Eighth District.

The long continued drouth has bad
ly injured many of our crops, especially
wheat and oats.
Many of our citizens are taking adj
vantage of the present nearness of saw
mills to have lumber cut for new

w. +. Hufine, who lately returned
from Athens, is considered our chief
manufacturer of futter-wheels and

Quite q number of our citizens at

them followed the usual program of a
bug juice adjournment.
Our political status is at present just
little mixed, especially in the corner
of our district adjoining the 18th. No
storms have actually taken place, but
we can hear the muttering thunders
which may shortly break in storm

1t is at all times painful to observe
young lady deporting harself in a
manner other than becomes one of her
sex and station, but to be publicly
guilty of unladylike conduct is thing
we can neither understand nor APP
prove. At the opera house last Friday
night at least one young lady might
have. been enjoying herself, but she
did so at the price of her dignity, to say
the least. Perhaps she couldn't appre-
ciate the excellence of the entertain.
ment and decided to suspend the rules
of decorum long enough to "chew up
half dozen printed programs and
throw the pellets at unofending per-
sons who were evidently enjoying the
entertainment. At all events that is
what she did, and had it been in u met
ropolitan theatre she would have been
politely requested to retire.

Supposed Lynchers Released.

Last week we made mention of the
arrest and incarceration of several par
ties charged with having participated
in the lynching of the negro Chambers
at Cranberry recently. A preliminary
hearing was given the accused and re-
suited in nine of them being released.
Not word of evidence was offered
against them. Some did not even
know that the negro had been arrested.
Still they were in Jail for from three to
fifteen days, not being allowed hear
ing or to give bond. Six were held to
appear at Marion court in Mcdowell
county, N. c.. August 10, on the charge
of murder. Bond of 81 200 was required
and given. Those held were officers
and guards, Justices Greer, johnson
and Ashley, Magistrates Vance and
Steward. -Four of these proved an abb
by state witnesses. The other two
claim they can. The guilty parties nc
doubt have fed. 1t now looks as
though it had been a persecution in
stead of a prosecution.

A Charming Recital.

A we'll filled house greeted Prof. Par

Prof. Parsons masterful control Of

In fact he was encored each time ht

Tennessee Press Association.

The 1896 meeting of the Tennessee
Press Association is scheduled to take
place at Cloudland, on top of Roam
Mountain, Wednesday, June "a, at 2
p. M, and is expected to be the largest
and most enthusiastic meeting the as
ISOLATION has ever held.
The association will pass through
johnson City en- route to the place of
meeting, and it was intended to give
it hearty reception, but in this in
stance the railroads and the press have
not exactly worked together at least in
way to benefit Johnson City. The re-
cent changes in the schedule of the
Southern road will not allow the edi-
tors to spend any time whatever in our
city, as they will depart over the Mar
row Gauge Immediately upon the ar
rival of the $50 Southern train.
Our people very much regret the de-
struction of their plans to entertain the
brethren, as they fully realize the man
fold benefits to be derived from an ex-
tended visit by the representatives Of
the Tennessee press.
Ex-Gov, Taylor will be present at
the meeting and will deliver an address.
Among others who will be present are
Gov. Carr, of North Carolina, ex-Gov.
Nichols, of Louisiana, and ex-Mayor
Means, of Cincinnati.
On the evening of June 90 an elabo.
rate banquet, complimentary to the as
sociation and distinguished visitors,
will be given.
A large number of those who attend
the meeting will go to the confederate
reunion at Richmond after spending &
few days at Cloudland.
