lee Cream Killed Her.

News of deplorable death from
poisoned ice cream comes to us from
Union church neighborhood, out on
Cherokee. The members of the Union
church gave a supper and socia-
BILE last Saturday night to raise funds
for their church, and the affair was
largely attended by the neighborhood
people.
Miss Buena Dunn, a most estimable
young lady of that vicinity, ate some
of the cream, and soon after returning
home was taken ill with violent cramps.
A physician was hurriedly summoned
who did all in his power to relieve the
young lady's suffering, but it was of no
avail and she died at o'clock Monday
morning.
Several others present partook of the
ice cream and were afterwards taken
i'll, but recovered.
1t was most deplorable accident, as
Miss Dunn was a prime favorite with
all her friends and acquaintance.

Again in the Tolls.

Adler Bright, who stole horse from
a citizen of the 18th district recently,
but escaped with his booty and evaded
arrest, was captured and taken to
Blountville last week, where he claimed
he would be able to give bond. Failing
in this he was allowed to pay for a
guard and remain out of Jail. This ar
rangement suited Bright exactly, for
while the guard was making himself
comfortable Bright skipped out. But
his liberty was Of short duration. He
was again apprehended and taken to
Blountville where he will not again be
accorded an opportunity to skip.
This is the same Bright who, few
months ago, left his wife in Tennessee
and married again in South Carolina.
He also had some trouble with sewing
machine company in Knoxville, and his
misdoings in this particular have not
yet been adjusted.
Bright comes of an excellent and
well-to-do family who has suffered by
his rascally escapades, his father hay
ing paid out thousands of dollars in his
defense.

Another Child's Sad Death.

Little Harry Oliver, only son Of Mr..
and Mrs. Burney Burleson, died last
Thursday evening under peculiarly
distressing circumstances. Recently
the little fellow had cut one of his feet
on piece of glass, but the wound
readily yielded to treatmentl and
the child was thought to have passed
all danger. But the wound seems to
have healed more rapidly than was
beneficial to the child, and not until too
late was it discovered that blood poison
had set in, and Notwithstanding the
most skilled medical aid was summoned
the little fellow rapidly grew worse I'M
til Thursday evening, when death re-
lieved him Of his suffering. The all
ment, it seems, was somewhat aggrava-
ted by briar scratches which the boy
had received while playing near the
home of his parents.
Harry was 4 years, months and 20
days old, and being the only child was
idolized by his now grief-stricken pa
rents, to whom we extend our profound
est sympathy. May the sweet assurance
of little Harry's Immortality find lodg'
ment in their stricken hearts, and thu
knowledge that their loss is Heaven'I
I gain relieve the poignancy Of theil
grief.

School Soon to Close.

Prof. Mettetal will close the summer
term of his school in few days, and
after one weeks vacation will reopen
on August 80. The present session
has been reasonably successful, 81
pupils-72 in the literary department
and 10 in the musical-having been en-
rolled. The discipline has been thor
ough and pupils have shown willing
ness to be guided and controlled only
four cases of corporal punishment be-
ing recorded.
Prof. Mettetal has so arranged his
curriculum that during the coming
year every intelligent, industrious and
regular pupil can complete two grades,
if properly prepared for the grades in
which they enter school. The professor
will not hold back bright pupil in any
study to aid duller or negligent one
in keeping up.
Referring to his school Prof. Met
fetal says;
cit is my wish that all who desire to
avail themselves Of my services for the
coming year, shall consider the follow
ing facts:
Pupils should start on first day and
attend regularly. They should be told
on leaving home for school that moth
ing short of strict obedience and per-
sistent effort in well-doing will satisfy
their teacher. I am careful not to in
vite the attendance of pupils whose pa
rents exercise no control over them ;
neither do I desire the attendance OF
children whom parents regard as too
good To be whipped if occasion demands.
l want it remembered that I will adj
NIT no pupil who is expelled from any
other school for bad condnct or insub-
ordination, and that I will retain no
pupil who does not conform to the dis
cipline established for the good Of all
concerned.
Tuition must be met promptly at end
Of each week unless you have made
satisfactory arrangements otherwise.
A full commercial course will be
taught as soon as class con be organized.

The New York Daily Tribune Of Au-
gust Bird, makes the following highly
complimentary mention of one our
former young townsmen:
"W. H. Henderson has been delega-
ted by the Central Railway of Georgia
and the Ocean Steamship Company to
represent them at the Tennessee Cen
tennial Exposition at Nashville until
the close of the fair. He will then re-
turn to New York. Mr.. Henderson is
widely and favorably known among the
railroad and steamship men Of the
country, having attained reputation
for brilliant executive ability, which
will insure the best possible results
from his connection with the exposi-
tion."
Walter has many friends here at his
home who will rejoice to know Of his
brilliant success in his chosen field Of
labor and cheerfully congratulate him
upon his we'll doing. He is son Of

A Pet Grievance.

lightning seems to have peculiar
attachment to our city's trolly wires,
and lately has caused no little incon-
venience, to say nothing of expense.
AS result Of one Of its freaks Thurs
day quite a number Of people, who had
gathered at the lake to witness game
of ball, were compelled to walk, or by
other means make their return to the
city.
This last was not the first time this
summer that the lightning has inter-
fered with the street cars, but it is an
interruption liable to occur at any time
with no one to blame.

In Western North Carolina, between the Blue
Ridge on the east and the Alleghanes on the
west in the beautiful valley of the French
Broad, two thousand feet above the sea, lies
Asheville, beautiful picturesque and world
famed as one of the most pleasant resorts in
America. 1t is land Of bright skies and in
comparable climate, whose praises have been
sung by poets, and whose beauties of stream,
valley and mountain height have furnished
subject and inspiration for painters brushes.
This is truly the Land of the Sky, and there
isl perhaps, no more beautiful region on the
continent to attract pleasure tourists or health
seekers. Convenient schedules and very low
