much Of himself in trying to justify
the Hunicutt verdict. He says able
counsel was employed on both sides.
That may be true, but there is not q
lawyer connected with the case that
does not believe that Hunicutt was
guilty of premeditated murder. The
lawyers did not fix the sentence, or it
would have been different. "Close
Observer" failed to mention the intel
ligent (2) jury. He was one of the jury
men, no doubt, and modesty forbade
the reference. He did not say there
were murderers and penitentiary birds
on it lest he might be accused of allud-
ing to himself, and thereby grow per-
sonal. Poor fellow He says he never
heard OF THE COMET If he has not,

A FEW years ago Gen. j. I. Wilder
spent thousands Of dollars in building
a road from Roam Mountain depot to
the Cloudland Hotel on top OF the
mountain, a distance OF twelve miles.
He did not ask the county for q penny
and even kept it in repair at his own
expense. Within the last few months
saw mill men located in the noun
tains, have used the road without per-
mission, and have hauled such enor-
NOUS logs over it and cut it up until
it is impossible for hacks going to and
from Cloudland. Mr., w. S. Ayers
lessee of the hotel, with the enterprise
characteristic Of him, has gone to
work, at his own expense, and built a
new road. The new road has been In
use several days now and is perfectly
safe and as smooth as possible for q

Sketch rrUnl the Life of Dayy Crockett.

Davy Crockett, the pioneer soldier
and statesman, was born August II,
. 1876, on the north bank of Limestone
Creek, near the point where it flows
into the Nolachucky, and near the
Mineral Springs, now owned by b. h.
Strong. He was one of the most re-
markable men OF the times in which
he lived. Born in humble life, but
gifted with q strong will, indomitable
courage and unrem;tting perseyer-
anAe, as well as q capacity for accumu-
lating information from his intercourse
with men OF superior education, mer-
tied for him posts Of high honor and
distinction. His striking originality
caused him to be often quoted and re-
ceived with applause throughout the
civilized world. Ills entrance into
\ public life was unsought by himself,
and was entirely the result Of that as
oendancy which an able and independ-
ent mind asserts over the masses in
the. great battle Of life. The stand
which he took in Congress against
those, measures of which he disap-
proved, was recognized throughout the
l nation as the evidence of the very
highest degree Of integrity, and made
him the hero Of his time. When his
popularity was at its height, Colonel
Crockett was urged to make tour Of
tho Northern and Middle States, and
WAS everywhere received with the
greatest enthusiasm. His odd maxim;
l and original remarks have been circu
lating Ia the newspapers for the pas
three CHARTERS of century, and are
always eagerly read.

apparently hopeless state, ana th'

The statement that @. P. Hunting

chase the Charleston, Cincinnati and
Chicago railroad is denied by Vice
President Gen. ]. 7. Wilder. He says
the Chesapeake and Ohio people may
have bought the Chattaroi road, as the
Chattaroi people were anxious to sell,
and wanted the Three C's to purchase
theirline, but that the sale OF that road
has nothing to do with the Three C's.
