Why didn't Old Maid sign her own
name instead OF her brothers name.
You see she has got scared and made a
leap clear off the subject Of the no fence
law, but stated that Beargrass' fence
was so bad that other people couldn't
turn their stock out for they would eat
his up. That statement stands in the
eyes OF the public contradicted on its
very face, and will say further his fem
ces are on an average with those OF the
rest OF the country, but probably not
all of it is up to the standard OF what
the law requires.
Now about the statement concerning
that old Jack running himself to death
after green grass is a base falsehood
and throw-off on Beargrass. | will
make affidavit before any notary pub
lie OF this county that don't own any
jack at all, and so, dear readers If dis
prove any part of his article he stands
impeached, and not to be believed on
any charge or statement against me.
He was very badly mistaken when he
said admitted owning a jack. | will
discredit every word he said about that
jack, and can furnish two afhdavits that
his whole statement Is incorrect.
He further states that he never knew
that was the peace and dignity OF the
state before, and he don't know it now
for | never said so in my article.
Now as to my plugs They are not
quite as bad as Old Maids brother re-
presented, but will add little to what
he said in that line. There are no first
cost horses up here. swap hors-
es sometimes, and sometimes they
are good ones and sometimes plugs, but
guess after all that give full weight
and credit. Beargrass is worth $1,000
and can own fine horse If he wants to
II it takes that to put him on equal
footing with Old Maids brother.
Beargrass will never have to got up
anything for the News under an assum-
ed name like Old Maid did to avoid be-
ing caught in net, Now, if you will
write the truth you will stand hereafter
my best friend, for the truth will al.
ways stand when this old earth is on
fire. will show you up later on for
l know your name and place OF resi-.
dence, and If necessary will make you
appear before the bar of justice to ans
wer to that jack fabrication.
When you write again write for your
self and not for a crowd of young gents
to laugh and Singer at, and when YOU
stated in your article about me riding
q jack with two strings of little sun
perch, and exchanged for Arbuckle you
know you inserted a falsehood, and
wanted to SANDER and disgrace me by
making that libelous and slanderou,
statement in the News. 1t was Just tC
get the laugh oyer me, and now you
have had your fun and had your day
and this is mine. To prolong this jack

Hostilities in Dixon's Cove have

mankind. The revival that has been
going on at Coppinger's Chapel closed
Friday night after having beon pro-

made many new friends. Although she
is young, she is good church worker,
and figured very prominently in the re-
vival at Coppinger's Chapel, work that
will long be remembered by both young
and old in this settlement, especially
conducted by Bro. Angel. The people
of Coppinger Cove feel themselves I'M
der many obligations to Bro. Angel as
it was through his fundamentally and
untiring perseverance that the church
house was built There has been a
church house talked OF for % years, but
when it was found that talk would not
do the work the people resorted TO 9TH
er means, add when the people were
called upon to make donation they
responded nobly, and the house was
built. Immediately after the house
was completed the revival services com.
monced, and there has been a great
work began, which VIC bopo and believe
will continue, and il Bro. Angel stays
with US which we hope he will, we
think his work will be crowned With
the best Of consequences. Uncle Aus.
tin Coppinger says il the church house
had not been built he thinks it very
doubtful whether he would have re-
formed or not.
Success to Bro. Angel and the new
church. Yours truly, Bill Dooley.

WITHHELD, Tenn, June 2L-Tho
Tennessee Coal, Iron a Railroad Com
pany is preparing to make extensive
improvements at this place. About one
year ago the company placed an order
for new drum. This immenee piece Of
machinery has just been shipped, and
IT, with the expense of adjusting and
getting ready for operation will cost
the company at least $4,000, While
the drum is being put in the company
will have a large force OF men widening
the grade OF the incline and replacing
the rails with heavier ones. The in
cline track will be made broad-gauge.
The company is constructing new in
cline cars which will have double the
capacity of those which have hereto
fore been used, which the writer takes
to mean that the number Of men en-
| ployed will be greatly increased, The
output of the mine has been heretofore
about LOCO tons per day. The company
is preparing to make now opening a.
bout one mile further up the valley
from where the coal is now let down
| the mountain. Whom this is done it
will construct railroad from
the incline to that point on a Lowell with
the head of the incline. 1t will place a
small engine on this road to haul the
coal to tho incline.
The Improvements that are to be
made during the month of July will a
mount to about S22, 600 There will be
no coal dug here during July.
1t is thought that the company anC
miners will agree on WACO scale fol
next year during this suspension. The
town of Whitwell is about to become
the best town in Sequachee Valley.
