surgical aid was sought, bandage put

WEARY OF LIFE,


Or, More Properly, of work.
John Lyons, convict from. J ohnson
county, a white man, who was taken
to Coal Creek, about three weeks since
to serve out q term of eighteen months
| for larceny, seems to be rather averse
to complying with the customs and
regulations OF Capt. John Chumbley's
quarters. The chief trouble with him
seems to be a natural disposition to
shirk work. He has tried several ex'
periments aud each time grows
more desperate. About Thursday
of last week he stuck q
coal pick through his foot, thinking
that would disable him, for time, at
least. He didn't make the wound
quite severe enough, however, 30
Capt Chumbley had him to go to work
again.
Sunday night he thought he would
make certain work OF ii, and borrow
ing q razor with which to shave him
self, be proceeded to carve himself
rather skitlfully about the throat there,
with, after having slowed himself
away in bis bunk. Nothing was
known OF the matter till an attempt
was made to wake the fellow
yesterday morning, when Re was
found In something OF an unconscious
state, with an ugly cash in his neck,
into which mans finger could very
readily be lain, and the razor had
barely grazed the jugular vein, making
1t very narrow escape for him. He
had suffered much, no doubt, through
the night, but the. prison physician
was called in. the cash sewed up and
remedies administered. He certainly
succeeded, to certain extent, In beat
ing the prison keepers at this lick, and
will have to lay up for some days, at
least.

Reduction.

Chattanooga Commercial, Sunday :
Yesterday the Roane Iron company
notified their puddlers that after the
23rd inst. they would only pay S. per
ton. About the 18th of February
last the puddlers were receiving
$3.50 per ton and struck for $3.50.
The strike continued about
six weeks and the puddlers
resumed work at 5000, aud now they
are notified that they will only receive
$500. We are not informed whether
this reduction will result In strike or
not, and as iron Is on the decline the
Company no doubt think it Is all they
can pay and operate their mill

Interesting Sermons by Reys. G.
&. Rankin and Il. Il. Sturgis.


Church Street M. E. Church, South,
was filled with very large and inter-
ested congregation Sunday morning to
hear the sermon of the pastor, Rev. G.
c. Rankin, on the subject of last
weeks tragedy, the suicide at the La
mar House, as had been announced.
His text was taken from Galatians,
vi, 7,S:
"Be not deceived; God is not
Knocked; for whatsoever man soweth,
that shall he also reap.
For he that soweth to the flesh
shall of the flesh reap corruption; but
he that eoweth to the Spirit shall of
of the Spirit reap life everlasting"
The preacher cited the tragedy at tue
Lamar House Thursday night. as
sliking and startling illustration Of
the truths enunciated in the text, and
verifieation of the great truth that
like produces like, and cause is abso-
lutely certain to follow effect. He
drew some wholesome and timely les
sons from the subject, which were
given to his hearers in plain, forcible
and unmistakable language, and If re-
ceiyed in the right spirit they are CAL
culated to do world of good. The ser
mon was indeed an able effort ,evincing
thorough and Intelligent research and
preparation, and rejecting great credit
upon the pulpit powers, as we'll as the
zeal and devotedness OF the minister.
1t was generally regarded as the best
! effort of Mr.. Rsnkin's acceptable
ministry in Knoxville.
srcnNn PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.
Rev. +. E. 5turgis, the able and
eloquent pastor OF the Second Presby.
terrain church, delivered an interesting
and highly profitable. address, Sunday
night, in his church, which was filled
with an unusually large congregation.
His subject was, THE true method OF
suppretsing the sale and denominations
OF the lIqaor traffic, or prohibition
versus license" The speaker referred,
at much length, TO the workings of
the prohibitory law in Maine, his
native state, and portrayed, in forcible
and resistiess terms, the many advan-
tabes to be attained thereby. He ia
enthusiastic in his admiration Of such
a law, ami earnestly recommends it's
adoption in this part Of the country.

Natural A Advantages.

A neat, clean piece Of sarcasm is Il
very enjoyable dish, now and again.
The following we clip from the
Beatrice Express as little "take off,
for those towns that rely, much or
more, on their "natural advantages"
for their present and future welfare.
We may say that the paragraph is
applicable to more burgs than one :
"The Beatrice water-power contin-
ues to be a great blessing lin dis
guise), aud at the present rate of
progress in establishing manulacto-
ries through its aid it will not be
more than four or five hundred years
until Beatrice will be quite manu-
featuring town. 1t is fully up TO
Caldwell i'm that respect now, and
we have much to hope for the future.
Crete also aspires to be a manufac-
turing town, aud Bridges 4 Johnson,
who control the water-power there,
offer a free use of all surplus power
for five years TO any person who
will erect a ten thousand dollar
paper or wooden mill. It is not TO
be expected, however, that Crete or
any other town can ever "hold a
candle" to Beatrice i'm the matter OF
manufacturing establishments, for
we have all the natural advantages"
you know, and what town can ever
amount to anything without them ?
We suggest that the Citizens Asso-
citation disbsnd and leave the whole
matter in the hands Of providence.
