One Sunday mornin some two or
three weeks ago old man Turner Simp-
kins and his wife showed over at Bark
Log church--which their names, you
understand, are written there-loolin
like they mought of rode a thrashin
machine through a cyclone.
The old man he had one arm in
sling and his face was SCARED and
scratched from Dan unto Habberslsap,
as il were, whilst one section of his
whiskers had come up missin. The old
lady she was black and blue in spots as
big as bed quilts so far as you could see.
and she bad all the general experiments
of female woman which had whipped
her weight in wildcats.
To be certainly of course everybody
wanted to know when and where the
war had busted loose and what it was
all about. The old lady didn't do any
taIkin to speak of with her mouth, but
the old man put in to explain the where
fores and the whences thereof, Which
you must remember explanations gut
sometimes always explain.
'Me and Puss we had the gone-1yest
most straight dream the other night
you ever heard tell of perhaps" says
he. 81 dreampt that 1 had went to the
county fair and got into scandalous
bad fight with one of the Rankins boys
IN regards to horse race, whilstPuss
dreampt that she had met up with a
felonious big wildcat down about the
spring. So there we was in our dream
me a fghtin Puss for Newt Rankins
and her fghtin me for wildcat. And
there we had it-up and down and over
and under-till presently the dogs they
pot to barkin loud and furious and we
woke up. When finally at last we did
git woke and come to our senses there
was Puss and there was me fightin and
scratchin like IA cats in one meal
barrel. But we had jest simply got
mixed up and fell out and fit in a
dream"

Gold Near Montaarle.

Monteagle, Dec. 5.-Very quietly but
persistently the recently discovered
gold field is being put into condition
for work That there is gold and plenty
of it has been certified by the men who
have been getting out the ore, having it
assayed and securing options, etc.
About year ago man named Wat
kins came to the mountain, carrying .
small kit of rock mason's tools. He said
he was in poor health and wanted to get
some work. He never seemed quito
ready to take job offered, but spent
much time in looking up rock (?). It
has since been discovered that he found
the kind he was looking for. This was
about twenty miles from this point.
About three miles from the Monteagle
depot conglomerate earth near the sur
face has yielded in assayer's hands 1874
and 9. 81 gold to the ton.
The vein is two feet deep and about
twenty-five feet wide, so far as known.
1t is said that the Indians knew of these
fields, and there is legend that certain
chiefs shod their horses with precious
metal.

rennessee.s phosphate BEDS.

ACe40G7ecCS
The richest and most extensive dis
covery of rock phosphate in tho history
of the world has been made in Tonnes
see. The deposits underlie four coun-
ties, Davidson, Williamson, Rutherford,
and Maury. The rock lies in vein
averaging from to IL feet in thickness
and is but 20 feet below the surface.
The commercial value of the discovery
it is impossible to estimate, but the out
put will be worth more than that Of the
richest gold mining territory in the
world The discovery of the phosphate
was made by Mr.. Clark, well-known
chemist of Atlanta, Ga.
Among the men who, it is said, have
bought up largo tracts of lands in the
above-named counties are George w.
Scott, capitalist of Atlanta, Ca; 2. d.
Armour, of Chicago; James Mattison, of
LaSalle, Ind, and the Northwestern
Fertilizing Company, of Chicago. -
Representatives of Europeans are now
in the field. Carloads of rock have al
ready been shipped to New York and
Chicago. and several steamers have
cleared from Florida points loaded with
phosphate rock from Tennessee. Large
consignments have been shipped to At
lanta, and it is stated upon reliable au-
thority that several fcrtilizing plants
plants will be erected there.
James NJ. Stafford, State geologist of
Tennessee, says the rock is the richest
ever discovered, and that the increased
value to the State cannot be estimated.

which extended to a depth of ten feet,

After the excavation had been ex-

A basin was then dug out (Which gave
the well total depth of 351s feet) and
the hole was walled up. Since that time
the water in this peculiar well has never
been more nor less than two feet in

Jersey Cattle Breeders Association.


The third annual meeting of the Ten

held at Nashville last week. Many
questions of importance to the dairy
and breeding interests were discussed,
among other things the defects in the
present State law relative to protecting
citizens against oleomargarine, butter
inc and other impure compounds to take
the place of butter. 1t was resolved to
petition the next legislature to amend
the defects in the law, and a committee
was appointed to present tho matter.
The association is in prosperous con-

definite action in regard to making
display of Jersey cattle at the Centen-

partment took some action.
