Nouns ending in ey form their plural
regularly by adding s; as key, keys;

spelling.
The word ,chiSEy has no in it, and its
plural is tchiSkieS not lrhiskeys.

BOOKS AND DINNERS.
Hartford Courant,


There is still a popular belief that it is
less extrayagant TO spend $40 for a dinner
than 81 for book. A festive person out
on a holiday will spend twenty-five cents
for quart of peanuts which he does not
need, aud which he eats up in an hour or
two Ito his inward damage), who would
never think of buying for the same money
some cheap edition of a standard book
which would furnish him solid enjoyment
for many days, and add materially to the
value of his life. Such a reluctance is
there to buy books that whole neighbor-
hood, eager, perhaps, to read new work
by popular author, (hungry for it, will
wait for months to borrow it and snatch
the reading of it, rather than spend half a
dollar to own it and satisfy the intellectual
appetite at once. Every day, in every city,
people spend s. and SO for elaborate
lunches which they do not need, when the
money would buy some fine edition of a
work that would entertain them for a
month or two, and enrich their minds for
ever. They are prodigal about eating and
drinking, spending literally for dyspepsia,
buC trust to chance and borrowing for what
the mind wants. The sample-room is
more attractive to them than the news
room, and they pass by the bookstore for
the restaurant.

AN AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL EDITOR.
ChicaQn Times

There are few editors in the land who,
however maligned and misrepresented,
would use the newspaper conlumns which
they control 10 furnish forth biography of
themselves. Mr.. st. Clair Abrams, editor
of the atlanta NelcS, is not of the majority
of his profession. Like Bottom he insists
upon playing the lion and presently wedis-
cover him with front and ears by which that
noble animal would be nowhere reeogniz-
ed. He can roar though, such roar as
sets some barren number of readers 10 cry
ing, as Bottom fancied the Duke would
cry, "Let him BOar againl Let him Roar
again" After devoting half column to
the narration of who he isn't, he treats his
readers TO statement of who is:
"His father was very respectable gen.
tleman of an old and hOnored family-a
merchant and planter with medical edu-
cation. His mother is member of one Of
the Oldest, wealthiest and most respectable
families of the island of jamaica fami-
ly noted for its prominence, for its pride of
race, and for its social pOsitlon-in short,
an old, aristocratic, slave-holding family,
who owned negroes enough to make large
village, and who were deprived of them Y
the British government when it emaneipa-
ted the slaves"
He pats himself upon the head as a
sound Southern man, and offers to the peO-
of the South his spen, his sword, and his
life. As he speaks complacently Of the
enthusiasm with which he waved the said
sword son fifteen battle-fields, and in a
siege of forty-seven days at Vicksburg,"
we ae quite willing to believe that it
would be of more service to the South than
his pen, which, however trenchant does
noes not seem to be in the hands Of man
entirely great. The South should there
fore accept his sword. 1t would be useful
to stick pigs withal.

THE MISERY OF IDLENEss.

Most young people think an idle life
must be pleasant one, but there are none
who enjoy il so little, and are such bur
dens to themselves, as those who have
nothing to do. Those who are obliged
to work hard all day enjoy their short
period of rest aud recreation so much
that they are apt to think if their whole
life were spent in rest and recreation it
would be the most pleasant Of all. But
this is a sad mistake, as they would soon
find out if they made a trial Of the life
they think so agreeable. One who is never
busy can never enjoy rest, for rest implies
relief from presiOus labors; and if our
whole time were spent in amusing
ourselves We should find il more
wearisome than the hardest days work.
Recreation is only valuable as it unbends
us; the idle can know nothing of it. Many
people leave of business and settle down
to life of enjoyment, but they generally
find that they are not nearly so happy as
they were before, and are often glad to re-
turn to their old occupations to escape the
miseries of Incidence.

PROVISIONS.

To-day has proved quite an epoch in the
course of the meat market. After advanc-
ing steadily and often rapidly for several
months, prices to lk a downward turn to-
day and declined from I to &c. 1t is due
to the fact that spectators in the West
have loosened their grasp on the supplies,
which they have done in order to realize.
1t is ascertained, however, that the quantity
ofbacOn sides is very limited, and it is not
improbable that a reaction may occur
Lard is steady and unchanged. We quote
the provision market as follows:
BULK MEATs-Ciear rib sides Isle.
BACON-ShOulders 113611sc; clear rib
sides 1919; clear sides 1870.
CANVAsED HAMS-155c.

THE meanest man has been found. His
name is Charles Ford, late of Chicago.
Ten days ago his poor wife became a
mother. Ford drew all his money from
bank and went to St. Paul. Thither, as
soon as she was able, Mrs. Ford went also,
in order to briug him backto his house and
family. She met him in the street, and
put into his arms the body Of her babe. 1t
had died on the cars. He took it and went
with her to his fathers house, where the
sorrowing wife and mother told the story
of her troubles. She turned to speak TO
him, but he was gone, and has not since
been seen. Mrs. Ford will not follow him,
but is on her way to join her relatives in
New York.

IAN OLD RECORD4

A copy of the record kept by an Orderly
Sergeant in Gen. Jackson's command
during the Seminole war, has been pre-,

Hickory 10 his command.
The following is literal copy of one of
said orders:

ISigned1 "ANDREw JACKSON,
"Major General.
"At headquarters, at Nashville, Tenn +,
March 10th, 1873"
This record is also found in the same
book, under date of 1922:
"Beni. Trotter, to board for two sons for
two months, while attending school, $4,000.
Bolin c. North, Dr., for board for son,
while attending school, $1,000"
Several other names appeared on the list,
among them the names Of Sterling Brewer,
Thos. Sharon, Christopher Robertson, J.
II. Beaver and Mrs. Swanson, all of whom
had children attending this school, which
was taught by DR.. G. Blackham, during
the summer and winter of 1921. Some of
these names are familiar to the older resi-
dents of the county.

FINANCIAL.

In financial circles business remains very
dull. The banks are not discounting ex-
cept in very few cases The regular
banking rate is ten per cent. per annum,
while on the street money is worth one per
cent. per month.
Gold advanced in New York yesterday to
ITO, but closed at 1904. For the small
sums offered here dealers pay 1851, while
they hold at 1923. Silver is taken at 1O2
for halves and quarters.
Government securities are slightly bet
ter. The 5-2Os of 1867 are quoted in New
York at l17s. They would bring here
about 1l6i.
Tennessee bonds are quoted in New York
at 70 and at 81. There is nothing doing
in these bonds in this market.
Our local securities are dull with no
transactions reported. For quotations we
refer to those given by the Nashville Sa-
wings Company, corner Union and College
streets.
