Old Mother Earth Gives Her Children .
Lively Shaking Tuesday Night.

Old Mother Earth Gives Her Chliursn =
Lively Shaking Tuesday Night
About nine O'Clock Tuesday night the
quietude Of our old town was disturbed
and quite an excitement followed the
passage of what proved to be an earth
quake Of moderately scary dimensions.
The representative Of the HERALD AND
TRIBUNE, sitting in the reading room at
the Planters House at the time of the
quake. had the following experience
which is in general similar to that OF all
with whom he has conversed:
He first noticed a shaking Of the house
as If some one was walking in the rooms
above. This impression was heightened
by what must have been a slight irregu-
larity of the first vibrations. Directly
the vibrations shook the building some
what like the jar occasioned by a train
passing through the town sometimes does.
After the first tremor the oscillations be-
came more regular, and stronger, and a
wave like motion was distinctly percepti-
BILE seemingly travelling westward. This
marked the occurrence as an earthquake
in the reporters mind. The vibrations
lasted about q minute, and during their
continuance the windows in the houses
ratified as If a gale were blowing, The
impression as If some one walking in a
room over head, was quite general with
those in the house. The next impression
that seemed to prevail with these was
that there was a frolic next door. On
Rocky Hill the excitement was intense,
men, women and children ran out doors
screaming and badly frightened. In one
case the inmates of a house insisted thai
there was q fire in the loft and prevailed
ON q colored man to break open a door
to see. In the west end Of town a young
married man thought that buglars wert
trying to get in the window, and hi
blazed.away with a gun, through curtain
window and blinds. Another maj
thought he was about to receive a specia
visitation Of a spiritual nature. Nodam
age to buildings has as yet been reported
The shock was felt all along the rail
road from Bristol to Knoxville, so ia
as heard from at the present writing, Blu
it is probable that it extended over a wild
section of country. At Knoxville PEG
pie were as badly scared as here AM
damage was done to property. Severe
brick walls were cracked from top to bot
tom ,sand at the Atkin House the plat
glass in the front door was broken. Their
were three distinct shocks there, while {
Jonesboro only one continuous shoe
, was noticed.

The New Orleans Times Democrat con-
dennis in the strongest terms the outrages
upon Woodworking negroes recently
committed by gangs of white rufins in
Mississippi. While Its censure is only
just, 1t Is the more noticeable coming
from a Democratic paper. The position
the Times. Democrat has taken on these
matters Of late has been the Of
much encouragement. It's structures on
the Clrrolton massacre were us severe as
those Of any Northern paper, and 1t did
more than any other Southern paper to
place the facts fairly and fully before the
public and TO voice the profound feeling
Of indignation which the outrage excited.
There must be a growing public scnti.
ment In the South opposed to such violent
deeds. or representative papers like the
Times Democrat would not take so de.
cided an attitude against them.-Phtta'

COUNTY NEWS.
CHERRY GROVE.

Aue. 30.-Your correspondent made a
flying trip to Milburnton, Greene county.
August 25th. Among the many improve
ments since our last visit to that place we
will mention the fine new residence Of
Mr.. Thomas Brumley.
Tolbert Martin of P~ettibone, has made
some marked improvements on his farm,
by new fencing.
Quite an improvement has been made
on the Blakely creek road which speaks
well for the overseer of said road.
Mr.. Lewis Cooper is now having work
done on his mill race. He also intends 10
thoroughly overhaul his mill.
Mr.. w. C. Martin has had a little break
down with his new engine, and has lost
more than a weeks threshing.
Your correspondent had the pleasure of
taking in the supper at Bethesda Satur-
day the 9sth of August. 1t was a real
enjoyable occasion. There were about
three hundred present. There were two
very interesting speeches by ]. B. Wal
ker and G. w. Bright. Services were
opened by a piece Of sacred music by
the Bethesda Band, and prayer by Rev.
A. J. Bruner, of Laurel Gap, Greene
county; after which we had some Of as
fine music as we ever listened to. The
band consisted Of one organ, three vio-
Inns and a triangle. The performers were
Miss Hayes, Messrs. Andrew Walker,
George Hays, John Hays and brother.
After listening to the music for a while
my attention was called to the selling of
the paper bags, which sold at ten cents q
bag, and contained the dainties for the
occasion. Each bag contained the name
Of some lady, and the gentleman buying
1t had to hunt her out and they ate to-
gether; and here Is where the fun came
in. Some times the old men would draw
the little girls. and the small boys would
draw the old ladies. Well, 1t was mo-
long until the pokes were all sold oui
and supper was over; then we were again
treated to fine music by the band. The
proceeds are TO be divided between the
Cumberland, Baptist and NJ. E. churches
for Sunday school and missionary pur
poses.

Why Mr.. Glenn Came to Town To-Day.

There was, yesterday, received from
New Orleans a draft for $15, 600, the sum
drawn by William Glen of M%onroeville,
in the last drawing. of The Louisiana
State Lottery. Mr., Glenn will be in the
city to-day TO receipt for his newly and
easily acquired fortune. Many persons
were skeptical and did not believe that
the money would be forthcoming. The
Louisiana State Lottery Is as solid as Q
National Bank and prizes are invariably
paid in full.-Fort Wayne Qnd.) Journal

Maple Lawn Cemetery Company.

Some time since, we mentioned in these
columns that an organization was form
ing for the purpose of laying out q ceme-
terry at this place. The company is now
fully formed and q charter Of incsrpora-
ton secured from the Secretary Of State.
Last Friday, the 9th Of August, the
stockholders held a meeting and organic
ed as follows:
Presidents. ]. Kirkpatrick.
Secretary and Treasurer-E. A. Shipley.

| s. ]. Kirkpatrick was constituted O
committee TO draft bylaws, etc, and X.
M. May, ]. A. FEBRUARY and E. A. Ship
ley, to report a suitable site, ETC., for 10.
cation of cemetery.
This is a long stepin advance for Jones
boro and an enterprise which will com.
mend itself to every ~inhabitant of the
town and vicinity, The shocking con
dition of the old graveyard has often
been commented upon in these columns,
and the necessity for Its enlargement
shown. That a naturally beautiful and
advantageous site for the purpose will bt
selected, we have no doubt.
The board will hold q meeting at the
bank on the 18th inst. when the commit
ties will report, and further action will
be taken.

Meanest Sneak In Town.

Malarial cases sneaked up through the
poorly constructed drains and made baby
very sick with malarial fever. Baby
would have died but for timely use Of
Browns Iron Bitters. There Is nothing
meaner in Its way Of coming, nor worse
in It's effects, than this malaria from the
underground regions. Mrs. Mcdonald,
Of New Haven. Conn.,, says, "For six

iaria, but Browns Iron Bitters cured me

Short Hand.

The necessity is often felt among bust
ness men for some substitute for the slow
and tedious long-hand method of writing
for many purposes. Many shorthand
methods have long been in use, but have
generally been believed to require so
much time for and to be so difficult of
acquisition that those who have felt the
need of something Of the kind, have been
deferred from even attempting to learn
anything about it, thus confirming tito
specialists. Now, however, IL is q bust:
ness education is hardly complete without
a knowledge of it. We have recently
seen It recommended by some of the bes'
educators of the country that the teach
ing of short. hand be included in the
course of study of the public schools. IL
this connection we are pleased to STATE
that the people Of Jonesboro now have
chance to acquire a knowledge of the art
H, r. Murtha an experienced shorthand
writer is now in town and has already
