LINES.
As the rosy hue of even,
Faints mid twilight shadows gray;
As the mist clouds from the ocean
Break beneath the suns warm ray;
So the dreams of youths bright springtime
Slowly fade and sadly fly,
Till along the past's dim vista,
Like weird spectral spirits lie.
How we dreamed the golden hours
OF our childhood swift away,
Fancied that the fragrant flowers
With the summer winds at play,
Would forever bloom in beauty;
But alas cold Winter storms
Swept their chilling blasts above them,
Leaving dead and lifeless forms.
We have oft with halos vested.
Hearts we deemed squire and fair,
Thought but noble actions rested,
Bright with truth in iirmncss there;
But to find our fancies drifting
Colby, swiftly far away,
And instead of gold, the casket
Filled with dull and worthless clay.
Why must Hope brightly allure us,
When we find our fond trust gone,
Why with soft glance reaSsure us,
Tripping on with lightsome song;
All! she points with shining finger
TO the peaceful land above,
Where our fancy dreams may lingcr,
In true forms of heavenly love.

silver Wedding.

The monotony of our village was somewhat dis
turbcd. last Friday evening, it being the twenty
fifth anniversary of the marriage of Mr.. and Mrs.
II. A. McCreary;. They gave an entertainment to
celebrate their Silver Wedding, and taking new
departure, included tin and crystal with it. 1t was
grand affair, and conducted in the best style,
Misses Ida and May McCreary receiving the guests
at the door. a supper was served at 10 2. M, the
table being loaded with every dehcacy of the
season. Amongst the persons present, were
Samuel Harrison and his youthful bride; Mr.. and
Mrs s. G.. Scarf. Mr. and Mrs. j. B. Curry, DR.. and
Mrs Dctey, Mr.. and Mrs. c. Scarf Mr.. and Mrs.
o. Ford Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Keen, Mr. and Mrs ID.
b. Ely, and great many others, both old and
young numbering in all between seventy-five and
one hundred. Every one seemed well pleased,
and some suggested that they must have Silver
Wedding also. Even one old bachelor was led to
declare that he must get Il wife now. The table
that held the presents some ten feet in length
and was well filed Many of the articles were
valuable, and handsome, being in all over one hun
dred pieces.
The company separated in the wee small hours
of the morning, apparently in the best of humor
with themselves and the rest of mankind in gem
cral and with many kind wishes for the future
happiness of their host and hostess. Il. b.

Crop Prospects and other Matters.
GREENEVILLE, July Is, 1879.


GREENEvILLE, July Is, 1879.
Mr.. EDITOR: After long spell Of
hot, dry weather, the hottest and
dryest which the oldest Inhabitants
on. last Saturday and Sunday with
rains which almost deluged the whole
face of the earth. In fact, every hol-
low was turned into creek, and creek
and rivulet into torrent. The rain
on Sunday which was only little
heavier than the one on Saturday,
raising the water courses in Greene
Vile higher than was ever before
known. A plank walk leading from
Main street to the depot, which had
been in place for ten years without be-
ing moved by water was washed out
of place, and in the livery stable of
Hawkins & O'Brien, which was con-
sidered out of reach of high water. the
water was from one to two feet in
depth. Richland Greek, which
heads at the big spring in Greeneville,
is re ported to have washed away every
| fence between GreeneviiIe and the
river, a distance of about five miles.
! We also had some hail on last Satur-
day, and the lightning in its freaks
| struck several trees and killed one fine
MAZE for Mr.. John Hanlon, about two
miles north of town. We also had
wind, proatrating many fruit trees,
and one shade tree on Main street.
On last Sunday the news reached
| our town Of the drowning of Phillip
| Nease, a young man about twenty one
years of age, a son of George Nease,
who lives on the line between Greene
! and Cooke counties. 1t appears that
| young Nease, with three others, went
| into Chuckey river bathing, on last
| Saturday. One of these, an expert
| swimmer, swan across q rapid chan
| mel, and young Nease attempted to
| follow. His comrade heard him hol-
low, but thought nothing of
it, until he reached shallow
water. He then turned and tried to
rescue him, and got within about eight
| feet, when he sank for the last time.
Owing to a rise in the river, the body
was not found until Sunday, when
it was found two hundred yards be-
low the point where he was drowned.
Greene county has very good wheat
crops in fact, better than was expec-
ted. There is fair prospect for q
good corn crop in some parts of the
county, but in other parts there have,
as yet, been no rains, and the corn
crop is very much damaged.
| The streets of Greeneville have,
since the abolition of our town char
ter, received no attention, and are get
ting badly out of repair. An attempt
will be made soon to have overseers
appointed and the streets worked,
We may then expect that under the
silly policy adopted by the Legisls-
ture, our streets will be about as
well kept up as East Tennessee public
roads. =
Greeneville does not appear to be
| favorite resort for Southern visitors.
The reason is not easily explained. as
in point of good water, healthy loca>
ton and good citizens, our town will
at least compare favorably with other
towns where these visitors are stop
ping in large numbers. With good

WHY STATE CREDIT MEN, AND
ESPECIALLY REPUBLT-
CANS, SHOULD VOTE
FOR THE CON-
PROMISE.

Ever since the Democrats came
into power in Tennessee, there has
been a large element, and a grow
ing one, who held that what is
known as the Brownlow bonds, by
which is meant the bonds issued un-
Gov. Brownlow's administration,
were issued without authority of
law and were, consequently, null
and void. Of course this was I'M
true and Republicans denied it.
When the last Legislature met,
committee of investigation was ap-
pointed in the interest Of repudia-
ton, with the premeditated purpose
of reporting a large proportion of
State debt illegal, and by that
means to furnish pretext for its
reputation. That committee re-
ported as it was expected to re-
port, that only a little over
two millions of the debt
was lawfully and properly created,
and if they did not say so in SO
many words, the inference was that
the remainder of it ought to be re-
pudiated.
In the face of this report, the
bill was passed looking to a compro-
mise of the debt at fifty per cent,
with four per cent. interest. That
measure places the entire debt on
an equal footing. It recognizes the
fact, which is a fact, that the bonds
issued under Gov. BrownloW's adj
ministration and those issued in aid
of railroad enterprises before the
war, which constitute yearly eigh-
teen-twentieths of the debt, are
just as valid as any other portion of
it. This settles the question of
validity for all time to come, that
is, provided this proposition is
carried. IF it is not, the question
will come up again, the ad-
vocates of reputation will gain
renewed strength, and there
is great danger that they
may succeed in having every
dollar of the debt, with the
exception of little over two mil
lions, repudiated.
Now, as no one can be forced to
fund their claims under this PROPOSE.
ton unless they are willing to do SO,
State credit men, and especially
Republicans, can well afford to vote
for the measure, Notwithstanding il
