AIR-LOGAN BRAES.

AIR-LOGAN BRAES.
We. settlers OF Red Oak Grove,
Who here first made our homes
In days when we were young and sound.
And could endure fatigue and toll
It's thirty-seven years ago
Since we here first made our homes,
Since then we've passed through many
storms,
Yet here we all are to be found.
Bat let us now much thankful be
Unto that pewer, who did us shield
From many q snare to US unseen.
And preserved us here so long to live.
But now we are old and getting gray,
signifying our decay;
That soon We here will not be found;
But far away in other homes.
But let us not discouraged be,
Altho' this our lot must be;
For here we have much trouble and toll
But there we may have peace and JOY.
Now as our years are here but few.
And soon must bid this " orld adieu;
Oh, may we strive to get home,
Where sin nor sorrow never come.
We would not always here remain
Where sin and sorrow give us pain,
but would away to yonder world
Where none will there be found TO
mourn.
There we will be free from care,
Sin nor sorrow will be there;
But peace and joy will always reign
With songs of gratitude and praise.
Now, as we hitherto have been
In harmony, and friendship lived.
Oh, may We always be the same
While here together we remain.
Now, will close my thoughts in rhyme
On those days OF Auld Lang syne,
And also on those days to come
When none will longer call this home.
The afternoon was passed in social
conversation, and you may be sure
thirty seven years Of acquaintance and
had not failed to beget the
which would encourage it,
or furnish = store of anecdotes and
to enliven it. At last
the company all gathered in one room
and united in singing "The Lords my
Shepherd, I'll not want" and IN an
offering Of thanksgiving to God for
the continuation of their lives and his
many mercies toward them. Then
after many expressions of thankful
ness, and many illusions to the pecu-
liarity Of their position among the set
tiers of the county, they separated
voting the day one Of the pleasantest
they had ever spent.
A few additional facts will show
how peculiar their position is. OF al
the head Of families who settled in the
county in 1886 only Eve still reside in
it. During 1867, eight such per
sons settled in Red Oak, six of whom
took dinner together that day. The
opinion was expressed by the com
pany that of all who came to the couD
ty in 1887, and still reside in it,nearly
one-half were then together.

THE CAUSE OF EDUCATION.
rhc nqii House "City night schools IS

Messrs. Rayl, Gaut, Woodruff Nc
Chung aud Comfort, the City School
Commissioners, having the cause of
education at heart, conceived the idea
Of giving the youths and young men
who can not attend the day school,
their Strengthened circumstances COM
polling them TO work during the day,
an opportunity to get an education,
and night school was commenced at
the Bell House some few weeks since.
The idea met with favor by every one,
especially the literally minded, and
Messrs. Baird and Craig entered into
the work with WILL Some fifty
scholars were enrolled, and the night
schools have had an average attend
auce of about forty, among whom are
some young men % years old. We
would here remark that all over IS
years old, as well rs those living out
side of the corporation, have To pay n
small tuition fee.
We haveuo doub. that more would
have attended, had the matter been
better known, and we believe that
many more scholars will be added TO
the list the first of next month. We
are truly glad that this night school
has been inaugurated it is step I'm
the right direction, and many a young
man who can not afford to quit his
labor during the day because Il mother
or a sister is dependent on his work
for subsistence, is thus given an op-
portunity to get a business education.
The night school should he kept up, 10y
all means, and We trust that the City
Council, and the citizens generally,
will sustain and encourage the enter
prise

DANDRIDGE, Nov. 9th, 1874.
EDITORS CHRONICLE: Our election
passed Off quietly, all over the coun-
ty; and all 1.-THE Republicans have to
complain of was lack of our party
polling her full strength, while the
Southern Democracy rallied alc-ost
every voter they had. Out of l,6li
votes we gave Maynard a round 900.
Mr.. Carson, our Republican candidate
for Representative is elected by a
handsome majority. More than some
of the best Republicans expected, con-
sidering the unusual effort that was
made to defeat him. 1t is remember
ed that he had five other candidates to
run against him, with view of so
disorganizing the party that defeat
would be certain, But while other
counties have fell by the way, old JEFF
ter5on has stood firm, proudly wealth
ering the storm. Proudly cherishing
her past and present victories.

The Supreme Court Saturday de
cided the suit of T.. J. SANFORD vs..
j.. d. Johnson, involving the right OF
the former to charge wharfage of all
boats unloading on the river bank, be-
tween First and Second Creeks, where
Mr.. Sanford claims title. Mr.. John
son, in order to test the question for
himself and neighbors, refused to pay
wharfage and resisted q suit of MIR.
Sanford. The case occupied week in
the Circuit Court, where judgment
was rendered in favor of the plaintiff
BY advice of his counsel Mr.. johnson
appealed. Chief Justice Nicholson in
delivering the opinion stated that q
man owning land on the river bank,
anywhere, had right to establish a
wharf and collect wharfage, and the
only difference with that and city
wharf is that the wharfage at the lat
ter is generally regulated by an ordi-
nance.
This decision afiirms Mr.. Saudford's
title TO his river front, and we under
stand in effect decides his title to the
ground upon which, without proper
legal proceedings, the Bridge Commits
siOners built their bridge pier, Mr..
Sanford has instituted an action of
ejectment, which is now pending.

was out i'm Bays Mountain on Friday,
not far from Rockford. For two or
three hours before sunset and during
the night, dense smoke filled the air in
this vicinity. IL was so dense that the

We would call the attention of our
readers to the advertisement of Messrs.
Hodge G. Brakebils, who wish to buy
all the hogs in the country and will
give the highest market price. They
are reliable gentlemen, as can be ascer-
tanned by calling at any of the banks,
and they evidently mean business.
We are glad that a good market for
hogs has been opened, and we doubt
not, but what our farmers will do well
to consult them before offering to sell
elsewhere, They are enterprising
young men, and will push any bust
ness with which they are connected,
and we predict the Knoxville Pork
House will do a lively business this
