adverse report of the committee on ju.
dietary, which claimed that the bill

By Her Walk.

You have seen the women who jerks
her head as she walks, SUPPOSED The
habit is not uncommon, and on close
acquaintance you will find that wo-
man so afflicted is given to fckleness.
She trifies little too much with love.
and is just the woman to miss good
husband and be sorry afterwards.
The quiet man will never be happy
with the woman who digs her heels into
the pavement and scurries along as if
she were running race. She is bust
nesslike, and most likely the woman to
succeed IN trade affairs; but her man.
ner is of those simple thing that worry
the quiet man to death.
The girl who can not walk without
skipping is very cheerful girl and en-
Joys life with much the same gusto as
the girl with an elastic step, who tips
on to her toes at every stride, But
perhaps the girl we like most is the
girl with the brisk, musical walk, who
loves to peep for moment into shoT
windows and then walk briskly on, and
who, goes through life with the fixed
resolve of getting the most pleasure
out of everything.

Two Pleasing Accomplishments.

just now smart women are wisely
reviving two pleasant accomplishments
at which they were once so proficient
embroidery and fancy work of all kinds
and the arranging of flowers in their
rooms. When q society woman goes
out to dine in a quiet way she takes
her work bag with her and spends the
evening stitching at some pretty sofa
cushion, bedspread or mantle piece
border. This has been essentially a
flower year. Thanks to the Horticulture,
great armfuls of bud and blossom and
greenery are cheap enough to buy.
For the dinner tables little trees in pots
are all the rage The newest of these
are the tiny olive trees, the scent of
whose starry white blossoms in quite
delicious. A few seasons ago in Berlin
there was quite rage for little almond
trees. Lovely they were and smelt so
delicately-one mass of pink and white
blossoms. Now that autumn is with
us it is advisable to SOW acorns, chest
nuts, olives, lemon and orange pips in
pots. By and by one will be rewarded
with pretty plants for dinner tables.

Death Of col. James White.

Col, James White, one of the best
known men in Hawkins county. and
probably in East Tennessee, died at
his home near town, on last Monday
afternoon at about 2;SO; aged 80 years
In politics Col. White was a staunch
democrat, and as such had represented
the county in the lower house of the
Legislature once, and the senatorial dis
trict IN the senate twice. He also re-
ceived the nomination from his party
three times for congress, making the
race each time against Hon. R. r. But
Ter, by whom he was defeated, owing to
the large republican majority in the
district. He also made brilliant can
vass of the state at one time, as presi-
dental elector He was appointed
minister to Mexico, by President An.
drew Johnson, which position he filled
with credit to himself and honor to the
government.
When not in active politics he prac-
ticed law, being admitted to the bar in
1857. He was ready, forcible and
eloquent stump speaker, having the
rare faculty of being able at any and all
times, with little or no preparation, to
make an able and eloquent speech upon
any and all subjects, whether it be
temperance, Sunday school, secret So
cieties, or the leading topics of the day,
upon which he was posted. His like
in this respect, Hawkins county will
not see again in some time.
While Col. White was not member
of any church. and had his faults (and
who of us have not to some extent), yet
he was man with high sense of hon
or, bloved and honoredfby his friends
and family, ever having proved worse
enemy to himself than to anybody else.
However in his latter days he had been
living quietly at home with his family,
reviewing and repenting of his past life
as best he could, and steadily and earn
estly reaching out after God, until at
last when the final end came, it found
him earnestly and confidently trusting
in the promises Of a redeemed and risen
Saviour.
He leaves an aged wife, five sons and
two daughters. The funeral services
were conducted at the home Tuesday
afternoon by Rev, John H. Parrott, OF
the NJ. E, Church, South, and the re-
mains were inferred in the M. E.
