Monday wss Quarterly Court day, and
quite n humble Of people from the coun-
try were in town. The County Court was
mostly occupied with the subject oftaxing
the n. 81 C., Railroad and also the propo-
sltion OLA Normal School at Winchester
was suggested to Their consideration, and
met with Il favorable notice by that wor-
shipful body, The subject of assessing the
y. a. G.. Railroad for taxation was pre-
scented to the Court by Mcssrs. Arlcdgc,
Metcalfc, aud others, and it was strongly
pressed upon the Court to advise the as
SCISSORS of the districts through which the
road runs TO list the road, fixtures and APP
pur%tcnances. This was passed almost
unanimously by the Court. Only one man
disscntcd, and he gave as a reason that 1t
would be Il more proper time for him to
vote when legal action was taken on the
subject. | do not know, however, what hc
meant, and doubt If he does himself.
1t is time this pricileged oppression was
properly understood by the people Of Ten

Fishing has been "A paStimc for Il Lumber
of our citizens during the past week or
two. We went ourselves OF Friday last
and campcd out on Friday night in order
to keep up the success with which we met.
All! we had splendid time, and we for
got for the noucc the trials, and cares, and
pcrplcXities, and bargain-driyin2, and
ungratelulnesS, and Hypocrisy, &C., of
mankind. We rcveled in the glorious
scenes around us-tiie angry stream OF
EN- River, the towering hills, the granite
bluffs. the budding trees, the green fields
of wheat, the fr0lichsome squirrels, &c.
And then. who can tell the pleasure of
manipulating a huge trout or perch from
his watcry home into M element where
fins can avail him nothing! Who can
paint the delight which the angler feels
when he sees the dancing cork 90 down
and knows that his minnVr has lurcd a
larger fish to ultimate death! Thus it Is
that some men lHrC Others OF their kind to
destruction. They bait uS with blame
Sillll'S bIlNl lioIll'b "'l"' una ~
the victims of our W rapacity.
But, do rot think us Il sportsman. We
are fond of fishing, and the husband or
father who occasionally take a day from
his legitimate business to fill his basket
with delicious fish should not be consid-
cred as a mere sportsman but a Gooo
''proyider'' for his family OF those things
which are Of vital utility. Fish Giet is
very essential. and it is proven that those
nations who eat fish with one meal each
day are undoubtedly the most capable Of
brain labor without exhaustion or fatigue
Sucb ~pho.photir food i conducive to the
activity of the brain. But, we need al@w
against scining, and we shall hereafter

Az ArRIL iloAT The Louisville il
brary Drawing took place Oh the 3lSt Of
March. ani 81 co"rsc there was much in
terest throughout the whole country In
regard to the matter. Thousands OF tick
cts had been sold. and we venture to say
that every holder was anxious to the re-
suit of the drawing. A goodly number, il
seems, had been sold in Franklin county.
for the managers Of the Library had adj
vertised in the Home journal. and success
followed, AS u natural consequence. But
to the point:
IN the night OF the 3lst the successful
numbers were tclcgraplcd all over the
country. or course every telegraph OPP
orator could "catch' the numbers. The
operator at Cowan, in our county. knew
OF several numbers held by several very
clever men about Cowan, and the next
day being about TO be the lst Of April
"All-FoolT' D%ay.n-hc concluded to have Il
little fun. SO. he took OF the successful
numbers rs they passed over the wires,
and placed among them the numbers he
remembered to have been held by the
aforesaid clever parties. And you may
"bct your bottom dollar" there was re-
joicing. Mr.. - and Mr.. IS
joint ticket had drawn $4,000. Mr.
had drawn $500. In fact. Cowan was in
luck, and it pleaSes Us to learn that there
waS universal rejoicing that such and such
n man haG drawn Il fortune. Alas. too
frequently We envy each other 9 )Od for
tune. Too frequently we wish to see 9TH
erS unfortunate because we ourselves are
so, upon the pripciple that misery loves
company" In this case. however, while
some may have regretted that they wore
not lucky, yet were glad that some one in
our county had drawn Il prize. We felt so
when Col. b. +. MEG. anne to town and
told us Of the good fortune which bclcl
certain ones at Cpwan, whom We knew to
be every way worthy.
70 make the hoax more plauSiblc-aye.
" proofs of Holy Writ" the mischieyous
operator at Cowan tclegraphcd the num-
bcrs to the operator at Tullahoma, told
him the secret, and also told him to give
them Oh a piece of paper to conductor
House. When the train arrived at Cowan,
conductor House called out the successful
numbers. This was all the confirmation
needed, and such rejoicing wa never
known before. Alas. it was a transitory
pleasure. As Burns has it:
Z" For pleasures are like peoples spread,
You SirHc the fow'r the bloom is shed;
Or, like the sMUw-flakcs in Il river
one moment white, then gone forever"
1t was all an April fool" We only
wish it had been truc-that hopes so high
and pleasure 50 natural had not met so
mtimely Il blight.
