A Crazy Man.

On Monday morning, last, about :
O'Clock or half-past, Geo. Coleman,
haTness-maker and saddler, was mott
fed while at work for G. w. Seayer, on
corner Of Jobe and Spring streets, that
a crazy man, one belonging to the col
ored persuasion, was at that time try
ing to install himself as proprietor of
Georges home, which is situated at or
near the crossing of the Three C's and
narrow gauge railroads. George lost
no time in responding to the call for
his presence at home, but it was need
less, as his wife, who, in this case of
danger, converted herself into a hero
inc by using with alacrity the fire
poker. This was brought down with
all the power Mrs. Coleman could
bring to bear upon the unfortunate
but without sufficient effect to route
the intruder from the premises. The
blow was repeated, and at last the in
truder was sent spinning across the
room by another well-directed stroke
from this heroic little woman. BY this
time he concluded to go hence, yet
changed his notion Immediately after
getting upon the outside of the resi-
dence and essayed to re-enter the
premises. He was this time repulsed
by pistol-shot from the hands of Alec.
Wheeler, the target being missed, how
ever. About this time Joseph Wilson,
Fount Russell, Ryals Daniels and per-
haps another one or two appeared on
the scene, bound in chains and ropes
the unfortunate, the wild and raving
maniac, and were on their way to the
calaboose with him, when they We're
met by Mr.. Coleman, who was armed
with a Winchester. After the matter
had been explained to Mr.. Coleman,
the crazy man having done no harm
and being in the hands Of parties who
were determined that he should not do
any, he was allowed by the Winchester
man to reach his destination, the Gala
boose, where he remained until
o'clock p. m. Monday, when he was
shipped home in Watauga county,N. c.,
by Chief of Police NJ. r. Miller. The

1t is matter very gratifying to us to
state that our young friend, Jimmie

Morristown to johnson City in what
was thought to be dying condition, is
rapidly conyalescing, though partially
paralyzed on one side.

with the appellation. We do not mean
that he was one Of the imp's brigrade,
but we do mean to say that he was apt,
prompt and faithful apprentice,
which means much in these days.
He is son of our honored citizen,
Uncle Wilburn Hodges, than whom no

in one, but in every particular.
jim left us years ago to embark in
the cigar business, where he proved
himself equally apt as when with The

on last Tuesday he was brought from
the home Of Dr. Goddard, in Morris
town, by his father, Uncle Wilburn, in,
as stated above, a partially paralyzed
condition, being, as some say, a victim
to cigarettes, or the use thereof.
1t is our pleasure to state that though
he was thought to be poisoned by Gig
arettes, he was only contaminated by
love, his paralysis being on the left
side, where the heart lies, the infection
being done by one Of Morristown's fai1

"The Fiddle and the Bow"

The opera house last Saturday night
was literally jammed and was a lasting
evidence of the faith the public has in
Bob" Taylor to do himself justice
AS in every other instance, he failed
not to please the public, In truth, he
excelled himself in the first of his fonr
lectures. At times the vast audience,
on last Saturday night, was carried to
flights of oratory, the chief character
istic of which was not only surrounded
by, but simply engulfed in, eloquence
of the sublimest kind. That's the way
"Bob, /" of the Dixie kind, does bust
ness, and the north, east, south and
west know it. The johnson City Col
lege and Normal Institute has cause to
congratulate itself that wisdom guided
its actions in the selection of so emf
nent lecturer as the Hon. r. L. Tay-
lor, the favorite of not only home peo-
pie, but of those abroad. "Keep your
