The Knoxville Tribune SAYS flat

The Knoxville Tribune says that
until the present round of Chancery
Courts in this district, it is not
within the memory of the Oldest
inhabitant that they were ever held
by a Democratic Chancellor. Pre-
vious to 1852 the Chancery Courts
throughout East Tenn. were held
by Chancellor Williams, an olden
time Whig of lofty character and
courtly dignity-the beau ideal OF a
Chancellor. He was succeeded by
another Wing, Chancellor Lucky,
who held the Chancery Court in all
East Tenn. for a short period; and
after the organization of the present
Chancery districts remained Cham
cellor of the First district until his
death in 1868. He was remarkable
for quickness of perception, and
dispatched business with CELEBRITY
From 1868 to 1885 Chancellor
Smith, a Republican, held the Office.

The April report of the Bureau of
Agriculture just published says the
wheat land in East Tennessee is being
extensively plowed up and replanted IN
corn and oats. OF Washington County
the report says: Wheat sown late and
broadcast frozen out, and it looks thin
and small; thousands of acres will not
produce a bushel to the acre; since the
weather turned warm 1t has improved a
little. Winter oats nearly all killed by
freezing. Large acreage planted in corr

grasses are growing well. Stock IS in

The Temperance Movement.

Capt. J. II. Hoofstitler, who is
laboring in East Tennessee under
the auspices of the W. G. T. u, in
behalf Of the proposed Prohibitory
amendment to the state constitution,
opened the temperance campaign
in J~onesboro Tuesday evening with
a lecture in the new Presbyterian
Church. Capt. H%oofstitler is a good
speaker, having a clear, ringing
voice and great dramatic power. He
moves with an easy grace from the
pathetic to the humorous phase of
the subject in hand, and is thor
oughly versed in the all ,absorbing
question of temperance. His man.
ner is pleasant and attractive /; after
a few minutes talk he has an audi>
ence in entire sympathy with him.
The lecture on Tuesday evening
was the first of a series of ten Capt.
Hoofstitler is engaged to deliver in
Jonesboro. Friday afternoon there
will be a meeting of ladies only for
the purpose of organizing a Women's
Christian Temperance Union, and
on Saturday afternoon a meeting will
be held for colored people. The
lectures are free.

AFTER -TWENTY-THREE YEARS.
Remarkable Meeting of Two Old
Soldiers.

Only afew weeks ago il was telegraph
cd over the country that Bill Arp, the
noted Georgia humorist, had received
from Pennsylvania an autograph album
that had been taken from his wife's Cthen
his sweetheart) house more than twenty
years ago. Last week a much more re-
markable incidenthappenedin Jonesboro.
On Wednesday Mr.. John S. Robson of
Virginia, and formerly a member of the
sd regiment Of that State in the Confeds
crate service, came here to canvass for
the sale of a book he is publishing, Civ.
ing incidents of the camp and march as
he saw them. Mr.. Robson has but one
leg, having contributed the other to his
side of the game in n of the engage>
ments in 1854. In the course of the day
lie met Mr.. j. G. Locke, a citizen of
Jonesboro. As soon as Mr.. Locke, obs
served the missing leg he remarked to
MIR. Robson that he (Locke) had also lost
a leg in the war, mentioning the engage.
ment, the second battle of Bull Run,
August 20, 1862. Mr.. Locke then began
to tell Of the kind treatment he had re,
ceived that day from a young rebel man,
ed Robson, why" exclaimed Mr.. Rob-
son, 81 am the young rebel that took care
of you that day!" And sure enough he
was. A comparison of incidents estab-
lished the fact beyond o doubt. Mr..
Locke was a member OF Co. E, Tooth
Pennsylvania (Rourdhead) Regiment.
In the second engagement at Bull Run he
was badly wounded in the leg just as his
command was forced to fail back. While
stretched o IN the field in the agonies OF a
wound that was to cost him his leg, he
was approached by a boyish looking rebel
who asked him if he would not like to
be moved to a more comfortable place,
at the same time offering to have his
wounds dressed by his officer, Captain
Ayrhart, who had some knowledge of
surgery. The offer was gladly accepted
and the removal and dressing of the
wound at once took place. The young
rebel advised Locke that if he had any
thing in his knapsack which he cared to
preserve he had better put it in his blouse
pocket. This he did, presenting his
rebel savior with a razor from a shaving
outfit he carried. When the wounde ed
Federal was comfortably fixed the two
soldiers parted, each writing down the
others name. The rebel was Mr.. John
S. Robson. The two men never met or
heard of each other from that day until
Wednesday of last week, though they
had often thought OF one another. OF
course the meeting was a happy one, for
1t was the renewal of an undying friend
ship formed in the midst of wars car
mage. No doubt during the rebellion
there occurred many incidents similar to
the nobility exhibited by the Virginian
to the Pennsylvania, but 1t Is rare the
actors meet as our two soldiers did after
so many years have INTERVIEWED.

home on avisit. Mr.. Marshall and a cousin,
L. b. Clough, left here eight years ago last

very ardent democrat when he left here,
having been the candidate of that party for

prominent members of the party in town
but, on reaching Washington Territory he
found his party in such hands that he was
ashamed to be in such company, and so
identified himself with the republicans, and
has since then worked and voted with them.
