in the 18th district, Wednesday, at
the foot of the Chilhowee mount
aims. John Davis and sons were
in the field and tracked him to a
little recess under a bunch of hugh
roots. William Barb soon riddled
him with bullets. The question is,
what was he doing so far from
home.
The snow left with great despatch
Sunday. The piles of snow along
the business part of town impeded
the Cow of water in the cutters and
the sidewalk was soon overlooked.
The water rose within few inches
of Blackburn Ross door and but for
the timely interference of Dave
Hannum, his store room would
have been flooded.
Those persons who promised us
500 new subscribers inside of two
months if we would establish the
price of the TINES ut 500, cash,

subscriber. Not ness than 500 men
wanted to take our paper at $l.OO.
Please examine our subscription
books and find one of the 500.
