Bill Arp.

Mai. Charles H. Smith, the verit-
able, live Bill Arp, gave his inlmit-
able lecture, Society" to Pulas-
Xxi audience last Wednesday night.
We were sorry to see so small an
audience, for the reflection upon our
people is worse than the pecuniary
damage to Maj. Smith. His lee
ture was brimful of the brightest,
cleaning, scintillating wit and cpl
grammatic humor, interspersed in a
real, solid, sensible essay upon So
ciety, like sparkling diamonds set
in solid gold. 1t is useless, howev-
er, to say this of a man whose rep
utation is as wide as the love oil
humor. The audience was delight
ed, and those who did not attend
of course care nothing for what he
said. We were glad of the oppor.

Found.-Four miles north of
town the other day, a saddle that
looked as if it had been belched up
by Etna, and blown across the con
tinents in a tornado and SCARED by
many battles; blanket that seemed
to have been riven by lightning into
shreds about large enough TO bind
up broken mosquito-legs; a bottle
labeled "whisky," but evidently
containing poison, for where it fell
and lay an hour or so it killed all
the grass around for yards. although
tightly corked. The loser must
have been buckeycd and is perhaps
dead, for there IS the print Of a man
on the side of the road that looks

down like a COB of mud. Owner

The Lawrenceburg Free Press
has changed its tune. 1t now be
lieves Pulaski would do her part to-
ward building a road to Lawrence
burg if put to the test. Only few
short weeks ago it charged her with
indifference on the subject, and on
the plea that Pulaski would new
err do anything, turned in favor
of road to Columbia. Pulaski has
always intended to build the Law
renceburg road until Lawrenceburg
decided that she preferred the Co
lumbia route, but Pulaski cannot
see how both roads could be sus-
tanned, and hence will hardly spend
her money for so costly an Orna
ment. If Lawrence will give up
her Columbia project and spend
just half the money on our line, we
will guarantee her a road. This is
the natural outlet for Lawrence, and
but for the crippled financial condi-
ton of our people a road would
have long since been built, and il
would have been built this fall Ger
tain, but for the Columbia project,
But the Lawrenceburg editor is
mistaken if he supposes there is
any sentiment here in favor of il
under present circumstances. WheI
your road to Columbia fails, thu
prodigal may return, and we viii
receive him with outstretched arm:
and the fatted calf.

Eas, Tennesseeans In Missouri.

A correspondent, Solomon Sifax,"
in the course of letter from Rondo,
Polk county, Mo-, TO the Maryville
Democrat, has the following to say:
II have met many East Tennessee>
ans here. Am at present sharing the
hospitality of Mr.. John F. French,
from Knox county, Tenn, who has
lived here since the war. He is q
brother to your fellow countrymen, J.
w. and Peter French. He is one of
toe best and most successful farmers
on 25mile prairie, and that is big
word. There are also number of the
Rules and lBrakebills, from Blount, IN
this county, all doing well. There is
a large emigration here this fall from
Tennessee and Kentucky. The water
here is good, but it is mostly well
water The citizens here seem to en-
joy the best of health, though the
wind on the prairie is very piercing.
This section is adapted principally to
corn and cattle raising. Very little
wheat raised here, for several reasons !:
lst, and the greatest reason, is, the
ground will not produce over 10
bushels per acre. %, 1t is 40 miles
from the nearest point to the railroad.
Sd, wheat causes small bug, called
the chintz bug, to destroy the neigh
boring corn crop. For these reasons
farmers raise corn and oats and put
them into stock and drive the stock
out.
IT left my fellow-traveler, Mr.. Boyd,
under the fatherly care and protection
Of Sam. Hammer, Chief City Marshal,
at Neosho, and hoping to meet him

The Devils Bibie.o

The biggest book in the world, known as
the Devils Bible" is to be found in the
royal library of Sweden, at Stockholm,
which it is said, contains altogether, over
TO- 0!volumes. Of this Bible, frequently
denominated Asses Book" because of
being written on asses skins. correspon-
dent recently visiting the royal library
says. II was shown the biggest book in the
world. the wonderful and gigantic Asses
Book" not so called for the same reason
that the Pons Asinorum gets its title. but
because it is written on 800 asses skin,
which look like thick heavy parchment,
while the binding is of oaken boards cover
ed with vellum, and the claps are great
masses of iron mongery. and its weight is
such that four men can scarcely carry it.
1t contains the Old and New Testaments,
the Apocherypha, and q sort of encyclop-
edia of then existing knowledge, and is
profuse in gliding and coloring, green
and red being the predominant colors. 1t
was found in convent in Pragus, when
the city was taken and sacked lby the
Swedes during the thirty years war, and is
commonly called the Devils Bible" The
story runs that monk condemned to death
for violation of his vows, obtained promise
