Sam Boiling,

The narrow gauge section boss, whose
section extends from the depot at this
place to q point this side (somewhere)o f
Elizabethton, has been doing some
substantial and neat work on the yards
at Johnson City. He has with him four
good and honest hands, faithful and
efficient, who love to do good duty.
They are Thomas Davidson,
Stackhouse, Dave Netherly and Charley
Collett.
These railroaders, under the immed-
late supervision of Mr.. Boiling, are now
fixing the narrow gauge, or the "Stem-
winder" railroad, in first class condi-
ton, so that, if train should happen
to leave tie track, it will be from some
other cause than from that of Mr..
Boiling and his corps of efficient work
men.
In the yards, from opposite Colonel
Reeves residence, to the narrow gauge
depot, they have placed, by good and
solid repairs, the road that far over the
yard in perfectly smooth and safe
condition.

The Il st Horse Jockey.

When John Stroup was mentioned
in our columns some time ago as stand
ing in the front rank of the horse Jock
eys, we had entirely lost sight of the
fact that "Ohris" Bowman roamed
abroad in the land, riding a young
and fine looking mule, and leading an
other whose age entitled it to whiskers
as long as those worn by the genial
and sharp jockey who led it. "Chris"
is still looking for an opportunity to
swap off his antedeluvian mule. All,
"Chrisl" It's too old-you'll have to
make bologna of it.

Fount's powers in this peculiar and
mysterious accomplishment, if an ac-
complishment it can be termed, were
used to the merriment and satisfaction
of quite number last Thursday night
at N. P. Brewers barber shop. His
subject was . young lad of our town by
the name of Jimmy Linnyille, who is
about fifteen or sixteen years of age.
The young hypnotist would at mo-
ment's warning convert his subject into
a grave and from that into gay state
of mind, sometimes awake and then
asleep, his expression changing from
grave to gay, as the powers of the hyp-
notist were exerted. Fount, on one
occasion, placed Eugene Earnest by
the side of his subject and informed
the latter that it was young lady who
sat by his side. Quick as a flash the
subject was converted from a sad and
detected appearance into one of costa
cy, and in an instant more lovingly
embraced and saluted the young lady
with a number of warm and passionate
kisses. The spell was removed from
Jimmie and he Immediately assumed
his former grave expression, evidently
bemoaning the fact that his bliss of
moment before had so suddenly been
intruded upon.
The boy artist then pointed out to
his subject coal black young man,
Will Pierson, the bootblack and brush
er at Mats shop, and informed him
that Will was another young lady, and
in this, as in the other case, Jimmie
lost no time in showing his love for the
colored young damsel by implanting
upon her cheeks few more of those
rapturous kisses he had moment be-
fore enjoyed in showering upon the
white young lady.
Fount carried his subject through
various other experiences, and then re-
moved the spell, when the youngster
was allowed to depart and go home.
From a circular, which seems to be
pretty thoroughly distributed, it will
be seen that the youthful mind-reader
and hypnotist, Prof. Chas. f. Russell, +"
will begin series of lectures on mind
reading and hypnotism.
His manager will be E. G. Earnest,
anothar youthful character, of this city,
who has lately left the mercantile field
to enter that of the mind-reader and
hypnotist.
