Secret Societies at the Vanderbilt.
Nashville. World,
Upon last w eddesday morning
it was formally announced in the
assembly hall of the Vanderbilt
University that the board of trust
and faculty had at last decided to
withdraw all opposition to the es-
Establishment of secret f~raternities
among the students of the institu-
ton, and that for The future they
would be allowed TO exist here
upon the same conditions as they
have for ages existed i'll other in
stitutions of learning all over the
civilized world.
This institution has made a
thorough test of the ACCESSIBILITY of
forbidding these organizations,
and has by its final decision de-
elared such opposition detrimen-
tai to the progress of q university
and a task by no means easily &C
complished. Although the law
forbidding the operation of such
fraternities among the students
has been in existence since the
foundation Of the institution, it
has for the past few years been
virtually a dead letter,

Newport as a Lumber Market.

southern Lumberman.
Newport, a small town in Cooke
county, in the eastern part of this
state, has within a few months past
become quite a lumber point. 1t is
situated onthe railroad running from
Morristown, Tenn, to AsheyiIle, N.
o., in the midst Of a finely timbered
section. During the past eighteen
months, according to the Sentinel,
an enterprising newspaper published
there, Capt. d. Williams has ship
ped from Newport to Philadelphia
and other Eastern points the follow
ing quantities and kinds of lumber
and timber. Black walnut, $4,000
feet; white oak, 10000; white ash,
5000; yellow poplar, 5Oe,357; red
gum, $50; chestnut (sample), 102;
white hickory (sample), 2O3; curly
poplar 1000; curly walnut, 100;
walnut logs, $4,000. During the
same time there was sold at New
port, to supply the demand. 10000
feet Of poplar, pine and walnut
lumber. The amount CT lumber
now on hand at mill yards near the
town, consisting Of poplar, ash, oak
and walnut, is coo 1000 feet, and on
the yard. at Newport 100000. The
stock Of logs at the mill on Indian
creek, near by, amounts to 100000
feet. Besides the above, there has
been purchased for early cutting, on
English Mountain, in the vicinity,
$40 poplar, ash aud oak trees, which
will average 1000 feet to the tree,
or a total of 100000 feet. These
operations are only the beginning
.ofiwhat will certainly prove an ex-
tensive lumber trade at Newport and
other points in that region.

A Sharper's Soft Snap.

Fayetteville observer.
Last Wednesday, Mr.. John Lind
say of Cold Water, one of the most
highly esteemed citizens of Lincoln
county. and 80 years of age, was in
town to see the circus and fell into
the hands of a sharper who workek
him to his hearts content. 1t is a
case of credulity on one side and
shrewdness and dishonesty on the
other. The manner in which the
game was worked is reported to us
to be thus wise: Mr.. Lindsay. after
the street parade, went to the place
where the-tents had been erected.
and being under a small canvas a
man approached him and asked for
change for a 500 bill. He said that
ne didn't a have that much money
with him. but in answer to a ques>
ton acknowledged that he had as
much as $500 IN bank. The shows
man then told him that as a large
crowd were in town, money OF smeIl
denomination would be greatly need
ed by them, and exhibiting three
500 bills he told Mr.. Lindsay that
if he would go to the bank, get $3.50
in small bills and bring it to him at
the place they were then he
would give him the three bills
thus paying him $40 for the trouble
Tor inconvenience ID might occasion
him. Glad hat Independently had
presented itself for him to make
such a sum with SO little ~exertion on
his part, the unsuspecting fly walked
into the subtle web of the
show spider, the old gentleman
went to the bank, secured the
amount asked for and returned to
the grounds. The Snowman counted
it and stuffing the whole amount
e his pocket, placed a pistol to BIZ.
Lindsay's head ard told him If he
said & word or if he saw him on the
grounds in two minutes, he would
Kill him. The old man was very
much frightened and getting on his
horse, lett for home Immediately
and said nothing about it until Sat
urday.

which he did, and the ball rebound
ed burying itself out of sight in his
neck. d.. Travis was called in and
extracted the ball, which was mashed
perfectly fat. It's not an npcom-
