If you love, love more. If you hate, hate
less. Life is too short to spend in hating
any one. Why war against mortal who
is going the same road with you? Why
not expand the flower Of life and happiness
by learning to love! Your hands may be
hard, but your heart need not be. Your
form may be bent or ugly, but do you not
know that the most beautiful flowers often
grow in the most rugged, unsheltered
places? The palace may be palace OF
care, the cottage the home of love. Not
that there is no love in the mansion, but
somehow, if we are not very careful, bust
ness will crowd all there is of beauty out OF
the heart. This is why God has given us
Sabbaths and Saturday nights, that we may
leave business in the office and have a
heart-cleaning.

TRUTH STRANGER THAN FICTIoN.-ln
1868, says the New Orleans Times, poor
sean,stress, named Sarah Ann Dees, OF rosy
complexion, slender form, and piercing
black ewes, sued Mrs. Amanda Nj. Ham
mond. widow of Josiah TORI, claiming that
shn was owner and holder Of two promis-
sorry mortgage notes, of amount together OF
81 900 or more.
Execntory process issued, and the widows
nronerty. while she was out Of the State,
was sold. All of her furniture too was sold;
and go far as the record-No. All of the
late Second Judicial District Court, parish
Of Jefferson-shows, no notice, no citation
whatever. was made on her, or on any legal
representative. She came hometo fnd her
self and children literally stripped OF eve
rything she had in the world. Her Carroll
ton home, she held for more than twenty
years, was gone.
The nominal plaintiff was too poor to be
n real plaintiff, and q long time afterwards
one Simeon D. W. swore in the Third JUS
tees Court Of the parish Of Orleans that
he was the plaintiff, and had sued under
another name because some one had o Judg-
ment against him.
But unfortunately for Mr.. W., Sarah Ann
Dees died-as was clearly shown before his
Honor Judge Cazabat, of the court in Car
rollton-in the Charity Hospital, on the
18th October, 1865, under the name OF ga
rah A. Jones, which name was her family
name, and which name she always gave
when arrested for drunkenness.
The record of the first district ponce
station shows that she, under TINS name,
- -.,.o; ulood- dunk - as she had
been several times before, and was sent to
the Charity Hospital in articu9o morts.
The certificate of the clerk OF the Charity
Hospital shows that she died the same DAY
brought there.
How all this tangled mystery was I'M
travelled will be told upon another occasion.

G. T. AMES' New and Complete Circus and

morrow--Saturday, the 1st day of August
and at Cleveland, Monday, the 3D. This is re-
ported to be one of the very First Establish
nents Of the Age, and if all be true that is
down in the bills, it is the leading Equestrian
and Geological Confederation. We notice the
performances favoraby spoken of by papers
published at points where the Company have
exhibited. Further particulars can be obtain

lockwood, ROanc Countx

We learn, through Il young friend recently
returned from Roane county, that the new
town OF LOCKWOOD is progressing rapidly.
some nifty houses have already been COM
plcted, and others are in course Of construc-
ton. 1t is in the midst of rich mineral and
agricultural region-three miles from Post Oak
Springs, and four or five from the Tennessee
river, to point on which railroad is to be
constructed from the town. We have obtained
these facts incidentally, and must be permit
ted to express little surprise that it has not
occurred to General WILDER to enlighten the
country in regard to his enterprise through
the columns of the PosT-the only real, gen.
nine,iive, wide-awake newspaper published in
all East Tennessee.
The Athens post. [volume] (Athens, Tenn.) 1848-1917, 1868-07-31
Another PaUer.

We learn that arrangements are making to
start paper at Philadelphia Monroe county,
Tennessee, and that the first number will be
issued in a few weeks. Philadelphia is plea
SAINT, though somewhat ancient looking ham,
let, on the line Of the East Tennessee and Geor-
gia Railroad, midway between Sweetwatcr and
Loudon. We did not learn as to the politics of
the proposed publication, but from the name
of the gentleman who is reported to be at the
head of the enterprise, we presume it will be
intensely radical. Whether the Governor will
order the legal advertising of Monroe county
to the columns of the new candidate for public
favor, or do what he ought to have done at the
start, and whav he know doubt intended to do
only he didn't happen to think about it, elect
that all such advertising in the counties be-
tween the Tennessee and IIiwassee rivers, be
published in a paper of general circulation
the ATHENS Posi-, for instance-remains to
be seen.

More improvements.

We hear Of contracts for the erection of
TWO more brick buildings at this places Il fam
lily residence for Squire JIM. TURNER; and a
business office for e. w. Ross, on the lot adj
Joining his present establishment. From the
indications, it would not surprise us in the
least if in the course of another twelvemonth
the corporation limits would have to be still
further extended. A community with such
paper as the Posi- TO give support and encour
agement to its enterprise, is bound to en-
pand, grow and prosper.

TLH Canvas

We stated week before last that we would
furnish the Posi- during the canvass at 80
cents per copy, where rs many as 10 copies
may be ordered to one office. In recurring to
the subject, we take occasion to remark for
the benefit of all concerned, that home inter-
ests, and particularly party interests, can be
best served and promoted by liberal and gen.
erous support of the local presses of the coun-
try.

The Rivers.

There Isl good tide in the Tennessee, and
some ofthe smaller tributaries have been swol-
len to unusual proportions by the recent hea-

Estanallee have all been full to overnowing
though wehave heard of but little damage be-
lag done along their waters.
