4 NOVEL RATTLE.
A Beautiful Young Lady Offers Her
self as Prize to the Lucky One.
Seymour Qnd.) Star, January 1,

Seymour Qnd.) Star, January 1,
One Of the most novel, as well as ex-
citing raffles that ever took place in
Seymour came off on Saturday evening
last. Miss Mimic Clarence made the
proposition of putting herself up to be
ratified off, at SO cents chance. At first
the matter was treated as joke, but
when it became known that the offer was
bona fide one, chances went rapidly,
and in less than an hour every chance
was taken, and heavy premiums were
paid by young men anxious to win the
beautiful and lovely prize.
Miss Minnie Is a most bewitching
beauty of Is summers, an orphan, of
respectable parentage, and a member of
the best society Of the state. She was
decidedly the belle of Seymour. and
was loved and admired by all who ever
became acquainted with her, and prob
ably envied just the least bit by the
young ladies. She is bright blonde,
perfect IN form, fair complexion, and
has most ravishingly beautiful eyes.
Ever since she came to Seymour she
has been the center of attraction and
the admiration of the men. In Justice
to Miss Minnie, we should state that
she gave the winner the privilege of &C
cepting or refusing her, and reserved
the same privilege for herself. There
may have been several in the crowd
whom she would have refused, but there
were none, we venture to say, who
would refuse ner. How could they?
The hour set for the rattle came, and
found all ready to try their luck. Miss
Minnie was there in person, dressed In
the height of fashion, to lend q charm
to the occasion. She stood leaning
gracefully against showcase, never
speaking a word or betraying the least
emotion, or showing the slightest pref
erence for any Of the contestants, excep-
ting there was a twinkle in her beautiful
eyes when some young and handsome
clover" would shake the dice.
Name after name was called, and each
one in turn would shake the box with
nervous hand, until all but three had
thrown, and nothing higher than thirty
eight had been thrown. Then came
Lynn Falconer's turn. Lynn is blonde
himself, and clever, Woodworking
young man, and perhaps the twinkle of
her eyes nerved him to the work. At
any rate, he tossed the ivory with steady
hand, and the scorer called 46. The
other two throws were made amid too
much excitement to even be counted,
and the prize was awarded to Lynn,
Minnie came forward and took Lynn s
arm, and the two went ont together,
amid the cheers of the crowd. She &C
companied him to his fathers hotel
where she was presented to his relatives.
who had not the pleasure of her acquain
lance before, after which she was escor
| ted home. We Of course do not know,
certain, but as Lynn is a good, clever
young man, and she would be an honor
to any household, we are inclined tc
think neither of them will back out.

crate the notable events of a year Is a
matter Of pages and we have only
columns. The year of 1874 which was
darkened by casualties and commercial
distress but whose night were lighted
by comet, and whose whole career by
influences which have placed business
upon more solid and satisfactory basis
than it has known for years, is over.
The present year opens with brighter
prospects. The two important ques-
tlons of the time have been so through
ly discussed during the recess that the
44th Congress assemblies with the full
est Information as to the state of public
sentiment. A bill providing for spe-
Gle payments and free-banking has
already been passed by Congress
and has become law. In the
matter of transportation, the peo-
pie having tested their power and the
corporations having felt somewhat heavi-
ly the weight of it, q more conciiatory
spirit prevails. It is believed that the
work Of Legislation will be approached
with sentiment of fairness on both
sides and that the vexed questions can
be speedily set at rest. Business of all
kinds is upon safer foundation than
for some years back. The confidence
SO rudely Jared by the panic is quite
generally restored. The country and
especially the West which was saved by
It's abundant crops from some of the
evils with which other localities were af-
ficted seems ready to enter upon a
new period of prosperity.

USE No DAhIPERS.-These nuIsances
are now quite common, and because
they ssave wood and thereby save
money, they are popular. By shutting
off the upward draft they throw back
into the room all the poisonous gas gen
Grated by the combustion of fuel, and
are therefore, very destructive to health.
It is subject of common remark that
an open fireplace is more healthy than a
stove; and it is largely owing to the bet
ter circulation of air through the open
upward draft. Now it is true that wood
might be saved in fireplace by cover
ing up the top of the chimney, but we
should not wish to live in the house.
And that is exactly the principle on
which wood is saved by means of dam
pers in stove pipes.
Fire may be easily checked by shut
ting off the supply of air in front, and
this is the only safe method Of checking
it in stove If all the air could be
shut off from the fire in front it would
ego out" as quickly as if it were in
mersed in water Thus it will be seen
thar the fire may be well controlled if
the stove is tolerably tight in front when
closed up. All who do not wish to COM
NIT suicide nor to undermine the health
of tho family will do well To discard
stove pipe dampers.-Laaos Of Life.

WHAT WILL THE PEOPLE OF
WASHINGTON COUNTY nor

Below is a correspondence which
will explain itself. As one of the
County Commissioners (for the State
of Tennessee) for the International
Centennial Exhibition at Philadcl
phia, 1876, | have hesitated about
performing my duty, that is, to call
upon the people Of Washington coun.
ty to contribute money TO the State
fund, | have been slow about this
matter, for several reasons, the chief
of which are two, to.wit, the one in.
dicated in my lettor below, to Mr..
Burns, aud the scarcity Of money.
But there are other reasons that | aciH
mention without intending to offend
any one,) why i have delayed this
matter so long--the want of public
spirt-the lack of enterprise. in our
people, and the disposition of some
to oppose matters Of this kind ION
general principles which means op.
position without being able to give a
sensible reason for it) have deferred
me from my duty.
However, l have determined to ap.
peal to the people for the third and
last time to rise, shake themselves,
and lay hold of an opportunity, such
as they will never have again to ex.
hibit to the world what WASHINGTON
COUNTY is. 1t is impossible to meet
every mar in the county who is able
to contribute, and explain to him in.
diuiduGlly, the object Of the Centen.
NAL, the benefits that we, as a people,
may derive by having the products Of
our soil, our natural resources, &C.,
on exhibition at Philadelphia, in 1876.
will therefore ask the people (''be-
ginning at Jerusalem') to meet me at
the following times and places, to-wit,
at the Court House in Jonesboro',
Monday, November 9Th, at 7 o'clock
in the evening Johnson City, at the
Female College, Tuesday, November
9th, at Z O'Clock in the evening Lime
stone Depot, at the new School House,
Wednesday, November 10th, in the
evening. IL the people manifest any
disposition on the above occasions
to assist me we will go on with the
good work until every man in the
county has had an opportunity to
know what he is asked to contribute
TO, and to contribute also. So
come out, gentlemen, there will
be no compulsory process used to
compel you to contribute--and if you
do contribute, however small the
amount, it will be thankfully receiv.
ed, and any article you may wish to
send to the Centennial will be for
warded and cared for without any
further charge. Very Respectfully,
JOHN ALLISON, JR.,
Commissioner.

The following correspondence

tanco IN connection with the Conten-
NAL movement, and we earnestly

will help the cause by giving it as

Dear Sir; AS one of the Centennial
Commissioners for this (Washington)
county; | write to enquire whether
the other counties in the State are
contributing amounts to the Centen.
NAL State Fund, sufficient to warrant
the belief that the amount required
for the State Fund will he raised? In
other words, if you are of opinion
that the State will have q fund suffi-
cient to pay the expenses Of placing
her reasonable products, ETC., on ex-
hibition. by receiving n hundred or
one hundred and fifty dollars from
this county, l will goto work and get
this amount up, and send it to you
dy the LIST Of November, with the un-
Outstanding that the articles sent
from Washington county be forward
ed and cared for at the expense of
the general fund otherwise the peo-
pie Of this county arc disposed to
raise their own funds, organize their
own association, and ship and pay the
expenses of their own articles-the
whole meaning of which, is that the
people of my county are not willing
to contribute without assurance that
they will get the benefit Of their mon
ey. l have been feeling them, and
find this to be the situation. Please
let me hear from you, and send me
any printed matter you have which
will give me any information as To

Dear Sir: Your communication of
the 9th ult, has been handed me by
your friend, Mr.. Burns. / have de:
layed answering it until to-day, as i
wanted TO bring the matter before the
Board of National and State Com.
uissioners. which met at the Capitol
yesterday.
| am now enable to informyou that
the prospects for obtaining tile re.
quislte amount of money to have the
State properly represented at Phila.
delphia, are good. You had best
remit your county's quota to Mr..
Burns, who will see that it is proper
ly expended or returned to you. The
Commission needs money to pay
transportation, advertising. and other
necessary expenses here, and to en-
ploy one or more persons TO reside
in Philadelphia and take charge of
Tennessee's portion Of the exhibi.
ton, from January |, next, until Oc-
tober, 1876.
You canRot secure space for county
exhibitions. The National Commits.
sion will operate only through our
State Board. But if every county
will go to work at once to raise its
quota, and then furnish literally for
exhibition specimens of its products,
the State will take = position in the
Centennial Of which Tennessceans
will feel proud. Respectfully,
