MaryylIle Honored.

We notice with pleasure that our
fellow townsman, Jo Burger, hss
been elected one Of the directors of
the Third National Bank, of Knox

Burger well deserved, and one of
which he may well be proud, coming
as it does from one of the most con-
servative and strongest banks in East
Tennessee He has had large and
long experience in banking, being
now the cashier of the Bank Of Mary
vile, and really having had more to
do than any other in build up that in
stitution, so that IN thus honoring him
we fell that Maryville is alss hon
orcd.

A Revival.

A revival meeting began at Rocky
Hill Baptist Church Jan, 9TH. The
church is about seven miles west of
Knoxville. The interest is the great
est ever known here, There has
been ten conversions, and on the
night Of the nth there were thirty
mourners. The people of the sur
rounding country for miles are taking
great interest in the meeting. The
meeting is being conducted by the
blacksmith preacher, and of course
everybody who knows him knows
there is great work going on. 1t is
expected that there will be a goodly
number of conversions before the
meeting closes, at which time a full
report Of the good work will be given.

Biology.

The natural sciences, as compared
with the science of Mathematics, of
Reasoning, of Mental and Moral
Philosophy, and kindred sciences,
in point of date, may be re-
garded as the new sciences. Just a
few centuries ago mans knowledge Of
Physics, Physiology, Botany, Zoo
ology, and Biology was extremely
limited. In fact, it was not further
back than the seventeenth century
that science began its work in earnest
to bring to light the mysteries Of
nature, which had so long been con
cealed by the mist of ignorance and
superstition. 1t was Francis Bacon
who proclaimed the importance Of ex
perience and experiment in the search
for knowledge. As one instrument

To Texas.

Mr.. G. B. Clark, formerly of this
county, but now of Itasca. Texas. has
been spending few weeks visiting
old friends and relatives in this part
of the globe. All who knew Mr..
Clark were glad to see him again. He
has been reading the TINES ever since
he left Tennessee, and said it is still
a most welcome visitor.
D. r. Kegley is another Blount
countian whose friends were glad to
welcome him back from the "wild
and woody west" to spend few
weeks visiting childhood scenes. Mr..
Kegley formerly lived near Carpen-
ter's Camp Ground. OF course he
called at the TINES office and renewed
his subscription, for he likes to know
the changes going on in his old home.
P. P. Miser has been out in Texas
for few months looking over the
country with view of locating in the
clone Star" State. He has decided
to make his home at Waxhachia, and
has been at his former home near
Miser's Station winding up his busi-
ness affairs and preparing to leave
this county for good. He left the
first of last week. Mr.. Miser was
prominent republican of our county,
and has for some years been a men,
Der of the county court. While we
regret to loose him, we wish him sue.
cess in his new home. The TINES is
to keep him informed Of how Blount
is going.

Last week the College received of
Mrs. Bates, of Rochester, N. Y, a
collection Of geological specimens
valued at one hundred dollars. The
collection consists of several hundred
specimens, all well formed and sharp
ly defined This contribution not

cilities for experiment and practical
study greatly enlarged. We reel
Science Hall equipped with apparatus
for individual work. A course of
scientific lectures would add much to
the interest Of this department on the
part of student and create a love of
scientif truth. A special scientific
course would add much to the sue
cess of the college and meet long
felt want in this section Of tie coun-
try. There are too few specialists in
this line Of study to meet the demands
of the times. Let the students Of M.

A SMOKING TREE.
A Wopd~r of North Carolina Turns
Out TO Be a Distillery Chimney.
From the Philadelphia Press

FROM lne Rnllauolphla Press.
Abbeyille, n. c., Sept. 23.--About one
year ago there was considerable curiosity
concerning a smoking tree said to be in
the Pisgah range Of mountains and about
twenty miles from this place.
The story as told was that n very large
chestnut tree, which appeared TO be per
fectly sound, every now and then was
seen TO emit smoke among the branches
toward the top A number of persons
went out and witnessed the Thenomenon
but could not explain the appearance of
the smoke. The tree was firmly embed
ded in the ground. There was no sign
that it was hollow.
A few days ago A. A. Vanderford, q
revenue agent, was here and he heard of
the smoking tree. He said he would
solve the mystery. So he disguised him
self and drove out and looked around and
made an examination as others had done
He carried with him long, slender iron
rod and as he walked around the tree he
probed the ground. He widened his dis
tance from the chestnut and extended the
circle around until he got about 100 yards
away IRON tae tree. AT one point his rod
struck a wooden surface.
Nanderford then stopped his search and
marked this place and came back here
and went 10 Hendersonvil From there
next IOFuluB ne lBlb dGdlu IOr BlSpal,
rigged out as a revenue agent and accom-
panied by half do en- raiders, all armed
to the teeth When they got to the tree
Vanderford found the marked spot and
there he and his men commenced to dig
away the earth. In a short tine they
came to a tunnel walled up and an en-
trance sufficient for four men to walk
abreast.
Vanderford and his men with their
gurs cooked, followed the tunnel until
they were near where the tree was stand
ing Here they found a room about fifty
feet square and therein was moonshine
distillery in full blast, and an old man,
Amos Owens, the chief moonshiner Of
the region, lying down asleep Wander
ford touched him and Amos woke up
and recognized his captor, having been
frequently arrested by Vanderford
Owens rubbed his eyes and said Il ex-
pected ye. l knew yesterday ye were
prodding about here"
So the mystery of the smoking tree
was explained. u was hollow and the
cave was dug out and the tree was
used as the chimney for the moonshine
