He writes him a very learned and lov

She reads novels and the fashionable maga

well the latest costumes for brides, aud can
speak fluently of the costumes worn by the

There is but one way to educate vour chil

not pick np some youth who proposes to
teach school for a year or two as a stepping
stone to some other profession. Send your
children regular; pay a tuition which will
justify a competent teacher to teach; disci
pline your child at home, and allow the
teacher to do so at school, aud then you can
have your children educated, and al the

can watch over their habits and morals.

We hail a lovous occasion here on 1 h 4t h
of this month beneath the wide spreading
beacnes, poplars and sugar Lees on the
banks of Dock River. The roung men and
maidens or Hickman met and had an old
fashioned barbecue and bran dance. Whilst
they listened to the Inspiring music, "soft
eyes looiteu love to tnose lhat spake again."
and "all went merry aa a marriage bell."
.-nuuy 01 tne venerame tamers 01 me laud
were there to dignify the occasion by their
presence. The barbecue was excellent and
abundaut, such as Hickman county Is fa

Major w.J. syxes happeued to be there
on a visit, and the people luslsted lhat he
siiouia ruaae tnem a speech. He excused
uimseii uy saying mat ne did not wish to
mar me iesu vines 01 mat happy occasion by
indicting upon them a dull, prosy speech;
that he had once been young, and lie well
remembered that nothing was so irksome
atjuuch times as these as along harangue on
any subject. His days for making fourth of
uuijr njrajtura uui long since past he would
leave that to younger aud more enthusias
tic men. He would tell them what they all
wished to hear, that recent movements in-
iiii irvi liil i,uey woinu gei one or more
rmiroaus turuugn mat county, and when
that was done Hickman would equal any
county in Tennessee. Alter some compli
