Dred man visited tha farm of Mr. +.

shown the quarters OF the OLD cOl0T-
ed family and fastened there. No
sooner had he reached the house
than old Jesse recognized him as
his long lost child. The very hills
and hollows around the old cabin
were awakened with the shouts of
rejoicing. The lost was found and
the dead aiiye.-Le6onOn Register,
Nashville Banner: The Chatta-
nooga Commercial publishes list
of United States pensioners residing
in Hamilton county, on which is
the name of Julia Gardner Tyler,
widow of President Tyler, and
whose post-office address is Will
Jams Landing, Hamilton county.
Tenn. The Commercial says that
none of the citizens knew that this
distinguished lady resided in the
vicinity of Chattanooga. Mrs. Tyler
receives $416 66S per month, or
$1,000 a year, the same as received
by Mrs. Polk, of Nashville, and
Mrs. Garfield of Cleveland. Ohio.
1t will thus be seen that we have
residing in Tennessee the relics of
two United States presidents.
Union City Our Country: On Sat
urday evening the 18th uIt., on the
Weaver farm, near Harris Station,
in this county, lobe Bergman
struck H. III. Clark, his brother-in-
law, on the back of his head with
brick breaking in his skull, from
which wound Clark died few
hours later. The murder was COM
mitted just after sundownj Clark
was sitting ON load of wood when
Bergman came up behind him and
struck the fatal blow. Bergman
skipped out, but was followed and
captured. Bergman, we under
stand, claims that Clark had been
making remarks about his Berry
man's) wife.
American: If it were true that
the American price of an article is
the English price plus the duties,
such blankets ought to be selling
here at 50 80 per pair, but as mat
ter of fact American blankets of
precisely the same weight and
| quality are selling at s. 20 pair, or
but 75c higher than in England"
Tullahoma Guardian: In talk
with Mr.. w. Il. French, of our
town, who represents one of the lar
gest Wollen manufactures in the
South, he informs us that the Tulla-
homa WOllen Mills were selling
blanket of precisely the same weight
and quality at even a lower price
than the figures quoted above
that they could sell at $500 per pair
and could give discount to large
cash purchasers. This does not
look much like the tariff increased
the price of home manufactured
goods to the consumer in this coun-
try. We give this simply as an
illustration of the catch-vOte argu-
ments harped upon by office-seek-
ing politicians.

Gardner went extensively into the
turkey business last week. Mr..
Dryer was selling turkeys at zero
and they invested in choice lot st
% cents each. Turkey cholera,
is complication of hog cholera.
chicken cholera, Asiatic cholera
and cholera morbus, and the only
remedy is to freeze the turkey to
death before the cholera gets grip.
1t was nip and tuck between the
cholera and the freezing process,
and the matter could not be decided. |
In addition to the shining quarters |
that went jingling up the flume,
there was small invoice of drugs,
condiments, cOrdials, etc., admins |
tered at a total loss and no insurance.
They gobbled it all up and never
said turkey" Thus it is that what
was to be thanksgiving is turned
into mourning and the oil of glad
ness made into slippery gall to
grease the track of dependency
down which their spirits slide after
the fleeing quarters.
Union City Our Country: On last
Monday afternoon Miss Anna Cor
ding, a beautiful, intelligent looking
girl, sixteen years of age, was found
suspended by the neck from pole
in a tobacco barn, on Mr.. d. III.
Whipple's farm some five mile
West of Union City, She was dead
when found but the body was still
warm, and all indications went to
show that she had been dead only
few minutes, when cut down. This
young girl was an orphan, the
adopted daughter of an old lady
whose name she bore, who had
raised her from infancy; they came
to Mr.. Whipple's TO live only few
weeks since, and had been keeping
house for him. 1t is hardly neces-
sary for us to tell the cause which
led to this young girls I'M
timely death. A williams treachery
aud woman's trust tells the tale.
She died by her own hands, deliber-
ately rather than live and bear the
shame and reproaches of the world
brought upon her by her cowardly
,educer. Her condition showed !
hat she would have in the course i
IF few months, become mother. c
