I'licle Uacon Alderson says he has put a hundred gourds at his spring for the accom- modation of tlie public, and some malicious person, after drinking of the pure and sparkling freestone water, breaks the gourd up or throws it away.

Now that the election is over, we can look at it calmly. Two of the cleverest men lu the county, Lip-icoui- and Alexander, run for Sheriff, and it speaks w ell for them that they remained on friendly terms with each other throughout I he excit ing contest. Mr. Alexander had made a good Sheriff, and hail been so kind lo everybody that every-Isid- y liked liim. Besides, lie had for Jailor WK)-- D. Davis, one of tlie strongest men in the county, who made an unusually good ollicer. Mr. Lipscomb s as go.nl a man, and 1 as popular, asany iu the county his oppo- nents acknowledged that absolutely noth- ing could ie found against hitii. F.'ven the Argus-eye- d Joe Irvine admitted this. He was tlie nominee of the I K'ln. s ialic party, and wa-- s beaten in a Democratic county. There were several causes the preiudice in favor of giving a Sheriff two terms, ami the prejudice against convention. There is a strong feeling against lieiug controlled by jwililics in elections for Sheriir; it is urged thai there is no political significance lu the selection of a Sheriil that lh best man is should be elected. Mr, Sidney Fleming tells ns that a ne- gro woman died suddenly lasl week near ion Church, alter eating a watermelon. She had something like cliolera-inorbu- s. but Dr. Theo. C.

Near the spring at which Benjamin Vilke settled, passed a trail leaatng irom Nashville south. The signs luuicated a camping ground used by Indians. On the hills above the spring was found a circular nliice from which the cane had been re moved, and the ground tramped hard, snowing that several years oeiore me In- dians had held a dance there, and consider able numbers must- - have participated. As no Indians lived in many miles of this place, a roving band likely held the dance. We know the custom of the tribes was to consider the young men only warriors, til they had earned the title brave by taking a scalp from the whites. The custom, too, was to hold a scalp dance, on the return of a marauding party, at which the braves pro- - uuceu ine scalps lanen.ana reueaiseu me circumstances, and vaunted their bravery Willi mucn boas! ing, oi wnat mey wouiu no in the future.

The French during the days of ruapoieon, were never prouder of the "Badge ol the Legion of Honer,' than the Indian brave was of his scalps. He carried them every- - wli.-r- nituph.il In lilu belt, and one with many scalps, was entitled to separate them, ami sew t.nein on me scams ui mimm shirts, letrions mnl belt.

A few hundredyards west ol this spring, was a very large siplar without a Drancn for some seventy-fiv- e feet, then the top wan divided Into three large limbs of equal size. This tree stood many years, alter the land had been cleared around ll. ine whites found one limb lying on the ground, showing the marks oi me naicnei, wucre ii had been Hacked otr, and the spur was plain, from which it had fallen. This fallen limb was hollow, with the remains of honey comb; still In It, it had been hacked open, to extract the honey. Now, the questiou is, how did the Indian get up on that limb wilh his hatchet? 1 was assured no tree stood near enough to have assisted iu get ting on either limn; ii tne uiuimi .mwi climbed the bodv ol the tree to the tork how could he have gotten on either limb, when they separated at the same place, to form the top?

They used the sinews ofdeer, finely separated, for sewing thread.

The class of men who settled this line rough country had the training necessary to lit them for the toils and privation of Pioneer life. Some few Kevolutionary sol diers stttli-- here, but thejarger class came on the stage of action later passed boyhood a few years after tlie war. and before tlie country here recuperated, from the ell'ect of inai long struggle, itovernnieni was young anu untried. Money very scarce, no exten- sive commerce estab.ished, ctton bad not become a muu led crop. The whole people were forced to wear homespun. This class of men, industrious and energetic, lu the prime or Hie, usually with small tarmacs, high toned, and generally members of some church, constituted our pioneer fathers. They were not only fitted for, but forced to exercise here, that economy under which they had grown. Homespun was the order of the day. cooeras clothes for summer, aud jeans for winter. Tlie beautiful youug la dles spun and wove their own dresses, then i mane mem up, and were very proud of t them. S During my boyhood days 1 recollect them. with their line health, rosv cheeks, and cheerful countenances; they looked tine, and were fine. They were then more appre- ciated I than a lady of our days, in lancy rencn dresses, and one and a half French boots, In these days, of the sale of nost-tra- - dershlp. Then how nobly they presided af terwards, over large wealthy lauillies, with grand establishments as the comforts ami luxuries ol lire were accumulated. Ill their younger days, their training had fitted them for any station, to which Ihev c were called, and many of these are referred to with pride by their decendants, the most families in our time. So far as am informed, only three Kevolutionary soldiers settled In Maury, likely more. John liillespie, who lives five miles south of Co- - luuiDia, was a soldier in the battle of King's mountain, where the whole of tlie British command was surrounded, aud captured afler a bloody tight. He may have been en- gaged In other battles. Kobert Caruthers, of Lytle's Creek, when quite a young niau, fought in the same battle of King's moun- tain. He also was engaged at Kamsour's Mills; and during another battle, a cavalry man would have split his head open, but he saved himself by dodging under the horse's neck. The point of ihe sword struck his head, but entered the horse's neck, near- ly severing bis head from his body. Kobert was taken prisoner; his mother came thirtv in i li s, and begged for his narole. The olli cer treated her request coolly; he then en- quired of a bitter old tory, the bov's character. Tlie old tory staled. "I know him well: he is an industrious, hard work- - iug boy, and very gixsi to his mother, but he is the d dest rebel in all that country." This touched theottlcer Kobert was parol- - eil went home with his mother. In going to King's mountain, his command camped near a house, anu horrowed cooking vessels. Next morning the lady of the house, Mrs. Lytle, aud a daughter twelve or thirteen 32, years old, came to the camp to see about the vesMels. Then be first saw this girl, whom he afterwards married, and from them de scended a large intelligent and numerous iamiiy. Daniel Wilkes settled near Walker Seott's; he had quite a family before entering the army, r several years, he lieionued to Ihe 2!', Southern army, was engaged In those long imtrcnes, me ceieoratea reireal 01 Oeneral Green, liefore Corn wall is, followed by the bloody batt le of Uuild ford's courHiouse.

There are many dusuendant - rSnKW-- ...i those no-- .,, Mmirv 111117 not - .0 pioud that their dear old grand-latlie- rs were called rebels by the British and Tories. At the closeof the war, the British Government indirectly adknowledged them free aud indeiiendent citizens of the United states of America. The Tories aud their families, scattered to surrounding countries, dragged out a miserable existence. W1LUAHSPORT ITEMS, Kev. W. R.

The high polit ical excitement iu which the country is at present engaged, and tlie Ihe parti .an feelings that may be engendered render it necessary that we should redouble our vigilance and overlook our brothe1- - who may be disposed to grow .. and to wauder from .Urf.ewarm Sneak a kind ' peaceful abode, t v'"- - ord to them.

This is tlie end for which we ou in labor, T his is me end uear aiiKe to numan-H- v aud Christianity. For this end let us all labor, each in the way which to him seems wisest and oesi. Keep in minu mat we have enlisted, not for a summer campaign but for the war. Aud we cannot expect to lay aside our arms until death gives us our papers of discharge from all the duties and conflicts of life. "Do not then sit idly waiting For some greater deed to do: Speak the word that cure the waiting; Look the look that lifts the soul; Go and toil in any vineyard, at Do not fear to.do.or dare; If you seek a field of labor, You can find it anywhere." We know that we are engaged in the grandest and noblest warfare that ever call- ed true men and women together in coun cil. Many lodges are nara ai worn, anu are doing all that could be expected of them, but some have grown a little lukewarm. Broth- ers! wake mi! vou can do mod. Remember thai every man thai you convert irom me error of his way, aud get to join our cause, that a bright star will added to your crown in the life to come. Go to work! JJO your duty, and all will yet be well. Let us show the Giand Lodge that we appreciate tlie compliment she has paid us, and we feel justly proud of her selection. Brother Bul- - iock anu oisier Joyce nave iiueu, men places well, and have reflected honor ou the cause. Now, let each lodge rememoer io send her delegates to the next session of the Grand Lodge, aud remember the time (Oct. 17, 1876.) We have now sixteen hslges lu the county, and we want a good delegation o and good report from every lodge Send your best and ablest representatives. The llailroad has heretofore furnished tickets to Nashville at hall price. Tiel eacu louge have its written report, approved by W. C T. aud W. S., aud also your credentials.

E. B. A Tribute ol Respect. At a nieetlmf of the Bar. held nt the court house on Satunlav lasl. the following i.ie- - ambleaud resolutions were unanimously adopted. The Committee appointed at a meeting of the Bar of Columbia, Tenn., to prepare and reiMirt a suitable memento of our resnect for our distinguished brother, the Hou. James i nomas, reiecifuf ly report. That our distinguished friend mid brother died ou tlie 4th day of August, 1H70, at e, at the residence of his sou, A. H. Thomas, Esq. Mr. i nomas was Horn in North Carolina, 1S08, and a few years thiTHUfter his father, r.

But in this, to the great loss and sorrow of his family, his friends, andof us.hts brethreu, he failed, lifter a powerlul struggle oi iweniy mont hs. About the year 18 W, Afr. Thomas was elected to the er otllce of Attorney General for the circuit by the Tennessee Legislature, which oince ne filled for many years with au ability unsur- passed in the State. About the year ls.l, he became a partner then ex -- Governor, James A Polk, iu the practice or law, which part- nership on lasted until Mr. Polk waa elected President of the United Slates. In 1S47. Mr. Thomas was elected to repre did sent this district In the I'nlted Stales Con can gress, in which position he served until March, ls-ii- . The deceased again resumed, the practice his profession, and conlliiued until fsVI, when he was again elected to Congress, and ai remained until Mr. Laucoin was inaugura- ted President. Mr. Thomas was a warm friend and sup porter or the Southern people, and was elected to the Provisional and first Con- gress of t he Confederate Slates, and served two terms. In the Summer or lSOi. he resumed me practice of law, and continued until Janua- ry, at 187-)- , with great success and ability, it Involved so much lalsir that his vigorous constitution succumlied, and our Bar lost one of the ablest members belonging to It, and we are called on to express our senti ments of respect lor Ills memory, and sor row for the sad bereavement of his family, At kindred, neighbors and friends, aud lo us, death. Mr. Thomas was a man ol great mental capacity, which he had cultivated Willi much laoor ami success. ih a lawyer ne hiid but lew equals in the state.

As a saker he imssesscd great jsiwer, always clear anil forcible in ar- gument, ami occasionally eloquent. As a political speaker he was equally distin- guished for thesame qualities. He became communicant of the Episcopal Church, nearly, if nol quite, forty years ago, and was regular and consistent communicant of that church UP to his death, aud died full of faith, hoe aud belief in the doc-trin- as of liis church. Mr. Thomas had but few equals as a theo- logian and In general knowledge, having been all his life a great student and reader. Iudeed, of him it may be truly said he was great iu intellect, kind and gentle, true and holiest in heart and conduct, and as tree o from malice as any mau of his day and gen- eration . As a testimonial of our respect for our de- ceased brother we preseut the lollowlng res- olutions: That, lu the death of our brother, our Bar has lost one of its ablest meinlH-rs- . That we sincerely sympathize with his family ami kindred", neighbors and friends lu their great loss. That a copy of the proceedings of our Bar be sent to his family, and that th'3 chair- man of the meeting designate a suitable member of our Bar to present to each of the courts held at Columbia a copy of these proceedings, with a request that they be spread ou the minutes of each court.

HURRICANE SWITCH ITEMS.

Near the spring at which BenjaminVilke settled, passed a trail leaatng irom

Nashville south. The signs luuicated acamping ground used by Indians. On thehills above the spring was found a circularnliice from which the cane had been removed, and the ground tramped hard,snowing that several years oeiore me In-dians had held a dance there, and considerable numbers must- - have participated. Asno Indians lived in many miles of thisplace, a roving band likely held the dance.We know the custom of the tribes was toconsider the young men only warriors, tilthey had earned the title brave by taking ascalp from the whites. The custom, too,was to hold a scalp dance, on the return of amarauding party, at which the braves pro- -uuceu ine scalps lanen.ana reueaiseu mecircumstances, and vaunted their braveryWilli mucn boas! ing, oi wnat mey wouiu noin the future.

The French during the days of ruapoieon,were never prouder of the "Badge ol theLegion of Honer,' than the Indian bravewas of his scalps.

would run any risk, short of certain death,to procure a scalp.

A few hundredyards west ol this spring,was a very large siplar without a Drancnfor some seventy-fiv- e feet, then the topwan divided Into three large limbs of equalsize. This tree stood many years, alter theland had been cleared around ll. inewhites found one limb lying on the ground,showing the marks oi me naicnei, wucre iihad been Hacked otr, and the spur was plain,from which it had fallen. This fallen limbwas hollow, with the remains of honeycomb; still In It, it had been hacked open, toextract the honey. Now, the questiou is,how did the Indian get up on that limbwilh his hatchet? 1 was assured no treestood near enough to have assisted iu getting on either limn; ii tne uiuimi .mwiclimbed the bodv ol the tree to the torkhow could he have gotten on either limb,when they separated at the same place, toform the top?

Durlmi mv boyhood. I have looked up atit many times, even after the spur had decayed, into tne ootiy, i never met wnu anywno could solve ine lirooiem. niiice men ihave lived among the Cblcknsaws. Theyused the sinews ofdeer, finely separated, forsewing thread.

The class of men who settled this linerough country had the training necessaryto lit them for the toils and privation ofPioneer life. Some few Kevolutionary soldiers stttli-- here, but thejarger class cameon the stage of action later passed boyhooda few years after tlie war. and before tliecountry here recuperated, from the ell'ect ofinai long struggle, itovernnieni was younganu untried. Money very scarce, no exten-sive commerce estab.ished, ctton bad notbecome a muu led crop. The whole peoplewere forced to wear homespun. This classof men, industrious and energetic, lu theprime or Hie, usually with small tarmacs,high toned, and generally members of somechurch, constituted our pioneer fathers.They were not only fitted for, but forced toexercise here, that economy under whichthey had grown. Homespun was the orderof the day. cooeras clothes for summer, audjeans for winter. Tlie beautiful youug ladles spun and wove their own dresses, then imane mem up, and were very proud of tthem. S

Ill their younger days, their training hadfitted them for any station, to which Ihev cwere called, and many of these are referredto with pride by their decendants, the most

families in our time. So far asam informed, only three Kevolutionary

soldiers settled In Maury, likely more. Johnliillespie, who lives five miles south of Co- -luuiDia, was a soldier in the battle of King'smountain, where the whole of tlie Britishcommand was surrounded, aud capturedafler a bloody tight. He may have been en-gaged In other battles. Kobert Caruthers,of Lytle's Creek, when quite a young niau,fought in the same battle of King's moun-tain. He also was engaged at Kamsour'sMills; and during another battle, a cavalryman would have split his head open, buthe saved himself by dodging under thehorse's neck. The point of ihe sword struckhis head, but entered the horse's neck, near-ly severing bis head from his body. Kobertwas taken prisoner; his mother came thirtvin i li s, and begged for his narole. The ollicer treated her request coolly; he then en-quired of a bitter old tory, the bov'scharacter. Tlie old tory staled. "I knowhim well: he is an industrious, hard work- -iug boy, and very gixsi to his mother, buthe is the d dest rebel in all that country."This touched theottlcer Kobert was parol- -eil went home with his mother. In going toKing's mountain, his command campednear a house, anu horrowed cooking vessels.Next morning the lady of the house, Mrs.Lytle, aud a daughter twelve or thirteen 32,years old, came to the camp to see about thevesMels. Then be first saw this girl, whomhe afterwards married, and from them descended a large intelligent and numerousiamiiy.
