LAWRENCE DEMOCRA Most Auspicious Event in History of Lawrence County Enormous Crowd, Glorious Day, Fervid Oratory, and Boundless Enthusiasm ir The rail' Friday was' a grand success. The crowd was the largest ever seen in Lawrence-burg.

No show or political meeting ever held surpassed fact only one crowd that of the Wallace Shows can be said to be in respectable competition with it. Everything was favorable. The Lord smiled upon the enterprise with one of his great glorious days. The of it is not often seen. The delightful weather and the sunshine emanating from, the hearts of the children made an inspiring happy scene.

Before nine o'clock the immense crowds of people began actually pouring into the town. By a. m. the Jackson Park was crowded and the great battle for the silk banner began; Courage, valor, fortitude, etc were in great evidence. Column after column went down and reinforcements took the place of those who were Finally only the second, third, eighth and sixth districts had representatives left standing.

Down went No. 2, after a valiant struggle, then came No. 8. The death struggle came between No. 6 and No.

3, and was finally won by No. 3. Miss Carrie Littrell a pupil of Prof. J. P.

Conway was the champion speller, She is the daughter of Mr. Frank Littrell a prominent citizen and a former Justice of the Peace of District No. 3, and has received her educational training in the public schools of the county. She is a young woman of line appearance and full of energy and pluck and fully deserves the lionoj- she won for herself and her people. She also won for herself the Gunn portrait which is now being made and will be presented in the near future.

Kvery intelligent man in the county feels that a great move- ment has been made in the interest of the schools. Lawrence County has long been somewhat dilatory on school mattei's but she is now ally aroused to her duty along this line. The parade was one of the finest ever witnessed. It was the most inspiring scene ever witnessed when more than 1500 childrer marched about the streets waving Hags, giving their school yells and enjoying the day to the utmost.

J. E. McAnally. As I am the oldest McAnnlly living hi tin country I thought I would give a history of my people thinking it would he of interest to some of the younger ones that dont know much about our ancestors. My grandfather John McAnally immigrated from Stokes County, North Carolina more than 100 years ago, I think they settled not far- from Nasli-villp, a while and moved U) Giles County on likliland creek.

They were the first settlers in that country, it was a perfect cane brake and was quantities of game, bear ami deer and all kind of smaller game that ever was in this country. I had five uncles which 1 will give in detail later on. Game was what they were after. They would kill from 50 to CO bear of a fall and winter. Grand father whs a gun expert and I liny all knew how to handle a gun.

They had to have little dogs to run the bear, if a big dog got after them ami got close to the bear be would fall back on his back and grab the dog in his aims and squeeze him to death, while a little'dog would slip out. My father was not lazy eniMigh to carry a gun but be would go with them and when he would hear the dogs coining he would climb up a sapling. A bear can't climb a sapling. The bear would come riding over the cane with his mouth open and they would stick a gun in his mouth and fire, I have heard him say the muzel of their gun was all scarred up with their teeth. They would very often kill hear that would weigh 400 pounds.

They didn't try to save any of that good land They bad negros to clear up laud and farm it and I reckon that land i now is worth one hundred dollars per acre. When the game gave out they moved down here in lAwrence County and settled on the bead of little Buffalo creek not far from where Jo Loote now lives. Uncle John and uncle Charley went oft, ono to Illinois, and the other to ftliasisaippi. Uncle married a Tim mou and settled where Jo LooU now lives and died there, his family all left this country, and uncle Martin McAnally was a Doctor but died when why they call it forty-eight, I will tell I was very small, just can recollect him. you.

When Jackson returned from the Uncle Hill is I called him sHtled on battle of New Orleans, they got oh" at little Hufliilo where Abner Courtright Natchez on the Mississippi river now lives. He made a considerable COnie through by land and cut out the fortune, he bad about 30 negroes when road as they come. They crossed the the civil war came up and lots of money, Tennessee river at Colberts Terry and it he lost his negroes and I never did know Was 48 miles from Colberts Ferry to this what went with bis money, he moved creek we call forty-eight, 10 miles east to Ilenryville, Lawrence County before Waynesboro and the road-they cut the surrender and died there, no civil WHR called the Natchez trace, they law in force and the negroes turned nieasnred the trace as they cut it out, it loose, and the biggest dogs got the come 111 rough our farm where'' I was money. Dill was a big stout much of a raised. One of uncle Dill's boys, cousin man, ho married Elizabeth Stone a Willis," married Elinira Murphy, and he consumptive woman, but she out lived died long ago.

The widow and childreu him. They raised 8 children. 5 girls went to Hardin County, and and 3 boys and I reckon they all died some of them are living not far from with consumption. I had one aunt, she Clifton, Wayne County, Tennnessee married Jim Garrett, aunt P.etsy Uarrett (To be Continued) as we called her. I don't, recollect of 1 ever seeing her.
