How You Can Pay.

We now have room for a few cords
of fourteen inch wood, for which we
will allow $I.oo. Now is the time
for those who have spoken to us
about furnishing wood to bring it in.
We cannot take much, as our shed is
nearly full, but those who come first
will be accommodated. We have
also made arrangements whereby we
can take wheat and corn at the mar
ket price, SO if we can't get the cash
come along and we will exchange.
We do not make habit of this, as it
makes considerable more work for
us, but we will do it to accommodate
our readers during these hard times.
We will also accept few bushels of
sweet potatoes and some meat. Now
we have made it as easy as we can
for you to pay up, and would like
for all who owe US to come and settle
at once. If old scores are not settled
in some way by Jan. Ist we will have
to discontinue some papers and place
accounts IN the hands of a collector.
We cannot afford to carry such a
load of back subscribers.

A Pleasant Time.

A pleasant and profitable time is
reported at the teachers normal last
Friday at the Forest Hill Church.
This was the normal for the teachers
OF the 9Th 9th and 10Th districts.
The public schools at this place and
all the schools in the above named
districts were closed that day and
there was full attendance. Nothing
is more profitable than for teachers to
get together and exchange views and
methods and we are glad to note that
Normals seem popular among the
teachers of our county.

A week In the Mountains.

The following composed crowd
that spent week hunting in the
mountains: DR.. James Martin, Alex
Gamble, James Harmon, David Po-
land, Bud Hitch, Andy Whitehead
and sons Harvey and Will, Able Car
penter, Jas. Mccoy, Lee Razor, and
the publisher of this paper
and son, Clyde. The crowd landed
in the place known as Jeffry's He'll
after two days journey, about IS or
20 miles of which had to be travelled
on foot as team could not be taken
into the mountains. A deer drive
was the program for the first day and
this resulted in the killing Of two
deer and quite an assortment of SPUR
rels and mountain ''boomers. Some
of the "boomers" were dressed and
some were put in the pot whole. AZ
ter everyone had satisfied their hum
ger Mr.. Harmon concluded he would
have some more of the mess and hap
pened to pull out one of the whole
ones. When he saw its condition he
concluded he didn't care for any more
boomer" and remarked that he was
glad he hadn't eaten any of that meat.
The old saying "Good beginlng, bad
ending" proved true in this case for
no more deer were killed during the
hunt. Several bears were heard, but
as there were no bear dogs along
none of the crowd felt disposed to in
vestigate very closely. There is an
immense amount Of valuable timber
in these mountains. There'are cher.
ry trees-so the crowd says-six feet
through and from sixty to seventy-fve
feet to the first limb. Any amount
of yellow popular, spruce pine and
ash. One curly ash was seen that
was estimated as being worth five
hundred dollars if it could have been
cotton out of there. Gamble killed
a ratler which had swallowed a full
grown grey squirrel and that about
ended the excitement. When one
gets to the bottom of Jeffrey it looks
like it would be impossible to gel
out gain, but after staying there
and breathing good pure mountain
air for six days it made the crowd.

Death of a Good Man.

Last Wednesday, James A. Ruble,
died at his residence in the 10th civil
district of this county, at the ripe age
of 50. He had resided there since
soon after the close of the war, and
served term as justice of the peace
in the district. He came there from
Bradley county. He was for many
long years member of and an exort-
err and class leader in the Methodist
Episcopal church. He was devout
Christian, enjoying the esteem and
unlimited confidence of every one
who knew him. His life and exam
pie was such that no one ever thought
about calling in question his
honesty and integrity as a Christian
or man. A plain farmer, modest in
his ambition, gentlemanly always,
he was man, in the best and highest
sense Of the term. When he was
laid in his grave Thursday, Knox
county lost one Of her best citizens.
