Several Austin gentlemen were
talking about polite men they had
met, when an old German named
Fritz said the politest man he ever
heard of was his uncle. ''What did
your uncle do?P asked Gilhooly
''Vell, you see, he vas in a sheep, and
dot sheep strike rock and go dot
vassar down. All de passengers vas

body present said Fritz's uncle was
very courteous and polite except GIL
hooley, who remarked in his usual
cynical manner: II don't think your
uncle was polite at all, Fritz. He
evidently had no manners. for he
should have waited until the other
passengers went down, instead oil
crowdlng down ahead of them, par
ticularly as there were ladies in the
crowd. He was a selfish brute

EAST TENNESSEE.
Commissioner Hawkins Reports Favora-

Commissioners Hawkins Reports Favora-
bly, ON the Crops of this Section.
Nashville Banner Dr. Hawkins, COM
missioner, has returned from an extensive
trip through the counties of Marion, Ham
ilton, James Bradley, Monroe, Loudon,
Knox, Jefferson, Hamblen, Greene, Ander-
son and Campbell, spending two weeks on
tour of inspection of these counties and to
arrange for farmers institute to be held
at Greeneville. He delivered two lectures,
one at Jacksboro and one at Greeneville,
meeting with general success as to the Or
ganization of the institute, arranging for
its meeting on the 18th of November. He
visited the coal mines of Careyville and
Coal Greek, and reports these mines as be-
ing theoretically worked, with large out
puts of coal.
The corn crops throughout East Tennes-
see, said he, are good.
Potatoes in that section are excellent, and
stock, especially cattle, are in fine condi-
ton. The Commissioner says the farmers
of East Tennessee are turning their atten-
ton largely to the cultivation of grass and
clover, though damaged to some extent by
an excess of rain which has materially
interfered with the cultivation of the lands.
He reported large crop of hay having
been saved, though great deal has been
lost by the wet weather.
The Commissioner was particularly en-
thusiastic in regard to the beauty of the val
ley of East Tennessee, as seen from points
of view on the Cumberland Mountains near
Jonesboro in Campbell County, and from
the Bald Mountains in Greene and Unlcol
Counties.
