Worth and Dan Mutt started to IN away
last Saturday, and almost succeeded in
the attempt. Both young men were
thrown from the wagon, but held on to
the lines, and succeeded in bringing the
horse to stand still before doing any
damage. This is the same horse that ran
away, and caused the death of Richard
Butterworth last fall.
Decoration day was celebrated here to
the taste of the old soldier The ceremon
les began early in the morning and did
not close until midnight. The marshal
of the day was Chief of the Fire Depart

formed at $50, headed by the Wrlghts-

the Council and members of the q. A. R.,
followed by the fremen. The Sunday
school scholars were in line dressed in
white and each carrying bunch of roses
The procession moved to the Baptist burial
grounds, where the graves of the departed
veterans were decorated with flowers and
an address was delivered by Rev. J. c.
Buchanan. The NJ E. cemetery was next
visited, where Capt E. h Kirbride spoke
in an eloquent manner, making several
touching illusions to the soldier
life, and in closing urged the boys to al
ways be ready and willing to stand by the
stars and stripes. The ceremonies were
closed by the benediction being pronounc-
ed by the Rev. c. R, Smith, pastor of the
M. E. church.
Those who did not attend the patriotic
exercises given in the hall last Saturday
evening missed something. Mrs. Hope |

THE HILLS OF TENNESSEE.


The moon touched hills of Tennessee;
There in the drowsy dusk
Ihe hawkmoth's wings as petals fair blown
from the parent husk;
Out from the solemn vistas the dandelions
float,
Like phantoms of the restless fays athwart
lonely moat;
The stars are gems that pin the scarf of
darkness round the world;
The silence whispers in low voice, and cares
ensign is furled;
And poesy wells over in huns and songs
and trills,
While fancy there her outing takes among
the brooding hills.
The sun kissed hills of Tennessee: All
beauty fingers there,
In day glare, or in cleaning, in cloudy times
and fair;
The breezes dallying In their midst on sum
mer afternoons
Are sweet breaths of the seraphim breathed
through million Junes;
The clouds that float about their peaks are
signal flags l ween,
That wave on walls of Paradise TO be by
mortals Scent
And there peace hath her dwelling, and
there her treasure spills,
For God was loving Tennessee when fash
ioning her hills.
Will Il. Hale,
Herald and tribune. [volume] (Jonesborough, Tenn.) 1869-current, 1896-03-04
LITERARY NOTES.

In none of his papers upon "This
Country of Ours" has ex-President
Harrison delivered himself with such
vehemence and emphasis as he has in
the March Ladies Home Journal,
"The Presidents Duties" Besides
commendinh one of Mr.. Cleveland's
acts, and censuring Ambassadors for
making political speeches, he talks of
Presidential appointments in most
feeling and an almost pathetic way.
Upon the latter theme, in giving en-
dorsement to Civil Service Reform, he
says: I'm spite of all the difficulties
that beset the question of removals
and appointments it must be conceded
that much progress in the direction of
betterment of the service has been
made. The Civil Service Rules have
removed large number of minor off
ces in the department at Washington,
and in the postal and other services,
from the scramble ofpolitics, and have
given the President, Ca binet officers
and the Members of Congress great re-
lief; but it still remains true that in
the power of appointment to office the
President finds the most exacting, un-
relenting and distracting of his duties.
In the nature of things he begins to
make enemies from the start, aud has
no way of escape-it is fate; and to a
sensitive man involves much distress Of
mind. His only support is the good
opinion of those who chiefly care that
the public business shall be well done,
and are not disturbed by the consider.
alton. whether this man or that man is
doing it; but he hears very little di-
rectly from this class No President
can conduct successful administra-
tion without the support of Congress,
and this matter of appointments, do
what he will, often weakens that sup
port. 1t is for him always a sort of
compromise between his ideal and the
best attainable thing"

THE BOY WAS A FIGHTER
And Found Chance to Have a Smart
Brush With the Indians.

'One OF the most amusing sights
ever witnessed was near Beatrice,
Neb., said B. T. Barnes, of Omaha, at
Willards's. There are few Otoe In.
dians near Beatrice, their reservation
being down the Blue River a
short distance. A New York man has
II year old son who has become ad
dicted to novel reading and the boy ran
away from home two or three times in
order to fight the Indians. The father
found that whipping did no good, and
concluded to send the boy to an uncle
who lived in Beatrice, which he did
together with letter asking the uncle
to devise some means for so thoroughly
frightening the boy that he would
never want to fight Indians again. The
uncle concocted plan. He had some
friends in the Otoe tribe, and he ar
ranged with them to attack party
that would come down the river next
day, 60 through the war Dances give
war whooops, and fire blank cartridges.
The boy was invited to 60 fishing, the
uncle remarking that they might find
some hostile indians, and had better
go armed. The lad was delighted and
a party of half dozen, including me.
started down the river. Suddenly we
were attacked from ambush by the In.
dian braves. We returned their fire.
and with blood curdling whoops they
started for us. We started and ran,
leaving our boat tied to q tree. All of
us retreated except the boy. He stood
on the bank of the river. He had dis
carded the empty Flobert rifle we had
supplied him with, and taking re-
volver he was not known to have out
of his pocket, he was fighting the whole
party of Indians. The first shot grazed
an old chief, and with,wild cries of dis.
may they ran into the woods. Then the
boy taunted us with being towards,
and the whole population of Beatrice
knew the next DAY that we had been
attacked and would have been killed
but for the prowess cf the youthful
warrior"

The PrOper Time

when the most benefit is to be derived
from medicine, is early in the year.
This is the season when the tired body.
weakened organs and nervous system
yearn for buildingup medicine like
Hoods Sarsaparilla. Many wait for
the open spring weather and, in fact,
delay giving attention to their physica
condition so long that a long siege of
sickness is inevitable. To rid the sys-
tenn of the impurities accumulated du-
ring the winter season, to purify the
blood and to invigorate the whole sys.
tenn, there is nothing equal to Hood g
Sarsaparilla. Don't put it off, but
take Hoods Sarsaparilla now. 1t will
do you good. Read the testimonials

between General and Col, Robertson:
the latter urging with much vehemeuce
that the Indians would be upon the
settlers in few days, and would by
the discharge of the troops meet with
no opposition; the former doubling
from the search made by his scouts,
whether the alarm might not be
false one, and at the same time being
unwilling to disobey orders, and to &C.
cumulate expense.

three times he heard the swish of

He had been travelling for some
hours in a northwesterly direction,
and did not notice the storm cloud
which had gathered in the north east
until sudden gust of wind caught
him up like feather and carried him
along at greater rate than he had
before attained. Somewhat alarmed
he essayed to turn about, but found
to his CONSERVATION he could make
no Roadway against the wind. A
moment later the storm burst IN all
its fury, and he lost all control of his

He had once been at sea during
terrible storm, Tut that experience,
as he now remembered it, seemed
like mere bit of holiday diversion
In comparison with the terrors of his
present situation. One moment he
was hurled aloft like a splinter upon
the waves of an angry sea, and the
next he seemed to be going down,
down, down into fathomless abyss.
An indescribable feeling Of gidOiness
and nausea siezed him. Soon the
darkness of night was added to his
other horrors, and still he want on
his devious way though the trackless
skies, faint, sick, frozen with tear,
tossed hither and yon by the demons
of the storm-the shuttle-cock of the
elements. But amid all the dangers
and uncertainties of that awful ride
upon the wind, whether borne above
the clouds or hurled downward to-
ward his mother earth, he carried
with him one thing that was as firm
and immovable as the eternal hills,
and that was his determination that,
if kind Providence allowed him to
escape from his present predicament,
he would never, never invent any
thing. Not even an excuse.
Bv and by during an unusually
heavy gust Of wind he suddenly re-
allied that the straps connecting
him with his airship had parted, and
that he was falling. A second later
| he was stopped with terrible jerk
! and became dimly conscious that he
was suspended between the heavens
and the earth by some object which
had evidently caught in the back OF
his coat. He felt a sensation Of
thankfulness as he remembered that
the garment was of unusually strong
material and then lost consciousness
