LOCUST MOUNT.

Snow and sleigh riding is the order
Of the day. The health of our quiet
village is good at this writing. Ben
White has returned from North Caro-
lima, and brought with him about
seventy head of cattle. Gabe Sylves-
ter and Prof. Eugene Barnes, both of
Keebler's X Roads, were visiting rela-
tives and friends of the village the 14th.
Nelson Walker, one of Locust Mounts
prominent young men, was visiting
our hustling merchant, w. H. Syl-
v%ester, Sunday. Jack Campbell is in
the South with a drove of mules; may
success be his reward. We were quite
surprised one evening not long since
to see one of our old bachelors escort
ing q young lady home from Chaly-
beate springs. 1t seemed as if he had
been lying torpid for some time. We
had the pleasure of visiting the closing
exercises of the Berea school the 7th,
in the Fourteenth District, and we are
glad to admit that Prof. Eugene Barnes,
principal, ably assisted by James Keef-
auver, have had a model school; they
are we'll qualified for the position which
they have held for the last five months,
and are we'll up with the times that
constitute successful teachers. We
spent all the afternoon in listening to
the Rotations of the different grades,
and we are satisfied no teacher in the
county has done more honorable work.
1t should not only be a compliment,
but an honor to any board of directors
and patrons to have such teachers in
their schools a, Profs. Barnes and
| Keefauver. FIDUs.
School closed at Chalybeate last Fri
day night with an exhibition. The ex.
%ercises were good, the audience and the
order large and commendable. Profs.
Shipley and Wilcox have done a mer.
itorious work at this place. Married
Thursday, Phillip Sellers to Miss Sallie
Walker; Rev. VIM. Brown officiating,
VIM. Walker 10 Miss Katie Shipley
Esq. Mitchell officiating. Success to
each couple is the wish of Uncle Fuller
From what we have heard, seems like
some of the boys had plotted to strange
the exhibition at Morning Star. We
have sympathy for the good people o.
that section and look with disfavor or
the blood thirsty, law defiant savage
whose objectis not %consonant with Law
and order, but antagonistic to modern
civilization. Miss Ida Shipley, of Sui
Ivan County, accompanied by 7. S
Shipley, visited the tent Of the writer
Friday. Those who visited the humbl,
cabin of the writer, were B. Shipley
Clemette Shipley, of Buffalo Ridge, NJ
Kettle Upton, M. j. and E. A. R. Bow
ser, Will Shipley, Misses NJ, j. Tadlocl
and Cora Shipley, Lum Tadlock, Jaco'
Shipley, G.. G.. Xix, II. Steadman ant
Sam Boyer, of Sullivan. G. F. Sylves
ter, of Keebler's Y Roads, was visiting
friends in this section the past week
Dick Leah will soon complete his cours
of study; he's selected a bright polio,
by acquiring knowledge. Our genia
friend, DR.. B. F. Lyon, a simon pur
Democrat is boarding with Commits
sioner Lloyd, where ten of Tennessee
Republican legislators are boarding
he's in good protective society. ID
thinks the trouble over the Governor
ship will soon be quelled, and II. Cla
Evans proclaimed Governor OF Tenne'
see.
Respond so mote it be,
The glory Of Tennessee.
