Dom Waste Opportunities

Most people waste the opportunities of
the present in waiting for the good time
coming.
Better keep an eye on the good time
going; it will go fast enough and won't be
back your way again very soon.
Ifindulgence in jealous, hateful thoughts
was only wasting time it wouldn't pc so
bad, but it is wasting vital energy and
peace of mind.
If the selfish person only knew enough
he would try to think we'll rather than
ill even of his enemies.

To the Hon. Geo. Anderson, Judge
of the Ninth Judicial District
We, after being empaneled and
duly sworn grand jurors of the June
term of Claiborne county circuit
court and listening to your able
charge, we retired to the grand
jury room, organized, and began
work.
We have been continuously in
session for FIVE days, examined ff-
ty-nine witnesses, found ten true
bills, and ignored nine.
The poor house was visited by
committee and same reported the
buildings and premises in clean,
healthy condition. The inmates
were properly clothed and fed, and
seemed we'll satisfied.
There seemed no occasion to visit
the county farm, as there was only
one prisoner, who was reported by
one of our members to be we'll taken
care of.
A committee examined the sher-
ifs tax books and the chancery
clerks books, and reported that,
as far as they knew, they were
properly kept.
The jury visited the Jail in a body
and found it in a frst-class condi.
ton.
We are glad to find, upon inves-
tigation, that lawlessness is less
prevalent than formerly, due to the
efficient work of former grand
juries.
In submitting this, our report,
we feel that we have covered all
the ground and have faithfully dis
charged our duty. We, therefore,
beg that this report be accepted
and that we be finally discharged.

Picture to yourself the November
noon shining down upon the quaint
houses of Toxic. Her radiance invests
the late blooming chrysanthemums with
ghostly fairness. In the gardens, on tho
outside of the tea houses, in the boats
on the river, twinkle thousands of softly
colored paper lanterns, and each one o.
the throng surging through the streets
and over the bridges carries q Lantern
bearing his crest or his name in great
black Chinese characters, the Japanese
using Chinese ideographs in writing.
The enchanting effects of these many
lanterns have been compared to swarms
of glorifed f~irefies. Poets are writ
ing verses in praise of Lady Moon; the
pretty geisha girls are singing to the
accomplishments of curious Japanese
harps; people are drinking sake and
tea; parents are telling little ones that
the reason the November moon is so red
is because a big maple tree grows there,
and, of course, its leaves are now scar
let. Everywhere are laughter, music,
gay chatter. No wonder these happy
people call their Indian summer by the
joyful name of little spring. Good
Housekeeping.

TrnneIing Out of Libby Prison.

James M. Wells, one of the sur
viving actors in that astonishing
epic, tells the story himself in the
January McClure's. The Libby
Prison was the place where were
confined, right in the centre OF
Richmond, some five hundred
Federal prisoners during the Wal
of Session. Fifteen of these
prisoners, bound by oath to sec
recy dug their way down a wall
into the cellar of the prison, and
then tunneled out of it across the
street, out to the p~recarious liberty
afforded by the streets of the Con
federate capital. Wells tells of the
tunneling; of the escape by it of
some two hundred prisoners. many
of whom were recaptured, and of
his own dash out of the city into
the Federal lines. The story is one
that stirs and impresses with the
extraordinary patience and cunning
which comes to the imprisoned man
longing for freedom.
