Allow me to introduce you to the

are very annoying sometimes, and
ashhoppers, or the building of them,
are troublesome, especially if you

We hear that a certain young
man and some friends in Giles early
in the Centennial year, went to
steal a farmers daughter The old
lady-haylng heard of it, took loda-
ing with the girl. The boys broke
in, and Jim seized the old lady,
thinking it was his girl. She strug-
gled and screamed fret murder etc.
Jim thought she would recognize a
kiss and made a pass at the old la
dys's mouth, unfortunately knock
ing out the only two teeth she had.
Discovering his mistake he fed in
great confusion. The case was af
terwards compromised, however,
the old lady receiving a new set OF
teeth for Better mastication, and
he receiving the daughter. Better
for worse.
P. S.-If this is true, we wish to
notify other young men there are
several old ladies in our rancho out
here who arc blessed with more
daughters than teeth, who would
like to make the same deal with
Tennessee gents. Don't all come
