The Hon. j. b. Frazier, who
will be the next governor of Ten
nessee, spoke in response to the
toast, James K. Polk" before
the Tennessee Society at st. Louis
on jackson Day. His peroration
was as follows; no you, sons
and daughters Of Tennessee, you
have left the old home and cast
your fortunes with this splendid
and prosperous city, and linked
your lives with the destinies of an
other State. 1t may be that as re-
voIving years bring gray hairs,
dimmed eyes and lettering foot
steps, you will turn again with
longing looks toward the blue
mountains of Tennessee. Tennes-
see! that sleeping beauty of unde
veloped empire, whose head is
pillowed where the morning sun
light kisses the SUBMITS of the
Unaka mountains! whose body is
cIasped in the sinuous arms of the
Tennessee and Cumberland, and
whose feet are bathed in the tur
bid waters of the mighty Missis-
sippi! Grand and majestic she
lies! Her bosom heaying with the
consciousness of undeveIoped rich
es and power, her head crowned
with the glory of the Appalachian
forest! Fair and we'll be loved
Tennessee! | have seen her when
her towering mountains seemed to-
stand ON tiptoe to kiss the passing
cloud, | have seen these same
clouds gathered together in battle
array, and with streaming banners
and flashing fires and roaring can
non; | have seen them beat and
storm and rage against her rock
ribbed, but impregnable battle
mentS.
| have seen them driven back
and with a scream of rage seek
their haunts amid the deeper de-
files of her mountain gorges. l
have seen her again, when all was
calm as a Sabbath day-when the
morning sunlight was tipping her
mountain tops with its golden glory
and gliding the dewdrops from
every forest and leaf and flower.
| have looked down into her beau
tiful valleys and haye seen her
winding rivers, flowing with clear,
translucent waters upon their
peaceful journey to the sea.
have seen her fertile fields, rich in
the exuberance of her golden har-
vest. | have seen her green mead
ows, dotted with lowing herds, and
| have listened to the music o1 the
tinkiing bells or the browsing sheep
upon her hillsides. When | have
thus seen her in all her pristine
beauty and loneliness and have
known her people-so brave and
generous and progressive and pa
triotic-I have thanked my God
that | was by the laughing waters
of one of her beautiful rivers, and
that my ancestors sleep beneath
the shadows of Tennessee's males
tic mountains. - Commercial APP

Thomas Cowart, of Chattanoo-
ga, one of the leading members of
the County Court, has been indict-
ed by the grand jury for forgery
and obtaining money under false
pretense.
A few weeks ago the County
Court of Lake county adopted the
four wire fence law for that coun-
ty. Tenants are not pleased, as it
will not allow their hogs to run at
large to get the benefit of hickory
nuts and acorns of which there are
yields. j. G. Harris
put up two fences as a test, one in
No. 8 Bottom and the other in the
fourth district. A few laws AGO
several of the wires were cut in
the bottom in several places. A
report from the fourth district
says that the fence there has been
completely destroyed. Every few
posts the wires were cut, making
it impossible for the fence to be
repaired without new wire.
