Cook and Dove, the Purchasers, Bid
$2,475.

The Bristol Daily Ne1US was sold at
public auction Saturday afternoon in
accordance with a decree of the Hus-
tings court, to satisfy various claims
against the paper.
The bidding was stOrted at $400 by
w. H. Tomney, of the Glade Spring
Citizen. A. G. Smith raised the bid to
$500. The highest bid made by Mr..
Tomney was 1915, and from that on
the bidding was between A. G. Smith
and G. B. Cook. For half an hour
Auctioneer Venable kept the bidding
up between these two gentlemen,
jump of $25 being made at each bid.
The bidding ran up to $2,475, when
the paper was knocked off to .. 3.
Cook, The figures are several hun

but it seemed that both bidders were
not lacking in tenacity.

The DIvlnest Thing in Childhood.

The very finest expression on the
tace OF child or infant seems TO me
to be that Of open eyed and often
openmouthed curiosity and wonder.
The objects OF nature charm and en-.
trance the soul, which for the moment
becomes almost one with the face.
This divinest thing in childhood which
only bad school metho Ia can kill
which prompts the primeval expert
ments of infants in learning to use
their limbs and minds upon nature,
is the roof OF the spirit of research,
which explores, prizes, inquiries so per-
sistently, and often SO destructively
in older children, and comes ~ full
maturity in the investigator behind
the telescope or microscope, in the
laboratory, seminary, library, or or
exploring expeditions. At its best
this spirit OF ressa ch has awe and rev
erence enough in it to give it high
and positive religious character, and
the best and most characteristic fea
ture about the new movement in high
or education | am trying to describe
is that it's upward tendencies can bes
be characterized by the word ere

praised than understood-PreSiden

LITERARY NOTES.
Excess Of Genius In Cattle Brand.

Old Dad Morrison, who used to have
his headquarters on Buck Creek, Bris-
coe equity, in the Texas Panhandle,
found how Improbable it is to be su-
perior to one's associates; he suffered
the discomfort and tasted the pains
that wait on originality.
The brand which his triumphant
fancy had achieved was a Stacking
rudime ntary human figure, such as
infancy draws upon its slate at school,
above the fond legend, "This Is
man."
The boys welcomed and loved it.
They christened it the Dollbaby
brand; and its proprietor thereafter
reioiced in the sObriquet OF Dollbaby
Morrison.
1t was running brand, and old
Dad was apt, in the storm and stress
of sketching it with a red hot iron
upon an unconsenting and recusant
yearling, to draw the open circle
which represented head more like
horizontal oval. From this cranial ir-
regularity Of the miserable Dollbaby,
the cowboys came to refer to the Nor
rison cattle as "Old Dollbaby's Flat
heads"
When leisure and opportunity
served, they would rope and tie down
a Flathead or two, and dispose them
selves for an afternoons artistic en-
ployment and recreation. The blank
outline circle OF head would receive
a get of rude features, wearing an ex-
preston OF the utmost horror and de-
spair. Wildly protesting limbs would
be added to the simple parallelogrsm
Of torso, the arms thrust frantically
up, the legs on q dead run. And then
when the old man came upon his
Flatheads go improved" he would,

Some Eighth District Local History.

1t is with no little degree Of pleas
ure that we read the history Of our
country as chronicled in our CON-
mon school histories. When we
read Of the discovery Of America by
Columbus, the daring adventures of
John Smith with the Indians, or the
discovery Of gold in California by a
common day laborer, it thrills our
hearts with animation.
Yet there are many important
events ia the history of cur country
that very few know anything about.
For instance where was the first
permanent settlement in Washing
ton county, where is the oldest
house in the county, and many 9th
er similar questions of Importance
that could be asked concerning the
history of our county, yet very
flew OF us can answer them,
! 1t is Of the oldest settlement in
Washington county that l am going
to write.
Three miles West Of Johnson City
on the South side of the main road
leading to JonesborO, stands an ole
fashioned two-story log house, that
has been partly weatherboarded.
This is the eldest house now stand
iag in Washington co. This house
was built i'll the year 1779 by Adam
RAIDER, an emigrant from Virginia
Mr.. RAIDER was of the old Blacl
Dutch decent. He was a captain il
the Revolutionary war. 1t is sale
that he was whole-sOuled man, anC
treated all Of his friends with thu
kindest OF hospitality. After tn
war was over, and the victory won
he brought the soldiers entrusted t.
his care to his then palatial mansion
, and treated them as "a part of tn
family for more than week. Whel
the time of parting came he kisse'
: them good-by and then sank in grie
to the earth.
He was the father of three chi
dren, John Katie, and Elizabeth.
In the year 1891, John the Onl
