AN unfortunate stranger got
drunk in a saloon in this place last
Friday and while laying out in
front OF the rum shop was picked
up By a policeman and carried To-
the calaboose. The next day he
was fined. we have nothing to say
about the justice OF the punishment,
but the saloon Keeper Is the party
who deserves public censure. Ig-
noring as best we may the moral
idea in regard to trafficing in liquor,
the saloon keeper might at least
have Shielded his victim while in O.
maudlin state. IL he didn't want
the drunken man in his house he
could easily have put him out of
sight in the back yard until he
became sober. When we rebuked
the rum seller for getting the man
drunk and then leaving him to his
fate, when it would have been very
easy to have put him out of sight
until sober, he looked at us incred-
ulonsly, laughed, and said, "Oh,
pshaw, it's none o. my business il

to its name, whether from the rash
act.of some dusky maid of the for

scenes have been enacted there in
the misty realms Of the past, is
beyond dispute, il the fieshless
bones and parts OF human skeletons
that have survived the ravages Of

On ledge along this bluff at a
point above high water mark and
nearly two hundred feet below the

Some forty years ago, when Mr..
George w. Sampson, of Snow Creek,
was little boy, in company with
an uncle they found the skull of a
human being under a large rock
that leaned against the bluff, a boul-
der that had dropped from the
heights above. Last week Mr..
Sampson, who is now a man adj
vanced in years, with his son, Rob-
ert L., went To the Caney Fork to
fish. The place selected was a

after putting out their lines, the

century from his bOyhood exploit

they commenced the search, which
was rewarded, the father and son
finding two skulls, legs, arms and
rib bones of human skeletons.
These were found more than 100

Weighing many tons, that had pro-
tected them from rain. They also

THERE are few articles of farm
produce which are so easily affected
as eggs by damp, foul atmosphere,
and the extreme of heat and cold.
The shell of an egg is exceedingly
porous, and when the place of stor-
age is too warm and dry the albu-
men evaporates, and when too cold
and damp the egg seems to lose its
vitality and rapidly becomes stale.
The porous shell admits of absorb
ton, and single rotten egg,1the
shell of which happens to be broken
or cracked, will contaminate whole
dozens of eggs in the same package.
