This is certainly good section for
the sale OF horses, as the Moody Bros
appear in our midst every little while
with drove from the west.
There is wood hauler in our midst
who drives pair of horses whose con-
dition makes i; cruelty TO call upon
them to pull even an empty wagon.
They should be gwen a chance TO nip
the green grass which nature is now so
abundantly furnishing. Unlock the
traces, likewise the breast straps, re-
move the harness and turn the horses
cut. They can't come it" in their
present fix, and you should not expect
them to.
Two or three weeks ago Turk and
bear, one leading the other, entered
Johnson City, and Uncle Tim Hickey
says Wade Whiteside joined them ald
made a trip through the south, taking
part in each and every exhibition, and
was an eager and willing performer,
until the Turk suggested that Wade
should wear muzzle the same AS his
fellow performer, the bear; but Wade
got back on his dignity and violently
Cbjt cted, and retired rom any further
connection with the show This ne.
cesstated return TO Johnson City
and cost Wade a chance to enjoy for a
time the salubrious climate of the sun
ny south.
Last Sunday morning at o'clock
few miles from Johnson City, Just
inside the Carter county line, having
nothing to shelter them save the broad,
blue vault of heaven, and while the
winds of March iuriously whistled
through the trees and shrubbery, the
hand and heart of Miss Lucy E. Crum-
ley were yielded up to Mr.. David A.
Taylor, Esquire Williams binding to-
gether and making the twain one in
the holy bonds of matrimony. Mr..
Taylor is a worthy young man of Car.
ter county, aud his bride is a young
lady of Washington county, popular
in her neighbCrhood and doubly worth
the winning. To brave such weather
as last Sunday was characterized by,
is conclusive evidence that the two
were terribly in earnest and stubbornly
meant business, and, we doubt rot,
have long ere this traded opinions as
to the prospects of the present crop
year.
Clifton Whiteside left johnson City
some three weeks ago and went to the
Woolly West, whether in search Of
wild ami exciting adventure or just
simply looking about Oh sort q
prospecting tour, he has not yet made
known. He returned one night last
week He had an elephant on his
hands while gone, but, like the boy
who picked up an attractive looking
piece OF red iron in blacksmith shop
be soon knew what to do with it-he
dropped it, OF course, and then came
home to resume his Old position-puIl
ing the bel.cords over the w. B
Whitesde line of road, which run,
from Cash Hollow to the stave factory
Pitch in, boys; get out your blood AM
thunder novels the sooner you Learn
the lesson Clif did, the better it vii
be for you and your parents Wei
bet that elf the Indian Terror
didn't evtn get on the trail of an III
dian, much less scalp a dozen or SO
which he left home to do.
At meeting of the Tammany Clul
in this city a resolution of thanks wa
voted, with request that it be for
warded to Mr.. w. H. Cooney, for leav
ing the Democratic party. His mani,
remuneration of Democracy and hi
espousal of the Republican cause
which found its way into the column
of the Stuff last week, was marvelou
, in the way of eloquence, diction ant
grammatical construction, and bear
conclusive evidence that the autho
thereof is eminently fitted to carry OF
his profession at the bar, a callin
which seems entirely natural witt
him. Now that Mr.. Cooney has en-
tered the Republican ranks, the Demo
cratic party will 60 down in absolut
dissolution. It's days are numbered
Times will now get better Mr.. Cooney
assisted by the Republican party, vii
cause to be obliterated and wiped GU
forever all traces of hard times, an,
the country, from the north to tn
{ south pole, will henceforth worship tn
name Of Mr.. Cooney. Goodbye, MI
Cooney.
In attestation of the consoling fac
that the good Lord "tempers the win,
, to the shorn lamb" we should not fai
70 keep in grateful remembrance tn
miidness of the winter of 1898 and '94
and the propitiousness Of the presen
spring, which is now fairly upon us
Dark forebodings never spring int
