tune. We have duty to perform. Lend me two dollars and . half"
 He took the money and sadly showed 1t down into his trousers. We congratulated the man who had let him have 1t. We said that he was hero to the cause. The victim shook hands with us and laughed in A sickly way. He knew that he was doing his duty; he did not exactly know how but he felt that he dischargng the obligations of great trust. I envied him. 1 wished that had possessed money to lend.
 Election time drew near Candidates came around. Looking up from my tease" could sec the aspirant for the office of sheriff and our man. ager sitting in close communication with bottle of wine. One of the boys ventured to remark that he would like little wine but Stallcup hearing of the remark, came into the composing room and told that if we wanted to hamper him. all right. In the discharge of his duty he knew that he was subjected to ignorant criticism and that if we wanted him to resign his position he would do 90. After awhile he came out as a candidate for sheriff He said that he did this in selfdeiense and we be- lieved him. He declared that the other candidates were unfriendly to the Mdl. We worked for him, and by this time our paper had secured such "pull" that we elected him. It was happy day in our office when the returns came in. We shook one anotners hanus anu ln pleuges or muddy water swore eternal allegiance to our victorious publica tion. We knew that dividend would be soon de- clared and the boys sat around and talked about the meals they were going to eat after awhile.
 One day, T. Cesar Stallcup, sheriff of Davidson county, came around, and by authority in him vested, took charge of the offce In telling us to get out he said that it duty to obey the law, and assured us that in a few months time we might secure employment down on the steamboat landing. T. C@ar Stallcup undoubtedly sociable man, but there were some points about him that do not admire.-Opie P. Redd

The postmaster of Oak Flat, Ky, was sitting on a stump in front of his door when a well-dressed stranger came up and asked if that were the post ofice"
 "Yep," the postmaster answered, placing his chin in his hand and squirting yellow stream at a lizard.
 "I am expecting letter and"
 "Whut's yo' name?"
 "James Henwood." "Any kin to old Feb Henwood that lives down beyant the forks2"
 "No."
 "Same name."

 "I tell you that am no kin to him. but even if were, that should make no difference"
 "But it do all the same He pizened my pup last fall an that settles it with him."
 "I don't care anything about that. I want to know if there's letter here for me?"
 "Yas, thar is one; come day beto' yistidy." "Let me have it, please"

T. CESAR STALLCUP.

I am going to relate bit of my own experience. In 1876 a number of printers including the writer, started q had come within one of saying estab- lished) the EVenmg Mdil, in Nashville We started out with fair prospects-that is the weather was clear and bright. Our general manager, fellow named T. Cesar Stallcup, declared that the sum- shine which greeted our first appearance was an omen of infallible significance It was not at that time nor is it now, exactly clear what he meant by "infallible significance" but grasped his hand and warmly shook it. He said that he had started quite number of newspapers, one at Bear Wallow, Ky, among the number, and that he had always noticed that those born during sunshiny weather needed less nursing and, in fact, appeared to live longer than those that had been born under a cloud. Such words of encouragement thrilled us :; and set of resolutions which we immediately adopted declared that T. Cesar Stallcup was the ablest newspaper man in the state of Tennessee. He swallowed lump of emotion, and ssid that it had ever been his habit to do his duty by his news papers, and that fate helping him, we should soon see the MaH soaring aloft like the proud bird of freedom.
 It was our duty to set type and await develop ments 1t was Stalcup's duty to await develop ments. When we needed money, which we did from the beginning, he talked to us of our strong band of brotherhood. When we became hungry, he took us to one side and told us that we had to make a sacrifice or we should never become great.
 "Look at Bennett" said he "That man wrote his editorials on flour barrel"
 Some of the boys remarked that they would like to see flour barrel. This disgusted him. "Do you think that we simply carnal creatures?" he exclaimed "Do you think that we live by flour alone2 A time has come when we can all be great, but, shutting your eyes on this fact, you stand around and talk about four barrel"
 The boys, feeling ashamed of themselves, apolo- gized. Stallcup, accepting their apologies, said:
 "Now, you are talking like white men. I now see that you desire to become great. Go to your cases now and set up the paper. My duties grind me down at the desk. Would that I had time to help you. But there is coming 8 time, boys there is coming time, boys, when shall not be ground down. I do not complain of my overworked con- this burden, but do not murmur.
