ISOM'S STOKE.
The Trade Center or au old Settle
moiit in Maury County. With Sto
ries of its Citizens and Talk
About Fine (Juadrnpeas.
Catheys Creek is a Hue stream
which gurgles amid the rocks and
past pebble and sandy shores, and
nineteen miles from Columbia it adds
beauty to a little bit of a village
known as Isom's Store. A settle
ment sprang up, along the creek as
far back as 1803, and nearly sixty
years ago a merchant by the name of
Isom did a lively trade. That was
three miles from the present village,
aud the post office thereby got its
name, which has been, retained, al
though during the war it had uo mail
depository.
The way to' Isoiu's Store, Jfrom Co
lumbia, is to Hampshire and then "it
is a rocky road to Dublin" of about
three miles up and down all the way;
but there are several farm without
boulder attachment, and they have
big reputations for crops, when not
surtVringfrom drouth, which for the
last two years lias depleted consider
ablv every pocket book in the sec
tion.
On the last bill stands a church
and a luodest graveyard and then
you come suddenly to the village
with a number of dwellings and two
handsome stores. On both sides of
the Creek are farms owned by gen
tlemen who are pleasurably known
all over the county; the veteran citi-
zeu being
STEVEN WORLEY,
a polished old gentleman whose sun
ny disposition has been blessed with
eighty-two summers aud he has re
sided at Isom's Store since .1837. He
was born in Dixon county and loca
ted near Cross IJridges in 1831 his
first work being to build the first
bridge across the Tattle liigby River.
For forty years he was a blacksmith
aud in work was equally expert, aud
as au artisan he made his money aud
uow owns lauds in Maury, Liawrence
aud Hickman counties. His home
farm encompasses 400 acres, and the
survey of the Midland Tennessee
Railway passes about five feet from
the chimuey of his pleasant abode in
Isim. On the VVorley home farm is
a noble horse of Almont stock. He is
black as jet, without a mark, stands
10:2 weighs 1300 pounds, is a little
over three years old, and as gentle as
a lamb. There are also a fast trot
ting team of four 3 ear old Tom Hal
mares, aud a dark gray four year old

The general maager of the farm is
Willard P. Worley, a most energetic
aud capable youug gentleman and is
the father of two bounciug boys one
of which came iu time to give Christ
mas joy.

We're not waiting for the bats and
moles but for men and women who
have eyes aud use them, who havp
brains and reason! There's a new
world for them suffering and sickly
as they are a new world created from
the brain of a skillful physician a dis
covery the "Golden Medical Discov
ery." Years ago Dr. Pierce found out that
the secret of all scrofula, bronchial,
throat and lung trouble lay in the be
ginning at least in impure blood and
the weak tone of the system; that the
way to cure these effects was to remove
the cause, that human nature being the
same, the same results might be looked
foriu nearly all eases. So confident
was he that the exceptions were uncom
mon that he took the risk of giving the
medicine to those it didn't benefit for
nothing, and the results have proved
that he was right.
And "Uolden Medical Discovery" is
the reined v for the million! The only
