THE POWER OF LlTTLES.

A distinguished southern Doc
tor of Divinity once wrote a strong
essay on The Creative Power OF
Littles.' The poet.speaks Of
Little drops Of water, little grains Of sand.
Make the mighty ocean and the oeauseous
land"
The river is the aggregation OF
small streams, and the Golfers OF
the millionaire are filed with the
aggregation of cents. One dollar
saved every week in FIVE years
grows to $3.50, and in 80 years to
sl,56O. This may be done without
seriously feeling its effect, as is ftly
illustrated by the miller who
agreed to support the pastor OF a
church when the members com
planned of their inability to pay
him. The miller simply took toll
out of every grist for the minister
as well as for himself, and the peo-
pie never felt any inconvenience.
Take toll for your old age even II
your earnings are small and the
little savings OF the present WILL IN
the future, swell into 8 princely
sum. TIE little industries make
up the general wealth; the little
leaks and little expenses are the
sources Of general poverty. Among
the leaks in southern farm life, we
note
BAD ROADS.
The experience of every farmer
will attest the fact that our roads
are always in bad order, inaietlRg
double duty on tSaa horses to pull
the load, and fang the wagon
often to go To- tne shop for repairs.
This jss heavy tax and a big
laeaak
BAD FENCES.
REQUIRED to fence in his crops to
fence out his neighbor's stock, bad
fences are the source Of constant
annoyance to him, and serious loss.
If he keeps up good fence even
then the tax is heavy upon him.
BAD DRAINAGE
Many farms are unproductive
because they are net properly
drained, but the greatest leak is
when the farmer, by a want OF
thorough cultivation, drains the
soil of it's fertility and gives moth
ing back to it. The soil and the
farmer grow poorer and poorer
every year.
COSTLY FORAGE.
Another great leak is feeding
stock on the costliest forage, which
increases the cost of producing
other crops.
UNcARED FOR STOCK.
A serious leak is the want OF care
for stock.
These are q few of the little
leaks that, if stopped, will add to
the prosperity and pleasure Of the
farmer.

ALOOK AHEAD.

The European dispatches of yesterday
and Tuesday indicate that tho Sultan
has finally made up his mind to accept
the alliance Of Russia and defend, OF
attempt TO defend, his African depen-
dency against what has at last taken de-
finitive shape of an English invasion.
This fact, boding as il necessarily does,
rupture between Russia and England,
invests the European complications not
only with a sentimental but a material
interest TO Americans. An Anglo
Russia war means among other things
complete monopoly Of the business of
supplying Western Europe with bread
stuff while it lass, and for at least
year after return of peace. 1t is not
easy TO ver-estimate the significance of
such fact to the people of the United
States in dollars and cents upon the
basis Of our wheat and corn crops alone,
to say nothing of the lesser staples of
hemp, tobacco, leather, ETC., in which
Russia Is our most formidable COMPETE
tor. With these facts before you, it is
necessary to sell your produce in order
TO buy or allow yourselves to be per-
suaded in buying winter clothing in
warm weather. Wait for George c.
Williams, the one price clothier. who
will open in ample time with a stock
that will not be surpassed in any re-
spect. Look out for notice of the open
ing, which will be given hereafter.

DEATH OF DIR. WIZ r. SEWER.

DEATH OF DIR. RH. Y. SEWER.
Knoxville Chronicle, Gath 1t is with
real sadness that we chronicle this
morning the death of DR.. VIM. r. Sc
vier, of Jonesboro, who, at 9 o'clock on
last Tuesday evening, after an illness OF
only two days, quietly and peacefully
passed away into the land of the I'M
known. DIR. Sewer was born In Greene
county, and at the time of his death was
in the ffty-ninth year of his age.
Shortly after his graduation as a medi-
cal student he located at Jonesboro,
where he soon succeeded in establishing
a large and lucrative practice. During
the war he resided at Cincinnati, and
even there, in very short time, won
for himself an enviable reputation both
as a physician and as a man. He was
well and favorably known throughout
East Tennessee, and was one among the
most eminent physicians in our State.
He was genial, kindhearted and gener-
Gus to a fault, the favorite alike of child
hood and of age. The sudden and I'M
timely death of so good a man will be
universally regretted. To his devoted
wife and affectiOnate children we tender
our warmest sympathy.

No drawing will take place, because
there is nothing to draw and il there

ratified of, was mOrtgaged to parties in
New York, who foreclosing, had the
property sold list week and it now be-
longs to other than Whips. The latter
bought it in but was unable to give
bond, and it was put up and sold again,
and bid off by the New York parties.

fraud that the proceeds of the sale of
tickets were all expended in advertising

y terrible tragedy occurred at Knox
vile last Saturday. Our readers are
familiar with the killing of young viii.
Mabry by Don. c. Lusby in that place
last Christmas Eve, and of the trial and
release on bail of Lusby. Since his re-
lease a feud between the Lusbys and
Mabrys has been anticipated and Satur-
day that expectation was realized. Don.
Lusby, accompanied by his father, was
parading the streets Saturday threaten
ing the life of Gen. Jos A. Mabry, IA,
Their of Will. Mabry, and Jos. Mabry,
Jr., brother Of the murdered boy.
Wishing to evade difficulty the Ma
brYs had Don. Lusby arrested and taken
to the Recorders office for trial. He
was followed by his father and q crowd
of friends, who helped him resist the
Chief of Police in his arrest. Both Ma
brys were summoned as witnesses, and
after all had arrived at the Recorders
office some one suggested that Don.
Lusby be disarmed. Chief Harper at
tempted to take his weapons from him,
and he resisted. His father came to his
rescue and both father and son drew
pistols. They advanced towards the
Alabrys, and as quick as the lightnlng's
flash both Don. and Moses Lusby were
shot through by balls from Joseph A.
habry, senior and junior. Old man
Lusby dropped dead without a groan.
Don, at late hour Saturday night, was
still lingering, but his recovery is con-
sidered impossible. AT a preliminary
trial just after the shooting both Mabrys
were held over to the court in bond of
$4,000. Public sentiment justifies the
Mabrys in their actions.
