Sparta Fish.

The Sparta Expositor prints the
following fish story and affidavit:
sThere is small lake about a mile
in length IN the fifth district Of White
county, which rises IN the winter and
falls in the dry weather until it be-
comes entirely dry. About six years
ago it was noticed that very large
ish came up out of the ground as the
water rises and since that time many
have been caught with hook ana line
some Of them weighing as high as
ten pounds. They are catfish and
frequently large scars are found on
them, supposed to have been caused
by the rocks and crevices they have
to go through to reach the surface.
AS the water falls the fish 60 back to
their underground homn. Unlike
tie fish inNthe Mammoth Cave and
other places underground, these fish
have eyes and are perfectly develop
ed yellow cat 1t is supposed by
some that this under ground lake is
fed by the Cumberland or Caney
Fork rivers, and when the river rises
the water is forced to the surface at
this place. The existence Of fish in
the lake makes the theory reasonable

Northern Wisconsin people
are bitterly opposed to the free
distribution of seeds by the De
partment Of Agriculture They
claim the seeds are worthless
and that less than half never
germinate at all, and that what
40 come up do not mature. Per
haps the seeds are something like
some we got a while ago. They
were planted for beautiful red
beets, but TUNED out 10 be the
toughest Of mangels, but still if
some of our congressional friends
wish to send US some we will

WILL IL, HELP Us?

Should the extension OF the
Msmphis & Charleston railroad
be made this summer, can it ben
eft Sequachee? Even if it does
not reach Jasper, and we say as
we said before it must any main
line OF railroad within three or
four miles will help nightly.
But we want the line up through
Jasper and taking in the Pr}o
mill and on to Sequachee, and
everybody else, citizens and tax
payers of Marion County ought
to realize how much the county
can be helped. Let everybody
encourage the builders to build
the railroad as much III the coun-
ty as possible, One hue will be
sure to bring another.

A gentleman in the North

The condition Of the constitutional
democrat, as a rule, is more hopeless
thon the condition Of man suffering

His ailment is both hereditary and
contracted. He is a democrat be-

This is hereditary. He is a demo-

ually because he cannot read. This
inability to read is contracted but 1T
is also constitutional. AS rule the
constitutional democrat lives in
home where no books or newspapers
are allowed to loiter around. The
fence corners around his little farm
are grown up with blackberry briars
and prickly ash. lie plows his corn
patch on the hill side with an old
fashioned bull tongue pillow and he
rides to mill on steer He swaps
his surplus corn in the fall for wildcat
whiskey at the rate Of one bushel Of
corn for two gallons Of whiskey and
he carries the whiskeY home in a Jug
with a rock iii the other end Of the
ag provided he does not drink all
the whiskey before he gets home.
He chews long green twist tobacco
and believes III ghosts and rappin'
