face--s beautiful, brave face that
dwelt safely shrined forever in the
depths of Miss Enids heart-the face
of one who had surely, surely loved
her once, in the long ago!
And she fancied sometimes that he
meant to tell her 20, that the words
had trembled on his lips, the words
that would have changed her life and
his SO greatly! She had read part OF
his story in his eyes-clear, grave
eyes that were truth and honesty it
self-and yet he had never uttered
what his heart surely knew well, and
she had never listened to the sweetest
words that the human ear can hear.
For the old, old reason. He was
poor and proud, and he wanted, oh |!
his love-and he had gone on, mean
ing perhaps to tell her if the oppor-
tunity offered before the end. And
suddenly their parting had come, and
sne had known that he must go away
from her. He had told her SO him
self, walking home from the old church
at Christmas time, under the stars.
"Wish me God-speed. will you not?"
he had asked her, and her gentle voice
had hidden him farewell quietly and
evenly, SO that he never knew how
deep was the pain in the loving heart,
or bow near the tears were to the
pretty eyes that strove SO bravely to
smile on him Tor the last time. And
now, he Thought to himself, how he
would tell her eyerythingl He would
, ask her to wait for hlm, to he his wife
when he came back again with fame
and fortune to lay at ncr feet. And
the stars snonc down on them as they
went up the quiet lane, as if to bless
his plan.

A popular superstition is that on the
eve of Christmas the bird of dawnlng
singeth all night long to frishten off

1t was from this belief that Shake

We hung up our stockings on Christmas Eve
On the knobs at the foot OF the bed.
"We shall find them crammol with beautiful

To see Santa Claus when he came.
But dropped asleep very quickly indeed,

INSTITUTE,

The closing exercises of the school at
Columbian Institute took place last
night Saturday. J The session has been
extended a period of five months with
an attendance of over one hundred
pupils. The school commissioners of
our district have reduced the salaries
Of teachers one sixth in addition to
similar reduction previously made.
Our teachers refused to accept the re-
d%uction, and took an affectionate leave
Of their pupils. BIT the parting did
not take with the patrons who immed-
lately drew up an article and supple
mented the school fund sufficiently to
pay the teachers full wages for the
scholastic year. So Columbian Insti-
tute goes on as heretofore, with A. N.
Mettetal as principal, assisted by NJ. II.
Mettetal. The boys expected to have a
torch light procession, but were pre-
vented by the inclement.weather. The
march was postponed until next Sat
urday night. Before the readers OF
your paper get this letter NJ. II. Metet-
oil will be on his way to Nashville,
where he is to attend Draughon's Bust.
ness College; he will walk the entire
distance of three hundred miles. We
bespeak for him a hearty welcome
when he arrives, and we are glad that
Washington County has this energetic
boy to represent them at Draughon's
College. We know that he will not be
a stranger there long, as his teachers
and fellow students will not be slow in
discovering his mental, moral as well
as physical worth. Martin received
catalogues from many different col.
leges, but the gentlemanly sympathy
and kindly interest of Prof. Draughon,
has decided him for Nashville, where
he will be sure to receive every atten
ton due so deserving a young man.
We wish him we'll, and commend him
to his teachers, and feel that he will be

MORNING STAR.

The recent cold weather, seemingly,
cast a dreary, dull appearance we our
little village and its energetic inhabi-
tantants, but Notwithstanding all that,
our ever busy, hustling merchant, R.
M. K. Deakins, is always pushing bust
ness along lively. The school at Morn.
ing Star under the instruction of c. s..
MAIDEN as principal and j. d. Hunt as
assistant, closes out on February 8, with
an entertainment. U. H. Squibb, of
this place, who has been on the sick
list for some months past, is reported
at this writing to be some better. Mrs.
Matte Bacon, wife Of j. M. Bacon, we
are sorry to note is confined to her
room with a serious illness. James
Shadden, of Jefferson County, was Wis
iting at w. A. Sherfy's last week and
also gave j. G. Humphreys a call.

CARRIERS MILL.

l have been hoping for some time
that something of interest would hap
pen in the neighborhood that | might
have an interesting letter for the Her.
aid and Tribune, but as nothing out of
the usual routine has come this way
our communication will be short. Geo.
Fornshell, of the Herald and Tribune,
was shaking hands with friends in the
village last Saturday. Glen CARRIER,
who has been quite sick of typhoid
fever, we are glad to say is improving.
The Rev. Buck, of johnson City, has
been conducting IN interest series of
meetings at Union, We had the pleas.
ure of listening to one of his very able
sermons Sunday. on the subject "what
shall | do to be saved" we understand
that Mr.. Buck will open a series of
meetings at Bethesda this week. Miss
Cordie Bowman, of CAREERS Mill, made
a visit to her home at Johnson City
Saturday and Sunday. Clyde Bowman,
of johnson City, was in our village
Sunday. Hayseed enjoyed a splendid
dinner Sunday with the family Of the
late Joseph Hill, Esq. The Hill home
stead is n of the most interesting in
the county, having been built by Peter
Ruble, n of Tennessee pioneer set
tiers. Mr.. Ruble was a mar of great
nerve and energy although he possessed
many peculiar traits. He built his
house of logs strongly notched together
on a stone wall three feet thick. The
mammoth stone chimneys still stand
as firm asi If new, bearing the date 1899.
The fire places are such as future gen.
erations will never see, being about
eight feet wide, five feet high and four
deep. Mr.. Ruble is said to have made
every nail in his own blacksmith shop
that was used in the construction of his
home. He would work all day on the
house and of nights would hammer out
enough nails for the next days use.
Another interesting feature of the old
homestead is the ''Old Grandfather's
Clock, which Mr.. Ruble brought with
him from Pennsylvania, which still
stands in the placed framed for it in
the house and its tells the time, the day
of the month and changes of the moon
as perfectly as the day it was finished.
There are many other things of peculiar
interest at this old homestead which to
be appreciated, must be seen. The
school directors of the Fourth District
are considering the question of building
a new school at Bethesda. This would
be a great improvement and is much
needed, The only thing that the Be.
thesda school needs to be one of the
best schools in the county is a good
modern house. We think the Herald
and Tribune ought to go to more homes
in this community. HAYsEED.
