One evening last week a number of small boys were playing about the leetrie light pole in from of Mr. W. J. Dale's residence on West Sixth street, and one of them, being "dared" by his companions, caught hold of the chain hanging down from the pole. Although quite harmless in appearance, the little fellow soon found that the chain was a very dangerous plaything, for as soon as his lingers came in contact with it he was sent sprawling on the ground.

The boys then, challenged a little iiclto to take hold of the chain, and young Africa, thinking himself able to wrestle with such an innocent looking thing, boldly grabbed it with both hands. Once he had it in his hands, he quickly changed his mind and wanted to turn it loose; but despite all his kicking and pulling, the mysterious power held him fast, and had it not been for the timely assistance of Mr. K. E. Me Lemore, who chanced to be passing by, there might have been a serious ending.

As it was, the negroe hands were badly burned and he re ceived other injuries on his body. Electricity is a dangerous tiling, and the Light Company should see to it that all possible precaution is taken to prevent any more such accidents.

Wheat threshing continues, al though the work was somewhat re tarded this week in the greater portion of the county by the rains. to vesterdav afternoon the Co lumbia Mill Elevator Company Had purchased Ho car-loads, or about bushels.

The City Grain Feed Company, up to 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, had bought something over 225 car loads, or about 157,000 bushels. This makes an aggregate, for those two mills alone, of bushels a cash value putting the average price at fit) cents per bushel of lo4. 200. A half million dollars wouhM perhaps be a fair estimate of the value of the wheat crop raised in Maury County this year. Ketlie'l House lliii her Miop, ('anion St.

J. ROSENTHAL. DEATH'S HARVEST. Col. J.

W. S. Ki.lley. When he had lived a little longer than the three-score years and ten allotted to man; after an eminently successful, useful, well-spent life: his work finished, his mission done, his life already rounded to a happy close ripe and ready as the golden grain for the sheaf, loved and honored, surrounded bv friends, kin dred and loved ones, trusting and confident in a christian's faith, Col. Ridley was permitted to lie down at home last Tuesday afternoon and enter into life eternal.

What a glorious privilege it is to be allowed to finish the fight and to win such a victory as he has won. In such an ending to this earthly career, Death, indeed, l-is swal lowed up in victory. The departure ot uuiiey is an irreparable loss to this county. There bus never been a man who occupied just such a position as lie did. There have been as good farmers, as good financiers, as good tock dealers, as good bankers, as good citizens, as good mMi, as he; but we doubt if in the history of this county there was ever, blended in one man such a eoinoinatioii ot these virtues and to such a degree.

Some better farmers than he, are mean neighbors; while with liiin. it enhanced the value of land to adjoin his. Some better judges of stock tnan lie, are cneats; and tneir reputations cheat their talents; while with him, the confidence in his word, no less than his judg ment, brought him both buyers and sellers. Some better financiers than he, have no compassion in their souls, no pity for the poor; while with him, it was part of his life's creed that neither man nor beast should sillier near biin. Some rich er men than he, by and through their very wealth, have been curses to their community.

While with him, his manner of getting wealth, his industry, his fair dealing, his husbandry, as also the quiet, genteel, hospitable, liberal, yet careful, con servative spending of it, aro alike worthy of commendation. And his good example has not been in vain. How many men have learned to buy and sell their mules, like Col. Ridley. How many men have learned to build barns and house their stock, and feed like Col.

Ridley. How many have learned when to plant and how to bow and when to gather, like Col. Ridley. There is no calculating the good done by his example. Col.

Ridley stood so prominently tall among his fellows, that in emergencies he was relied upon. He was not a politician in the general sense, though a pronounced Democrat, and one who always took a lively interest in party policies. Upon a memorable occasion when the party was divided in this county, when they neeeded a leader whose personal character would command a following, he was given the nomination for the Senate. His health was delicate at the time and he the honor. Upon another occasion when the banks all toppled and fell, Webb Rid lev's name was upon every tongue as the man who could bring order out of chaos.

And he did. Not for the hope of gain, but from a sense of duty, he gave his time and his name, his credit, his capitol and his in fluence to organizing a financial in stitution upon which the very life of this business community, at that time, absolutely depended. Thus in public acts as well as private living, his life stands as a glorious monument to his memory. The funeral was held in the First Presbyterian Church of which the deceased was a Ruling KIder Wednesday afternoon at 4 o'clock; Rev. F.
