Knoxville daily chronicle. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1870-1882, 1879-06-28

Mr.. Adam Hodges, from the lower
end of Knox county, tells us very
remarkable, indeed, but true story OF
a nephew of his, Jim Hodges, who
has lived with his uncle for several
years. Jim is about Is years old,
though very small of his age, and ap-
parently delicate and not very stout
or hardy, but his experience mas
proved the contrary; In fact 1t seems
that he was never born to die by ac'
cident. Some days since Jim was
getting on a mule which han just
been taken from the pIoW In
the field, to return home,
and having bucket I'D his
hand threw it over the mules back,
giving IT a pretty bad fright, so that it
started to run making fearful speed
Jim got hung somehow in one Of the
traces, and was dragged distance of
one hundred yards, the mule, in the
mean time, making some tremeu 1ous
leaps, thrashing Jim against the
ground or any thing which came in
the way. 1t was not until the chain
came loose that he was freed from his
peTilous situation, and he was then
taken up wholly uncOnsci us
and to all appearances dead.
He was soon restored to conscious
ness, however, and after keeping his
bed few days was all right again.
This was not his only experience,
though, as Mr.. Hodges informs Us.
Jim has run several as narrow es-
capes before. On two different occa
sions he was run over by heavily
loaded wagons, once directly over the
head and once across his breast. AT
another time he fell from a heavy
wagon just as it was starting down
a sleep hill, and was dragged
some distance, over rough ground by
the locked wheel. At still another
time he was riding horse at full speed,
the horse ran against g fence and
killed himself instantly, and Jim was
thrown a fearful fall. Strange to re-
late, be hardly had to stop work at
any of these times, and these are only
some of the most serious of his mis-
laps. Jim has certainly had a re-
marks able and checkered career, and |
his folks can not decide whether to |
call him lucky Jim" or "unlucky |

How East Tennessee Looks to "a Geor-
Sian.

A "Visitor from Rome" writing
from Knoxville, under date of June
18th to the Rome, Ga, daily Bulletin,
says:
II came up here on Tuesday last,
and was very much pleased at the
crop prospects. 1t has been my lOt
to travel this route frequently for
many years. / never saw as fine
crops of wheat, corn and grass. From
the time you cross the HiWassee at
Charleston, you begin to see the fine
wheat SHOCKS, look like rye shocks
and oats the same. Corn about shouI-
der high, even and green. Fine raius
have fallen along the road. Lemons
farm is perfectly lovely. In addition
to the fine wheat, corn and oats, there
is about one hundred acres of the
most beautiful timothy grass that the
eye Of man ever looked upon. How
much il will make 10 the acre is un-
known to me. 1t was beng

Vice President Wheeler's Absence.
Special to the Philadelphia Press.

OpeCldI 10 the hlIduGlpnta ASeS'
WASHINGTON, June 24.-During
the more recent phases of the con-
troversy in the Senate there had
been much talk amongst Republi-
can Senators concerning the pro-
tracted absence of Vice President
Wheeler. They state that, with
a Republican filing the Office, it is
important that he should preside
over the Senate, rather than have
the Democrats not only holding a
majority, but also presiding over
the Senate. Vice President Wheeler
left here several months ago to at
tend the sick-bed of favorite sist
ter. He was much Frustrated by
her disease, but it is thought by
those who are most anxious for his
return, that his visit to the noun
tains of New York must have sufi-
GENTLY recuperated his health.
When he left here the Vice Presi-
dent expected that Congress would
remain in session but a few weeks,
but the protracted term of their
controversy has called for his re-
turn. Should the contest reopen
his friends will advise his return.

The VI aryvflle Press ON Our Fourth.
The following encouraging words
are from the Maryvills Democrat:
We. too, have received one of those
beautifully illustrated and happily
worded Invitations 10 attend the cele-
bratiOn of the 4th of July at Knoxville,
which promises to be the grandest
demonstration, of the kind, that East
Tennessee has ever had an opportunity
of witnessing. We have tackled up
our invitation in conspicuous place
in our Office and never fail to call the
attention of visitors to ii. Having thus
had an opportunity of learning the
disposition of our people upon this
subject by specially calling their at
tenIion to il, we feel safe in saying
that the grand continental army of
old Blount will be there in full force.
Our citizens are especially proud
that the Executive Committee have
elected Gen. r. N. Hood, one of our
honored citizens, Chief Marshal of the
day, and we take the liberty, in their
name, OF than king the COMMITTEES fer
the honor conferred upon him and the
county, and promising that old Biount
will not be wanting in anything on
that OCCASION, to entitle her to the dis
tinction thus conferred upon her,
through one of her esteemed citizens.
We have been authorized by the
managers of the K. & G.. Railroad to
say that there will be two trains from
Maryville to Knoxville on that day,
one leaving Maryville at the usual
time, $50, q. M, and returning at 4:2O,
p. M, and one leaving Maryville
about 6, p, M, and returning after the
fireworks are over at night, and that
tickets will be sold for the round trip
at 90 cents, good for the entire day, so
that persons going up in the morning
can return on the came ticket at night.
Let everybody go and have their
patriotism thoroughly revived.
The following is from the Inder:
We return thanks to the committee
for an invitation to attend the cele-
bratiOn at Knoxville on the Fourth.
and hope to be present on that occa-
sion, as there will probably be- no
grand demonstration at this place. AT
Knoxville our Nations birthday is to
be celebrated with big display, and
all East Tennessee is expected to assist.
We notice Gen. r. N. Hood is to be
Chief Marshal of the day, and we ex-
pect that MaryvilIe will turn out and
help her neighbor do the thing up in
style.
