VIII Parker got a good "ducking' in
the Holston river Monday of last week,
while making a business trip to Haw-
kins county William wanted the mule
to ford, but his muleship desired to take
a bath before doing so-consequently,
when it had reached several steps in
the stream from bank, it began plow-
ing operation with its head to ascertain
if the depth was suitable for the pur-
pose, and just as it was sinking on its
knees to scratch away all unnecessary
gravels from under it preparatory to
having good wallowing, William was
made aware of the fact that unless he
got out OF the saddle in all probability
he would go to the bottom with the
mule. In attempting 90 do this, his
foot got fastened in the leather Of
the stirup, and before he could extricate
himself his muleship, without notice Of
the usual form of ceremony, baptized
him "a few such as he never before
experienced. With the exception of a
severe cold Will is all right, though he
has his opinion of that mule.

We learned yesterday that Capt.
Raht, whose sudden death at Cleveland
cast such a gloom throughout East
Tennessee, died In an clubhouse, where
he had been dead two hours when dis
covered. He must have had some
thought Of near death, for il is said
that few minutes before he left the
house for the water closet he wrote a
note addressed to his wife, stating that
she could find the combination Of his
safe in a certain book. The safe was
opened few days since ard, we are
told, there was found therein $40, 900 in
cash and 800, 900 in Government bonds.

4 ORA WBACK ON BRIGHT HOPES

A clergyman of my acquaintance told
me that he once visited a lady of his
parish who had just lost her husband,
in order to offer consolation, and upon
her earnest inquiries as to the reunion
of families III heaven, he strongly as
serted his belief in that fact; and when
she asked with anxiety whether any
time must elapse before friends would
be able 10 find each other in the next
world he cmphatically said, mol they
viii be united at once" He was think
ing Of the happiness Of being able to
offer the relief of such faith when she
broke in upon such meditatious by ex-
claiming sadly, 'Well. his first wife has
got him by this time"

From the Chattanooga Times we learn
that the three prisoners who now lie in
the Dalton Jail under $1,000 bond for
the murder of Standing, the Mormon
elder, have not yet given bond, nor is
there a likelihood of their SO doing.
Public sentiment, in that section, is
divided on the matter the better class
of people deprecate the affair and think
the guilty ones should suffer for the

KNIGHTS OF HONOR,

Of all the secret orders and benevo-
lent societies in our community none
have attracted more notice than the
knights of Honor It's objects are to
unite fraternally all acceptable men
without regard to trade or profession,
and to provide weekly compensation
for the sick and disabled members, and
finally at death to pay each one 1000
insurance money. This insurance is the
principal feature of the order, and one
possessing more real merit than any 9TH
or; and is in fact the cheapest real life
insurance to be had from 0ng source.
The order was organized about FIVE
years ago in Louisville, KY, and has
now grown to about 10000 members,
during this time it has paid out in death
claims nearly 81, 900, 900, which cost the
deceased members only some So, 900, or
$4,000, the remainder of this $1,000
900, was contributed by the surviving
membership costing them on an average
per capita of not more than $20-this is
for the whole five years of the existence
of the order, and covers the Yellow
Fever period of last summer To man
under As years old, the expense of get
ting into this order and staying there
after one gets in, is about $15 to $50
for the first year, and some $40 to $15
per annum, afterwards This will carry
the 50, 600 life insurance and the So per-
week when sick In the old style life
insurance companies the insurance
above would cost from $40 to $50 per
year, according to age. Morristown
Lodge, No. 979, Knights of Honor, meet
every Thursday night Applications
for membership will be cheerfully re-
ceived and presented by any member.
