Tennessee Factory Laws.

The determination Of the promo
ters Of the new knitting MILL to 10.
cate their plant five miles south of
the city, to place it across the Geor-
IA line, has aroused much speculation /
among the most level-headed men Of |
Chattanooga. "Why is it?' they
ask, "that ChattaI:oogans should in
vest their money in manufacturing
plants TO be erected in another
State?' The promoters answer that
they have secured at the proposed
site important and valuable water
privileges. The general presumption
on the other hand, is that the decis-
ion is due to some imaginary advan-
tage that Georgia possesses over
Tennessee as a site for manufactures.
Elsewhere we print an important
article which presents some new
phases Of the discussion and which
clearly proves that the impression
that there is any advantage over
Tennessee by locating in Georgia Is
altogether fictitious and wholly i'm
aginary.
Georgia laws have no advantage
over Tennessee laws with respect tc
factories. On the contrary the ad
vantage is altogether with our State

likely not.
A pair of shoes are always
an acceptable present. They
are needed especially at this
time of the year, when
everyone has a new suit of

you should.

A HOT WEATHER YARN.
An Omaha Man Fries an Egg on the
Pavement.


AT O'Clock yesterday afternoon
when the sun was the hottest and the
wind lacking, an interesting bet was
decided in front of Norris tobacco
shop. A couple of men happened in
at the same time, and one of them re-
marked as he mopped his prespiring
brow:
''Great Scott, it's hot enough to fry
an egg an the pavement"
sob, come off," calculated the other
man. It's pretty hot, but the idea of
its being hot enough to fry an egg on
the pavement is preposterOus.
"l'll bet you a box of cigars. re-
piled the perspiring man, that an egg
broken on one of those hagstones will
fry in less than five minutes.
The bet was quickly taken an egg
procured at the Paxton Hotel. The
man who made the wager broke the
egg gently on "a spot where the sun was
shining with all its might Surely but
slowly the white of that egg began TO
turn just like an egg in hot frying
pan. and in five minutes was fairly
cooked
While the cooking process was go
ing on the loser was getting hotter
and hotter. and at the end the sweat
was rolling off of him in streams. -

They Caught a sucker.

The editor of the Poplar Bluff Re
publican has been fooled. The Re-
publicans of Butler county were aw-
full sweet To the Republican during
the last campaign. They promised
theeditor theearth with Hawaii thrown
in for good measure. They made the
man fresh from Altgelt's State believe
that there was fortune in Republi-
can newspaper at Poplar Bluff, II the
Republicans could be elected To the
offices. Mr.. Tromly bit at the bait
y number of Republicans were elected.
but Brother Tromly's fortune is not
showing up. On the contrary the ad
vance agent of prosperity has not
yet hove in sight. The Republican
Office holders are enjoying life. They
are looking out for themselves. They
are playing the economy dodge on the
places by telling the editor that they
must take bids on every job of print
ing they have to give out. They were
ID rasca1s before they were elected
but the newspaper that put them in Of
fee has reformed them and now they
are just TOO honest for anything
that is. for anything in this world.
The advance agent of prosperity is
stopping at their houses. The band
wagon stands ready for themto mount
in the next campaign, but the poor
Republican editor who yelled, who
tore his hair, who begged, who lied
for them is not in it. The poor house
is staring him in the face. He is
used tool. He has served his time and
he will not be needed till the next cam
paign opens up. Brother Tromly
mourns and we weep for him. He was
caught as sucker. He came from
the sucker State and he has proved up
his pedigree.
Brother Tremly has learned that
Missouri Republicans are not Office
seekers for honors He has learned
that they do not want Office for
health. The money is what they are
after and they get all the money there
Is in it.
Poor Tromly. We feel for you.
We pity you but we cannot help you.
All we can do is to give you advice
and if you can keep out of the poor
house till the next campaign that will
straighten you out and the advance
agent of prosperity with glittering
band wagons. will be under your con-
troll. That advice is:
Make the boys pay in advance. In
sist on it. Have it or raise hades.

RUNAWAY MULES.
Played Havoc with Vehicles on Main
street saturday Evening.

A span of big mules attached - 9;
wheat wagon took fright near the
Planters Mills Saturday evening.
They came up Main street like the
devil was after them. The street was
crowded with wagons and buggies and
they smashed everything as they went.
Four buggies, spring wagon and a
road cart were smashed. AT the COR
ner of Main and Themis streets the
mules turned up Themis street with
nothing left of their wagon but the
front axle and tongue. They turned
down Spanish street and from Themis
to independence streets they chased
Judge Robert L. Wilson's ; fast horse
for dear life. The Judge piled the
whip and kept straight down Spanish
street, but the mules left Spanish
street and went west on Independence
street.
The runaway was the worst we have
ever witnessed in the city and it was IL
surprise to everybody that no one was
killed.

THE OLD BIRD
And the Cage. or the Young Bird
without Cage.

And the Cage. or the Young Blrd
without Cage.
The Charleston News publishes the
following as true story:
Several years previous to the war
of 81. on the bank of the Mississippi,
near Telly's store, in Alexander coun-
| ty, ILL.,. there lived handsome widow
with nice little farm and a good
house. who had charming daughter
in her teens. BY chance there came a
man by the name of Uriah Martin,
who. at first sight, fell desperately in
love with the daughter, and, after
coming to see her few times, they be-
came engaged to marry. When Mr..
Martin asked the young lady's
mothers blessing, this was her reply:
ITO be sure. Mr.. Martin, | do not OBJ
| ject to my daughter marrying as fine
man as you: but did you ever think
of which you would rather have-the
old bird and the cage. or the young
bird without cage He said he had
not thought of that and that he would
| take the matter under consideration.
( He then cook stroll over her nice
| little farm and then down to the river
bank. where he found quite lot of
cord wood ranked up. In those days
cord wood was the same as cash: the
steamboats, all burned wood, and it
was ready sale at good price. He
returned to the house and said to the
mother that he believed hers was a
good idea. and asked her when she
thought would be best to have it over
with. This evening will do as we'll
as any time. was the reply. And
they sent for squire and were mar
ried, leaving the poor girl boo-hOoing
around with broken heart. The
writer does not know the widows
name. but thinks very likely she was
sister to Mrs. Martha Berry, spoken
of by the Bardwell. KY, Star, and re-
printed in the News a few days ago.
and probably Mr., Martin may have
been a half brother to John Whitley.
This is said by an old settler of Miss
issippi county to be Il true story.
