CHAPTER vi,

What q scream Of joy the dear girl
gave when she caught sight of him, and
with what glad shout he answered it!
And his next ''hurrah" was for me as
entered the door behind her.

over his brow slowly and moaned: GOOD

Taking his sister by the shoulders and
raising her from his shoulder, where she
had hidden her weeping face, he fixed
his gaze intently upon her countenance,
muttering to himself: Eyes, 1t is Celia:
it is Celia. Yet she said rs monthsr"
Suddenly look Of anxiety swept over
his expressive countenance, and he cried:
"And Annie-my Annie! Tell me
about her"
'She is here, Harold" answered Celia.
"Here" he exclaimed, attempting to
rise.
She put her hand upon his breast and
pressed him down. while opened the door
Tor Miss Bunker, who had been waiting
outside. Then there were two more rap
turous cries, and again the lucky young
fellow was folded in the arms of beau

different to our presence:
"Oh. Harold, my darling. how good

1t is estimated that Yakima county
has 100000 tied upin wool, for which
there is no present market. 1t is
stated there are no local quotations
whatever, and that it is doubtful if s
cents would induce buyers to come
down with the coin. This is due, says
the Yakima Herald, TO the present fin
ancial stress, ON account of which
manufacturers are buying very closely
and only As their needs demand. This
is true also in respect to beef and
hops, although the value of the latter
remaining in the county is only about
$4,000.

regarded as a great natural curiosity, no
attempts were made to give it an accu-

The S. +. Examiners appeal to the
churches on this Coast to enlighten
their Eastern brethren on the evils Of
Chinese immigration has met with
occasional responses, although not as
many as We could have wished. One
of the best was published in that
paper over the signature OF Rev. c. A.
Buckbee. Mr.. Buckbee takes a
thoroughly enlightened American and
Christian view of the situation. "The
Geary law" he says, was measure
of the highest patriotism; its enact
ment, | believe was never intended by
Congress to be hardship to those
Chinese now here, but rather pro-
lection. They had a whole year TO
become registered; they refused to re-
spect the law, and now they are here
on suiierance only. If it depended
on me would make the law effective
by deporting the known bad men
among them. That would show 10
the better class OF Chinese that our
laws must be obeyed. Then as an act
OF grace l would recommend Congress
to extend the time for those to regis
ter who have not done so, and further,
| would ask Congress to set aside ST.
OOO,O 600. more or less, to deport any
who might finally prove recreant."
Mr.. Buckbee's conclusions are the
result of an experience OF quarter of
a century among the Chinese. We
commend them to those Eastern
apostles of righteousness whose
knowledge of the subject they dogma
tise about i, derived from each others
sermons

Mrs. Craig is Il good-looking blonde,
weighs 100 pounds and formerly ac-
companied her husband in the role Of
snake charmer as "Zola Ayres."
When asked how long they had been
married, she laughingly remarked that
they were first married in 1882, but
they were just now enjoying their sec
ond honeymoon, as they were divorced
in January and remarked but a couple
OF weeks ago. Mr.. Craig explained
the trouble, stating that his wife had
expressed dosiro to learn fashionable
dressmaking, and that he objected.
She applied Tor divorce; it was grant
ed, and she went to Terra Haute and
learned her trade. She then returned
home and they were remarked. Mr..
Craig has been all over Europe and in
every important city in the world.
They went from here to Dayton, where
Mrs. Craig was born and raised.

Our school will undoubtedly begin
one of its best years September A. Not
withstanding the hard times, men are
going to send their children to school
here because it does not require much
money. We have one of the cheapest
schools in East Tennessee. A pupil
can enter the highest grade and count
ing board and all, his expenses will not
exceed s ITO. The lower the grade the
less the expense. Persons who have
never sent here will get a reduction of
one third on their tuition. W. most
emphatically say we can save you mon
ey by sending here. AS to the kind of
school we have, we have nothing to
say. We let the work speak for itself.
Students who had thought of going
somewhere else when they heard our
offer decided to come to Jonesboro.
We hope those who are expecting to
send to school somewhere will first con-
slider our offer. I shall take pleasure
in giving any information with regard
to the school.

HARMONY.

Being a reader of the Tribune and
seeing nothing in the paper from this
section of country, perhaps a few items
will be read with delight by the read
ers of the county paper. The recent
showers Of rain will be a great help to
the corn, as now is a time when corn
needs rain. Almost all the farmers
are blowing for wheat, and some talk
of sowing a large crop. 1t seems as
though they do not care whether grain
brings any price or not, they will raise
it all the same. W. ]. Lewis returned
home last Saturday from a trip to Sui
livan Co., and Scott Co. Va. He has

day for Erwin. to attend the Holston
