the line from quarry to quarry and
20 dicker" with the sellers for low
prices. In self defense, and for the
purpose of raising a large amount
of capital to operate upon, the own
ers of these quarries should by all
means form a corporation, secure a
charter, pool their capital and 60 to
work in business like way That
twenty miles of marble is worth
twenty millions of dollars, and if
the vein was properly developed and
worked it would pay more than ten
per cent. interest on that amount of
money.
We merely mention these things
to put the people to thinking. Quar-
rying marble is a heavy business
and requires large outlay of mon
ey; but few, if any of those engag-
ed in the business here, have the ne
cessary means to work to a profit.
If they would all go together they
would have, or could Immediately
obtain, all the capital required. If
they don't do this, most of them will
fail, the marble industry will de-
cline and the country suffer. Some
body is going TO work these quar-
ries. The rich people in the cities
all over the civilized world are de-
handing the beautiful articles of
furniture manufactured of the now
famous Hawkins county marble. "
If our own home people do not go
at the business right, so that they
can succeed, why then men with en-
ergy and prudence from other places
will come in, take their places and
gather golden fortunes. We want
our home people to get the benefit
of the blessing Providence has plac-
ed in the bosom of our good old cOun-
ty. That is all.

ROGERS VILE AND JEFFERSON
RAILROAD.

TIN freight business over the
Rogersville and Jefferson railroad is
rapidly increasing. Week by week
and month by month, those who no
tice the road can see that the work
is growing. The depot buildings
are full of boxes, bags, bales, bar
rels and all the various kinds of
freight that are seen at the depots
of the trunk lines. All along the
route thousands and thousands Of
feet of valuable walnut, cherry and
other lumber may be seen packed
ready for shipment. Oak slaves by
the car load are constantly coming
to the depots, and every other bust
ness in which railroad men are in
terested is rapidly increasing. Maj.
Harry Akin was indeed fortunate
man in purchasing that road just
when he did. 1t is a fortune to him.
We do not know certainly what the
increase has been for the last twelve
months, but are confident it has not
been less than one thousand dollars,
net, per month, and for the coming
year it promises to be largely above
those figures. Well, some men seem
to know inst when and where to
strike to make money, and Harry
Akin seems to be one of the few.
Dame Fortune could not smile upon
a more deserving man. He has en-
ergy, pluck and liberality, and we
hope he will go on prospecting. His
road has been great blessing to the
people of this county. 1t has fur
nished them a cash market for all
the produce they could spare, and it
will continue to do 80. We couldn't
get along without the Rogersville
and Jefferson railroad now.

How to Catch Frogs.

The Washington star thus tells how
frogs are caught in the Potomac: The
manner Of catching them is to drift
about at night in a skiff among the
swamps which line the Potomac and it's
creeks with n bulps-eyc dark lantern.
When the frogs begin their loud, gut
teral conversation with each other, the
hunter edges up as near as possible to
his game and throws the intensely re-
ilected light from the bulrs-eye direct
ly upon the frog, which appears TO have
the effect of completely paralyzing him.
Once the light strikes them they are
immovable, and will suffer themselves
to be bagged without murmur. One
expert stated to star reporter that he
took dozen from off one old rotten log
in Hunting Creek, but big moccasin
snake struck out for him, and in getting
away he lost nine of them. The frogs
arc particularly plump this year, and
their saddles tender as SQUAD meat.

A Concert in India,

We were once misguided enough to
inquire of some native officials in India
what Instruments of music their town
possessed, and were waited upon next
day, in consequence, by all tho music
ians of the place. First came n group
of nine women who sang some wild and
plaintive strains in unison in minor
key; one of them kept time by
occasionally swapping her fingers, while
another performed q rude accompani-
ment on q small barrel-shaped drum,
the ends of which were covered with
goatskin. The head-dress of some of
these singers was peculiar, and consisted
of folds of calico over the head and
round the throat, rather like the drap-
cry of some orders of nuns, and similar
to that given by painters to st. Anna,
and other holy women of the Bible. The
grouping of these people, as they sat
close together on the ground, was ex-
tremely picturesque and listening to
the sad sweetness Of their strains, one
could easily imagine such to have been
the appearance and the melody of the
daughters of Jerusalem as they la
mented by the waters Of Babylon.
The singing ended, q man was seen to
rise in the background, lifting an cnor-
nous brazen trumpet nearly as long as
himself, on which he blew two most ter
rifle blasts, excruciating in English ears.
These sounds were prolonged, and
seemed to sink down through long
wailing discord 1nexpressibly painful to
listen to, but not unfrequently to be
heard in that district of the Punjab.
The effort of blowing the trumpet is
considerable, and we were glad to make
this an excuse for hearing no more of it,
and submitted with the best grace we
could to q performance of tom tom,
while two more men exercised their
lungs upon horrid little trumpets of II
smaller size. When these wero dis
missed we had kind of duet all on one
note from two men, one of whom beat
small drum open ut one end, like very
deep tambourine, while another played
upon something like q four-stringed
banjo. The lower part of this instru-
mont was made of a gourd, and two of
the strings were passed through blue
glass beads, while the other two were
raised by cowries of different sizes the
banjo was further adorned by the green.
and-gold label from some English cot
ton-reel or piece of calico, stuck on the

Perhaps this concert was an unusual
amount of native music for English pco-
pie to hear at once, but no one can Sc
long in India without meeting with
some of it.-TeH1Dte Bar.

Arctic Coal.

Th existence OF coal in the Arctic re-

consSute one of the most. remarkable
discferies in modern geology. This
coal cam, it appears, is fonnd in the

certified, devoid of fossils, though the
veg@tion presents no less than sixty
speeds of plants. The coal has bright,
shin appearance, is somewhat of a
pitcy character, and very brittle. Or
anaIsis, it cannot be distinguished from
