Short Biographical Notes of old People
Now Living In the Eighth District.

To,the intelligent reader there is n
fascination in stories that picture the
fearless. bold pioneer with his strono
arm and chivalric heart, moving on
further into the wilderness, enduring
privation, erecting at last his log cabin
where the smoke from no other settlers
nut had ever risen; far beyond the
touch of civilized life, Such a char.
acter we instinctiVely admire and rev.
erence. Many heroic personages that
emigrated to the eastern counties of
Tennessee and braved the hardships
common to pioneerl life, have long since
passed into immortal dust. 1t is Of
these heroic characters still living in
our district that | desire to make men.

NOLACHUCKY.

The wheat crop is a partial failure.
1t was badly damaged by smut. Some
OF 1t was not harvested. There were
only two good fields in the neighbor-
hood, n on the farm of H. p. Bailey
and one on the home place of L. b.
Waddill.
The winter oats wero badly winter
killed and the yield will be small. The
spring oats succumbed to the prolonged
spring drought and will hardly be
worth cutting.
Corn looks promising but is might.
ly in de drass" on account of wet
weather.
Grass will be short and the conse.
quent deficit in provender will have
to be supplied by corr fodder.
The apple crop amounts to nothing.
but there will be plenty of peaches.
The farmer, who knows how to an.
preciate and save a good thing, will
have an abundance of that most deli.
cious of all healthful luxuries-black-
berries. The farmer who is too short
sighted and parsimonious to give space
to this king of the berry tribe will
have none without he peaches upon
his neighbor.
The grape crop is simply immense
and there are enough plums left to as.
sure large size and excellent quality.
ID. +. Bailey has taken eighty pounds
OF excellent honey from one bee stand.
Miss Lena Waddill has returned
home from Clerk and Master Young's.
Miss Katie Young, of Jonesboro, is
visiting her cousins, Misses Lena and
Mamie D. Waddill.
They have got out 80 many hard tales
on Landon Waddill, Democratic can.
didate for Congress, that he threatens
to quit the race.
Mac Deaderick with a large crew of
hands has been cleaning out the islands
and shoals of the river of the fugitive
saw logs belonging to the Unaka
Lumber Company. Their boom at
General Wilder's saw mill was broken
oy one of the recent tides and about
4OO stocks got away, all of which have
been recovered. They will be taken
out of the river at Glaze's mill, sawed
and shipped from Limestone.
The gardens in this section were con-
siderably damaged by a severe rain
storm recently but the excellent season
has repaid the loss.
There are several candidates for
school directors. No matter who is
elected, the everlasting row over the
schools will go on all the same.
There are three candidates for Tax
Assessor-one Democrat and two Re.
publicans. D. H. Shields will continue
in the race as his friends claim that he
is rightful nominee, and that he was
defeated by the votes of Democrats.
Populists and boys. He was beaten six
votes in the primary. All parties agree
that he is the best qualified man in the
district for the place.
The pistol carriers and night distur.
bers seem unusually quiet at this time.
A boy came near being drowned in
the river a few Sundays since.

ket may write again. SAMANTHA.

Slim Chance,

A nominee for President on a free
silver platform will lose everyone of
the border States, and probably North
Carolina, Alabama and Tennessee. He
VIII have no chance in the New Eng.
land or Middle States, and Ohio, Indi.
ana, Illinois, Wisconsin and Michigan
are as certain to go against him. This
Leaves the silverites a fighting chance
IN a half dozen Southern States and in
the far West. A campaign for free
silver being so hopeless, even before
the first gun is fired, is already causing
the politicians many a ~sleepless hour
and to wish that the free silver craze
was not quite SO rampant as it now
seems TO be.-Louisyille Post.
