Farmers are very busy cutting
wheat, between showers.
Corn looks we'll, but if the rain
continues for a few days, weeds
will look better.
Miss Mollie Caldwell, who has
been spending few days at home,
returned to Maryville, Tuesday.
T. w. Queener has just returned
from Loudon, where he has been
spending day or two.
w. H. Caldwell left for Granville,
Tenn, where he will spend a few
months.
Mrs. Talliaferro has added TO the

Richard Caldwell stepped on a
scythe this morning, cutting his
foot very badly, but it is hoped that
it will not prove fatal.
Some children were out picking
dewberries yesterday. One OF
them stepped on snake and that
ended the berry picking. But We
are happy to say she didn't stay
long enough TO get bit.
Mr.. Hugh Prater was tempted tt
cut wheat Sunday, because it was {
pretty day. He said he did no
think it would be any harm, tina
the reason God didn't work on Sun
day, was because he had nothing
to do, he had finished His work or
the sixth day.
James Garrett, who had been il
for some time, died Monday. HI
died of consumption.

ON"S ~, ho"is
The train was stopped at this
place this morning, and crowd
numbering about IS alighted, con-
sisting of the children, friends
and acquaintances of our friend,
Samuel Hampson. With baskets
ladened with the refreshments of
life they retired to the residence of
Mr.. Hampson, and there they were
met by friends of the neighborhood
and the day was spent in .perfect
peace and harmony, the crowd
numbering about 80. Although
about IL o'clock the clouds lowered
in the heavens and the rain de-
scended in torrents for while il
did not modest the peace or mar the
joys of the crowd. They were fur.
nished music by the daughters OF
Mr.. Hampson, at the organ. Such
pieces were sung and played as,

While the years Of eternity roll.
All hearts were filled with joy as
those sweet strands saluled each
ear, and the most thoughtless and
unthinking might catch their
thoughts soaring to the great be-
You'd, where the friendship of
friends and families are forever
purified and perpetuated. But one
thought could dampan the feelings
and that was, when shall we meet
again. A small still voice whisper
ed "never, never" Yet this sad
thought was tempered as hope
pointed to the grand reunion Of
friends on the ether shore.
After the clouds passed away we
were invited to partake of the re-
freshments o: life, and all were
bountlfully supplied. Our Knox
vile friends left on thea o'clock
train. May they they live long
and be prosperous, are the, wishes
of their friends who enjoyed the
occasion to perfection.
May our old friends Mr.. and Mrs.
Hampson live that their children
may again gather round them to
encourage and cheer them in their
declining years. They have eight
children, six girls and two sons
and they all seem to adhere to the
command that promises long
life, "HOnor thy father and mother
that thy days may be long upon
the land which the Lord thy God
giveth thee"
May peace attend their future hours
And fortune strsw their path with flowers.

A Marrow Escape.

- AoV "SS0o ~6OS va :" oOAS"O
Sabbath morn, as the sun slowly
mounted the eastern horizon, GER
tain young gentleman rode quietly
and peacefully out of the suburbs
of Maryville. His destination was
a church some half dozen miles
from the city. His object was to
exhort the dear good people in the
ways Of rectitude and right. (And
we might add he was a minister of
the gospel.) He passed on, and at
length reached the church where
he did himself full justice in ad.
mOnishing the people, cOndemning
sin, and unfolding christianity.
After services were over, a kind old
tiller of the soil approached our
young friend (whom we shall call
Mr.. A. and offered him the hospi-
tally of his house for the remain.
der of the day and the following
night. Mr.. A. probably wished to
become better acquainted with ru.
raj life so he accepted the kind in.
vitation of our farmer friend, Mr.. B.
The old gentleman escorted Mr.. A.
to his rude yet comfortable resi-
dence where he spared no pains to
make him (Mr. Az as much at ease
as possible.
The hours passed on very pleas.
antly, till at length bedtime arrived
AS Mr.. B. had only one apartment
in his house, therefore he assigned
Mr.. A. a bed in the same room
where he and his wife slept. The
trio retired for the night, and Mr.
B. and his wife supposing Mr.. A
asleep and not wishing to disturb
him began to carry on converse
ton in whispered tones. But oul
hero meanwhile had not sunk into
the hands of Morpheus, but lay
wide awake on his bed full of dread
and horror, imagining that he was
in house of cut-throats, and thai
a foul murder was being contem
plated, and that he was the subject
of the plot. He listened and still
he could hear the sound of whispers
He nerved himself for the wOrs
and determined to die game; so hi
exclaimed in stentorian tones
"COme ahead! Pm herew His voic'
reverberated through the hous
but no answer came. The old folk
were at first startled then the,
thought Mr.. A. might be talking il
his sleep so they went off to SLEEP
But when they awoke in the morn
ing, to their utter astonishmen
they found not the stranger witt
! them. "And 10! where was he /?
Alas! he had after saying "com
ahead" decided if the will aims di,
come they would not find hin
there, so he silently arose, mounted
his horse and rode quietly back t
Maryville, imagining that he ha
escaped the hands of blood-thirst
villains, who were, as he thought
sharpening their daggers to plung
into his heart the very moment h
left. He will not likely ventur
into the hostile districts soon, agair
, but cOnfine his ministerial labors

Showers of Blood.

Showers of blood from the sky are
very rare in this day and age Of the
world, fact which makes their COM
paratively common occurrence in the
olden times only that much more ex-
traordinary and unaccountable. In the
'sAnnals of Remarkable Happenings in
Rome" mention is made of fourteen diff
ferent showers of blood and other sub
stances mixed between the years 319
A. D. and ITO. Besides these there
were two showers of much intensity,
of which the liquid resembled pure blood
and was not intermixed with other mat
ter as heretofore reported" In 1929 we
find record Of shower of blood and
dust over the larger part of Italy. IL
1926 snow fell in Syria, (which presently
turned into large pools of gore"
A monk who wrote in 1851 tells of Il
three days shower of blood all over
southern Europe. In the same year a
loaf freshly taken from the oven ''did
bleed like new wound" when sliced at
the table. In 1349 the great chasms made
by the earthquake at Villach, Austria,
'sent forth blood and great pestilence
followed" Burgundy had a bloody show
er in 1861, and Dedfordshire, England,
witnessed the same phenomenon in 1850.
In 1856 hailstones fell in Wurtemburg
which contained hollow cavities filled
with blood. The last bloody shower on
record occurred in Siam in 1802.-St.
Louis Republic.
