wilt see the pint when give you the
mainest facts In tho case. Little Bunk
Weatherford has SOLID bis place to
Handy Stribblin and bought the old
Turner place where julie Eabors is now
livin. In the main time Handy Srib-
blin sold out to the Widder Drantly,
and the widder she rented her place out
to Tance Stringer. and so forth and so
on. Now Tance Stringer is crowdin the
widder, and the widder she is crowdin
Handy Stribblin, and Handy he is
crowdin Little Bunk Weatherford, and
little Bunk is crowdin julie Majors.
You see julie Nabors is at the head OF
the procession and holdin down the
whole shootin match. He is the onlyest
Third party man in the line, and TO
man on the fence or up tree it locks
like he won't move his pegs more for
pure cussedness than anything else.
Naturally of course it amt my
funeral, Rufe, but by gatlins the pro-
cession must proceed. 1t amt fair and
1t aint right for one sorry man like julie
Nabors to block up the business OF
settlement in that way. Little Bunk
and Handy and the widder and lance
Stringer are all ready to move and
dead crazy to start, and whilst
l amt got nothin particlar to do with
the case am sick and tired OF so many
people fussin and foolin and hddlin
around on account OF julie Nabors. From
last reports it seems as If julio has
rented land from old man Nose Tram
mel, and the onlyest reason he can give
in now for scotchin the procession is
that he can't get no wagon and team to
move with. That is the news that come
to me last night and ! am now on my
way to the hill country. When l get
there julie Majors he will move and the
procession will proceed" And Blew he
driv on.
1t vas after supper that night when
Blew come thunderin by on his return
back from the hill country, but helt
him up and got the latest news.
SPY gatlins, Rufe, 1 moved him and
the procession can now proceed in rcg-
lar order" says Blew. "Jule made out
like he want ready and tried his bland
est to turn me back. He took the studs
and bucked and kicked and snorted and
cavorted. But I told him it want no
use, had come over to move him, and
he had to move. / couldn't make that
long trip with four-mule team for
nothin, and dadburn him, moved him.
l know it want my funeral, and you
mought maybe say took up blame
fool notion, but it had to be did, Rufe-
it just simply had to be did"
l will leave it for you to say as to
whether Blew was right or wrong in
takin the job to move julie Nabcrs. And
1 will say that he was dead right about
one thing. 1t was my private opinion
that he had went and took up blame

Four Men Killed by an Explosion.

Knoxville, Dec 13.-By premature
explosion of powder and dynamite four
men were suddenly killed at LaFollette,
Campbell county, today. Four other
men are missing and their bodies are
being searched for in the mass of earth
and brick that was dislodged by the ex-
plosion. The dead are: Andrew Bates,
Neal Dabney, John Webb, - Price.
The explosion occurred on tho works
of the LaFollette railroad, near LaFol-
lette, where a new railroad is being pro-
iected from LaFollette to Jellco. A
large force of men were at work blast
ing for a cut Three kegs of powder
had been placed in sixteen-foot hole
and four sticks of dynamite were also
added to the deadly charge.
A fuse was attached to the powdir
and the men ran from the place to
safe distance to await the result. They
waited fourteen minutes and the charge
failed to go off. The men were then
ordered back into the hole to readjust
the fuse. They obeyed the order, all
being apparently satisfied that the fire
had become extinguished. Justas they
re-cntered the hole, however, the ter
rife explosion occurred and the earth
and stone for many yards around were
dislodged and thrown in conglomerate
mass with the remains of the unfortu-
nate victims.

The board Of education OF Hartman
have adopted the following resolutions:
Resolved, That the superintendent
be instructed to notify the schools that
any pupil found smoking during school
hours or on the way to or from school
will be expelled.
Resolved, further, That no pupil
known to be addicted to the cigarette
habit will be admitted to membership
in the public school"
This order caused quite commotion
among parents. One teacher said that
1t struck forcibly not less than fifty
boys who were pupils of the Central
School who are addicted to the habit.
The Hartman Progress says ''the
Chattanooga school board has taken like
action" and adds:
There is law against cigarettes
being sold to minors. Yet in this city
more boys are seen smoking cigarettes
than men. Boys who are not over or
0 years of age may be seen smoking the
little paper cigars. Somehow the deal
ers are never known to violate the law.
The boys undoubtedly obtain them

CHICAGO, Feb. 25.-Todays cattle mar
ket was marked by light receipts, a fair de-
mand and strengthening prices. Quiet 10
@15c per 100 pounds was added to the value
of the animals today, and the feeling at
prices. Exporters, eastern buyers, and
the dressed beef outfits were all fairly
free buyers. Extra 1850 to 1850 pound
steers were quoted up to $5.65M5. rs, and in
ferior cows sold around $1.60. From 81 to
s. bought the bulk of the steers, and the
prevailing prices for cows and bulls were
81. 25G3.50. Extra cows and heifers sold
around 81 There was a good inquiry for
feeding steers at So. 500425. There a
weaker market for the poorer class of
hogs. The receipts were large Good heavy
hogs were scarce, and that grade sold quite
as well on Saturday. While $435H
the highest price paid, there is little doubt
that $40 could have been obtained for
strictly prime AGO pound hogs.
Heavy and medium weights sold princi-
pally at $3.95d4.25, and from S3.SOa3.95
bought the bulk of the $50 to 200 pound
sold around $50, and culls were quoted at
$2.50M350
Sales Of sheep and lambs indicate
steady range of prices. There was a full
supply, but there was good buying both for
local and shipping account, and last weeks
prices were sustained. Sheep were salable

The Work He Does.

How much does a newspaper man write
in year? An old newspaper worker has
sat down and figured it out. He figures
that he writes an average of column and
half every day, except for his Sunday
paper, when he contributes three columns.
This makes II columns week, and, allow
ing for two weeks vacation, he has so
weeks in a year, in which time he turns
out $4,000 words. An ordinary book Of
short stories contains about 10000 words,
therefore his years labor is equivalent to
20 books. At this rate of comparison the
feat of Marion Crawford of publishing
two books per annum does not strike the
newspaper man as an incredibly hard task,
even allowing for the extra amount of
thought involved in story writing Mr..
Howells considers a thousand words good
days work. Thomas Janvier is satisfied
with 400 words, or little over quarter
of cOlumn.-Indiana pcliS Sentinel.
