We are now working about 1876 men,
but we desire to increase this number.
We run a large saw mill. We can
therefore use twenty two horse teams TO
haul cross ties. Two loads per day TO
the rail road can easily be made. Hus-
tiers may make more, cash settlements
for All ties hauled each week We can
also use twenty more two-horse log
teams. This is a good proposition for
good log haulers. We can also use
forty able bodied white men to work at
saw mil and on lnmber yard at good
wages. We employ no negroes We
have long steady job, and regular
work full cash settlements each week
for all laborers and all teams, for all
work done For good men and teams
we furnish free house and stable Good

Many of our lady teachers are
admiring Supt. Whites plaid
snit. 1t is certainly becoming
and mike Salisbury it enhances
his beauty rather than intensifes
his ugliness.
The U. S. History class is
making very rapid strides at the
study of this branch.
A certain young man when

The fact that slavery was
introduced by the Spanish at st.

This is a study which should
appeal to every patriotic Tennes-
sean and the manner of its pres
entation by prof. Simmons is
such that a more earnest attempt
to know more of our great State
should be made
Prof. Simmons is a host in
himself and commands the adj
miration of the entire Institute.
Prof. Simmons says he regrets

rolling are past. He further said
that when he participated at
such events they worked to the
tune of sTlle moonslline is with
us to-day.
The first week of our Institute has
passed into history, but there linger
many happy memories and valuable les
sons which we shall carry with us as we
march onward through life.
Prof. Simmons now feels sure of the
medal He caused little child TO cry
just by looking at her.
One lady member of the Institute
says her experience is such that she
positively knows the heart win beat after
being broken.
Let's all try and see if it is not a
move in the proper direction to begin
the sessions 10 minutes earlier IN the
morning. Only good things come as
a result of a little sacrifice and extra
effort on our part.
The little "Spark" which we referred
to in yesterdays issue seems to have
fallen on combustible material as to-day
much unnecessary talk was INDUCED in

woe-begone expression yesterday
that one of our sympathetic
teachers approached him and
asked if he was sick. He said,
No, l am grieving over my hard
luck, am afraid that Lord SAILS
bury will defeat me again for
Bachelor Of Ugliness. If SAILS
bury would not dress so neatly
and smile so sweetly could win
this time. But to clothe Salisbury
with a new suit and smile does
nos have the same effect as it
would have on any other indiyi-
dual. 1t intensifes his ugliness
instead of beautifying it,
Miss Ella Smallwood upon be-
ing asked to spell a word after it
had been misspelled by another
member asked, How did she
spell it?' Miss Arthur replied
How do you SPELL it?" Miss
Smallwood replied Il spell it like
she did, / think that is right
1t was suggested by Superin-
tendent L. B. White that when
the question of authority arose
between the author Of a book and
a politician it should be easy to
determine that the politicians
word should be taken.
The question Of whethef the
Tennessee River was known as
the Tennessee or by another
name at Knoxville, was under
discussion, when Miss Arthur ex-
planned that Congressman Walter
P. Brownlow had, in the rivers
and harbor bill securing an op.
preparation for the Tennessee
River changed the name of the
river from French Brood to Ten
nessee as far as Knoxville II
order to give that city the benefit
Of the appropriation. 1t was con
tended by others that the geo
graphins all designated the rive
as the Tennessee only to Kings
ton, which is some miles below
Knoxville.

| A Committee has been appointed to

will be a minority and majority report.
The committee all agree to Recommend
EBSalsbury but a minority of the com

be conferred on him for such time as
he shall remain in good standing with
the Institute. In discussing this phase
of the matter the minority says, ut is
SO palpably evident that according to
all rules and standards of judgment the
gentleman recommended is too thor

right to the positition to ever be dis
placed by discriminating body Of in

commend that hereafter no election be
