The editor of the Shelby Ne,OS pays
himself high compliment in his last
issue, and pats himself on the back
real heartily. He says: SHELBY has a
young married man who neither chews,
smokes, drinks nor swears, and has
quit drinking tea or coffee. He is a
nice fellow socially, and don't belong
to church either" The girls down our
way are all sorry you are married, Evert,
and they are a unit in the opinion that
you are "lovely," and "just too sweet
for anything" Do you part your hair
in the middle? How often do you
change your hose? How long do you
expect to remain at your present gait
Have you forgotten that the good die
young? Oh, We'll weep at the funeral,
my dear boy?-A0oca Record.

The Fiscus Pig Forceps.

Among newly invent
ed articles of the past
year, now placed in the
general market for the
first time, none COM
mandS more attention
from farmers and stock
men than the Pig For
ceps patented by Adam
FiScus, of Douglas

An instrument of this
kind is not only desire
able and useful to the

absolute necessity to the
man who cares for and
values his choice brood

AS to description, lit

in construction the Fis-

of light yet strong
material and of such
size as to be most con-

use.
While other instru

May | never from thee stray,
Around mt rolls deaths chilly sea.

Let me wake safe beyond the tide,
And then | shall be satisfied.
My life will soon be ended,
And I've laid my armor down;
shall oon go home rejoicing,
Life eternal is my labor's crown.
Never faiter, my dear companion,

When death at last you've vanquished
You will rest with me on high.

Boys, if you're tired and worn,
Work and study a little longer.
If your hands by thorns be torn,
Hold on a little longer.
If your heart be aching sore.
Do courage up a little longer;
A grander day is just before,
Continue the fight a little longer.
Little by little go higher still,
Work and climb little longer;
With success your heart shall thrill,
Watch and pray a little harder.
Don't be droning through the land,
Sing and laugh a little stronger;
Follow the noble, the golden plan,
Honest and true a little longer.
Oh. wont this make you stronger?
No more Affections, no more pain,
In the end you will gain;
You can shine in life's diadem,
Only by courage, pluck and vim.
HurIah, hurrah, boys, peace and joy;
If your mind you'll brightly trim;
Three cheers for the honest boy,
Who shows courage, pluck and vim.
You're not forgotten, my lady friend,
Angels beckon you from the skies;
For you await Heaven end,
For boys or girls that honestly tries.

School closed last Friday; the exer.

were very nice. Old Uncle Joe Mooney
gave the young people of Whitesburg
and vicinity an Easter party Saturday
night. 1t was largely attended and all
seemed to enjoy themselves very much;
eggs were served in many different

was very good, and the young members
of that church deserve much credit for
the manner in which they conducted it.

NINE bulletins of evidence taken in
the gubernatorial election investiga-
ton have been printed.
THE testimony set down in those
nine bulletins is misleading in many re-
spects, and partisanism and one sided
ness glare on every page from beginning
to end .'-Nashville Banner.
Scores of instances occur where Mr..
Evans attorneys made objections to
rulings; and more particularly offered
and attempted to prove facts often in
rebuttal of testimony, but were pre-.
vented from doing 80 by the ruling of
the chair. In such cases no note is
taken of these attempts or objections
by Mr.. Evans attorneys in the printed
testimony and the m%isprinted testimo-
ny would lead members of the Legisla-
ture to believe that statements not dis.
proved or objected to, were quietly ad.
mitted by Mr.. Evans. Such is the ex-
tent to which the gang went, that even
their printed testimony is incorrect and
unreliable. Chattanooga Press.

NOISY CREEK.

One beautiful morning, not long
since, just as the great illuminary Of
the solar system was vending his way
above the Eastern horizon, we were
strOlling about on a little hill, from
whence our eyes could behold the wide
fields and the beautiful forests for a
great distance. While at this place our
mind began to ponder on the wonders
OF nature. What great changes nature
has wrought in the past few months.
The fields which a few months ago
seemed to be robbed by bleak winter, Of
all vegetation, are now dressed in
green. The beautiful birds, instead of
hopping around on the frozen ground,
hunting a few morsels of something to
eat to keep them from starving, were
this morning fitting from tree to tree
warbling their sweet songs of praise to
the great King who has kept them alive.
The trees which were from all outward
appearance without a sign of life are
putting forth their buds and dressing
in another color. Behold how the hand
of nature can change everything in a
few flying hours. Casting our eyes in
a certain direction we beheld a scene
which reminded us boyhood days. But
instead of four being in the field there
were only two. And what were they
doing? Planting corr When | was a
boy it always took four and sometimes
five to plant corn; one would take old
Charley and a pillow and furrow off the
ground. another with a basket or bucket
of corn on his arm would follow, and,
with his hand, drop the corn into the
furrow. Then came the boys part;
that was to take an old hoe, the edge
of which was sometimes "as dull az a
frow" and cover the corn. But some
me has been so wise as to invent a ma.
chine, by the use of which most of this
labor can be avoided. Well, to change
the subject. The school at the above
place is moving along nicely, but why
need it do anything else. With Prof.
j. 7. Henderson in the lead, aided by a
corps of the most energetic, enthusiastic
teachers in the State, we see no need of
the cause of education suffering. Two
hundred and thirty five students have
been enrolled during the present term;
most of which are here yet. Seventeen
of these are from Washington County.
Commencement exercises will begin
Wednesday, May 30. DR.. France, of
New York, will deliver the Baccalau-
reate sermon. DR.. AGREE will preach a
sermon for the Y. NJ. c. A. Other ex-
ercises and addresses will be given, but
we will not make note of them. We
hope to see a goodly number of our
Washington County friends present at
these exercises. Revs. 7. r. WAGNER,
of Athens, ard I. T. Tompson, of Nash
vile, were with us in chapel Tuesday
morning. Brother Thompson preached
in the Baptist Church Wednesday night.

n mile west of Alton, all the coaches
leaving the track except the hind one.
But few passengers were aboard, and
none of them were hurt. The engine
rolled down an embankment, injuripg
the fireman slightly, but the engineer,

that he died Sunday morning. He was
an old employe of the road, and was

AT last there is a prospect that Ten.

thing. The following was passed by

day, as special order for the day, and
reads as follows:
ITO prevent the catching of fish in
any of the lakes, rivers, ponds or creeks

rod and line or trot line was taken up.
The bill was drafted by the agricultur.
al committee and recommended by it
for passage. For ordinary violations
of the law the penalty is a fine of from
$40 to 800, but for the use of dynamite
or poison the penalty is fixed at six
months in the county Jail; all funds
arising from this source are to 20 to the
school fund. 1t is provided in the bill
that minnows not over four inches long
may be caught in a dip net for bait"

The following noble little poem Is
very much to the point just now; it
was written by DR.. j. G. Holland, and
was first published in 1885:
God give us men. A time like this demands
Strong minds, great hearts, true faith and
ready hands;
Men whom the lust of Office does not kill;
Men whom the spoils of office can not buy
Men who possess opinions and a will;
Men who have honor; men who will not lie
Men who can stand before a demagogue
And damn his treacherous batteries without
winkIng;
Tall men, suncrowned, who live above the
fog,
In public duty and in private thinking.
For while the rabble, with their thumbworn
creeds,
Their large professions add their little deeds,
Mingles in selfish strife, 10; Freedom weeps,
Wrong rules the land and waiting Justice
sleeps.
