The Sweetwater enterprise. (Sweetwater, Tenn.) 1869-187?, 1871-08-10

The following beautiful tribute to the
followers of the "stick and rule" is from
the pen of BENZ. f. Taylor, formerly Of
the Chicago Journal:
"The printer is the adjutant ofthought,
and this explains the mystery of the
wonderful v ord that can kindle hope
as no song can; that word we with o
hand-in-hand warmth in it-for the au
thor and printer and engineer together.
Engineers Indeed When the Corsi-
cans bombarded Catiz, at distance of
five miles, it was deemed the very tri-
umph of engineering. But what is the
range of this, whereby they bombarded
the ages to be?
There at the case he stands, and
marshals with the lines of forces, armed
with truth, clothed with Immortality and
English. And what no can be nobler
than the equipage of thought in sterling
Saxon-Saxon with spear or shield
therein, and that commissioned, when
we are dead, to move grandly on to "the
latter syllable Of record time" This is
to win victory from death, for this has
no dying in it.
The printer is called q laborer, and
the Office Of sublime life he is performing
when lie thus cites the engine that is to
fling worded truth in grander curve
than missiles e'er before described fling
it into the bosom of age. He throws off
his coat, indeed, but we wonder rather
that he does not put his shoes from off
his feet, the place whercupon he stands
is holy ground"
ga little song was uttered somewhere
long ago; it wandered through the twi-
light feebler than star; it died upon
the cor. But the printer takes it when
it was lying there in silence, like wound
ed bid, ind sends it f. h from tho
ark that held it, and it flies on into the
future with the olive branch Of peace,
and around the world with melody, ike
the dawning Of o spring morning.

DYING CONFESSION.
A Crime Of Twenty Years Brought to
Life.
fFrOR the Bunker Hill tIn.) aAlstts.l

From the Bunker Hill tIn.) aaIstts.l
More than q score of years ago. our CON-
munity numbered among its citizens one
DR.. Benjamin Atkinson, q brother-in-
law Of Rev. j. V. Hopper. This gen.
tleman left here in about 1S50,and has
since resided in Davenport Iowa Re-
turning ON visit last week, il was our
privilege to meet him, and from him We
gam the facts here presented.
1t appears that in 1849 or 1859 Mr..
Atkinson, at that time living in this place,
had the misfortune to lose barn by
fire. The building contained at the time
some fifty head Of sheep, which persisted
in the flames, or from injuries received.
The barn also contained several horses
which were rescued, but not without re-
ceiying serious injuries. As may be con-
jectured, the loss entailed upon Mr.. At
kinson was quite heavy. The cause of
this calamity was never satisfactorily ex-
planned. 1t could not be accounted for
as an accident, and although careful in
vestigation was instituted, the matter re-
manned mystery. Suspicion was arous-
ed, and it was finally concluded that the
deed was the work OF an incendiary; but
the evidence was not sufficiently pointed
to admit of the prosecution of illegal meas
ures, and Mr.. Atkinson moved from our
midst. What ever suspicion had been
aroused in regard to the affair, it had been
allowed to die oLt with theremoyal Of DR..
Atkinson; and in the course of time it
had almost passed from his own mind.
But now after the parties to the crime
had passed away from life, after the lapse
OF over score Of years, Mr.. Atkinson
has received from the Superintendent Of
onr State PenitentiaIy letter written at
the dictation of a convict III his dying mo-
ments. The dying man stated that tho
circumstances connected with the crime
for which he had been imprisoned were
known, but that he could not die in peace
until he had confessed to Mr.. Atkinson
the crime Of burning the building men-
tioned--a crime in which he had never
been detected. He further stated that he
had been induced by resident of our
place to commit the deed and he had re-
ceived $25 for doing it. The name of
the convict who made the dying declara-
ton has escaped the memory of our in
formant. We give no clue to the person
who melted the deed, for obvious rea-
sons.

A Word to Girls.

The woman who is Indifferent to her looks
is no true woman. God meant woman
to be attractive, to look well, to please,
and it is one of her duties to carry out
this intention OF her Maker. But that
dress is to do it all, and to snffce, is
more than can be brought to believe.
Just because do love to see girls look
well, as we'll as live to some purpose, /
would urge upon them such a course of
reading and study as will confer such
charms as no modiste can supply. Mp.
Willis wrote once very pretty para
graph on the power of education to beau
tify. That it absolutely chiseled the
features; that he had seen many clum-
sey nose and thick pair OF lips so mod
fled by thought and by awakened ac-
tive sentiments as to be uurecognizable.
And he put it ON that ground that We SO
often see people, homely and unattracive
in youth, bloom in middle life into a
softened Indinn simmer of good and
mellow tones.

VERY LUCID.
Mr.. Greeley'S Views on the PreSi-
dency.

Mr.. Greeley has spoken again regard
ing the Presidency, and his letter, writ
ten to Major Mouldoon of the World, is,
if correctly stated, very plain and salts
factory,
"TExAs.
YoUNG MAN-Your letter was sent to
me from New York. The Ku-Klux do
not interfere with the mails in Texas.
This is essentially an agricultural State
You can plow here twenty-seven feet
deep if you own plenty of mules.
More than half q century ago, and
just rs soon as 1 was able to distinguish
pig iron from horse-radishes, resolved
never to become President of the United
States, and to quit drinking rum.
For two reasons-I couldn't afford it,
and hadn't the time. The reasons still
exist.
But still, if I were elected and should
,-ccept, it would be to demonstrate sew
eral theories both OF government and
of politics, and OF farming, which 1 have
adopted after an experience OF eight and
fifty years.
First, believe the man is made for
the Office, and not all the offices in the
land for one mans family.
Next, 1 believe it is possible to run
this Government on cold water, where
by great saving would be made in the
cost of decanters, fnger-bowls, etc, at
the White House.
Next, 1 would advocate o more hu-
manizing and satisfactory in the Bureau
Of Indian Affairs.
The milder tribes 1 would sdbiect to
a gradual determination on q Buchu
and Tribune diet, and the bloodthirsty l
would cut up and pack away in rock
salt. l think I know something about
salt.
1t is not true that 1 am opposed to
Grant, but it is true that 1 am some
what in favor of Greeley.
1t is also true that l have drank moth
ing stronger than tea for two and sixty
years. / always drink tea from asaucer,
after the manner of the sages.
Tea can be reased in many sections of
New England. The Boston people gave
the subject some little attention a few
years since, and raised quite a crop.
Aloes could be raised in this State
but for the potato-bug; so could castor
oil and saleratus. H. GREELEY.

Omaha Library Gift Enterprise.

This grand enterprise in aid Of pub
lie library for this city, is conducted
openly, legally and above board, by the
Mutual Aid Association. Messrs. Ly-
ford q Co., the business managers, are
men of wealth, character and integrity,
i'll whom confidence is placed.
The books are open Mt all times for
the inspection of the public; and, if any
person desires an honest, fair and square
chance i'll one of the most liberal and
best managed schemes ever conducted,
now is their time to invest; and we as
sure persons mt distance that their
interests arc us well protected as though
they were present and personally super
intended the management themselves.
Having examined the books ourselves,
we can assure the public the success of
this enterprise is now secure beyond o
question OF doubt; and a public library
SO long needed, will soon be established.
A San Francisco paper, of June 18th,
says, "They have u fine theatre and
opera house in Omaha, and now they
want public library. They have as
much right to ono as San Francisco, and
are taking the same means to establish
it on firm basis. Success to the en-
terprise." That's generous in our neigh
bors over the mountains.
The Daily Record, Of Sacramento,
speaks of the Omaha enterprise, as very
popular on the Pacific coast.
The Montana papers speak OF the OBJ
ject as q most laudable one, and worthy
OF patronage.
The Democratic Archives of Bowling
Green, Indiana, says here is a chance to
draw a magnificent prize by giving the
small sum of two dollars i'll MD Of o
worthy object.
The Decatur (Ill.) Democrat says it
seldom happens that one has an honest
chance to win q fortune in o bona fide,
legal enterprise, conducted by honorable
men, like the one i'll aid of o public IL
brary ut Omaha.
AS soon as the drawing takes place
we shall publish the winning numbers
in the Alta.
Knowing IS we do this enterprise is
conducted on the "square," we have in
vested and expect to get that $4,000;
but if we do not draw a prize we shall
have the satisfaction of knowing that
our money benefits the public instead
of going into the pockets of sharpers.
The managers are reliable business men,
and he who neglects to buy ticket, de-
serves no more favors from Dame For
tune.
1'he drawing viii positively take place
September Goth. Our readers can rest
assured there will be no deviation from
this date, and the prizes paid the day
following, OF atany time when called for.
Persons desiring tickets should secure
them at once, for the tickets are nearly
all sold, and in short time 1t mny be
impossible to secure them, even at any
price, Omaha Alta
