ANGELES MORNING, o
As Good as a seashors Cottage.

"Are you going to the seashore this
summer" Jones asked of Brown. 'N-not
exactly" said Brown, ''but we're going
to accomplish the same result without
going from home at ALL" "What do
you meany' "Why, it's this way You
see, when person of my means takes q
cottage at the seashore he Of course gets
poor sort of shanty, because we can't
afford large, finely finished and we'll
furnished house. You know the sort Of
place the usual summer cottageis. Well,
we've decided to accomplish the result
In another way. We're going to move
up into the attic for the summer"
Move into the attic?" "Why, certain
ly. It is unfinished, just like seashore
cottage. The sun beats down on. the
shingles and raises the temperature above
100 degrees every sunny summer day.
That's just like seashore cottage. There
isn't by any means room enough in it for
our large family, and. that's like sea-
shore cottage too.
"When it rains, the water doesn't beat
through our roof, to be sure, as it does
through the roofs of seashore cottages,
but we can remedy that by poking few
holes through the shingles here and
there and getting the roof mended in
the fall. 1t will smell little stuffy, but
that is eminently like seashore cot
tage. We shall keep clothesbasket
full of nnwashed shells standing in the
corner to produce q realistic effect. On
the whole, we shall be ever so much
moro comfortable in our own accus-
toned garret than we should be at the
seaside, and we shall have this inestima-
BILE advantage that when we get sick
Of it we can simply move right down
into our own comfortable home, where
as, if we were at the shore and paying O
high price for cottage, we should feel
bound to stick it out to the bitter end.
Oh, tell you, it's a great scheme. p

''The Fiddle and the Bow. !"

Elk Gov. "Bob" Taylor,of Tennessee,
entertained good sized and highly
appreciative audience at Haynes opera
house Saturday evening, his theme be-
ing, "The Story of the Fiddle and the
Bow" The story is conception both
beautiful and unique is full Of humor,
sentiment, passion and pathos; is lux
uriant with incidents described in
beautiful language, metaphorically
told in the eolian strains Of the fiddle
and the bow. The narration is pre-
sented in artistic, fgurative language
and refined mirthfulness.
Gov, Taylor is an elocutionist rather
than an orator, but he has chosen a
subject suitable to his talents and tells
his story in his own inimitable way.
After being introduced by the Hon.
Martin w. Littleton, he came forward,
looking Southern gentleman Of the
old regime, and proceeded with his
story in manner that held the undj-
yided attention Of the audience. Ac-
cording to the Governor, an old, aged
and battered fiddle can tell some Won

Wanted in Carolina. hoo.

John Upton, present occupant Of
Jonesboro Jail on the charge of steal
ing a mule, is said to be wanted in
North Carolina for the killing Of Dep
uty Marshal Miller in Wilkes county,
that State, some time since. Miller is
said to have been pursuing Upton for
similar offense to that on which he
is now incarcerated, wheL he turned
and fired, killing his pursuer in cold
blood. Upton is evidently desper-
ate character, and, If reports are true,
should be guarded carefully. he is
the same man, it seems, who so en-
phalically and persistently resisted ar
rest by officer Ray, of this place, on
his present indictment some several
months ago. 1t will be remembered
how the arrest was made at the close
OF one OF Tipton's pretended religious
services in Virginia, in which Officer
Ray, though severely wounded by a
pistol shot in the foot, came off yicto
rious, dismissed the congregation
rather informally and returned to Ten
nessee with his man, whom he turned
over to the authorities at Jonesboro
where he, though not not ecclesasti
cally speaking, is still in charge.

be true he may probably have to &

Deafness Cannot be Cured

There is only one way to cure deaf

this tube is inhamed you have q rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the infiamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine

which is nothing but an inhamed con-

A Serious Accident at South Watauga
Yesterday.

Yesterday.
Quite a serious accidentoccurred in
the mills Of the Watauga Boom and
Lumber Company at Watauga yester-
day shortly after noon, in which Chas.
NJ. Hendrix, a young employee in the
establishment barely escaped losing
his life.
The young man was adjusting belt
on the machinery, when, in some
manner, his work apron was caught,
and he was drawn by it into the wheels,
escaping only after his clothing had
been sufficiently torn to release him,
which, was presumably some several
minutes. When released he was un-
conscious, badly bruised and severely
lacerated. His left shoulder was dis
located, his left ear almost severed
from his head and his left arm badly
bruised and mangled. The right side
of his body was comparatively un-
touched, though his breast was bruised
to some extent. DR.. Campbell, a prsc-
Using physician at that place, was
called in at once, and, after exam
lining, dressing and otherwise attend
ing to the wounds, left the young man
resting as easy as could be expected.
He does not think the wounds at all
dangerous, unless he be affected inter-
nally, which is not at all probable.
The physician, in fact, expresses the
opinion that he will soon recover.
