while in somnombulistic state,
got out of his bedroom window, on

Mr.. James Meyers, of Tunneiton,
was in Oakland Tuesday. Mr..
Meyers related to a REPUBLICAN
reporter that he carried the. first
mail bag overland that came to

The person who furnishes items
for newspaper is always a valuable
friend to the editor. Many hesi-
tate about sending items regarding
friends or ncighb0rs, least the edi-
tor should think them anxious to
see their name in print. He viii

the contrary will be glad to get such
notes. Many seemingly unimpor-
tant items when printed are news
to large number of readers.

army of the Cumberland at
Chattanooga has brought out the
intelligence that about II 900 Off
GERS and 100000 privates remain
from the divisions which marched
and fought in Tennessee in '63

lost art in this country.
The annual full dress ball was
given at the Oakland Hotel last
night. The orchestra Of the OAK

immense dining room was used IN
stead. Some elaborate dresses were
to be seen and admired. The ball
was given by Geo. ID. DeShields,
superintendent of the hotels, to the
guests.

A blushing young Demosthcnes
pays the following soul-thrilling
compliment to a young Socrates OF
the mountains through the columns
Of the Piedmont Herold.
"This young Socrates Of our
town may go down IN history a
Demosthenes or Thermople, but
suffice it to say that he bids fair to
enroll his name upon the scroll Of
literary attainmonts. He com
manded the most wrapt attention,
and his stentorian voice resounded
with resonance through the entire
building"
Who is old Thermople, anyhow,
and who ever heard Of "his stento-
