If not in perfect order needs skill and experience to put in good repair and perfect running order. I can now consciention^ly say that we do first-class work, as I have recently secured the services of a very fine workman, of TWKN'TY YEARS EXPERIENCE to take charge of my repairing department, a man who can not only repa’r a watch in the best manner, but can manufacture a watch complete. With additional machinery and materials, I can say in all candor, that my facilties for making and iepairing anything in the Watch, Clock, Jewelry, Silverware or Spectacle line cannot bo excelled in the State.

fair fame, good name, etc. It seems that no Presidential campaign can be conduct-
ed upon rny other basis.
Democrats hereabouts all seem to be satisfied with the nominations at Cincinnati. We hear of no kicking, and in this there is a marked ditference when compared with the feeling after the convention four years ago. The convention got through its work speedily and the proceedings were as orderly as is general at
political conventions.
The following is Professor Tice's forecast of the weather for July, 1880: 1st to 4th, ending in clouding threatening weather, with severe storms in places; 4th and oth, clear or fair; 5th to !Hh, ending in clouding, threatening weather, with local rains; !>th to 11th, clear or fair; 11th to 15th, clouding and threatening weather at times, and severe storms in places; 15th to 10th, clear or fair; 17th to 21st, at times clouding, threatening weather, with heavy rain
with their performance.
Inasmuch as there was no performance of any kind Saturday evening, some of the students conceived the idea of having a mock Democratic convention—not as an}’ slur on that party, but simply for the novelty of the affair, as well as the practice it would give them for future great occasions. Accordingly delegates were apppointed from all the States, national and other committees wore selected, and Meharry Halt was secured for their wigwam. On Saturday night it was crowded, and the convention was called to order by the chairman of the national committee. Reports from the various committees were then heard and C. F, Collin was made p' rmanent chairman. The following nominees were then presented with four-minute speeches by members of the convention: lion. Thomas Hendricks, by Crews of Colorado; lion. Stephen Field, by Switzer of Georgia; Ex-Gov. Palmer, of Illinois, by Scarritt of Illinois, Senator Thurman, by Smith of Iowa; James D.Williams, by Cantwell

The Judges awarded the first ’prize, $25, to Mr. Conrey, and the second, $10, to Mr. Coffin. Mr. Coffin’s speech was exceedingly fine, and although Mr. Conrey’s speech was also good, the decision of the judges was not well received. The custom of always selecting ministers for
jufiges is not a good one.
In the evening the annual performance of the Society of the Alumni occurred, i It consisted of a very long, but good, oration, by Rev. A. N. Jackson,'03, and a
poem by L. D. Hayes, ’7C.
Thursday, Commencement Day, was' occupied by the exercises of the Senior [ class. The exercises commenced at 8 j o'clock, the programme being as follows: | j Salutatory oration—The student, Min- 1

But many centers pass over the Lake region, and but very few South of the Lakes. Whenever they do, their rate of movement is very much retarded by high barometers crowding them in their front and northeastern tiank, and they manifest great energy, both as to rainfall, hail and tornadoes. Nearly every s'orm center develops on its southern side, minor centres, or spurs,

Last Sunday afternoon Rev. Mr. Woods of Cloverdale, was seriously injured by a runaway accident, near Putnamvillc. The particulars are about as follows: Mr. Woods and his son, Turner, left Putnamville for Mt. Olive, where he had an appointment to preach that night. About a quarter of a mile north of Putnamvillc, the highway runs along the railway for a long distance. They were driving ;n the place described when they heard a train approaching, amt immediately got out and proceeded to unhitch their horses. Dr. Evans, of this city, was also on the road in a buggy, driving northward, and had also got out to hold his horse. As the train came up the animal became unmanageable, broke away from the doctor, and ran at a terrible speed, in the direction of Mr. Wood,when the terrified animal ran again the last named, knocked him senseless to the ground,and fractured three ribs. Dr. Evans ran to the assistance of the injured man, and gave him all the attention possible,though it was some time before consciousness returned. Mr. Wood was taken to the residence of Dr. McNutt, at Putnam ville, where he still remains. His injuries are not considered at all dangerous, though serious, and it is hoped that he will be
well in a short time.
