cradle to say in regard to the coun-

don't care to enter into an ar
gument or discussion Of the matter
with him but want to ask him a
question or two and make him a
proposition.
Question. Tyree, have you for,
gotten the time the County Court
allowed you $4,000 for advertising
delinquent property, and couldn't
| have bought the same space for
less than $4,000, and wasn't your
bill for 100000? If you have for
gotten these facts you can have
your memory refreshed by looking
at the county records.
Now, Tyree, you say that my al
lowance was illegal and unjust. II
so say yours is more so and the
State Attorney has decided yours
illegal.
Proposition. l will select two
men, you select two, and let them
select fifth, and lay the facts be-
fore them, and if they say that my
allowance was illegal and more un-
just than yours, l will refund the
5000. II they don't say this you
refund your $500 90 and 1 will re-
fund my $5000
Respectfully yours,

Walked from Sheffield.

An instance OF to what extremes peo-
pie can be reduced in land where pros
perity is said to be within tue reach OF
all, came under our notice last week,
when Adam Thomas, of Sheffield, Ala,
reached town to get an affidavit signed
by Wiley Parker, he having learned
that Mr. Parker, a former member of
his regiment and company, was living
here. The man is physically unable to
do manual labor beyond doubt, yet he
has been trying for ten years to secure
a pension. The temperature last week
was anything but summer heat, yet he
told US he had to 'lay out" two nights
while on the way as no shelter was OBJ
tainable. He started Saturday to walk
back having had his papers filled out.

When l am at home in Tennessee,
In the rocks and on the mountain,
Drinking sparkling waters from the

Captured by the million.

this,
The truth l will tell and never miss,
You can hire there for dollar q day
And II you get sick, why come away.
The druggist there makes but little,
He walks the streets and with his
knife he whittles,
Once in while he sells Black Draught
That's one more twenty-five cents he's
caught.
The merchants there have their busi-

When the money comes in by showers,
They sell their goods and sell them
cheap,
You pay for the goods the money they
keep.
