We learn that the work of peeling
tan bark is being pushed by the enter
getic firm Of Horton Yocum & Co,
with a vim. Fifty men are on the
Buffalo mountains, forty or fifty at
Bays mountain snd one hundred rnd
thirty at Vances Tank, Sullivan Co.
Esq. Mat Carr is bossing at Vances,

whooping them up on the Buffalo.
What is more pleasant than to sit
in your Office on Il beautiful May day,
and look out on the green fields and
blue mountains and listen to the songs
of birds and the sweet voice of your
devil caroling for copy, How grace
fully your fingers hold the pencil and
wait for you to think up some startling
intelligence to convey to your aston
ished subscribers. Some beautiful
thought passes through your brain,
but is out and gone before you can
capture it and cage it in words, and
you sit and sigh, and wish you had
some salt to put on that thoughts
tail. Your enraptufed soul, spreads
its pinions and flutters and scars and
swoops after that beautiful thought
till the mortal casket wearies OF wait
ing for the souls return and sweetly
sleeps. When you wake, from your
dreams, how like the music of flute
is the voice OF your foremen when he
tells you softly, he has found some
good clippings"

pennyroyal to drive the feas away

she can run across the street and Nc,
Miss Mollic little while. She gcner
