 A German law of compulsory insurance on wage earners has been in operation fo six months, with results that are not re garded as satisfactory.

lNsrrNof on REASON !
A Case in poihtrhat was Neither.

Editors Tobacco Leaf Chronicle.
In late issue OF the LEAF CHRoN-
ICLE i noticed quite a lengthy article
from "John Dusty" in which he sets
forth various instances where ami.
mails have been carried long dis
tances, and on being released would
wander back to their former homes.
He raises the question as to whether
it is reason or instinct that leads
them back. 1 don't propose to ans
wer his question, but only want to
give an instance which proved to be
neither reason nor instinct that led
the animal home.
In 49, Mr.. ]. r. Young lived near
Sadlersville. He sold his farm and
moved near Keysburg, KY, a dis
lance of seven miles. In gathering
up his stock and hogs to move to his
new home he missed fine
sow. Of you don't know
Jim, then you can't appreciate
how keenly he felt the loss). He gave
up the hunt reluctantly and settled
down sorrowfully in his new house.
About six months after he moved
he went out one morning, as was his
custom, to feed his hogs. Imagine his
surprise to see his long lost SOW at the
feed trough, apparently at home with
her old associates. Nor did she come
alone; she brought with her nine
sleek, fat shoats. Jim greeted her as
never before had SOW been greeted
and gave her an extra ear of corn
He related the case to all his friends
telling them that he had educated hi;
hogs to high degree, far above the
ordinary hog. Faithfully for 6
month Jim would scratch her back
every morning and continue to give
her the extra ear and would let the
pigs take corn from his hands.
On going out one morning to feed
he found an old negro woman driv
ing the sow and nine shoats out o.
the pasture. Upon inquiry from jim
as to what he meant the old negro
said that they all belonged to hiH
and he had looked for them quite 6
while. The old negro was too many
for jim, for he not only claimed bu
proved the ownership. Jim returned
to the house not much smarter, but 6
a very ID man. Was it instinct OF
reason?
DON'T send Jim copy.

Wearing His Grandpap's Pants.

A pretty picture is that of little
Charlie McCauley with his grand
fathers rants on. The boy is IA
months old and the pants are II
years old. Chas. is bright-eyed, cur
ley headed, CHEEKY little fellow, the
first born and bred of his happy par

The pants were the first that were
ever worn by Mrs. McCauley's
father, II years ago, Col. Thomas
Foster, of Nashville, man who dis
tinguished himself in the Mexican
war, and was also prominent col
onel in the Confederate service. May
Charlie grow up to fill all his grand
pap's old pants to the last pair,
and fill them with as much credit to
himself as his grandsire did.

The Appeal-Avalanche is already
urging the abolition of the privilege
tax on merchants in Tennessee by
the next Legislature. There ought
to be something done to get rid of
this tax. 1t is an outrage on the
commerce of the State, and like the
tariff, is an Indirect tax on the peo-
pie. There is one way to do it and
supply the revenue without increas-
ing the property tax, and that is the
plan proposed by the late House pro-
viding tor the purchase of coal mines
to employ the convicts in. The rev.
enue from this source can be made to
pay much Of the State expenses.

ERIN 10 HAVE A NEW oHuacH.
Rev. Alva Barnes and His Work at Erin
and Other Places.

No man in all of this country is do
ing more that Rev. q. A. Barnes to
spread the gospel in the waste
places and build up churches in des-
titute localities, where they are
worse needed, and the people are
anxious for the Word. He has built
several churches lately, and has
now commenced to raise the means
to build Baptist church at Erin,
where the people extend him a
hearty welcome and bid him God
speed, with all the help they can
give. DIR. Nichols has donated an
excellent lot for the location. Mr..
Mitchell, the druggist, heads the SUBJ
scription list with 5000, and Mrs. In
gram, from Louisville, proposes to
raise liberal amount, including her
own subscription, while others
promise subscriptions.
The Erin News has this to say in
regard TO Brother Barnes and his
good work:
"We are pleased to announce that
Rev. @. A. Barnes, of Palmyra,
Tenn, has been in Erin during the
week in the interest of a building
that is much needed, a Missionary
Baptist church in our town. We
are acquainted with Bro. Barnes
family from away back, and he
comes of good stock, and that he
himself is nice and worthy Chris.
tan gentleman. We think much
good may be done in this direction
"The field in Erin is good one
and we have no doubt of the advisa.
bility, as well as the practicability o.
building such a church in Erin in
the near future. We wish Bro
Barnes abundant success in his new
undertaking."

The pension list continues to in

there are now 500, 426 pension claims

clerks to get the certificates issued in
time for the campaign. But Secre-

raise the money to pay them. The
Mckinley bill checks imports and
reduces the revenue, while the peo-
pie pay the taxes all the same to the
