We learn that the colored citi-
zens of Grand Junction have organ
lied Normal and Industrial school
and have purchased 81 acres of land
near town, upon which they expect
to build shortly. Those who are in
charge of the project request the
colored citizens of Hardeman
County generally to assist in this
work. S. J. Hunt, (col. of Grand
Junction, is the Financial Travel
ing Agent.
After a long rest, our farmers
have again resumed work. The
continued rains have somewhat
delayed farming operations, but
there is ample time left in which to
make crop. Those who are dispos-
ed to complain, at this early date,
should think of the condition Of the
food sufferers in the Mississippi bot
toms, who have been compelled to
abandon their homes, whose farms
are inundated and will be for several
weeks.

fare paid both ways from

TOOK RISK IN COUGHING.
Barber Used to Shaving Colorado Con
sumptives Always Gave
Warning. -

The man in the chair coughed suddenly
and Unexpectedly, states the Philadelphia
Record. Don't do that again., exclaimed
the barber, with All unwarranted display Of
irritation. The man in the chair resented
in somewhat lurid language this restriction
of his personal liberty and intimated that
he would cough whenever be- felt like it:
"All right, then, cough your. head off, but
don't blame me if cut you" returned the
barber. There was no more coughing. how
ever, and the man in the chair made his
escape without any injury. But, as he paid
his check at the desk, he remarked to the
boss barber:
"Say, you want to give some nerve tonic
to the fellow who just shaved me"
ooh, don't mind him." replied the boss.
Hes from Colorado and he's used to shay
ing consumptives. He was telling me the
other day that he's been in the business for
over 20 years and has shaved everything
from a l6-year.old boy to an octogenaria N
drunkard, but his nerve went back on him
when he drifted into Colorado Syringe and
started to shave the consumptives who hang
out there Ever since then q man with .
cough gives him cold chills. Out there, he
tells me, not day goes by that some Hunger
doesn't get cash in his throat while being
shaved"

"JOE" WHEELER'S FLIGHT.
How the Doughty Southern Warrior
Sought Safety at s'The Last
Ditch"

Gen. Joe Wheeler probably would
have been able to add some interest
ing details to a story about himself,
one that has no doubt often recalled
to him that familiar quotation: BE
not forgetful to entertain strangers -
etc., had he been present in a mill
tary circle few evenings ago, when
an anecdote of his service in the con-
federacy was told, says the New York
Tribune.

war, in February, 1865, after Sherman
had captured Atlanta and made his IA

WITH A SHEEP ON HIS SHOULDER.
Eleventh, rising in his stirrups, ordered:
BY right flank to camp, march, and
don't forget, boys, that l am very fond
of mutton This was called out by a
flock of very fine sheep which we had
passed on our way, and was hint that
the colonel would not be shocked if we
carried some of those sheep into camp.
The boys acted on the hint and several
of them were loaded down with fresh
mutton when they reached the picket
lines. Here one of them, with sheep
on his shoulder, came face to face with
Gen. Rosecrans. The general was as
much surprised as the sneep bearer, and
both were in doubt, evidently, as to the
course to be pursued under such unusual
circumstances.
1.-The general asked: To what regi-
ment do you belong?' Promptly, our
Eleventh Ohio man answered.: The
Second Kentucky The general smiled
at this, because he had learned that it
was rule among men of the other regi-
ments of his division to charge all forag-
ing excuses to the Second Kentucky.
Then he asked: What is your name?'
Again our man named Jones answered
promptly: Wolf Rosecrans, natural
~ disposed to action that would favor
ably impress his men, looked the per-
spring sheepbearer over and said:
Pass on. A wolf has right to sheep

Episode.

my regiment" said an old Eleventh
Ohio man, relates the Chicago Tribune,
"served in three or four different armies,
and we had experience among eastern
as we'll as western men. We went first
to West Virginia, serving under Rose
Grams, Cox and Crook, then to the army
of the Potomac, and later to the army
of the Cumberland. So far as anecdotes
are concerned we have large stock to
draw from, if the doors of memory are
opened by the proper sort of reminder.
and this came to me with those stories
of the Fifth Wisconsin fellows.
Il have in mind now Rosecrans and
Turchin, differing as widely as two men
could differ, but each with an individ-
uality attractive to men in the ranks.
While we were on Sewell mountain,
West Virginia, there was less ceremony
than usual about camp, and officers and
men were careless in the matter OF
dress. One day, Rosecrans, wearing a
citizens overcoat and SLOUGH hat, was
walking about on one of those little
tours of personal inspection he was SO
fond of making when he was halted by
a sentry watching a. pile OF oats and
hay.
"Rosecrans waved him aside with an
impatient gesture, stating who he was.
But the sentry brought his musket to q
charge and said excitedly: Stand back.

are one of them darned teamsters sneak
ing around here for chance to steal a
feed of oats Stand back or will punch

signaling to a staff officer to approach.
said: Introduce me to this man. He
takes me for teamster and thief and

sentry began to apologize, but Rose
Grams cut him short, saying: don't
blame you. was wrong to wear an old
coat like this, and you were right in
stopping me-
ION another occasion there was re-
port brought into camp by an officer of
the Second Kentucky that there was a
full brigade of confederates in camp in
the woods not more than five miles from
us. There was great excitement, and
the Ninth and Eleventh Ohio and Sec
ond Kentucky were ordered out to take
the confederates in out of the wet The
column made the march of five miles,
guided by the officer who had seen the
enemy, and came out in the rear of our
own camp. It was case of getting
turned round in the woods and noun

pense of the officer who had led a heavy
column to attack his own brigade.
