ADAMS STATION. Tobacco Season Over The Old People and Their Hospitality. Adams Station, Robertson county, is one of the most quiet and yet busy little towns on the Nashville and Evansville line of the L. N. road.

The tobacco dealers there have wound up their season of packing and chipping. Sam Morrow put up 860 hogsheads and Thomas (Dunk) Edwards prized 160 hogsheads, all of which has been shipped to the Clarksville market, besides something over 400 shipped here by the farmers. Adams Station is a good business point; located in a good country and surrounded by the best people in the world. 'Squire Owaley is the big merchant of the place and is very popular with the people. The writer met with John Stroud there yesterday, an Oklahoma boomer, who had just arrived on a visit to old friends whom he had not seen since be left ('amp Boone thirty years ago to fight for Southern independence.

Time and country have used him well. He says he went to Oklahoma to die with the consumption, but the cool, dry air of that country had taken it all out of him. He is now a robust man, with not a gray hair in his head. It 18 wonderful to see how the wind and climate of that country transform a man. It is worth something to see the trained Oklahoma boomer.

John Stroud's tongue runs loose at both ends- one end on the Oklahoma side and the other on the Chickasaw side, while his feet danced on the strip. It makes an ordinary Robertson county man's head swim to hear him talk. We visited Mr. and Mrs. Wash Ayers, two happy old people who can never do enough for the comfort of their friends.

It is delightful to strike that old fashioned Robertson county hospitality still in vogue in that section of the county. Mrs. Ayers (Aunt Nancy, as they call her) is a daughter of John Johnson, one of the old time solid citizens who figured conspicuously in the stirring events of that vicinity seventy five years ago. She is a most interesting old lady. SOCIETY.

C. Northington's summer villa at Idaho Springs last night. They were there to witness the rendering of what proved a very pleasing program. The host and hostess and the Misses Northington received their friends very cordially, and while there was a large crowd everybody was seated comfortably. The piazzas and parlors held a lively crowd of youngsters.

The exercises were divided into two parts, The first was an exhibition by the little girls, and proved very interesting and amueing. An end of the porch was curtained off and used as a stage. 'The audience were greatly amused by the comic songs and recitations of the little ones. Those who took a prominent part were 8 Genie Rollow, Effle Jarrell, Nannie Northington, Myrtle Wilcox, Mary Northington, Bertha Jarrell, Harry Jarrell, Harry Northington. The little people deserve credit for the excellent manner in which they rendered their parts; and they were warmly applauded.

The second part of the entertainment was presented by the grown ones, and consisted principally of vocal and instrumental music, interspersed occasionaly with a recitation; of the latter Miss Ora Bell Northington rendered a clever satire, in which the Knights of Pythias, Odd Fellows and Masons present all took a peculiar interest. Ned Turnley made a temperance oration. Those who took prominent parts were Misses Addie and Nellie Wilson, Nannie Turnley, Miss Boone, Mrs. Jarrell, Burt Wilson, Joe Jarrell, John Rudolph, De Wit Farmer, Norman Smith, Dr. Cabaniss, Dr.

Sutphin, Mrs. Herdman and others perhaps not now recalled. The Misses Wilson are entitled to the thanks of all for the interest in the entainment. Its success was greatly due to their efforts. Beware of frauds, -Be sure you get the genuine Dr.

Pat Ginley and Polk Smith, the Invincible, had a round this morning that created much fun in police eir cles. Polk had taken aboard a full supply of tanglefoot and was kicking up a disturbance on South First street.

An officer was called for and Ginley responded to the call. He found his man and promptly put him under arrest and carried him to the city hall, where he intended arraigning him before the city court which was then in session with 'Squire Caldwell on the bench. Polk, it is thought, got wind of the fact that 'Squire Caldwell was on deck, and while the attention of the officer was engaged in another direction he made a bolt for freedom. It was then a race for life with the chances in favor of the lighter horse. Polk soon put enough open air between him and the officer to get clear away.

Pat heard that he. had made bee line for Skufftown and went in a pursuit, with a full head of steam. Polk, however, doubled on his track and came back to the eity with Ginin hot pursuit, but about a half ley mile. in the ear. Officer Collier sighted the runner on first street and made for him.
