How Sallie Secured the Little Black
Girl. s-.

One day grandma said to Sallie:
.Dinah's little girl is here. Can't you
show her your do1ls?'' "'-~
Sallie was glad to have little girl to
play with ''4s ~ -
Pretty soon she came back and said:
-"Why, grandma, she's black!'' So
"Well.' said grandma, ''she's a
good little girl"
g But Tn afraid of her." said Sallie,
''she's so black
"But Dinah's black" -.
'Dinah's grown-up woman" said
Sallie. II didn't know that little girls
were black .s.l
'.She is as we'll behaved as if she were
white,' said grandma, ''and you can
have a nice time playing" ,..s-.
So the two children went to Sallie's
room, where the dolls were.
s'My names Sallie; what's yours?"
asked the white girl.
Marionette,'' said the little black
girl.
Then they began to play house; but
Sallie suddenly said:~ "What makes YOU
black?" i.
II don't know said Marionette.
won't it come OFF If you wash it?''
"No," said Marionette.
"Dil you ever try soap and sand?"
asked Sallie. -zs..-
No. said Marionette.
''Then let's try.'' added Sallie. She
brought basin of water and some soap
and sand and began to rub Marionette's 8
hand.
Il guess TIL try your face" she said
after while.
Marionette was little afraid in the
strange house, and had not dared to cry,
but now the soap got into her eyes and
the sand into her mouth, and she began
to scream with all her might. lat.
"What are those children doing?'
said grandma to Dinah; and they both
ran upstairs.
There was Marionette crying as loud
as she could cry; and there was Sallie
looking as frightened as Marionette. for
she had not meant to hurt her. She
held the basin in one hand, and the
water was running over the i,oor. The
sand was pouring over the edge of the
table, and the kitten was PLAYING with
the soap. Grandma told Sallie that
Marionette' skin was made black; she
could not make it white any more than
she could make her own black.
Sallie often lau his about securing the
little black girl; for this is true story,
and Sallie is now a grown up woman. =

Death of Edgar Kelly

Mr.. S. Edgar Kelly, young man about
% or "a years of age, agent of the E. T.,
Va. & Ca Railroad depot at Athens, died Of
consumption, at the home Of his uncle,
Geo. NJ Mcknight, depot agent at Sweet
water, Sunday morning, May 2sth, after q
lingering illness. Edgar was young man
of exceptionally good character, gentle in
manner, pleasing in address, of fine bust
ness attainments for one of his years, and
was universally liked and esteemed by all
with whom he came in contact
He was reared and trained for business by
his uncle, w. L. Mcknight, Esq, of Charles
ton and he inquired for him frequently
when cold, icy death was fast closing in
upon him. As good fortune would have it
his uncle reached him in time to be recog-
nized and to witness the passage of his
spirit to the eternal world.
Edgar's first start in business was with
his uncle, W. L., in the depot at Charles
tom He afterwards obtained and filled with
great acceptability and satisfaction the
position of telegraph operator and after
wards train dispatcher in the office of the
E. T., Va. & Ga. Railroad, at this place.
He was further promoted and given in
charge of the depot, telegraph and express
offices at Athens, in which place he also
gave entire satisfaction, and in which he
continued until that dread disease laid fast
hold upon him gradually. The bereaved
mother, family and intimate friends have the
heartfelt sympathies of host of friends of
the deceased in Knoxville and other points
along the railroad, where Edgar was SO well
and favorably known.

An Impostor---Who is Hee

A letter from Capt. William Allen, clerk
of the Circuit County, dated Jacksboro,
May 2sth, 1882, and addressed to the firm
of R. Vestal & Co., clothiers of this city,
says:
"a young man representing himself as
James Burnett, drummer for your cloth
ing house, is in Jail here on a charge of
carrying pistol He was arrested at Well
Springs. His samples consisted of two
suits of clothes. He was riding a grey
horse. He says he shipped his horse from
Knoxville to Abingdon, Va, then rode him
around through Jonesville and down the
the valley. He says his father lived in
Knoxville and gave him this horse before
his death. He has in his possession the
following letters: A letter from A. Gatliff,
Whitley G. H. KY, to VIM. Bowman,
Jonesville, Va, concerning a mail route,
dated July 9Th, 1881; letter dated at
Kismet, Tenn, August, 1881, written by
Morgan S. Graham to Alex. Bowman,
Jonesville, Va, and some other letters
which apparently do not belong to him.
Some of our folks are of opinion that the
horse and clothes are stolen property, and
these letters were with the clothes"
Nothing is known of any such man by
Messrs. Vestal & Co., nor, in fact, by any
one else about Knoxville, as far as We are
able to learn. By request of Captain AL
len, we are permitted to give this informa-
ton to our readers, as it may be of value
to the parties interested.

Between and o'clock Sunday afternoon
he went to the drug store for some medi-
cine, and walked leisurely back towards his
home. When he had gotten near his home,
he stopped in the street and leaned on the
garden fence, as those who noticed him
thought simply looking over in his garden.
Pretty soon, however, Mr.. Anderson called
to some one, and Mr.. Roper went to his as
sistance, and on taking hold of him, he
sank down Immediately in Mr.. Roper's
arms, and died in few minutes
MIR. Anderson was the second son of the
late Judge r. j. Anderson, and was about

suicide of an Old Man.

We have information of the suicide, by
shooting himself, about noon last Friday, al
Careyville, of George Donaldson; an old
Scotchman, about 70 years of age. The par
ticulars are about as follows: The old
man was living in a house all alone.
He had settled all his accounts, and was pack
ing up his goods to move to Knoxville He
ate dinner with Capt. E. s. Hollingsworth,
and wen. to his room. Shortly after eating
dinner the report of gun was ueard, and
on examination it was found that Donaldson
had locked himself up, nailed up the win
dows, drew up four buckets of water and
set them in circle around him, loaded his
double barred shot gun, took off the sho e
and sock from one foot, put the muzzle of
the gun in his mouth and pulled the trigger
with his toe. He was found lying across
a box with the whole top and front of his
head blown off.
Domestic trouble is thought to be the
cause of the suicide. An inquest was held
by Col. de Tavernier, justice of the peace,
and verdict was rendered in accordance
with the above facts. The remains were
buried yesterday morning near Careyville.
