A Handsome Collection.

Last Sunday d special collection was
raised in the Sunday school of the M.
e. Church, South, for the orphanage
at Greeneville. The weather was SO
bad that only about one-half the schol-
airs were present, but the collection
amounted to SAT. 46. Of this sum the
infant class gave SIT 81 and only 40 Of
the 50 scholars in this class were pres
ent. This is an unprecedented collec-
tion and makes o record that will per.
haps never be broken except by this
school itself. Among the absent onel
on this day were three of our littl,
ones and it is their desire to make thu
amount even $4,000 and we cheerfully
/, add $254 to the total. They were
members of the infant class and thi
amount should be credited to that elias,
making that total $40. Is and the grand
total $4,000. This infant class i
taught by J. B. Cox and a more earn
est and enthusiastic teacher is hard Il
fild. To him is due the credit for 81
large a class. It's the result of severO
years unceasing work on his part
Every fifth Sunday should be Sc

Railroad Assessments.

Col. N. w. Baptist, chairman of the
state railroad commission, feels very
much gratified at the compromise which
has been effected in the tax litigation
between the railroads and the state,
which was settled on the basis of the
assessment made by the present com
mission. 1t is regarded as an indorse-
ment of the commission.
Col. Baptist says he will not be q
candidate for congress to succeed Con-
gresham Carmack, who is o candidate
for United States senator.

All Hallows Eve.

In spite of the disagreeable weather
the Halloween party given at the
residence of Mrs, Nettie Waggonel
last Tuesday evening, was very largely
attended. The affair was under the
auspices of the Ladies Monday Club
for the benefit of the Public Library,
and neat sum was realized to pur-
chase new books. The ladies of the
"Monday Club" sustained their repu.
tation as entertainers, which was at.
tested to, by all those attending.
The beautiful residence of Mrs. Wag.
goner was admirably decorated with
adornments appropriate to the occa.
sion. Grinnlng skulls, ghost-like forms
and CHASTITY faces greeted the visitors
and made them feel the influence Of
the uncanny surroundings.
His Satanic Majesty loaned for the
evening, the Daughter OF Rameses II,
disciple of Osiris, who, gifted with the
wisdom of ages, presided in the Gyp-
sy's booth. She told of the happiness
and unhappiness that will be meted
out to all those who "Crossed her palm
with Silver"
Various games were played from
which the participants derived much
enjoyment. The features of the eve
ming were the singing by Rev. A. Kill
heifor, of Shamokin, Pa, and recita
tions by MISS Willie Ray the accom-,
plished eIocutionist of Asheville, N. G.
The refreshments we're as dainty as
they were delightful and served in (
most charming manner.
| When the delighted guests finally
decided to tear themselves away they
only got as far as the gate. Some mis-
chievous fellows, full of the spirit o
Halloween, or some other kind of spir
its, had locked the gate with a chair
and paddock. No effort could break i
and a stile had to be improvised. TIL,
truth is there were various styles EN-
ployed in getting over the fence ant
most of them looked best at night.

Nagasaki. japan. Sent. %.

We arrived here yesterday after a
most delightful passage. The Inland
Sea has been just like canal. We
were in sight of the continent OF Asia
yesterday morning. You know that
is the country that Japan and China
got to scrapping about.
Nagasaki is beautiful little place
surrounded by green islands. The har-
Dor is rather small one, and is nearly
covered with water craft of every de-
scription. There is British war ship
only about two ship lengths from us.
Some of the crew were in swimming
this morning. 1t is reported that the
U. s. transport Columbia from Frisco
has arrived here. The Japs are now
coaling up our ship and we are going
ashore this morning. We will go be-
tween the island Formosa and China on
our way to Manila.
There is only one thing to complain
of in the army, and that is tho grub.
Yesterday we had what we called in
Cuba he'll fred stew, and my break
fast and dinner were very light meals.
But for supper we had pork and beans,
and how we do eat when we get some
thing that we can eat.
The harbor here covers a hundred
acres, and perhaps more, and the hills
go right up from the water. The houses
rise in tiers very much like they were
on Buzzards Hill. The hills are all
terraced, and are very green. Last
night it was all lighted up and was very
nice. The night was very pleasant.
and the boys were out on deck singing
and talking. The Japs have q good
many coasters, good modern steamers,
and seem to be making good progress.
Lots of workmen wear nothing except
cloth over the hips and other things
too numerous mention.
The women and every thing else are
very mush as at Yakahoma. / suppose
my next letter will be from Manila, as
we ought to get there by Oct. z or 8.

Will Widen the Creek.

1t has been apparent for some time
that the opening under the Southern
railway track was not wide enough to
allow Brush creek to flow through
when it was angry, and land, owners
above began to complain of the dam
age done by back water and threatened
to sue. Recognizing the business Of
the complaint the Southern officials de.
cided to widen the creek bed at this
point and the bridge crew are now at
work. The creek will be widened
about 10 feet.

Enlarging the Plant.

VIM. E. Uptegrove & Bro. have de-

it has been necessary to build an add
ton to their plant, and theyhaye erect

are now cutting dimension stock at'the
rate Of car load of cigar boxes a

ped direct to.the box manufacturers to

Back Assessments.

Comptroller Thomas says that the
work of back assessment will be con-
tinued in all the counties. He says
further that the constitutionality of his
action in this regard is backed up by
the opinion of some of the leading law
yers of the state, and he will proceed
along the lines he has already adopted.
Several large estates in the state are
being back-assessed, and in many in
stances settlements have been made
out of court.
