wait until his guests have finished be-

he will have an abundance of the best

incest and best OF style, at that.
Thad. Cox is now besieged by what
appears to be the daddy OF all smiles.
It has grabbed him all over the face,
and he makes no resistance; on the
contrary, he seems to have yielded
himself willing victim. From pres

Sparks chose from among the fair

down the checkered journey OF life,
imparting sympathy, lifting the
dark clouds, making sunshine in their
stead along his pathway, and ever
pointing out the "silver lining" which
wifely devotion and pure love never
fails to find in times of adversity. Yes,
Frank is now abenedict. He enrolled
his name upon tho list last Thursday
evening in Bristol. The notion of
marrying has fitted through Franks
brain for the past six or eight months.
In its sportive glee it "took tumble"
and lodged in his heart, where it cut
capers and frolicked until finally 1t
was practically put to the test and
carried into execution. In conse'
ouence, Frank is a real, live husband
as we'll as the happiest young man in
North America. He is one OF johnson

Fire at Bristol.

BRISTOL, March 19.-This morning
at 4 AS o'clock, the house OF John II.
Guntner who lives on 7th street, just
south of E. w. Kings was seen to be
on fire and the alarm was given. In s
minutes the fire company was on the
ground, but the fire had gained such
headway before the alarm was given
that It was impossible to save the
building from destruction, although
the company worked herolcally anc
manfully. So it was buraed to The
ground except the shell of the house
which was SO damaged as to be use
less. The origin of the fire in unknown
as none of the family was up At th'
time the fire broke out, which was Il
tie rear of the, in or about the kitch
en-. The furniture from one ron
Gully was saved. The houee was II
sured for $500 and the Household
goods for an equal amount.

SENSATIONAL ARREST.
Charles Phillips and Alexander Camp
bell Charged With Firing w. o.
Phillips Saloon.

Quite sensation was produced last
week by the arrest of Charles Phillips
and Alexander Campbell on warrant
of the insurance company charging
them with setting fire to the saloon
and billiard room of W. 0. Phillips
on railroad street March the 9th.
That the torch was applied by some
one, there is no doubt, but whether the
right parties have been apprehended. or
not, remains to be seen. The parties
who worked up the case claim that
they have ample proof against the sus-
poets to let the insurance company out
and probably enough to convict them
OF arson. The boys, however, claim
that they knew nothing at all about
the fire until they were aroused by the
shouts of the fremen. Both waived
the right to q preliminary trial and
were bound over to court in bond OF
$4,000, which was promptly given.
Phillips is q brother of W. 0. Phil
lips, who owned both the stock and
building, and had charge OF the busi'
ness when the fire occurred.

allowed it to leak out that he had
hought five pints OF Haney. OF course
Doc was brought along in order to
convict, and he gave bright promise Of
reaching the most sanguine expecta'
tons OF those interested in the prose
cutlon. But, to say that they were
di.app inted in Doe, would be putting
it mildly. He told the marshal fifteen
minutes before ,he trial that he had
bought lots Of whisky of the defend"
ant ia the case. The CONSERVATION of
the marshal can we'll be imagined
when Doc was called to the stand and
promptly swore that he had never
bought drop Of liquor from Haney
in his life
"Why, didn't you tell me not more
than fifteen MINUS ago that you had
bought three hall.pints three different
times, aud paid for it?" asked the as
tonished marshal
"Yes," said the witness, "but l wat
talkin' then; I'm swearin' now"
1t was hard to to tell who it was on
but there was certainly laugh. Com
missioner Mathes acquitted the de
fendant and refused to allow th

"MOONSHINE" PEDDLERS
Are Having q Hard Time to Keep Out
of Trouble in These Lat
ter DAYS.

The we'll directed energy OF the rev.
enue officers are making the way Of
the "moonshine" vendors extremely
rough in this end OF the state. Last
Monday week Henry Ray, deputy
marshal, arrested Lawson Miller and
Wheeler Lediord, who have been op'
Grating along the Garter county line.
They we're tried before Commissioner
Folsom, Of El1zabethron, and bound
over TO court. The bond, which was
fixed at $1,000, was given.
Jocob Broyles, OF Nolachucky, had
warrant sworn out for him because
he had been trying to make q living
by accommodating his neighbors with
little of the song-inspiring noun
tain dew. He accepted an unsough
introduction to Marshal Ray last Sat
urday, and was induced by the latte
to visit Johnson City, and while here
as a matter of courtesy, he called upo1
Commissioner Mathes Saturday. Th
interview was very binding, and, whel
1t was ended, Mr.. Broyes felt obligate
to the amount Of $1,000, which hi
friends promised to forfeit in case h
should be sent for and could not b
found.

COX.-BrOWnlOW,

The charge that the present board

for it from the day 1t was sworn into

pay $4,000 for a $4,000 house. If we
