En- cambio, saben demasiado los des-

Ii there ever was a time when people
should feel happy, it seems to me it
would be in the beautiful month of
September. Why not the people of
East Tennessee be happy? While this
section isn't a producer of the agricul.
tural product that commands such
universal attention and so carefully
studied and keenly watched in every
quarter of the earth, cotton. Cotton is
one commodity great and grand we'll
admit. While East Tennessee has her
natural resources, mountains filled
with coal, iron, marble and granite:
covered with forests of large and fine
oak, poplar, hickory, chestnut, pine,
etc. Hills and vallies clothed in beau.
tiful green robes of growing grass,
with browsing cattle, horses, hogs and
sheep in abundance. Our climate is
mild and temperate, with gushing
springs of living water and flowing
streams, with the health and vigor of
the people equally notable. Our people
are given to courtesy and hospitality,
and associated with a high degree of
education, with more schools for higher
education than in any other section of
the nation with the same population.
Our people have a great tendency to-
ward religion and morality. Wheat in
the grain bins and warehouses, fields
of ripening corn, the largest crop we've
ever seen. Irish and sweet pota toes
and other vegetables in quantities al
most beyond consumption. Orchards
ladened with delicious fruit OF every
kind; all of which is evidence of order,
wealth, happiness, life and home, all
luxuriated in rich bowers of prosperity
and intelligence, heavens greatest
blessings. Prof. Sam Wilcox opened
school at Chalybeate Spring Monday
morning. Sans a good instructor and
will doubtless teach a good school.
Prof. E. E. Shipley began school at
Cahal Spaing Monday; we wish him
much success at that place. W. II.

THE NEW HIAWATHA.


When the glorious summer sunshine
Sent down rays of burning splendor,
And the mercury boiling upwards
Made us seek the soda fountain;
And the stripped leg mosquito
Game buZzing round at midnight.
Claiming with us distant kinship.
Wanting to be blood relation.
When the festive watermelon
And the juicy green cucumber
Make the tombstones spring p thicker
In the graveyards on the hillside.
In this glorious summer season
Game the drayman with his wagon,
And in it a grand piano,
With a slick and shining cover,
And the legs all carved and pretty,
Drove up to our next door neighbor;
Where he placed 1t in the parlor,
Set 1t where the sun shone on it,
When he came up in the morning,
And 1t shone upon the racket,
Where the songs and operatas
Rest while giving out their music,
Then the youthful Hiawatha
Who before had been good neighbor,
Came in to that grand piano
And sat down to play upon it.
And from early in the morning,
When the little birds awakening
Send their glorious little songlets
To make glad the listning nearer,
Hiawatha played upon it.
And when evening came upon us,
Even up to very bedtime,
When the people sought their couches,
Played he on that grand piano,
Played the latest songs and marches,
Waltzes, polkas, operatas,
Daisy Bell and Annie Rooney,
Girls in Blue and other music
Played he there from morn to midnight,
Till the neighbors all said damn itn-
Said it too as if they meant it.

fused by the Court.

THE following, from the Evening

terest some of our readers !:
Julia R. Hall, on the 9th of Decem.
Der, 1893, petitioned for a divorce from
bed and board from jeremiah NJ. Hall,
to whom she was married in Tennessee
May 81, 1888, two children being born
to them. She charged him with cruel.
ty and non. support. To support hel self
and children, she stated, she studied
medicine at Howard University, but
charged that her husband interfered
with her practice of the profession. In
his answer TO the suit, the defendant
denied the charge made by his wife,
claiming that he had been a kind and
indulgent husband and father. In
turn, he charged that his wife had cru.
ely treated n of the children, and
alleging that his wife is a colored wo.
man, claiming that she had endeavor-
ed to pass as a white woman, refusing
to keep company with him, because of
his color. He therefore prayed that the
suit be dismissed, and Judge Cox yes.
terday afternoon granted a decree in
his favor.
