The Old Man Of the Mountain. |
BY "TIMMIE.n
When l was young;
All! happy when
Time has made changes
Twixt now and then.

TwiXt now and then.
IEAR down the dim vistas of the
long gone past, when l was a
freckled faced, unsuspecting
youth, l was undoubtedly the
worst boy then in existence. On
Sunday mornings after having
my face washed and the tangles
combed out of my curly locks,
instead of going to Sunday-school
as l should have done, two or
three of us congenial spirits
would sneak off to Obion river
and spend the day in fishing,
bathing and boat riding. On
one of these occasions after we
had eaten the cold biscuits and
other things we had been able to
steal from home while mother
wasn't looking, we concluded to
explore the little river to its
head waters. We got the old
boat headed up stream and toiled
for four or five hours with push
poles and paddles and had
travelled some ten or twelve
miles. The scenery was mag
nificent-on one side the green
hills rose one above the other as
far as the eye could see, while
on the other hand the dark Ten
nessee forest stretched away in
the distance. The banks of the
small stream were so near each
other the overhanging boughs
Tapped and twined together.
Night was approaching and we
turned our boat and headed for
home. We had only gone short
distance before the boat struck
rock and the water gushed
through the crack and in few
minutes the boat sank. We
were in an awful fix, not one of
us over fifteen years old. Night
was upon us and we were fully
twenty miles from home in a
strange place and not a house in
sight. We held a council and
decided to search for farm
house where we could stay all
night, feeling sure we could cas-
lily find our way home the next
day. We concluded to try on
the hilly side of the river as it
looked more promising and forth
with we climbed the first line of
low-lying mounds. These hills
are covered with low scrubby
trees and in some places, prob.
ably hundreds of years ago, ma
ture had opened wide assures and
vast caverns in the solid rock
and thrown up high mounds in
fantastic shapes. We wandered
on away from the river and in
the direction of the setting sun
until it was so dark we could
scarcely see, stumbling over the
rocks and fallen trees. We were
about to give up in despair; we
were hungry, foot-sore and tired.
As we thought of mother and
our home all lighted up looking
so pleasant and cheerful, with
nice hot supper steaming on the
table ready to be eaten, our
hearts failed within us and the
youngest of the party began to
sob and cry. We heard the
sound of dry brush breaking on
our left as if some heavy body
was passing over it and in a few
seconds a tall gaunt form loomed
on our terrified vision. "What
do you boys want out here this
time of night and how did you
get here anyway" said the
stranger in a rough voice. We
told him our misfortunes and
hardships in faltering voices and
asked him if we could not go
home with him and stay until
morning. He seemed to be in a
deep study for a minute and
then said: "If you three boys
will swear never to tell where
you spent the night and never

Is the Threatened Negro Abane,on.
 nent of Alabama and Virginia.

Newspapers are discussing upon the projected abandonment of Ala bama by the negroes Ill the event of the adoption of the new constitution now before the people.
 The same thing is being threatened ia Virginia. The Richmond Dispatch asks:
 In the event that the Alabama cen stitution shall be ratified and th" negroes of that state shall emlgrate, what could they gain by attempting to carry it out? here would they go? In any ether southern state they would have to meet immediately or eventually the same conditions that vii! prevail in thejr own state under the new order. Ks to emigratlng North, that would involve jumping iforl the fryingpan into the tra. At the South there are open to them, and will remain open, hundreds of avenues uf employment, which at the \ )Tth are barred and Will continue barred.
