We have had glorious rain today. !
Everything looks refreshed.
We are making new moasses and
eating tito beat the Jews.
James A. Worley and wife, of Sui
phur Spring, are visiting We writer
today. A good time is expected while
he stays around here.
Up. w. was at the family gather
ing at Julius Pickett's Saturday night
and rendered some old-time music.
Bob and Henry Pickett have broken
all former records when it comes to
game of snap, or so-called twistifica-
ton. They represented old times 80
years ago by playing snap out in the
yard barefooted as rabbit. 1t was all
| could do to hold Jas. Worley on the
floor when Up. W" began to play on
his violin Nancy Roland and Tell
old John Briten | am gone. - The
spirit of thirty years ago returned to
jim, and by the powers, felt little
of by-gone days in my joints myself.
1t made me think of those good old
times and the good old days of long
ago.
Thomas Pickett and wife, of Ala
bama, are here ON visit to his broth
err S relative and will remain here for
the winter. He has got nice, intel
ligent family of bright children. He
has been in Alabama nine or ten years.
think we are sure to have we'd
ding here pretty soon. All indications
are pointing that way.
One of our good neighbors who went
to Chattanooga the other day with
cattle, got on high lonesome while
while over there and had a racket with
| Mr.. Wilson's two sons, and cut at
them several times with a knife and
ran after them 700 yards. They finally
! got ahead of him and were loaded
heavily for him when he came along,
and they persuaded him to go a little
faster than his usual gait, and he ran
sideways to keep from flying. The
boys put pack of bloodhounds on his
track, and ran him to Foust's Bridge.
Then he beat the dogs off of him and
his pursuers were right at him but he
eluded them by leaping off of the
bridge in Dan Sively's field, taking
down the creek to Tennessee river by
the suck and across Waldens ridge.
He laid out all night at the top ano
came in home next morning somewhat
fatigued and bewildered. He heard
his pursuers say, while after him with
the dogs, if they caught up with hin
they would fill his body full of lead
He said he told the dogs to get out o
the road and let man in that knew
how to run. | am lead to believe thi
incident will have a tendency to put {
quietus on this gentle sinner if HI
should be so lucky as to miss Hamilton
county courts. The above statemen
was made to me by the party himsel
'and the statement is correct and true
Joe Real has been on the sick lis
but is better now He said he was abb
J to eat molasses.
Mr.. Vandergriff said "P. W" wa
correct. He was on the ridge Sunday
but found "P. W" there and wa
very much surprised to see him go
, the press and say to the public he wa
, there and never said word about hin
self Vandergriff says he leaves tn
subject to the public to answer.
johnny Doodle Bug and Uncl
"Chalk Eye were out at the cand
pulling the other night and got ba
of hot candy and report warm time
DR.. p. c. Grayson has been sick bu
is much better.
Nancy White, who had light stroB
of paralysis, is slowly improving.
Julius Pickett is on the sick list bu
is better than he has been.
Ye writer fell and fractured ri
but is able to sit up and give fe
tips to the News.
There was a man who went to tb
bottoms a mile from home to the rive
mill, and when he got off his horse
show his turn to the miller he had fol
gotten his turn of corn and had lei
it at home on his porch. This is
clear case of absence of mind. Loo
here, neighbor, a few more passes lii
that and we will have committee al
pointed to wait on you.
