An Alabama Lie.

"Oncst upon time-seven years ago
this summer-Andy made his first pass
at me for a horse trade, and l didn't
do blessed thing but stand there with
my finger in my mouth and let him
swap the very socks ofen me, as it were.
lie was ridin of big high-headed sor-
rel horse and 1 had a good plug of
mule, both of which had shed their
baby teeth many years before. l didn't
have but precious little to say about the
mule from the simple fact that she
hadn't been lookin to me for her corn
and fodder but a few days and 1 didn't
know much to tell.
q" There's the mule, Andy, and if we
trade you must take her like the hair
stands says /.
But from the way Andy talked a
stranger couldn't tell but what he had
raised the sorrel from a colt. Natural
ly l had to put little salt on his ram
bin remarks, but he looked me so full
and straight in the face till l thought
he mought by mere accident tell me
the truth somewheres along the line.
But in less than three days it come to
pass that Andy hadn't told me blame
thing about the horse which was so. l
didn't ask him no questions and he
didn't have to tell me no lies. He had
done it from the force of habit or a
freak of nature and can't say which.
Amongst other things Andy told me
and lowed he would kiss the Bible on
it-that the big sorrel was the bulliest
plow horse that ever peeped through
collar, and that he had been pullin a
22-inch Alabama sweep for three weeks
hand runnin-which in the fullness of
time that turned out to be the 22-inch
Alabama lie.
That was along in the last days of
June and l was in a scandalous big
push to scrape through my corn for the
last time. Well, the big sorrel was now
foragin in my lot, and I lowed he
mought as well be lookin through a set
of plow gear for me. So consequential
ly I hooked him up and swung him in
the next mornin. He helt out till about
noon and then turned up with roarin
bad case of the thuups. From that he
went slap to pieces and was dead on his
legs for two weeks
What did I do? What could I do, but
stand still and take my medicine like
a man? But from then on didn't do
continental thing to the big sorrel but
feed him on green stuff aud pile up soft
fag On bis bpnes. IN tGe neiG tins

was settln for Andy and every time he
would ask me about the big sorrel l re-
sponded back that the big sorrel want
gone nowheres.
"Along in the first cool days of Sep
tember | went to town one Saturday.
The big sorrel was lookin' to be in fine
fix, and the minut Andy clapped eyes
on him | could see that my time had
come to win out even. let on like [
didn't have my tradin stock with me
that day, but Andy wanted the big
sorrel. He followed me around town
and then followed me half way home.
At last he got my horse and got toll
erable good plug mule and six dollars
twas all he had-to boot. Andy then
lit out to make a three-days' trip over
in the hill country, and when he re-
turned back home the big sorrel was
thin in flesh and dead on his legs oncst
more. In the next place Andy had to
sell him to poor travelin preacher for
$50 on a credit, and in less than month
he was as dead as they ever make 'em.
Anyhow, Rufe, l am even now. In
fact, l ruther think am ahead of the
game. And l do hope and trust by
this time Andy Lucas has got forgive
ness for that 22-inch Alabama lie.''

Before midnight DO reckon / had
went through with everything in the
way of mortal pain and sufferin, from a
cold sweat to buck ager, and from a
nightmare to a dead faint. And then |
felt like l couldn't stand It no longer.
Under the painful circumference of the
awful surroundins, l couldn't think of
anything better for me to do than to
take a Tale bad case of the earache. /
had travelled the road before and l
knOwed good and well that nothin
would touch Aunt Liza's heart so quick
and deep as the moanA and groans of
sufferin boy. She will strike a light,
says l to myself, and come and work
with me and wait on me till the spell
passes off.
And so she did. When she heard my
means and groans and sobs and sighs,
she struck a~light and here she comes.
With laudanum and warm water, and
sperits of turpentine and hot fannels,
she doctored me through the dark and
weary hours of the night. But l
didn't have any serious notion of stay
in out there in that shed room by my
lone self, and so instid of the usual
speedy recovery, gradually by degrees
l got worse and worse. When at last
daylight come so Aunt Liza could go
out and find live Betsy bug, pull its
head off and let the onlyest drop of
blood fall in my ear, my sufferin yield
ed to the treatment and I got well.
Now then, so fur as 1 know, old Misses
Stoudenmire's ring streaked and
striped cat is dead till yet. Ny old dog
Mack lived on through many years, a
holy terror to every wild varmint that
ranged the woods. But as for me and
him, one house cat was a large and
gracious plenty.

Crushed under Slaves.

A man was badly crushed last week
while in car loading slaves at Col
cults factory, near Dyersburg. The
factory is located about $50 yards west
of the depot on the railroad switch, and
freight train was switching cars on
the track between the factory and the
depot, when the end car broke loose,
and running back down the track struck
the stave car with considerable force,
and as the man had stacked the car
nearly full of slaves, except small
space at the door, the shock drove the
piles of slaves together with him wedged
between them, and when rescued 1T was
found that both his legs were broken
and he was badly bruised about the
head and hurt internally.

particular rough on cats.
One Saturday evenin along in the fall
of the year me and Mack put out, we
did, and went off down the old spring
branch for a rabbit hunt. We didn't go
so very far before heard the dog squall
and then go off on n red-hot trail. Ifol-

l was right clost in behind the chase
when Mack put his meat up a tree. But

Only n Freak of Nature.

jest between us gals, as it were,
Itufe, there are but blame few things
in this world which l know for GER
tain. But if l have to tell it on my
own trifin self, l do know q most
hellatious plenty about two or three
things-men and horses amongst the
rest. Now I would love for some of
these durn literary fellefs that have
went off to school and picked up a lit
tie smatterin of everything, to tell me
why it is that a man like Andy Lucas
can stick to the cold facts all along the
line till it comes to horses, and then
couldn't tell the truth with a dead
rest.
The hands and the stock bein tre-
mendius busy layin by corn, 1 had cut
me a fast three-year-old wall1in stick
and lit out and went over to spend the
day with my old friend and fellow serv-
ant, Bunk Weatherford. And when he
branched off on the freaks of human
nature l told him he would have to
come at me with somethin little more
easier.
You must recollect, Rufe, that was
swappin horses often and on, more or
less, before Andy Lucas was ever
borned and brung forth into this world.
Horse tradin amt my reglar business,
you understand, and l don't make no
sulfurious big brags about what 1 can
do in those regards. But it gives me
comm appetite to spit when l see man
like Andy, which makes it his busi-
ness to trade, and trade for the stuff
he can squeeze out of it, tryin to throw
sand in my eyes and do the swappin
for both of us. 1 may have all the
marks and appearments of a native
born idiot, and 1 may have my lucid
intervals, as the doctors call EN-, but
I'll be dadburned if have ever yet saw
the day when l was fool enough to Leu
Andy Lucas swap my horse for his,
without my knowledge or consent, and
me not even lookin on when he made
the trade.

NASANILLEs 1ENN, Juuo ZZ
Many special trains arrived today

The blage was called to order
by Gen. Gordon, and prayer was offered
by DR.. Jones, the chaplain. Gov. Tay-
lor delivered an address of welcome in
behalf of the State; Judge Ferries
spoke for the county, and Bishop Fitz-
gerald, who represented Mayor McCar-
thy, spoke for the city. Capt. ]. b..
O'Bryan, chairman of the executive
committee, made some announcements,
and in behalf of the committee well
coined the visitors. Gen. Gordon then
spoke briefly, after which Judge Reagan
delivered the opening address.
This afternoon witnessed many local
reunions, soldiers of many States met
and revived the ties of friendship and
discussed the campaigns of years ago.
Tonight at the capitol brilliant re-
ception, given by the Tennessee Daugh-

honor, was held. 1t was largely at
tended and was one of the charming

ASSAULTED BY STRANGERS.
Anthony Roche Knocked Down by
Two ROugIis.

Anthony Roehle, an elderly man liv--
ing at Delano, Mimi, was assaulted and
roughly handled by two strangers, at
Ninth and st. Peter streets. shortly
after IL o'clock last night. The object
of the attack is speculative. Mr.. Roehle
Is in doubt as to whether or not rob-
berry was intended and could give only
an indefinite description of his assail-
ants. He was walking on ST. Peter
street, when just as he reached the
corner Of Ninth, the two men sprang
upon him. He received several blows
in quick succession, knocking him TO
the sidewalk, when the strangers took
to their heels. The old man was con-
siderably bruised about the face and
also received a slight cut across the
cheek. The police investigated the
affair, as far as possible, on Roehle's
story and claim that he was simply
attacked by q couple of roughs who
were under the influence of liquor and
