The Boss Saw Log.

Nashville American.
The Nashville Lumber Company
received day or two ago, from Giles
county, a poplar log measuring 80
inches in diameter and q feet in cir
cumference. This monster was sawed
on their band mill, yesterday, and
sawed out more than three thousand
feet Of lumber, the widest plank being
5S4 inches. This is claimed to be the
largest log ever handled here, and
certainly the widest lumber ever
sawed in Nashville. The log was
sound to the heart, and of exception
ally fine quality of softyellow poplar,
for which Tennessee is now so Justly
noted.

VICTORY OFAUGUST 9TH, 1886.

Again the people have spoken in accents
distinct and clear
Again they have fought in earnest, assured
that success was near;
Tho battle cry of the victors has echoed from
hill to hill
Their banners are swaying proudly pro-

Our standard bearers are chosen, as sainted
Primrose of old
Selected his wedding garments, (not for
glossy face and fold),
But for qualities of texture that aCOuId Vear--
would stand the test;
In such hands our interests prosper-in such
hands may safely rest.
The defeated ones who struggled till the
race was run and lost
May think with Greeley-''not vanquished,
but fallen"-by fortune tossed;
And resignedly determine though their
point they failed to gain
To be ready at the next turn of the long and
dreary lane.
Perhaps there are some among them who
confess the saying Norn-
'Twould be money in their pockets if they
never had been born
But life's "ups and downs" are many-not

Like the widow famed in story old, they

Our own county proudly glories in the able
Judge we've gained
Our. Attorney too is worthy of the honor
he's attained.
Both were heroes in the battle, both may
proudly take the trust
Into hands their friends have proven, they
considered strong and just.
And today, this August sunshine like q
blessing seems to fall.

That from the Capitol arrives OF Iaylor'

BoB'S UNCLE.

The following specimen CT the bril-
liant eloquence of Col. Langdon C.
Haynes, though often before printed
and quoted, will be appreciated now,
when it is remembered that Mr..
Haynes was an uncle of the Hon.
Robert l.. Taylor.
AT an entertainment given the
bench and bar at jackson, Miss,
some years ago, General Forrest rose
and said:
Gentlemen l propose the health
of the eloquent gentleman from East
Tennessee, a country sometimes call
ed the 'God-forsaken'."
Mr.. Haynes responded:
"MR. CHAIRMAN AND GENTLE
MEN, plead guilty to the soft i'm
peachment. / was born in East Ten
nessee, on the banks of the Wautau-
ga, which in the Indian vernacular
means beautiful river and beauti-
full river it is. | have stood upon its
banks in my childhood, and looked
down through Its CLASSY waters, and
have seen the heaven below; and
then looked up and beheld heaven
above, reflecting like two mirrors,
each in the other, its moons, and
planets and trembling stars. Away
from its banks of rock and cliff, hem
lock and laurel, and cedar, stretches
vale back to the distant mountains
as beautiful and exquisite as any in
Italy or Switzerland. There stands
the Great Unicoi, the Great Roam,
the Great Black and the Great Smoky
Mountains, among the lOftiest in the
United States of North America, on
whose SUBMITS the clouds gather of
their own accord, even in the bright
est day. There l have seen the great
spirit of the storm, after noontide, go
and take his evening nap in the pa
Wilton of darkness and of clouds. /
have then seen hin arise at midnight,
as giant refreshed by slumber, and
cover the heavens with gloom and
darkness; have seen him awake the
tempest, let loose the red lightnings
that run along the mountain tops for
a thousand miles, swifter than the
eagles flight in heaven. Then II have
seen him stand up and dance like
angels of light in the clouds, to the
music of that grand organ of nature,
whose key seemed touched by the
fingers of Divinity in the hall of Eter-
nifty, that responded in notes of
thunder that resounded through the
Universe. Then / have seen the
darkness drift away beyond the hori-
zon, and the morning get upfrom her
saffron bed like queen, put on her
robes Of light, come forth from her
palace in the sun, and stand tip-toe
on the mountain top, and night fled
from before her glorious face to his
bed-chamber at the pole. She lighted
the green vale and beautiful river
r where was born and played in child.

, ooh! beautiful land of the noun.
q tains, with thy sun-painted cliffs, how
q can I ever forget thee!"
General Forrest stood stupefied
while Col. Haynes pronounced these
, marvellous sentences, and he would
, not have been more amazed if he haG
been struck by the lightning's fasf

MIR. Walter Barton returned home
Monday, after an absense of several
months, and has formed a partner
ship with the Faulkner Brothers,
who have recently purchased the
plant of the Eagle Mill Co. The new
firm, Faulkner Bros. q Barton, will
start up the machine shop in a few
days for general machinists' work
and repairing of all kinds. The shop
is well equipped with machinery,
and Mr.. Barton is a first-class ma
chinist, having spent the last few
months in the large shops of Chatta-
nooga, Birmingham and Meridian.
We are glad to chronicle the starting
of this industrial enterprise again,
after an idleness of a year or more,
and we wish it abundant success.
