Associated press office at 1918, p. M, hav-
ing been nearly six hours in transit from
London. 1t was delayed by the Cable
Companies, probably in London, and we
have every reason to believe with malicious
purposes and as part of a general system
of fraud practiced by the Cable managers,

A Story With a Moral,

Wins of the Post is a philosopher. He
has an original way of putting things. He
illustrates the "bloody chasm business
thusly: ID. ./# |##t H+||
The st. Louis Democrat prints this beau
tifnl little story:
There is covered bridge at Peoria, five
hundred feet above high water mark. A
drover recently attempted to drive thou
sand sheep across it. When about half way
over, the bell weather noticed an open win
dow, and, recognizing his destiny, made a
strike for glory and the grave. When he
reached the sunlight he at once appreciat-
ed his critical situation, and, with leg
stretched toward each cardinal point of the
compass, he uttered a plaintive 'Ma-a ="
and descended to his fate. The next sheep
and the next followed, initiating the ges-
ture and the remark of the leader, For
hours it rained sheep. The placid stream
was incarnadine with the life-blood of mo-
ribund mutton, and not until the brief tail
of the last sheep as it disappeared through
the window waved adieu to this wicked
world did the movement cease.
The above story was written long before
the present election, and was not designed
to have any allusion to the bridge ''across
the bloody chasm," constructed by the
master wOrkmen at Cincinnati and Balti-
more. The moral, however, is as obvious
as it is old always look before you leap"

A New Way OF Advertising.

The bill-posters of this city are shrewd
and an enterprising set of men. Nothing
comes amiss to them, as is clearly shown
by their readiness to turn the carcasses of
the dead horses lying in many of our streets
to their own use. In various parts of the
town, where these carcasses arelying, these
wide-awake persons have plastered the
bodies all over with the advertising sheets
of their patrons, so that these heaps of car
rion, by this ingenious treatment, have been
made to become very picturesque objects
and in some cases worthy of close inspec-
tion.-N. Y. Post,

Wool TRADE.-The wool market, which
for some time past has been almost at a
standstill with me, on account of the low
price, has revived within the past week,
and we hear of a number of sales being
made at from fifty to fifty-five cents. 1t is
estimated that fully two-thirds of the clip
in this county remains unsold, which &C.
counts in great measure for the tightness
in money matters we have been feeling so
sensibly for some time past Washington

A Hopeful Indication.

NASHVILLE, Nov. 9.-The defeated par
ties in Tennessee are becoming reconciled
as to the result of the elections and hope
that good may follow. AS an indication
OF hopefulness, we may state that Northern
gentlemen of large capital, who had con-
cluded to emlgrate to ST. Louis have, since
the election, determined to remain in Ten
nessee, believing a new policy will be in
augurated for the development of the
resources of the State.

AIndre ON The Stumn.

Judge Peter Turney, one of the Supreme
at Winchester last Tuesday, in which
he is reported to have abused Andrew
Johnson to his hearts content. We were
equally mortified and astonished at this.
We could scarcely believe that man hold
ing his pure and exalted position, could
SO far forget the dignity of his office, as to
draggle the sacred ermine of justice, which
he wore in the muddy pool of politics.

"THE RECORD
PROSPECTUS.


The want of religious paper. which should possess
certain well defined characteristics, has long been felt
in East Tennessee. Such paper, it seen, should
be SO cheap that every family might take 1t yet so
high tened fresh and vigorous to be highly esteemed
local in character to interfere with none Of our
able religious weeklies, published abroad; and so eX-
cusvely religious as to compete with none OF our pro-
gressive secular papers.
It is proposed to meet this want by the publication ut
Knoxville Tennessee, of pNper called The REcoRD,
which while especially under Presbyterian auspices
shall sincerely aim to develop the religious interests Of
East Tennessee. The of all the churches and
igous bodies in section will be thankfully accept
ed and will be given as fully and impartially as pos
sible
The great aim will be to acquaint churches with
one another and place people in practical sympa
est Christian thought Of the age. Politics will be
tirely excluded Nothing uncharitable or partisan
controversial will be admitted, but only that which it
is hoped may promote the glory of our Lord Jesus
Christ in whose name this enterprise is begun.
We desire to place the paper In every family IN East
Tennessee and to this end earnestly ask the co-opera
tion Of every Christian worker. That cheapness and
excellence may be combined it will beissued monthly
but good paper and in the best STYLE and will
sist of eight pages, large quarto.
The first number will be issued early in January,
