speaks OF his inestimabIe wif6:-"To pro
mote her husbands interest, she attended
IN his little shop, where she bought rags,
sewed pamphlets, folded newspapers, and
sold the few articles in which he dealt, such
as ink, paper lampblack, blanks, and other
stationery. 1t the same time, she was an
excellent hogse-keeper, and besides being
economical hcrself, taught her somewhat
careless, disoIderly husband to be ecOnomi-
cal also. Sometimes, Franklin was clothed
from head totoot in garments which his
wife had both woven and made, and for
long time she performed all the work ofthe
house without the assistance of servant.
Nevertheless, she knew how to be liberal
at proper times Franklin tells us that for
some years after his marriage, his break
fast was bread and milk, which they eat out
Of two-penny earthen vessel, with a pew
ter spoon but one morning, on going down
to breakfast, he found upon the fable a
beautiful china bowl, from which his bread
and milk was lteaming with a silver spoon
by its side, which had cost sum equal in
our currency to ten dollars When he ex-
pressed his astDnishment at this unwanted
splendor. Mr.. Franklin prospered in his
business until he became the most famous
editor and most fourishing printer in Anne

ing his wife from the cares of business. and
enabled him 70 provide for her spacious

That Forgery Again.

In a late number of this paper we called atten-
ton to an article signed Observer" which appear
ed in that issue Observer" maintained and upon
good grounds, that j. F. Waldro's comm unication
in the Free Press probably manufactured in the
Office of the Free Press, or at least in Knoxville.
Waldro claimed to belong to the Northern Metho-
dist class, and TO hail from Chicago. As such he
put forth sentiments against Southern people gen.
orally, and Methodists particularly which the Meth
odist Episcopal Church never held. The design
was to excite prejudice in the minds of East Ten
nesseeans against that Church. We denounced the
trick too transparent to deceive sensible persons,
and as having paternity in this locality. II seems
their lies coming back to plague the inventors.
The Northeastern Christian AGroootc, published at
Chicago, of Dec llth thus nails tho infamous lies
of the Free Press correspondent.
The Northeastern Christian AdUOcate says
Some letters are being published in Knoxville,
Tenn, professedly by some man Waldro, Chicago
Methodist We have only to say that we believe
they were manufactured in the Office of the paper
which published them, OF by some secessionist who
seeks to harm our cause. He is not a member Of
our Church in this city, or if he is is so utterly OBJ
scure that our pastors have no knowledge of him.
He does not represent Chicago Methodist sentiment.
He is knave or - Ounce, and probably a cross
of the two, each predominating.' No loyal man
in the North would think of sending his communi-
cations TO the Knoxville Free Press.

Senator Summers Views Of Wine and
Sunday Laws.

In a correspondence of the WestIiche Post, of st
Louis, from Bloomington, Illinois, the following
anecdote is told of Senator Sumner:
On the evening of October 81, Charles Summer
lectured in Bloomington and the hail in Schroeder,
Opera House was filed TO overlooking. On this oc-
cssion Mr. Sumner gained many friends, especially
among the Germans on account of his impartial
criticism OF the temperance movement. Over a
oottle OF Catawba wine, shortly before the lecture
be gave bis American friends the following account
OF his change of views
was educated q strict Puritan as Won were
Iwenty-six years ago l visited Germany, and spent
my hrst Sunday in Aix-la- Chapelle. Ignorant of
German, hardly knew how to spend the dav when

myself In an open space. On little hill some han
Ply ola men were playing on some musical instru

charmed and asked myself the question: WIN
cannot Americans enjoy the Sabbath in a similar
way From that hour my Puritanical coat was
too small for me it split, and since that dav have
had brighter and broader views of things"
Then Mr. Sumner praised the wine that grows on
the bank OF the Moselle and Rhine, as well as the
sobrety of the inhabitants
After had that fatal encounter with Brooks
and here the Senator showed the old scars ON his
head, at was German air and German wine that
cured me. If my countrymen could visit Germany.

their customs, they would have other notions re-

Advertising.

There IS no iAct clearer than that success in hnsi
ness depends upon the amount of advertising done
by those seeking public patronage. There was
time when storekeeper, trsdesman, mechanic. or
other business man, could drum uD a respectable
crowd of customers by his own Individual exer-
tons ont now when every branch of business has
become inoulcated with spirit of rivalry, the on
ly true way is for man TO bring himself and his
goods wares and merchandise" fairly before the
people. We have men in our town who 90 in bus-
mess the same old way their fathers did This il a
great mistake, and they will find it out before lonc
1t is the same way throughout the county. Go into
any OF Our country stores and 1t is smashing bust
