purposes. All real estate in said town is subject to taxation, and property owners should give in their property for taxation to B. T. Brock, Secretary of the Board of Commissioners before the Ist of September, or in default they will be double taxed. The tax will equal one fourth the amount of the State tax, and is to he paid be fore October 1 st. Will bn sold at the residence of Wesley Thurman, late of Dado county, on Tuesday next, all the personnl property belonging to said I Estate. Come one and all, and avail yourselves of this opportu nity. This Aug. 24th 1888. A DREAM Or Pendulous Bet ween Reality aild . Unreality. A bevy of beautiful boys and tolerable pretty girls gave Mr. and Mrs. Loon Conns*My a .very plcas ! ant surprise lasi Friday niglii. ! Mr. Uonnsdly had just sank mi:, tlie arms oi a peaceful slumber, resting in sweet oblivion of the cares of the day, absorbed and lost in dreamland. Ihe young people who went to arou.-e him, knev, from his muttarings, that he was rejoicing in the visionary threads which the fancy weaves, and in' tender pity lor awhile followed him in his delirious. There passed through his mind the nit a dows green, unu the ianow where waves iris golden harvest, and lie pointed to them with an air of pride. Then, through vacuity of thought, “a change came over th spirit of his dream,” and he saw trees, churches, stars, suns and ’moons, and had about reached th-- hu d. whew al) will find happiness unbiightador without some thistly sorrow at its . ide, when mi oi a sud den “a change came o’er the spirit :of his dream”; strange vi. ages be came expressed, and he raised his hands to ward off a blow, but the young lady, was to quick for him, rod broke the witchery of the speb and summoned home nis recollect ing powers with a sound thump in the side, and the exclamation: “Get up, Uncle Leon, there is a yard full of people,’’ Til” purlo jj was soon ablaze with lights ..mi took possession of. Mr. Conally, being a “meionaire,” didn't can* for ex penses, therefore dispatched the boys to the melon patch, and ali wore soon enjoying tl e lueious fruit. At a hue hour the crowd bade the pleasant host and hostess good-night, and while on the. road home a vote was ta k on, and decided “the sweetest of ail sweets are stolen sweets.” LIBEL FOR DIVORCE. 4 Ben F.
