Some of our citizens might think that
Col. Bewley is devoid of mechanical
skill and is only fit to add to his already
over-stocked avoirdupOis capacity, more
flesh. Not so, by jug full. We know
better than that ourselves He not
only understands farming, but is one Of
the most experienced and practical
farmers in the State, and owns as good
farm as can be found anywhere in it, in
| Guiding the rich bottoms along the va
rious streams. Besides, if any little me-
chanicsl work is to be executed, which
his hands cannot do, without 3 word Of
complaint, and good-naturedly, the Col
onel tackles the job forthwith, and when
it is finished you can bet your last bot
tom Dickle it is finished in a mastery
manner. We noticed him last week
manufacture yoke for his fine young
mule colt. He did not put himself to
the trouble and exhaustion by running
himself to death to cooper shop to get
drawing-knife and piece of seasoned
sAhAOCA- Wv AAAuNAAs AO SOlOhNA -
too good judge for such work, and
knows just how to grasp an opportunity
to save time and labor. In this instance,
he stepped to his woOd-pile, picked up
a saplIng, took out his jack-knife and
whitfield on the young growth until he
reached the pavement when he stopped.
He stood few minutes surveying his
work, and coming to the conclusion IT
needed more whiting, he again used
his ancient blade upon it, After few
minutes labor in this way, he stopped
the work of the jack-nife, which he laid
aside, and, with both hands strained,
employed his muscular facilities in
bending the sapling to the desired shape.
His strength proved vain. Then, after
pausing awhile, doubtless meditating
the amount of bending it needed, he
walked to the sign-post of Earnest &
Briscoe's, whiting on it and pulling of
small bits as he went, and placed il
against the post. This was where he
got away with that piece Of timber.
The Col onel is too good mathemati-
clan not to know that when a rule re-
fuses to work one way there is way
to make it work another-hence, upon
this plan he got away with the sapling,
and Tapped it and made as handsome a
yoke of it as could be scared up in a
first-class yoke factory. But in doing
it, we thought he was going to get
away with something else-with that
sign-post.

A Remarkable Woman.

About fifty years ago there came to
this country from Germany one of the
most remarkable women of the nine
teenth century. This woman had fine
education and greatwealth. She might
have lived life of ease aud luxury, but
she chose rather to spend her time and
wealth in doing good to her race especl-
ally devoting herself to the relief of chill
dren. Thousands Of children owe their
life to her thoughtful care and skill, aud
thousands yet unborn will live to call
her blessed for having preserved to pos
teriiy the result of her skill and exper-
fence in Mrs. Windows Vermifuge and
Worm Candy which never fails TO re-
move all the worms from their system if
properly used.

The sanitary condition of Memphis is
reported by the Board of Health of that
city to be better than at any previous
time in twenty years. So far the death
rate, as compared with previous seasons,
has been quite small, and since genuine
summer set in there has been a remark
able decrease in the class of fevers usu-
ally incident to this season of the year.
DR.. Thornton, President of the Board
of Health, mentions it as striking fact
that during the past two weeks there
has not been a single death from fever
of any form. This has not occurred be-
fore during any two weeks of June for
six years

If there is anything about town that
is calculated to attract public attention
and give it credit, it is a good hotel
with an accommodating manager. 1t
is lever to community, and is better
adapted to promote the interests of a
town more than any other concern in it
except live newspaper People come
and go. If they become impressed with
the good qualities of a hotel they are
sure to revisit it or recommend 1t to
their friends. The merchants should
be liberal IN their dealings with hotel
keepers, for they generally obtain
good patronage through their influence,
and besides, il they did but know it
their success depends largely upon them.
Maj. Tom Cain, proprietor of the Cain
House, perhaps has made as much repu-
tation as any man in the South in the
hotel business, and his popular house is
known far and wide and constantly re-
ceives a healthy patronage. Messrs.
Rambe s. Co., porprietors of the Com
mercial House, have been in our town
but a short time, but through their en-
ergetic attention to business, polite
manners and good treatment of guests,
are receiving a good patronage and
making an enviable reputation.

TO THE TEACHERS or HAMBLEN

IT, THE IhACHEHS OF' HAMbLbN
COUNTY,
The Hamblen county Normal will
open July 18th and continue two weeks.
Every teacher in the county is expected
to attend. The school will close with
a written examination of teachers, and
no certificates will be issued until that
time Teachers who refuse TO attend
must make up their minds to abide the
consequences, and should they fail in
the examination, the fault lies with
them. Let it be remembered. that all
applicants for certificates, whether they
attend the Normal or not, will be re-
quired to be present at the close, July
%, and undergo the examination. Ar
rangements have been made for meeting
the expenses, board, etc, so lack Of
money will be no excuse. Teachers
from other counties and persons desir-
ing to fit themselves for teaching here
after will be admitted upon payment of
a reasonable fee. All the teachers who
can possibly do so, are requested to
meet, me in Morristown, Saturday, July
