The Cause of Our Cold Snap.
Yesterday morning glance in the
direction Of the mountains revealed
fact that a big snow storm had pre-
vailed in the mountains. The big
Smokes were as white as chalk, and
the snow is evidently a foot or two
deep on them, as it requires heavy
fall to whiten them so thoroughly.
While the Smokes usually show snow
before the lower Chilhowies do, yet
these mountains show the snow
storm played on their crests also, but
not to the extent it did on their big
brothers. This is the first snow 'oi
the season that has been discernible
at this distance, and is earlier than
usual.-Journal.

Raid on Moonshlners.

Deputy Collectors Allison and
Park, of, this city, an Sharp, of Sewer
county, returned from a successful
moonshine raid yesterday in Blount
county.
They first went to Sevierville, and
from there they went with their guide
some nineteen miles, just over the
line into Blount county, into branch
of Miller's Cove, about twenty-five
miles from Knoxville. The still they
were after was on a place belonging
to one Steve Gibson, about mile
from where Deputy Taylor recently
rsided two other stills. The still,
however. was operated by one O. M.
Thompson, late of North Carolina,
where he is said to be wanted on a
charge Of murder.
Gibson and Thompson are counted
as "terrors" among those living in
their section of Blount county, and it
appears they had all their neighbors
successfully bluffed into silence. The
officers were warned that the men
were desperate and that they should
take twenty men with them if they
expected to make'a success of the
raid and secure the two men, who
would surely die with their boots on.
The officers, however, had deal
with that sort of people before. Be.
sides, whole communities sometime.
stand in with the moonshiners in theil
midst, and the officers did not know
but this was one Of those cases, es
pecially since two stills had only lately
been raided in the same cove.
So in the dense darkness of tht
night they went to Gibson's house
Two men went in at one door of tn,
house and two at the other door
Gibson's wife was the first to discove
themtand gave the alarm, "the raid
ers!' AS Allison and Park went il
on Thompson he was in the. act 0
reaching for his Winchester, but tn
boys laid their guns on him and toll
him to stop-and he stopped, just a
the right time. Both men were hand
cuffed, and then the officers followe,
well worn path to the still, whicl
was up among dense laurel. The
destroyed the still and some 600 gal
Ions of beer and cut up the tubs.

Well Known Man Gone.

Rev: A. B. Wright passed away
quite Unexpectedly at his home in
this place last night. He had been
sick ever since he was thrown from
his horse several weeks ago, and last
Saturday he was attacked by bilious
fever, which complicated matters and
weakened him very much. On Tues
day night he was Frustrated very sud-
denly, and last night second attack
of the same sort resulted fatally with
out an instant's warning.
His son, w. D. Wright, and daugh-
ter, Mrs. Tobias Peters, and F.. H..
Dunning were with him at the end.
His eldest son, J. c. Wright, who
had been here to see him, had left in
the afternoon for home, but was re-
called by telegraph and returned this
morning accompanied by the other
son, T. A. Wright. The funeral will
be held Saturday at II o'clock in the
M. E. Church, interment will take
place at Mt. Vernon with Masonic
honors, the deceased being an es-
teemed member of that organization.
Mr.. Wright was probably better
known throughout this section thar
any other man III it. He was born in
Fentress county in 1896, and has
been engaged in the service of the
Lord since his 22nd year, and ha:
preached in nearly every church ir
Morgan, Fentress, Scott, Anderson
Oyerton, Pickett, Roane and Cum
berland counties. He was alst
county clerk of Fentress county 70
four years. A widow, three sons ant
one daughter survive him. An ex
tended obituary notice will be pub
lished next week.-Sunbright Dis

is for Joseph, the stick Of Ephraim.
If the latter is not the Book OF Nor
mon, as the Later Day Saints claim,
will the learned Professor please tell
which book it is, as the Bible and Tcs-
lament both are record OF the Jews.
The Book of Mormon coming out Of
the ground and speaking low out Of
the dust is in fulfillment of Isaiah,
a9th chapter and 4th verse. A copy
of part of the characters and transla-
ton of the said book was taken by
Martin Harris to Prof Charles An
thon, of New York. He said they
were ancient Egyptian characters and
that they were translated correctly.
He also gave certificate to that ef-
feet. He then asked the said Harris
how Joseph Smith knew the plates
were there. He told him an angel
gave them to him. Prof. Ahthon
asked for the certificate and tore it up
saying: "The time of angels is past.
Bring them to me and will translate
them" The young man told him
part Of them were sealed and that he
could not bring them. Mr.. Anthon
then said, 81 cannot read sealed
book" in fulhlfment of Isaih, 2oth
chapter and nth and nth verses.
Mr.. Bartlett accuses Mormonism Of
being the greatest delusion that ever
seized the mind of man. | am not
surprised at this statement, as that
was what was said of the same. doc
trlne that We preach in the days of
Christ and his Apostles. He said
they hated me and they will hate you.
One thing sure, if Mormonism is
delusion it will never be proven by
the Bible. Respectfully,

COLLEGE NOTES.


Miss Gusta Muecke, who has been
at home for week on account other
mothers illness, returned last week.
Miss Breta Wheeler marticulated
last week and is now an inmate Of
Baldwin Hall. We are inform ed
also that Miss Cordie Young will stay
in the Hall.
Last Friday night the fair sisters Of
Baldwin gave the dwelers on the
Hill serenade. The good old Cos
pei hymns and spiritual songs filled
the usually silent vespers of the night
with melody divine.
The music rendered by the College
Quartette lart Sunday night at the
joint Y. M. c. A. meeting deserves
special mention. From the attention.
of the audience we judge that it was
well received and appreciated by all.
AT last, aher many weary days Of
waiting, we can announce the second
college sociable of the year, which
will be on Friday evening Of this
week. Since the electric lights have
cclipsed the ''moon" on College Hill,
so that it no longer sends forth with
its wonted regularity its mellow
beams, these occasions are hailed
with unusual delight.
Whe are informed that young gen.
tleman applied for the position of as
sistant bell ringer, but his first attempt
was so disastrous, both to the bell
and to himself, that we think he must
be little out of practice. In fran
tic effort to adjust himself to the stu
alton he threw the bell out of position
and both came down with crash.
Happily no serious injury resulted
either to the bell or to the ringer.
We suppose the young gentlemen is
accustomed to Chicago bellies, whose
foundations are large and not easily
disturbed. -..e-s s--
The foot ball game between THE
University and home teams came off
Saturday afternoon, the result being
80 points were made by the Univer-
sity team and several black eyes and
broken noses by both sides. Ourboys
showed pluck and plenty of strength,
but were lacking in skill and mean
tricks. 1t is not wise to challenge a
trained team after having practiced
only week without trainer. Haste
makes waste. If our boys had put of
challenging until they were better
trained and accustomed to the game,
doubtless we would have played the
visiting team close game. The Uni
versity and Emory and Henry teams
will play at Knoxville Saturday.
