"1S THE rENNEssEE MOUNTAINS"

GIN THE TENNESSEE MOUNTAlNs.'
To write . story is . modern accom-
plishment possessed by so many that it
occasions little surprise But there are
stories and stories, and those written by
Charles Egbert Craddock are so much
better than the average G ,od story that no
surprise is felt at the announcement that
"In the Tennessee Mountain has reached
the ninth thousand.
The discovery Of the identity of Grad
dock, who turns out to be pretty, delicate
young lady, Miss Murfree, Of St. Louisa
circumstantial account Of which event has
appeared in our columns-is the literary
sensation OF the season.
Mr.. Aldrich says that he always imag-
ined Craddock to be a strapping six-ioot
Tennessesn; and, If the roof had fallen
in he would not have been more aston
ished than when on going into his Office
he saw . young lady who had called,
and who simply said II am Charles Egbert
Craddock."
If this literary star had risen in the
East, where the eyes Of the wise men are
gazing with prophetic vision, the surprise
would perhaps have been less unexpected
and more agreeable; but that woman,
young, delicate, living in the mountains Of
Tennessee, far removed from the influences
popularity supposed to make American
literature, should, from the slender oppor-
tunities Of her surroundings, achieve SO
great success, is indeed remarkable.
Miss Muriree has the true instinct Of
literary art. She has sought her materials
not among the sterile hills, the cold sky,
the metaphysics Of New England life and
faith, nor amongst the barbaric newness Of
the West, but in the Aowery, untrodden
paths Of the enchanted South"
| Miss Murfree is the more heartily vel
coined because just at this time keer
want is felt in our literature that her writ
ings supply. Our women authors, Miss
Phelps, Mrs. jackson, and others, mar the
artistic effect OF their works by beine
too anxious to point moral.
Since the gentle Howells strayed into the
stony path of realism, and Jsmes the. Gym
ical exsspersted his readers with his to,
frequent piquancies on fashionable feeling
and folly, there seemed to be no hant
strong enough to lift the commonplace O
this bright aud pathetic world" into idea
conditions.
Il This want was believed BY many to b.
|, remediless; for had not Howell (speakinl
} for a school said that the old-fsshione,
story was . thing Of the past and tina
Thsckery and Dickens were alread

But Miss Muriree, with the magic O
: genius, needs only The humble hsbitation
3 the dim, densely wooded heights OF tn
mountains, lighted by the mysteries O
sun, moon and legend, "The Settlemint,

TRAGIC DEATH OF Gus
HOOKER.

Gus Hooker, a poor demented
fellow. whose home is a few miles
north of Logan, met with a tragic
death on last Saturday morning.
The poor fellow was not vicious,
but often became very annoy-
ing. On the morning in CUES
ton, he went to the house OF
VIM. Delble, a near neigl'oor.-
Deible's stepson, a young man
named Joe Sherr. was eating his
breakfast, Gus auuo:ed him in
several ways and refused to leave
when ordered away. Finally he
spit in young sherr's plate. This
so provoked Sherr that he picked
up a stick of wood lying OH the
floor and struck his tormentor a
blow on the head, knocking him
down. Hooker was soon appa
rently revived and went home.
In a few hours afterwards he
died. The blow fractured the
skull and ruptured blood vessels
of the brain.
Young Sherr was arrested and
is now in Jail awaiting the action
of the Grand Jury.
He is said TO be a hard work
ing lad and we'll behaved. The
people who know the young man
are very sorry for the unforIu-
nate result of his indignation.

Judge Foraker i'm Logan.

Judge Foraker, Republican can
didate tor Governor, attended the
Republican Senatorial Convention
in Logan last Saturday: and made
speech.
The Judge is very pleasant gen.
tleman socially and man of fine
presence and address. A number
of Democrats called on him, and
were received very kindly and
courteously by the Judge.
His speech was very feeble et-
fort. It was a lehash of the old,
old story. The Democrats brought
on the war. The Republicans saw
ed the country. The Democrats
stole all the money. The Repub-
licans made prosperity. The DIM
ocrats ruined the country, and have
not sense enough to conduct affairs
now. These were about the points
he made.
HIS speech was not well received
by the Republicans here
who are trying to get the Demo-
Gratis to vote the Republican ticket.
His speech showed the hate and
venom Republicans have for Demo
and disclosed the poison concealed
under the taffy the ringsters have
spread, expecting to catch IA few
votes from the.thouehtless.
Judge Foraker will get his party
vote in Hooking, except RempeI's,
and that is all he will get, and all
he is entitled to.

purses if they ever are to be open
ed, paltry $37, ,0G0 only has been
collected And this in a city where
people build residences at a cost of
two or three million dollars and
pay 100000 for yacht. Is there
no patriotism or public spirit among
