At Sale Creek Hamilton county. Tennessee,
| August 21st, 1869, the new Masonic Hall was
| set apart for the good of the Craft. t9A. NJ.
Acting Grand Master. John G.. Alternately, be-
ing present, together with number of bretl-
rem, repaired to room adjacent to the Hall.
| After the Grand Officers were appointed, the
Grand Lodge was opened in form: and, called
from labor to refreshmcnt, formed in process
| sion and proceeded to the Lodge Hall for the
purpose Of Dedication. After prayer by the
Grand Chaplain, the ceremonies were perform
| ed in n solemn and impressive manner.
After the Dedication, the Lodge and audi
| ence repaired to the Arbor, where we were en-
tcrtained for an hour by an eloquent and flow-
cry speech by Brother Y. l.. Alternately, NJ.
d., which was delivered in the best style and
was highly appreciated. After the address,
fleets due credit and respect upon our lady
friends. For the energy and zeal displayed in
lending their delicate hands to support the
cause of Masonry, we do believe many of them
could keep secrets good enough for side de-
gree.
After dinner, the Brethren repaired to the
Arbor, where we were entertained for a short
! time with rich melody from the choir. After
singing was over, we were addressed by Bro
thcr James Cliff in an eloquent and impressive
| manner. After the address, the audience was
dismissed. and the Brethren repaired to the
Hall, where the Grand Lodge was closed in
form.
| We had nothing but good behavior during
| the day, and used cold spring water only as a
beverage. All passed of quiet ami peaceful.
| We would here state that there Is a good
! Masonic School now in progress at the Hall.
Board can he had in the best families ut 81. 30

Nashville Grocery House.

We had II call II few days ago from our friend
and former fellow-townsman, c. NJ. Gallaher.
Charley at present represents the large and
wcll-known Grocery House Of Bailey, Ordway
& Co., Nashville, and is looking round among
the merchants and dealers in East Tennessee,
to whose confidence and attention we most
heartily commend him. Before the war Nash
Vile was regarded rs one of the best Grocery
markets in the'whole country, and had Il hea-
Wy trade in this direction. We are advised
that the stocks there are larger than ever be-
fore, and we trust that our merchants and 9TH
ers will again turn to Nashville for their sup
plies, and particularly to the house of Bailey,
Ordway a. Co., which is among the largest and
best in the city. Any orders contided to our
friend Charley, we know will be promptly
and satisfactorily filled. See Card.

Northern Fruit Trees.

Editor Post: see ah advertisement in last
paper from Nurseryman Of Rochester, N. Y.
cautioning all persons against buying Fruit
Trees from parties pretending to he agents. l
will, also. caution persons against buying
Northern Fruit Trees, as our section last year
was cheated Of several thousand dollars in this
way. 1t is an established fact that varieties
of Northern Fruit that ripen after August are
more than worthless here, and that trees even
grown IN the North will not be healthy here.
Our best Winter Fruit are native seedlings,
trees grown from seeds. We have plenty of
Surserymcn in the South who can furnish the
best varieties. G.

FOREIGN goods, under the laws OF

the Supreme Court, mean wares made in

manufactured in the United States, but
out of Pennsylvania. The acts sinec 1880
against peddling without license were IN

their operation, citizens of Pennsylvania
peddling goods of their own manufacture
But In the act of April 10th, 1910, the

their own make. However this might be

WHAT IT Cosr-Five or six years ago,
the Emperor Theodorus of Abyssinia, as
he called himself, addressed an autograph
letter to Queen Victoria. As a matter of
course, it was opened and read by the then
Foreign Secretary, Earl Russell. Not
thinking 1t worthy of being placed in Vic
toIia's hands, nor even worthy of having
its receipt acknowledged, it was placed out
of sight in one of the pigeou-holes Of the
Foreign Office. Not receiving any reply,
Theodorus considered himself insulted,
and laid hold of certain German and
British missionaries aEG travellers, whose
zeal or curiosity had carried them into
Abyssinia. Treating these prisoners in a
very cruel manner, aad not paying any at
tention to reiterated requests to liberate
them, Theodorus received intimatiou that
Abyssinia would be invaded by large
British force. Trusting largely in the in
accessibility Of his dominions, Theodorus
ridiculed the idea of invasioh-the object
being, as he thought, only to recover few
Insignificant Europeans. The honor of
! England, however, was at stake, and war
| with Abyssinia was assented to by the
| British Government aud Parliament while
| Lord Derby was Prime Minister. The re-
suit was the recovery Of the prisoners and
the defeat aud death of ofTheodorus. Great
exultation prevailed throughout England
But, the time having arrived when the
cost had to be ascertaiued and paid, it DOW
appears that this little war las already
cost eS, 100000 (say s43 3,0QO, ,OOO), ano
viii almost certainly run up to { 1000,
600. Itcarries with it the dearly purchased
moral: when official personagcs receive
letters it is best TO answer them before
they are put away out of sight in the
pigeon holes of any public department
Lord RusselPs negligence caused England
an expenditure of S45,0C0,000.
