A king and doubled pawn wins against king
if the front pawn is supported by its king and
the least advanced pawn has not reached Its
fifth square. When the pawns are a rocks
file, or when the least advanced pawn has
reached its fifth square, the rule does not ap-
ply. The game is then won or drawn under one
OF the rules for king and pawn against
king.

must commend to all educated youth

A Georgia Snake Story.

There is story going the rounds
down in Georgia that the other day
one of three ladies, while crossing a
road, accidentally stepped on snake.
The serpent coiled itself tightly around
the lady's ankle and the effect was
electrical. His snakeship had hoped
on dynamo without knowing it. The
lady turned on the power, and after
describing two or three sharply elon-
gated circuits with her heel in mid air
the snake, unable to stand the pres
sure, relaxed his grip and sailed back
to earth and fell near lady No. @ He
rather liked the fun and Immediately
hitched on to No. 2 in the same man
ner. The curtain was rung up and the
fun began without delay. Sizz went
the lightning pedal violently, with
an engine lever motion, and
swash went his snakeship
through the air. Unable to hold on
he turned loose, and dropped at the
feet of No. 3. Quick as thought he
tackled the next dynamo with the
same result Here it occurred for the
first time to the gallant little snake
that he was in Georgia, and that Geor
gia girls were electrical, and that Geor
gia people are never SO happy as wher
they can tell a lie on snake, and thai
about the best thing he could do just
then was to escape to the woods be
fore he was sized up and examined
carefully for rattles. After thanking
the ladies for the entertainment III
made his bow and sought the timber

The Mine Trouble.

The disturbed state of affairs in this
State, over working convicts m the
coal mines, is the all absorbing ques-
ton of the hour.
There is no doubt that the people,
in general, sympathize with the min
ers to the extent Of being opposed to
the convict lease system; but objec-
tionable as the law is, while it is law
it must be enforced. That is the way
the people feel about it, and yet they
would not trouble themselves much,
under present circumstances,to enforce
it, Circumstances, however,might be so
shaped that sentiment would change
While, as we said, the people sympa-
thize with the miners, they feel that
the authorities and miners of Tennes-
see can settle the trouble between and
among themselves. An invasion OF
Tennessee soil 10y Kentucky and Vir-
GINA miners would not be submitted to
and upon such an occurrence would
hinge the kindly sentiment towards
our home miners. They have beer
badly treated, and have many griev-
ances to be remedied, but they should
let their best judgment pilot them
through. There is State pride tha
is rightly jealous Of outside interior
ence, and they can not be too careful
along this line.

Johnson City is located 100 miles

the East Tennessee, Virginia and

cinnati and Chicago Railroads and
at the termini of the East Tennes-

The Johnson City and Green's

and preliminary survey made. 1t
is an extension of the Richmond

The Johnson City and Cumber-

Ist. It is in the midst of a fine
agricultural section. The cereals
tobacco, the grasses and all kinds o.
fruits grow to perfection. There il
no better section for the stockman
the cattle breeder, or the frui
grower.
I'd. 1t has at its gates an unlim

Nearly all of the hard wood
abound in vast quantities. An cx

mountains of iron ores. Red ant

at the base of the Cranberry Noun

proximity to the magnetic ores O.

Colored PEOPLES Fair.

The State Fair of the colored people
of Virginia, which was held IN Rlch>
mond last week, was a marked success
On Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
there was about $4,000 persons who pass
ed through the gates, and the exhibit
ton was in every respect beyond expect
atious. The projectors of the enterprise
are, of course, very much pleased with
the result of this, the first effort, OF the
colored people to hold State fair. The
whole affair was creditable in high
degree, and gives promise OF new and
salutary departure in the ambition and
endeavors of that race in Virginia. 1t
is much better for the colored people to
be looking and working for material ad-
vancement, instead of spending their
time in politics, excursions, picnics, and
like frivolous and non essential lines OF
activity. The State Fair, engineered
by them, and which closed last week
demonstrated that they can direct their
efforts in useful channels, and accom-
plish results which identify them with
the higher objects of State, and the wel~
fare OF the Commonwealth. We trust
this is but the beginning of new con>
dition of things with them, and that
each year will witness gratifying prog
ress in matters in which there own sub
stantial interests are implicated, as wei |
as those of all the people of the State.

Parnell's Funeral i.

The funeral Of Charles Stewart Par
NELL the Irish leader, took place in Dub.
lin Sunday. 1t was the greatest event
of the kind ever witnessed in that city
Delegations from all parts of Ireland at
tended. Forty thousand persons, who
came in a terrific downpour of rain, view
ed the remains, which were lying in
state in the city hall. The procession
to the cemetery, five miles from the city,
was made up of thousands and thou
sands of Mr. Parnell's followers Pho
tographs of the lying in state were ta>
ken before the public was admitted.
These show that the cof1in was placed at
the base of the O'Connell statue. and on
either side in bold relief are the statues
OF Grattan and Lucas. Conspicuous on
the coffin were three wreaths from Mrs.
ParneI, cross, anchor and circle, with
the Inscriptions; my own true love
best and truest friend My husband,
from his broken-hearted wife" Inside
this inscription was the following: my
dear love. my husband from his heart
broken wife" and still within this was
the following my dear love, my hus-
band, my king, from his heart>broken
wife" There were also two lovely little
wreaths from Mrs. Parnell's daughters,
with the words. From little Glare and
little Kitty to our dear mothers hus>
band.
