The first snow of the winter came as
thief in the night. and Monday
morning with surprise saw the earth
buried in white. A sleet having pre-
ceded the lighter snowflake, all the
trees and shrubbery and bushes were
clothed and burdened with dazzling
tieeciness, which. when tinted by the
rosy rays of the morning sun, ravished
the eye with its beauty.

An excellent dinner, with the wild
turkey mentioned last week as the cor
ner stone, was served at Mrs. Jacobs
residence Saturday, and Mr.. E. G. |
Clark and ye editor were of the fortu- |
nate ones who partook of the good |
things provided. To capture turkey |
alive is rather an easy thing to do un-
der certain conditions, but to properly !
cook and serve him is the work OF au |
artist: let us bear full testimony to |
Mrs. j. IS ability and skill in the more |
difficult achievement.
The home and contents of Thompson
BIanton in theFlatwoods were destroy
ed by fire last Saturday afternoon
about o'clock. The fire originated |
from a defective flue and the roof was
almost ready 10 fall in before the |
flames were discovered and but few of
the household goods were sayed. Mr.
Blanton was away from home at the
time with a hunting party in Carter
county. There was no insurance on
the property, and the loss is large
one. Mr.. Blanton has universal sym
pathy in his misfortune.

The Mayor and Council agreed to
disagree last Monday evening on the
question of filling the office of City
Clerk. made vacant by the resignation
of Arthur HUFF. There were several
applications for the positions: A. II.
Melhaado. Geo. &. Gay, w. G. Fair
child and r. E. Wilkinson being
among the number. The mayor first
nominated w. G. Falrchid. but the
nomination was rejected by the four
members OF the council present-Wm.
Schwab. w. t. Gay, G.. w. Marshall
aud j. L. Baldwin. Then Mr.. Wiikln-
sons name was presented, but a unani-
nous vote also rejected him. The
mayor said he would consider the mat
ter until the next regular meeting of
the council. And so the question
stands. In the meantime Mr.. HUFF
holds until his successor is chosen and
qualified.
Bishop Tuttle of the Missouri diocese
of the Episcopal church, held services
at the Presbyterian church last Tues
day evening, and delivered most ad-
mirable, interesting and instructive
