While attempting to break a
young horse last Wednesday, Shady
Mckinney came near meeting with

attached was kicked into smither-

tawba tree stood close to Mr.. Posts
house and was killed by the fire. A
sprout sprang from the roots and
grew, i'm one season, to he 16 feet in

body, but strong for the right. We
welcome this cO-wOrker among us,
and wish to hear of its financial
success. The people of Loudon
County ought to support it, and let
foreign papers get their support at
home, where they spend their
money.
