An incident I'm Court.

Everybody knows i. B. Hudson, better and
more Familiarity recognized as Berry" Well,
Berry was juror at Clinton during the past
week, and while he is not the object of particu-
lar spite on the part of any, yet it so happens
that he is not the especial favorite of great
many of that class who are engaged in seeking
to vindicate their rights and redress their wrongs
in the courts of old Anderson. From this, and
perhaps other considerations Berry was OK
cused from every jury empanneed during the
term, until late Friday afternoon, when a case
of vast Importance coming on, to-wit involving
the sum of three dollars, and the citizens gem
orally having left for home, but ten persons
to serve as jurors could be found, when to sur
mount the difficulty and secure the stream of
justice in its unobstructed flow, it was agreed
by the counsel in the case that Berry
and old uncle Jack, an old colored man living in
the vicinity should be taken on the jury, which
agreement was soon in the course of fulflment
by the sheriff rushing the twain into the jury
box when the Court commanded Swear the
jury, Mr.. Clerk and in the twinkling of an
eye, the harness of the law had involved Der
ry' in the meshes of that which he had long
dreaded, and to fight against which he had long
since joined the Constitutional Union onscrva-
tive-Democratic party-Ngge1 Equality.
In q few minutes the case was ended, and
Berry was seen emerging from the court
house into the street with his sleeves rolled up,
swearing he could whip any Radical in East
Tennessee. t...4.. E.Et

Helm the Enterprisiur Boy,

We happen to know that there are number
of worthy boys in the city, poor and friendless,
who would willingly work if any one would
give them employment. Several such have been
made known to us. As proof of their desire to
do something, and to earn a living not only for
themselves but for their widowed mothers and
their helpless sisters, we cite their constant APP
plications for work. Are there no kind Sa-
msritans in our midst? Is there no one who
will come to the relief Of the class about whom
we are writing2 They do not ask for aims.
They Deg for rcork. Give it to them.

More Fine stock.

We saw yesterday fine Jersey COW, two
years old, purchased by Chancellor Temple
from the Blue Grass region of kentucky, she is
thorough bred, imported stock, and one of the
finest specimens of that valuable stock of cattle
that we have had the privilege of seeing. Chan
cellor Temple is taking great interest in the
improvement of our stock, and we think in the in
PRODUCTION of Jersey cattle, he is doing some
thing which will be more beneficial to stock
raisers than almost any other character of stock.
Every farmer should strive to own a Jersey
cow at the earliest nossible moment.
