The Nashville American says:
 The stories that have been circulated In the past week anent the Illinois Cen tral and the Southern railway withdraw ing their work from the old Tennessee Central shops, now the property of the Nashville Terminal company. seems to have given the public an incorrect Idea of the real situation. w F. Knox gen eral manager of the Nashville Terminal company. stated Wednesday that the two companies were taking some of their heaviest work to the main shops of those two roads, but that the shops here were using as many or more men than the Tennessee Central had ever employed.
 While some of the heaviest locomotive work is being taken to Knoxville and Princeton" said MT. Knox, "the car re- pair work here has increased to much greater proportions than the Tennessee Central ever had, and in all We are now employing more men than ever before Another thing: We have not discharged single man since the shop changed hands. The force of machinsts only is smaller, but this is because we have not put men in the places of those who have resigned. No men have been discharged. If we had work for more men we would certainly have them, for most of our work just now is other than machine work. The force of machinists have been reduced little, but, altogether there are more men employed in the shops than there were under the Tennessee Central road"

It is also said that the Mobile and Ohio will run into Birmingham on the Louis vile and Nashville track from Searles.

Every day an egg or two.
No each farmer gains his millions
Even though his hens be few.
Every & is very precious,
AM h hens are held In awe,
Whea O hen begins to cackle
Then the farmer goes "Haw, haw."
In tfs broad and busy farmyard

But tho shrewd, b~ewhiskered farmer
Only notices the hen.

CHAPTER XIV.
IN WHICH PoMPoN BRINGS HAIR
MONTY QIIT OLE DISCORD-

IN WHICH POMPON BRINGS HAIR
MONY OUT OF DISCORD.
During La Sales absence Tonti
worked hard to further the welfare
Of the colony. His first effort was to
do away with all possible discord that
might arise between the various ma
lions comprising the new settlement.
TO this end he summoned the various
chiefs and spent many hours ha-
ranguing them as to the benefit to be
derived from putting aside all tribal
feeling and joining with him In his
efforts for the common good. The
convincing nature of his arguments,
together with the presents distributed,
brought about the desired effect. A
gyand council was formed In which
each tribe received recognition accord
ing to its size. Simple general regula-
tions governing the community were
drawn up and assented to. A uniform
price for all skins brought to the
French. was established. The Anal
settlement Of all disputes was left in
the hands Of La Sale or his repre-
sentative. The limits of the land APP
portioped out for cultivation were
definitely marked. The space around
the base of the fort was all cleared;
the final touches to the buildings on
top Of the rock we're completed.
These things having been ac-
complishcd, Tonti waited anxiqusly
for the return Of La Sale. As the
