SEC0ND.STORY THIEVES.
M. H. Dale's Residence on Jeffer-
son Avenue Entered Last Eve
ming During the Din
ner Hour.

NJ. II. Dale's residence, at 4lI Jefrer-
son avenue. was visited last evening
by the second-story sneak thieves who
have been operating on the "hill" for
some time past.
As in the previous instances the
work was done while the family were
dining.
A ladder was placed against the side
Of the house and an entrance made
through a bedroom window on the
second floor.
Four rooms were ransaCked, but the
only thing of value carried away was
a servants purse containing s.. A
gold watch belonging to one Of Mr..
Dale's sons was not discovered by the
thief.
Two men We're engaged in the job
but only one, it is supposed, went into
the house The other presumably stood
on guard below. This information was
CLEANED from a servant in an adjoiu-
ing house. She saw two men in Dale's
yard about $50 o'clock. but there was
nothing in their actions To arouse her
suspicious.
one of them, she says, was whistlin@
and for some time after she went in
she could hear him still whistling. She
supposed they We're doing some work
about the place, and it was not until
the burglary was reported that she
gave the matter second thought.
Mr.. Dale was not at home when the
affair occurred. He had business in
town in the early part of the eve
ming and dined at the Elks, intending
to transact his business before return
ing homo for the night. The police
have been notified.

NOTES FOR SHEPHERDS.

Don't think of using grade rams.
Pedigrecd animals only can be depend
ed on for satisfactory results.
Keep trough under cover in the
sheep yard pastures and in it put mix
ture Of salt and sulphur. This will
keep off ticks.
The vitality of the flock is sometimes
impaired by breeding immature ewes,
The best plan is not to have the eve
drop her first lamb until about two
years old.
Feeding lambs should always have
plenty of salt within easy reach. A
small quantity of wood ashes mixed
with salt will aid digestion and prevent
worms. The feeding lots should be
kept clean and dry and nothing should
be permitted to brighten or excite the
lambs on feed.
Do not change feed suddenly, espe-
cially from dry feed to pasture. There
is always loss of condition for few
days following and sudden change
Keep up the regular feed until the flock
have become accustomed to the grass

EhRLY TENNESSEE
HISTORY.
A Paper Read Before the Digest
Club " of McMinnville, Tenn,
by Mr.. M. L. Fletcher.
PART III.
CONCTTDED

John Sewer and Isaac Shelby raised
regiment of soldiers from Tennessee,
together about $50 men, to repel the
impending danger. They were joined
by Col. Campbell and his Virginians
also Col. Williams. They hurriedly
crossed the Alleghanies, and, sweeping
down upon the foe, attacked Furgerson
at Kings mountain, which was little
less than so miles from Lord CORVALLIS
and the entire British army.
The location selected by Furgerson on
the top of Kings mountain is said by
experts to have been almost impreg-
nahle. Indeed, so confident was he,
that he said the Almighty Himself could
not dislodge him. In this he was mis-
taken. Sewer and his comrades sur
rounded the hill and attacked in style
adapted TO their mode of fighting. They
charged up the hill, and upon reaching
tbe crest leveled their Dechard rifles
and moved down the British. The back
woodsmen of Tennessee were every one
of them unerring riflemen. Furgerson
fell pierced by five mortal wounds, and
mis- entire army were killed or cap
tured.
In 1884 North Carolina coded to the
United States all the territory that is
now Tennessee. But she made no pro-
vision for the government Of the ter
ritory from the time of its ceding to
the time of it's acceptance by the United
States, which time was to be two years.
Thus the inhabitants of Watauga and
Nashville settlements were left with
out a government. The outlook was
two years of probable disorder and
crime. 1t was doubtful if congress
would accept them. Thus thrown on
set up state of their own, owing no
allegiance to any other state or gov
eminent.
The constitution of North Carolina
was adopted, Greenyille was made the
capital, and John Sewer was elected
governor.
At the first session of the Legislature
of the state of Franklin, specie money
was not to be had, and the promises to
pay of North Carolina which circulated
among the Franks being worth only
about one cent on the dollar, they pro
soeeded to make the following articles
current money and collected the taxes
and paid their officers with this
medium Of exchange at the following
standard values: Good flax linen, tel
hundred, three shilhngs six pence pei
yard; six, seven, eight and nine hun
Sdred in proportion; tow linen, one shil
ling nine pence; linsey, three shillings;
beaver skins, six shillings; otter skins
six shillings; raccoon and fox skins, one
chilling three pence; good clean bees
wax, one shilling per pound; good clear
