OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

George d. Prentice described George
Francis Train as ca locomotive off the
track, turned upside down, with the
cowcatcher buried in q stump and the
wheels making thousand revolutions
a minute. A ship without rudder, a
clock without hands, an arrow shot in
to the air, sermon that is all text, a
pantomime of words, the apotheosis of
talk, the incarnation of CAB, a kite in
the air that has lost its tail, man who
climbs tree for birds nest out on a
limb, and in order to get it saws the
limb off between himself and the tree.
A MONDAY mystery, practical joke in

will Go to st. Louis

As stated in the American of We'd
nesday, the State National Guard will
likely go to st. Louis to encamp in
1904. 1t is a fact that there is little
more than $1,000 in the treasury to
the credit of the National Guard, but
it also is a fact that there is another
fund to draw upon. Col. Alexander
says that armory rent alone will ex-
haust the amoant on hand, but there is
an additional fund to draw upon
$4,000 extra appropriated by the last
General Assembly. Nashville Ameri-
