Encampment Instituted.

The star of Odd Fellowship in this
city is on the ascendancy. Watauga
Lodge, No. 219, has been growing SO
rapidly recently that there was nothing
left to do but reach out for more de-
grees and accordingly about fifty mem
bers agreed to organize an Encamp-
ment. The details were complied with
and last night the Encampment was in
stituted at the lodge room in this city.
The degrees were conferred by the
degree team from Limestone encamp-
ment. There was lull in the proceed
ings at 1890 and the boys went to
Hotel Carlisle and there INDUCED in a
feast that had been prepared by Mine
Host Easterly and which was served in
q manner that added zest and capacity
II the latter was possible, to the appe-
tites of the distinguished gentlemen
present. There was govt in every
course and cheer in every draught but
the banqueters were fearless as we'll as
Odd Fellows and defed the disease
germs and devouted the vehicle that
carried them. The great dining room

within the limits of the state OF Ten
nessee. and to have engraved thereon
the name, rank and command, age,
date of death, and where buried, Of

quested to communicate with Judge 8.
j. kirkpatrick of Jonesboro, at once
giving all such facts as they may pos

during the remainder of the week are
Of standard merit, and the company,

evenly balanced aud does exceptionally
clever work. The specialties are good
and clean, there being a noticeable alb
sence of suggestive or improper lines.
On the whole the performances are

not a single Objectionable feature in
any of the stage work. The patronage
has been gratifying and the company

Mandamus issued.

Deputy Clerk and Master s. +. Mil.
Ter Tuesday issued q mandamus il the
cause of +. W. Baum VS.. johnson
City, to compel the board of mayor
and aldermen to make a special tax levy
to raise funds to pay the Judgment Of
$1,000, with interests and costs. 1t is
expected that another will be issued in
the cause of d. W. Shipley against the
city, to collect judgment of $500.
All this means that the tax levy must
be increased 60 cents, making a total
Of $500 for city and $1.O5 for state aud
county, or a grand total of 1896 for
1908 trIes.
The mandamus in the Baum case
seeks to have the surplus in the inter-
est fund, about $4,000, applied to the
payment of the debt, but this surplus
has long since been transferred to the
street fund and expended upon Wal
nut street, therefore the only manner
by which these debts can be met is by
direct taxation.

In the pleasant summer weather,
Little caring what direction you

Then tired al last of roaming,
You are sitting in the cleaning,
And the lights are turned away

And then, your love confessing,
For an answer you are pressing"
While You dream of the happy
bye and bye.
When upon your thoughts ecstatic
Bursts June bug most erratic,
And biffs you in the middle of
the eyel
Then the 'skeeters start a-hummin +,
Other buglets keep a-comin',
A katydid is chewing on your
ear;
Every kind of nasty vermin,
That sets our flesh a-squirmin,
Holds convention in this boomin'
atmospheric
OF course the girls daisy,
But the bugs just drive you crazy,
Till you say good bye, and home
ward you will so.
And as you go you wonder
Why the dickens-when in thunder
The bugs will go to regions down
