"You are mistaken" said the young
man, "those are not cOwlets, but bull
let's"

The Greeneviile Bulletin; At a
very recent colored mass meeting in
Knoxville, at which many of the lead
ers we're very emphatic in their de-
nunciations of the false pledges of the

A very singular and fatal disease
has suddenly appeared at Parrottsville
in Cooke county. Within three days
twenty-seven deaths occurred. The
